"How's the situation?" Li Huailin appeared in front of Soudeis in a flash. However, Soudeis was already used to this situation, so he wasn't too surprised by Li Huailin's sudden appearance.
"Your Highness, the enemy's troops have begun to move, but it seems that their numbers are slightly less than we estimated," Soudeis reported immediately.
"Slightly less? How many people are there?" Li Huailin asked.
"About … 50,000 people," Soudeis answered after thinking for a while. Soudeis estimated it based on the information he received from various places, and he had to admit that his estimation was very accurate.
"50,000?" Li Huailin was a little disappointed. He thought that the other party would send more troops, but he didn't expect them to only send half of their troops. It seemed that the Demons here were very careful, afraid that they would drag their entire army into a trap. However, this idea was obviously very wrong. They were already at a disadvantage at this time, and if they wanted to fight back, they had to go all out. Otherwise, how were they going to pull back?
Although he was a little unhappy with the number of the enemy's troops, it was also very satisfying to drag these 50,000 people into a trap. Li Huailin nodded and said, "Where are they now?"
"We didn't send any troops to follow them, but according to their advancing speed, they should be a few miles away from us. We should be able to see them soon." Soudeis also didn't send any reconnaissance troops to follow them for safety reasons. After all, they were already prepared. Even if the enemy suddenly attacked, they could deal with it perfectly.
"Then let's wait for them." Li Huailin smiled and looked to the north, waiting for the appearance of the Demons here.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, rows of troops appeared from the north and headed this way. Although the Demons here were marching very carefully, it was really impossible to completely hide such a large army.
"Your Highness, they are here," Soudeis said. "Should we 'pretend' to have discovered them?"
"Okay, okay, we can discover them now. We are already here. They won't believe that we didn't discover them," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Okay, we can already discover the Demons' troops. Sound the alarm," Soudeis shouted to the soldiers next to him.
In an instant, the undead camp on this side began to bustle. Of course, this was deliberately arranged. From the outside, the undead camp seemed to be in a panic. Even the people who sounded the alarm were in a mess, as though they were fighting randomly in a panic. The soldiers were also running around in the camp, as though they were gathering for an emergency response.
This situation obviously deceived the Demons who had already arrived near the undead camp. According to the current distance between the two troops, both sides could barely see each other's situation. To be honest, Mitri was very glad that the undead only discovered them here. This was already the best situation. It was really a blessing from the Demon God. Although they had been discovered, this distance was already very good. Since he heard the alarm, Mitri didn't hide anymore. He directly pulled out his sword from his waist and shouted to the Demons behind him, "Okay! Now! Charge! Kill these undead dogs! "
"Kill! Kill! Kill! " The Demons weren't in a bad situation. The fatigue from the long-distance attack hadn't been completely eliminated, but at least they saw that the plan was very successful and the morale of the soldiers was maintained. Accompanied by earth-shattering battle cries, the fifty thousand troops of the Devil Race rushed directly to the Undead's camp.
The undead camp was just a temporary camp. From the outside, it looked very simple and crude. It was basically just a circle of wooden walls, but in fact, it was also for show. Ever since the plan was formulated, Soudeis had focused on the interior of the camp, and the appearance of the outside was for the Demons to see.
At the beginning of the battle, the offensive and defensive battles on both sides were still normal. The Demons on this side attacked crazily, while the undead used the surrounding wooden walls to defend themselves. However, the defensive firepower wasn't very strong, and even the volleys of arrows were very messy, unable to achieve the goal of killing at all. This situation made Mitri even more certain that the Demons were definitely in a panic, so he urged the Demons on this side to step up their attacks.
"Charge! Charge in! "Mitri stood in the middle of the team and shouted." The first person to charge in will be promoted by three levels! Reward 100 gold coins! "
The temptation of the reward was still there. The Demons also rushed in crazily. Under such a crazy charge, the wooden walls on this side couldn't hold on at all. It wasn't because the undead could not climb up, but because the whole wall was about to collapse.
"Captain, we can't stop them!" the Demons on this side said immediately.
"Okay, it's almost time. Our goal has been achieved. Retreat slowly." Of course, the undead captain also knew their plan. At the beginning, they just needed to block a little, and there would be surprises for the Demons later.
So the undead army on this side also retreated as they fought, slowly retreating to the rear. As for the Demons' army, because there were fewer people blocking them, their progress was faster. Soon, the Demons' front line had successfully broken through the wooden walls and opened the gate of the camp from the inside.
