Chapter 386: The Enemy Is Food (Part II)
Chapter 386: The Enemy Is Food (Part II)
γThe third shift is deliveredγ
Necromancers sometimes create corpses. But there won't be too many people who are disgusted. But eating the enemy is a completely different matter.
Nellis snorted coldly when she saw that Marquis Ferdinand had a difficult face.
This cold snort caused a reaction from the demon army. The demons roared at the same time, slamming their weapons against the ground.
"Marquis, the enemy is food, this is the rule of the demon plane. I led the army to fight for His Highness, and His Highness allowed it. Look at their badges!" Nellis pointed at the demon behind her with her huge fingers, and said, "What does this badge represent?"
"Loyalty, unity, honor, faith!" replied the Marquis Ferdinand, bitterly. Let the demon eat people, it seems that it has nothing to do with these four nothing, right?
"We die for His Highness, this is loyalty, we will not attack friendly forces, this is unity, we will not bow our heads in the face of the gods, this is honor. We're going to fight until the end of the world, that's faith!
"You're right......"
Marquis Ferdinand comforted himself in his heart, anyway, the task of the demons is to fight the enemy, and on the battlefield, it is difficult for their own people to cooperate with this legion, let them eat, eat more enemies, and reduce their logistical pressure.
"Marquis, if you are dissatisfied, tell me, and I will give you a list of food, and you will regret it when you see that. "Neris didn't give the Marquis any good looks.
"As you wish, I will persuade my subordinates. When the marquis heard Nellis's words, he suddenly understood, the consumption of these ten thousand demons is probably not small, and the amount of food that a human soldier can eat in the war will be several times greater, and the demons are probably the same. These four or five meter-tall big guys consume a terrifying number of meat.
The marquis succumbed, and Neris was satisfied with the demon legion and went to the square in the center of the city, where she demolished some of the low buildings in the square for the demons to station.
The plane of the Myers continent is already rich. The Garudan region has the best climate, and compared to the demon plane, this is what the gods call the kingdom of heaven. The demons don't need a house at all, they sleep on the floor, and they don't even take off their armor.
After settling the demons and letting the slightly smarter Qizheng and the battalion generals take care of it, Neris left the square and came to the Marquis's Palace. She also did not return to her human form, and deliberately maintained the appearance of the demon god incarnation, discussing the battle with the earl in the garden of the Earl's Palace.
Facing the huge demon god, Ferdinand felt very powerless. Fortunately, Neris did not deliberately intimidate him, but maintained a haughty posture and looked down at the marquis.
Neris sat on the ground, while the Marquis sat on the top floor of a tall building, discussing the next battle with Neris.
The map opened, and the Marquis patiently introduced the current form.
Originally, Sanlian City had nearly 400,000 troops, and Daliang City replenished 100,000, and after removing the losses, it was almost 400,000 troops. There were tens of thousands of wounded soldiers in each city. Although he has been cured, he can do some ordinary work, and he can no longer raise his weapon to fight.
Sanliancheng is stuck on a flat land more than sixty miles wide, to the west, is a narrow plain, more than fifty miles away there is a north-south river, not wide, the Holy See army has built a strong bridge, so that the army behind can quickly pass.
Recently, the Holy See has mainly attacked the cities south of the three cities, harassed them in the north, and sent troops to besiege the main city in the middle. The city in the south was in an emergency, and the main city sent out cavalry to attack the besieging army, but the number of the Holy See's army was also about 500,000, not counting the large army west of the river.
"So, the army of the Tangulas is relatively dense!"
"That's true, at least in Hedong, in terms of troops, we don't have an advantage. β
Neris has experienced battles with the expeditionary force, and the 100,000 expeditionary force also impressed Nellis. In the army of the Holy See, the soldiers are not afraid of death, they are really not afraid. It was as if death was a blissful thing for them.
"200,000 troops in the main city, 100,000 troops in each of the north and south cities, and the enemy attacked the southern city. Here, the route of the support of the main city, the army here, what is the combat effectiveness, you describe to me, how many strong people are in charge. β
Ferdinand was well versed in military affairs, and Neris's problem made him a little worried.
"Your Excellency...... There are two main legions of the enemy here, plus about 20,000 blood knights, and there are not many strong men in the town, and there are two cardinals. Probably an eighth-level professional. They won't attack our army, but if we have a Juggernaut in our army, these two cardinals will come forward. β
"Do we have a magician?"
"In every city, there is a seventh-level magician, but he can't attack, and he must guard the magic tower. β
"So, the enemy can only attack through regular means, or they will have to forcibly destroy the magic tower?"
"That's right, to destroy a seven-story magic tower, you need to dispatch at least two ninth-level powerhouses. However, the magic tower of Sanlian City is built inside the city wall, and the ninth-level powerhouse must consider the threat of the arrow tower, and may not be able to attack it. β
"That is, here. There were between seven and eighty thousand troops, and two cardinals were in charge. Where's this?" asked Nellis, pointing to the nearest suitable position for the garrison.
