For this raid, the Demons had deployed 10,000 troops, which were previously used to build a temporary dam above the Hailgaro River. To be honest, the Demons didn't expect the undead to choose to cross the river, so they didn't plan to fight from the beginning. Considering the possibility of being discovered, the general leading the army was a commoner, the young General Elway, who hadn't yet been conferred the title of nobility. The soldiers weren't part of the main force either; they were just troops that were better at construction.
But something that the Demons didn't expect happened. The Undead actually chose to cross the river. Moreover, they chose to cross the river without any investigation at all. Moreover, they used a small boat that was found in a nearby village, the kind used for fishing.
Elway couldn't quite figure out what the commander of the undead was thinking. Was it because the water level of the Hailgaro River had been relatively stable in recent days? Or was it because the weather was better? But since the other party didn't know why they were so stupid, the people on the Hailgaro River were also decisive. They immediately launched an attack order.
When the undead troops were halfway across the river, the Demons on this side chose to attack. It was near evening, and the sun was just about to set. The Demons on this side suddenly dug open the dam upstream, and in an instant, a huge wave rushed downstream with unstoppable momentum.
Several teams of the undead troops on this side had already crossed the river, but because there were fewer boats, most of them stayed here. They didn't expect to encounter such a huge torrent. Of course, the speed of the current was definitely faster than two feet. Even if they wanted to run, it was too late. In an instant, the entire army was submerged in the water, and countless soldiers were washed away.
Soon, the Demons led by Elway arrived. There were 5,000 people on the south bank and 5,000 on the north bank. The 5,000 people on the south bank were personally led by Elway. Because the bridge had been destroyed, there was almost no possibility for these 5,000 people to return. At the moment of personal life and death and the survival of their country, these Demons were desperate and fought bravely.
Commander-in-chief Elway wasn't a noble and didn't receive a good military education. But it was precisely because of this that he fought his way up from the bottom with his own ability. He had rich combat experience. At this time, he still used the strategy of illusory soldiers. Seeing that it was getting late, he asked the soldiers to bring more torches. Although there were only 5,000 people on this side, it seemed like an astonishing number.
The undead troops on this side had just been hit by the flood. The soldiers who were lucky enough not to be washed away had just recovered when they heard battle cries. When they looked up, they saw torches all over the mountains. It looked like the Demons had launched an all-out attack. In an instant, their morale collapsed, and they had almost no desire to fight back. Without a word, they began to retreat. In addition, because the flood had destroyed the Demons' formation, the soldiers couldn't find their commanding officer. Once the troops collapsed, they couldn't be called back.
Even Elway didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly. As soon as the two sides came into contact, the undead troops on this side collapsed instantly. Although the Demons on this side weren't good at fighting, they showed amazing combat strength, and the undead troops fled with their tails between their legs. Relying on this momentum, Elway slowly began to feel confident. He led his troops to encircle the remaining undead troops and gained a lot.
In the dark, the troops on both sides fought for about an hour. The undead had suffered heavy losses, and there were almost no troops left. On the other hand, the Demons had almost no losses. On the other hand, the undead troops on the north bank who had crossed the river were also attacked by the other 5,000 Demons and were completely defeated.
The battle lasted until the evening. At this time, the Demons were finishing up the final work. At this moment, the Demons on this side reported a situation. They found a group of undead troops on the right side. There weren't many of them, only about 500. However, they seemed to have seen an Undead Lord there.
Elway was excited when he heard this news. It turned out to be an Undead Lord. As everyone knew, there were a total of five Undead Lords (Matthew hadn't regained his title in the undead race). Their status was similar to the Marshal of the Demons. If they could capture one, it would be a big breakthrough for the Demons. They might even be able to use it to exchange for Marshal Gordon of the Demons, whom Elway admired very much.
Without saying anything, Elway immediately decided to chase after the Undead Lord. The undead troops on this side were almost finished. Elway summoned all his troops and rushed in the direction of the Undead Lord.
At this time, the Undead Lord who was gathering the remaining troops was Fiona. Fiona looked very embarrassed. Her whole body was covered in water, and there was not a dry spot. When the flood came, Fiona was at the rear and had not yet crossed the river. The other Lord, Dennis, was commanding the troops at the front. It was estimated that he had been washed away by the water.
