[The third update has arrived]
Although necromancers sometimes create corpse soldiers, there are not too many people who are disgusted. But eating the enemy is a completely different matter.
Neris snorted coldly when she saw Marquis Ferdinand's troubled expression.
This cold snort caused the Devil Legion to react. The devils roared at the same time with Neris and hit the ground with the weapons in their hands.
"Marquis, the enemy is food, this is the rule of the Demonic Plane. His Highness allowed me to lead the army to fight for His Highness. Look at their badges! " Neris pointed at the devils behind her with her huge finger and said, "What does this badge represent?"
"Loyalty, unity, honor, faith!" Marquis Ferdinand replied bitterly. Letting the devils eat people doesn't seem to have anything to do with these four, right?
"We will die for Your Highness. This is loyalty. We will not attack our allies. This is unity. We will not lower our heads in the face of God. This is honor. We will fight until the end of the world. This is faith! Marquis, what do you think? "
"You are right …"
Marquis Ferdinand comforted himself. Anyway, the task of the devils is to fight with the enemy. On the battlefield, it is difficult for my people to cooperate with this legion. Let them eat. Eating more enemies will also reduce my logistical pressure.
"Marquis, if you feel dissatisfied, tell me. I will give you a list of food. You will regret it when you see it." Neris didn't give the marquis a good look.
"As you wish, I will persuade my men." When Marquis heard Neris's words, he suddenly understood that the consumption of these 10,000 devils is probably not small. A human soldier's food intake in war will increase several times, and the same is probably true for the devils. The amount of meat consumed by these four to five meter tall fellows was a terrifying figure.
Marquis gave in, and Neris took the Devil Legion to the square in the center of the city. She demolished some of the low buildings in the square for the devils to station.
The Myers Continent plane is rich, and the Jialoulan area has the best climate. Compared with the Demonic Plane, this place is the heaven mentioned by the gods. The devils don't need houses at all. They sleep on the ground and don't even take off their armor.
After settling the Demons down and letting the slightly smarter Qi Zheng and Battalion Generals manage them, Nelis left the square and went to the Marquis' Mansion. She did not return to her human form and deliberately maintained the appearance of the demon god incarnation. In the garden of the Count's mansion, she discussed the battle with the Count.
Facing the gigantic Demon God, Ferdinand felt very helpless. Fortunately, Nelis didn't deliberately threaten him. She just maintained her arrogant posture and looked down at the marquis.
Nelis sat on the ground, while the Marquis was on the top floor of a tall building, discussing the next battle with Nelis.
Opening the map, the Marquis patiently explained the current situation.
Originally, San Lian City had nearly four hundred thousand soldiers. Great Liang City had replenished them with a hundred thousand soldiers. After deducting the losses, they still had about four hundred thousand soldiers. There were tens of thousands of wounded soldiers in each city. Although they had been treated, they could only do some ordinary work. They could no longer raise their weapons to fight.
Three Links City was stuck on a flat piece of land about sixty miles wide. To the west was a narrow plain, and fifty miles away was a river that ran from north to south. It was not wide, and the army of the Church had already built a sturdy bridge, allowing the army behind to quickly pass through.
Recently, the Church had mainly attacked the cities to the south of San Lian City, harassed the north, and sent troops to besiege the main city in the middle. The cities in the south were in a state of emergency, and the main city dispatched cavalry to attack the attacking army. But the number of troops of the Church was only about five hundred thousand, and that did not include the army west of the river.
"In that case, the army of the Tanggulas people is more concentrated!"
"Indeed, at least on the east side of the river. In terms of military strength, we don't have the advantage."
Nelis had experienced the battle with the expeditionary army. The hundred thousand expeditionary army had left a deep impression on Nelis. The soldiers of the Church's army were valiant and unafraid of death. They were truly unafraid. It was as if to them, death was the most blissful thing.
"The main city has two hundred thousand soldiers, and the north and south cities have one hundred thousand soldiers each. The enemy is attacking the south city, and here, blocking the route of reinforcement from the main city. What is the combat power of the army here? Describe to me, how many experts are there?"
Ferdinand was proficient in military affairs, and Nelis's question made him a little worried.
"Sir … there are two main armies of the enemy here, as well as about twenty thousand Blood Knights. There aren't many experts here, but there are two red-robed bishops. They are probably level-eight professionals. They won't attack our army, but if we have a Sword Saint in our army, these two red-robed bishops will appear. "
"Do we have Magic Shooters on hand?"
"Every city has a level-seven Magic Shooter, but they can't attack, and must guard the Magic Tower."
"In that case, the enemy can only use conventional methods of attack, or destroy the Magic Tower by force?"
"It's like this. To destroy a seven-story Magic Tower, at least two level-nine experts are needed. But the Magic Tower of Sanlian City is built inside the city walls, and the level-nine experts have to consider the threat of the arrow towers, so they may not attack by force. "
"In other words, there are seventy to eighty thousand soldiers here, and two red-robed bishops. What about here? "Nelis asked, pointing to the nearest suitable location for the garrison.
