Glens took the text handed by his father and reluctantly patted the horse away.

"Silly boy, is it fun to fight? You're already twenty years old, when will you be more mature?" Major General Long Ria retracted his gaze and turned to the herald and said, "The whole army is on alert!

And on the walls of Tucheng, Cohen Al Ketda's pre-war meeting is also underway.

"Obviously, we can't go through the Grand Canyon," said Marfa, the chief liaison officer, "and the Winged Scouts have scouted along the Grand Canyon, and the refugees in the canyon show no signs of moving forward, which means that we can't get past even if we kill all the refugees who are stuck here." ”

"Not to mention killing, just now a lot of soldiers ran to the back of the city wall and gave their rations to their relatives under the wall," said Judge Jack, "even the soldiers of the law enforcement regiment are like this, and the officers have a lot of effort to drive them down, if the soldiers want the soldiers to slaughter their own villagers...... I suspect they will rebel right away. ”

"I suspect that the exit on the other side of the canyon has been blocked," Cohen Al said, looking at the map, "and they are trying to encircle us here." ”

"Sir, you mean to say," Moya whispered, "that we have been betrayed?"

"Not necessarily, it could be something else," Cohen Al Kida glanced at the officers beside him, thinking that now was not the time to investigate the cause, "Send out the wingmen to clear it up immediately, but it will take time, and we need to arrange the defense first." ”

While the crowd was deliberating, a scout officer ran up and handed over the information to Cohen Al Kerda.

"We've got a little trouble," Cohen Kerda glanced at the intel. "The enemy's follow-up forces appeared. Another corps of light cavalry. Arrived here in an hour. ”

"Order! Send four regiments to line up one mile in front of Tucheng, cover other troops to set traps to strengthen the city wall, all the houses in Tucheng are demolished to build defenses, and the equipment regiment is stepping up the production of all kinds of defensive equipment," Cohen Al Al Keda put together the information in his hands, "The logistics regiment counts the combat materials and restricts supplies from now on...... Lasts for ten days. ”

"Yes!"

"Report to the sir, the enemy army is 10,000 troops under the city!"

"Are there any signs of movement of the enemy's main forces?" asked Major General Longria.

"Nope!"

"Where is our follow-up force?"

"The nearest follow-up force is the Twenty-Seventh Corps," replied the adjutant of Longria. "Arrive in an hour at most!"

"Order the regiment to spread out and prepare for battle," said Major General Longria, "and slowly advance to a distance of three miles from the other side, and do not attack without my orders!"

"Yes!"

In a short time, the whole army had spread out into three roads, keeping a mile away from each other, and each road was divided into three teams: front, middle, and rear. At the sound of the trumpet, all the troops were slowly advancing in order.

The 26th Legion of the Demon Alliance is actually the Royal Second Guards Legion from the Demon Wells Empire! The style is tough and especially known for long-distance running, and it has been used to seal the enemy's retreat in previous wars of gods and demons. It's a very useful "big stick", and it's the first time to run down after an enemy like this.

As commander, Major General Longria was very cautious in this operation. Because he knew that the honor of the Wells Empire depended on his own - another Legion-level commander of the Empire, Major General Hampton, had died at the hands of the Phantom Legion. The Wells Empire was already sparsely populated, and the legions that could fight could be counted with one hand...... There were only two legions in this war between gods and demons, and for this reason, they were ridiculed by Marshal Verlaine for a while.

The adjutant patted his horse and asked, "Report to the sir, the enemy is building a defense!

"Let them repair," Rear Admiral Lonria remained quiet, "and the battle plan did not require us to take the initiative. ”

"But ......," said the adjutant, "once their defenses are complete, we will have a hard time attacking." ”

"It is enough for us to do our part," said Ronria lightly, "as for the attack, that is the business of the follow-up troops, and let their commanders go to the trouble of this brain." ”

Indeed, the battle plan of the military headquarters was only to let himself inspect the camp section of the dividing line between gods and demons, and if he found that the enemy was closely following and waiting for reinforcements, as long as he did not run away by the enemy, he was not prepared to do anything else, lest something go wrong and be caught and hanged by the military department.

