So, after running forward for a few tens of meters, it suddenly fell to the ground, slid out, twitched a few times, and then remained motionless.

Looking at the 20-meter-tall Tanari in front of him, Simba looked calm and seemed to know everything.

"Don't move, wait for my instructions!" Simba roared.

All officers and men of the assault battalion will not disobey the orders of the young commander. Because when entering this formation, almost everyone, like it or not, has fought Simba. Everyone, whether warlords, paladins, or mages, was subdued by him.

Soon, a dozen Tanari crossed the line and rushed to the front line of the pioneer camp.

Simba still did not give the order to attack, but killed a dozen Tanari alone.

Then, the second batch of Tanari rushed out.

Simba roared, "All the generals will start charging, and the paladins and mages will not move for the time being!"

At the sound of the order, 600 generals roared and began to charge south!

When these generals began to charge, their momentum was astonishing, and their footsteps were loud. Even in the face of countless Tanari, they are no slouch.

When the Warlord rushed into the Tanari and began to kill in all directions, the number of Tanari who broke through the spatial rift suddenly increased a lot.

Simba immediately gave another order: "All the generals must retreat 50 meters to the north!" All mages are ready!"

Ever since Simba killed the first Tanari, every order he has given has been firm and without hesitation.

It all seemed to have been predicted in his mind countless times, but only at the right time.

This shows how well prepared Simba is for this battle.

As the line pushes back 50 meters, Simba yells, "Mage team prepare!"

At one point, the perimeter of the spatial rift was surrounded by many powerful magical shocks.

Rains of flames, towering earthen walls and boulders, dense and sharp icicles, blade-like winds, and more. Too much magic falls on the same area, emitting a brilliant and colorful glow that completely illuminates the night sky!

With the death of the Great Army of Tanari, their numbers also increased.

If one of the Tanaris in front of it accidentally falls to the ground, it will be trampled to death from behind by its companions, and it will soon turn into a puddle of flesh.

The strong stench could no longer be dispelled. It really stinks.

However, in the face of the fierce battle situation at this time, all the officers and men of the assault army did not dare to be distracted.

The mages kept chanting incantations, and the magic continued to shoot at the dense Tanari.

Countless Tanari were either shot through the head by icicles, smashed into mud by boulders, or torn to shreds by high winds. The scene was extremely disgusting and cruel.

However, so far, five hundred paladins have not attacked. Still sitting on horseback, with long swords in hand, they quietly waited for Simba's orders.

On the current battlefield, Tanari's corpses are piling up, and the core lines of both sides are slowly moving north.

Naturally, the Vanguard suffered casualties in the process. Although these Tanari are only low-level demons, and their strength is only equivalent to that of medium-level demonic beasts, there are too many of them to support.

A warlord can kill three or four Tanari with a powerful saber in one fell swoop. But when he was besieged by hundreds of Tanari at the same time? How can he kill all the enemies?

As a result, in just a few minutes, many fighters were wounded. Their bodies are covered in scratches or bites. Despite being so physically tough, it can't stop so many Tanari.

At this moment, behind the mountain of Tanari's corpses, there was a sharp roar. The sound was so loud that it made people feel a tingling in the eardrums.

Simba knew the real test was finally coming. The line of defense of the spatial rift may have left a gap. Over time, the gap will be widened like a levee.

"All paladins, charge!"

With Simba's roar, five hundred paladins raised their swords one after another, and the moonlight shone on their sharp blades, reflecting a glittering cold light.

It is only in this flat grassland that the paladin can bring out the real reality

Force and advantage!

The horse's iron hooves stomped heavily on the ground, making a dull sound, and the momentum of the ascent rose instantly.

Although there are only 500 paladins, their momentum is very strong and they will not lose to the endless Tanari on the opposite side!

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves continued. Five hundred paladins lined up and rushed south from both sides of the line. It's fast, like a high tide.

Moreover, the paladin's war horses are all excellent war horses selected from the savannah. Once they run, they get faster and faster, like the wind. This was still carried out with the horses wearing tough and heavy armor.

The paladins marched south, and the Tanari lunged north. More than ten seconds later, the two sides finally collided violently!

Although the number of paladins was far from that of Tanari, when they attacked each other, they were unable to hold each other.

Tanari could not use their numerical superiority to completely defeat the paladin army, and the paladins could not kill so many Tanari quickly.

