The next afternoon.

"1,000 cavalry, 1,000 archers, 1,000 heavy armor, assembled!"

"500 cavalry, 500 warlocks, 2,000 heavy armor, 100 medics, assembled!"

"3,000 cavalry, 3,000 heavy armor, assembled!"

"3,000 light armor soldiers, 1,000 archers, assembled!"

"1,000 warlocks, 1,000 archers, 500 medics, assembled!"

"2,000 light armor soldiers, 2,000 archers, assembled!"

In an open clearing, one loud roar after another rang out. It was the rallying cry shouted by the armies of the six city-states as they assembled in the clearing.

The combined strength of the six city-states was close to 20,000 men, and these 20,000 men were neatly assembled in this open space according to their respective formations, which looked somewhat spectacular from a distance.

The lords of these six city-states had discussed all night yesterday, and today they had brought almost all of their troops from their respective territories. Of course, in order to prevent their territory from being attacked, they still kept a little army in their own city-state.

In fact, judging from the current level of human development in the Southern Continent, the combined strength of the six city-states is close to 20,000 is not much, and it can even be said to be a little little.

The total number of human beings in the Southern Continent is more than one million, and some of the more powerful city-states can casually take out tens of thousands of troops, but these six city-states can only come up with a few thousand each, which indeed shows that their strength is not strong.

However, unlike the central and eastern city-states of the Southern Continent, which mostly cover a large area and have a small overall number, the number of city-states in the west is quite large. However, none of the city-states in the west are too large, and apart from one city-state, the other strengths will not be particularly strong.

Because of this, the "interaction" between the city-states in the western part of the southern continent is more frequent, large and small wars often occur, and alliances between city-states are common. And these six city-states are an alliance.

Looking at the countless soldiers lined up in front of him, Gale showed a satisfied expression, but he didn't feel that the battle was stable because of this. His satisfaction was only that he was pleased that the other city-states had sent almost all of their troops.

Judging from the strength that Artevans has shown before, this strength of nearly 20,000 troops, the most optimistic estimate, can only be tied with Artevans.

Although the city-state lords of these six city-states thought that the strength of Artvance was comparable to that of the lord of Phorcher City, known as the Sword Emperor, they had not really seen the strength of the Sword Emperor, and they had only heard of it from the mouths of those who came from the central part of the country.

Therefore, for the specific strength estimate of Artevans, they themselves feel that it is not accurate.

Just as Gale was pondering how to use his existing forces to win as much as possible, a white-haired old man, who was also the city-state lord of one of the six city-states, stepped forward and said to Gail, "Gail, among us, you know the most tactics, so we can leave our forces at your disposal. Of course, a few of us will go with you.'"

"I see, I won't live up to everyone's expectations." Gail nodded firmly, in response.

"So, what are you going to do now?" The old man asked.

Faced with this question, Gail lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then he said slowly, "There is only one great road that leads to the city-state to the west, the one that can be seen from here. The city-state also had only two gates, east and west, and the other gate led in the direction of the mountain. In other words, it's almost impossible for us to launch a trap-and-fare attack.'

"I have sent someone to make a little investigation in the morning, and found that all the buildings in the city-state near the east, that is, in our direction, have disappeared, leaving only an open space, and the inquirers dare not go any further. I suspect that the man yesterday may have put his stronghold at the gate near the mountain, and if we were to take a trap, we would have to make a detour to our soldiers."

"However, I cannot guarantee that the perimeter of the city-state's walls will be safe, and our soldiers will most likely be in danger when they make their way around the western gates of that city. In order to avoid accidents, we can only set up a formation and launch a strong attack head-on."

"When the time comes, we'll have all the warlocks use their magic to bulldoze the walls around the city's eastern gates, so that our army can advance through them. The heavy armoured men were then in the front row, the archers were behind them, the warlocks and medics were at the end of the formation, the cavalry assaulted from the flanks, and the light armoured men followed. We have limited intelligence, and that's what I can think of right now.'"

With that, Gail looked a little apologetic, as if he wasn't too happy with his arrangement.

The old man patted Gale on the shoulder and said, "You've done your best, trust our soldiers, they're the elite of the city-state, aren't they?" I believe that this battle may not be as difficult as we imagined."

