The Demons had actually noticed the Undead's movements a long time ago. After all, they were close to the Demons' main city, so their eyes and ears were relatively clear. Of course, the Demons had already sounded the highest alarm. The entire city was on lockdown, ready to defend. But to be honest, the defense of the Demons' main city was still a bit lacking. Although the main city was tall and deep, it hadn't experienced a war for a long time. The last time the Demons attacked the main city was when the Demons' main city was Hoppes. Of course, those people were no longer there. After that, although the Humans and the Demons fought fiercely for hundreds of years, they still didn't attack the main city of the Demons. This time, the residents of the main city of the Demons were basically facing a war for the first time.
Their lack of experience was one problem. Now, the second problem was that the Demons didn't have a commander. All the slightly capable generals such as Gordon, the general of No. 1 corps, Kechnell, the general of No. 2 corps had been killed by Li Huailin alone along with a batch of veteran and future demon generals. That was why the demons became weaker and weaker in the later stages of the war. If they didn't have any generals, how could they defeat the demons?
Now, the defense of the main city was the most important battle, but the Demons were faced with the awkward situation of having no generals available. Indeed, Emperor Bayzera understood military affairs and could be the overall commander, but the Emperor couldn't be in charge of the defense of the city gate. But there was no one to lead such an important position.
As the saying went, heroes were born in troubled times. In this chaotic moment, the third prince of the Demons, Prince Cramander, who was only 18 years old, stepped forward and took over the important task of leading the attack and defense of the city wall. This gave the Demons some peace of mind. After all, the Royal Prince also represented the attitude of the Royal Family. The Demons were most afraid that the Royal Family would just run away. Wouldn't that mean all of them would die here? Now that the Prince was leading the army, it meant that he was going to defend the city to the death.
The strategic work was all handed over to the Palace for discussion. According to the current situation, they basically had all the information about the enemy.
"Your Highness, the 15,000 Undead are approaching our main city. They will probably arrive soon. The 70,000 Humans will need about three days to arrive," the Prime Minister of the Demons, Sauron, reported to Bayzera.
"In that case, there are still three days until the final battle." At this moment, he couldn't believe that 15,000 Demons dared to attack the city. After all, this was the main city of the Demons. Even with twice the number of Demons, they might not be able to take down the city. Although the defending troops in the main city weren't the main army and there were some miscellaneous troops mixed in, there were still at least 60,000 Demons. Attacking the city with only 15,000 was a joke. According to the Demons' speculations, they would have to wait for three days for the Undead and the human armies to converge before the decisive battle began.
"The enemy's two armies have a total of 85,000 people, and they are all regular soldiers. Although we have 60,000 defending troops, they are basically reserves. Although it is impossible for them to take down our city in terms of numbers, but … it is hard to say." Sauron said. There was one more thing he didn't mention. It was about the Duke of Aquitaine. The current Grand Marshal of the human race was Li Huailin. This guy had never really lost a battle. Anyone who met him would panic.
"How is our negotiation with the humans going?" Bayzera asked.
"The human emperor, Anthony, refuses to receive the diplomatic mission. The human race is also very resistant to forming an alliance with the demon race. After all, the two sides have been fighting for a hundred years, and the hatred is very deep. Also, we can't find the human race's Duke Aquitaine and can't get in touch with him directly," Sauron said. "Looks like this battle is inevitable."
Bayzera frowned. No matter if they won or lost this battle, the Demons had lost all their face. They had been attacked all the way to their main city. How embarrassing was that?
"Father, let's take the initiative and attack." While they were discussing, someone suddenly spoke. Bayzera looked down and saw that it was his Crown Prince Marwayne who spoke. Seeing his father looking at him again, Marwayne continued, "There are only 15,000 Undead troops on the east side of the main city. The human troops haven't met up with them yet. We should be able to take down this small number of troops. If we wait for them to meet up with the human troops, it will be even more difficult for us to fight."
Bayzera frowned. This time, he didn't trust this Crown Prince. Previously, when the Royal Family wanted to send someone, he was prepared to send his eldest son, but this Crown Prince forcefully avoided it. Now that his third son, Cramond, had taken over the position, the Crown Prince appeared again. This made Bayzera very uncomfortable. Bayzera said angrily, "You're taking the initiative to attack again. You've already taken the initiative to attack twice. When did the troops return? Now that the main force has been sent back, you're still going to attack? There's no place for you to speak here. Back off! "
Bayzera's tone was very harsh this time. Crown Prince Marwayne's expression also changed. He lowered his head and retreated.
