After a night of hard fighting, the elves managed to survive until dawn, but demons are not undead creatures, they are not afraid of the sun, on the contrary, the sun, which is warmer and more comfortable than the abyss, makes them instinctively feel joy and impulsiveness.

And since both demons and elves have night vision, there is no difference between darkness and day for both parties.

At dawn, the war in the capital of the moon wheel became more and more intense, and the defenders of the city who fought fiercely all night had to be reincarnated to rest, eat, and sleep, and high fatigue also represented high battle damage, but the demon ...... It was originally a one-time cannon fodder, but from the moment it was activated, life entered the countdown, and the number was almost endless, what was there to cherish.

The elves' supplies need logistical food, and the low-level cannon fodder on the demon side has lost their minds, and there is no concept of hunger at all, even if they are hungry, they can instinctively eat soil and gnaw trees, and the high-level demons are thirsty and hungry, just find a similar kind or opponent and stuff it into their mouths and chew two bites.

"Crunchy, chicken."

A war of attrition with the demonic army of the Abyss? Let those bastards with muscles in their heads know what consumption is, and no objective conditions can be an obstacle to them until they are completely destroyed.

After a long first night, the forests on the periphery of the Moon Ring Capital had turned into a corrupted wasteland, the gorgeous and sturdy outer walls were already full of mutilation, the smell of blood and sulfur in the air made people want to vomit, and the ground in the area near the city wall was all bright red, and the smell of blood was suffocating, which was the last remnants of countless demon war slaves who had reached the end of the world.

The losses of the elves were also heavy, the tree people suffered a big loss, the Silver Elf Knights, as one of the trump cards, lost one percent, and the abyss war slaves went to the city wall. The ordinary defenders fought them even more fiercely. Not to be swallowed alive by pistons. It was pulled into hell by self-explosion.

Since you can't beat melee combat, why don't you consume it from a distance? The elves did think so, and they did it, but it was very poorly effective.

The elven hand-to-hand warriors are agile, and when they are meat shields, they can only be considered third-rate, but they have always been proud of their ranger warbands, and few races have retained formed ranger warbands.

An agile, light body with a simple natural magic. Not only buff themselves but also recruit animal companions, the sharp arrows that suddenly attack out of nowhere are the nightmare of the opponents who invade the Ranger Realm, and they are simply invincible in jungle warfare and guerrilla warfare.

But this time, the elven rangers' proud archery skills meet the most inexplicable opponents.

Sharp arrows are indeed deadly to humanoids, and a mere piercing of vital points can take a life, but to giants, a human greatsword is just a toothpick. For the thick-skinned demons, if they can't find the devil's vital point. The elf's arrows are just uncomfortable hedgehog needles.

The devil's point? This is the highest secret of the demon itself, the evolution path of each demon is different, the body structure is different, the vital parts are naturally different, some have three hearts and two brains, and only one is the most important, all the others can regenerate, it makes no sense for you to attack that one, some simply grow important organs in the lower limbs, the head and body are just decorations, and the soles of the feet are the key points.

Agile warriors who take vital attacks as the core of their battles probably don't want to encounter opponents the last time they want to encounter are such almost non-vital creatures, but this is true of non-physical creatures such as elemental, demonic, and undead creatures, in this case, they are often inferior to the physically strong brute bulls.

It's just that these monsters have lost their sense of pain and consciousness, and the size is too big for ordinary interspersed injuries to be ineffective, and the brainless berserk state makes them have no concept of fear even if their heads are shot through, and under the accumulation of multiple factors, even if they are shot into arrow targets, they can't stop their steps.

In the past, in this case, enchanted moonlight arrows and explosive arrows could play a big role, but these enchanted and alchemy magic arrows were extremely expensive strategic resources, and it was a waste to use them on ordinary demons.

Eventually, the elves' proud ranger brigade became a spectator on the battlefield, and even forbade them to release arrows at will in order to avoid wasting precious arrows.

Melee losses were too heavy, ranged shooters were too ineffective, and in the end, the Moon Elves used their mage support.

One night, just one night, the elves were forced to use spellcasters and inventory mana pools, fireballs exploded outside the city walls, blizzards washed away the demons on the city walls, and one night of bitter fighting consumed more than 20% of the mana reserves of all mage towers!

It's not that the elves have fallen into a desperate situation, it just shows that their regular combat power is too much of a loss to the demon cannon fodder, and the massive first wave of the demon tide has forced them into the most headache-inducing war of attrition.

Today, between the outer and second walls, there is already a scene of howling and misery.

The wounded soldiers were carried off the city wall on stretchers, and those with few broken hands and feet were already considered lucky, and the healers were trying to rescue them from the line of death, the smell of blood, sweat, and sulfur mixed with everything, and the stench was disgusting, but at this time, it was the most picky and clean high-ranking elf in the past, and there was no room for disgust.

The Moon Elf Empress Efina looked at everything in front of her, her eyes full of sadness and sorrow, and the ministers around her were silent.

No one thought that in just one night, the outer city wall was almost lost, and when designing the Moon Ring Capital, the imaginary enemy considered was the human super empire to fight and fight for enough time to wait for the elves to rescue, but it turned out to be vulnerable in the face of the demon tide.

Thunderstorm defense array on the city walls...... Running out of energy.

The demonic vines that have been cultivated for a hundred years will strangle all the intruders....... they will be eaten by the demons.