Each paladin's sword causes a huge movement. The sword light was dazzling, and sometimes a single sword could kill seven or eight Tanari in an instant, because they were so dense that even the horses could not move. The paladins are completely surrounded!

However, the Paladins played a key role in slowing down the myriad Tanari.

This will not help as soon as the tempo of the powerful Tanari picks up, and the other scouts in the rear are already in position several times.

Seeing that the front line was once again deadlocked, Simba shouted again, "Earth mage, it's your turn!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that all the earth mages behind him had a dull yellow light on them.

Many traces of cracks began to appear on the ground beneath the paladin. Soon, the ground slowly rises and towering rocks rise like mountains. These towering boulders sent the paladins into the sky, temporarily avoiding being surrounded by the Tanari.

Many Tanari lay on the rising rocks, trying to continue their entanglement with the paladins, but were cut by the knights with their swords, fell hard, and were trampled into pulp by their running companions.

The paladins quickly cleared the Tanari left on top of the rock, and then approached the edge of the cliff in an orderly manner!

The next moment, almost at the same time, all the paladins rode their horses, charged a few steps, and jumped down one by one.

Are they killing themselves again? Of course not!

They were in the air, clad in horse armor, with huge wings spread one-on-one, slowing down their rapidly descending figures.

It turned out that the heavy armor worn by these horses was specially designed by dwarven craftsmen, and a pair of wings were hidden inside for flight.

The pair of huge wings flapped incessantly, and all the paladins circled in the air. After rearranging the circular formation, they began to dive down with their "flying wings".

In fact, Simba saw such a scene for the first time.

Simba also had a whim for such an idea before he started asking the Dwarven Craftsmen to transform 500 sets of "flying armor" day and night.

Until then, Simba had no idea about the role of this armor.

But judging from the current situation, the effect can be said to be very good.

After getting used to the "flying wings", the paladins began to attack the Tanari on the ground.

The crazy Tanari raised their heads and launched a counterattack, but the "flying wings" were so fierce that they were not given any chance at all!

Therefore, Tanari's intention to continue his northward rush around the towering boulder is almost impossible. Because the constant accumulation of corpses affected their route and forward speed to a certain extent.

Every time the Winged Paladin flapped its wings and flew back into the air looking for the next chance to dive, the mage would unleash a massive magical bombardment on Tanari!

When the paladin rushes down again, the mage will stop casting the spell at the right time to avoid accidental damage to allies.

As for the general's mission, the easier way is to deal with the Tanari who are lucky enough to escape and prevent them from breaking through the defense line to the north. qδ

This is what the vanguard should do. So at the moment, their plans are going very well.

But the good times didn't last long. Almost half an hour

Later, the corpses of Tanari here piled up like a mountain, and the front line of the vanguard was forced to move hundreds of meters north.

But to the south of the spatial rift, a loud horn sounded.

Simba looked up to see in the distance, but Tanari's bodies were piled up too high for him to see clearly from the ground.

So Simba had to run a few steps, and then he jumped into the sky one by one and looked south!

However, near the spatial rift in the distance, also known as the place of the magma trolls, there has always been a large number of Abyss Guards. As a rough estimate, there are at least a few hundred.

Faced with the obstacle of the spatial rift, those trolls completely ignored it and strode directly through. While the cracks can also cause some damage to their bodies, leaving a lot of scars, it doesn't stop them from moving forward.

The magma troll's body is too strong and tenacious, so Simba also knows very well that the spatial rift doesn't have much effect.

At the same time, the magma trolls began throwing a large amount of flint stone at the place.

Some flints hit the vanguards directly, while others landed on the pile of Tanari corpses piled up in front, burning a large number of corpses to ashes.

In this way, the obstacles that had originally blocked the onslaught of the demon army would soon be cleared. The demons rushed north in a frenzy.

At this time, Simba knew that the vanguard had basically completed its mission and could be heroic!

He immediately shouted to all the soldiers, "Warriors, fight! Each of our names will be engraved on the battle monument at the back of Ancient Star City!"

As soon as his voice fell, all the vanguard warriors in the heavens and on the earth shouted in unison, "Fight to the death!"

At this moment, the trace of fear left in the bottom of my heart has long since disappeared. On the contrary, they are full of blood and determination!

Death is not terrible! Dying for victory is the honor of every warrior!

