"We can't let the demons gather further, we have to take the initiative."

In the council chamber of Melantonbur, known as the "Holy Town", the capital of the good camp of Andreinna, the leaders of the elves, the clergy, and the rangers are hotly discussed.

An extraordinarily tall man was waving his fists and shouting loudly.

He was a Paladin of Losanda who was originally born into a noble family and embarked on an adventurous path because of his passion for justice and glory, and after a series of exploits, he heard the story of Androna and came here with enthusiasm.

Unlike the average adventurer, this paladin, once known as the "Lightblade", possessed excellent military prowess. His mastery of various military tactics, as well as his acumen in actual command on the battlefield, were indispensable to the good camp of Andrina.

Over the past two decades, he has gradually become one of the main commanders of the good camp of Andrina with his outstanding performances, earning him the reputation of "Dawn Light".

The sun god Loshanda is known as the "Lord of the Dawn", and the fact that this holy warrior can be named "Dawn" shows how good he is.

Over the years, he has been collecting and analyzing information about the demons, and he knows a lot about the style of the commanders of the demon army.

The commander of each demon army has his own fighting style.

The King of Demon Spiders, Talon, is keen to gather a large number of demon-lovers and hidden demons to serve as the vanguard, followed by an army of cowardly demons that flood the enemy like a tidal wave.

The Black Knight Sunset likes to assemble a powerful and elite demon army and then find an opportunity to charge directly at Merantumber, and he and his loyal men love this kind of crushing battle in which the few crush the many.

The temptation demon "snake hair" prefers to assemble a regular army dominated by tyrants, supplemented by fire demons, and the tyrants with strong strength and swiftness have a strong frontal impact, and it is said that the fire demons born from the failure of the evolution of the Barlow fire demon are masters of long-range spells, such an army with both near and far, plus some Babu demons who are good at assassination, such a lineup has made good people suffer big losses more than once.

And the current commander of the main force of the demon army is the cunning demon "sneer", this guy prefers to gather cowardly demons and quasai demons, these two demons in the abyss can only be called cannon fodder level and are used by it as consumables, and even as long as they can be used to consume the combat power of some good people, it feels worthwhile.

"Sneer" is a master honed from countless battles, not only extremely powerful, but also fierce and cunning, which is difficult to deal with. A low-level demon can grow into a middle-level commander in the demon army, and its wisdom is beyond doubt.

This seemingly untechnical and stupid tactic hits the soft underbelly of the good camp.

There is no shortage of powerful masters, but the grassroots force is very scarce, and the consumables are even more limited.

It wasn't difficult to open the portal from the upper plane, but it would take a lot of time to deliver supplies to Andrina on a large scale. There is a risk of being raided by the Demon Mother. So they won't take the initiative to apply for supplies unless they have to.

So Melantonbury's supplies were almost always inadequate, except in the months following a massive supply.

However, during that time, the demon army would take the initiative to retreat and avoid frontal combat.

This kind of abominable cunning makes the righteous holy warriors itch to the root of their teeth!

Now, the demon army on the north bank of the Hoffenstein River has become more and more numerous, if you don't take advantage of the moment to give them some blows, dampen their morale, wait for the "sneer" to complete the integration of those cowardly demons and quartet demons, and use fear to make them temporarily learn "discipline", the next is a difficult battle.

And if you can take advantage of the present to give the demons a head-on blow, then the cowardly nature of bullying the weak and afraid of the hard will regain the upper hand, and then it will take a lot of time and energy to make them forget death with just the "sneer" of the low-level demons.

Gaining time, gaining more time, is the entire strategic goal of "Dawn Light".

Before coming to Andreinna, he had many ambitions, such as breaking the blockade of the Demon Mother and bringing all the Aratians trapped here back to the Unrestrained Wild.

But after twenty years of fighting, he has given up on these unrealistic illusions. All he has to do now is to try to persevere, until the end of his life.

Fighting to the death to protect goodness and entrusting his career to future generations is the ending he has planned for himself.

But this small goal is not so easy to achieve, at least ...... Survive the current round of attack.

The holy warrior, who already had many wrinkles on his face, shouted loudly, but when he saw the somewhat hesitant faces of his colleagues, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

The long-term unfavorable battle situation has made these guardians of Melandon Burgh have a war-like mentality. It's not that they're afraid to back down in battle, but when they have a choice, they subconsciously tend to be conservative and avoid fighting.

In their hearts, the stereotype that "fighting equals defeat" has been created.

If in the material world, such emotions do not prevent them from continuing to fight to the last moment of their lives as a brave warrior for goodness and justice.

But, they are now in the abyss.

And the abyss is the outer plane of "heart is better than matter"!

The holy warrior sighed silently, and once again silently prayed to the god he believed in, but not for him to give him strength or victory, but for a righteous warrior who could be better than himself, and once again inspire the confidence in the hearts of these old friends who had fought together for many years.

Even if they want to die, they should face death calmly with the confidence that "our cause will win sooner or later."

Otherwise...... In this abyss, death is not the end, nor is it the most terrible thing......

Just as he was trying to persuade the generals to gather their elites to cross the river to kill the enemy, he suddenly heard exclamations from outside, followed by irrepressible laughter of joy.

"What's wrong?" A dwarf with a serious personality frowned and looked out the door, "What's so happy?" ”

Then the guards outside replied, "Report!" We're reinforced! ”

"How many people came?" The paladin asked eagerly.

“…… Just one. ”

The paladin was about to sigh when the guard said, "He said, 'According to the rules of my hometown, you must bring some gifts when you meet new friends, so I just went to the north bank of the Hoffenstein River and cut down a few Tiflin swordsmen who seemed to have some strength.......' He also asked where to put the gifts. ”

The generals in the hall looked at each other, and then, not knowing who was the first, rushed towards the door.

A moment later, they saw the gift from Pan Long.

The corpses and weapons were thrown in a magic circle outside the town that was specially used to purify and capture the enemy's weapons and equipment.

Despite being dead, the evil aura of those Tieflin swordsmen continued to overflow, and their broken greatsword still radiated an evil blasphemy.

If it weren't for the barrier of the magic array, ordinary people might have been exposed to these evil qi for a little longer, and they would be difficult to resist and be polluted into half-human, half-demon monsters.

Looking at the rather familiar faces in the magic array, the generals talked a lot.

"These are...... That's a very powerful 'Black Blade Squad', right? ”

"That's right! All of them are Tieflin swordsmen, and they use +2 blasphemous greatswords, which is their trait, and there is no second gang of such guys in the entire Android Linna! ”

"I remember there were six of them, and that's ...... It's all here? ”

"Unless they have a seventh, it's all here."

"Just now he said it was a gift for visiting a new friend?"

"I swear to the King of the Twin Axes (the title of the dwarven god of war 'Kranjardine Silverbeard'), I have never received such a joyful gift! When I was thirty years old, my uncle gave me a piece of Mithril, and I was never so happy! ”

"Me too, if I have alcohol, I should get drunk today!"

In a surprise, Pan Long smiled and greeted the kind generals who had been fighting in Andlinna for many years.

"Friends, I don't know about this gift of mine, do you like it?"
