The first round of bombardment by the Elanhill Empire made the winter of the entire Demon Realm boil, and the Demon Resistance Force, which originally thought that the human attack was weak and weak, finally recognized the real gap between the two sides.

In the north, the focus of the Ranhill Empire's attack, the sound of explosions was everywhere. Thousands of cannons roared, sending countless shells over the heads of the demonic resistance.

These demons, who once flaunted their might in the human world, now have little ability to resist.

Although they still have an army of more than one million, in fact, the combat capability of these troops is actually very low.

They don't have qualified logistical supplies, because the cultivated land was destroyed by the Irlanhill Empire, and the entire Demon Realm is now in a state of extreme food shortage.

The demons that have intersections with the Ellanhill Empire, as well as the occupation area of the Ellenshire Empire, have a massive supply of food from the Magic Continent, so their lives are okay.

But those places that refuse to cooperate are quite aggrieved. At least, most of the demon-controlled areas don't even have enough to eat.

Without food, the combat effectiveness of the army can be imagined. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the demon forces, many demon commanders had to start indulging their soldiers to rob civilians of their own kind.

The demon dogs have lost most of them due to genetic attacks, and most of the remaining demon dogs have also become food in the mouths of high-level demon soldiers.

The population of the entire demon-controlled area is declining dramatically, and the demons with a population of billions have plummeted to a level of only a billion people a year after the outbreak of the war.

And that's not the worst thing, the most terrifying thing is that after losing a large number of factories and cities, the demon's war potential has been completely hollowed out.

It's not just that there is no qualified supply of soldiers, and it's not just that soldiers lack training.

The commanders of these demons could no longer even guarantee that their troops would be able to keep their troops running.

The original strength of 3,000 troops is now only 1,400 or even 1,200. And even so, similar troops are still the main elite of the demon forces.

As for the improvised patchwork of troops, some of the troops that asked for a strength of 5,000 could barely make up 2,000 men.

Such a force is not to say that it is fighting, it is barely maintaining law and order, and it may not be well manned.

What made the demon even more desperate was that even if it had reached such a point, the combat troops with a serious shortage of personnel still lacked food and clothing, and even did not have enough resources.

To take the simplest example: at the beginning of winter, the demons in the northern region replenish 115 sets of armor for every 1,000 soldiers, which is the material replenishment data on paper.

It can be seen that even on the whitewashed paper data, the war supplies obtained by the demon front-line combat troops are already very scarce.

What is the actual situation? In fact, for every 1,000 soldiers in the Demon Frontline Combat Unit, they can only get 70 sets of supplementary armor, and another 10 sets are repaired and transported back to the troops......

At the same time, the demon troops fighting on the front line consumed magic destruction arrows in battle, and the total consumption per day was about 3,000 arrows.

As a result, the number of magic destruction arrows added to the hands of front-line combat troops was only 2,400. From here, it can be seen that the magic arrows in the hands of the demon troops have actually been decreasing.

In the end, the reduced arrows can only be supplemented by ordinary bows and arrows: the demon consumes 15,000 ordinary bows and arrows every day, and replenishes 16,700 arrows, which is barely enough to maintain the number of arrows in the front-line troops.

You know, the demons have always been fighting defensive battles, and they are constantly retreating, so magic destruction arrows, including other ordinary bows and arrows, are all consumable items, and they cannot be recycled after the battle is over.

As a result, although the demons have increased the number of arrows they have stockpiled on the front lines, most of them are ordinary arrows, and the number of magic arrows has decreased dramatically.

Because the demon's logistical supply completely collapsed, the front-line demon soldiers rarely had access to non-combat materials such as cotton clothes, so the demon army fought in the cold winter, and more soldiers froze to death than died in battle.

There are almost no cotton clothes to protect against the cold, and there is a lack of bows and arrow weapons, and even armor cannot be matched, in this case, talking about the combat effectiveness of the demon clan is no different from joking.

Therefore, when Elanhill's heavy armoured grenadier troops began to attack the demonic defenses, the demonic forces were basically in a state of collapse at the touch of a button.

Although the mountain roads in the north are rugged, there is an end to them. When the forward troops of the Elanhill Empire broke through the defensive lines of several demon armies, a vast plain appeared in front of their eyes.