"General Mitri! We've broken through the gate! " Someone immediately reported the good news to Mitri. Hearing that they had successfully broken through the gate, Mitri was overjoyed. He felt that victory was right in front of him.
"Good! Charge in! While they are in a mess, charge in and set fire to them. The more chaotic they are, the better. " According to Mitri's understanding, the undead camp was only one step away from blowing up. If they set fire everywhere and charged in, the enemy should be immediately defeated.
With a smile on his face, Mitri led the troops into the enemy's camp. However, as he walked, the troops in front suddenly stopped, and he couldn't continue forward.
"Why did they stop in front!" Mitri shouted. He couldn't see the situation in front, so he didn't know what was going on.
"General, there are undead troops in front!" someone in front reported.
"Nonsense, this is the undead camp. There are no undead troops there," Mitri said angrily. "Charge, kill them all!"
"But … General, come and see for yourself," the soldier said.
"Huh?" Although Mitri was a little puzzled, he didn't curse. He shouted to the soldiers in front of him, "Get out of the way! Make way!"
The surrounding soldiers gave way, allowing Mitri to walk to the front smoothly. However, as soon as he arrived at the front, he was shocked because a whole row of undead troops appeared in front of him. Unlike what he had imagined, this undead troop didn't seem flustered at all. Instead, they lined up in an unusually orderly manner, and the most exaggerated thing was that they had actually prepared a row of wooden fences in front of them. The undead soldiers behind them were holding their spears and waiting solemnly. It was no wonder that the demon soldiers had stopped. According to this situation, rushing forward would just be sending themselves to death. They wouldn't be able to pass at all.
What made Mitri a little flustered was that not only did the undead troops not seem to be in a panic, but they also seemed to have been waiting for a long time. It felt like they were waiting for them to rush over. This situation didn't look good. Did I fall into a trap?
Dmitri shook his head vigorously, trying to shake this thought out of his head. This was impossible. The Undead definitely wouldn't have thought that they would take the initiative to leave the city and attack them. It must have been Commander Sudaisi's response that led to this situation.
"General, what should we do?" The adjutant next to him was sweating. Obviously, he also thought of something bad, so he immediately asked Mitri.
"Attack!" Mitri said in a deep voice. "Since the enemy is treating them like this, the commander must be inside this army. As long as we attack here, the enemy's formation will collapse on its own."
"Attack … this …" The adjutant looked at the enemy's defense. How many troops would they lose to attack such a well-prepared spear phalanx? But after looking at Mitri, the adjutant still didn't say anything. Instead, he ordered the soldiers behind him, "Everyone, prepare to attack!"
"Fire!" Of course, the first thing they did was to shoot the archers. The other side was clearly waiting for them to attack. The Demon Race troops didn't hold back and directly used the archers to shoot. Soon, the first round of volleys shot towards the Undead phalanx.
"Shields!" Soudeis smiled casually. They were already prepared for this, so he wasn't worried at all. With a command, the soldiers in the phalanx immediately took out their shields and put them on top of their heads. They also helped to take care of the soldiers holding spears next to them. Puff! Puff!
Puff! Puff! Puff! The sound of arrows hitting their targets could be heard. Due to the protection of the shields, the power of the arrows was very small, and most of the arrows were blocked. As for the few arrows that weren't blocked, although they hit the undead soldiers in the middle, most of them weren't fatal. After all, the vital parts of the undead soldiers were protected, and non-fatal attacks were completely useless against the undead. Of course, this was because Li Huailin was standing in the middle of the army. The 240-yard halo completely covered the undead soldiers on this side. This was all calculated by Soudeis. Even the position where Li Huailin stood was arranged for Li Huailin. This defense was simply perfect.
The undead soldiers weren't worried about their bodies at all. They were all thrown across the river by a catapult. Even that situation wasn't a problem, so how could they be hurt by arrows? Sure enough, things were just as they thought. After being hit by the arrows, the soldiers on this side only felt a little pain, and after a few seconds, they felt like they were fine.
"Fire! Fire! " The Nephilim army refused to give up. They fired three or four more rounds, but they soon discovered that the Undead on this side weren't afraid of the other side's shots at all. At least, they didn't see the Undead fall after several rounds of shooting. This was simply useless, they were just sending arrows to the other side.
"General!" the aide-de-camp shouted anxiously.
"We can only attack by force," Dimitri said. Dimitri said. Now that the attack had been launched, they could only fight to the end. Moreover, Dimitri believed that this large undead army was the final barrier of the Undead army. As long as they broke through it, the Undead army would be completely routed.
