Dragon Empire Calendar Year 9965. August 4th.
History was a coincidence. The demons had attacked the Jade Gate Pass, the strongest city on the continent, and the Great Wall had also welcomed the largest battle in its history.
At the same time, an emergency meeting was held in the Imperial City to formulate a military operation codenamed "Demon-Breaking". Sima De Le was the executor of this plan. He brought a secret letter from the Imperial City, and the Empire's strongest army, the Azure Dragon, was also rushing to the aid of Jade Gate Pass.
On this morning, the soldiers who were waiting on the walls of the Great Wall's main fortress finally saw the enemy they had been waiting for a long time!
Under the rising sun, above the northern horizon. A black mass of tracks appeared.
At first, it was a black line. It slowly moved. The black line turned into a black cloud that looked like an ant.
On the city wall, the soldiers could hear the movement of the wind. The heavy footsteps, the clanking sounds of weapons and armor, and the heavy breathing of the enemies…The movement of tens of thousands of enemies came with the wind! Looking from the city walls, the black mass of enemies was like a black flood, moving along the flat plains in the north and pressing down on the defense line of the Great Wall.
Swords and spears were like a forest, and armor was like a cloud!
Although it was August, the climate in the north was still not warm, especially when the white gas breathed out by the tens of thousands of demon soldiers was clearly visible. And then…What shocked the soldiers on the city wall was the front row of the demon soldiers. Beside each huge formation, at the front was a tall monster that they had never seen before! This was the demon race's war beast, followed by a large number of war priests. They used ancient secret techniques to control the beast.
The monster was at least five to six meters tall. It was huge and sturdy, like a giant bear. His body was also covered in a giant armor. It looked crude, but it was filled with a hard feeling.
On the necks of these giant beasts. It was also accompanied by thick iron chains. Each of the behemoths had a huge hexagonal hammer hanging from their waists!
As they walked, their huge bodies stomped on the ground step by step, emitting heavy banging sounds! And on the chests of these giant beasts. Each giant beast was holding a huge drum. As he walked. He raised the wooden stick high and struck with all his might. It formed a strange rhythm!
As for the tens of thousands of demon soldiers, they slowly advanced according to the rhythm of the drums. They drove all the way to the defense line of the Great Wall!
When they were about a kilometer away from the trench, the demon soldiers finally stopped.
On the city wall, the officer held a telescope and nervously looked at the enemies in front of him.
This was the first time the demons had attacked Jade Gate Pass. Although most people thought that it was wishful thinking, the arrival of the army still made them nervous.
When the demon army finally stopped, a huge flag was raised from their ranks.
A red flame was burning on the flag. The red sparks were filled with fear. The evil flame seemed to symbolize the destruction of the world. The blood-red light brought by the flame.
Demons worshipped the sun the most. They thought that they were the sons of the sun and the supreme god race. However, they didn't acknowledge the light. They believed that the Radiant Church was an evil believer who had tainted the Sun God.
When the human officer saw the flag, he was about to make fun of it. To ease the tension of the soldiers around him…
When the flag was raised, the tens of thousands of demon soldiers seemed to be greatly encouraged. The demon soldiers suddenly raised their weapons and let out a sky-piercing roar!
The commotion and sound waves caused the expressions of many human soldiers on the city wall to change.
Ten Thousand Demons howled. The weather changed!
"Make way for the general!"
Following a dignified shout from behind, a group of people quickly walked up from behind the city wall. The soldiers on the city wall pushed aside to the sides.
The many generals of the Storm Legion. They surrounded their commander, General Rostock. He walked up the city wall.
The supreme commander of the empire's northern defense line stood by the city wall. He slammed his hand against the wall. He looked coldly into the distance. He then took a pair of military binoculars from his attendant and looked at it for a while.
"Not many." General Rostock said coldly.
"Yes, my lord. From the looks of it, there shouldn't be more than twenty thousand people.”A major general immediately replied.
"Humph. "Abandoning the elite cavalry to attack the city and seize territory, they are courting death," a major general said.
"Reuenthal, don't underestimate the enemy." Rostock glanced at his subordinate who was laughing and scolding loudly…This general looked to be about thirty years old. He had a majestic figure, a square face, sharp edges, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. The beard on his face was not shaved clean. There was still a faint green stubble left. His appearance was similar to General Rostock's.
"Yes…Father." The general called Reuenthal immediately replied in a low voice. He looked into the distance and his eyes were eager to try.
"Call me Lord." "Remember your identity!" Rostock said with a serious face. General Reuenthal!"
The surrounding generals looked at the father and son. No one interrupted. Everyone knew how strict and impartial the old general was.
Rostock stood on the city wall. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of demon soldiers had already spread out. They left a square formation in the front row and quickly spread out, forming a human wall.
