Three-eye Association clans in the area occupied by demons had already abandoned the cities in their rear. Those powerhouses and knights of Three-eye Association clans mixed with the demon corps and surged towards Zhang Tie along with over 200 million demonized puppets.
Nobody could stop such a terrifying torrent of demon corps, not even knights.
In terms of basic forces, the population of the demon corps was over 20 times greater than that of the human troops in the south of Kalay Mountain Range on both quantity and quality.
Due to their dauntless ability and craziness, common demonized puppets' battle strength was greater than that of common human fighters. Additionally, the number of LV 9 demon fighters in the south of Kalay Mountain Range was greater than that of all the LV 9 human fighters in the south of Kalay Mountain Range.
In terms of battle strength, the only advantage of humans was that they had a bit more knights than demons and Three-eye Association.
According to the intelligence of Hurricane Corps, there were 17 knights of demons and Three-eye Association in total, among which the demon general had mastered the great aiding strength. There were 21 human knights in the south of Kalay Mountain Range.
However, the advantage of the number of knights was basically meaningless.
Because the 17 knights of demons and Three-eye Association could unite with each other and completely accept the command of the demon general; however, the human knights in the south of Kalay Mountain Range could barely unite with each other. Many human knights, especially those who were the overlords of a country, had their own plans. Those knights would resist demons within their ability; however, they would never fight demons and knights of Three-eye Association at the risk of their lives.
Over the past two years... Many human knights in Waii Sub-continent had left.
For many knights, this Sub-continent was just a station, a scenery or a nostalgic place in their lives; however, it was definitely not a place where they would shed their blood.
Many knights and powerhouses who had seen the bright future of this Sub-continent had already left here one after another. As the holy war had just started, it was very difficult for them to fight demons at the risk of their lives in a Sub-continent where humans were not dominant. It was very difficult for many knights to make such a choice. Not only those knights, even major Hua clans like Huaiyuan Palace would not make such a choice; instead, they chose to return to Taixia Country. Nobody would bet all their assets in a dark place soon after the holy war broke out. Knights and major clans would not do that. Even an experienced gambler would not bet all his chips on the table when his luck was bad at the beginning.
Here, even if you bet everything and won for the time being, you could only slow down the momentum of demons' attack for the time being and consume a part of demons' strength. However, it didn't mean that you could laugh in the end. Because there would be another demon general after this one. Thirdly, even more demon knights and demon corps constantly came to Waii Sub-continent from the underground world. What you did was brave. At the same time, it was also admirable. However, this bravery and admiration could not guarantee your survival and the prosperity of your family.
The holy war was a war between demons and humans. In such a war, there would be a game between demons and humans. Everyone was in a game, especially high-end knights. Nobody would like to be cannon fodder and sacrifice themselves before the start of the holy war.
Huaiyuan Palace and those knights who left this Sub-continent made a very realistic choice. At this moment, they didn't have any tender feelings or slogans. All the major clans and knights were struggling to survive themselves and seek for their future in this holy war.
Over the past two and a half years, even Norman Empire which was once regarded as the most powerful force in the north of Blackson Humans Corridor to resist demons had also given up Blackson Humans Corridor after evacuating from the north of Blackson Humans Corridor. The greater part of the imperial households and elites under their control had been transferred to the Western Continent to establish a new foundation. A small part of them had been transferred to the Eastern Continent. Currently, the forces of Norman Empire in Blackson Humans Corridor were concentrated in the three cities of Benolisburg.
Compared to 3 years ago, Norman Empire paid more attention to Benolis Castle. At this moment, Benolis Castle had become the place for Norman Empire to earn gold coins in Blackson Humans Corridor like the other three cities of Huaiyuan Palace.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was thinking about something while listening to the report and analysis of the situation of the chief of staff of Hurricane Corps. By then, Zhang Tie knew that the entire south of Blackson Humans Corridor was going to be routed and escaped. This time, nobody would be lucky anymore.
"According to the military deduction made by the General Staff based on all the intelligence, we've got the following key time points. 10 days later, namely at the beginning of July, the vanguard of about 200 million demonized puppets would arrive at Kalay Mountain Range. It would take the vanguard of demonized puppets about 2 months to penetrate through the human defense line in Kalay Mountain Range. Before October, the vanguard of demonized puppets would officially enter the south of Waii Sub-continent. After that, they would move all the way to the south bank of Yuanjiang River. In the next January, the vanguard of the entire demonized puppets corps would reach the north bank of Yuanjiang River. As part of the river surface of Yuanjiang River in the northwest of Qilan Country would freeze in winter, the demonized puppets corps would choose to break through the natural moat of Yuanjiang River in the northwest of Qilan Country and arrive at Huaiyuan Prefecture!"
"You mean, we only have half a year before the demonized puppets corps arrive at Huaiyuan Prefecture?" Zhang Tie asked calmly. Zhang Tie asked calmly. He didn't even ask why the demonized puppets could pass through the natural chasm of Kalay Mountain Range which was highly expected by southern countries in the military chess deduction of the General Staff.
