905 Servant Army
"Shield!" Accompanied by the deep shouts of the Irlanhill Imperial officers, a column of demon soldiers in neat armor raised their shields.
Amid the rumbling drums of war, the rumbling of cannon after cannon, these demon soldiers, with small steps, slowly advanced towards a castle in the distance.
Although these demons are not as fierce and vicious as the demons that invaded the wizarding world before, they are bright and bright, and at least they still look like some elite troops.
It's just that the uneven queue betrayed them, this unit has not undergone any decent training at all, they are not qualified fighters at all, but just some kind of goods.
However, the military of Irlanhill did not recommend the use of these makeshift patchwork, and they did not feel sorry for the cheap, worthless armor that had been stamped out.
In the eyes of the high-ranking officers of the Elanhill Empire, the armor distributed to the demon forces was, at best, armor of the same level as the steel helmets they had used in the early years, and basically something that could be replenished at any time.
"Steady!" Beyond the range of the bows and arrows of the demon forces opposite, the commanders of the Elanhill Empire stopped their advance. They stood still, relinquishing command to the demon commanders who accompanied the demon forces on their attack.
These low-level demon commanders are all low-level demons who have been temporarily asked to come over, or some middle- and lower-level demon officers. It was also the first time they had fought for humanity, so they seemed a little overwhelmed and scrambling.
"Hold the formation! Raise the Magical Defense Barrier! "After entering the range of the other side, the attacks on both sides began to get bloody.
Elanhill's long-range resource artillery didn't stop, they still roared, and they kept pouring dense ammunition on the castle in the distance.
The demon defenders in the distance also began to fight back, and they rained down on their bows and arrows to meet the enemies who approached them.
"Overhead! Bow and arrow attack! Raise your shield! Raise your shield! A demon servant officer with his sword drawn saw the oncoming rain of arrows and immediately shouted loudly in his hoarse voice.
With his shout, the nervous demon soldiers in the untidy phalanx raised their shields above their heads.
Steel-skinned shields covered the entire infantry phalanx, like layers of fish scales. In the next second, countless magical defense-breaking bows and arrows fell, slamming into the magical defense barrier above the shield.
The crackling sound made the soldiers of the Demon Minions Army inside the magical defense barrier even more nervous, most of them were a group of civilians who had never experienced such a terrible battle.
To tell the truth, let them bully the weak and eat the same kind or something, they are at ease, but let them face the real battle formation, they are still too "young".
"......Click" As the bow and arrows fell more and more, the magical defense barrier could not hold on, and a noticeable crack appeared. Then, the crack began to spread, and eventually the entire defensive barrier shattered.
"Buzz......" A bow and arrow fell from the sky, through the gap between the shields, and suddenly plunged into the dirt under the feet of a servant, and the feathers at the end of the shaft were still trembling.
"Whoosh...... Another feathered arrow pierced through the gap in the shield, directly into the shoulder of one of the Demon Minions.
The soldier screamed and fell on his back, and several feathered arrows flew into the top of his exposed head. His whole body was shot into a hedgehog by feathered arrows, and the soldiers around him also fell one after another because they lost their side protection.
Because the queue was not pulled neatly in the procession, revealing too many gaps and flaws, this round of arrows rained down, and hundreds of soldiers of the Demon Servant Army fell in a pool of black blood, and hundreds of wounded people lay on the ground screaming and wailing.
"Steady! Steady! A demonic officer dissipated the magical defensive barrier above his head, holding his sword aloft and loudly reminding his soldiers to hold their ground.
To be honest, the war scene he faced at this time was the war scene he was familiar with. So at this moment, he seems to be more proficient and more calm.
He was even a little moved, because the familiar pattern of war was back in front of him, and this feeling was really nostalgic, as if he had seen an old friend for many years.
Before this, he didn't even think that he would ever see such a picture again, and everything he had to face when fighting against humans was much, much more cruel than it was now.
"Keep going! Hold on to your formation! In the distance, there were other demonic officers shouting loudly.
Their extraordinary bravery, and the composure and high quality they showed in the face of the war they were familiar with, even made the officers of Ellan Hill who watched the battle from a distance admire.
"It's only been 15 days of training, and it's good to have this level." An officer from Iran Hill held a telescope and looked at the somewhat messy demon servant military formation in the distance, and said without knowing whether he was sarcastic or praised.
"I think it might be better to change the training manual and train them for a month before they go to battle." Another staff officer said with a self-conscious analysis.
"They don't need to be good...... As long as they are loyal and willing to fight to the death for His Majesty the Emperor, they will be fine. The officer, who was still holding the binoculars, said coldly.
"I should train for at least 25 days...... Otherwise, the death rate will remain high, and it will not be easy to recruit these demons into the army in the future. The staff officer thought about it for the long term and opened his mouth to suggest.
Putting down the binoculars, the general of Iran Hill thought for a few seconds and agreed with the staff officer's suggestion: "You're right...... After all, they are willing to atone for their sins, and we should give them a chance...... Just a month! The next batch of demon servants will train according to 1 month, and then see the effect! ”
In the distance, the sound of war drums and cannons still did not stop, and on the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, the black Eagle Banner of the Iran Hill Empire fluttered lightly in the wind.
The phalanx advancing little by little was still uneven, and many soldiers fell screaming and falling every time the arrow rain hit. However, these phalanxes were still wriggling forward, getting closer and closer to the castle guarded by the enemy.
No matter what, they will take this castle, this is a test for them, and only those who survive will be eligible to enjoy the lunch prepared for them by the Ranhill Empire.
