Chapter Ninety-One: The End
How would you describe what happened to the Demon King's army after the defeat on Frost Street?
Maybe there are only four words to describe the end of the road.
Josephine, No. 7 and the Blood Knife forcibly united only more than two thousand defeated soldiers, including both the Demon King's Guards and the original Western Front Demon King's Army, the establishment was chaotic, the generals did not know each other, and they also lost all the food and grass baggage, plus there was no warm clothing, the two thousand Demon King Army began to withdraw to the south when they were hungry and cold, and their morale completely collapsed.
It's not that they haven't tried to go east, but first, there is no Demon King Army city in the east, and it is useless to go, and secondly, the result of the seventh to go to investigate is that about twenty miles to the east of the Demon King Army, there is a team composed of pure elves, from ice dragonflies to ice bears, the only thing in common is that all skin complexions are as white as ice and snow, and they exude cold air all the way.
No. 7, who had just suffered a big loss from the ice dragon, could guess with his toes that this was the Eastern Front blocking army that the coalition had prepared for them. The coalition forces didn't know how to get the assistance of the ice dragon, and now they have come up with these ice elves as partial divisions to block their way back, and even the logistics and so on needed by the partial divisions are saved, which is really a good calculation.
You can't go east, you can only go south. The Demon King's army returned miserably along the way they came, and the sad atmosphere was really hard to describe.
Fortunately, after walking out for about thirty miles, the Demon King's army led by Itamar led the partial division to make peace with these two thousand people, and also brought the grain and grass that had been distributed to the partial division before, so that the Demon King's army finally had a full meal before nightfall and had a tent to sleep in.
The tired soldiers of the Demon King Army set up camp tents, and after they were full, they couldn't wait to fall asleep. Josephine, Seven, and Commander Itamar were the ones who were fighting hard and set up the camp's open and dark posts for defensive purposes.
But at this time, the high-level of the Demon King Army is no longer the previous high-level, the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander have been defeated one after another, and the current high-level of the Demon King's Army has turned out to be a combination of Josephine and Seven, who have never fought before-although Seven's brains, he has never participated in the Cold Weapon War in his previous journey-and the Itamar Commander, who is familiar with military affairs but lacks talent and can only follow the rules. This led them to make a huge mistake when arranging the night defense of the camp: they did not arrange for the elves to keep vigil!
In the war of this world, the importance of the elven envoys is undoubted, out of love for the elven envoys, they let the elven envoys go to sleep, and only let ordinary soldiers participate in the defense. Because in the opinion of No. 7, the Demon King Army and the coalition army have been fighting for half a day and running for half a day today, and they are all tired and half dead, and there should be no more fighting. Even if the coalition forces want to sneak attack, it should be tomorrow at least.
But he ignored one problem, that is, the enmity between the coalition army and the demon king army is as deep as the sea, and normal military common sense will definitely not work here! As long as the opportunity is seized, both sides are bound to put the other to death, and they don't care about the cost.
Bana's ratio of the Demon King's army to chase thousands of miles, and when his own logistics cannot be absolutely guaranteed, he is a model of this kind of psychology. Seven doesn't have a deep understanding of the hatred between the two sides, and Josephine is also not familiar with military affairs, which gives the coalition a golden opportunity.
That night, when the Demon King Army was sleeping, the coalition army arrived quietly, and did not do any rest at all, Li Qinglan and the Holy Maiden The two masters immediately took action, killed all the little probes arranged by the Demon King Army on the periphery, and then took the elite of the coalition army to kill the camp of the Demon King Army, kill people when they saw them, and set fire to the camp tent when they saw them, especially organized a small army to find a place where the Demon King Army was stockpiled with food, and burned it all out with a fire.
The Demon King's army was suddenly attacked, although it fought back, but it was still defeated, and it could not be integrated in the dark, so they had to flee for their lives, only Josephine and Seven Blood Knife gathered a force of hundreds of people around them, and they were able to escape from the camp in formation.
Fortunately, Josephine did not give it in vain, and when he escaped, he deliberately shouted loudly, so that all the soldiers of the Demon King Army ran south to gather. By daylight the next day, she set up the banner of the Demon King Army, but she also gathered some defeated soldiers, and finally gathered a thousand people.
Four thousand changes to one thousand, Josephine and the others can't help but be even more depressed, and No. 7 is also remorseful - when they drove the coalition army north, Barnaby has always been cautious in arranging several elven envoy vigils, and he himself has participated in it a few times, why has he forgotten about it now?
Repentant to repentant, the past cannot be changed, he can only fight the spirit, continue to give advice to Josephine, see how to speed up the march, how to find food and clothes, so that the remaining demon army can be safely withdrawn.
It's strange to say, after the first day of the robbery, the coalition army just followed the demon army honestly in the next few days, and the demon army walked and they left, and the demon army stopped and they stopped, and there were no more moths, nor did they catch up and fight, but it seemed to be escorting them. This made the seven and others who were trembling, afraid that the coalition forces would organize cavalry troops to attack their infantry team, and they couldn't help but be puzzled.
Just went all the way south, and when they arrived at the main stalemate battlefield between the Demon King Army and the coalition army, between Ostachia and Celral, Josephine and Seven and others completely understood what the coalition was fighting in mind:
The banner of the Divine Lukia Kingdom is twenty miles out of the city, and it is waving in front of the Demon King Army!
"Sleep! Trough! Rao is No. 7 is well-informed, and when he saw this scene, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "Those bastards! Unexpectedly, it turned out to be TM who acted in a play! It's a real TM like! ”
When the coalition forces were stopped under the city of Ostacia, the saint herself did not get a reply, forcing the coalition forces to go around the city, as they saw with their own eyes. But now that the Holy Lukia King** has made it clear that he wants to join forces with the coalition to destroy the Demon King Army, how can he be the one who put the coalition army in a desperate situation in the first place?
"They actually used the battle between each other as an excuse to lure our army north with the entire coalition army as bait?" Itamar was no less shocked than Seven. He had never heard of such a large-scale, risky lure of the enemy to go deeper!
"Could it be that the dispute between the coalition forces and the Holy Lukia King** is fake...... Impossible! It can't be fake! All the captives we have caught! Josephine said in despair.
"That's not fake, that's why the Kingdom of Holy Lukia needs to do it even more! will be even more enthusiastic to intercept our army! There is also the coalition army, the reason why the coalition army has not pursued it with all its strength before, is to leave this credit to the Holy Lukia King**, in order to bridge the feud between the two sides, so that they can continue to work together in the future war! The more No. 7 spoke, the more angry he became, "Li Qinglan, you are so calculating, you are so calculating!" ”
