With Sarga completely dead, the battle at the gates of the city ended for the time being.

However, it didn't take long for the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance at the city gate to report that a large number of monsters were gathering outside the city.

"Tsk, it seems that the previous killing of chickens and monkeys didn't work, don't those monsters feel fear?" Premo couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Because in the battle just now, he and Charles were exhausted, and they couldn't continue to fight, so they had to play by Zelens himself.

But as the commander-in-chief, once Zelens reveals his full strength, the situation on the human side will be very dangerous, after all, no one can guarantee whether the demons will send other demon gods next, if it is even stronger than this one just now, it will be bad.

Zelens, though, isn't worried at all.

"It's okay, just with this group of monsters, I won't be able to use all my strength."

Premo also knows his father's strength, but he is afraid that the demon clan will have some conspiracy, such as the demon army, the dark knight, and the demon god have appeared, but the demon king is still missing.

According to the experience of those predecessors five hundred years ago, only the Demon King can command all the monsters to start a war, and now these monsters can attack human towns, does it mean that the Demon King has personally dispatched?

If the answer is yes, then is Zelens alone really sure to defeat the demons? The more Primo thought about it, the more worried he became.

After that, Zelens didn't say much, but led the army to start assembling outside the city gate to deal with the demon army.

There are nearly 10,000 soldiers on the human side, which is already all the troops that Baifeng Town can mobilize, on the other hand, the demon army, a large area of black pressure, can't be forgotten at a glance, and it is roughly estimated that there are 100,000.

Although these monsters are all phantom beasts that do not possess intelligence, and their appearance is similar to that of animals in nature, if they really fight, well-trained and cooperative soldiers will definitely not be easily defeated.

Obviously, the demons just want to win by numbers, and on average, each human soldier must kill ten monsters before they have a chance to win, but the soldiers are also ordinary humans, and they will feel tired after a long battle.

If the demons prolong this war, it will be very detrimental to the human race, after all, the monsters will not feel tired.

However, this is only a minor problem for Zelens, who is not like the average commander, who only gives orders from the rear of the battlefield, and as a sixth-ranked paladin, he can also act as a vanguard on the battlefield.

Subsequently, in order to make the soldiers fight more efficiently, Zelens ordered to go down and make the army line up in a unique formation.

This formation is divided into five parts, each part of 2,000 people, in the shape of a pentagram, Zelens personally led a part of the people at the forefront of the formation, they are responsible for facing the demon army head-on.

The two groups of soldiers were distributed on the left and right sides to prevent the monsters from flanking from the left and right, and the other two parts were located at the back of the formation, and they were close to the city walls, so they did not have to fight for the time being, but came on as substitutes when the first three groups of people were tired.

When the vanguard led by Zelens fights for a period of time, the right part will replace the vanguard force, and the replaced vanguard force will retreat to the left side, temporarily taking over the task of the left part, and the original left side of the force will move backwards.

After that, this kind of operation is repeated, and through the continuous rotation of five parts, the soldiers are able to work at their own and fight in the best condition.

Ten of them form a group, which cooperates with each other during the battle, five are responsible for attacking, and the other five are responsible for defense, and when the five major parts are alternated, the soldiers of each group will also alternate their respective tasks.

And the one who will always remain the same is Zelens, who will always stand at the forefront of the army, so that every soldier can see his heroic back, so that morale will also be boosted.

When everything was ready, the human army attacked first, and the monsters were still standing in place, as if waiting for the commander's orders, but they were waiting for a heavily armed human army.

Zelens was the first to come into contact with the monsters, and then he directly swung the giant hammer to smash the groups of monsters to the ground.

The soldiers behind him were also in high spirits and began to harvest monsters like mowing grass, in the process, the human soldiers had almost no loss, and even if they were, it was only because they were too nervous, for fear that the monsters would fight back, and they were accidentally hit by the monsters that fled in a hurry.

Fortunately, the team rescued them in time, and those unlucky soldiers were not trampled to death by monsters.

It didn't take long for a large number of monsters in front of him to be annihilated, but this number was nothing, and more monsters were still in the depths of the battlefield.

But even a brave man like Zelens did not dare to go behind enemy lines at will, he had studied a variety of tactics, one of which was to first let some of the weaker soldiers serve as cannon fodder on the front line, creating an illusion that their own combat effectiveness was very weak, and then lure the enemy to rush into the rear of all elite troops, and finally encircle and suppress.

In this way, the enemy's already high morale will be dealt a major blow and will become devastated as a result.

So, when the soldiers behind him wanted to continue to rush forward, Zelens hurriedly waved the command flag to calm them down, and at the same time let the five parts take turns.

Although the soldiers of the vanguard were all enthusiastic, they had to obey the orders of their commanders, so they had to retreat to the left and let the troops on the right replace them.

