Chapter 537: Cannon Fodder? Countless Cannon Fodder
In the southern part of the Tarona grassland, a vanguard army of thousands of people was constantly advancing southward, but when they approached the space-time rift defense line, which was still about a hundred meters away from the defense line, their speed slowed down.
I saw a figure rushing to the front, and suddenly stopped, raised his right hand, and signaled everyone to stop.
He looked far away, trying to see the slightest abnormality, but it was dark at this point, and he didn't have the night vision of a shadow mage, so he couldn't know everything in the distance.
However, his intuition told him that something seemed to be moving there.
And this person is none other than Anji, the commander of the Pioneer Battalion.
He was the last to set out, but he traveled extremely fast along the way, and it didn't take long for him to overtake several Brotherhood bands and reach the front of the vanguard scouts.
In his opinion, it was already a pity to miss the last charge feat, and this time he must be the first to rush in front of the demon army.
He turned his head and nodded to a man in black behind him.
The man in black understood, and soon came to his side, lowering his body and hiding himself in the long grass as much as possible.
I saw him silently reciting the mantra in his mouth, and the fingers of his right hand gently wiped on his eyelids, and his eyes instantly emitted a burst of purple weird light.
He stared carefully ahead, scanning from left to right.
After a review, he turned his head and shook his head at Angie, indicating that he didn't see anything unusual.
Anji frowned tightly and asked in a dumb voice, "Is it too far away?"
The black-clad shadow mage replied in a mute voice, "Possibly!"
After saying that, the shadow mage made a sharp flash, rushed forward for a distance of more than ten meters, and then continued to use his night vision ability to investigate.
This time, he also used his keen sense of hearing to catch the slightest abnormal noise.
But he listened to it for a long time, watched it for a long time, and still didn't notice anything wrong.
Just as he was about to turn around and return to Anji's side, his originally calm expression suddenly changed.
He stared back into the distance, and finally saw a few faint green rays of light in the darkness. If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely not be able to find that extremely inconspicuous green light.
But for an eighth-level shadow mage, the green light was a bit conspicuous, and there was nowhere to hide.
"What's that?" the shadow mage wondered.
But after such a moment's hesitation, he found that there were more and more green lights in the distance, and they were getting closer and closer to this place at this time, and the speed was extremely fast!
He was a little panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly returned to Anji's side and whispered: "Something is approaching, and there are a lot of them!"
I didn't know exactly what that was the shadow mage. His intuition told him that if he still hesitated and stayed where he was, it would be an extremely dangerous and stupid decision.
Angie whistled a very low whistle, which was the code of their vanguard battalion, which meant to be ready to fight at any time.
For a moment, everyone became nervous, squatting in place and motionless, not daring to make the slightest sound.
It is impossible to say that there is not the slightest fear of the demon army. Especially after experiencing the first battle between humans and demons, many people have left a shadow on demons.
The demons are brutal and bloodthirsty, and will not have the slightest mercy, once they are suppressed by the demons, what awaits them is only a painful death, not only the destruction of the body, but also the loss of the soul. What's even more terrifying is that the soul will be stripped away by those soul dementors, and the soul will be tortured and unable to be liberated.
Therefore, when they learned that the demon army was likely to be approaching quickly, all the soldiers of the vanguard battalion unconsciously clenched their weapons and waited for them.
Of course, they knew that at such a time, the more afraid they were, the more useless it was, and it would increase the possibility of their death, but the fear of the demon army in their hearts was also difficult to completely overcome.
Anji's face was as usual, and her heartbeat gradually increased.
This state is not because of nervousness and fear, but because of anticipation!
This natural warrior has an innate penchant for combat, but it's hard to say why.
Soon, the originally calm ground began to tremble slightly, and soon the amplitude and momentum of the tremors became louder and louder.
When the earth began to tremble violently, the vanguard army finally saw a terrible scene.
I saw countless black figures in the distance, rushing towards this place at a high speed, accompanied by many strange green lights.
Angie frowned and whispered, "That's, Cerberus?"
He was not mistaken, it was Cerberus, and it was thousands, countless Cerberus! From here, in the black and oppressive "tide," countless green "lanterns" were coming, and they were the terrifying eyes of Cerberus.
Soon, the fierce and high-pitched howl of the Cerberus continued to be heard, making the faces of some of the nervous soldiers even more ugly.
Anji comforted everyone in a low voice: "Don't worry, there is still a defense line of the space-time rift in front, and they shouldn't be able to rush over in a short time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the first Cerberus roared and rushed into the rift in space.
With a muffled "bang", the hellhound was instantly torn to pieces by the rift and turned into a black blood mist.
Then "bang bang bang", one by one Cerberus rushed into the space-time rift without fear of death, and they were all torn to pieces by the space-time rift without exception!
However, when countless hellhounds turned into a long battle line and continued to rush into the space-time rift, each time they impacted, they would advance a little.
In just one minute, no less than 10,000 Cerberus had died in the space-time rift, and they were not able to successfully break through.
However, one of them, Cerberus, had already rushed to the center of the rift defense.
At this rate, it is estimated that in less than two minutes, Cerberus will successfully pass through the defense line of the space-time rift and rush to the front of Anji and the others.
They don't rely on strength, but use countless hellhounds as cannon fodder to forcibly carve out a path through the rift in time and space!
Every Cerberus that is shattered by a space-time rift will weaken the power of the rift to a certain extent, making the rift narrower and shorter.
As long as there are enough of them, no matter how powerful the defense line of this space-time rift is, there will always be a day when it will be filled up and scattered!
Looking at the shocking scene in front of them, all the soldiers of the vanguard army were shocked.
Even a warrior like Angie is amazed.
He didn't expect that the strategy of the demon army would be so brutal, that is, to use countless low-level demons to break through this first line of defense at the cost of their deaths.
And judging by the current situation, this strategy seems to be working!
