Chapter 541: Night Sneak Attack
"These demons are blocked from attacking during the day, and they will definitely launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, we just need to make it look like there are still many people in the city, let the remaining soldiers take turns to rest, and now we just need to closely monitor the movements of the demons. After observing the demon's military formation, Lena said to General Klaas beside her, "Asker and I will go to rest first, and you should also rest, the demon will definitely not attack the city at this time." ”
"I see, you and Asker go and rest. General Klaas bowed and watched Lena and the boy leave. He was actually very worried in his heart, would the demon really not attack the city at this time?
After waiting for about an hour, the demon army still did not move, the sun was about to set, and the night was about to fall.
"Finally wait until night, finally you can do this to these humans! Order all demons to prepare before midnight, and at midnight, launch a full-scale attack immediately. "The Abyss Lord Savaloon commanded Ogarth, the steward of hell beside him, that he had decided to launch a surprise attack on the city-state of faith at midnight, and that he believed that the humans on the other side would not be aware of his intentions at all.
Just as the Abyss Lord was already thinking about victory, Lena, the boy, General Klaas, and the top brass of the army gathered to discuss how to deal with the demon army's midnight attack. The opinions of the top brass of the army are very unanimous, and the opinions of Lena are the guidelines for action. So the problem fell on Lena, the boy, and General Klaas.
General Klaas waited for a long time, and seeing that Lena and the young man did not speak, he couldn't help but say a little anxiously: "Lord Divine Envoy, the demon army is about to attack the city, haven't you thought of any strategy to deal with it?"
"In the darkest hours of the night. Human vision will be greatly limited, and combat effectiveness will be drastically reduced. Even if you think of a strategy, you can't easily implement it. I can tell. The demon army is still in a full-scale attack posture in the middle of the night, as long as the momentum of the first round of demon charging can be eliminated, the safety of the night can be guaranteed. Lena frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and said with some excitement: "I know what to do! The demons must have thought that we couldn't think of their night attack strategy, and they must be as reckless as during the day, in this case, when the demons attack, we must stun them with the most violent attacks!"
"Is this really possible? How do we give the devil the most powerful damage?" said Lina when she proposed a solution. Instead of improvements, objections were first raised. Because Lena said before that humans have limited combat capabilities at night, how can they give the devil the maximum damage?
"Mind you, I'm talking about giving the demon the most intense attack, but I didn't say how much damage it will do, you know?" Lena explained with a frown. She wasn't averse to the questioning of these people, but they had lost some of their own judgment. That's what people are, when someone is able to make a decision. Most people are willing to give up thinking for themselves.
It wasn't until Lena explained it once that most people understood Lena's intentions. The people here are all very shrewd people, they are all extremely familiar with strategy and tactics, and Lina's idea is to deter demons. Let these demons be afraid, because before this, the demons had suffered.
Tense pre-war atmosphere simmered in the camps of both sides. Whether it is a demon or a human, there is more or less excitement and fear for this battle. Two peculiar emotions are intertwined, making both parties feel like they are going crazy.
Night has fallen. Demons and humans alike began to prepare for the midnight battle. Both sides were busy nervously, with the city-state of faith preparing dinner in full swing, and the demons not needing to prepare food for most of the demons. Under normal circumstances, the creation of demons is at the lowest level of the demons of this world, and these demons who have no status can only starve and be enslaved. Watching the real demons eat and drink, these demon-making demons dared to be angry and could only endure in silence.
As midnight approached, the battle between the two sides was about to begin. The atmosphere had become more tense than ever, and nothing unusual seemed on the walls of the city-state, except that most of the soldiers were hidden, waiting for the demons to attack the city.
As time passed, midnight finally came!The Abyss Lord gave the order to attack, and nearly 70,000 demons let out an earth-shattering roar, and then began to sprint with all their might, targeting the walls of the city-state of faith. At night, the demon's eyesight is no different from that of the day, and its combat power is naturally many, many times stronger than that of humans.
However, the Abyss Lord was furious when the demons unleashed their brainless roars! These fools are all waste! Why expose their targets, even though they think humans can't detect it at all, but they can be silent!
Just when the Abyss Lord was thundering, a tsunami-like shout suddenly sounded in the originally peaceful city-state of faith! The city wall was instantly ablaze, and one after another large burning canisters of fire oil flew out of the city-state and crashed into the formation of the demon army! Although the demon army's charge was very fast, the attack in the city-state was even more sudden! The demons immediately stopped for a moment, and then they were attacked even more violently, and the casualties increased dramatically in an instant!
Lena always kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield, and the moment the demons stopped a little, Lena ordered the crossbowmen to launch a salvo at the demons! Tens of thousands of powerful crossbow arrows emitted a sharp whistle, covering a large area of demons! After one round of shooting, another round of shooting came again, and the continuous shooting made it difficult for the demons under the covered area to move an inch, and every step forward required a great price!
The fierce attack from within the city-state was seen by the Abyss Lord, and it immediately realized that its intentions had already been discovered by those humans! Its own troops could be said to have entered the trap of the humans! "Retreat!!" The Abyss Lord's roar spread to every corner of the battlefield, and the demons who had already created fears immediately retreated quickly in the face of the powerful firepower of the city-state.
"Drink, drink, drink!!!" As the demon army retreated, the soldiers and civilians in the city-state immediately let out a unison shout like a tsunami! This shout made the demons feel even more frightened, and they almost crawled out of the range of the city-state's weapons.
Dawn soon fell again, and the excited soldiers didn't even feel tired! Countless demon corpses were left on the battlefield outside the city-state! These demons had very little resistance to the Holy Flame, so they would soon be burned to death if they were contaminated by the Holy Flame.
The demon army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and about 30,000 demons were killed in the night attack. Only then did the Abyss Lord realize that the so-called messenger of the gods in the city-state of faith was really very unusual! The previous carelessness could be said to have paid a terrible price, and in less than three days, the demon army had lost more than 80,000 demon-making demons! Now the demon army only had more than 30,000 demons left and about 40,000 demon-making demons! Such a loss was a little unacceptable to the Abyss Lord, and its hatred for Lena became deeper and deeper. (To be continued.) )