As a result, both sides lined up in formation to hold each other, whether it was the Demon Coalition on horseback or the pikemen of the "Phantom Legion" standing under the earthen city, they were silent...... Except for the occasional wind, the only sound of piling on the walls could be heard in the open field.

An hour later, the follow-up forces of the Demon Coalition arrived.

Here came the 27th Legion of the Demon Alliance, which is a special unit. Although the soldiers of the entire legion were armed with war horses, they were not cavalry, and they were more adept at riding horses to the battlefield and then dismounting and attacking with infantry...... Because they are from the wealthy Brouk Empire, it is made up of two elite fighter groups.

"Go and tell their commander that we can keep watch for another three hours," said Major General Longria to the herald, "and they may rest." ”

"Sir, why do we have to stand for three more hours?" the adjutant asked puzzled, "The people of the Twenty-seventh Legion are not good birds, and they fought with us last time. ”

"You don't know this, our front commander is following the 28th Army Corps, and the 28th Army Corps will not be here for three hours," said Major General Long Riya, "and when the commander arrives, he will naturally give the enemy a dismount...... He's not going to let the hussars who have been standing for a noon day do this, is he?"

"I see!" the adjutant suddenly realized, "the rested guy takes the lead!"

"You have to remember that fighting a war is not an easy matter," Major General Longria shook his head habitually, "and it needs to be dealt with...... It's everyone but yourself. ”

After the commanders of the two legions communicated with each other, the soldiers of the 27th Legion dismounted and rested, and some soldiers erected a fence six miles from Tucheng. Start camping.

The sound of piling from the city walls became more intense......

Bulke's capital is Fort Fox. The location of the headquarters of the Demon Alliance.

"Report!" a colonel burst into the intelligence department. Frantically waving the information in his hand, "Major General! Major General Sveis Hepburn!

"Inform the other commanders, and go to Marshal Verlane at once!" Sveis threw away the file in his hand, snatched the information from the colonel's hand, and ran towards Marshal Verlon's room like a gust of wind.

The senior commanders of the military department had never tried to be in one place in such a short time, and by the time Major General Sveys reported to Marshal Verlane halfway through, the heads of the military department had already filled Marshal Verlon's room for a while. In the marshal's room, the star shone brightly - Major General Sveis had the lowest rank among them.

“...... The Phantom Legion has been driven out of Camp by Gironde, and they are being followed by the Twenty-sixth Legion as they retreat," Major General Sveth pointed to the map spread out on the table, "The Twenty-sixth Legion is the fastest light cavalry in the coalition, there is no reason to lose it! Behind them are the Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth Legions! These three legions belong to the second theater of operations, and there is no problem in cooperating." Plus the five slave legions that arrived later...... The enemy army has fallen into a dead position, and we are already sure to win with 350,000 against 60,000!"

"I've never been happy in this time, and I didn't feel a sense of accomplishment even when the Divine Alliance admitted defeat and signed the agreement...... For me, only the total annihilation of the Phantom Legion is something to be happy about!" Marshal Verlaine stood up from his chair, "You know Svis. You have brought me the best news of this great war! I want to thank you all in the last battle of my military career. You guys helped me get to a perfect end!"

"Marshal, you should invite us to drink!" said one of the admirals.

"As long as the news of the total annihilation of the Phantom Legion is confirmed, I will give each of you ten barrels of good red wine!" Marshal Verlaine's face was full of red light, "and send each of you three top singers and dancers!plus five Uruk maids!"

"Haha! The three main battle legions are the elite of the second war zone!" said a lieutenant general with a laugh, "and five more slave legions will be added - the marshal can't help if you want to be stingy!"

"Hehe......"

"I've got to make a new dress......"

