Devil's Journey

Chapter 90 The Same View
Amidst the sound of trampling, a nightmare beast walks through the demons. On the nightmare beast sits a glamorous woman in dark red light armor. The woman has a long knife hanging from her waist, and a magic flame that is somewhat awkward in her hand. whip.

When the nightmare beast passed by, those demons with brains were avoiding poisonous snakes one after another. Well, like ordinary people avoiding poisonous snakes, some low-level demons who have no brains and are still playing around will be whipped on the head. The team is neat and not like a demon They, of course, are still much worse than the orderliness of the human army, but it is already a great improvement.

The woman is naturally Liya. Liya, who was appointed as a military judge, holds the power of life and death. In the past few days, dozens of demons have been whipped to death by Liya with the magic flame whip. counted.

However, the demons are quite good at this. After all, they are afraid of power and not virtuous. Under Liya's strict overseer, the demons under Julian quickly learned some discipline.

And Leila was appointed as the vanguard commander. The four most capable demon officers and the most capable demon soldiers are all under Leila's command. In addition, there are two undead knights as direct subordinates. For a strong enemy, the vanguard is enough to deal with the enemy.

Julian didn't intend to squeeze directly into the center of the battlefield and become cannon fodder for the war, but he didn't have the guts to fight, but he did have the guts to gain benefits by fighting, and it was quite big.

Located in the east of the Earl of Andres, the Viscount of Beers, a castle that has been temporarily strengthened, is facing the attack of a demon army.

Beers Castle, located on a hillside, occupies quite a large area. Compared with Rabeland, who was promoted to Viscount in the previous generation, Viscount Beers is an old viscount. In the south of Dorron County, the power is second only to Ann. Count Dreis.

However, the relationship between Viscount Beers and Earl Andres is not good, and it probably has something to do with the ambition of the Beers family.

And the current demon army is a big test for Viscount Biers. If Viscount Biers, who was promoted to the golden rank, can make great contributions in the war, it will not be difficult to be promoted to Earl.

Assisting Viscount Beers in defending the city included a team of court mages, a cavalry brigade, and an infantry team all sent by the king to support him, and what made Viscount Beers a little dissatisfied was that the command of this army did not belong to him. .

Biers Castle was built of very solid rock. It is said that a famous architect was invited to design it, and at the same time, wizards from the Academy of Magic were invited to participate in strengthening it. It can even resist heavy trebuchets or short-term bombardment of dwarven heavy artillery.

Well, it won't work after a long time.

It's just that although the demons don't have heavy trebuchets and dwarf artillery, they have other long-range firepower. The rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation.

A huge lava head is located in the center of the demon army. It can be converted into magic power by devouring a large number of creatures. It spits out powerful lava bombs and projects them two kilometers away. The effect will be less.

Only the accuracy is a bit low, but it's not a big problem. At least the horned demon warlord who is commanding the army thinks there is no problem.

The horned demon governor has two pairs of very conspicuous magic horns on his forehead. His burly and tall figure looks like a man or a beast, with a half-hunchback, thick and strong arms, and the lower body is like a beast's feet.

Although this kind of grumpy demon is not as cunning as a demon killer, he is unexpectedly more obedient. Of course, the premise is that he is subdued. As an upgrade of a mad demon, he is not as arrogant as a mad demon.

(The image of the horned devil was originally based on the horned devil, but now it is considered an original. In fact, the ranks of the horned devil and the madman should be reversed.)
The fat and clumsy figure of the Molten Demon is difficult to move, but it is surrounded by human captives held by the demons. The Molten Demon only needs to stretch out its tentacles, and it can swallow those crying captives into the giant mouth below.

When you are full, you will hiccup and emit sparks, and then adjust the position of the nozzle on the top of your head. With a bang, you will see a huge lava cannonball being thrown into the sky with billowing flames, and then It hit the castle more than one kilometer away like a meteor.

Amidst the roar, the shell hit the city wall with a deviation of only tens of meters. The deer rock in front of the castle was shattered by the orange-red lava shell. No infantry came to pick up the shrapnel.

The defenders in the castle looked at the ground that had been blasted into a scorched black pit in fear, and prayed to their gods for protection with lingering fear.

All the women and children in the entire castle had been evacuated to the rear, and the castle was almost filled with three thousand soldiers, including one thousand private soldiers led by Bills, and two regiments of the Royal Army who came to support, a total of two thousand soldiers. There is a large army of knights.

There are more than a dozen silver-ranked great knights and lieutenants, in addition to two silver-ranked mages, and two gold-ranked powerhouses, but compared to the demons outside the city, their troops are still much weaker.

Julian took Leila to the hill not far behind the castle, and secretly observed the battlefield. The view here is very good, and even the soldiers in the castle can be seen from a distance.

Of course, the demons have an air force, so they don't have to go to the mountain here to peek.

"How is it? Layla, who do you think will win?" Julian changed into a smaller human figure, looked at the strength of both sides, and asked Layla.

"If there is no support, the demon will win. If the support is timely, the human will win." After thinking about it in her heart, Leila gave her own judgment. After all, Leila has received professional military education.
"Yeah, yes, it's pretty much the same as mine." Julian nodded calmly in agreement with Leila's judgment.

Then Julian asked again: "Narella, what do you think we should do?"

Leila lowered her head and drew a crude map on the ground with her sword. As a military nobleman in Duolun County, Leila naturally had a good grasp of the nearby geography.

"Master, maybe we can intercept the human reinforcements." After a while, Leila looked up at Julian and said.

"Intercept the reinforcements?" Julian frowned, and then showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Yes, I also think so, Leila, it's good that you can keep up with my thinking, um, I will test you again, how to intercept? "

Leila couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard the words, and she said helplessly with her bloody jade eyes: "The reinforcements must come from the southwest, and I'm afraid they have already set off from Andres, but it probably won't be too early The attack should be launched when the demon army outside the castle is severely depleted, so the reinforcements will stay here to observe."

Seeing Leila stabbing at a certain point on the rough map, Julian nodded in agreement again, and then said: "It's like a mantis catching a cicada and an oriole behind. We are an oriole."

After listening to the proverb translated by Julian, Leila also nodded: "But I am afraid that the kingdom's army will be prepared for an ambush, and the kingdom's army that came to support must be a capable force."
