In order to cope with the possible attack by the demons at night, the city walls were covered with torches, and more than a dozen knights took turns to stand guard. However, until the sky turned white, there was no abnormality in the forest outside the city.

Daniel was thinking that the demons must be trying to show off their power, so they didn't bother to attack at night.

However, in his opinion, the demons will definitely pay a heavy price for their arrogance.

Not long after, Lydia brought Emil and others to the city gate, planning to fight with the knights.

The knights had seen Lydia's true strength before, and now that they saw her coming, their morale increased greatly.

At this time, perhaps because Emil arrived at just the right time, the scouts on the tower sent out a signal that the demons were incoming. In response, a signal bomb was immediately released from the city gate.

Soon, the beacon towers on the city wall were lit. For a while, horns sounded one after another, and the firelight illuminated the battlefield outside the city.

The town residents had made preparations for evacuation last night. Now when the horn sounded, they hid in the cellar in an orderly manner under the command of the soldiers.

At this time, the few soldiers in the town were arranged to assist residents in evacuating, or to guard some important military strongholds, such as towers for battlefield reconnaissance, crossbow launchers above the city walls, and weakly defended back doors, etc.

Strong knights are responsible for charging forward on the frontal battlefield.

These battle plans were all made by Daniel. Although he had always assisted the army commander in previous battles, most of the time, the commander had to ask him to make suggestions. This was also witnessed by the members of the Knights.

.

Now that the commander is dead, he has the opportunity to show his commanding ability, and the knights trust him unconditionally.

A few minutes later, the demons finally appeared, and Daniel immediately ran to the top of the city gate to personally observe the battlefield situation.

I saw a large group of monsters rushing out of the forest outside the city. There were so many of them, and they were a large black mass, like a tide.

Daniel originally thought that they would stop in the middle of the battlefield, waiting for the demon commander's order, but unexpectedly, those demons seemed to be out of control and rushed straight to the city gate, as if they were going to launch a strong attack.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Daniel quickly signaled the knights to come out of the city to fight.

As the monsters approached the city gate, everyone could see the appearance of these monsters clearly. They were completely different from the monsters that had attacked the town before. They looked similar to locusts, with two pairs of wings and powerful hind limbs, but they were completely black and of the same size.

For half an adult.

What's even more frightening is that they move very fast. The open space outside the city gate is several hundred meters away, but they passed through it within a minute.

The knights did not dare to slack off at all now, and stood not far from the city gate, forming a human wall, because there were only eighteen knights, including Lydia, and Daniel needed to be in command on the city wall and could not go into battle to kill the enemy.

So they can only choose the safest defensive formation.

They formed a circle in front of the monster. The dozen knights on the outside held shields in one hand and swords in the other. Several knights in the circle took the opportunity to extend their swords through the gaps in the shields and cut the monster.

Sion wanted to rush out with the knights, but Lydia warned him that these knights were usually trained and cooperated very well. If he joined, not only would he not be able to help, but he would disrupt their rhythm.

Sion was frustrated for a moment, but Lydia patted him on the shoulder and suggested that he stand near the city gate and let him deal with any fish that slipped through the net. Although he was still reluctant, the matter had come to this, and he had no choice but to

Heeded the order.

However, Emil also suggested that he could directly release Lilith and burn these monsters to ashes.

Daniel heard his words above the city gate, but did not support him in doing so, because this time the demons were launching a general attack, and it could not be just this wave. If the trump card was shown in advance, then the demons would be on guard.

At that time, the war situation will be unfavorable to mankind.

Emil thought it made sense, so he agreed, and he planned to guard the city gate with Sean.

Soon, all the black insect-type monsters rushed over. Because they could jump and fly, the horses placed at the door were of no use at all.

However, this can at least give the knights some security. With their left and right sides lined with resisting horses and their backs against the city gate, the only thing they face is the demon army.

The strange thing is that those monsters can obviously destroy the obstructing horses and make the left and right sides of the knights empty, but they do not do that. Instead, they cross the horses and finally merge into one force to attack the knights in front.

The knights were also happy and relaxed, and they all worked hard to keep the monsters out of the city gate.

Although those monsters could jump and fly, and could easily cross the knight's shield, the knights also knew how to adapt. Whenever the monster crossed the shield, they quickly thrust out their swords, piercing the monster's body in one fell swoop.

This method has been tried and tested many times, and a large number of monsters fell in front of the shield. The knights saw that the monsters were dying one after another, but no one on their own side was lost, so they gradually became more courageous as they fought.

They all felt that the so-called general attack was nothing more than this. From this point of view, humans must have won this battle.

Daniel did not dare to relax at all. He knew that this was just the beginning, not to mention that there was a bigger hidden danger in the town. He placed Emil near the city gate to be wary of Christy.

Although the power of these monsters is not strong, the problem is that there are too many and they cannot be killed in a short time. Moreover, as time goes by, the monsters become less and less aggressive, and sometimes they even directly hit the knight.

on the sword.

It is certainly a good thing for knights to kill as many enemies as possible, but human power is limited after all. The knights on the outermost side have the most contact with monsters because they hold two pieces of equipment. Their physical strength is being consumed rapidly, and many people

They all showed fatigue.