"Your Excellency the Chief Officer, the marshal will send three top singing and dancing girls! In your body, it seems that you should start abstinence from today, otherwise you will have to find someone to help you......"

"What? Do you want to compare and see......"

Amid the laughter of a group of generals, Major General Sveis quietly exited the marshal's room. He walked slowly down the corridor, his head bowed slightly, his fingers lightly drawing circles on the hilt of the sword, and his extremely excited mood was filled with a little regret.

As one of the makers of a series of plans, no one knows better than him how much it cost to capture the Phantom Legion's demonic alliance - not only to cede an empire to the Phantom Legion, but also to end the war of gods and demons prematurely.

"But this qiē is worth it......" Major General Sweis took out a copy of the text from his bosom, and he had read it several times every day for the past few days, and he could already memorize the contents.

Top Secret: Overview of the Ninth Legion of the Divine Alliance.

The Ninth Army Corps of the Divine Coalition Army was temporarily formed one year before the war by merging the original 22nd Army Corps of the Divine Coalition Army with the original 22nd Army Corps as the main body. Its soldiers were all slaves recruited before the war, most of them came from the dividing line between gods and demons, and their racial composition was complex and their combat effectiveness was low. The commander of the Ninth Legion was the Blessed Knight, Count Cohen Kerda.

Cohen Al Cadda, now eighteen years old, is a member of the Divine Alliance of the Sbia Empire, a hereditary nobleman. In his early years, he attended the Royal Academy of the Sbia Empire, but was later expelled for bad behavior. At the age of sixteen, he was made a baron and became the governor of the dark province of the Sbia Empire.

He was lustful and had three wives at the age of sixteen. He behaved obscenity and brutality by nature, and once slaughtered more than 300 officers and officers under the establishment of the Ninth Army Corps. Empty-eyed and arrogant, he frantically robbed friendly troops and convoys dozens of times before the war, and even led the army to besiege and rob the general munitions depot. Outstanding ability and unique methods of military management and training......

The top-secret text is from the military headquarters of the Divine Alliance, including the introduction of this legion, the resume of Cohen Al Kuida, and even the correspondence between Coen Al Eda and the military headquarters of the Divine Alliance! This was also the only thing that the Divine Coalition paid when the armistice was signed, and they used this document to avoid the fate of at least ten legions being annihilated.

"Eighteen-year-old commander. It's a little smaller than me. "Major General Sveis didn't look any further. Instead, he sighed regretfully, "I wish I could meet this strange guy......"

"Be careful!" a hoarse voice rang out over the city walls, "Magic-Attack!"

Hearing the alarm, Cohen Kaida, who was wearing a silver blessed knight's armor, looked up and saw that a medium-sized magic ball flew out from front of the enemy formation and headed straight for the city wall, only to crash into the barrier and dissipate.

The soldiers who were reinforcing the walls did not even raise their heads, and were protected by their own magicians. They're seizing this moment to do their thing. The commanders said that for every point of thickening of the wall, the chances of victory on their side increased by one point, and for each point of heightened, the enemy army would die a few more. The soldiers did not know much strategy, but they could cope with simple arithmetic problems.

In just two days, not only did the originally two-person high city wall become five people high, but all the houses in the earthen city were torn down, and a labyrinth was built on the basis of the original messy streets. It is not an exaggeration to say that the labyrinth is a labyrinth, because the whole position is separated by an identical earthen wall, and the earthen wall is twisting and turning, and there are countless horns in it...... A lot of soldiers got lost inside.

In contrast. A steady stream of enemy follow-up troops was also arriving, and a large amount of dust could be seen in the distance at the head of the city during the day. At night, countless torches swayed in the wind, and the road fires reflected the mist, illuminating the night sky dozens of miles long.

On the first day of the siege, the Demon Coalition made a tentative attack, but before they could touch the edge of the city wall, a thousand men fell. After that, attacks of varying sizes continued sporadically, with occasional abominable magical attacks.