"There are about the same number, but there are no blood knights, just ordinary armies. β
"Hey, that's a lie. I'm afraid the real elite are stationed here. If the southern city is in a hurry, and the magic tower is about to be lost, the main city will have to send more troops to support it on the side. When the number of reinforcements reaches a certain level, the elite troops here will be dispatched, and then the army attacking the southern city will reflexively flank, and we will dispatch a maximum of 50,000 men. And the enemy can mobilize more than 150,000 here, plus the 200,000 troops attacking Nancheng, what do you think of this trap?"
Neris's words made Ferdinand break out in a cold sweat. He supported Nancheng several times, but the position mentioned by Nellis was not dispatched, which made him think it was logistics. Judging from the results of the scout investigation, the same is true. But if this is the enemy's main force, the 150,000 troops are enough to trap the 50,000 elites, entangle until the arrival of the main force, and then encircle and annihilate.
In the past, the number of people who had been dispatched by themselves was too small to be worth the enemy's efforts.
Ferdinand sweated because Neris was too smart to see the trap at a glance. If demons were like that, it would be terrifying!
"The terrain here is narrow, and there are not too many troops, otherwise the Holy See would have knocked down the three cities a long time ago. Don't be nervous, Marquis, though, I'll attack on April 9 and eat this team. Nellis pointed her sharp, arrow-like nails at the camp of 70,000 men. She used the word "eating" to chill Ferdinand.
"Your Excellency, why don't you attack on the 8th?" Ferdinand was a little puzzled, attacking Nancheng would take at least a whole day to attack with all his might before Nancheng would be in a hurry. A day passed, that is, the ninth day, at that time, the main city went to the rescue again, and happened to fall into the enemy's trap, and on the tenth day, almost the defense line of the three cities completely collapsed.
"Attacking the Tangulas west of the river in advance will increase the army by a million in a day. If the enemy fights hard, the ten days will be our most dangerous days. Delay for a day, and there will be no room for a million troops here. The main forces of the enemy could only stay west of the river. After surviving the eleventh day, the marriage of the county lord has ended, and the attack regardless of casualties has lost its meaning. β
Ferdinand's cold sweat flowed even more, and this demon was not only tactically advantageous, but also very strategically proficient.
The demon's plan, even if it fails in the end, will disrupt the enemy's plan and make the enemy's plan to break the city fail on the tenth day.
It is very important for Kushui County to survive the 10th day. If the border is lost on the day of the wedding of the county king, it will be an extremely huge blow to the Kushui County.
A cruel smile appeared in Nellis's purple eyes, and she said viciously: "Sooner or later, one day, the Yunliu people will regret it for colluding with the Holy See!"
Nellis knew that in the eyes of Qin Yinren, the Holy See was the real demon. If his demon army wants to go to the Yunliu Empire to kill, he must have a good excuse. Since Yunliu and the Holy See are hooking up, and the hookup is so thorough, there is another big meal on the recipe of his demon legion.
There is no need to discredit yourself, Yunliu people have already made the wrong decision. Neris even thought of the slogan of the demon army in the future, that is, to eat the believers of the evil gods!
This slogan, Qin Yin people will accept, after all, there has never been a church in this country, and the people there believe in magic, and earlier, they also believed in astrologers. The Grand Duke of Garulan failed, and the family was not preserved, and there was not much support from the nobles of Qin Yin, because the Grand Duke of Garudan acquiesced to the presence of the Holy See in his land.
"Duke, I still need some sponsorship personally, you can help me find a way. Nellis asked for supplies, and the Marquis of Ferdinand agreed.
Neris wants a magic core, and it's a high-level magic core. There are dozens of high-grade magic cores in her bracelet, but she is reluctant to inlay them on the magic stone cannon, because they are all ninth-level magic cores, and the magic stone cannon can attack with seventh-level magic cores.
Originally, it was okay to use a fourth-level magic core, but Nellis didn't want to replace the magic core for the magic stone cannon on the battlefield, so she asked for it.
After asking for six seventh-level magic cores, Nellis took out her magic stone cannon, replaced the magic stone cannon with a new one, filled the magic stone bullet, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Marquis, I will remember your generosity. β
Neris was right, and on April 8, the Holy See gathered an army of 300,000 and began a fierce attack on the southern city of Sanlian. At the first moment, the defenders of the southern city raised the alarm. The Marquis of Ferdinand, reminded by Neris, did not immediately send troops to the rescue, but began to prepare for the next day's battle.
Neris was very excited, the terrain here in Sanlian City was too suitable for the Demon Legion to fight, if she had 100,000 demons, she was even sure to defeat the Holy See's army in one fell swoop. The plains here are narrow, and the Holy See's collection of 500,000 troops is already the limit, and 500,000 troops will not be the opponent of 100,000 demons. Unless, human beings are still the same human beings as they used to be!
[To mention here, many of the details in the book are related to the situation on the entire continent, and I did not write them in particular detail in the chapters. For example, Nellis asked for a seventh-level magic core. The price of the seventh-level magic core is obviously not outrageous, but the magic core is a thing that is priceless most of the time, so Neris will ask for it. The high-level magic core market is controlled in the hands of Alchemy City, asking for the magic core, not as simple as hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but controlling the consumption of its own rare materials, seeing the question, I can't help but want to answer, but it will take a lot of time, I am now updating the speed up, and there is less time to communicate, I'm really sorry, I will try to make the content not outrageous, everyone understands, it's really needed, I will also write it]