Zelens thought that this would foil the demons' plot, but the monsters in the rear began to move forward, and did not leave the elite behind, as he suspected.

Zelens had no choice but to continue to lead his troops into battle, and this time it was also very smooth, and after two charges, they almost annihilated more than 10,000 monsters.

But the more it went well, the more I felt that there was something greasy in it, and now, Zelens couldn't help but wonder, these monsters have no fighting will at all, so why are they gathered here?

Or they were waiting for the demon god named Salga, who had already died at the hands of humans, and of course it was possible that the new commander had not yet arrived.

But no matter what, they can't get the monsters close to the town, so Zelens has to keep the troops in place, and as long as the monsters don't take the initiative to approach, they won't continue to fight.

After a while, according to statistics, they have eliminated about 50,000 monsters, and the loss of humans is in the single digits.

This is extremely abnormal, the strength of humans and demons is so disparity, but humans have exchanged almost half of the monsters at the cost of a few people.

Zelens couldn't figure it out now, he couldn't help but wonder, are these monsters all here to send them to death?

At this point, just when he was at his wit's end, Charles and Primo finally rested, and they rode up to him.

When the surrounding soldiers saw that the three commanders were present, their morale suddenly became high, and they wanted to kill the demon clan directly, but Zelens still stopped them.

"Father, how's it going?" Primo stepped forward to ask.

“…… See for yourself, I really don't understand. Zelens shook his head.

When they were resting on the city wall just now, they observed the enemy's situation by the way, so they could also see that the demon army had almost been reduced by half, and now that they were on the battlefield, they were even more sure of this.

But they didn't understand Zelens's approach, since the two battles just now were overwhelming victories for humans, why didn't they take advantage of the victory to pursue and then completely destroy these monsters?

And the current situation is so simple, although there are many monsters, they have no ability to resist in front of humans, and if they continue to fight, victory will be a matter of time.

Zelens seemed to see their doubts and told them his concerns.

"Uh, so you think the remaining half of the monsters are likely to be elite troops?"

"That's right, the army we lead is the entire combat power of Baifeng Town, if it is calculated by the demons and suffers heavy losses, then it will be impossible to protect this town in the future."

"However, there is no way to go on like this, as long as these monsters stay near the city gate, it is impossible for us to disband the army, and the nerves of the soldiers must also be tense, which is a big test for us humans." Primo asks what the problem is.

"Yes," Charles agreed with him, and then made his own suggestion, "Well, I will lead a force with Premo to rush over, even if it is a conspiracy of the demons, the large army will not lose much, what do you think?" ”

"This ......," Zelens lost in thought.

He did think that this proposal was good, but if it was really a trap, then his son's life would be in danger, and although he had fought for the good of the empire all his life, he would still hesitate when he really wanted to sacrifice his family.

Charles probably understood what he was thinking, so he said with a smile.

"Alright then, I'll just lead the troops alone, after all, Primo is a noble paladin, and if my proposal is damaged, then my sin will be great."

However, when Zelens heard such words, he felt very uncomfortable.

He has always been a very enlightened man, and in his eyes there is not much difference between people, and he treats nobles and commoners equally.

But the meaning of Charles's words seems to be saying that the paladin is more noble than his regimental leader, and he can't let the paladin die if he wants to die.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally spoke, but he made an incredible decision.

"Chief Charles, could you please listen to my proposal?"

"Of course, you're the commander-in-chief."

"Just let me go with you, not with the soldiers, but let them stay where they are, and if something happens to us, at least Primo can take my place and let him lead the soldiers in battle."

"......" Charles began to think about the feasibility of this.

Zelens thought he was scared, so he added.

"Actually, you don't have to go, just let me test the monster alone."

"How can this work? You're the commander-in-chief, and if you're all killed, what will we do then? Charles thought about it for a while, but still objected.

"Yes, father, I don't have the power to succeed you." Primo also persuaded.

"Well, well." Zelens sighed.

In fact, his command skills were not outstanding, but he had simply experienced several wars and learned valuable experience from other commanders.

But he is a warrior after all, and his combat skills are his strength compared to his command ability, but now he can only operate on the battlefield as a commander.

After a while, when everyone was depressed, the remaining demon army finally began to move, and a figure appeared at the front of their army, apparently the new commander of the demon race.

"Sure enough, those monsters are waiting for their commander." Zelens couldn't help but exclaim.

"Is that guy also a demon god?"

"I don't know, I'll have to make contact," Zelens whispered, then commanded the soldiers behind him, "Guys, get ready for battle, it's going to be a tough battle this time." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately made a loud and uniform sound, and they had been waiting for this moment.

Afterwards, the humans once again charged at the approaching monsters.