Only then did Daniel realize that the purpose of these monsters might be to consume the knight's physical strength. When the human side's combat power is exhausted, the demons will send a more powerful army.

Lydia, who stayed inside the defensive formation, came into contact with the fewest monsters, and could easily destroy the monsters that broke through the formation, so she had enough time to observe the battle situation and discovered the tricks in it.

She couldn't help but be surprised that the commander of the demon clan was probably as intelligent as a human being, and his commanding abilities were also quite outstanding.

She knew she had no time to waste, so she immediately got out of the gap in the shield and used a sword skill against the group of monsters.

At this time, she didn't have time to accumulate energy to use the sword skill, which also meant that the power of this move was not too great, but in the end, she knocked down a large number of monsters. They either had broken wings or were slender.

Their limbs were cut off, and many of them lost their balance and could no longer stand up.

Upon seeing this, the knights immediately changed their tactics and switched to an attack formation. They threw their shields on the spot, then clasped their swords with both hands and followed Lydia.

Whenever Lydia used a sword skill to cut down a large number of monsters, the knights would rush out to finish the attack and buy time for Lydia's charged sword skill.

Soon, Lydia finished charging up, and the knights quickly retreated behind her to cover her.

The efficiency of this tactic has indeed improved a lot, but this is also the decision Daniel made.

These knights don't know how to adapt when no one is commanding them. They always lose their ability to think on the battlefield, and sometimes they don't even know the direction.

Of course, this cannot be entirely their fault. After all, knights have always been able to exert their full strength in one-on-one battles. Once they reach a battlefield with complex environment, they will not be able to calm down and their thinking will become confused.

So, Daniel warned them that they didn't need to think too much when they arrived on the battlefield. They just needed to act according to the tactics planned in advance. When encountering too many enemies, they would shrink into a defensive formation. When the enemy was in a weak position, they would immediately switch to an offensive formation.

, but no matter what the formation is, it cannot be too far away from the target of protection.

Originally, every knight would overly consider their own safety issues when they arrived on the battlefield, worrying that they would be attacked by the enemy during combat. However, with such tactics, they only need to change their formation according to the enemy's situation.

, there is no need to be distracted and think about other things.

With Lydia's sword skills, the knights can finally take a break after fighting. When Lydia gets tired, they switch to a defensive formation again, with the knights on the periphery responsible for the main battle, and Lydia can take advantage of the opportunity.

rest.

In short, half an hour passed like this, and those insect-shaped monsters could not get even half a step closer to the city gate. On the other hand, the knights, relying on the tactic of waiting for work, were still full of fighting spirit.

…

Some time passed, and both Emil and Sion could only stand stupidly at the city gate. However, Emil was still vigilant about every move in the town.

Sure enough, not long after, a figure walked out from the military camp in the distance. It was not until the figure approached the city gate that Emil finally saw clearly. There was no doubt that it was Christy.

She hung two swords on her waist and approached them with slow steps.

Seeing that there was no need to worry on the battlefield, Daniel turned his attention to the city and also noticed Christy.

Although Emil is protected by a dragon, he may not understand Cresty's sword skills. If he were a little slow to summon Lilith, he might be killed by Cressity's sword.

So, Daniel quickly ran down and stood in front of Emil.

"My dear Lord Christy, why are you here in person? Is it possible that you want to violate the rules and go to the battlefield privately?"

Daniel said with a smile on his face. At this time, he still wanted to try his best to stabilize Christy's mood.

"..."

However, Christy remained silent. She stood in front of Daniel, folded her hands on her chest, and slowly closed her eyes.

If it were the old Cresty, when her knights talked to her, she would still respond no matter how dismissive they were.

But now, she didn't even care about Daniel. However, looking at her posture, everyone quickly understood that Christy was accumulating strength for her sword skills.

It seemed that at this time, she was no longer in the mood to explain, but chose to start fighting directly.

Daniel did not have the confidence to stand up to Cresty's sword skills head-on, so he quickly turned around, grabbed Emil by the collar and ran away. Seeing this, Sion also hurriedly hid in a safe place outside the city gate.

"Sorry, Daniel."

Christy murmured in a low voice, and then opened her eyes suddenly, and there was a faint golden light shining in her pupils.

The next moment, her two swords were unsheathed at the same time, and even the blades seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. Christy rushed towards Daniel at an extremely fast speed.

The two were running when they suddenly realized that Kristy was getting closer and closer to them. Seeing that they were about to be overtaken, Daniel suddenly stood still, pushed Emil away, and at the same time stabbed Kristy with his sword.

Di.

"Quick, summon the dragon!"

Emil was pushed at the critical moment and was out of the range of Christy's attack, but was dizzy for a moment. However, he quickly woke up and shouted at the ring on his hand.

"Lilith, it's your turn to play."

Immediately, a burst of dark red light burst out, and a huge shadow appeared on the ground.

Christy originally wanted to pierce Daniel's chest directly, but when she was about to exert her force, she suddenly saw the shadow in front of her, and she couldn't react for a moment. She didn't understand what happened.

Immediately afterwards, a huge creature appeared. She flapped her wings and instantly blew up a cloud of dust, blinding everyone's sight.

Because she was unclear about the situation, Christy immediately took a big step back and temporarily withdrew her sword skills.
