Chapter 102: The Tao Is the Manifestation of the Hour of Exhaustion (I)
The vanguard of the eastward advance group deliberately avoided Ishinuma and wanted to go to the front to grab the credit.
They have more troops than Ishinuma, better equipment than Ishinuma, and stronger combat effectiveness than Ishinuma, especially equipped with evil devourers and night spirits that are specifically aimed at machine puppets, so there is no reason why they can't get greater results than Ishinuma.
The commander of this vanguard is a flame-like indigenous spirit, barely able to stick to the original royal family of the Fire Tree Dynasty, and before the coup d'état, he has always regarded himself as a royal family, and after the coup, he never mentioned the idea of the royal family factor in his own bloodline, but preached the benevolence and virtue of the current court every day. With this shameless foundation, the change of dynasty did not affect his promotion, but was promoted because of his loyalty to the new dynasty, from the commander of a small army to the commander of a front army.
Although he didn't have to deal with the royal bloodline in advance, His Excellency the Commander still thought that he was so superior to other races, especially in the face of a low-level stone spirit race like Ishinuma, he was even more eager to treat it with his nostrils, of course, as a flame spirit who could only be regarded as a medium-level flame spirit, he had no nostrils.
His Excellency the commander of the vanguard unit knows very well that Ishinuma will inevitably get unimaginable rewards for such a special achievement, of course, he is envious and jealous of this, but he only feels that this stinky stone is really a shit luck, and most of his own place is desperately resisting the main force of the human invaders at the canyon pass, this stinky stone is just a defeated soldier, but because he took advantage of the loophole, he can get at least a heroic name to fight back against human aggression, and if he doesn't get it, he will be made into an idol by the above, which is used to boost the morale of the army! As soon as he thought about this, His Excellency felt that this hell was really a place where there was no reason.
We must not let this stinky stone shine like this, at least we must share some of his credit, and presumably the upper-level bigwigs who have painstakingly planned the eastward expansion strategy will also be very happy to have an eastward expansion force to grab the limelight of this stone that has emerged from the sky.
Therefore, his Excellency the commander ignored Ishinuma's bitter persuasion, and insisted on pulling out the camp and advancing in the direction of Huoxia Town.
The vanguard force consists of a mixed force composed of 5,000 evil ghost puppets and nearly 30,000 other indigenous people of various races, and its strength is not comparable to that of Ishinuma.
At this time, Li Ruiliu and Eva, who organized the defense in Huoxia Town, were not the initial embarrassment, after doing their best to gather the nearby forces, as well as the strong support of the company, now there are nearly 30,000 evil ghost puppets on hand, and a large amount of materials and ammunition, but most of these evil ghost puppets are left in the rear to engage in engineering construction, from experience, they have never experienced any - even if the battle that was captured at the beginning is counted - war, and their loyalty is also very questionable, most of these evil ghosts have not been captured for a long time, It was not completely tamed, so it was not included in the combat unit, but remained in the rear to engage in construction. And the leading mages are all low-level mages and mage apprentices who have just graduated from the technical academy and entered the workforce, basically mainly mage apprentices, and they lack any war experience, with their status, even when it comes to the battle between mages in the human world, they have no qualifications to get involved.
Leading such an inexperienced group of suspicious people, the pressure on Li Ruiliu and Eva can be imagined, and what makes them feel even more pressure is that the Pioneer City side has privately sent news to the two, because the war on the Eastern Front is tight, and it will be difficult for the Pioneer City side to provide strong support before the Eastern Front is stabilized.
Li Ruiliu took advantage of the gap in Ishinuma's retreat, and did not pursue, but spent great efforts to reorganize the army.
For this improvised puppet army of evil ghosts, Li Ruiliu adopted the strongest iron and bloody tactics, and any evil ghosts who dared to disobey his orders would be mercilessly executed at the first time, for which he even deliberately issued several obviously idiotic orders to lure the snake out of the hole in order to kill chickens and monkeys.
In just two days, among the more than 30,000 attached puppet demons, nearly 100 evil ghosts were executed under various names, and there were almost no puppets that appeared every moment because of the death of evil ghosts. This kind of cruel behavior that is close to slaughter has successfully erected the image of Li Ruiliu's butcher in the minds of all evil ghosts, and he does not dare to neglect any of Li Ruiliu's lives. And this is what Li Ruiliu wants, absolute awe and obedience, which is enough.
Facts have proved that Li Ruiliu's brutal action to reorganize the army has been extremely effective.
The vanguard of the Eastward Advance Group of the Fire Tree Dynasty drove smoothly to the front of Huoxia Town.
After being also shaken by this miraculous structure, the commander of the vanguard gave the order to attack.
It's just that unlike Ishinuma who came up and ordered the shelling, the commander of the vanguard thought more.
He wanted to take the city on the bridge intact, so that he could prepare for the entire eastward expansion group to continue to advance westward and achieve greater results.
As a result, the demon puppets in the vanguard were sent out as soon as possible to serve as offensive cannon fodder.
Similarly, unlike Iinuma who sent ten demon puppets at a time to add fuel to the petty family, the commander sent two thousand demon puppets at once to launch the first wave of attacks, and followed the overseers with a Eidolon squad as the overseer.
Sending the Eidolin team to oversee the battle was not the commander's ingenuity.
This is the unified order of the Eastward Bloc.
Although the demons have surrendered on the battlefield and have been obedient from beginning to end, the top brass of the Eastward Expansion Group still can't trust these repeatedly cunning guys, and requires each demon puppet unit to be equipped with a corresponding Eidolon Supervisor according to the size of the formation, so as to ensure that the demons will not fail to work in the battle, and then return to the arms of humans when the situation is not good.
At the beginning, Li Ruiliu wanted to use the back door on the machine puppet protection circle to deal with these evil ghost puppets rushing up, but he soon found that this method did not work.
Ishinuma immediately sent the puppet to the battlefield when he got it, and he didn't have the ability to study the problems related to the puppet, but as an eastward group, he concentrated the manpower and material resources of the eastern provinces of the Fire Tree Dynasty, so he naturally wouldn't take the liberty of sending the demon puppet to the battlefield without even looking at it. They soon discovered the back door left on the puppet and repaired it, which blocked the possibility of Li Ruiliu's secret tricks again.
Li Ruiliu thought twice about it and decided to resist the enemy in Huoxia Town and use the geographical advantage to launch a resistance, so that the enemy could not spread out in an all-round way and form a numerical superiority.
If you have to go as a last resort, you still have to keep the passage of Huoxia Town.
