Chapter 241: Numbers at a Disadvantage

Chapter 241: Numbers at a Disadvantage

That’s right, Kant had some impression.

Look at those demon troops behind the city walls, strangling the game Kant was once familiar with.

“Invincible hero”

The dark red demon was nearly half a meter tall and looked like a sturdy dwarf. It was flapping the small wings on its back and was rapidly jumping forward. It was holding a black cast iron short fork, and its eyes were full of cunning and cruelty.

In Kant’s eyes, it was really like the most basic troop class of Hell in the game, the demon infant!

There was a slight commotion among the troops that were recruited by the system.

This was not an ordinary enemy.

They had never encountered such a demon troop before, let alone start a war.

Although the 188 Swadian heavy calvary had a similar experience.

It was a war against the expedition army of the Kingdom of Gray Mane. However, the Jackalan were different from the demons. For example, the demons that were currently appearing on the ruins of the city walls, their strange appearances, and the evil aura that they were emitting, they looked like they were having a heart attack!

Although they did not fear death, many of the soldiers were still nervous.

This was the fear towards the legendary creatures.

The mage apprentices were students to begin with. They were still in the internship period and could not be considered real mages.

Hence, their morale and psychological quality were low.

Standing behind Kant, the seven mage apprentices reminded him in a panic, “That’s… that’s the imp. It’s the most typical troop class of cannon fodder in the forces of Hell. Although it looks weak, its strength, speed, and agility are far stronger than the average human peasant. Even the militia would not be able to fight against these imps.”

“Yes, I understand.” Kant nodded calmly.

One could tell just by looking at the Imps’ bodies.

Although they were short, they were as strong as tree stumps. Their thighs and arms, as well as the skin under their chests, were filled with muscles.

The two wings on their backs were not decorative.

When the wings flapped vigorously, they could even bring in a gust of wind. As the infantile imps hopped on their hind legs like antelopes, they provided additional support. They could even provide a short gliding ability, allowing them to fly seven meters away.

It was indeed as the mage apprentices had said, their agility and speed were very strong.

But what made Kant even more worried was behind them.

The long-horned demon.

Although its body was bent, it was nearly three meters tall, and the muscles all over its body were protruding clearly.

Its thick arms hung on the ground, and a number of sharp spikes grew on its broad back, from its neck to its spine. Its front hands were like beast claws, much thicker than its hind legs, and also had a dark metallic luster. As it roared, it spewed out a little black smoke, looking ferocious and terrifying, his eyes were as violent and crazy as a demon’s.

It was obvious that the long-horned demons, who did not have any weapons, relied on brute force and brutal emotions to fight.

“This is not an optimistic battle.”

Kant spoke slowly.

Although these demons from hell were in a messy formation, or rather, there was no so-called formation at all, they were still the number one enemy by relying on their brutal and crazy fearlessness.

It was comparable to the Jackalan Expeditionary Army that Drondheim had encountered when he was still a fortress.

The only exception.

Perhaps it was because the number of demons from hell was relatively small.

“Yes, it’s not optimistic.”

Bandake nodded and said calmly, “We will do our best.”

“Very good.” Kant chuckled.

That was enough.

He turned his head to look behind him with a grim expression. There was a determination to sacrifice in his gloomy eyes. He took a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, “In this battle, we can only choose to win because behind us is Aaron and Drondheim. There is no way out. It is impossible for us to choose to compromise.”

With his legs tightly clamped on his warhorse, Kant pointed the knight’s sword in his right hand to the front while his left hand held the horn tightly. He shouted in a deep voice, “There is no excuse to escape. We are all for victory!”

“For victory!”

The many soldiers behind him let out a furious roar as if they were venting their anger.

And then, the battle began.

The golden lion on the red bottom began to flutter in the air. The flag fluttered even though there was no wind, as if it was being blown by a strong wind!

The troops that were already in formation began to push forward.

The archers were in the front while the infantrymen were at the back. The cavalry occupied the two wings. It was a conventional battle formation.

It was close to a range of 200 meters.

At the very front, the Archers of Ravenston were the first to draw their bows and shoot arrows. There were a total of 87 Rangers and Patrollers. Among them, there were 47 Rangers of Raveston who were archery masters and had excellent archery skills!

“Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh –”

In an instant, a rain of arrows formed by conical arrows rained down continuously.

They were the first to attack!

Kant and the others would not pay attention to their manners with the Hell Demons.

What they wanted was for them to use the rain of arrows to continuously attack the enemies before they formed a formation when they left the city wall. This would weaken the enemy’s morale at the same time!

According to Kant’s understanding, although the demons were violent and crazy, they also had brains to think.

This meant that they also had morale!

The mage apprentices from the Emfath Empire had already reported this point.

