In the middle of the valley, the light of magic flickered brilliantly, and the clashing of weapons, the roar of humans and the roar of demons joined together, as if a fierce battle was being fought.

In fact, nothing is happening here, everything is just an illusion created by magic.

However, this illusion is not so easy to see, at least not among the scouts of the Tara Khan Domain.

Not no one in the count's ranks could see through this illusion, and the demons who had made a pact with him, for example, could do such a thing. But in this situation, how could he let out the contract demon? lest others not know that he was a demon contractor?

I'm afraid that I will do this kind of thing because of the aura of brain damage.

Moreover, in this valley, he could clearly feel that there was a large magic array that suppressed the demons, most of which were arranged by the group of adventurers—it could be seen that they were indeed experts in dealing with demons.

The Earl nodded secretly in his heart, and then couldn't help but sneer.

An expert at dealing with demons?

Hehe, if you really let them sit in the Tara Khan Territory, sooner or later you will find out that the lord himself is an accomplice of the demon.

When the time comes, the knives of this group of people will probably be pointed at themselves.

In that case, it's better to kill them first!

The old earl's eyes, whose hair and beard were all white, showed a fierce light again, and he was ready, and when he saw the group of adventurers, he immediately ordered a siege without saying a word!

“...... I always feel that our approach is a bit too cruel. In a clearing on the hillside, the tiger looked at the army of Tara Khan, which was slowly approaching the middle of the valley, and sighed deeply.

"Cruelty? maybe. But that's war. "War always has to kill people, and many times, only enough people die to really end the war." ”

"Those soldiers are innocent, they don't know anything at all. ”

"But we don't have the ability to juggle them. ”

“...... It's disgusting!"

Panda patted him on the shoulder: "Life is like this, there will always be things that you don't like, but if you want to move forward, you must step over them." ”

The tiger was thoughtful: "Are you comforting me?"

"No, just a little bit of my personal opinion. Panda said, "When the situation on the city side of Tarakhan stabilizes, you're going to the northern border, right?"

"Yes, I'm going to stop the development and stop the senseless vendetta between the Tarakhanids and the barbarians!"

"Then you have to be prepared to kill. The panda stared at the Tara Khan army that was slowly walking towards the deadly trap, and said in a deep voice, "Kill many, many people, many of whom are innocent in their eyes, and even some of them are innocent in your own eyes." ”

"I understand the former, but what is the matter with the latter, why should I kill people who seem to be innocent?" the tiger frowned.

"Just like this time, we don't want to kill the ordinary soldiers, but we can't afford to show mercy to the Count when dealing with them. "You too, even ...... Your situation will only get harder. When the time comes, you'll have to fight both sides at the same time, and you won't be able to get enough support. When the time comes, you won't have any other way but to swing your sword and kill it. ”

"I don't believe it! there will always be a way!" anger rose in the tiger's eyes.

"Maybe, maybe you can figure out the best of both worlds. The panda didn't argue, just shook his head.

As they spoke, the soldiers of the Tarahan command had already entered the predetermined ambush circle.

On the way from the middle of the valley to the exit at the other end, a huge magic array is arranged, and when activated, this magic array will release several waves of magic attacks in one breath.

This was both to eradicate the Count's wings and to force him to show his feet - in the face of such an attack, he could no longer hide his strength, and he must use all his strength.

Once he wielded the power of the demons, it was almost a foregone conclusion.

Because of the rough roads in the valley – or rather, no road at all – the Count could not ride a horse, but walked like the officers around him. He walked on a somewhat muddy and slippery road, secretly cursing the snow that had fallen the other day.

It is almost the end of winter, and the weather is warming up significantly, and it doesn't take long for the falling snowflakes to melt and become nectar that moistens the earth. But for this valley, they only make the ground slippery and muddy, hindering the march.

"Those demon worshippers never imagined that we would attack them in this weather!" his lieutenant said with some excitement, "I can't wait to try what it's like to slay demons!"

The Earl glanced at him lightly, and he didn't see this excitement of "killing demons" on his face at all, but saw the bright "killing".

But this excuse is good and appropriate.

(This kid is a smart guy and will definitely come in handy in the future.) ）

The Count thought so.

Then he heard a long, sharp thud that rose up from the nearby hillside and into the sky.

Following the prestige, a bright red light was flying into the sky, and when it flew higher than the castle, it exploded.

"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet!"

A heroic and hearty voice came from the side of the hill: "Do it!"

The Count subconsciously hid behind a heavily armed knight, but it was of no use at all.

The attack did not come from the front, but from the sky.

An azure magic array formed in the sky, and a cold air appeared out of thin air. The water vapor condensed by the cold air, turning into sharp ice edges, like raindrops, pouring down on the Tara Khan's army on the ground.

"Enemy attack!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Raise your shield!"

The officers shouted and gave all sorts of useful or useless, reliable or unreliable orders.

Most of the soldiers were not able to react properly, and their training never included the question "what to do if you are attacked by a wide range of magic".

What should I do if I encounter a large-scale magic attack? Of course, I am left to fate, and what else is there to think about.

Sharp ice edges rained down, and the soldiers were wounded. The screams and screams were continuous, and only those who wore solid armor, or who had shields and raised them in time to cover their heads, escaped.

Of course, the earl doesn't have to be afraid of this, he is wearing a very powerful magical equipment, which can generate a powerful protective force field when encountering an attack, and this level of attack will not hurt him at all.

But his face was already gloomy.

You don't have to think about it to know that it's a trap.

A trap for him!

He thought he was calculating others, but he turned out to be ...... Others are also calculating him!
