After all, there was only one transmission array, so the troops of each country had to come first. However, the time for each country to gather their troops was also different.
Of course, the most active troops were the Human and Undead troops. They were originally Li Huailin's trusted troops, so of course, they would listen to Li Huailin. So after receiving the Druids' message, both sides quickly began to organize their troops. Of course, they were the first to arrive.
Of course, these two sides also had the most troops. On the Human side, the entire second legion was moved over, a hundred thousand troops. The situation was similar on the Undead's side. Except for the local troops that stayed behind, the rest of the troops were basically moved over. But apart from the two sides, there weren't many other troops that came.
The Dwarves only had ten thousand troops, and they were basically not regular troops. Half of them were craftsmen. The reason was very simple. After the Treaty of the Three Kingdoms, the Dwarves couldn't keep many regular troops. Even if they wanted to send so many, they could only use other troops to make up the numbers. The same situation happened with the Demons. Although the basic population of the Demons was very large, they didn't have many troops. This time, only about ten thousand people came.
The Elves sent more than twenty thousand troops, while the Beastmen only gathered ten thousand. The two sides were at war not long ago, so there was a lot of internal friction. The Elves, who won the war, recovered a little strength, so they sent a lot of troops. But the Beastmen didn't have many troops. It wasn't that the Beastmen had few soldiers, they could all be soldiers. But the problem was that they didn't have any logistical supplies. They couldn't afford to raise an army, and the war reparations were pressing down on them.
In addition to the six big foreign countries, there were also some small countries or forces that received the notice to participate in the war. But their troops were even smaller. More troops came from the Radiant Church's Knights and Druids. They almost turned out in full force. The Radiant Church brought the entire Knights and a lot of Priests, while the Druids brought almost all the living Druids. But apart from them, the rest were just here to mess around.
Of course, these troops would come in batches. After all, there was only one transmission array. Moreover, they received the news at different times, so it would take time for them to gather their troops after receiving the news. Apart from the humans who arrived first, the second to arrive was the Undead army.
While the army was being reorganized, Commander Soudeis of the Undead Race was looking for Li Huailin. However, the problem was that he couldn't find Li Huailin in the entire camp. Soudeis thought about it and decided that he could only ask the human army. They were the only ones who had arrived earlier than him.
"What? Has His Majesty already set off with the human army? " The answer he received stunned Soudeis. What was going on? The troops had not arrived yet, but Li Huailin had already led his men to attack?
"Yes, His Majesty has been away for some time," Veronica Malindolf, the adjutant of the Second Legion, answered Soudeis. Although Li Huailin had gone to attack, of course, it was impossible to let all the troops go with him. Otherwise, who would protect the transmission array if there was trouble? Therefore, Li Huailin waited until almost half of the people of the Second Legion had arrived before setting off. The rest of the people who had not arrived were left behind to defend with Veronica.
Of course, Veronica also wanted to go with Li Huailin. It wasn't easy for her to see Li Huailin again. Veronica expressed that she also wanted to go to the battlefield with Li Huailin, but she had no choice. After all, she was now the Deputy Marshal. At this time, she could only leave Li Huailin to preside over the overall situation. After all, Anthony was going to the battlefield now. Otherwise, it would have been better to leave this matter to Anthony.
Veronica was sulking about the situation of not taking her along. Of course, her attitude was not very good. However, Soudeis didn't care very much. Anyway, the attitude of the humans had never been very good to them. He was more concerned about the situation of their Emperor, Li Huailin.
"His Majesty is going to attack the city with tens of thousands of troops?" After understanding a little about the situation, Soudeis became even more anxious. "This … Isn't this too dangerous?"
Veronica, of course, was a loyal believer of Li Huailin. She immediately said without thinking, "Since when will the Marshal fight an unprepared war?"
"That … That's true." Soudeis quite agreed with this point. After all, Soudeis had also followed in many previous wars. Sometimes, they won inexplicably, and he really couldn't understand it. However, the situation this time was not the same as before. This was the first battle on this new continent. Whether it was the environment, the terrain, or the situation of the enemy, they didn't know anything. This … Was this really okay?
After thinking about it, Soudeis asked, "Did His Majesty say that we should send reinforcements?"