Behind them, the demon army began to work quickly. They moved a large amount of wood from the rear and began to set up camp in the distance...
"This is only the vanguard. It seemed like they were going to set up camp here.”Rostock sneered.
"General Andre's airship sent a message. There were no reinforcements behind them! Obviously, this was their vanguard.”One of the generals said," Hmph, it seems like these foreign tribes are also good at fighting. I thought they only knew how to burn, kill, and pillage."”
"A little smarter than magical beasts." Rostock snorted and looked into the distance.
In less than a quarter of an hour, those mo soldiers had already erected a crude wooden wall. Those low-level mo were strong and strong, and were excellent laborers. The banging sounds behind him were endless. A large amount of wood was transported up.
Among the demons, the high-level demons were similar to humans. According to Wu Shuang's thoughts, they were strengthened versions of humans. However, most of the low-level demons were very different from humans. They looked similar to magical beasts and had low intelligence. A few high-level demons controlled most of the low-level demons.
"Father…Lord!" Reuenthal immediately shouted,"Sir! This was their vanguard. They were here to set up camp and attack the front line. I think we should take advantage of this moment. Let's send some people out to charge for a while. Kill their spirit! If he was lucky. Perhaps he could eat this group of people in one bite!”
"They have twenty thousand." " But it looks like half of them are working as engineers," another general said." And they're setting up camp so openly in front of us." You don't put us in your eyes!"
"It's not easy to eat it." Rostock made a decision,"Since we have strong walls and fortifications, we don't need to waste the lives and blood of our soldiers to fight them."”
His words. His son, Reuenthal, was immediately disappointed.
However, the old general changed the topic." However, we can only watch them set up camp and do nothing. They are too weak and will hurt our morale! I need someone to bring people out and fight them. Not too much. Do you see the long formation in front of them? That is the battle formation they use to defend against our attacks. Send a cavalry battalion out. Go teach them a lesson."
"Sir, send me!" At the same time, four or five generals shouted for battle.
Rostock looked at the faces of these people, especially his son, Reuenthal, who looked excited and expectant.
"We can't delay. Don't be greedy. I don't want to eat these 20,000 people in one bite. As long as he showed them some power. More importantly…What I need is to test the demon's field battle strength! I want to see how strong they are…I need someone smart, not someone who doesn't know when to retreat or advance.”
The old general's eyes deliberately missed his son as he slowly said these words.
Reuenthal panicked. "I'll go!" he said, squeezing two steps forward. My lord. I definitely won't be impulsive!"
"Milo!" The old general called out a name, and an officer about forty years old walked up from behind.""My lord!"
"You go. Three thousand cavalrymen should be enough to bring a cavalry battalion. Remember, I just want to test the combat strength of these enemies! Of course, that was if he could expand the results of the battle. You don't have to be polite, but you have to be careful!”
The officer named Milo had an excited look on his face. He immediately bowed and turned to leave. Reuenthal sighed helplessly and looked at his father in grievance.
"Watch carefully, kid. Your temperament is too fierce, too easily impulsive. What I want now is to get the accuracy of the enemy's combat strength. You are a brave general. But he doesn't know how to use his brain!"
Following the order, the three gates on the back of the Great Wall's main gate opened at the same time. A Storm Legion cavalry unit opened up from the three city gates.
In the many trenches. There was still a passage left behind, and the three thousand-man teams quickly gathered at the city gates.
Cavalry of the Storm Legion. He raised the sharp spear in his hand. With a shout. The three thousand cavalrymen shouted,"" Fight for the Empire!!"
The tens of thousands of guards on the city wall also responded with shouts. In the midst of the commotion, the hooves of the horses stomped!
The Empire's most elite cavalry of the Storm Army. Soon, it began to gallop forward like a flood, fiercely charging towards the long formation at the front of the demon soldiers!
The horses 'hooves trampled on the ground, sending dust flying. The heavy iron armor on the cavalrymen's bodies made a crisp collision sound.
Dust flew everywhere. A thousand steps, a hundred steps…The cavalrymen lowered their bodies and pressed themselves against their horses, their spears pointing horizontally forward. It was like a forest of sharp blades!
Thousands of voices shouted at the same time!
The square formation of the demon soldiers at the front quickly gathered. As for the demon soldiers. He quickly took down the huge iron shield that he had been carrying on his back! Each shield was close to two meters tall!
Thousands of iron shields were fiercely stabbed into the ground. It was enough for these iron shields to pierce into the hard frozen soil!
Then, the demon soldiers behind them squeezed together. He used all his strength to block the shield! The long row of iron shields shone with a cold metallic luster under the sunlight, like an iron wall!
Boom!