But Cohen Al Al Qaida's soldiers used the word "tenacity" to the fullest, and when the enemy rushed forward, the garrison fought bloodily, but as soon as the enemy retreated, the walls were full of logistics regiment soldiers rushing to repair the defenses. Outside the city, there was nothing to be seen, but inside the city, the entire Ninth Army was like a machine—tens of thousands of parts working in unison with the movement of the enemy.

"Sir," Lieutenant Colonel Carlos, the staff officer of the Ninth Corps, walked over to Cohen, "our defenses are basically good. ”

"What about the wingmen we sent, do they have any news back?"

"There is no second way out for a hundred miles around," Carlos whispered, "and the wingmen sent to reconnoiter the exit of the canyon have not returned. ”

"In this current form," Cohen asked him lightly, "what do you think?"

"I ...... Not very optimistic. ”

"Actually, I'm not very optimistic!" Cohen laughed, causing a few guards next to him to turn their heads, "But we still have to fight this battle, and we have to win it!"

Carlos looked at the enemy camp and didn't take Cohen's words to heart, his heart was already filled with hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. As a veteran officer, he knew that his chances of winning in such a situation were slim, and as a subordinate, he was determined to stay by Cohen's side until the very end.

"It looks like a massive attack is coming," Cohen said, staring into the distance, "ready for battle!"

Carlos followed Cohen to the headquarters, a tower built behind the city walls, which was a large section above the city walls, allowing for easy observation of the entire battlefield.

At the sound of the trumpet, the Demon Coalition was lined up outside the range of the catapults, and a large number of heralds could be seen galloping in the queue on their horses, and groups of Demon soldiers were constantly pouring out of the camp and converging to the rear of the attacking team...... The scale of the attack was greater than anything that had preceded it.

From the enemy camp to the city walls, there was hardly anything left in between, and even the weeds that were very tenacious and grew close to the ground had been trampled by the Demon Alliance...... There are just too many of them.

At the front of the line were several slave regiments, the shabby slave soldiers kept quiet as the commander shouted, and behind them, the Overseer soldiers on horseback were pressing the arrows of their crossbows.

In the middle of the queue were soldiers from the 27th Legion, dressed in well-made armor, who were looking coldly at the earthen city in the distance. These proud fighters suffered on the first day of the attack, and a large number of their comrades died in the traps of the Phantom Legion, although it is an honor for soldiers to die on the battlefield. But dying in a trap makes people feel very angry. In their words, it is. "This feud is bigger!"

At the end of the queue were the troops from the Twenty-Eighth Legion, and among the barbarian warriors in animal skins, there were also a number of special troops, and their weapons and equipment were second to none in the coalition army, ranging in length and thickness, some with maces taller than themselves, some with one-handed axes, and some with meteor hammers......

Those colorful costumes could not hide the strong murderous aura exuded from them, in fact, the 28th Army Corps was the most terrifying combat power of all the legions in the entire Second War Zone. The soldiers were gritting their teeth and moving their bodies, vowing to give "the Phantom Legion's puppies a look."

Hundreds of heralds carried flaming red banners and made their way through the long passage to the front of the line...... Suddenly, all the voices in the Demon Alliance array fell silent, except for the slight scraping of weapons and armor.

After a loud trumpet, a deafening cry sounded from the side of the Demon Alliance, which was like the waves stirred up during a tsunami, and like the wild sand that was raised during a sandstorm, swirling towards the earth city...... Even the walls of the earthen city trembled in the midst of a wild roar.

The earth is shaking slightly, and the demon coalition is beginning to attack!

The soldiers of the Divine Alliance showed their heads slightly between the arrows of the city wall. Look at the crowd surging from afar. After several days of hard fighting, they could already distinguish the dull, thunderous footsteps in the chaotic sounds...... They watched in silence. Hold the weapon in your hand a little tighter.