"Go!" The order to attack was issued. The Demons raised their spears and rushed towards the undead army's spear formation. Both sides had spear formations, and the attack range was the same. Generally speaking, this kind of battle was a war of attrition. In other words, you stab me to death, I stab you to death, and see who can last longer.
However, when the two sides started fighting, the situation was completely different. The undead army on this side had an aura of unlimited recovery. As long as the poked soldiers stood back for a while, they would be able to recover their HP and attack again. The undead had practiced this tactic once before, and it was very successful. However, at that time, they were fighting against the human army, so the Demons on this side didn't quite know about the bug in this tactic.
Therefore, how could they possibly win against a group of people who had an aura of healing activated? Because of the wooden fence, the undead army was able to maintain their formation perfectly, ensuring that they wouldn't be overwhelmed by the enemy. Under the cover of this almost impenetrable formation, the undead army became more and more courageous as they fought. The soldiers on the other side couldn't stand up after a single poke, while the undead army was completely fine. They knew how to fight this battle.
At first, Dimitri didn't notice this situation because the two sides were fighting very chaotically. However, he soon discovered that something was wrong. The corpses of the Demons in front of the wooden fence were piling up higher and higher, while the undead army didn't have any casualties at all. The gap was too big.
"What … what's going on?" Dimitri was stunned for a while. He was a veteran, but he had never seen a battle like this before.
"It's not working. We can't break through at all." The heaven-defying performance of the undead army on this side finally shook the morale of the demon army on this side. As soon as they rushed into the main camp, the demon army's exhaustion from rushing through the night also surged up. The soldiers suddenly felt that the spears in their hands seemed to have become a lot heavier, and their movements also became inflexible.
"No, this won't work," the adjutant shouted. "General!"
"Then what do you think we should do? Retreat now?" Dimitri roared. Of course, he was more anxious than anyone else. "There are only a little more than 10,000 people on the other side, and we can't even break through with 50,000 people on our side. How are we going to face others in the future?"
"Huh?" As soon as Dimitri finished speaking, Gu Guan, who was next to him, suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked at the undead army on this side. Indeed, there weren't many people on the other side, only about 10,000. This was a little strange.
"General, didn't I hear that there are about 30,000 undead troops who have successfully crossed the river?" the adjutant asked immediately.
"Huh?" Dimitri was slightly stunned by this reminder. After thinking about it, he also felt that something was wrong. There were indeed only about 10,000 troops in front of them, and including the troops that had been scattered in the main camp, there were definitely no more than 20,000. However, there were clearly more than 30,000 undead troops who had crossed the river. Where were the rest of them?
Just as he was thinking about this, something suddenly happened in the rear of his army. After a burst of chaotic sounds, an official rushed up from the rear, pulled Dimitri's armor, and shouted, "This is bad, General! Our rear has been outflanked! An undead army is attacking from behind!"
"What?!" Dimitri was shocked. The other side's troops had actually circled around their rear. This was definitely not a response that an army that had been ambushed could make. In other words, this situation should have been arranged beforehand. Thinking of this, Dimitri was sweating profusely.
"It's a plan! This is a plan!" Dimitri shouted. "The other side already knew that we were going to attack the camp. All the previous work was done for us to see. It was to lure us in, and then outflank us from the front and both sides!"
Of course, by now, the Demons on this side already knew what was going on. But the problem was that although they already knew, they still had no idea what to do now. Looking at the situation now, they were now in the main camp of the undead. The spear phalanx in front blocked the way, and the army flanked them from the back. There was no place to run.
At the same time, Soudeis also noticed the movement in the rear of the Demons' army. He nodded slightly and said to Li Huailin next to him, "Your Highness, it seems that Fiona's people have also arrived. It's about time, we should be able to wrap things up."
The person leading the rear was, of course, another lord of the undead, Fiona. Although she was temporarily dismissed, this was also part of the plan. In fact, Fiona had also received the order two days ago to sneak out with her troops. When the Demons' army was attacked, they would attack from the rear and completely surround the troops.
Because Fiona was still a sinner, this opportunity to redeem herself was also very precious. She listened very carefully to the plan this time, and just happened to attack at this time. Their cooperation was also very perfect.
"Hmm." Li Huailin nodded slightly, then said, "You can surround them now."
"Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness," said Soudeis.
"Don't loosen the encirclement. Don't let anyone go," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Soudeis nodded.
Li Huailin also nodded, then stood on a high place, randomly chose a soldier in the Demons' army, and then marked him. Then, he teleported to the middle of the Demons' army.
"Roar!" With a roar, a giant black beast appeared in the middle of the Demons' army. In an instant, the Demons were all stunned.
