Devil's Journey

Chapter 177
The south of the Golden City is close to the sea, surrounded by mountains, so it is a relatively easy place to defend the city. There are islands outside the southern port, and there are forts stationed there. They are not afraid of enemies coming from the sea, but they don't think much about air defense.

This is actually normal. Even the wealthy Verrol Chamber of Commerce has raised more than 2000 bronze-ranked Pegasus Knights. Of course, this also pays more attention to naval and homeland defense than the Verrol Chamber of Commerce.

But looking around the countries on the entire continent, there are indeed very few large-scale air forces. Even in the prestigious Griffin Kingdom in the north, there are only more than [-] Griffin Knights in total, and there are only a thousand Dragon Eagle Knights in the Dragon Eagle Empire. , but these two types of knights are high-level arms of the silver rank.

In addition, the large-scale combat airship jointly developed by the mages in the south, and the attached pegasus knights, and the pegasus of the business alliance were also jointly purchased from the mages.

Including most of the popular mixed-breed elf warhorses on the market are high imitation copycat versions of the mage union. This kind of mage joint research and production, and there are many other models in which the business alliance is responsible for breeding and distribution.

However, although the two parties have a wide range of businesses, the relationship between them is not close. After all, one is a businessman and the other is a mage. If there is a dispute, unless it is really unstoppable, the business alliance really doesn't want to ask the mage union for help.

However, simple transactions such as buying weapons and hiring mages are no problem. With the approach of the magic army, the ambassador of the business alliance to the mages united opened the big coin mode.

A large number of emergency weapon orders were sent out, as well as high-value employment orders. Considering the similar reason, the senior management of the Mage Union also acquiesced in the behavior of the business alliance ambassador.

Originally a thousand-sail race all day long, the extremely busy Golden City has rarely entered a depression period. A large number of rich merchants and nobles boarded their ships with their family money, planning to go to the not-too-distant Cyril Island to hide first. After all, the demon ships should . There is no way to cross the sea to chase after him.

Even many timid civilians paid a lot of money to get a boat ticket to escape from the Golden City. Panic permeated the entire city. Among the many rumors coming from the west, they all told of the cruelty and cruelty of the demon army without exception. tyrannical.

Even the top management of the business alliance secretly transferred their family members and property outside while issuing notices that the situation was still under control. Although the magic army hadn't arrived yet, the Golden City was already in turmoil.

"Run, evil, the devil is coming!"

Amidst the panic-stricken cries, the caravan rushing to the Golden City broke up in a rush, and both the guards and the men abandoned the goods and fled in all directions.

"Don't go! My goods, my goods?!" A chubby businessman screamed, turning a deaf ear to the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance.

Amidst the screams and cries, a group of undead knights who seemed to be killed from the underworld roared past, trampled the businessmen and travelers running around on the road, swept their spears, and scattered the corpses.

The carriage full of goods was blown away by the leading officer of the demon cavalry, and then more than a hundred demon knights rushed all the way without stopping, leaving only a mess along the way and a small number of survivors.

A moment after this group of demon knights passed by, there was another roaring sound of horseshoes, and then another [-] fully armed demon knights also rushed past.

After a long time, two passers-by cautiously poked their heads out from behind the stones on the side of the road, waited and watched for a while, and after confirming that the magic knight had left, they breathed a sigh of relief as if after a catastrophe.

"I've survived." After a weeping and smiling expression appeared, the elderly man dressed as a mercenary supported the stone and let it soften.

The younger youth at the side seemed to be dressed like a son of a nobleman, and he also breathed a sigh of relief with a look of fear. Although he could barely maintain his composure, there was still fear in his eyes.

"Then... are those evil...going to the Golden City?" the young man said, holding back his fear.

"Heh, it goes without saying that other than the Golden City, is it going in that direction? Could it be the Maginot Line?" The middle-aged mercenary grinned and said a cold joke.

The young man showed a wry smile when he heard the words. Now the Maginot Line of Defense has changed from a commendatory term to a derogatory term, even though that line of defense did block hundreds of thousands of demons.

The organizational strength of the demon army is too low. If there is no strong commander who can suppress other demon generals, as long as they can block the initial onslaught of the demon army, the demons will easily fall into large-scale internal fighting and chaos.

But if it can't stop the initial onslaught of the demon army, forget it, the raging demon tide will be immersed in bullying and ravaging the weak human beings, thus alleviating the desire for internal fighting.

Of course, it’s useless to say these things now. No matter how secure the fence gate is, it’s useless if a big hole is dug in the fence wall. Whether it’s already been hit by a disaster, or it’s about to be hit by a disaster, and even people who feel that they may be affected by a disaster are full of people. Resentment.

Then the young man saw the middle-aged mercenary tidy up his equipment, then tiptoed back to the main road, looking for belongings on the fallen trucks and scattered corpses.

The young man hesitated for a moment, looked up and down cautiously for a while, and then walked down.

Leila led [-] demon cavalry to clear the way, and did not attack the city and loot all the way, but just rushed forward to create an atmosphere of killing demons first, and the panicked people would spread all kinds of rumors more widely.

The order in the entire west of Verrol was completely disrupted, and rumors spread to the north and east at a faster speed than Leila's cavalry.

As for the magic army brigade led by Julian, it is still slowly marching behind. The fifteen thousand magic army has expanded to fifty-five thousand, although most of them are young men and women who were forcibly looted on the road.

But at least the formation is supported, especially when there is a huge green dragon circling by from time to time in the sky, hundreds of flying demons are constantly patrolling at low altitude, it is hard to think that this magic army is actually only the one from the sky that day. Hundreds of them are real demons.

It is rare for Julian to not be tired of being in a pile of pink and fat. The army is expanding too fast now, which greatly affects the marching speed. Except for the Leila cavalry who is about to approach the Golden City, what is the marching speed of the other troops? Nor does it deserve to be called a blitzkrieg.

The forward is the three thousand demon army led by Senia, the middle army is the four thousand demon army led by Alice, the rear army is the three thousand demon army led by Sylvia, and the five thousand army led by Foote is behind. Thousand Wild Monster Army.

The [-] enslaved servants were sandwiched between the central army and the rear army, under the command of Joseph, a traitor. Regardless of the number of people under his command, he had almost no combat effectiveness.

All Joseph had to do was to take care of these servants with his dog legs, and wait for them to be transformed into demons in batches. After the transformation was successful, they would be added to the demon army as new demon soldiers.

If the transformation fails, it's fine if you die, and those who don't die will be thrown back to the servant army. As Joseph's subordinates, they will continue to shine for the cause of You Da Devil.

It looks like a wandering army.