"There are about the same number, but there are no Blood Knights, just ordinary troops."
"Hey, I'm lying to you. The ones stationed here are probably the real elites. If the South City is in a state of emergency and the Magic Tower is about to fall, the main city will have to send more reinforcements from the side. When the number of our reinforcements reaches a certain level, the elite soldiers here will be dispatched, and then the army attacking the South City will turn around and attack. We can only send fifty thousand people at most, but the enemy can mobilize more than a hundred and fifty thousand here, plus the two hundred thousand attacking the South City. What do you think of this trap? "
Nelis's words made Ferdinand break out in a cold sweat. He had gone to reinforce the South City several times, but the location Nelis mentioned did not move, which made him think that it was logistics. From the results of the scouts' investigation, it was the same. But if this was the main force of the enemy, then the hundred and fifty thousand soldiers would be enough to trap the fifty thousand elites until the main force arrived, and then surround and annihilate them.
In the past, he had sent too few people, and it was not worth it for the enemy to do so.
Ferdinand was sweating because Nelis was too smart, and saw through the trap at a glance. If all the demons were like this, it would be too terrifying!
"The terrain here is narrow, and can't accommodate too many troops. Otherwise, the Vatican would have taken down Sanlian City long ago. Marquis, but don't be nervous, I will attack on the ninth of April and eat up this army. "Nelis used her sharp arrow-like nails to point at the camp where the seventy thousand people were stationed. She used the word "eat", which made Ferdinand shudder.
"Sir, why don't you attack on the eighth?" Ferdinand was a little puzzled. Attacking the South City would take at least a full day to make the South City in a state of emergency. One day was nine days, and at that time, the main city would fall into the enemy's trap if they went to help. On the tenth day, the defense line of Sanlian City would almost completely collapse.
"Attack in advance? The Tanggulas people in West River will increase their troops by a million in a day. If the enemy goes all out, the tenth day will be the most dangerous day for us. If we delay for a day, this place will not be able to accommodate a million troops, and the main force of the enemy can only stay in West River. After the eleventh day, the princess's wedding will be over, and an attack that disregards casualties will lose its meaning. "
Ferdinand broke out in cold sweat even more. This demon was not only skilled in tactics, but also very proficient in strategy.
Even if the demon's plan failed in the end, it would still disrupt the enemy's plan, and cause the enemy's plan to break the city on the tenth day to fail.
It was extremely important for Kushui Prefecture to survive the ten days. If the border was lost on the day of the prince's wedding, it would be a huge blow to the Kushui prefecture.
Nelis's purple eyes revealed a cruel smile. She said fiercely, "Sooner or later, Yun Liuren will regret colluding with the Vatican!"
Nelis knew that in the eyes of Qin Yin, the Vatican was the real demon. If her demon army wanted to go to the Cloud Flow Empire to kill, they would need a good excuse. Since Yun Liuren and the Vatican were colluding so thoroughly, then there would be another feast on the menu of his Evil Demon Army.
Yun Liuren had already made the wrong decision without her slander. Nelis had even thought of the demon army's slogan in the future, which was to eat the followers of the evil god!
The Qin Yin people would accept this slogan. After all, there had never been any churches in this country. The people there believed in magic, and earlier, they also believed in astrologers. The Grand Duke of Jialou Lan failed, and his family did not survive, nor did he have much support from the Qin Yin nobles. This was because the Grand Duke of Jialou Lan had tacitly allowed the Vatican to appear in his land.
"Duke, I still need some personal sponsorship. Help me think of something." Nelis asked for resources, and Marquis Ferdinand agreed readily.
Nelis wanted magic cores, and high-level magic cores at that. There were dozens of high-level magic cores in her bracelet, but she was reluctant to embed them on the magic stone cannon because they were all level-nine magic cores. The magic stone cannon could attack with level-seven magic cores.
She could have used level-four magic cores, but Nelis did not want to change the magic core for the magic stone cannon on the battlefield, so she made this request.
After asking for six level-seven magic cores, Nelis took out her magic stone cannon, replaced the magic core for the magic stone cannon, and filled it with magic stone bullets. She smiled with satisfaction.
"Marquis, I will remember your generosity."
Nelis's guess was right. On the 8th of April, the Vatican had gathered an army of 300,000 and began a fierce attack on the south of San Lian City. Immediately, the guards in the south of the city sounded the alarm. Under Nelis's reminder, Marquis Ferdinand did not immediately send reinforcements, but began to prepare for the next day's battle.
Nelis was very excited. The terrain of San Lian City was too suitable for the demon army to fight. If she had 100,000 demons, she was even confident that she could defeat the army of the Vatican in one fell swoop. The plains here were narrow, and the Vatican could only gather 500,000 troops. 500,000 troops would not be a match for 100,000 demons. Unless, the humans were still the humans of the past!
