"Meet the enemy!!!"
Xeron raised his demon scythe and roared. At the same time, he cast Group Stone Skin to increase the defense of the demon army and resist the rain of arrows.
Although Xeron understood that the elves might have seized the opportunity because of his rash advance, he did not panic at all. As a high-rank demon, he had his pride. He had fought many wars for Lucifer Kerrigan in this world, and a simple ambush would not defeat him.
Demons loved to kill, and their instinct for battle was almost engraved in their bones. Under Xeron's orders, the demon army quickly adjusted from the chaos. The gogs also began to fight back against the rain of arrows. They threw a large number of explosive fireballs at the other side of the forest.
The camp of the demon army was originally in the forest, but because Xeron knew that he could not fight the elves in the forest, he had the demon army set fire to the forest, turning a large area around it into scorched land. Now, the first wave of arrows from the elves was almost at the junction between the scorched land and the forest. When a large number of explosive fireballs ignited this place, the elves were forced to show up.
The tall Deadwood Guardians appeared first. These slow-moving treants walked out with heavy footsteps. Some of them were even set on fire and looked a little disheveled. But when they appeared, Xeron felt that something was wrong because there were too many Deadwood Guardians. There were more than two hundred of them, and they formed a thick shield wall on the front line, covering the fragile elven army in the rear tightly.
What appeared next were thousands of wood elf archers. Moreover, among these wood elves, there were also phantom archers that the elves called rangers. These phantom archers were the trump cards with superb archery skills. Every arrow they shot was a huge threat. The little demon that was nailed to the tree in the first wave of attacks was the work of these phantom archers.
Mine dwarves, silver pegasus knights, centaur chiefs, unicorns, and these AvLee elven warriors appeared one after another. Although these troops were not true elves, they also lived in the territory of the elves. It could be said that they were bound together for good or bad, so the elves could often see the figures of these races in foreign wars.
And without exception, these troops were all large in number. When they gathered together, they almost completely surrounded Xeron's demon army.
The three elven heroes also appeared. Two of them were elven druids wearing deer helmets, and the other was a human-like man. Although his face and chest were covered with elven tattoos, he didn't have long pointy ears. He was a typical human.
Xeron recognized at a glance that this humanoid elven hero was Royd! He was a famous ranger in the kingdom of Erathia and the elven kingdom. It was said that he was the first human recognized by the elves, and the tattoos on his body were personally engraved by the elven elders.
There were three heroes and about four thousand troops. When he saw the scale of troops, even Xeron began to mutter. Wasn't the difference too great?!
However, this was not the end. With a high-pitched dragon roar, a huge shadow appeared in the sky, and a group of huge creatures with wings appeared in the sky. The dragons were really here!
There were not many of them, only about a dozen, but there were three kinds of dragons: green dragons, emerald dragons, and gold dragons. Green dragons and emerald dragons liked to live in the forest environment and could be said to be interdependent with the elves. Although gold dragons liked to live on high cliffs, they were also allies with the elves due to the existence of the Gold Dragon Queen.
The bodies of these dragons were too large. There were only a dozen of them, but they created a feeling of covering the sky. They circled above the battlefield, blocking the sun from the sky and leaving shadows on the ground. When they heard the roars of these dragons, the little demons trembled in fear.
As soon as the dragons appeared, Xeron did not feel good. Although he also had high-level demons on his side, he had summoned them temporarily without sparing any magic power, and there were too few of them.
Xeron was not surprised to encounter the dragons. After all, from the beginning, their plan was to deal with the Gold Dragon Queen. However, that was when Xeron, Rashka, and Ignatius met up and replenished a large number of high-level demons. Now that Rashka had gone to eliminate the traitor Zeda, Ignatius was separated from Xeron's troops. This meant that Xeron had to face the attacks of these elven troops and dragons alone. How could he be happy?
He still could not figure it out. It was fine to ambush him, but why would three heroes and so many troops be mobilized at the same time? They were treating him as the main force! Why would the elves make such a big move?
Indeed, without Roy's letter of challenge, the elves might have attacked Xeron, but the intensity of the attack would definitely not have reached such a scale. It had to be known that there were two demon troops constantly attacking the elves — Xeron's and Rashka's. The elves had a small population, and their troops were limited. To defend against the attacks of two troops, they would usually distribute their troops evenly. However, with Roy's letter of challenge, it was different.
It was like encountering two bad guys. One of them was only doing bad things silently, but the other was not only doing bad things but also spouting shit and grumbling. Who would you hate more?
Now, in order to express their determination to resist the invasion and to combat the arrogance of the demons, the elves had mobilized most of their main forces at once, intending to teach this arrogant demon, Xeron!
