Chapter 774 First Battle

The perspective returns to the battlefield——

To the arrival of the Demon King, the Republic of Tula reacted surprisingly calmly.

The orders sent to the front line by the parliamentary gentlemen at the rear hardly mentioned this matter. Perhaps they believed that the Demon King was probably just an illusion created by the rebels in order to shake the morale of the army, so they ordered the battle to continue according to the plan.

It is conceivable how much the generals on the front line praised the congressmen after receiving the order...

Illusion?

The monster army is already right in front of you, and it still looks like a hammer!

While they repeatedly sent intelligence and letters to the rear, they stayed up all night to discuss solutions.

But none of the generals had ever encountered such a situation, and they knew nothing about the Demon King's army's combat effectiveness and tactics. They didn't even know why they were on the side of the resistance. The meeting quickly turned into a group of people.

Frowning and worrying about the tea party.

However, it was not that they did nothing. Although they did not discuss any specific countermeasures, due to the high stakes, the generals reached an agreement on temporarily waiting to see what happens.

After all, if the original battle plan was followed, it would be difficult to say how many of the soldiers it sent out to attack the rebel defenses would come back. The Republic of Tula had already staked everything, and there would be no chance of another attack.

So they wanted to see how the devil made his move first.

The first day was surprisingly calm.

It's a bit weird to be calm.

The Demon King's Army only built defense lines and military camps in places specially vacated by the rebels, without any military mobilization.

this…….

It's normal, after all, it's snowing heavily, and there are many cold-intolerant creatures in the Demon King's army. If there is no suitable shelter, the number of troops may be reduced before the battle begins.

But the scary thing is that the Republic of Tula doesn't know whether they are taking action secretly.

Because on this day, none of the scouts sent out came back to report, it was as if they had disappeared from the world.

At first, it was possible to use beyond-visual-range magic for long-distance observation, but soon, the Demon King's army began to counterattack. Even with magic, they could only see some very blurry scenes, and it was not clear what they were doing.

On the contrary, the resistance army was relatively active and did not have any impact due to the arrival of the Demon King.

Judging from some of the plans brought out by the spies placed by the Republic of Tula in the resistance, it seems that the resistance did not include the Demon King in their combat power and continued to act at their own pace.

Several battles broke out on a front of more than 100 kilometers, the scale was not large, and they basically ended in the victory of the Republic of Tula.

This is exactly as predicted, but I still haven't figured out what the devil wants to do, which is a bit unsettling.

The next day, the Demon King's army began to take action.

This morning, the soldiers guarding the fortress reported that a large number of flying creatures were approaching the fortress, so the battle alarm was sounded in the fortress, and almost everyone was mobilized to prepare for air attacks at any time.

However, the flying force, mainly composed of wyverns and harpies, did not launch an attack. Instead, they dropped a large number of leaflets written on papyrus like rain.

The main body of the leaflet was to accuse the tyranny of the Republic of Tula of how stupid it was, and how the devil would uphold justice and return justice, which made the generals laugh dumbly.

The devil delivers justice?

Didn't you drink too much?

Although not all demon kings are causing trouble all over the world, and not all demon kings can be directly summarized as evil, it sounds very absurd for the demon kings to uphold justice.

If this is to shake the morale of the military, it is too clumsy.

The soldiers at the bottom are illiterate and cannot understand the contents of the leaflets. Even if they understand, no one will care.

So the only purpose of this batch of leaflets is to give the soldiers in the fortress a pile of butt-wiping papers. Not to mention, they are quite useful.

The soldiers in the three major fortresses all laughed at this operation, and the generals were also puzzled.

But that night, they stopped laughing.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the wyverns and harpies flew over the three major fortresses again, and this time they dropped no leaflets, but alchemy bombs.

Suddenly, fires broke out everywhere in the fortress, and explosions continued. The most unfortunate thing was that one of the small warehouses was ignited, and a large amount of stored incandescent glue burned together. The soldiers were busy fighting the fire for half the night.

So, what was the effect of this air strike?

If you want to disgust people, you have achieved your goal.

After all, the alchemy bomb is not TNT, nor is it a high explosive like RDX. The power of the explosion is actually very limited. Moreover, the Wyvern and the Harpy are not bombers, and they do not have such a large bomb load at this level.