"It's not a good time to attack now." Prime Minister Sauron stood up and slapped the Crown Prince's face. Of course, he was just stating the facts. "Our troops are all reserve troops. They aren't strong. Although the Undead have 15,000 troops, they are all elites. It's difficult to win in a direct confrontation. It's safer to rely on the main city's defenses. We don't have the capital to lose now."
If the Demons still had 100,000 troops, they could send more people out. However, they only had 60,000 troops now. If they couldn't return, there would be no one left to defend the main city. Bayzera and Sauron's considerations were correct and reliable. However, Crown Prince Marwayne didn't think so. He felt that his plan was obviously better, but his father didn't listen to him. He even scolded him with a gloomy expression. However, he didn't dare to retort.
"Report!" While they were talking, a soldier rushed into the main hall of the palace. The city was in a state of martial law. If there was an urgent military report, it didn't need to be reported to the higher-ups. He could just rush into the palace directly.
"Speak!" Bayzera said immediately.
"The Undead army has reached the city … this … that …" The soldier's expression was a little strange. It was as if he didn't know if he should report what was happening below.
"What else? Continue," Sauron said immediately.
"The Undead army seems to be planning to attack the city …" the soldier said in disbelief.
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. Bezerra, who had just recovered from his shock, asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes. They're organizing their troops instead of building a camp. It seems like they're planning to attack the city immediately," the soldier said. "His Highness the Third Prince is preparing for defense."
"Impossible!" Sauron said immediately. "They only have 15,000 troops. They can't attack the city."
"How many siege weapons do they have?" a Minister asked immediately.
"Err … I don't see a single one," the soldier replied honestly.
"You don't see a single one?" Everyone was stunned. Didn't you tell the soldiers to climb the walls, smash the gates, or dig the walls with swords? How could they attack the city without siege weapons? Are you kidding me?
"Indeed, I don't see a single one," the soldier said seriously. The soldiers on the other side said seriously. They also didn't believe it and confirmed it many times, but the Undead really didn't bring any siege weapons.
"Could it be another Bone Dragon?" a Minister asked.
Everyone nodded. They weren't worried about the Bone Dragon because they already knew that the Undead had a Bone Dragon in the previous battle. Of course, it was impossible for the Undead to not use the Bone Dragon when attacking the city. Therefore, the Demons immediately made preparations to deal with it. The entire city temporarily set up many heavy crossbows that could defend against the air. The Magic Crystal Cannons were also modified to be able to defend against the air. Even if the Bone Dragon appeared, the Demons wouldn't be too worried. This was where the Demons were relatively lucky. Although they lost a lot of troops in the previous battle, they at least found out that the Undead had a Bone Dragon. This was good news for them. After all, it would be troublesome if the Undead hid the Bone Dragon until the final battle. At least they were prepared now.
"It's impossible for the Bone Dragon to cause great damage to the city walls. Even if the Undead have a Bone Dragon, their ground troops still won't be able to break in. We just need to prepare anti-air weapons to deal with the Bone Dragon," Prime Minister Sauron said.
"In that case, let the Undead attack the city," Bezera said with a smile. Beyzera chuckled. The Undead Race was too arrogant. Did they really think that they were invincible just because they had the Bone Dragon?
"Report!" As they spoke, another soldier suddenly rushed into the hall and knelt in front of Bezera. "Your Highness, an unknown object has appeared in the western sky. It seems to be flying towards us."
"What? Unknown object? What is it? "Bezera immediately asked.
"I … I'm not sure," the soldier said.
"Not sure?" Bezera was slightly taken aback. He immediately stood up and walked outside. The Demons' palace was located in a very high location. Since it was flying from the west, he should be able to see it as soon as he walked out of the door.
The ministers behind him also followed out curiously. As soon as he walked out of the door, Bezera looked to the west and saw the unknown object that the soldier had mentioned. This thing … was a bit black. Although he couldn't see what it was, it felt very big. It did feel like it was flying towards them.
"Your Highness, the Undead have started attacking the city!" another soldier reported.
"Something's wrong!" Bezera immediately said. "Tell everyone to pay attention to the thing in the western sky."