Simba is the first to charge towards the demon army. And every vanguard he carefully selected is naturally not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

So, they followed in Simba's footsteps and launched a final assault on the demon army.

The warriors are unstoppable, and the paladins are swift as the wind. At this moment, the mages in the rear also showed the momentum of the mages.

Now that you've completed your mission as a vanguard army, let's have a good time!

In the future, their names will be engraved on that monument,

However, when they collide with the demon army again, the sound of horses' hooves is heard from the north.

Looking around, a team of more than 5,000 knights arrived from the north.

The strength of each of them is not too high. The strongest is the Paladin, while the weaker is the Rank 7 or 8 Knight. They combined armor and swords. They look very majestic and powerful, no worse than 500 paladins!

Even if the strength is not too strong, the army of more than 5,000 people still has an indomitable attitude!

Faced with an endless stream of demonic armies, they stopped without hesitation and drove their horses all the way south.

They soon passed by the vanguard led by Simba and rushed into the demon army.

At this moment, an incomparably tragic war officially began.

......

By this time, many vanguard scouts were already distributed on the southern battlefield of the savannah. Some of them continued to move south to support the front, while others remained put, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

In fact, the reason for this is simple. This is to extend the battle line and prevent the demon army from rising.

The exchange of information between each phalanx was also very important, as they had to master the layout of the entire southern battlefield according to the plan that Ace had made before.

As a result, Agent Thornrose was unusually busy, shuttling back and forth between dozens of phalanxes of different sizes.

In addition, the elements make night owls, which breed in large numbers to transmit messages, also extremely important in this war.

As a result, the number of letters between the Vanguard Scouts and the number of letters sent to the Ancient Star City in the rear was very high.

More than half an hour later, an urgent letter was sent back to the headquarters of Ancient Star City.

Ace looked at the letter, his eyes cold, his expression undulating. In the end, he just sighed, crumpled the letter into powder, and blew it away between heaven and earth.

Although he had long expected this outcome, he was still saddened when the moment actually came.

Ace told the messenger beside him, "Tell Zavalado the news. He has the right to know.".

After the messenger left, Ace took another long breath, and his calm heart couldn't help but ripple a little.

The message of the letter was simple: "The first vanguard troops were all killed, and no one survived, including the young commander."

Ace knew that Simba must have fought until the last moment. Ace has always paid tribute to such a brave and good fighter who is not afraid of life and death.

Of course, Ace had already anticipated his results. At the moment when Simba became the leader of the Vanguard Army for the second time, such an outcome was doomed.

This is the way he chooses, and it is the end of his life's journey.

Ace stood in Ancient Star City and looked north. A huge stone monument quietly rises.

When the battle between man and demon ends, the stone tablet will be filled with names, which is a historical testimony of each hero, and they will be remembered forever.

At the top of the stele, there will be a resounding name - Simba.

Of course, the war was not over yet, and no one could be sure how many names would be engraved on that stele, or whether the stele would be preserved forever. After all, it is difficult to say whether this war will be won or not. If the demon wins, the so-called "monument" will surely fall.

However, with such a huge stone monument as a backing, all the new coalition forces involved in this war should be a little proud.

Although many of the generals in the army were saddened by the news of Simba's death, their determination to prepare for war was not affected, because they knew that the war had just begun and that more would be lost after the next one, so they had no time to grieve.

The only thing they can do now is to prepare well for the war and then go all out to complete revenge for their dead companions!

That night, Gu Xingcheng kept receiving letters, none of which were good news.

The arrival of each letter represents the demise of a vanguard scouting army, without exception!

There are so many demons that they can completely use the advantage of numbers to destroy the defense line!

Many times, Ace can't help but want to take action. He wanted to leave the Ancient Star City and rush to the southernmost front line to stop the endless demon army. But there was always a voice in his heart telling him that he couldn't do it!

As the highest leader in the First League, Ace must always be rational and pay attention to the overall situation. Rushing forward will only allow the most cunning Lord of the Abyss to seize the opportunity to find the loophole.

At that time, it will be not the vanguard scouts of the front line who will be sacrificed, but the entire alliance!

Soon, the sky became brighter, and the eastern sky began to turn slightly white. Soon, a new day will come.

It's been almost two hours since the last letter was sent back, which shouldn't be bad news, suggesting that one of the fronts should be temporarily delaying the demon's advance northward.

Other soldiers may have anticipation in their hearts and want to wait for the first good news.

