Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Sea of Blood on Number Seven
The combined forces of the Kingdom of Aldesia and the Duchy of Kelzenos crossed the valley without enemies and headed straight for the town of Ars. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And on the periphery of Ars Town, the Demon King Army was closely changing defenses at this time.
On the way to Sailal, there was a coalition army, which the spies of the Demon King Army had already reported back. For such news, Barnaby, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front of the Demon King Army, was surprised, and had to hurriedly start to send troops back to help Seral.
And considering that the spies reported that the army that went to fight Sellar was under the banner of the Holy Lukia Kingdom, it was impossible to send a few second- and third-rate troops on the fringes to deal with it, and it was necessary to ensure that there was a certain number of main forces. It's just that the main force of the Demon King Army is basically arranged in the key position of the encirclement, so after some transfer, the rest of the army's encirclement of Ars Town has to be rearranged.
After all, the Salvation Army is powerful, and if it relaxes, it may be able to escape.
In fact, while they were hastily rearranging their defenses, the Salvation Army was already seizing the opportunity to attack outward, which made the Demon King Army feel very uncomfortable. The innermost troops of the encirclement had to go to meet the Salvation Army, which slowed down their change of guards.
In addition, there is another thing pressing on Barnaby's heart. Amos' regular contact hasn't been seen for two days, possibly due to an accident. He had sent a force to track Amos's whereabouts, but so far nothing had been reported.
If there is an accident on Amos's side, or even a failure......
ElBaradei couldn't imagine that.
The only good thing is that the army in charge of the ambush reported that they had repelled the Aldesian army and that there was no need to worry about reinforcements coming. The two men named Cosimo and Elkle, who later joined the Demon King's army, still had two brushes.
It's just that if you deal with the Salvation Army, the remaining 20,000 Demon King Army can hold on. The Salvation Army had no logistical support in the small town of Ars, and as long as the siege continued like this, the Salvation Army would eventually be defeated due to a shortage of food and equipment.
While Barnaby was sitting in the big tent thinking about these things, suddenly the herald hurriedly ran in, his face pale: "Lord Barnaby, there are reinforcements from the coalition army coming over from the valley!" ”
Barnaby Huoran got up: "What? How can it be? Didn't you say that you had already retreated? ”
The herald's face was pale: "The subordinates don't know the situation, but there is already a fight over there, please go out and preside over the overall situation, general!" ”
Barnaby hurriedly rushed out, only to see that there had indeed been a fight in the direction of Taniguchi, and the flag of the Kingdom of Aldesia was flying high, as if to mock his previous self-righteousness.
At the same time, the Salvation Army trapped in the small town of Ars seemed to see the arrival of reinforcements, and the motivation was more sufficient, and they desperately fought out under the call of victory, almost unable to resist.
"What about the two men?" Barnaby drank. "What about Cosimo and Elclair? Didn't they swear that it was okay? How so? ”
Cosimo and Elcle are naturally the pseudonyms of Seven and Bloodknife, the two of them joined the Demon King's Army in Zohar, and mixed into the Western Front Coalition to give advice to Barnaby and others, and also contributed greatly to Amos's strategy to go north before, and successfully won Barnaby's trust, and this time he was responsible for blocking the reinforcements.
Now that the reinforcements have come smoothly, he naturally has to hold these two people accountable.
"We've been tricked." Number Seven suddenly appeared beside her, and said with a somewhat pale face, "We did repel a wave of troops, but now it seems that it is not the main force of the Kingdom of Aldesia at all, but an army that they have put together at random, just to make us let our guard down." ”
"You mean ......"
"They prepared a cannon fodder to pretend to be the main force for us to defeat, and then used the main force to kill us while we were relaxed. We've all been fooled. ”
"It's so cunning...... It's no wonder you, I'm afraid I'll be fooled if I change it. After hearing this, Barnaby said magnanimously, "So what now?" ”
"The mobilization of all forces was divided into two parts, one for the reinforcements and the other for the Salvation Army. Elcle and I will go to fight the reinforcements, and use the strength of the two of us to buy you time. Seven said without hesitation.
"The strength of the two of you? Do you two have any strength? Barnaby asked a little confusedly, he didn't remember that these two people had any good performance on the battlefield after joining the army, it was okay to deal with ordinary people, but not when it was against elves, how could it be possible to stop the reinforcements who must have brought a large number of elven envoys?
"So far, in order to avoid suspicion, neither of us has shown anything, but now I'm afraid we can't hide it, I just hope that after you see us make a move, don't think that we have other purposes for the Demon King Army."
After the seventh finished speaking, the people disappeared for a moment. Almost in the blink of an eye, the front line of the battle between the reinforcements and the Demon King Army was flooded with a wave of blood.
Is that what he's capable of? Barnaby was shaken hard. Although I don't know what the blood wave is for, it is definitely not easy to get along with in appearance.
Could it be that there are two male elves again? I don't know what the relationship is with His Majesty the Demon King...... But he was right, now he can only intercept the Holy Maiden's Salvation Army and intercept the reinforcements, as long as the two armies do not merge, even if the Salvation Army takes the opportunity to escape east from the town of Ars, it doesn't matter, to the east is the territory of the Demon King's army, they can always be caught again.
Barnaby judged that he was ready, and began to give hasty orders to mobilize the surrounding forces to concentrate on the west side of the town of Ars.
――――――――――――――――――――
The allied forces of the two countries crashed into the Demon King's defense line on the outskirts of Ars Town with a fierce tiger descending from the mountain. The Demon King's Army is on the way to change its defense, and most of the troops are not in the original defensive line, so there is no better time for the Kingdom Army. Under the command and shouts of Duke Elstein, the coalition forces were overwhelmed and quickly broke through the outermost two lines of defense.
However, in the third line of defence, they encountered strong resistance. Seven set off a large sea of blood there, which seemed to be nothing for the Demon King soldiers, but it could seriously hinder the movements of the coalition soldiers.
"Elven envoy, deal with that elf magic!" Duke Elsstein ordered unceremoniously.
"That ordinary elf can't deal with it, so leave it to us here." Li Qinglan and Lin Yuedong passed by him and left such a sentence.
Then the two rushed to the front line of the battle between the two armies before the sea of blood.
"Don't make a move on the side first, you can't intervene in this battle yet, and it should be a rising experience to observe it." Li Qinglan commanded.
"Yes." Lin Yuedong is very self-aware, No. 7 threw out such a large sea of blood, obviously planning to use some big moves, and he will only be easily killed if he rushes up.
Li Qinglan pulled out the Shura Thunder Sword and rushed towards the sea of blood.