Cohen, who was standing on the highest floor of the tower, stared intently at the demon coalition forces that were getting closer and closer, and one after another orders came out of his mouth, and then were passed on by the officers on the lower floors of the tower with gestures.

The archers were all gathered and lined up neatly behind the walls.

"Mark the Ten Sections - Raise the Bow!" Sooner had than the officers shouted hoarsely, countless arrows pointed at the sky at the same angle.

"Steady-steady-steady-" the officers shouted in a prolonged end, their eyes squinting at the tower.

In Cohen's eyes, the front of the shock formation of the Demon Alliance was almost within the range of bows and arrows...... Suddenly, his right hand raised in front of his chest swung down violently!

"Shoot!" the officers shouted excitedly, the dull atmosphere before the war was very depressing, but after the war it was much better.

With a scream, dense feathered arrows flew into the air, tearing through the air, and then crossed the city wall in an elegant curve, flying towards the position in the master's heart, spinning briskly all the way, and finally rushing into the body of the Demon Coalition soldiers.

At the forefront were the slave soldiers, who had no armor to protect them, and in fact had nothing but the clothes on their bodies, which were not enough to cover their bodies. They also saw the rain of arrows flying from the other side of Tucheng, those rain of arrows one after another, both faint and conspicuous, but they did not dare to stop...... If you rush forward, you will be lucky enough to survive, but if you stop, you will definitely die at the hands of the Overseers.

Feathered arrows don't know what misery is, they are nothing more than feathered wooden strips with metal on their tops, and their only mission is to fly far away from the bowstring, and plunging into flesh is not intrinsically different from plunging headlong into the dirt.

As a result, blood splattered everywhere on the field, and screams rose to the sky.

A row of slave soldiers fell, and another row of slave soldiers rushed up to the rain of arrows, running with agility or staggering, or shouting timidly or madly, all with warm chests facing the cold clusters of arrows.

Commands are flying, feathered arrows are flying, blood is flying, souls are flying......

The formation of the slave soldiers was scattered, and no one, including themselves, expected them to take the city, they were just moving shields...... The slaves were charged forward by the well-armed soldiers of the Twenty-Seven Legion, allowing their arrows to penetrate their bodies, staining the ground red with blood.

Because of the sacrifice of the slave soldiers, the troops of the 27th Legion in the rear maintained a neat formation, and these well-armored soldiers approached the city wall in the order of swords, shields, spears, and bows and arrows.

A large number of stones were thrown by catapults inside the city wall, and the soldiers of the 27th Army cried for their fathers and mothers. Stones do not distinguish between lowly slave soldiers and proud fighters, and it is usually a stone that falls and has multiple severed arms and stumps flying into the sky...... In such a blow, the Demon Coalition soldiers, who were able to remain intact, had to face thousands of powerful crossbows on the city walls.

After paying a great price, the first siege ladder of the Demon Alliance finally reached the head of Tucheng City, followed by the second. Third ...... The howling Demon Coalition soldiers climbed up the ladder. Behind them. Their own archers finally shot the first round of feathered arrows.

The Divine Alliance soldiers on the city wall were already in battle, and they began to use long hooks to push a ladder away from the wall, knocking down the people on it along with them. Countless enemy soldiers fell into the dust with the rolling stones and skulls and never got up again, although the powerful crossbows of the Divine Alliance were extremely lethal at short and medium ranges, but with the replenishment of the follow-up troops of the Demon Alliance, this loss was almost negligible.

The soldiers on both sides went mad, and no one spared their lives anymore. The crossbowmen on the walls poured their bolts downwards again and again, without aiming at all. The rolling stone and sassage wood can be thrown casually and can hit the enemy...... The rate of consumption was so fast that the logistics soldiers of the transport almost broke their legs.

The corpses under the city wall piled up, getting higher and higher, but no one in the Demon Alliance paid attention to this, it was the honor of the soldiers to die on the battlefield, and they even set up human ladders under the city wall after a large number of cloud ladders were damaged! The soldiers bit knives in their mouths, and climbed the wall with their bare hands on the top of their shoulders, although such an idiotic method did not help much in the attack, but its ferocity was evident from this!