However, Ace is well aware that the fact that he has not received this letter for a long time can only indicate that the battle situation ahead is extremely tragic.

As for the so-called "first good news", this is not possible.

Ace picked himself up again and looked south. Finally, about 100 miles from here, he noticed a very chaotic aura. That should be the main battlefield of the Southern Front.

"So fast?" Ace couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect that the demon army would advance so fast that it would almost break through 80% of the defense line of the southern battlefield in one night.

If it follows this rate, it is estimated that the next day, the demon army will enter the city!

At the beginning of dawn, the northern side of the huge defensive line behind Ancient Star City was already very busy.

Almost everyone knew that the war in the South had begun, but most of them did not know how brutal it was.

However, for them, there is an invincible *** here, so

With their peace of mind, as long as they have him, they will not fail.

After all, when the leader named "Ace" turned the tide, the first battle of human demons was won.

What does it mean to face the King of the Abyss without losing? In the hearts of all, their *** is put in the highest position.

Moreover, even if the fighting in the south is tense, it should not have much impact on the ordinary people hiding behind the defense line of the magic circle.

In addition, it is very reassuring to look at the phalanx defense line that runs from east to west and towers into the sky.

No matter how the South was occupied, the people on the back side still lived a normal life.

Of course, there are people who are not, such as those craftsmen who are building huge stone monuments.

They knew the inside story of the war, and they knew what the stele was really for.

Once the stele is built, the people of the Southern Front will send a list asking the craftsmen to engrave their names on the stele!

Each name represents a heroic sacrifice of a hero. After the war, the stele will be full of names!

The construction of the stele was not very smooth, why? Because most of the able-bodied young people of the savannah volunteered to join the First Alliance army in order to realize their self-worth in this war!

Therefore, there has always been a shortage of young people in the rear. In order to solve this problem, Snoopy, the "invisible hand", deliberately drew thousands of craftsmen from various empires of the New Alliance to build this "monument" destined to become famous for thousands of years.

Now that the transmission array is up and running, it is very convenient to transport supplies and manpower.

The construction of this "monument" was mainly carried out by three famous engineers from different forces. One is from the Dwarven Kingdom, one is from Yalijiang Province, and the other is from the Yama Empire.

At this time, the three of them were gathering together, looking at the huge foundation in front of them, arguing about the construction of the stone monument.

At this time, a messenger from the south came here and brought a list.

The three engineers in charge of building the "monument" were silent at this point. No one is arguing, because they all stick to their point of view.

When one of the engineers took the list from the herald, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

For this scene, no one around him laughed at him, because everyone knew what this list meant and how heavy it was!

The famous engineer took a deep breath, swallowed his grief, and slowly opened the list.

He saw the first name - Simba!

At Ace's request, a carver carved the word "Simba" on the top of a boulder. According to the plan, this boulder will be the top of the "monument"!

......

At noon, the sun was shining in the south, but suddenly there was a loud thunderstorm, and thick clouds gathered and completely obscured the sun.

Here, the sky directly above the Ancient Star City was still cloudless.

And just like that, a very strange scene was formed. The whole sky seemed to be split in two by a sharp sword. The sun was still shining in the south, and it was pitch black in the north, like night.

At this time, the dividing line is moving north.

As long as you are not blind, you know that the demon army is rapidly approaching.

Due to the spectacular spectacle that Ancient Star City was able to see, it meant that the Vanguard Scouts sent out earlier had been completely destroyed!

Tens of thousands of advance troops were all killed at this time. Is Ace ruthless? It's impossible.

What's more, many of the Vanguard Scouts this time are members of Thorn Rose!

On that day, as the strange "line" in the air continued to approach, the ground of Ancient Star City began to tremble slightly.

Ace turned to look behind him. When his eyes met Ridal, he nodded firmly.

Soon, after a spring rain in Ancient Star City, dozens of mobile towers rose from the ground like bamboo shoots. The turret is covered with muzzles.

On the ground next to the moving tower, huge catapults and crossbows were slowly pushed out, forming a seemingly heavy defensive line.

Ace looked out over the vast grasslands and soon saw the abyss army ahead. not

Counting Tanari ran towards the Ancient Star City like a black tide.

At such a speed and at such a distance, when the army of the Abyss rushed towards the Ancient Star City, it would definitely be devastating.

So Ace must not let that happen.
