Chapter 45: The Premeditated Decisive Battle (I)
To the northeast of the city of Laiming, near the Ming Plain, Prince Assis was standing on a high slope, accompanied by an adjutant, reviewing his army.
The white first sun had risen from the far east, and its light was gradually shining on the earth.
"There are still two hours until the time for the attack, Your Excellency Marshal." The adjutant's voice was very serious, but it was mixed with a trembling that was not easy to detect, a trembling that could not be stopped because of excitement.
Not only him, but almost all the soldiers were excited and honored by the war that was about to start to defend their homeland and country, and they were bound to deal a heavy blow to those devils.
"Very well, is our heavy artillery unit fully ready at the moment?" Yasis asked, standing with his back straight, with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, Your Excellency, just waiting for your order." The adjutant replied decently.
In any case, Yasis is the sole commander of the main force of this royal army, and he is also the strongest one.
Yasis walked back and forth on the high slope for a few steps, and suddenly as if he had thought of something, he asked the adjutant beside him, "What about the map I used to have?" Take it and I'll take a look. ”
Ten minutes later, the adjutant showed the map to Assis, and the prince began to look through it.
Yasis searched for the strange place he had seen before, an area in the eastern part of the city of Lymium.
Seeing that there was no longer a blue symbol there, Yasis couldn't help but frown.
According to what I saw before, the demon army should have set up some large-scale secret method here, thus destroying all the human armies here.
However, ordinary demons can't use a secret method of this scale, so it's likely that a certain high-level demon did it, no, it should be a few high-level demons......
After a long time, Assis handed the map to his lieutenant and motioned for him to take it back.
The adjutant trotted toward the camp, and Assis sighed slightly, things were more complicated than he expected.
It is impossible for high-level demons to appear in the demon army easily, even with such a rare large-scale invasion, but this time it can be regarded as a big surprise.
Why did those devils take this invasion so seriously? What kind of conspiracy are the demons hatching? Will this offensive turn the tide of the war as a whole?
Assis thought about it, but found that he could not find anything, and his former wisdom and courage seemed to disappear without a trace.
If only the magic team sent out before could bring back some useful information...... Yasis thought anxiously.
Yasis looked at the crystal watch on his wrist, there was still an hour before the start of the attack.
After pondering for a long time, Assis raised his head and looked at the city not far away, wisps of black smoke still rising.
The moment when the Hellfire is extinguished is the best time for the human legions to attack, which may be one of the reasons why Prince Asis has delayed his attack for so long.
However, as he looked into the city, Assis soon noticed something imperceptible.
With the perception of the Holy Star Demigod, almost nothing could escape his perception, but after perceiving certain information, it brought only a lot of shock to Yassi.
In Dongcheng District, not far from here, there seems to be some kind of extremely faint distress signal, and ...... It's familiar.
That's the magic squad's distress signal! Even if he was as calm as Yasis, he couldn't help but start to get excited at this time.
If they can be rescued, then they will definitely bring back a lot of useful information, which will speed up the progress of recovering the city of Laiming.
Although the attack was still an hour away, Yasis planned to send a small team to rescue them first.
If the magic squad is killed by a demon, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the human army, so be sure to save them.
Thinking of this, Yasis walked briskly down the hill, and at this point he needed to immediately organize an elite army to rescue the magic team trapped in the city.
......
In the western part of Laiming City, Bai Xuanyi, Elenos and Huang Yao were looking for the traces of Xu Mingjian and his party.
"When will we be able to enter the second phase?" Bai Xuanyi, who lowered his head, muttered.
"Phase two?" Huang Yao next to him said, "Is it the second stage of this assessment of the Thousand Curtain Academy?" ”
"Yes, that's it!" Bai Xuanyi raised his head and looked at Huang Yao with shining eyes, "I think now we can have the qualifications to enter the second stage." ”
Huang Yao looked at her expressionlessly, and turned his head to stare at the ruins that were plummeting black smoke.
"That's impossible, you're not recognizing an obvious fact." Huang Yao said lightly.
"What facts?"
"This so-called freshman training is actually an action of compulsory military service." Huang Yao said.
"It's just for the students to act as troops to resist the invasion of the demon legion, and there is no point in any 'second stage'."
Bai Xuanyi bowed her head and remained silent, as if she was thinking about what Huang Yao said, even if she didn't want to admit the fact.
