Chapter 36: The Beginning of the War
The demons lit up the coastline for three nights, and the trees that grew along the edge of the coast were cut down by them until only a bare pile remained.
The large number of ferries that followed was also beginning to see a large number of ferries, full of docked in the shallows, and there were even demons sailing to provoke, but they were only limited to provocations, and they would not be close to the range of Revornor archers at all.
Revorno's side was also very calm in the face of provocations, did not reveal the distribution of troops, and still hid in the dense forest near the beach, closely observing the enemy's movements.
The estimated time has passed, and the demon side has not yet launched an attack, and is still leisurely near the camp, without the slightest tension before the big battle.
All the Revornor on the island had been dormant for almost seven days, and the war was delayed, their patience and confidence had been exhausted, and even negativity had appeared.
At the sentry post at the top of the island, Zack sent the sentries away to observe the enemy situation along the coastline with Jue.
It's daylight, and all the demons are hiding in the camp deep in the forest, and the other side is as calm as if the years are quiet and the waves are calm.
At night, it was a different scene, thousands of demons swarmed out of the forest like a black wave, and began to continue to cut down and build ships, as if there would never be enough ships to build.
"When will this demon attack on earth?"
After waiting for a few days and still seeing no movement, Zach couldn't help but start to get anxious no matter how calm he was.
"They seem to be waiting." Jue's worries surged from between his eyebrows, staring at the other side that was still calm for the time being, "I'm waiting for a signal or...... Opportunity. ”
"You're saying that they didn't attack for a long time?"
Zack's eyes roamed back and forth between Jue and the other side, and he suddenly began to regret that he had not fully adopted Han Qingluo's "empty city plan" strategy at that time, and if he had evacuated the island a few days earlier, he would not have fallen into a situation of passive waiting.
Jue also shook his head uncertainly: "Step up the sentinels, all the actions of the demons show that they have other plans." ”
Zack sighed helplessly, for now, he can only strengthen his vigilance as usual according to Jue's words, and now he can't evacuate the island, let it be!
The next morning, a large white fog rose near the island, and the low-hanging dark clouds made the sky dark and hazy, completely blocking the sunlight.
As time passed, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the entire island seemed to be in a white otherworld, completely cut off from all perception of the outside world.
This unusual weather alerted Revornor on the island, and the tension was dispelled by the tension, and all the sentinels were sent more manpower.
Especially the beach, it is the first landing point, if the demons want to attack on a large scale, they can only go ashore from there, how can the demons easily let go of such a rare time?
As expected, the demons did send many ships through the layers of fog towards the beach.
The silence of the white fog and the sound of oars plucking the sea soon reached the ears of the archers stationed on the beach.
At this time, Zack, who had already received the news from the sentry, was already fully armed and guarding the first line with the archers, waiting for the appearance of the enemy.
Even if the foggy weather obscures the field of vision and gives the demons a chance, but in the face of many arrow rains, how easy is it for the demons to seize the beach?
The eyes of all the archers were fixed on the white mist on the seashore, and the bows and arrows in their hands were ready to be fired, just waiting for the patriarch to give an order.
Zack, as the commander, naturally tightened a string, judging the distance of the enemy according to the sound of the water, as the sound of the water gradually approached, there were dark shadows faintly appearing in the white fog - the demons are coming!
The range seems to have been reached.
"Shoot the arrows!" Zach gave the order and resolutely launched an attack on the enemy.
Suddenly, one arrow after another roared like a torrential rain towards the black shadows in the white mist, and after a while, the sound of "click" broke one after another.
Under the rain of arrows, it can be determined that most of the enemy ships have been attacked, based on the intensity of the breach.
The rain of arrows lasted only three rounds, and Zach raised his hand to signal to stop the attack.
In the white mist, the sea surface where there was still the sound of paddles before temporarily returned to calm, and the first beach grabbing from the demons seemed to have been successfully intercepted by their rain of arrows!
All Revorno's faces were joyful, his confidence increased a hundredfold, and he repelled the enemy so easily, everyone's nervousness turned into disdain and arrogance, it turned out that the demons were so vulnerable!
The sea level returned to calm, but in the thick fog there was a faint black shadow, as if pushed by the waves, swaying in the direction of the beach.
Zach watched for a moment to make sure there was no danger before asking his people to go and check it out, only to see that they had dragged up a boat full of arrows from Revorno.
A clansman ran up to him with a panicked face and said a few words, and Zack's relaxed expression suddenly darkened.
Coming to the ship, Zach looked at the hull full of arrows in disbelief, it was empty, and there was no trace of the enemy, even if it was explained that the arrow jumped into the sea to escape, it should leave a little blood to be normal.
However, the hull of this ship, full of arrows inside and out, almost could be called a hedgehog, but there was no trace of the enemy.
Could it be that these empty ships are a bluff on the part of the enemy to deliberately deplete their weapons resources?
