Of course, it was impossible for Roy to personally deliver the letter. Not to mention that he did not know where the elven city was, even if he knew, if a demon like him dared to appear near the city, he would probably be greeted by countless arrows.
Roy did not intend to put his life on the line …
Therefore, the task of delivering the letter finally fell on the foreman. When Roy asked him to deliver the letter of challenge, the foreman hesitated and was unwilling at first. He was worried that this was a trick of the demon and wanted to rely on him to find the location of the city. However, Roy casually said, "If you don't deliver the letter, you'll be the culprit when we demons kill the gold dragon queen!"
With that, the foreman had no choice but to go.
With the letter of challenge in his arms, the foreman went on his way. He was worried that Roy would follow him, so he looked back from time to time along the way, but he did not see anything and was puzzled.
But no matter what, the letter of challenge was finally delivered to the elves. Just as Roy had guessed, there was indeed an elven stronghold near this area. When the foreman delivered the letter of challenge, an elven druid stationed in the city attached great importance to it. Not long ago, he had received a messenger pigeon from the annihilated pegasus knights and knew that the demon army had arrived.
He originally wanted to step up the training of the troops and prepare to resist the demon invasion, but after seeing the letter of challenge, he was shocked. After asking the foreman in detail how he obtained the letter of challenge, he fell into deep thought.
After a while, the druid hero asked the foreman, "Are you saying that the one who dictated to you to write this letter of challenge is not Xeron himself but a strange demon under him?"
"Yes, yes!" The foreman nodded. "Although I've never seen Demon Xeron, I think it's impossible for a great demon like Xeron to bring twenty to thirty demons to occupy a lumberyard, right?"
The druid nodded and asked, "According to your observation, do you think that the demon who asked you to deliver the letter was inspired by Xeron?"
"Of course!" The foreman immediately said excitedly. "Listen to the tone of the letter. It's simply the declaration of a great demon king! If it wasn't Xeron's idea, how could that demon think of it? "
The Druid hero also agreed with this sentence. The domineering aura revealed in this challenge was simply overwhelming. It was arrogant, arrogant, and did not shy away from talking about destruction and war. It was obvious that only a powerful demon would say these words. This elven Druid hero was already seventy to eighty percent convinced.
The demons' target was actually the Gold Dragon Queen? This was big trouble. He had to warn his clansmen.
As an ally of the kingdom of Erathia, the AvLee elves could have asked for reinforcements from Erathia. But there was news from the frontlines recently that the Dungeon Lords and necromancers were besieging the kingdom of Erathia. The humans could not spare any troops to support the elves, so they could only rely on themselves to resist the demons' attack.
Their original plan was to guard the various cities and rely on the defense of the city walls to block and consume the demon army. Therefore, the existing troops were almost evenly distributed to the various cities. Under these circumstances, the other important ally of the elves, the Gold Dragon Queen, and her nest, did not have much defense now. If the demons really succeeded in their sneak attack and killed the Gold Dragon Queen, the elves would be finished!
Dragons were hot-tempered, and so were the gold dragons. Once they learned of the death of their queen, they would probably retreat immediately and even vent their anger on the elves. At that time, without the dragons, how could the elves deal with the attacks of those high-level demons?
After considering the severity of the consequences, the Druid hero made a decision. He brought most of the main forces stationed in the city with him, leaving only a few of them in the stronghold. He then led his troops back to the main city of the elves. At the same time, he informed the other Druid heroes stationed in the other cities to withdraw their defensive line and prepare to support the Gold Dragon Queen.
Although he was worried that this might be another trick of the demons, it was better to believe it than not. The Gold Dragon Queen was an incomparably noble figure. Compared to the gains and losses of a few cities, the Gold Dragon Queen was clearly more important …
… …
Roy stayed at the lumberyard and waited until the hellhounds and little demons delivered enough wood before leaving and returning to Xeron's army.
It took an entire day to repair the siege equipment. During this time, Xeron's troops were also replenished. They were troops that had rushed over from the demon castles in the rear. Rashka and Xeron were fighting on the frontlines, while Ignatius, who stayed behind, kept summoning troops in the city. Once the summoned troops accumulated to a certain number, they would catch up with Rashka and Xeron's advance route to achieve the intention of replenishing the two's troops.
This batch of troops that had just arrived had about two hundred little demons, and the number of gogs and hellhounds was about a hundred each. In addition, there were dozens of long-horned demons and evil gods. Evil gods were middle-rank demons that Ignatius had summoned in the past few days. The appearance of these middle-rank demons meant that higher-rank demons would soon appear.
Middle-rank demons were naturally respectful when facing Xeron, but they were very arrogant when facing low-rank demons. They also ordered low-rank demons around.
Although Roy was Xeron's adjutant, he was also a low-rank demon, so the evil gods with long whips did not take him seriously.
Roy did not care about this. After continuing on the road, he quietly observed these middle-rank demons.
During the rest of the march, the elven scouts did not appear again, but there were many other enemies. Most of them were beasts and monsters living in this land, but there were also bandits and wandering mercenaries. Although these people fled in panic after seeing the demon army, under Xeron's leadership, the bloodthirsty demons would not let go of any living creature that appeared in their eyes!
Wherever the demon army passed, there were corpses everywhere. Even though Roy had stayed in the Abyss for so long and had learned to adapt to this kind of killing, he could not help but frown when he saw this scene.
After going around for another two days, the demon army finally found the city where the elven pegasus knights were. Xeron had been impatient for the past two days. As soon as he saw the city built on the cliff, he could not wait to command the demon army to start the siege …
However, when the battle began, even Xeron himself wondered why the other party's defense was so weak.
In this city, the number of elven troops left behind did not seem like the defensive power that a city should have. There were only a few tall arrow towers with elven archers shooting arrows. On the city wall, there were a dozen slow-moving withered tree guards. Other than that, there were no other troops.
