Who told him to rush up there?

Chapter 21: Beginning the Expedition

In the next few days, Eli stayed in the Demon Hunting City and did not go out again.

Wendy brought her people and some subordinates to thank him halfway. Eli chatted with them for a while, and seeing that Cecilia was not very happy, he did not keep her.

The construction of the Demon Hunting City was very fast, after all, there is strength in numbers.

In a few days, many new houses were added to the Demon Hunting City, and the original military camp was more than doubled.

Most of the people of various ethnic groups who were rescued before moved into the new houses, and the multi-ethnic coalition brought by Wendy set up camp in the open space near those new houses.

During this period, the "natives" of the Demon Hunting City, the people who were rescued and resettled, and the troops under Wendy's command had a good exchange and often gathered together to drink and chat.

After the annihilation of the demon army a few days ago, no demons came to disturb them these days, and the days in the Demon Hunting City were very comfortable.

According to Eli's estimation, the demons will not send troops and masters in the short term. Now the demons are shrinking their defenses on all fronts to deal with the crazy Elf Empire.

Before the Elf Empire's offensive slows down or the demons find a way to deal with the immortal body, the front line of the Demon Hunting City seems to be able to stay so peaceful.

It's just that others don't know how long the demons will retreat, but Eli, who has the memory of his previous life, knows that the madness of the Elf Empire can only last for half a year. After half a year, the power of the remaining soul of the Goddess of Life will be exhausted, and the elves will return to ordinary flesh and blood.

During this half year, the hundreds of races need to eliminate the living forces of the demons as much as possible under the leadership of the elves, so as to reduce the difficulty of future wars.

As a member of the anti-demon battlefield, Eli also wants to kill more demons. A few days are enough for Wendy's troops to rest. Eli, who is short of soldiers and generals, plans to join Wendy's troops to start an expedition together.

Temporarily leave the front line of the Demon Hunting City and go to the current front-line battlefield to kill the enemy. However, it is already difficult to fight a field battle with the demons at present. Now it is their turn to attack the city and capture the stronghold and bite the hard bones.

Eli took Jessica to Wendy's camp. After telling her his idea, Wendy agreed to Eli without even thinking about it, and she consciously handed over the command. The previous defeat of the army had made her realize that fighting was not her strong point.

Her immortality is indeed powerful, but it can't bring any enhancement to her troops.

Fortunately, because they were all saved by Eli and his army, Wendy's troops did not have any resistance to Eli's city lord leading them in the future, and following the powerful commander to kill the enemy together is the dream of many soldiers.

Half a year is long and short. Now that he has rested for a few days, Eli did not waste any more time and immediately prepared to set off.

With the Duke's Mansion as a backing, Eli's Demon Hunting City has never lacked military rations, and the military pay required for the new troops has also been delivered in the past few days. After Rondo arranged everything, Eli brought Jessica and Cecilia to the front of the expeditionary force.

"We have no time to waste!"

"The Elf Empire is attacking the Demon Clan's defenses. Every time they capture a city, they can recover a piece of territory and destroy a large number of enemy demons."

"But the Elf Empire has few people and is not strong enough. It is difficult for them to achieve brilliant results alone!"

"Now, I believe that there are knowledgeable people forming expeditionary forces on the front lines where the demons retreated, and the orders from the rear base camp will surely arrive in a blink of an eye."

"I, Eli Bruno, the eldest son of Duke Bruno of the Dawn Empire! The new lord of the Demon Hunting City! After taking office, I have defeated the demon army four times! Killed tens of thousands of demons! !”

“At this moment, I will lead the army to attack the retreating demons! Let the demons see how powerful we are! We are not only passive defenders, we also have the determination and courage to kill all the demons and reclaim our homeland!”

“I will lead the charge, and all the soldiers will follow me!”

Elai, who has always been taciturn, made a rare speech this time. Although the army of the Demon Hunting City has actively attacked the demons with him several times, this time is different from any previous time. The casualties of the siege are much more severe than those of the field battle. Even he cannot guarantee how many soldiers who will follow him today will eventually come back.

The only thing Eli can do is to charge first on the battlefield and carve out a bloody path for the soldiers behind him. Even if it is a siege, he has the ability to break the city first, but no matter how fiercely he kills demons alone, it is not as good as the crushing of the army.

He had only 50,000 troops, including Wendy's troops. Of course, they were enough to kill people in the Demon Hunting City, but in front of a large city with millions of demons, this army was not enough.

Of course, Eli couldn't go directly to the city with millions of demons, but after the demons withdrew their defenses, even a small city would probably have no less than 50,000 demons stationed. With 50,000 against 50,000, the enemy was defending the city, which was a huge advantage.

Eli was confident that he could break the city alone, but after breaking the city, killing demons still depended on the troops. He couldn't pick out the demon soldiers one by one in the complex city and kill them.

After the oath, Eli led two personal guards to set off first amid the roars of the soldiers, "Kill the demons! Kill the demons!" Behind them were Wendy and her three fellow tribesmen, who were also absorbed into the vanguard group by Eli. After all, they were all high-level warriors and could play a significant role on a normal battlefield.

It’s just a pity that except for Wendy who still has a lot of room for improvement and is worthy of training, the youngest of the other three seventh-level elves is no less than 500 years old, and the upper limit of their growth is almost locked. In the future, they will at most be able to reach the eighth level of strength, which is not worthy of Eli’s attention.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that the three middle-aged elven aunts have lost their glamor and are already married and have children, and it has nothing to do with the fact that Wendy is young, beautiful and single.

The distance from the Demon Hunting City to the current frontline battlefield is not very close. It takes about three days on the way. This is also related to the remoteness of the Demon Hunting City.

"Lord Eli, do you have a plan on which city to attack first?"

On the way, Wendy rode a horse and came to Eli. Under Cecilia's blank gaze, she took the initiative to talk to him.

"I had thought about it before setting off. I would attack the Dark Demon City first, which was also the former Lieyang City. This city is not big or small. At this time, it is estimated that there will only be 60,000 to 70,000 demonic troops. With the strength of our army, we can take it The first shot is the best.”

When Wendy talked to him about business, even though Cecilia's eyes were dark, Eli couldn't ignore her and could only answer businesslikely.

"Fire Sun City... I haven't heard this name fifty years ago. The dark demon has passed away, and the Fiery Sun has risen again. Good intentions!"

Wendy and Eli walked side by side, murmuring softly.

Will the sun rise again? But the sun, even if it rises again, will eventually set... Eli thought silently.