"His Majesty said, 'Look after this place. I'll be back soon.'" Veronica replied. In her heart, she thought that if she could go, she should go herself. Since when was it up to an undead like her to ask this?
"I see." Soudeis nodded. Since Li Huailin didn't say anything, he didn't dare to send the troops over without permission. Although he was a little worried, he could only stay here and defend. Of course, he also prepared the troops. If Li Huailin sent the news that he was going to send reinforcements, they would rush over immediately.
And Li Huailin's side had indeed encountered some trouble. It was true that the environment here was too different from the continent. The first problem was naturally the problem of not being able to see anything.
Of course, all the troops knew about this before coming here. The reason why the Darkness Continent was called the Darkness Continent was naturally because of this. Therefore, when they came here, the second army had actually prepared some things. They were all things used for night battles, such as torches or some magic scrolls. Right now, the people of the second army were marching with torches. However, it was clear that the situation here was more serious than they had imagined. Even with so many people holding torches, the illuminated area was still not big. The situation in the surroundings could be seen clearly, but it was completely dark in the distance.
"It's more serious than I imagined." Anthony glanced at the surroundings. Such an environment was really quite stifling. This caused the soldiers who had been excited to fight alongside Li Huailin to feel a little depressed. Their morale was somewhat affected. Even Anthony's countenance wasn't very good.
"Let's just treat it as fighting at night," Li Huailin said.
"But are we heading in the right direction?" Anthony asked. They had been walking for so long, but they basically couldn't see anything. There wasn't even the sun or the moon. There was no point of reference at all. Li Huailin shouldn't have a map of this place, right? Hence, Anthony was a little suspicious.
"It's fine. The direction is definitely right," Li Huailin said simply.
"Is that so? How do you know? "Anthony asked.
"Above." Li Huailin casually pointed at the position above.
"Huh?" Anthony raised his head. Naturally, he couldn't see anything. There was only darkness above. Was there anything there?
"We're here. There are still 2,000 meters left," Li Huailin suddenly said.
"Huh?" Anthony was stunned again. Looking ahead, there was also darkness. Could Li Huailin see anything?
Of course, Anthony didn't know. In reality, above the entire army, there was a huge black dragon leading the way. Li Huailin had deliberately let Waldfumus fly slightly lower. This way, Li Huailin could directly scan its position and follow it. The 2,000 meters he mentioned earlier was, of course, when Li Huailin scanned the border of the city.
After moving a little closer, Li Huailin could more or less see the general situation of the entire city. First of all, this was a relatively large city. It was about the size of a medium-sized city in the continent. The city walls were also quite tall. After giving it some thought, Li Huailin guessed that the city walls were probably used to defend against monsters, such as the Centaurs they encountered before.
Li Huailin also discovered that the scanning function was very useful. It was no longer just a function similar to vision. For example, right now, Li Huailin could see the specific situation inside the city. This was something that couldn't be seen directly. It was similar to a god's view.
Of course, this was very useful. For example, right now, Li Huailin could see the situation of the army inside the city. Although Li Huailin could see a lot of moving 'people', it was also very easy to distinguish whether they were civilians or soldiers. Of course, it was to see if they were holding weapons. This was something Li Huailin could also detect.
Based on the current situation, Li Huailin discovered that there were quite a lot of troops in the city. It was probably because they were attacked by monsters all year round. At the moment, it seemed that the enemy had already discovered his troops. This was because Li Huailin felt that the enemy seemed to be gathering their troops.
Thinking about it, with so many people marching with torches, the enemy would be able to see them from afar. Light was too rare on the continent. Anyone who saw this situation would feel that something was wrong. As the commander, of course, he would gather his troops immediately.
"Alright, everyone, pay attention." Li Huailin waved his hand, and suddenly the troops stopped. "The enemy has discovered us. The battle is about to begin."
"Please give the order, Your Majesty!" Maccon immediately said.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! " The soldiers shouted in unison. Of course, there was no need to keep quiet at this time.
"Alright, wait here," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Alright, everyone has … Huh?" Maccon was just about to tell everyone to prepare to attack the city, but then he heard something wrong. Li Huailin said to wait here?
"Your Majesty, are we not attacking?" Maccon asked.
"Wait for our vanguard to break the city gate first," Li Huailin said calmly.
"Vanguard?" Maccon was still puzzled. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a huge shadow fell directly in front of the troops.