Don't think much about it, the sound of the urging stroke sounded on the sea again, and the enemy attacked again!
With the experience of the past, Zach became more cautious, although he suspected that this time the beach robbery was the same as the last time, but the demon clan was cunning and treacherous, and he only ordered two rounds of arrow rain.
And let a sentry send a message, and ask the tribesmen stationed in other locations to mobilize some of them to support on the beach, because he has a hunch that the demons are deliberately trying to consume their weapons and patience.
In the midst of the bluff, I don't know when a large-scale beach rush will really be launched, and with this archer, it will be difficult to prevent the enemy from coming ashore.
The news of the dispatch soon reached Jue's ears, and he decisively vetoed Zack's approach and asked the sentry to pass the word.
Beach side.
The sentry looked at Zack with an embarrassed expression, and told the patriarch exactly what Jue had asked him to pass on: "According to the original plan, you can't change the deployment of troops without authorization." ”
When these words came out of the sentry's mouth, there was an extra smell of command.
Zack was put on a position by the enemy, and he was already in a bad mood, and as the supreme commander, even the dispatch had to be vetoed, and his restless heart instantly caused a latent anger to explode.
He yelled and told the sentries to contact the captain in charge of the various parts of the army to come to him, and Mar, Edward, and Eli received the news and left their posts and came to the beach to be sent by the patriarch.
Jue, who heard the news, was naturally angry, and took Sevi and Yuke to the beach to stop Zack's recklessness.
Jue and the others happened to intercept the three Revornos who were about to receive the order to be dispatched.
"You can't mobilize anyone, this will give the demons a chance!"
Jue motioned for Servi and them to stop Edward and his party, and said in a deep tone that could not be denied.
As soon as Edward and the others saw Jue's attitude so hard, they also wavered, and with the forced retention of Sevi and them, it was not difficult to leave, nor was it to retreat.
Not far away, Zack saw his people being intercepted by Jue's unauthorized initiative, and came to them in person in a rage.
Jue naturally sensed his existence, and stopped him one step ahead, his voice was cold: "You can't destroy the original plan, this is all agreed before!" ”
Zack didn't want to fall out with Jue, so he simply played tricks and ignored Jue, and went straight past Jue's solemn gaze and shouted at the three Edwards: "Who is your patriarch?" ”
"This ......"
Edward, Maar, and Eli looked at each other, not knowing what to do, unable to walk, so they could only be stopped by the Sevies, and they were consumed in place.
At the same time, Elder Mallor, who rushed to hear the noise, also joined in the persuasion.
"Zack, there is no big movement from the demon clan at the moment, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to rashly mobilize people!"
But Zack became stubborn, and ignored the elder's persuasion: "If you really wait for the demon clan to attack, can you still remedy it?" I'm precautionary! ”
"Lord Jue, this ......"
Malor also felt very helpless, and now that Zach is the patriarch and is loved by the clan, his heart is naturally high.
Now, when it was his turn to make a decision, he was obstructed and vetoed in every way, and in order to maintain the dignity of the head of the clan, he categorically refused to back down.
Just when they were arguing, the third wave of the demon clan's attack came again, this time there were more black shadows in the mist, gathered like a giant monster derived from the mist, and the momentum was terrifying!
The archers only shot a rain of arrows under the command of Zack, thinking that this was another bluff, but unexpectedly, after the rain of arrows, in the thick fog, there was the sound of demons wading through the water.
Zach immediately panicked and shouted, "Keep releasing the arrows!" He drew the weapon at his waist and shouted at the three Edwards, "Why are you still staying here, go and send people to support!" ”
Hearing the roar, the three Edwards didn't even have time to reply, so they ran away.
And Sevi and his entourage, who intercepted them, also let them go under Jue's helpless bow.
In just an instant, the figures of the demons flashed sporadically in the dense fog, except for the archers, on the beach, Jue and his party all drew their weapons and prepared to fight.
At this time, reinforcements were also on their way, but it was already too late.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
In the rain of arrows, the figures of the demons who tried to land on the beach fell one after another.
There were also a few sporadic breakthroughs that succeeded in coming to the Bund, but they couldn't escape Sevi's arrows with a cold glow, and they were shot and killed from a distance.
The momentum of the demon race this time seems to be really moving.
Just as they were defending against the demon landing, reinforcements soon arrived on the beach.
The appearance of reinforcements made Zach seem to see hope, and hurriedly came to the team, so that all parts were ready, and gave the upcoming demon brigade a biggest illusion party.
Just when the whole Revornor clan was waiting for them, the attack of the demon clan showed signs of retreating.
"What's going on?"
The people who came in for reinforcements raised their voices in doubt.
Even Zach couldn't help but be confused, what was the purpose of this demon?
At that moment, a cold voice resounded throughout the beach......
