Dawn sent two troops this time. One is a knight brigade full of 10,000 horses, and the other is a mixed team of 10,000 people. Although stationed in Dawn City, both the Knights of Dawn and the Beamon Army are known for their field battles. So as soon as they left the city, these two troops swooped down on the demon troops outside the city like tigers descending from the mountain.

The battle at the beginning was very smooth, and there were not many ways for the cavalry to charge in groups, not to mention the Beamon troops with strong impact. However, when they rushed into the area of the demons' fortifications, due to the many obstacles, the cavalry and Beamon's charge slowed down, and then gradually fell into a stalemate.

For the sudden attack of Dawn City, the demon side was also a little caught off guard. Like humans, demons and humans are also inexperienced in warfare. And there are two reasons here: internal and external:

The external cause is actually very simple, that is, insufficient preparation for large-scale war. Since the demons and humans have not had a large-scale war for countless years, coupled with the different environments of the Yuansheng Continent and the Demon Realm, the focus of the war between the two sides has completely changed, so the combined mixed operations of the human troops, especially the large-scale cavalry of the human race, are not suitable for the demon side at all.

This kind of discomfort is not something that can be understood by a small-scale fight in the lava god ruins, let alone by sending a few spies to obtain information. In other words, be sure to fight a few real battles and learn from experience. Or rather, to exchange your own blood for adaptation.

And this time, the reason why the demons want to deploy a large-scale force in the lava god ruins is to attack the east and west. Through such sounds, the main force of the human race is attracted. And it can allow the main force of the demon clan to smoothly attack the Yuansheng Continent through another channel.

Of course, while striking at the same time, he also understands the tactical play of human beings. In fact, today, not only the forces of the demon clan are fighting back, experimenting with various fighting methods. And behind the demon troops. There are also a large number of people with magic rubbings who are recruiting the battle situation. In fact, just like Dawn City, the demons also regarded this battle as a temptation.

And the internal causes are equally uncomplicated. It is precisely because the demon forces here are feints that only the main forces of the seven fierce clans that often appear in the lava god ruins. And demon races such as the Yuan race, the Yayuan race, and the miscellaneous race have not appeared, let alone any "modified people", "fierce beasts" and other types of troops.

In fact, this is a kind of strategic deception, a kind of misdirection, just to make the human race underestimate the true strength of the demon army. But such strategic deception also comes at a cost. This will result in the disability of the Demon Army's troops. In other words, it is easy to cause the demon troops to not cooperate, and the weaknesses exposed will cause many unnecessary losses.

So at the very beginning, the demon army fell into chaos. In particular, the losses of the Demon Boy troops at the forefront were not small. However, the army of the demon clan is also well-trained, and the main force is quickly mobilized.

And Commander Cutler and others did not go out of the city to command. They had been watching the battle from the walls. Finding that the main force of the demons was moving up, Commander Cutler immediately withdrew his troops without any love of war. Although the demon army organized a pursuit, it quickly retreated under the cover of dense long-range weapons on Dawn City.

This time, Dawn City dispatched an army of 20,000 troops. There are 50,000 or 60,000 demons who have been engaged in battle. In terms of the number of participants, this is also a battle of considerable scale. But both humans and demons chose to separate with one touch, in fact, they both had tentative thoughts.

Wait until the troops enter the city. Commander Cutler immediately decided: "Guys, I should be right. Now the strength of the demon clan on the other side should be around one or two hundred thousand. But they built a camp that was very large, and they did everything they could to prevent our destruction. I estimate that there will be a steady stream of demon armies coming in the future. It could end up in millions!"

"Huh?" the Marquis of Jinlunga felt a little skeptical, "Your Excellency, Commander, if I am not mistaken, as you mentioned a few days ago, there is no way to pass through millions of troops in the Lava God Ruins, at most three or four hundred thousand. Otherwise, the logistics will not be able to support it. I'm not denying your military judgment. Compared to your Excellency, I can only say that I am a little learned. But there is no logistics. The total number of demon armies won't be that much, right?"

The Marquis of Kinlunga pointed out one of the major shortcomings of the lava ruins. Due to the hot and dry environment of the Lava Divine Ruins, there is very little water in the Divine Ruins, which cannot support the water consumption of too many troops. As for transporting water from the Demon Realm to the Yuansheng Continent? Small-scale operations for a short period of time are fine, but a long-term all-out war simply cannot afford to carry water.

In fact, this can be seen from the arrangement of the human defense line at the entrance of the lava god ruins. With the cutting-edge Dawn City as the core, the main purpose of the complete defense line composed of a series of fortresses arranged by humans outside the lava god ruins is not to block the exit of the lava god ruins. Rather, it is to ensure that the demon army cannot go near the water source. That's why it's possible for the demons to build fortifications under Dawn City. Because there is such a space. Of course, it's all spaces without water.

And over the years, humans have also repeatedly reconnoitred the situation inside the lava god ruins. Suffice it to say, it is completely well understood. So by calculating the amount of water consumed, I came to the conclusion that the demons could not deploy an army of millions. So after such calculations. The standard of the design of the defense line of Dawn City is also to defend against the army of millions of demons. Of course, there will definitely be some margin, but it is also impossible to make the margin particularly wide. Because it is impossible to waste too much money and materials.

Therefore, in response to the question raised by the Marquis of Kinglunga, Commander Cutler nodded in agreement. However, as a commander-in-chief, you must take into account extreme situations. For example, the demons have sent hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of troops against common sense. After all, through space magic items such as storage rings and storage bags, the water problem can be solved in a short time. Even the demons can use cannon fodder tactics to maintain a total of one million troops, but they continue to send cannon fodder to follow suit. After all, a dead man would never need to drink water.

So Commander Cutler explained with a smile: "I just scouted the size of the demon camp, which is enough to accommodate a million troops. Tentatively attacking, the demons are desperately trying to prevent the destruction of the established camp. So I suspect that we are about to face a demon invasion. The survival of the various races of Yuansheng is a major matter, and it is impossible to be too careful. And the material reserves here are fine, but the more troops the better. Therefore, I will immediately inform Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Pope that they should hurry up the dispatch of reinforcements. ”

Everyone nodded their heads at Commander Cutler's caution. However, everyone didn't know that the direction of the demons' main attack was not the lava god ruins in front of them...... (To be continued.) )