The flood of cavalrymen finally crashed into the iron wall!
The front of the Empire's cavalry smashed into the iron wall. Instantly, blood and flames surged out! The cavalry at the front tried to break through the enemy's iron wall with the help of their horses. However, less than half of the cavalrymen managed to charge in!
Those low-level demon soldiers were strong. Although they were infantry, each low-level demon soldier was more than two meters tall on average. Even standing there, he was almost as tall as the cavalryman sitting on the horse! In addition to their powerful beast-like strength. Even though it was a galloping horse charging over, borrowing the strength of the charging warhorse. The first wave of attack from the Empire's cavalry. He broke through the iron wall. However, they immediately lost more than a hundred people!
After a gap was created in the shield wall. The cavalry of the empire had just charged in. However, he discovered a helpless situation…these enemies were really too tall!
If it was a human cavalry against a human infantry. As long as they broke through the enemy's fortifications. Then the charge of the cavalry, even if it relied on charging and trampling. It could also cause great damage to the enemy, but these enemies... When they stood on the ground, they were no lower than horses. Some were even higher!
The cavalrymen who broke through the shield wall had just broken through a gap. After charging in, what awaited them was the merciless blades of the demon soldiers!
The first wave of charge. The cavalrymen at the forefront immediately looked up at their horses!
However…As the Empire's most elite Northern Main Battle Legion. The Storm Legion cavalry did not lack courage and loyalty! Despite the screams, the cavalrymen at the back still showed no fear. With the courage to die. They rushed forward one after another!
Soon, the shield wall was broken through everywhere, and in the center, the cavalry had even created a huge hole in the iron wall! The cavalrymen behind them quickly rushed in. The cavalry's long spears stabbed at the huge monsters around them-- However, it was also beneficial for the cavalry who were sitting on horses to assassinate. Because they almost did not need to observe. Although the opponent's huge body had great strength, it seemed to be relatively cumbersome!
Finally. Even though the demon soldiers were strong, they could only use infantry to deal with human cavalry. Their defenses also began to crumble.
However, the speed of the cavalry's charge had already been completely reduced. The human cavalrymen who broke through the enemy's shield wall. It was as if he had fallen into a swamp! The surroundings were crowded with people. Ma Li couldn't be used at all!
The cavalry charged forward. It turned into a battle of attrition!
The combat strength of the demon soldiers. It was far beyond the imagination of the human soldiers! Often, they would use all their strength to thrust out their spears. They stabbed into the demon soldiers. However, it could not immediately make the other party lose his combat strength!
More and more demon soldiers displayed a strength that made humans helpless! Some of the demon soldiers were even struck by several spears. There were a few spears stuck in his body, but he could still roar and cut down the spearmen with a single slash. Then, they used their huge bodies to pounce. The cavalrymen were thrown off their horses!
"Draw your swords! He drew his sword! Kill them!"
Jason, the general leading the army, was already covered in blood. The blood on the armor was already indistinguishable from his own or his opponent's!
He quickly realized that the cavalry was unable to use their spears. He had already grabbed his cross-shaped sword. As an intermediate knight, this general…The longsword had already erupted with battle energy light!
He used all his strength to split the head of a demon soldier in front of him into two halves. He shouted loudly.
The cavalrymen also gave up the spears in their hands. Grabbing the cross-shaped sword, he began to fight the demon soldiers! Miserable cries were heard everywhere. Blood light was everywhere!
The human cavalry was caught in a bitter battle! This was because the armor of the demon soldiers was very hard and thick! Because they were born with outstanding physiques, they wore armor that weighed tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms. However, it would not reduce their fighting strength in the slightest!
Compared to humans, the armor of the mo soldiers was crude. However, it was extremely thick!
Many Roland soldiers realized that they had fought so hard to cut down the enemy. However, he was unable to break through the opponent's hard armor. The other party had already cut off the heads of the human soldiers!
As for humans. However, he was unable to wear such thick armor. These cavalrymen were not heavy cavalrymen in the truest sense of the word. Their armor only weighed about 20 kilograms. It was just that some of the vital parts were thickened…
However, these demon soldiers possessed immense strength. They slashed down. It could even dent the armor of human soldiers!
There were also some demon soldiers who used sledgehammers. However, it could also directly dent your chest!
More and more cavalrymen were knocked off their horses.
In the distance. On the city wall, General Dirostock's face was as gloomy as water! Behind him. Reuenthal, who had been confident just a moment ago, also revealed a shocked expression!
Cavalrymen charging at infantrymen!!
This was a frontal charge of cavalry against infantry!!! Moreover, the strength of both sides was almost equal!!
Based on the vast majority of human battles in the past. In a situation where the forces were almost equal, once the cavalry rushed to the front of the infantry, it would be a massacre!
