Chapter 464: Aggressive
The order for Corcello to suspend the momentum was given by Pekins. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Her Komyrya Legion was at the vanguard of the entire army, tasked with identifying a safe area within the city so that the troops could follow.
After all, Cinderella is a city, and although the south gate where the army is gathered is large, there is no way for tens of thousands of people to enter all at once.
If it weren't for the particularly urgent action, the army of tens of thousands of people, all entering the city, would have taken almost a day. During this day, Pehin had to find a way to ensure that the movement of the army into the city would not be disturbed too much.
Fortunately, those demons did not have the consciousness to rely on the walls and gates to defend the city. According to the intelligence, more than 10,000 demons are gathering in the center of Sinderella's city at this moment, waiting for the challenge of the human army.
This is good news. Moreover, not only Dane, but also Pexins, she also saw a deeper reason - relying on the walls and gates to defend and fight was obviously a more beneficial option for the demons. If they don't take this approach, it seems that it may mean that there is no demon lord in this group of demons who can command all the demons, and can uniformly assign military tasks and fight in a unified manner.
Without a demon lord and a unified command of the army, there is nothing to fear. Even if the innate individual combat power of the demon race is much stronger than that of humans, it cannot make up for this shortcoming.
What's more, the number of demon armies is far less than that of humans.
This attack on Cinderella, from all aspects, should be able to be regarded as nine out of ten, and the loss will not be too large.
This is also the reason why Dane would rather push back the pace of the war for so long than start the war early. He just wants to gain a certain amount of time and space for development, accumulate enough strength, and then crush the demon of Cinderella.
Don't think it's a waste of time, but it's actually the least expensive way.
The advantage is enormous, but this war is still a fluke that cannot be tolerated. If an army composed of powerful creatures like demons is not treated carefully, carelessly exposing flaws and weaknesses, and being caught and bitten by others, the problem is quite serious.
It is precisely because of this that Percinth, the captain of the legion, walks on thin ice on the dilapidated streets of Cinderella. Seeing that Corsero dared to advance wildly in the city so ferociously, she also had a sense of fear, for fear that such a reckless action of that guy would accidentally fall into the encirclement of demons, so she hurriedly asked the vanguard to slow down and wait for herself to bring more troops to support.
Pehins' judgment was correct. She asked Corcello to pause the order to advance, saving a wing of soldiers.
Two hours after Corthero's wing had stopped advancing, some anomalies had already been discovered - all three ranger scouts he had sent forward had not heard back, and not a single living ranger had returned.
Although Colcello's fighting style is more offensive, he is sometimes more aggressive and lacks some caution. But this doesn't mean that he is stupid, the scout formation in front of him can't get back the normal feedback information, and the meaning of that representation couldn't be more obvious.
There is an unknown danger ahead!
Of course, there is a process for scout feedback messages, and there may be some delays in the middle, which is relatively normal, and there is no response for at least two hours, which is not a particularly big deal.
But Corcello wasn't going to gamble with fate on this matter.
Retreat now, I'm afraid it's already too late. If there is really danger, it is estimated that he is not far away. Then, instead of being hit in a hasty retreat, it is better to stand in place and respond cautiously, while holding on to help.
With the Sword Dancers outside, the Ranger inside, and the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry on the side, Corcello set up his wing in a defensive formation.
It saved him and his men's lives.
It hadn't been ten minutes since his defensive formation had been set up when thousands of demons suddenly appeared from the front of his parked position!
This situation directly frightened Corsero into a cold sweat: if he hadn't obeyed Pexins's order and continued to move forward, he was afraid that he would have plunged headlong into the encirclement of more than a thousand demons. At that time, when there is a surprise attack in many directions, it will be called the heavens and the earth.
Luckily, that didn't happen. The current formation of his wing is not bad, although there are no heavy troops in his troops, and the defense is not comparable to the hoplites of the White Wolf Guard, but at least without worrying about being attacked from behind and from the flanks, this battle can still be fought.
The first to strike is definitely the Ranger Force. More than four hundred rangers, after those demons emerged, immediately put the arrows in their hands on the bows and arrows, and under the orders of the officers, released a round of Qi ****** Spirit Ranger's shooting level is beyond doubt. Those demons who roared and rushed towards were directly harvested under the blow of the rain of arrows.
On the spot, at least hundreds of demons were shot by arrows.
However, it is here that the terrifying nature of the demonic army is revealed—their individual strength is indeed strong. Hundreds of demons were hit by arrows, but a large number of attacked demons did not directly lose their combat effectiveness because of this. Many of the demons who were hit by the arrows became even more violent.
This round of shooting, the demons that really took away, at a glance, seem to be less than fifty.
Corcello felt a slight pain in the egg. The demons were fast at a charge, and with the help of the ruins of buildings around the streets, they were already relatively close together when they launched their surprise attacks.
The speed is fast and the distance is close, so there is less space for the rangers to shoot and carry out long-range strikes.
The impact on Corcello's army was relatively large. Among his vanguard troops, the Ranger unit is the most powerful. If the power of long-range shooting is difficult to unleash, then this battle is indeed difficult to fight.
"Prepare for the onslaught! Ranger units are free to pick and shoot at their targets! ”
Corcello could only give such an order, hoping that the elite rangers could shoot more opportunities to shoot arrows before the impact of the demons arrived in the case of free shooting, so as to reduce the number of demons as much as possible and reduce the impact of demons.
But the bad news doesn't stop there. As the rangers fired a volley, they were loading their arrows before they could shoot a second round of arrows, when a screech came from the sky.
As soon as he looked up, Corsero saw a large number of demons flying out of the ruins of the buildings on the side of the street!
