Chapter 572: Engagement

The demons came quickly, and not long after Bergard released the wolf smoke, the first demons appeared on the distant horizon.

Under the orders of the officers, the soldiers who had not yet rested began to line up again, ready to meet the battle.

Although there are many of them, Diego discovers that not all of these demons are powerful races such as Doom Guardians and Demon Guardians, and there are also many cannon fodder such as Burning Imps, Cerberus, Void Walkers, Ganer, and Evil Orcs.

This discovery made Diego somewhat relieved, if he came to the Doom Guard or the Dreadlord of the four legions, it really didn't need to fight, and it would definitely be bulldozed by a wave.

After a few days of bloody fighting, even the most timid soldiers of the Moon Creek Brigade had become accustomed to combat, and they gnawed on the hard dried flesh while counting the types of demons that were pressing towards them, trying to tell how many kinds of these colorful and strange-shaped monsters there were.

It's hard - even the most knowledgeable warlocks don't dare boast that they can recognize all the demons. Because just looking like a shadow, there are as many as eight or nine kinds of Void Walkers who can't see their faces at all. Warlocks can generally distinguish the normal ones - pink-purple secondary Void Walkers, blue Void Walkers, purple large Void Walkers, and red Void Walker Elders, but in addition to this, there are many mutated and twisted varieties, such as Void Summoners, Void Screamers, Void Ghosts, Node Dreads, and powerful Void Lords, and in legends, there is a presence close to a god at the very top of this kind of demonic creature - Entropy Demon! But who can tell what each of them looks like?

"What's that little dwarf with big feet and a swollen, deformed left hand?" Halfway up the mountain, the gnoll shaman Van Goray pointed at the rushing demons, then grinned at Edith Blom, who was glaring at him, "I'm sorry, Blom, I'm not talking about you, you dwarves are so much more handsome than this disgusting little thing!" ”

"That's Ganerga, they're the engineers of the demons!" Blom said sullenly, as an old dwarf mercenary who had traveled from north to south, his knowledge was as long as his beard.

"Engineer? Shouldn't they be left behind like our gnome technicians? ”

"Hell, how do I know this? These brainless demons have never been normal! Brom said angrily.

He is right, Ganerge is an incomplete Morgar demon, they are the engineers of the Burning Legion, these little demons are intelligent and reactive, and they are constantly creating all kinds of new (brain) strange (hole) unique (big) special (open) inventions, promoting the development of evil energy technology, such as the powerful evil energy cannon and magic energy mecha are their works. But such a valuable scientific and technological talent is not appreciated in the eyes of demon commanders who are all muscles in their heads, and these deformed little demons with weak bodies are even less of a higher status than the strong Doom Guards, and when they need to charge, these commanders will often wave their hands and send them as cannon fodder. Especially now, a large number of magic cannons have not yet had time to be teleported to Azeroth, and there are no cannons. Exercise. The Ganergars are even more dispensable!

Just as the demons rushed to a distance of one or two hundred meters from the foot of the mountain, gunshots rang out, and Diego, who was lying on the top of the mountain, opened fire. Instead of hitting the flaming imps and hellhounds that rushed to the front, he aimed at the demonic officers.

The first to fall was a Dreaddemon. The tall demon wielded a heavy decapitating sword in his hand, driving away the demons under his command with great force, completely unaware that he had been targeted by death. While the bullets were whizzing, the unlucky guy was still kicking a Cerberus fart. shares, want to make it rush faster!

Diego used ordinary bullets, such a small character, it was not worth using special bullets containing the power of the five-colored dragon, and he did not even infuse the bullets with the power of holy light. The bullet the thickness of a carrot struck the Dreadnosaur's head, shattering the entire demon's skull.

With the sound of the gunshot, the dwarven cannons also began to roar, and the cannonballs exploded among the tides of demons, exploding a wave of blood. Then came the ballistas and archers, their arrows piercing the sky and raining down on the demons, reaping their lives.

While these sharp ranged attacks inflicted a lot of damage on the demons, the pain and bleeding also completely aroused the ferocity of the demons, and they rushed even harder, almost almost before the archers fired the third wave of arrows, the Cerberus at the front had already crashed into the human position.

Although the sharp stakes in front of the position can somewhat delay the enemy, these are not a problem for the nimble Cerberus, who nimbly jump from stake to stake and pounce almost instantaneously.

With a loud thud, the Cerberus slammed into the front shield wall, and in the past, these monsters had always been good at causing chaos and bleeding with their claws and fangs, but this time, their invincible weapon was completely ineffective. In front of the tight shield array of the Moon Creek Brigade, their bites did not play any role, and they could not even leave a white mark on the steel shield, but the spears that poked out from the gaps in the shields caused them a lot of damage.

But just as Cerberus was almost slaughtered, the other demons finally rushed up.

The first to fall was the fireball thrown by the burning imps, and although their range was short, they could still cover the front of the human array through the sparse deer. Although the fireballs condensed by these imps with their innate spells were not as powerful as the fireball techniques of human mages, nearly a hundred small fireballs smashed down overwhelmingly, still blowing up several gaps in the shield wall.

Before the human soldiers in the second row could close the gap, the swarming demons poured into the gap like a flood that burst the embankment!

The scuffle has begun! The powerful individual combat power of the demons was brought into play at this moment, and the Doomsday Guardians and Dreaddemons, as well as the Demon Guardians, wielded huge weapons to strangle among the humans, like giant meat grinders, creating death and chaos.

But the defenses of the Moon Creek Brigade did not collapse as a result, and with the orders of Bogard, the mixed companies of various races of the Dwarf Blom were thrown into battle. At the forefront were the sturdy Minotaur Infantry—the only class of the Moonstream Brigade that could rival the Demon Guardians in size and strength—wielding heavy two-handed tomahawks and maces, ping-pong with the demons.

Relying on their support, the Moon Creek Brigade once again regrouped and saved the situation again. At this moment, Diego's mage advisors and mage apprentices finally joined the battle, and although they were trembling by the bloody battlefield and the flames of war, they still condensed a few ice arrows and ice spears and threw them into the densest demons. In contrast, the gnoll shaman Van Gogh and his two apprentices were much braver, fighting the demons with their maces in their hands, and occasionally unleashing a chain or two of lightning that made the demons tremble and their manes stand on end. Fan Golei even stuck his only two totem poles on the ground, using the Fountain of Life totem to heal nearby companions, while also delaying the enemy's movement with the totem of the totem.

At the front of the battlefield, humans and demons fought frantically together, wielding weapons one after another, human shouts and demon roars mixed together, like a landslide and tsunami, every moment people shed blood and people died.

Under the impact of the demons, the Moon Creek Brigade paid a lot of casualties, but it still didn't retreat a single step and survived. The current situation is very favorable for them, after entering the stalemate, the advantage of human beings in long-range firepower has been fully exerted, crossbow arrows, sharp arrows, throwing spears, like a torrential rain constantly pouring towards the demons, almost completely blocking their follow-up forces, in just half an hour, the first half of the demon army to rush up is almost wiped out.

At the top of the hillside, however, Diego was always frowning. He raised his head from the scope and looked into the distance—their enemies were not only this half of the demon army, and the Moon Creek Brigade couldn't afford to consume them!