If the heroes of the elves had stood up and reprimanded Xeron loudly, he might have had a chance to learn about the fabricated letter of challenge from the elves. However, the elves had fought with the demons many times and knew what kind of characters demons had, so they did not even bother to talk. After setting up the formation, they directly attacked the camp.
The Withered Tree Guardians were at the very front, advancing at a slow but steady pace. The Wood Elves tightened their bowstrings and raised the angle of their arrows, preparing to shoot. The Silver Pegasus Knights were already in the air, while the Dragons circled to the perfect position, preparing to dive down!
"Fire! Stop those damn treants! "Xeron roared.
The Gog army once again threw out explosive fireballs. Although the succubi summoned by Xeron were intimidated by the dragons in the sky, they still held their hands in front of their chests, rubbed a huge fireball, and threw it at the Deadwood Guardians that were charging at them!
After the Fireballs hit the Withered Tree Guardians, they immediately ignited on their bodies. However, the Fireballs thrown by the succubi did not disappear. Instead, after hitting the Withered Tree Guardians, they bounced back and hit the other Withered Tree Guardians. After hitting several Withered Tree Guardians, the Fireballs were finally exhausted!
Although these Withered Tree Guardians had thick skin and flesh, they were more afraid of fire. After being attacked by the gogs and succubi, many Withered Tree Guardians were quickly set on fire and fell after being burned.
However, there were too many Withered Tree Guardians. How could they burn them all so quickly? After the remaining Withered Tree Guardians covered the other elven troops, the Dwarves and Centaur Chiefs immediately circled around and rushed into the demon army's front line, beginning to fight the demon army.
In the sky, the dragons swooped down. As the green dragons and emerald dragons swept past, they opened their mouths and spat out thick green poisonous gas and acidic liquid at the demon army below. The range of the breath was so large that seven or eight green dragons and emerald dragons covered almost half of the demon army. The little demons who were sprayed by the poisonous gas immediately screamed. Their skin began to fester, and when they came into contact with the acid of the emerald dragons, their muscles also showed signs of melting, and the slightest movement would cause them to fall in large pieces.
Many little demons did not even have the chance to come into contact with the enemy before they screamed and died. After suffering the pain of corrosion, they turned into ashes and were expelled from this world. The hellhounds and long-horned demons were better off. Their skin was tougher, and although they roared in pain from the corrosion, they barely withstood the first wave of breath. However, when the gold dragons among the dragons swooped down, they were in big trouble!
Although the gold dragons also had acid dragon breath, the strongest aspect of these dragons was still in hand-to-hand combat. They had huge bodies and weights, as well as indestructible golden dragon scales. As soon as these gold dragons landed, they immediately trampled many hellhounds to death. With a wave of their claws, they could sweep away a large number of long-horned demons. Although the hellhounds and long-horned demons tried to fight back, their sharp teeth and long horns could not even leave a scratch on the gold dragons!
The most troublesome thing was that gold dragons were immune to most magic in this world. There were not many ways to kill them other than fighting them in hand-to-hand combat …
As soon as the battle started, Xeron's demon army suffered heavy losses. High-level soldiers crushed low-level demons. Fortunately, Roy was smart and never left Xeron's vicinity from the beginning. If he had stayed in the low-level demon camp, the dragons might have already attacked him.
"You guys attack too!" Seeing that this could not go on, Xeron immediately ordered the high-level demons he summoned. "Buy me some time!"
"You too!" With that, Xeron said to Roy, "Kill as many as you can!"
The abyssal demons with reverse demon wings nodded and rushed out with their Soul-Stealing Blades, slashing at the green dragons. The great demons did the same. They laughed wildly and exploded into flames on the spot before disappearing. When they appeared again, they were already beside the fallen gold dragons. They swung the demon scythes in their hands and slashed at the gold dragons' dragon scales. The hard golden dragon scales were immediately cut, and the pain made the gold dragons immediately turn their weapons and fight the great demons.
These Abyss demons and big demons immediately became the focus of the battlefield. The opponents of high-level demons were naturally high-level creatures, and this was an exchange of forces between the two sides.
Although the number of troops in the wars of this world was relatively small, usually a few thousand, and it was rare to see tens of thousands of people, the problem was that the combat strength of these creatures participating in the war was too powerful …
On the other hand, Roy, as a low-rank demon, was somewhat inconspicuous in this chaotic battle. This was a pleasant surprise. When the enemy's attention was on the high-level demons, Roy successfully reached the edge of the battlefield.
He did not appear on the main battlefield but only guarded the flank of the army here, so he naturally did not encounter many enemies. With his combat strength, he could hold on for a while, and it was convenient for Roy and the others to escape at the edge of the battlefield.
Roy felt that Xeron could not win this battle. The demon army would soon collapse under the attack of the elves, and at that time, he could naturally become a defeated soldier and escape.