Hearing the old man's words, Gail took a deep breath and patted his face to cheer himself up, and his expression immediately became more determined.

Then, Gail took the Union flag handed over by the old man, held it high, and shouted to all the soldiers in front of him, "Everyone, let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, a deafening battle cry erupted from the scene, and an army of nearly 20,000 people began to march towards the city-state where the demon stronghold was located.

……

Behind a tree, Gust used the power of the Revenant to hide his form, silently watching what had just happened.

Gust had been temporarily resting in the woods next to the clearing, just to see what else Artevans could do. It was precisely because he did not enter any of the city-states that he was very lucky not to be discovered by Artefans.

"Boy, why don't you make it clear to the city-state lords that they think they're dealing with humans. That's how we set off, and it's a lot of bad luck." The old scholar didn't understand why Gerst knew about Artfans's strength but didn't tell the city-state lords about it, so he said this.

"According to the strength shown by that demon, this army is probably going to die." Ni Niang said calmly with a cigarette.

Gust's expression was similar to Ni Niang's, and he was also very calm, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't do anything about it, "Even if I really say it, they will definitely choose to send troops, and I may still encounter unnecessary trouble at that time." If they are willing to die, let them go.'"

With that, Gust turned and left.

Gerst had confirmed Artfans' intentions, and the first thing in front of him now was to bring the news of the appearance of the demons to the central part and to the city of Phorche as soon as possible. As long as the lords of Phorcher City believed Gerst's words, then the entire southern continent would know what they were up against.

Thinking of this, Gust couldn't help but speed up his pace......

——————————————

On the other side, inside the demon stronghold.

Just as Artevans closed his eyes and recuperated, Rusha suddenly appeared beside him. But seeing that Artevans was closing his eyes and recuperating, Rusha didn't know whether to disturb for a while, after all, this was a rare rest time for Artevans.

"Just say something, as long as it's important, you don't need to worry too much." Artevans also sensed Rusa's arrival, so he opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Rusa.

"The city-states have gathered about 20,000 troops and are heading here." Rusha nodded, and then reported what she had detected.

"It's faster than I expected...... Hearing this, Artevans instantly became energetic, "Then let's fight."

Atfans stood up and walked slowly out of the main hall. At the same time, he bit his finger, and the blood that flowed out seemed to be manipulated by an invisible force, condensing into a magical array that glowed red.

A second later, Lil's form appeared behind Artevans.

Liel bowed slightly to Atfans, and then said, "Master, please give the order."

"Those humans who don't know the height of the sky are coming, so come with me to fight." Artevans said, and he didn't look back, and walked straight out of the main hall.

"Understood." Lil responded respectfully and followed.

Seeing that Artevans and Lil had left the main hall, Rusa turned her gaze to the crystal ball on Artevans' desk.

Ai Rusha stretched out her hand and aimed it at the crystal ball, injecting some spiritual power. Subsequently, the crystal ball reflected the situation of the army of about 20,000 people.

By this time, an army of about 20,000 men had arrived at the gates of the city-state, and they were ready to destroy the walls near the east.

Rusa then said to Atvance, "Lord Attace, they want to destroy the walls so that the army can advance."

After all these hundred years, Rusha's work under Artfans was no longer mainly about fighting, but more about reconnaissance and assistance, and even dealing with various matters, unless she was forced to do so, and only when she was forced to do so. Now that Ai Rusha has all aspects of ability, in addition to her combat power, it is no exaggeration to say that she is fully qualified even if she replaces Artevans in the position of the demon king.

Artevans was quick to respond, "How is their formation?"

Ai Rusha hurriedly projected the picture of the crystal ball and observed it carefully.

Then she replied, "There is a group of heavily armored soldiers at the front, archers in the middle, magicians and ...... in the rear Medic, flank cavalry and light armour.

"Hmph, it's a very orthodox way of arranging troops, do you think you can't launch a pack, so you choose a frontal attack? But that's exactly what I want!' Hearing Rusa's report, Artevans sneered.

At this time, on the side of Artevans, he and Lil stood in the open space that had been cleared for the battlefield, quietly waiting for the arrival of the army of nearly 20,000 men.

"Soon, there will be a river of blood here......