The rain of arrows that fell on them instantly caused many of the little demons that were jumping at the front to collapse. They let out strange cries and occasionally, there would be arrows that hit the salt mines directly. The Arrows went straight into their brains, making these little demons seem vicious and cunning as well, the Imps who were like brutal terrorists were instantly fatal.

It seemed that even the imps were like flesh and blood, with fatal points!

This was good news.

Kant raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, but his face was still calm. He pointed the Knight’s sword in his right hand forward and ordered in a deep voice, “Bandake, lead the crossbowmen and shoot freely!”

“Understood!”

Bandake answered in a low voice.

Raising the siege crossbow in his hand, the 20 Rhodoks sniper crossbowmen beside him also raised their own siege crossbows.

The steel bolts that were meticulously forged by Luo duoke were all made of steel. They were already stuck in the firing slot of the siege crossbow. As they aimed at the wall where the imp and the long-horned demon came out, they pulled the trigger heavily.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang –”

The fine and powerful bowstring vibrated violently.

Between the slightly parabolic trajectory of the cone arrow, the straight silver light instantly tore through the void and appeared in front of the IMP who was still jumping!

It was a steel bolt shot by the siege crossbow.

After being shot by the siege crossbow, this kind of steel bolt was extremely powerful and had an extremely strong aftershock.

Even the head of the Imp in the front row could not withstand the steel crossbow that came in an instant. It was pierced through and crushed the brain matter in the head. From the inside out, the back of the head was sent flying, bringing along the white brain matter and bright red blood, it splashed all over the bodies of the surrounding demons.

The power of the steel crossbow actually killed the imp instantly!

“Continue shooting!”

Kant, however, still gave the order in a deep voice.

Now was not the time to be excited. Although they knew that the demon army still had flesh and blood, and were creatures that could be killed by ordinary means, their numbers were simply too many!

So many that Kant could not even imagine!

At the ruins of the city wall, the enormous abyss demon had already left, seemingly uninterested in the following battle.

However, a large number of demon troops appeared in the square.

They were howling and roaring in a simple and strange demon language. They began to push forward in Kant’s direction. Less than 200 meters away, the dark mass of red and black demons was almost like a tide. There were also many demonized creatures mixed within, the wanton roars were obviously driven by these demons.

According to Kant’s estimation, the number of imps was close to 500, the number of long-horned demons was close to 200, and the number of demonic creatures mixed with them was also close to 500.

Overall, Kant’s army was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers!

Even if the rain of arrows poured down, the bolts were extremely fast, and a large number of imps and demonic creatures fell.

However, the entire demon army that was pressing down on them had yet to suffer a severe blow.

After all, there were more than a thousand of them. The ones at the front were the low-level imps and the beast-like demonized creatures. Clearly, the long-horned demons that were the main force of the war had yet to be injured.

Even if they were hit by the AWL arrows, if they were not vital parts, they would casually wave their hands and pull them out. The muscles on the bodies of these long-horned demons were the best armor. They did not care at all!

The distance of 200 meters was not far to begin with.

Under the rain of arrows and bolts, more and more imps and demonized creatures were approaching the 50-meter area.

The long-horned demons, who were good at close combat, shrank back.

The battle mentality of this group of demons was very clear.

It was to follow the imps and demonized creatures as cannon fodder and let the long-horned demons get close to the enemy’s front line. Then, they would use their burly and strong bodies to wreak havoc among the enemy, completely destroying the enemy’s line of defense, crushing the enemy’s will to resist, and gaining the initiative on the battlefield, thus, they would win!

To the demons, the imps with low combat power were cannon fodder.

As for the demonized creatures that were nurtured with demon blood and wild beasts, they were not even cannon fodder.

If it was not for the fact that the Lord of the Great Abyss had just broken the seal and awakened, and all the power that had dissipated was in this underground city and could not be recovered, they could only use this power to transform wild beasts into the lowest-level demon servants and beasts to make up for the current lack of military strength!

If it was thousands of years ago, when Hell was at war with the gods, even the long-horned demons were cannon fodder, and the Lord of the Abyss was an existence that could be sacrificed. The battle situation was so tragic that it was close to genocide.

Now, it was just a small fight.

As the supreme lord of the demons of hell, the King of Evil, and the ruler of the flames,.

Ameng Qieke disdained to watch such a battle.

Humans, in his eyes, were once the servant race of the gods. No, it should be said that they were a slave race, born weak humans. On the battlefield, facing the Devils, the troops almost collapsed at the touch. Only the troops formed by the blood descendants of the Gods could resist the attacks of the Devils.

Correspondingly, if an army formed by humans launched an attack, the demons would not even care about it. They would just casually send out the lowest-level demon army to deal with it.

From ancient times until now, it was the upper-level demons and blood descendants of the gods that were the true main force of the battlefield!