Ranged support for powerful mage towers and game warbands...... Consumption is excessive and must be stopped.

Ancient war trees planted along the city walls...... The demon party said that eating a vegetarian diet occasionally is still good for the stomach.

The earth mage's blessing on the city wall repair...... The repair is not fast and the damage is not fast, and there are more than one or two earth mages who have been dragged out after running out of mana.

The air support of the Hippogriff, the Giant Eagle, and the Pegasus Knight...... In front of the endless cannon fodder array, there is no difference from the ground combat power, and occasionally two will be torn down by the abyss war slaves who are suddenly provoked.

No matter how delicate the defensive formations and traps are, there are limits. The demons don't need to find a way to crack it. A sufficient amount of cannon fodder can bulldoze everything. The elves of this generation have finally understood why their ancestors said that the first wave of magic could not be resisted at all.

The Berserk Abyss War Slave alone is not weak, even if he loses his mind, he has gained stronger strength, but such a warrior is flawed, given enough time and space, a silver-level warrior can defeat without injury, and when the number accumulates to almost infinity. When these "berserkers" appear on the battlefield where they can only advance but not retreat, they will naturally turn into flesh and blood harvesters...

"It seems that the city is broken, it seems that it is only a matter of time......."

Everyone has such doubts, but no one dares to say it, it seems that no matter what trump card the elves come up with, the opponent can solve the problem by directly pushing it with cannon fodder.

"Reinforcements, when will they ......"

Efina muttered in a daze, but no one dared to answer her, because all the reinforcements of the elves were here, and the only "reinforcements" were outside. There is something special about the identity.

In the end, the chief knight (general) of the silver elf, who had the most special identity, came out head-on.

"Your Majesty. The most recent contact was to say that it was the night after tomorrow at the earliest......"

"Didn't you say you could get there this afternoon?! Could it be that those bastards who are taking advantage of the fire are still planning to threaten us at this time? Those bastards, we all agreed to their shameless conditions, what more could they want! Don't...... Are they going to raise the price? These vile and shameless bastards..."

Among the elves, Efina is still a young man, but her noble blood and excellent political ability have made her quite famous, and now, her hysterical posture is really a bit detrimental to her former image.

"....... they say that the elemental tide has hit the floating battleship, and it will take time for the caster and equipment to adjust. Our mage said that this is indeed necessary preparation, and last night we had several mage towers that caused permanent damage, and two archmages died......"

The elves also knew what the consequences of forcibly ordering the mage to cast a spell would be, but they still gave a cruel order last night, after all, if the outer walls were lost on the first night, the morale would be too heavy.

Maybe there were outsiders, or maybe the screams released too heavy pressure, and then Efina's expression calmed down a lot.

"....... ask them to support as soon as possible, we ...... We will continue to make concessions....... for a day, no, for half a day. ”

The heavy words were full of unwillingness, no one expected that things would happen to this step, but this heavy reality hit the self-confidence of the elves hard, and the secret self-confidence of "we will definitely be able to defeat the demon tide, maybe we can counterattack the abyss" before the war, finally came to naught.

"We ...... We can't stop the tide alone..."

Well, finally starting to admit that I can't handle it.

In fact, due to the information asymmetry in various parts of the mainland, this kind of self-confidence that seems incredible is very common, no matter how powerful other people's legions sound, they are also other people's families, and they are also impractical paper tigers.

Some of them are false because of propaganda and espionage work, and some of them tell lies that give the people confidence, and even the leaders themselves believe them.

"Even if the enemy is indeed stronger than us, our warriors are not vegetarians, and they may be able to win!"

Not to mention, this kind of stupid behavior runs through countless battlefields, and often in a fight, this secret self-confidence will disappear without a trace.

Making a "concession" now is equivalent to making the other lion open his mouth, at least, the "orthodoxy" of the elven empire of the moon wheel will definitely not be able to be kept.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty! The ideals of the ancestors, the ambitions of the gods! They won't want to see that! ”

"No, Your Majesty, no!"

The ministers began to show their loyalty, and some of the senators even glared at their empress, as if they had seen unscrupulous descendants sell their family property...... But in fact, most people are smiling in their hearts, and finally someone is taking the blame.

Anyway, for them, it is to change the support of the empress, and this ending is acceptable, and Effina herself, nine out of nine, will become a sacrifice for the change of times.

In fact, when she decided to migrate, she was already destined to become a sinner in the Moon Elf Empire.

"No, our nation has finally shaken off its shackles, and there is no need to wag its tail and beg for mercy from the remnants of the old era!"

Suddenly, a majestic voice interrupted the discussion of the elves, and when they looked up, it was a vague figure in a silver robe, with a halo surrounding its back, and the holy appearance was simply the incarnation of a god.

And around him, one by one, the dimensional gates leading to the upper plane opened, and the celestial envoys, elves and heroic spirits, and divine beasts entwined with starlight walked out of them one by one.

The elven gods intervened......

On the floating battleship, I had a casual conversation with Heloise about the situation.

"With the elven gods here, they shouldn't die too quickly, at least they can hold out until we arrive."

"....... I'm worried that the elven gods will interfere, and maybe they will die faster, you see, the elven gods have made a move, can Danatis still be lazy? That's seventy percent of the people who die faster, right? ”

And the fact is expected, when the figure of light appeared, the black giant was able to stand up straight, picked up the obsidian greatsword stained with divine blood, and finally, there was a worthy prey. (To be continued......)