After the flood, Fiona was also dizzy and didn't come to her senses for a long time. By the time she came to her senses, the Devil Race troops had already started to attack. In a panic, Fiona tried to organize troops to fight back, but she failed. The troops were too panicked. Not only could she not call them back to line up, but she also trampled on the soldiers on her side.
Seeing that there was no other way, Fiona could only withdraw from the center of the battlefield and organize the scattered troops in the rear. As a result, when she had just gathered about 500 people, they were discovered by the Demons. Immediately, 5,000 pursuers rushed over.
"My Lord, the enemy's troops are rushing toward us!" The Undead soldiers on this side shouted when they saw the torches coming toward them.
"Damn it!" Fiona directly pulled out the sword from her waist and shouted, "I've never been so pale. How can I face His Highness again! Soldiers, kill as many as you can. Let's fight back! "
Although she shouted bravely, she did not get a response from the troops on this side. The morale of the Undead troops was low, and they had no intention of fighting back at all. The adjutant next to her also saw the situation and immediately said to Fiona, "My Lord, the morale of the soldiers is low. They can't fight anymore. Besides, Lord Dennis's life and death are unknown. You are the only one left in the army who can be in charge. If you are defeated, our troops will really be scattered. We'd better retreat to the rear to gather the remaining soldiers and make plans."
"Okay!" Seeing that the troops behind her were really low in morale, Fiona could only temporarily suppress her anger and then said, "Everyone, retreat with me!"
"Run!" Hearing the order to retreat, the soldiers naturally began to run immediately. They originally wanted to run, but now they simply scattered. They did not even know where they were running to. Anyway, they ran in the opposite direction of the Demons, which happened to be the direction in which Li Huailin was rushing over.
At this time, Li Huailin also arrived at the scene of the incident and appeared in front of the fleeing troops.
"What are you afraid of? Everyone, listen up. Those who are running for their lives in front, listen up. Turn around and fight back with me!" Li Huailin shouted directly at the troops who were running away.
"It seems to be His Highness!" Fiona looked forward in the crowd. Although it was too dark and she could not see clearly, the person in the black robe should be His Highness.
Without saying a word, Fiona immediately stopped and shouted to the troops behind her, "Everyone stop! Listen to His Highness's order, turn around and attack the Demons! "
"It seems to be Lord Fiona's voice." Soudeis, who was next to Li Huailin, also heard the voice, but because it was too dark, he could not see where it was.
"Who cares who he is! Follow me! "Li Huailin said as he pulled out the Divine Sword, Dim Light, from behind his back.
As the rest of the troops were directly under Li Huailin's command, Li Huailin's War God's special effect was activated, and the morale of the troops directly changed from -8 to -2. Coupled with the increase in all attributes, it also gave the Undead soldiers the illusion of great power. Naturally, the Undead soldiers on this side actually stopped moving.
"It feels like we have power again!" shouted the Undead soldiers on this side.
"Following His Highness is the right thing to do. Previously, a troop of 1,000 wiped out an army of 70,000. What are we afraid of?"
"Yeah, yeah, let's go back and kill them!"
Just like that, the defeated Undead army really followed Li Huailin's side and killed their way back. This time, it was the Demons' turn to be dumbfounded. Obviously, they had not noticed the change in this army. Seeing the Undead army counterattacking, the Demons did not know what to do because they lacked combat experience. They were not the main force in the first place. They were only here to repair the dam. They could fight when the Undead army was running all over the street, but when the Undead army suddenly counterattacked, they did not know how to deal with it.
"Don't panic … Get into formation, just like during training! Everyone, get into formation! " Elway also knew that his troops would not be able to fight in a real battle. At this time, he could only temporarily command. Fortunately, he had an advantage in numbers. Otherwise, Elway would not want to fight anymore.
"F * ck them!" Li Huailin jumped into the air and instantly activated the Black Beast's Descent skill. With a loud bang, Li Huailin had turned into a huge black beast when he landed.
Facing this guy that they had never seen before, the Demons were instantly dumbfounded. What is going on?
"What … is this?" Elway asked in a daze.