No matter how many expectations the countries in the south of Kalay Mountain Range, including Zhang Tie, the reality was that if anyone had 200 million demonized puppets corps, the so-called human defense line in Kalay Mountain Range would be nothing but a piece of paper. Those demonized puppets didn't need to do anything. They only needed to move forward, forward, forward all the time. They didn't even need to stop to tear apart the human defense line in Kalay Mountain Range which was used to deal with millions of demonized puppets. Two months was the time for most of the commoners to pass through Kalay Mountain Range by foot.
The demonized puppets corps didn't even need to worry about logistics and supplies. They would eat up everything on the way, including corpses. If there was nothing to eat, they would eat those wounded or weak demonized puppets. Each demonized puppet was a fighter who was not afraid of death and a humanoid moving dry food. This was the terror of demonized puppets corps.
"I'm afraid … yes!" The chief of staff of Hurricane Corps replied with a bit difficulty, "I'm afraid that demons have also considered the seasonal and climatic factors of Kalay Mountain Range and the natural chasm of Yuanjiang River. July to September is the easiest period to pass through Kalay Mountain Range. And in the coldest time of winter every year … The frozen part of the upper reaches of Yuanjiang River also facilitated the rapid passage of the devil corps. Now, the situation on the continent is critical. That's why we've asked you to come out of seclusion and decide the countermeasures for the Hurricane Corps! "
The moment the chief of staff finished his words, the conference room fell into a dead silence. Everybody fixed their eyes on Zhang Tie's face.
To put it bluntly, the fate of Hurricane Corps depended on what they did in the next half a year. Time passed in the blink of an eye.
"From now on, all the elite special forces of Hurricane Corps will head to the Kalay Mountain Range. Cancel the rotational battle plan of the elite special forces. Their evacuation time will be determined by the elite special forces themselves! "
It would take demons less than 3 months to pass through Kalay Mountain Range. If the elite special forces of Hurricane Corps started the rotational battle plan, it would be meaningless. Hurricane Corps had already prepared for a few years in Kalay Mountain Range. At this moment, they had to try their best no matter what. If they retreated at this moment, the entire Hurricane Corps was not qualified to wear the human military uniform anymore.
Zhang Tie's first order made all the commissioned officers in the conference room spirited.
However, Zhang Tie had not finished his order yet.
"After the meeting, we could immediately arrange the family members of Hurricane Corps to leave Waii Sub-continent for Taixia Country!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's second order, many commissioned officers became reassured as they watched Zhang Tie with appreciative looks. Because Hurricane Corps was still in Huaiyuan Prefecture, the family members of Hurricane Corps didn't leave either. At this moment, Zhang Tie issued an order to let the family members of Hurricane Corps leave Waii Sub-continent. It was equal to relieving many people's worries. At this moment, as long as their family members could survive, they would have no regrets even if they fought to the death.
"The General Staff of Hurricane Corps should work out the evacuation plan of Hurricane Corps from Waii Sub-continent as soon as possible. I have three principles for this evacuation plan, first, orderly; second, in batches; third, be prepared for emergencies. If nothing changes, we have to ensure that Hurricane Corps completely evacuates from Waii Sub-continent before December 1 this year..."
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem If Zhang Tie threw over 400,000 soldiers into the hands of over 200 million demonized puppets, they would definitely be devoured immediately. Zhang Tie could be hot-blooded and fight demons at the risk of his life; however, his responsibility didn't allow him to fulfill his hot-blooded impulsiveness and the reputation of a so-called hero at the cost of the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Huaiyuan Palace. Given the current battle strength of Huaiyuan Palace, it was not his turn to be a hero in the holy war. Zhang Tie was clear about this point. In order to ensure the evacuation of Hurricane Corps safely, he could even give up the last bit of bloody flesh in the three cities of Huaiyuan Prefecture.
After hearing Zhang Tie's three orders, all the senior commissioned officers of Hurricane Corps exchanged a glance with each other as they became reassured.
"Well, if there's nothing else, let's adjourn. Oh, report the result of this conference to Long Wind Business Group!" Zhang Tie waved his hand and declared the adjourn of the conference. Long Wind Business Group was the tool of Huaiyuan Palace to make money in Waii Sub-continent. All the business affairs of Huaiyuan Palace here were managed by Long Wind Business Group.
All the commissioned officers stood up one after another. When they were going to walk towards the conference room, Zhang Tie opened his mouth.
"The chief officer of the corps' engineering troop, stay here..."
The moment a colonel strode out of the conference room, he stopped after hearing Zhang Tie's words.
...
Two minutes later, all the people in the conference room had left. The colonel of the engineering troop stood in front of Zhang Tie with a solemn look.
"I'm giving you a top secret task. You're only responsible for this task. All the materials and personnel across Huaiyuan Prefecture are at your disposal. After accomplishing this task, all the personnel participating in this task should leave Waii Sub-continent by boat at once!" Zhang Tie told the colonel.
The colonel became tense all over at once, "Corps leader, please give your order!"
"Do you know the environment in which the alchemist's bomb could cause the greatest damage to knights?"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, the colonel's eyes gleamed with shrewd light … (To be continued, please search for me?) Astronomy? Novels are better and updated faster!
