The second update.
On the sixth day, when Salin had even forged a set of Qin Yin's equipment, the Demons finally sent back a definite message. Pang Peicheng had mobilized fifty thousand soldiers and was advancing toward New Demon City from the east.
Fifty thousand soldiers could only be considered a small force on the battlefield between Qin Yin and the Church, but in a narrow battlefield like the southwest, fifty thousand soldiers could be considered a large army.
Salin was too lazy to leave the Elemental Magic Tower after hearing the news. He said to the commander of the allied army, "Have Nelis provide the support you need. This is a probing attack. At most, two thousand people will come."
The officers of the allied army were not in a hurry. New Demon City was too sturdy.
Fifty thousand soldiers attacking such a city would have to pay a heavy price unless there were only two thousand people in the city. The allied army had about twenty-four thousand people, and there were also many Demon troops. About ten thousand people came and went in the city every day.
With the army's morale stabilized, Salin's orders were quickly passed down. Nelis became the temporary commander of the Metatlin Kingdom and mobilized the Demons to organize the battle.
Nelis had originally been a little Demon who was good at sneak attacks and escaping. In the battle of Tilan City, she had gained a deep understanding and experience of large-scale battles. At that time, Nelis had no lack of generals who were used to fighting. She didn't even kill the enemy's generals. Instead, she kept them by her side and asked them about war knowledge.
After a few months of training, a demon like Nelis would be able to handle most of the battles fairly well.
Moreover, the commanders of the Southwest Allied Army were no idiots. Although there had been no war in the southwest for many years, most of these commanders had left the southwest and participated in all kinds of battles. Most of the mercenaries outside of Scotia were from the regular army. Qin Yin did not dare to forget about battle. Sometimes, conflicts on the border were caused by these commanders who longed for practical experience.
Fifty thousand people advanced southwest. Because they were advancing from the plains to the complicated terrain, Pang Peicheng's convoy had to stop about two hundred li from New Demon City. All the troops had to change to horses or walk.
The Demons in the sky had already grasped the intelligence of this army and reported it to Nelis. The ratio of Mages in this army was rather high. There were about five hundred Mages in total.
However, in Nelis's eyes, these Mages were useless. There was only one 9th rank Mage, and most of the Mages were below the 6th rank.
In the current war, it was simply a joke that there were no powerhouses in the army. In the vicinity of Great Liang City, the number of Level Ten experts had reached eight, with each side having four.
If either the Vatican or Daliang City did not have a Level Ten expert, the battle would have ended long ago.
Salin continued to strengthen and stabilize the power of the domain in the magic tower. Shika accompanied him, and Nelis, who was in charge of the overall situation, looked a little complacent. It was useless for Sicca to beat her up. Neris's temper was just like that.
She was chatting and laughing with the generals of the Southwest Alliance Army in the war command hall. After the demon reported the military situation, Nelis pointed at the magic map and said, "Everyone, the army of Pompeii City will arrive here tomorrow. Who is willing to fight me outside the city?"
The generals looked at each other. One of them said, "Sir, we have the city to rely on. Even if the enemy is twice as strong, we won't have to pay too many losses to defend the city."
What he meant was that it was too stupid to leave the city to fight.
Nelis sneered and said, "Are you afraid of fifty thousand enemies? Outside Ceylon City, I held off an army of a million. "
"Sir, if you want to give the enemy a heavy blow, you don't have to fight them head-on. We know this piece of land, and the enemy's march is not fast. We have enough time to set up traps behind this river. The enemy only has a Level Nine Magic Shooter, he can't destroy all the high-level traps …"
Nelis interrupted him and said, "Qin Yinren, are you afraid? I will personally lead the demons to charge at the front. You guys can stay behind. If there are any remaining soldiers, I don't mind you guys taking advantage of them. "
The generals were angry, but Nelis was a collaborator, and she had taken the initiative to charge at the front and take on the most dangerous tasks. There was not much meaning in being angry.
"Then we will follow your orders, Sir."
"Hmph, I am reminding you that there will be more and more powerhouses participating in the battle in the future. I am just giving you a demonstration to show you what a real war is like. Leave five thousand people in the city to defend. The rest, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy! "
The generals agreed and went to gather the troops according to Nelis's orders. Some of them secretly went to the Elemental Magic Tower to ask to see Sarlin, but Sarlin refused and told them to listen to Nelis for once.
Sarlin knew that Qin Yinren's soldiers were all elites. They would not lose in a head-on battle. And Nelis suggested charging at the front. Unless the enemy was a Level Eleven powerhouse, there would be no mishaps.
These generals were also smart. Seeing that Sarlin did not object to the arrogant Nelis, they knew that there would not be a problem.
