Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 24: Conquering Lieyang City

"Rest here for ten minutes, then follow me to attack the city!"

Standing outside Lieyang City, Eli issued orders to the entire army, and then while the soldiers were resting, he carefully scanned the entire Lieyang City with his soul.

He carefully memorized the location of every high-level warrior, the places with the most hidden soldiers, and the places with the weakest defenses. He needed to take advantage of the moment when the army just arrived at the battlefield and their blood was boiling to kill the enemy demons in one go. Resting too long would instead weaken his energy.

Seeing that Eli's army was preparing to attack the city, the rest of the troops outside the city also made preparations, even the dwarf troops who deeply doubted the strength of Eli's army.

There were only about 80,000 to 90,000 people present, and Eli's troops accounted for 50,000 of them. Even if they didn't say it, everyone knew who the main force of the siege was. When the real battle started, the main force rushed up, and they naturally couldn't fall behind.

Originally, given the situation in the mortal world, the hundreds of races were accustomed to fighting in coalitions, and the eighty to ninety thousand people in front of them should be best commanded by one person. However, Eli, who had the strongest force, did not speak, and no one could stand up to compete for command.

Fortunately, after thousands of years of inheritance and countless generations, all ethnic groups have long been able to cooperate tacitly on any battlefield. There is no need to worry about a significant reduction in combat effectiveness due to inconsistent command. At least they can perform at a normal level of 1+1=2.

Ten minutes is not a long time, and soon it was time to launch the attack.

At this moment, looking at the demon army standing ready for battle on the distant city wall, Eli said nothing but a loud shout that echoed throughout the army.

"Follow me, vanguard, charge forward; follow me, whole army, attack!"

The vanguard composed of Eli, Jessica, Cecilia, Wendy and her three fellow elves charged first. After them, the three of them and four elves came the vanguard of the guard composed of the strong men sent by the Duke's Palace, and then the elite Duke's Palace Guards... all the way to the ordinary army, the entire army was mobilized.

Except for Alyssa, who stayed behind to wait for her brothers and sisters to come back, the rest of the troops rushed forward.

Eli was still leading the way, followed closely by Jessica and Cecilia. The only difference from before was that this time Wendy and the others were on the same team.

As Eli's army launched the siege, the demon army in the city immediately rained arrows. The lord of the Dark Demon City stood on the city wall, holding a huge halberd in his hand, pointing at Eli who was riding a horse and charging forward, then grabbed the handle of the halberd and stabbed it forward.

The bows and arrows of ordinary demon soldiers could not hurt the vanguard team whose members were at least high-level strongmen, but they could temporarily force back ordinary masters and cause great hindrance to ordinary soldiers. Under the rain of arrows, the vanguard team soon became disconnected from the follow-up troops.

But Eli seemed not to care about this situation. As long as he rushed into the group of demons and killed their masters and archers, the army would naturally come up.

"Demons, die!"

He rode his horse to the foot of the city. With his protective fighting spirit, neither the horse nor he was hurt. However, the cavalry could not attack the city. At this point, he could only dismount and fly directly onto the city wall.

"Flying with Qi! A ninth-level expert!?"

The Lord of Dark Demon City, who had pointed at Eli and challenged him from the city wall, was shocked. He couldn't believe that the young human in front of him was actually a ninth-level warrior who was stronger than him.

The higher the level, the greater the difference in strength between each level. If a seventh-level warrior can still fight with an eighth-level warrior, then when he reaches the eighth level, he wants to compete with a ninth-level warrior, and he has to accept the possibility of sudden death at any time. Seeing Eli flying up to the tower, except for the Lord of Dark Demon City who secretly cried "I'm going to die" and the vanguard who dismounted and climbed the city wall as if it were flat ground, the rest of the coalition forces and the demons in the city were stunned.

Our enemies are so strong? How can we defeat them? The morale of the demon army dropped by 100.

Our commander is so strong? Kill them! Allied forces' morale +10086.

With the rise and fall of the force, and the fact that the vanguard immediately started killing after climbing up the city wall, the coalition forces' charge immediately became smooth sailing.

The huge battle axe came down on his head, and the shocked Lord of Dark Demon City quickly swung his giant halberd to parry it, but he misjudged the power of the battle axe, or he could not withstand the power of the battle axe even though he tried his best. He didn't even get to say his last line and tell his name, and he turned into a pool of blood foam on the spot.

Is the crushing of the ninth level against the eighth level so exaggerated? Wendy, who was killing frantically, took a look.

Wendy had this doubt after rescuing them. City Lord Eli killed an eighth-level person as easily as killing a chicken. How strong was he?
All I can say is that he is so terrifying. He is indeed a super genius of the same level as the one that their clan has only seen for thousands of years...

With the death of the Lord of Dark Demon City, the morale of the demon army dropped further. The remaining four high-level demons were found and killed one by one by Eli. The morale of the demon army that was still resisting hit rock bottom on the spot. It was considered that they had good psychological quality that they did not collapse directly.

Until then, the large army under Eli's command and those not under Eli's command arrived at the city. They did not have the ability to climb the city wall without the help of siege equipment, but in Eli's eyes, no matter how solid the city gate was, it was just a matter of an axe.

He jumped off the city wall, chopped open the city gate with an axe, and the army charged straight into the city. As the enemy had no high-level warriors and their morale was low, the siege troops occupied various key points in the city with almost no resistance.

What followed was brutal street fighting. The large-scale demon army was wiped out, with countless casualties. Of the original 64,000 demons, less than 20,000 still had the combat power and will to fight, and the rest either died in battle or fled.

After dealing with all the high-level enemies, Eli did not participate in the battle to kill the ordinary demon soldiers. Instead, Cecilia, who was not satisfied with killing, went over to kill. Even Wendy's three companions joined the demon-killing army.

As a result, the only ones "free" on the battlefield were Eli, Jessica and Wendy.

Unlike Cecilia, Jessica had no hostility towards Wendy. When she had some free time, Wendy naturally came to talk to Eli, and Jessica did not glare at her.

"The moves of City Lord Yilai are indeed extraordinary. I thought it would take a lot of effort to capture Lieyang City, but I didn't expect that City Lord Yilai could solve it with just a few strikes of the axe."

Wendy's words were not a compliment. The role played by Eli in this battle was obvious to all. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he took down Lieyang City alone. What she and the other soldiers did was just to clear obstacles and do the finishing work.

"Wendy, you're too kind. I just did what the Lord should do." Eli scratched his head and said modestly, looking embarrassed.

If I hadn’t been a commander before, I would have believed it… Wendy secretly complained in her heart.
