Turning Back Valley – A nondescript valley name placed on the map of Broken Ridge.

If Shen Yan hadn't gotten the battle plan that Michelle had gotten, he would definitely not have imagined that this remote location deep into the Broken Ridge would actually be the core of this outpost battle. But the plan only mentions the destination, not what the emperor wants to do there......

Ying Blowing Siting.

You must know that Michelle got the emperor's "private secrets", similar to diaries and the like. This plan can't even be written in a diary, and it's obviously a big problem.

In this Demon Tide War, the empire and the feudal kingdoms and autonomous tribes jointly dispatched a total of 170,000 regular troops, and more than 100,000 conscripts - from a variety of sources, including roadside catches like Shen Yan and large mercenary groups that made a living in the fortress. Others like conscripts, homeless people, vagrants, criminals, sub-races who have lost their clans, and so on.

Because lizardmen reproduce the fastest, and the tribe lacks sufficient land, the subspecies are especially dominated by lizardmen. The Empire has been conducting emergency training for these people, and the ordnance supply is equivalent to that of the third-class legion, which already has some combat effectiveness. On the day Shen Yan entered the city, it was also the time to officially divide the troops. The 100,000 regular army and tens of thousands of militia (Shen Yan was captured) were used to defend the city, and 70,000 regular army corps and 50,000 specially selected conscripts left the city.

The one who went out of the city to snipe the spider demon in the first round of the demon tide was actually 10,000 regular troops with 40,000 conscripts...... Hardly anyone in this group will survive. Obviously, in addition to the 10,000 regular army, the empire does not need to bear the burden of additional pensions......

The remaining 50,000 Guards legions in the army leaving the city will not be wasted in this kind of war of attrition - they will take the remaining militia to ambush and detour in advance to annihilate the small demon legions; When the tide reaches its climax, they are responsible for attacking the flanks, cutting off supplies (if any), and burning siege weapons; When the tide is nearing its end, appear behind the demon army if necessary, do a critical blow, and so on.

It can be said that this part of the mobile corps is responsible for a variety of combat missions, and it is up to the commander to judge what to implement - anyway, for a hundred years, the literature on the offensive and defensive battles of the Bronze Fortress can be piled up in several large warehouses - and the Constance family can responsibly tell you that there are no unconventional tactics anymore.

The last remaining 10,000 men were half heavy cavalry and half heavy infantry.

This is the true essence of the Empire, the Royal Legion, which is only in the hands of the Constance family! And only to the emperor to be allegiance! This part of the people always followed the emperor's maneuver and did not have a fixed combat mission. But in the previous Demon Tide battlefields, they will appear in the most dangerous positions, and there is no shortage of feats that have made a final decision!

Although history only records the name of Constance, history was not created by His Majesty the Emperor alone.

The battle plan that Shen Yan got and the information he collected along the way all showed:

Since 120,000 people left the city, 50,000 of them did leave according to the plan, with logistics in the direction of the parallel city walls;

Jeremy Constance (Emperor) then led his 10,000 Royal Legions, 10,000 regular troops, and 40,000 militiamen into Shattered Ridge. He gave these people the task of sniping the first demons, in a ratio of one to eight...... That is to say, even if there are 10,000 regular troops, he will put half of them on the edge of the shovel-shaped plain. When he was really in charge of sniping, he was cannon fodder for each regular soldier with a squad of eight conscripts......

This proportion, a battle that should have been brought to a close conclusion, was made because of Jeremy Constance's solemn promise to everyone - "Hold on to the end, I'm ahead of you!" And to be able to persevere! The soldiers and militia who saw the dynasty go south, in order to ensure the emperor's retreat, all fought to the last moment!

It can only be said that it is a blessing for the wisdom of the people in this era...... In modern times, nine out of nine people should question it in their hearts, and it would be good to have one out of a hundred who truly believe it.

*****

Shattered Ridge is full of hordes of demons, spiders, three-headed dogs and other low-level demons. They roam aimlessly through the mountains, attacking any target they can see, filling their stomachs by the way.

