Archdemon

Less than fifty miles away from the army of the Ante Empire, this was originally an abandoned town, but now it has become the place where the demon army is stationed.

From the outside, this town seems to have been abandoned for many years, but if there are cavalrymen going deep into it, they will find that it is full of elite black-armored soldiers.

A team of cavalrymen from the Ante Empire rode towards this location.

This place is not far from the army camp, and it is also a town with abandoned buildings. Almost every cavalry commander will send his men to check it.

The Ante cavalrymen, wearing red cavalry armor, slowly approached this ruin that seemed to be sleeping.

A cavalryman smiled and said, "Captain, this town has been inspected so many times, do we still need to inspect it?"

"What nonsense! Just execute what the adults ordered!" A low-level cavalry officer at the head flicked his whip and said to the soldier who had just complained, "You will go in first later!"

"Okay, okay, you are right, I will go first~" The cavalryman didn't care.

They rode their horses towards the ruins. This was originally a small town in the Kingdom of Alto, belonging to a lord in the north.

However, because it was too close to the border and the Ante Empire would invade from time to time, the residents here had long been unable to resist the frequent attacks and all moved to other places.

The town has been abandoned for several years. After the cavalry entered the town, they saw the dilapidated doors and windows of the houses and the roads in the town were overgrown with weeds.

They were no longer the first batch of scout cavalry to enter the town. The weed-filled road in front had been trampled out into a small path by the previous rounds of cavalry.

The cavalry were still looking at each other, and sometimes they bent down to see if there were any people hiding in the dilapidated houses.

But they obviously returned in vain. This ruin had been abandoned long ago and there was no one hiding at all.

But from the perspective of the demon army here, it was another scene. These cavalry were advancing in the gaps between their neatly arranged teams.

Sometimes the saliva sprayed from the snorts of the war horses would spray on the demon soldiers next to them.

The tall weeds that the cavalry saw were all these black-armored demon soldiers.

In a clean house, Huo Ling was standing here with his hands behind his back, looking at the map in front of him.

Behind him were several court mages and the middle and senior officers that Augustine had placed in the demon army. These officers were responsible for commanding the battle of the entire demon army after the war.

They were particularly surprised by the performance of the cavalry outside. The court mage might have guessed it, but he was a little unbelievable.

These cavalry who came to scout had been hit by Huo Ling's suggestion before entering the ruins of the town.

Now even if they killed a few of their cavalry, they would not feel anything wrong.

Soon, these cavalry left again. In their reconnaissance report, there would be no problem with the ruins of this town.

...

It took two days for the Ante army to rest while summarizing the intelligence of the scouts, and finally convinced the Duke that there were no ambushes around.

So on the third day, the Duke climbed onto the command platform, drew the long sword from his waist, and swung it heavily towards the nearby Blue City.

"Begin the attack!!"

The messenger waved the flag on the command platform, and someone below lifted a huge horn, puffed up his breath and blew the horn of war.

"Woo!!!"

The desolate horn sounded throughout the sky of the entire area, and the official battle began.

Various siege weapons were pushed by ordinary soldiers and slowly approached the city wall.

Various medium-sized weapons, such as giant crossbows and catapults, were pouring attacks on Blue City.

The counterattack in the city was no less impressive. Many houses within the city wall were demolished, and a lot of heavy catapults were arranged behind.

Fire bombs and stone bombs were fired one by one, attacking the enemies outside the city.

More powerful than these heavy weapons were the attacks of the mages, whose attacks were more powerful, faster and more accurate.

In the Mage Corps position behind the Ant Army, hundreds of mages chanted spellcasting runes in unison, and a large amount of magic power and runes were condensed by them.

A powerful war spell was fired by them. For spells, such a short distance can almost be said to be reached in an instant.

But this war spell did not explode with the expected power. This spell was intercepted by the Alto court mages in the city.

In mid-air, the war spell hit by countless spell removals collapsed into a ball of useless magic.

WarThe battle between the mages was so plain, just a simple battle between spears and shields. When one side could not hold on, it was the time when the other side suffered a terrifying magic attack.

On the ground, a steady stream of soldiers began to attack the city, fighting back and forth with the enemies on the city wall.

Both sides had to pay a lot of casualties in this battle, and the incomplete defense of the city of Blue began to slowly emerge.

The casualties between the Ante Empire and the defenders were much lower than expected, which was a good thing for the Kingdom of Alto.

But the Duke, the commander of the Ante Empire army, always felt that something was wrong. He believed in his intuition, which saved him more than once.

The Duke frowned. His strength was also in the Holy Domain, and with his different status, he could command other Holy Domains in the army.

The Duke kept pacing on the command platform, observing the siege situation. Suddenly, he waved his sword and pointed at Blue City: "Order! Launch a general attack directly! Let the Sanctuaries go out!"

"What! Lord Duke, the battle plan is not like this." A noble who was also on the command platform was full of astonishment.

Although the elite soldiers are all professionals, the siege war cannot be fully staked on the first day.

Often a siege war will last for more than ten days or even one or two months. If all the chips are pressed, it will only increase the losses when the defenders are in the best condition.

"Something is wrong, let the Sanctuaries go to me, I want to see how many Sanctuaries there are in the city!" Lord Duke's face was as cold as frost, and he continued to issue orders.

"Yes! Lord!"

A general quickly issued the latest order. Although the soldiers did not all press, the Sanctuaries were ready to be gradually dispatched.

The Sanctuaries here are different from the spirit world and purgatory. The Sanctuaries are already at the peak of transcendence in the Terry plane, and the status of each one is particularly noble.
