Who told him to rush up there?

Later, after resting in the camp for a while, Eli led the vanguard team to set off.

Because the team was full of high-level warriors, without the "drag" of ordinary soldiers, their marching speed was extremely fast.

It didn't even take half an hour for the vanguard team to rush to the next city occupied by the demons.

Looking from a distance outside the city, the demon soldiers on the city wall looked ready for battle, but looking at their expressions, there was no sign of mutation.

Isn't it true that the demons in every city will mutate? Then don't they just need to pick normal cities to attack?

No, just watching can't ensure that there will be no mistakes, we have to try first...

"Let's test it first, and I will lead the team to attack the city. If everything is normal, we will kill a lot and leave. If there is a mutation... you retreat first, I will kill a lot and leave."

Looking at the city in the distance where he couldn't find any abnormalities even after his soul exploration, Eli gave instructions to the vanguard team he brought with him.

After the order was passed down, Eli reined in his horse and rushed straight to the demon guards in the distance. Behind him were other high-level warriors including Jessica and Cecilia. By the way, even Wendy, who had delivered the message, had come. At this moment, she was beside Eli and followed him closely in the charge.

When Eli led his team to attack the city, even though the number of troops they came was small, the quality was a bit too high. The demon guards on the city wall immediately notified their superiors after discovering them, and soon the high-level demon generals and the city lord went up to the city tower.

Although no one in the charging team released their fighting spirit at this time, in each of their previous battles, some demons fled in defeat. After these defeated soldiers were absorbed by nearby cities, these cities were more or less wary of Eli's special team.

It was just because Eli's vanguard was too powerful for ordinary small and medium-sized cities, and they could not match it even if they were prepared in advance.

Now, the demon clan's city lord and deputy general knew they could not fight against the powerful army that the fleeing soldiers had heard about. After all, the other party's commander was a ninth-level warrior who was left behind.

There were only 70,000 demon soldiers in their city, two seventh-level and one eighth-level. How could they resist a high-level warrior team led by a ninth-level warrior? For now, they could only follow the request of the priest...

Almost in an instant, the demon clan defenders who were waiting in full battle suddenly changed their momentum, and the brilliance in their eyes gradually disappeared, gradually turning into a sense of emptiness.

At this moment, Eli, who had already rushed to the bottom of the city, flew up and jumped directly onto the tower, and the battle axe in his hand mercilessly chopped at the demon clan's high-level warrior in front of him.

Just like when he killed the generals and enemies before, no matter how strong the opponent was, no demon could survive under Eli's axe. All beings were equal under the battle axe, and it was not just talk. Whether it was the eighth-level city lord or the seventh-level deputy general, they all felt powerless before they died.

But it didn't matter. The secret method created by the priest had spread among the army, and the demon soldiers under their command would force these powerful enemies to retreat.

The high-level strong men of the demon clan died normally, but as Eli broke through the city gate and the vanguard outside the city rushed into the city, they were no longer facing normal demons.

Just like the demons in the previous city, the demon defenders in this city, who looked normal from a distance, now rushed towards them one by one without caring about their lives. It was completely different from the previous cities. There was not a single defeated soldier running away.

Although the vanguard team is full of high-level warriors, each of them has the ability to completely kill the mutated demon soldiers, but in this way, their fighting spirit consumption rate will increase by more than ten times. With their lineup, if Eli is excluded, they will fight 10,000 or 20,000 demon soldiers at most before their fighting spirit is exhausted and they will die.

Fortunately, they don't need to exclude Eli, because Eli himself is standing at the city gate.

"Kill as many demons as possible. Those with less than 30% fighting spirit can retreat directly. I will cover you. Don't worry about killing demons."

Standing at the broken city gate, Eli raised his battle axe and harvested the lives of the mutated demon soldiers casually. Beside him, the other high-level warriors in the vanguard team were also fighting hard, but they didn't look very efficient.

After a one-sided crushing battle, the vanguard team killed more than 28,000 demons before retreating one after another, of which Eli killed 15,000 demons.

Looking around, the mutated demon soldiers in the city were still full of shadows, and there was no end in sight. Although Eli had enough strength to kill another 15,000 demons, he still chose to retreat temporarily.

It was meaningless to tangle with a group of insane demon soldiers here, so it was better to hurry up and go to another demon city to have a look. During this battle, Eli noticed that the mutation of the demons seemed to be "manually controlled", and it needed some magic to activate it. Before the activation, the demon soldiers were just normal flesh and blood.

To crack the pseudo-immortal ability of the demons, you have to find their "casters". If you can find the casters in the demon group and kill them before the battle, then when the demons' mutation ability cannot be activated, it will be easy for him to lead the army to kill the demon army.

With Eli's speed, as long as he wants to retreat, the brainless demon soldiers will not be able to chase him. After killing enough mutated demon soldiers, Eli quickly left the battlefield to meet up with the vanguard team that retreated earlier.

After successfully joining the vanguard, Eli ordered a short rest to recover some fighting spirit, and then everyone set out again to another city that had not yet been recovered from the demons.

…

After a period of rest, most of the high-level warriors in the vanguard team recovered to 50% of their fighting spirit, including Jessica and Cecilia, who recovered to 70%. As for Eli, he had been waiting in full condition.

Without wasting time, Eli quickly led the vanguard team to the nearest demon city. After a quick march, it was still less than half an hour before Eli and the vanguard team arrived at their destination.

However, unlike any previous city, this unknown small city had its gates closed, but there were no demon guards on its walls. If the gates were not intact, the vanguard team would even think that they had arrived at a small city that they had conquered.

Eli flew into the city without any obstacles. After using his soul to explore, he did not find a single demon soldier here. There were only the bodies of slaves of various races scattered around the entire city.

"The demons have retreated, and they massacred the city before retreating."

Elai felt a little heavy, not only because the demons had inhumanely massacred the city, but also because the demons really began to withdraw from the small town.

Once the demons who withdrew from various small towns began to gather their forces, they would face several times, dozens of times, or even dozens of times more enemy demons if they wanted to attack the city. Even if these enemy demons were flesh and blood, it would be difficult to deal with them, not to mention that they now have the secret method of mutation...