Born from the chaos and evil of the abyss, demons are creatures that obey power and are born without knowing what discipline is. Even if a large number of Demon Overseers joined this time, they would only be able to roughly confine themselves...... As for those who don't even understand orders...... Then let it be.

"But isn't that density too much?" Looking at the demon man climbing the hill in Wuyang in the distance, Shen Yan really felt that if this was the case everywhere in Broken Ridge, then the Bronze Fortress might really be unable to hold it...... Isn't the number in the millions?!

"I still have to ask...... Left...... Why do we have to go to that valley? Penny said nervously as she pointed the way, although the two shared the same perception data, she had much more experience than Shen Yan, especially when dealing with abyssal creatures.

Shen Yan ran a few steps to the left and hid in the woods. Then a pack of Cerberus howled and ran after a rabbit to his right. Each dog has three heads, six rows of dangling teeth, and the little rabbit doesn't know if he will be frightened. However, the rabbit that can live in Broken Ridge is also considered fine, and it runs like a bolt of lightning!

"But stay in the fortress, you don't talk to me." Shen Yan is well versed in the way of moving.

"Hmph." There was a clear joy in his voice. "Speed up, we're coming, the ...... on the map ahead" The two of them were stunned together.

Shen Yan and Penny had always thought that the black in their field of vision was the top of a certain mountain—it wasn't until they got out of the woods and the black appeared in front of them that they realized that it was actually a dark cloud composed of demonic dragons and dinosaurs!

The Demon Wyvern is an abyssal version of the bipedal wyvern, covered in scales, and the most ferocious species of wurms; Moa is also a carnivorous bird, similar in size and taste...... But all the blind people you see in the Bronze Fortress are the work of moas!

This large dark cloud firmly envelops the valley below, and the number is not known in thousands, tens of thousands!

"Are you sure this is the Valley of the Return...... Are we going back? "Shen Yan has some magic and invisibility rings that are very helpful for stealth, plus Penny's rich experience. Even in the demonic Broken Ridge, he can come and go freely.

But what you see in front of you is different! This is already war!

A pale white light shield envelops the valley. And the demon army that can't see the end at a glance is blocking both ends of the valley!

The demons are crowding each other, and the demons behind are still being driven into the valley by the Overseers with whips, squeezing the valley more and more like canned sardines! The demon in front of the end will be "helpless" pushed into the mask by the demon behind it, looking like a dead ghost......

That layer of light shield could not block the demon from entering, but whether it was a demon or a demon wyvern, once they broke into the light mask, it was like being splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, and the surface began to melt rapidly...... But apparently it works best against the demons. Demon Wyverns could howl and burst into the light shield, and then fly out again and not long after, but there were thousands of them.

"Shen Yan, this is divine power, someone is using rituals or artifacts to transform the valley into a place of divine presence! As long as the chaotic evil creatures enter this valley, they will be stung by the divine power...... That's a lot of money! "Consuming an artifact, or magic materials equivalent to several times the value of an artifact, Internet companies are not as fast as it burns money!

"Let's go, Penny, let's go down, I can probably guess what His Majesty the Emperor wants to do." Shen Yan said with a serious expression. Just like Michelle said, the demon has never taken humans seriously, and has not taken it seriously as an opponent, Shen Yan trusts her judgment very much.

But the siege of the demon army he sees now, although it is still a mess in terms of discipline, there is a world of difference in seriousness! The hatred emanating from that army is real! The demon who is born chaotic and funny, what kind of opponent does he have to face before he can really get serious? Obviously, there is only the devil who has fought bloodily for thousands of years...... Shen Yan really hoped that Jeremy Constance would not be confused for a moment and summon the devil to this world.

Otherwise, Shen Yan can assert that this world is finished...... The Swan Continent will be dragged by demons and devils and fall into the abyss!

Shen Yan cast a spell to create Penny's clone, Penny shook her head, put on the vaporization ring and jumped directly into the valley below the cliff.