This is the granary of the Devil's North! It is a fertile place with thousands of miles of rivers and almost no dangerous terrain.

And the demon troops who were at the end of their rope finally realized that the favorable terrain they relied on had been taken by their opponents.

At the edge of a dry wood, a demonic officer pressed the sword at his waist and stared sadly at the smoke-filled mountain in the distance, their last defensive position in the mountains.

At this moment, dozens of A-10 attack planes and three AC-130 gunboat planes were constantly firing around the hill, and the fire and smoke there were clearly visible to him.

He didn't believe that anyone could come back alive from such a terrible attack, and he didn't believe that his companions could hold out for so long under such terrible firepower.

It is almost certain that before noon, the side will be occupied by humans, and the recalcitrant demons in the northern mountains will lose all their geographical advantages almost at the same time.

As an experienced demon commander, he was sure that in a few hours, those terrifying human forces would arrive where he was now and drive the troops he led out of the woodland.

Then, those planes that linger like flies will swoop down from the sky and harvest their lives.

At most, in an afternoon's effort, his more than 3,000 demon soldiers who were patched together would be annihilated. The ground was littered with corpses, and there were not many soldiers left alive......

"Damn it......" he cursed, but there was nothing he could do. He was ordered to camp here, train recruits, and prepare to defend the land to the death.

But now, with the strength in his hands, he can't accomplish this arduous task at all! You know, the army he commands is not 3,000 battle-hardened soldiers!

He only had 500 elite demon soldiers in his hands, all of whom were veterans who had been with him for many years. The remaining 500 soldiers are considered qualified supplementary soldiers, although they do not have much combat experience, but they can also be said to be strong and brave warriors.

But the other more than 2,000 people are basically armed recruits such as farmers, and their combat effectiveness is pitiful.

He felt sorry for these soldiers, if he had been allowed to train for another three months, these soldiers would have learned a lot. At least in battle, they can rely on each other and face difficulties together.

But now, the recruits have not been trained, and he has no time to continue training these people - in this case, the demon soldiers who have not been fully trained can only be wasted as cannon fodder.

"My lord! The trenches have been dug! In some sections, we also set up some covered bunkers......" A junior officer came over and looked down to report on the layout of the defensive line.

Following the officer's instructions, this demonic force established a defensive line along the edge of the forest. This line of defense was covert, it just lacked enough firepower.

They don't have decent anti-aircraft guns, so they don't have air defense - sadly, because of the presence of infrared detector devices, these hidden fortifications of theirs, in fact, are not "hidden" at all.

The other side will easily destroy these trenches and find out the hidden demon troops and kill them one by one......

And they didn't have enough firearms to defend against the assault of the Iran Hill Imperial forces: on the trench line at the edge of the entire woodland, this demonic force had only 200 replica Mauser Type 98K rifles!

Such a density of firepower, in the eyes of the army of the Irlanhill Empire, is almost like a joke.

"Adult ......"

"I see! Get ready for battle! Cheer up all the soldiers! The demon officer reluctantly opened his mouth and gave the order, as if he was welcoming death.

At this time, in the distance, a cavalry riding an earth dragon beast approached quickly, and stopped near the edge of the dry taiga.

This demon soldier was dressed in ornate armor, but it was not the traditional pattern of demons. Although I don't know when such a pattern style entered the demon army sequence, those who are familiar with this pattern know that this is the symbol of the demon king Aresia's descendant troops.

Yes, the armor is from Ellan Hill and was custom-made by Aresia herself for her own personal guards.

An armor factory in the Iran Hill Empire contracted this project and ordered a batch of exclusive armor for the demons, the number of which was a staggering 20,000 sets.

The point is that it took only 3 days to produce these armors, and the large mechanical production line gave them superior strength and almost perfect quality.

The knight stopped at the edge of the jungle, rolled over and jumped off the drake, then pressed his sword and walked over to the demonic officer who was staring at him.

"You're here to support us?" Seeing the knight walk in front of him, the demon commander asked slowly.

Although he knew that it was unlikely that the other party would come here alone to support him in the battle against the enemy, he still asked. Because he didn't want to hear any other answer, the one that bothered him.

"I have come on the orders of the Queen to convey her orders to you." The knight said, "Lay down your weapons and get out of here!" I can help you if you want......"
