Chapter 140: Bloodstained Ice Palace City (I)
The front-line scouts reported that because the demon army was attacked by ambushes everywhere, they did not dare to march rashly, gave up the pursuit, and retreated to defend. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ "General Kers, what should we do now?"
Kers paced and said: "We can't rush to fight now, we have set up an ambush, and the demon army will not dare to march rashly, besides, they are on an expedition, if there is not enough food and grass, they will not be able to last long, and we have the supply of Lost Dream City, so the demon army is more urgent than us, they will definitely want to capture the city as soon as possible as a base." So what we must do now is to monitor the demon army's every move, to avoid their night attacks, sudden attacks, but also to prevent them from taking a detour to attack Lost Dream City, as long as they move, we will immediately send troops to attack. β
Ci Lang nodded and said, "Yes, now we just have to wait for the opportunity, if we are in a hurry to fight between the two armies, we will not be the opponent of the demon army." However, if the demon reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult for us to deal with them, and I think we will have to figure out how to deal with it, and besides, the Ice Palace and the island of Yavit are also fighting. β
Kers said: "Yes, so as long as one of the corners is defeated, then the other two corners will also be affected, especially morale, for the time being, stabilize the situation, you can't be lame, otherwise, if the rear of the human kingdom is defeated, it will be over." What's more, in this land of dreamy swamps, there is also a larger Castlevania inhabited by demons. β
"Isn't Castlevania garrisoned by General Zalt?"
Kers was silent for a moment and said: "Yes, so we can't back down here, even if we hold on, otherwise once these two demon armies converge, it will enhance their momentum, and if the demon army is based on Lost Dream City and Castlevania, it will be even more difficult to deal with." β
Cz Lang said: "Well, now we are mainly resting, preparing for war, and dispatching at any time." β
Kers said again, "Yes. Oh, by the way, Czron, I'm always a little worried about the situation of the demon army, and I have to ask the scouts to report back in time. When he had said yes, he withdrew from the camp.
Two days after the Battle of the Swamp of Dreams, the head of the Templar Order, Cunop, led all four Templar teams to the city of Icepalace. The Ninth Army of the Silver Cross Expeditionary Force has been waiting for a long time. As soon as he arrived, Konop said to his subordinates: "Gerno, Sabula, Cumble, and Fransen, you first deploy the four warbands, and I will first find out the current situation of the demon army with the commander of the Ninth Army of the Crusaders." β
The Knights Templar immediately set up camp outside the Ice Palace, and Jolson invited Cornop and the others into the Ice Palace City and sat down in the cold noise. Kernop asked, "Jolson, where has the demon army arrived now?"
Jolson got up and pointed to the map hanging on the wall, and pointed: "General Cunop, now that the demon army has arrived here, it has passed through the snowman-infested area and arrived at the plateau infested by the ice field, and now there is only one ice bridge between us, I have ordered the infantry commander of the Ninth Army, Ziqi, to lead the troops to garrison this bridge, let the scouts monitor the movements of the demon army, and the other two demon armies have turned to Dreamy City and Yavit Island Harbor City from here." β
Conop said, "Judging from this situation, it seems that this army of the demon army is not marching very fast?"
Jolson replied: "According to the scouts, this demon army is very slow to march because of the cold, but recently it has been going to march very quickly, and just yesterday the infantry commander Ziqi and the demon army fought each other in front of the enemy formation on the ice bridge, but it did not last long, and the casualties on both sides were not large. β
"But who is the leader of this demon army?"
Yolson replied, "According to the captured enemy soldiers, this demon army is led by the demon army's general, the Sword Qi Warrior. β
"Kunshang?" Connop mused, "why do I think this name is a little familiar?"
Jolson said: "What the general said should be Kuntai the Sword Spine, yes, according to the confession of the demon soldiers, Kunshang is the son of Kuntai the Sword Spine, the general of the Third Expeditionary Force of the Demon Race, who was defeated to the then Templar Alama in the Snow Wolf Ice Field more than ten years ago. β
"I see. "Cornop understood.
Yolson said again: "It is said that he is ashamed of his blood, and in the past ten years, he has trained hard to defeat the human race, of course, he also knows that Alama has defected to the demon clan and it is impossible to fight with it again." β
Knopp said: "If it weren't for the Snow Wolf Ice Field, which is separated by cliffs, I'm afraid the demon army would have captured the Ice Palace City a long time ago, but fortunately, this ice bridge is narrow and easy to defend, it is really God's eyes." β
"Indeed, if the enemy does not advance, there seems to be some kind of trickery, I have always thought so, but I have never been able to figure it out. Now that you have the Templars to help, we will be able to defeat this demon army in the same way that Alama defeated the Third Expeditionary Force more than ten years ago. β
After looking at the map, Konop sat back in his seat and said, "It's not that simple, I think if it wasn't for Mr. Alama personally going into battle to kill the demon army general Kuntai, there would be no turnaround at all." Kunshang is the son of Kuntai, and I think he must be well aware of this situation. But even so, we must defeat this demon army, and the other two demon armies have already marched towards the cities of Lost Dreams and Yavit Harbor behind us, and we must rush to rescue them. Okay, just rest for a day, understand that as soon as the day dawns, send troops. β
The next day, the head of the Templar Order, Copno, left a Templar team of FranΓ§on behind and led the other three teams to set out with the Ninth Crusader Army. However, the demon army only stuck to the camp and did not fight. On the white Snow Wolf Plateau, only the cold wind was whirring.
Jolson said to Cunop, "General, if the enemy doesn't fight, are we going to wait like this forever?"
"Of course not," replied Cunop, "for he wants to test our patience, for after a long time, our army will inevitably be tired, and then they will be in trouble if they lead them out again." You immediately order the stormtroopers to attack. β
"Yes. Jolson turned to a commander beside him and said, "Order the stormtroopers to attack the demon camp." β
However, to their surprise, the Demon Army Camp turned out to be an empty village. When the Crusader stormtroopers stormed the demon camp, they met with little resistance, and there was no one in the tent except for the soldiers who were guarding. The stormtrooper reported the incident to Cunop and Jorson, and they went to the demon camp to check it out, when an arrow rose into the sky, and the battle horns sounded around them, and the demons burst out from all sides.
The Knights Templar and the Crusaders were in a hurry, and the two armies of men and demons intersected and tore apart. Due to the sudden attack of the demon army, the human army appeared to be very passive, but fortunately, Konop immediately commanded the army to fight and retreat, and the casualties were not large, and the demon army did not take the opportunity to pursue.
