Flames spread throughout the village, leaving only gnawed bones and blood all over the ground. No one survived the chaos, let alone escaped the village, and even the villagers in the cellar were searched by the monsters.

Nothing was left behind, as long as it was edible, and even some vegetarian food was taken away. To make matters worse, the Monster destroyed almost all the houses and defenses of the village, and lit a fire, as if the village had been wiped out of the map forever.

The soldiers looked at this in despair, and prayed to the god they believed in with some slurred words. They had never imagined that the attack of the demonic beasts would be like this, and they had never imagined that this group of demonic beasts would actually cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and they would not give people a way to live at all.

Among them, Xiao Liu was the most calm person, he quickly marked the location of the village on the map, and used the teleportation magic to report the situation to the other troops, and at the same time conveyed it back to the pass - this is not to report to the superiors, but to remind different areas to strengthen security.

Although the Imperial side has stated that the dragon knight troops have moved towards this side, the time of arrival is still unknown. Therefore, during the period when they came to the border pass to support, the famous Xiao Liu and the officers who were originally stationed at the border pass almost jointly took on the deployment of early combat missions.

The beast tide has been threatening the stability of the border cities, although there is a Black Dragon Pass blocking most of the demonic beasts, but there are still many demonic beasts that will quietly cross this pass in different ways with their own characteristics and run rampant within the empire.

Originally, the soldiers on the border were still very sure of resisting the Warcraft, after all, they lacked organization and discipline, no matter how strong the individual was, even if the King-level Warcraft appeared, it still could not pose any threat to the pass. As usual, they were loosely fighting against this group of menacing beasts—even if there had indeed been a large beast tide in history, the defense capability of the pass could have easily blocked this level of harm now.

It was at this time that a change of events occurred.

They pounced again and again, and even doubted life a little. Just when they thought there was something wrong with the spies or the detection of magic, and were about to pack up and go home, they were suddenly attacked. Then, when they had just reacted and regained their fighting spirit to prepare for battle, they found that the demonic beasts that attacked them had already fled, leaving only the corpses of soldiers all over the ground.

This happened again and again in a few days, and the monsters took advantage of their familiarity with the horrors of the terrain to shuttle through the forest like ghosts, taking it when they saw it, and the enemy retreated, and the enemy advanced and retreated, fighting guerrilla warfare all over the forest. It is precisely because of this terrifying tactic that the border pass has to begin to shrink the defensive line.

Just as they were shrinking their defensive lines and arranging a large number of defensive points in front of the border pass, many villages and towns in the rear were suddenly attacked by the horrors of the Warcraft. If that's all there is to it, the group of monsters will start to burn down granaries and other reserve buildings with fire-based magic or abilities, leaving no one in small villages, and killing craftsmen such as blacksmiths and tailors in large villages.

"Damn, how can you ...... like this"

The team leader's eyes were full of tears, this was the third village they had arrived in today, and the buildings that were still burning seemed even more uncomfortable than when the previous two villages arrived.

Xiao Liu patted him on the shoulder, and the incantation gradually appeared around him, and the damp water vapor instantly spread all over the burning village. After a while, the fire gradually decreased, and it was not until it was extinguished that he slowly walked to the village.

"Master...... Can you be sure what kind of monster it is? as long as you can be sure ......."

"No, they wiped almost all the marks clean. ”

Xiao Liu rubbed his temples, unable to give an affirmative answer to this very responsible captain. After all, this is also the first time he has experienced such a beast tide, organized, disciplined, good at surprise attacks, and will accept when he sees a good situation. Never in love with war, just run when you should run, and there are many low-level demonic beasts in each Warcraft unit, protecting the middle-level spell-casting demonic beasts among them. Even if they did, it was impossible to determine what kind of creature the spell caster was, and due to some shielding magic, normal detection magic was equally useless.

"...... Why is this happening......"

The captain's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, not knowing what to say, only humming softly. This kind of thing can't be said, maybe it can be endured once or twice, but this team has seen such a tragic situation no less than ten times in the past few days. The nearby villages and small towns, as long as they had not retreated, were almost wiped out of the slaughter.

They tried to ambush, but found that the monsters were like being able to sense their ambush, making all kinds of detours, specifically not going to the villages and towns where they were ambushing, and taking advantage of their ambush to attack more areas.

A large number of refugees retreated to the pass and the nearby city of Zhennan, and food reserves began to run out of stockpiles. It was at this time that a suicide team composed entirely of Warcraft Birds attacked the granary of Zhennan City again, and they brainlessly relied on the sacrifice of two general-level Warcraft Birds to rush into the granary, and before the battle team arrived, they burned nearly half of the granary's food.

Xiao Liu didn't continue to do anything, he just finished recording the problems in this place, and then retreated towards the Black Dragon Pass with the soldiers who had lost their will to fight.

......

There was not much food in the pass, although Xiao Liu had carried a lot of food at the beginning, but in front of such a population, his little thing was enough for a day or two of rations. Although the grain depot in the pass has been heavily guarded, in fact, the grain inside cannot last long under the influx of so many refugees.

Seven days, eight days, although the dragon knights should have arrived at that time, but in the face of the beast herd of pure guerrilla tactics, what could those dragon knights with strong individual strength do? Could it be that they want to use large-scale lethal magic to completely destroy the entire forest?

As long as you don't make up your mind to completely destroy the forest, that group of demonic beasts will always be in an absolutely favorable terrain, and humans will always be at a disadvantage. But how easy is it to destroy this forest...... In the depths of this forest, it is said that there are terrifying creatures that even the dragon clan is afraid of, and the dragon knight is a warrior who enslaves the dragon clan to serve him, what dragon will really obey completely?

Let's just hope they can bring more food.

Xiao Liu thought so and walked into the gate of the Black Dragon Pass. Many of the teams seem to have returned, some of them are hugging and crying, some are full of sadness, and some of the weak teams are even being targeted by the monsters, and they have not returned after the last message "We have been attacked".

In the mediocre teams, there were few deaths, and they were more or less severely attacked, but the reaction of the other side was more disgusting than against the weaker team - simply causing injuries, serious injuries, broken bones, and even abrasions. While preserving their strength, the monsters created wounds large and small on these well-trained and well-equipped warriors, taking advantage of the favorable terrain and constantly harassing them.

Mental fatigue, coupled with various injuries all over the body, made this group of elite veterans completely lose the ability to fight, even if they used healing potions, it was difficult to face that group of monsters psychologically.

Dismantle beliefs, disintegrate psyche...... Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top. Xiao Liu had never experienced this kind of beast tide, and he had never imagined that a demonic beast could be in such a situation...... They are not encroaching on territory at all, and they are not hunting prey. They are constantly wearing down the will of the troops at this pass, waiting for the final punch.

"Why don't we start restricting travel and start waiting for support in peace. It is said that the forces of the Empire have also been dispatched and will arrive after the Dragon Knights. No matter how powerful those demonic beasts are, they can't break through this threshold that has stood for a hundred years, isn't it?"

Even the officers were already feeling the pressure of this terror. They had to come up with the idea of retreating to the Black Dragon Pass - this was tantamount to giving more roads that could quietly cross the Black Dragon Pass to the Warcraft, so that they could attack the interior more easily, but if this continued, the Black Dragon Pass might also be breached.

Xiao Liu nodded confusedly, at this time, his head was also like a mess, and he didn't know what to do.

It's just that they didn't realize that since Warcraft could even think of how to fight them when they went out to fight, how could they not think about what tactics to use when they were stubborn?