However, these low-level demon soldiers and monsters. However, they used their super strong defense and their bodies of flesh and blood. They had firmly blocked the frontal assault of the three thousand cavalrymen!!
The humans relied on the horse power to barely break through the enemy's formation, but they were unable to penetrate! He had actually fallen into strangulation!
Finally, in the decisive battle of the human cavalry. The demon soldiers began to slowly retreat. The cavalrymen behind them continued to charge forward, and more and more cavalrymen rushed in through the gap. It was like a wave after wave, fiercely hitting the other side's formation.
Looking from the city wall. The formation of the demon soldiers began to become thicker and thicker, more and more scattered, and then continuously moved back.
However, every time the cavalry advanced a little. They all paid a huge price of blood!
Finally, Milo, who was leading the army, cut down the last demon soldier in front of him. There were no living enemies around him.
As for the demon soldiers. They retreated on a large scale, and Milo was just about to shout for them to be killed. He looked around. His eyes instantly darkened!
Around him. There were almost no soldiers who could stand properly!
All the soldiers of the Lolan Empire who charged into the formation of the demon soldiers. Most of them were knocked off their horses.
Although these demon soldiers retreated, they did not fall into chaos. Milo had many wounds on his body, and his horse had long been killed. His long sword had also been deformed after colliding with the iron hammer of a demon soldier.
The demon soldiers retreated. Behind the wooden wall that had been erected. Groups of demon soldiers lined up and came out.
He looked around. Only half of the 3,000 cavalrymen were left. Milo gritted his teeth."Retreat!"
This was the first time in 10,000 years that the human army had a large-scale field battle with the demon soldiers.
The humans only saw the demons as barbarians. They would bypass the Jade Gate Pass and enter the Central Plains to harass them every time. However, they did not know that the humans could only rely on the sturdy Great Wall to defend the territory of the Empire.
Three thousand human cavalrymen against four thousand demon infantrymen, both sides suffered almost equal losses…but the human casualties were heavier!
Under Rostock's orders, another cavalry battalion left the fortress. However, this cavalry did not go up to fight. Instead, they supported Milo's army and retreated.
The demon soldiers stood far away behind the wooden wall that had just been erected, coldly watching the movements of the human army.
The three thousand cavalrymen lined up and confronted the demon soldiers in the distance. The others nervously moved the corpses, and the demon soldiers did not come forward. General Rostock, who was standing on the city wall, had a serious expression on his face!
"Strong enemies."
Reuenthal suddenly said.
"They are indeed powerful enemies." The old general sighed. He looked at his subordinates with different expressions behind him."They used no more than four thousand infantrymen to resist the frontal assault of our three thousand cavalry, and they lasted for more than fifteen minutes! I think if it was a human infantry army. There is no way to do this."
After pausing for a while, the old general suddenly muttered,""This is the first battle…even though we won, we still lost.”
At this moment, Dead Ma De Le stood on the city wall and looked at the demon soldiers. Among the demons, only the officers were high-level demons, and the rest of the soldiers were ferocious monsters with green faces. However, out of fear of high-level demons, the low-level demons had low intelligence, which was equivalent to the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old human. Moreover, any order would be carried out. Sima De Le looked at the demon soldiers below the city wall and said," This battle is really not going to be easy. I wonder if the demon-defeating plan will succeed." At this moment, the Empire's most elite Azure Dragon Army was on their way to Jade Gate Pass.
Sima De Le looked at Wu Shuang and said," There is a division in the Blue Dragon Legion that belongs to the Sima Clan. It is the elite legion of the clan. The Blue Dragon Legion was built by several big clans of the Empire. It has cost a lot of manpower and resources. I want to hand over the command of the legion to you.”
Wu Shuang turned pale with fright and said," Do you trust me? How can I do that? I don't have any experience in commanding an army at all. If you hand it over to me, it will only ruin this army. You're still handing it over to someone else."”
Sima De Le looked towards the west and said," I will be heading to the west soon. My family is also part of the organization. The organization also wants to train you. Moreover, these old people are no longer suitable to show up. The Radiant Church has already begun to pay attention to our family. They can only send you to replace me. Brother, you can only take it for me. Hehe.”
Looking at Wu Shuang's bitter face, De Le smiled and said,""I'll treat you to two meals at Man Han Restaurant. Alright, I'll compensate you for your mental damage. Let's go, good brother.”
Upon hearing Man Han Restaurant, Bao Bao, who was sleeping on Wushuang's shoulder, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at De Le with excitement. He looked at De Le like a hungry wolf. De Le suddenly felt like crying. Why did this guy wake up at this time? It seemed that he really had to bleed a lot this time.