The bombing-like method is just scratching the itch for a magically reinforced fortress.

The human losses were also extremely light. After all, when the bombing started, everyone was sleeping in the strong barracks. Except for a few unlucky ones, most people were just burned out.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"Let the flying troops continue bombing and harassing, and the interval is best controlled to about 2 to 3 hours for each fortress."

The messenger took the order and went out, while Elise stared at the sand table and said:

"Has there been any news from Anna?"

The maid golem on one side who acted as a communicator replied:

"The contact just now mentioned that they once again wiped out a reconnaissance light cavalry and are searching for any enemies nearby."

"Very good, let the Dark Veil Monsters and Giant Bats led by Eschenbach continue to search for the target, cooperate with Anna's actions, and knock out all the eyes and ears of the Tula Republic Army."

Elise looked at the sand table that had been repeated countless times and couldn't help but frown.

If they want to inflict such losses on the Tula Republic Army that they have to sit back and talk about it, they still have to break through the three major fortresses on the front and go straight to the rear to cut off their material lifeline.

Is seven days enough to achieve the results Pei Renli wants?

Definitely not enough.

Elysee knew that it was impossible to break through at this time, even with the cooperation of the resistance forces.

What's more, the resistance army is not very friendly towards the Demon King's army.

This is actually not against the Demon King's Army, but mainly because the Resistance Army is like the 18th princes. The composition is too complex and the command is chaotic. Most of them are only responsible for their own one-third of an acre and cannot act as a unified force.

.

Moreover, there are many people in the resistance who are wary of the Demon King's misdeeds. It is difficult for them to understand why the Demon King suddenly appears and why he suddenly wants to help them.

No one really believes that it is for justice and justice, right?

Not long ago, Elysee held a meeting with the leaders of the resistance army as the commander of the Demon King's Army, and she deeply understood why it is taboo to say that an army has multiple commanders...

Just as he was thinking about his next plan, the lizard man guarding the door of the command room suddenly came in:

"Report, Navarre from Free Spark is visiting. Do you want to invite her in?"

"Maybe I have something to ask for. Forget it, let her come in."

Navarre came to the front line with the Demon King's Army, and later turned around with his own troops. He suddenly came over in the middle of the night. It was probably that the resistance army wanted to ask for something, but the other members of the resistance army were not able to speak, so he

Let Naivara come.

"Sorry to bother you while you are busy."

As soon as Navarre came in, he saw Elise standing in front of the sand table, and coupled with the movement of the flying dragon taking off, he guessed that the Demon King's army was taking action at night.

"No, it's not an interruption. I've pretty much taken care of things here."

Elysee left the sand table, turned to Navarre and said:

"What's the reason for you to come in person?"

"We hope to put an end to this magically created blizzard."

The rebels were so frozen that they might not even have the strength to pick up weapons in the next few days.

The mages that can be recruited in the resistance are either adventurers who come to help, or the original leadership of the resistance, and they are basically self-taught wild men with low levels. There is nothing they can do with this kind of magic blizzard.

"I will ask Your Majesty to think of a way...Okay, you can come with me to see His Majesty."

The monsters in the Demon King's army basically live in the warm and humid sea of ​​trees. It is also difficult to survive in the blizzard. At least the lizardmen are almost frozen in hibernation.

This is evidence that the Republic was trying to control the weather with magic long before the war started, so they brought cold-proof supplies in advance, otherwise they would fall down on the first day here.

Elisee led Navarre and knocked on the door on the side of the command room. When she heard a response, she opened the door and went in.

As soon as you enter the door, it's like entering another space, the temperature quickly rises to a comfortable temperature, and it's not just a small room behind the door, but more like entering a three-story villa.

This is Mordenkain's mansion spell, which creates a mansion in a demiplane and has more than a dozen magical servants responsible for maintaining it.

Perenli was lying on a soft sofa in the shape of the devil Atlas. Next to him was an android maid rubbing his shoulders, another rubbing his legs, and another holding a fruit plate and putting grapes into Perenli's mouth.

, he himself took a copy of "Practical Examples of Formation and Conjuration" and read through it.

This shape is very King Zhou.

Alice's eyes twitched, probably because she was busy, while Pei Renli was in the wine pool and meat forest...

But Navarre is still there, so I have to give Pei Renli some face.
To be continued...