The second batch of ladders was finally transported to the city, and the archers of the Demon Alliance began to support in an orderly manner, and until then they had been shooting indiscriminately on a large scale...... And now. They concentrated their attacks amid the shouts of several officers, trying to gain an advantage over a small section of the wall.

This support is finally paying off. A demon coalition soldier vomited blood after receiving a few stones and stubbornly climbed to the top of the city, although he was immediately pierced by several spears and fell down screaming, but there were still bursts of cheers among the demon coalition troops under the city! The huge cheers made the soldiers inexplicably excited, naturally...... More and more Demon Coalition soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

They were greeted by countless gleaming spearheads and knives. The soldiers of the Divine Alliance howled, desperately trying to drive the enemy off the walls.

In the midst of the scuffle, a large number of barbarian soldiers stepped on the city walls, and these brute-skinned cattle caused great casualties and trouble to the defenders. In the shadow of swords and swords, the enemy and the enemy on the city wall were killed, and the entangled crowds of people surged back and forth, stabbing with guns, slashing with knives, biting with teeth, and banging with heads......

A soldier of the Demon Alliance had just climbed to the top of the city, and before he could stand firmly, he was cut in half by a knife, and this soldier of the Divine Alliance with a war knife was kicked by a brutal fighter and flew up......

A barbarian roared angrily, wielding two giant axes and several soldiers of the Divine Alliance, the barbarian was extremely strong, and the giant axe in his hand brought casualties to his opponent again and again, when he cleanly cut the third soldier of the Divine Alliance into two waists, he found that he could not move...... Another dazzling flash of bright light, the barbarian had turned into a pile of ashes flying in the air!

As a result, his magician turned around and ran towards other tight areas under the protection of the two non-commissioned officers.

The demon alliance army attacked the city again and again, and was driven down again and again, and rushed up again and again...... In the naked tearing and slaughter, nothing fancy was gone, the awe-inspiring slogans were thrown aside, and the soldiers cheered themselves up with the most primitive howls to save their lives in the most direct way. Mutilated corpses littered the not-so-wide walls, and the strong fishy smell of the sticky red liquid accumulated higher and higher, and then the earth flowed down from the city, staining the mile-long walls a disgusting scarlet ......

Three hours later, the attack ended with the retreat of the Demon Coalition - both sides were tired.

Looking at the tide of the enemy, Cohen Kelda said only one word.

"The troops changed their defenses, rescued the wounded, strengthened their defenses, and prepared for their next attack. ”

The soldiers who had killed the nervous were replaced, and their faces were pale, and they were still whispering something in their mouths. Some people threw themselves into the well and began to pour water ferociously, others lay down without saying a word and stared at the sky with wooden eyes, and some kept asking people about their friends' whereabouts......

A day passed, two days passed, and from day to night, the Demon Alliance's side changed its attack. In their offensive frenzy, the weapons and equipment of the Divine Alliance Army were extremely consumed, even if the equipment regiment worked day and night, even if all the resources that could be used in the earth city were made into "weapons" by them, but these things were far from being consumed. Many of the soldiers' weapons were damaged and could not be repaired, catapults were left with no stones to throw away, and even archers were restricted from using them......

The tiny earthen city is already crumbling, and it looks like it won't last long. But the amazing thing is that it persevered every time.

With a few neighing horses, an officer with a somewhat tired face dismounted, handed the reins to the guards, and walked into the largest tent in the camp of the Demon Alliance.

"Your Excellency!" he exclaimed, "the three-bell attack is over, and the subordinates have come to take their orders!"

"What was the result?" a lieutenant general in his forties asked him softly.

"Your Excellency, the battle is not very good, and our losses are much greater than those of the Phantom Legion. ”

The lieutenant general waved his hand, and the officer retreated in amusement. (To be continued......)