But the generals still had some calculations. Nelis ordered them to bring no less than nineteen thousand soldiers and leave five thousand in the city. Five thousand was too few, so the generals arranged three thousand peasant soldiers in the back, making the number of defending troops in the city reach eight thousand.
This way, they would be safe. Nelis only sneered when she saw this.
It usually took two to three days to gather an army, but the elite troops could set off in a day at the command. The logistics troops could also be prepared at the same time.
The battlefield was set to be about a hundred miles away from the city, so there was no need for any logistics. Before Nelis set off, she began to distribute her equipment, but it was the Demon God Flying Armor for the generals of the Southwest Coalition Army.
The defense of these Demon God Flying Armors was definitely inferior to the ones worn by the Demons, and they were several times thicker. But the voice transmission magic array in the helmets was preserved, so the generals could hear Nelis's voice at any time.
Nelis led her Demon army out of the city and arranged themselves in formation on the plains. She turned back to look at the Southwest Coalition Army, who were doing the same thing outside the city. She transformed into a Demon God, raised the four weapons in her hands, and waved them at the sky as she roared.
Ten thousand Demons followed Nelis and roared at the sky, as if to vent their inexhaustible energy.
The Southwest Coalition Army in the rear watched with envy. The soldiers looked at the five-meter-tall Demons from afar and calculated. If such a Demon was an enemy, it would take at least two or three soldiers to deal with one. If it weren't for soldiers like them, an ordinary army would need thirty to fifty soldiers to deal with one Demon.
It was said that in the future, the Southwest would have a Demon Mercenary Army. How lucky. From now on, these Demons would be Qin Yin's comrades in the Southwest.
Nelis transformed into a Demon God, her four arms holding a gray memory, a demigod square shield, a sword of law, and a Demon Meteor Hammer.
The ten-meter-tall Demon God led tens of thousands of Demons into the wilderness. The earth trembled as Nelis used the Demon God's skill, Demon Trample. All the Demons' morale was immediately raised to the extreme.
In the past, Nelis had to use this skill on the battlefield and could not maintain it for a long time. Now, Nelis was using the Demon Trample from a hundred miles away, raising the Demons' morale to the peak, and their strength was slowly stacking.
The Southwest Coalition Army behind her were all riding horses. When these Qin Yin soldiers followed behind the Demon army, they realized that the rumors were true. When these Demons ran, they were like humans riding on warhorses.
The swordsmen among the soldiers believed that if they ran at full speed, they could even surpass the Demons' speed. However, it was impossible to last a hundred miles and still have to fight when they reached the battlefield. Ordinary cavalry could not keep up with these Demons. Only the elite troops riding rank one warhorses could run like this.
Nelis did not just blindly charge. The Demon Scouts in the sky had not stopped providing Nelis with information. When they were thirty miles away from the enemy, Nelis had the army stop and rest.
The Demons untied the blood bags beside them and drank the fresh blood. As they rested, their desire for battle was stimulated to a higher level. Pang Peicheng's scouts had all been killed, and many of the Demon Scouts had also been killed. Nelis did not care. In this battle, she only had Isabella by her side.
There was no normal state on the battlefield. When fighting against the Vatican, the Demons would directly eat people. However, when fighting against the Qin Yin people, the Demons would drink the blood of animals before the battle to stimulate their ferocious nature.
Pang Peicheng's army got closer and closer. When they were about three miles away, Nelis had the Demons tidy up, pick up their weapons, and walk to the high ground in front of them. After crossing this high ground, there was a downward slope. The angle was gentle, but it was suitable for charging.
Although Nelis spoke arrogantly to the generals, she had already asked the Demon Scouts to draw a topographic map and choose this place as the battlefield.
"Everyone, watch how I break the formation." Nelis turned on the Demon God Flying Sky Armor's sound magic array and transmitted her words to all the generals. After saying this, Nelis happened to arrive at the top of the high ground. Then, she rushed down with the Demons.
The Southwestern Allied Army was two miles behind the Demon Army. This distance would slow down the Demon Army's charge and give them the help of the cavalry. The infantry behind the cavalry would have time to dismount their warhorses and form a formation. The professional army of the Qin Yin people cooperated very smoothly. However, when the Southwestern Allied Army's cavalry reached the high ground, they saw an unbelievable scene.
Nelis's Demon Army had already divided the enemy army into more than ten parts and was charging to the left and right.
The enemy's two vanguard flag regiments had been completely wiped out. The Demon Army was now dealing with Pang Peicheng's main force, a total of three battalions. Behind the three battalions, there was another battalion of heavy troops, followed by 8,000 reserves.