How is Xiao Yu...... Is Kino alright...... Will I ever be able to go back and see them again......
"Stop being stupid, stop!" Huang Yao blocked Bai Xuanyi who was moving forward with her hand, causing her to raise her head, but she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
Everything in front of it seemed to be dyed red, obscured by a terrifying crimson mist, and it looked extraordinarily permeable and eerie.
"What is that red mist...... Bai Xuanyi couldn't help but ask, "I feel a ...... Very uncomfortable feeling......"
"It doesn't feel good, let's hide for a while and see what's in there." Huang Yao took Bai Xuanyi's hand.
Bai Xuanyi did not reject Huang Yao's movements, and followed her into a dilapidated small shop, while Arenas observed the situation outside.
"Can you see what's in that red mist?" Bai Xuanyi asked Huang Yao curiously, "That red mist seems to contain extremely strong magical power, and I can't see anything inside. ”
"I can't see clearly, but for certain things......" Huang Yao stood in front of the hollow in the wall, looking at the approaching red mist, "My perception is absolutely accurate. ”
"Oh...... So......" "There are very unusual demons in that fog. ”
"Uh..... Yes? Bai Xuanyi, who didn't react, touched the back of his head, "An unusual demon? What's not ordinary? ”
Huang Yao turned his head and looked at Bai Xuanyi solemnly, "Because it has the aura of a human being. ”
"How is it possible......" Bai Xuanyi said in disbelief, "how could such a thing happen?" ”
"I don't know yet, but ......," Huang Yao said confidently, "we can find out when it comes." ”
The crimson blood mist walked through every corner of the city of Laiming like a steamroller in a gaseous state.
The places where the red mist passed through seemed to be dyed the same red, but it seemed to be more than just dyeing.
There were about five or six batwinged female demons holding mysterious red orbs in their arms, walking together in this red mist.
The form of these female demons is very seductive, and their dark skin and hot bodies with little clothing can arouse the interest of a considerable number of men.
Soon, the red mist approached where Huang Yao and Bai Xuanyi were, and Arenas stood on top of the ruins, ready to act.
"Are you afraid?" Huang Yao asked teasingly, a pair of beautiful green eyes looking back and forth at the white-haired girl in front of him.
"What are you afraid of, isn't there still you?" Bai Xuanyi looked at her speechlessly, while Huang Yao took her hand again.
The two saw the opportunity and escaped together into the red mist that had arrived.
Bai Xuanyi injected the magic of light into his eyes, and the originally vague red scene instantly became clear.
"Do you need me to give you some too?" Bai Xuanyi looked at Huang Yao beside him and asked.
Huang Yao didn't answer, but just stretched out a finger and pointed in the direction of Bai Xuanyi's left.
Bai Xuanyi looked towards the place she was pointing, and was very surprised when she saw those female demons.
"Are those demons too?" Bai Xuanyi exclaimed, "Why does it look so human?" ”
"The demons that can appear in human form are basically only high-level demons, but ......" Huang Yao pulled Bai Xuanyi and slowly approached the female demon over there, "There are also some outliers. ”
"It's the gang dressed like prostitutes...... Female demons? Bai Xuanyi stretched out his hand and pointed at the female demons in disbelief and said. "Let them hear what you say, don't ......fight hard with you," Huang Yao glanced at her, "The demons that can turn into human form all have a certain status, and their strength and intelligence are also above those of other demons. ”
"Really...... What is it that they are holding? Bai Xuanyi saw the red ball in the female demon's arms.
"I don't know, but the demon with a human breath I mentioned earlier ......," Huang Yao frowned, "It should have come from there." ”
"I see...... Bai Xuanyi and Huang Yao approached the female demon further, "Could it be a human in the red ball?" ”
"That's how it should be." Huang Yao has prepared a green energy cannon, "But what kind of spell it is, it's not clear for the time being......"
Bai Xuanyi understood what she wanted to express, and comprehended, and also summoned the silver-white spear and clenched it in her hand.
Almost at the same time, the two of them together sent a fatal blow to the female demons in front of them, even if these female demons really had the power to surpass ordinary demons, they would inevitably be reduced to ashes under their attacks.
But at the same time, the two of them were dumbfounded by what happened next.
The attack hit the witch...... And the female demon disappeared like a mirage?!
"It's just a phantom...... Huang Yao muttered.
