The "door" stood quietly between the 2 territories of the Demon Realm and the human world. It was like the calm before the storm.
Demon Realm, Bloodclaw Estate.
The ground began to tremble slightly, shattering the original tranquility.
The Demon Realm Coalition Command, which had been paying close attention to the movement of the "door", immediately saw this scene on the magic TV screen. At the same time, the scout's report was also sent over immediately.
"Take the initiative to attack?" Gerant, the commander of the Demon Realm Coalition Command, showed a meaningful smile, "The enemy's attitude is more active than we expected. However, this is also expected. Let's see the strength of the human coalition."
The "door" of the Bloodclaw Estate flashed, and a large number of heavily armored soldiers appeared.
In the history of the war between the 2 realms, most of the time, the Demon Realm took the lead to attack humans, but there were also many humans who took the initiative to attack the Demon Realm. Burning the flames of war into the enemy's territory was a tactic and also a strategic need.
This group of heavily armored soldiers was the vanguard of the human coalition. It was the first time for almost all the soldiers to enter the legendary, terrifying Demon Realm. As soon as they entered, they felt a chill. There were actually 2 "suns" in the sky, but they were not very dazzling. Moreover, the temperature they emitted was much lower than the real "sun". The light elements nearby were extremely thin, and the dark elements were very active.
In fact, after the "door" appeared and the 2 realms intersected, the light elements of the human world and the dark elements of the Demon Realm were greatly reduced. Otherwise, just adapting to the environment would make these well-trained soldiers suffer a lot.
The first reaction of the heavily armored soldiers when they came to this "foreign world" was to defend. Under the command of the commander, General Riley, they formed a semicircle formation, erected a large shield, and fully guarded against attacks from all directions.
The main role of this vanguard force was to test the waters. Including General Riley himself, they had the awareness of a suicide squad. However, after defending for a long time, they did not encounter the storm-like attack that they imagined. They did not even see a shadow.
It was like they had danced with all their might on the stage for a long time, only to find that the audience was empty.
This news was quickly sent back to the headquarters of the human coalition. They originally thought there would be a fierce encounter, but they did not expect this situation. For a while, the generals at the headquarters of the human coalition were discussing.
"General Sandro, what do you think?" The supreme commander, Rex The Great, did not come to a conclusion directly. Instead, he asked Sandro, a famous general of the Rayo Empire.
"Probing." Sandro furrowed his brows. "Just like our active attack to probe, this' passive 'is also a probe. It seems that the Devil Race is more cunning and patient than we thought. I believe that it won't be long before there will be a probing battle. "
"What we need to do is to probe further and determine and establish a stronghold for the army to be stationed as soon as possible. That will be the springboard for our official attack on the Devil Realm." Princess Felicia of the Elf Race also spoke. Her Highness wasn't just a pretty face, but a graduate of Starlight Academy's military department. At least in the field of military theory, she had good attainments.
"That's right." Rex The Great nodded. "Pass down my orders. The heavy armor team will advance slowly, step by step. The follow-up troops of the frontline army will enter one after another. At the same time, send out the scout team and the Sorcerer Mapping Team. Quickly figure out our location and terrain, and establish accurate strategic sandbox information."
After receiving the order, the heavy armor infantry maintained a certain speed and advanced carefully. The troops behind them arrived one after another. In addition to the infantry, there was also a small number of Sorcerer Troops. The most elite scout team had already split up.
These Sorcerers weren't good at fighting, but they were good at detection magic. Dozens of detection devices with wings flew out in all directions like birds. The places they passed through were quickly recorded by the Sorcerers with the Eye of Magic and marked on the topographic map. This kind of detection device was called "Robin". It was a product of the Elves of the City of Mages. It was very useful in war.
Very quickly, the surrounding terrain characteristics became complete due to the feedback of various information. The miniaturized version of the strategic sandbox was also expanded and perfected step by step.
Soon, the image of a certain Eye of Magic suddenly shook and dimmed. Obviously, the "Robin" was destroyed by some kind of power. Following that, many Eye of Magic also extinguished, which meant that the Robins were attacked.
"All teams, immediately report the loss of the Robins and the estimated situation." The captain of the Sorcerer Survey Team, Torreya, was a middle-aged man. He didn't panic and continued to give orders.
"Captain, two-thirds of the Robins have been lost. The locations that were attacked are about 10 to 15 kilometers. It should be a long-range attack."
"Captain, the scout team was also attacked and completely annihilated. The means of attack is also long-range, most likely magic firearms. If we estimate based on the range of our magic guns, the enemy's ambush should be within 20 kilometers. Maybe because of the wide range, the firepower isn't very concentrated. "
Commander Riley and Torreya exchanged glances and muttered, "It seems that the Demon Realm really does have magic firearms, and it has been popularized in the army. I don't know how the magic firearms of the Demon Realm are compared to ours. We need to further study it. Let's report the preliminary evaluation results first."
Finally, after paying a lot of losses, the scouts brought back a piece of news. They found a small town.
The small town was empty without any residents. All the supplies were also removed. It was a completely empty city.
The other troops behind also entered the Demon Realm one after another. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the army did not enter the small town. Instead, they chose a safe open space to camp.
The Demon Realm Coalition Command Headquarters quickly received this information. General Crawford of the Shadow Empire nodded, "Our enemy is also very patient. If we want to eliminate these soldiers, we also have to mobilize considerable strength."
"Town Terry is problematic at first glance. As long as they are not reckless, they will definitely not act rashly." Gerant smiled slightly, "The enemy is still testing us. They want to use this group of soldiers to draw out our main force. If I guessed correctly, this batch is just a bait that can be abandoned at any time. The real elite troops are waiting outside the 'door' to swallow us. Based on this move alone, our opponent is bold and ruthless enough. "
Corriffin, one of the three new generals of the Bloody Empire, sneered, "Since they are willing, we will swallow them all. Fighting in the Demon Realm is purely courting death. Even if it is a head-on battle, we have absolute confidence."
"No." Gerant shook his head, "This group of troops is their bait. It's not impossible to turn them over and become our bait. Even if we swallow that group of enemy elites ambushing behind the 'door', we will only be a little full. Our appetite should be bigger … "
Corriffin was startled, "Sir Commander means …"
"Let these human troops fall into a quagmire. Not only these, but also more troops. Then, we will nibble them bit by bit. Use the smallest sacrifice in exchange for the greatest benefit. "Gerant's eyes flashed," Now, give the order to execute Plan No. 3! "
"Plan No. 3?" The generals were taken aback, "Are we going to dispatch 'that' legion?"
At night.
The barracks of the human coalition army.
"As recorded in the ancient books, the moon of the Demon Realm is actually purple."
"Yeah, and it's so cold. It is said that the concentration of dark elements here is equivalent to the light elements on our ground … The brothers standing guard outside have been given extra coats."
"Except for the scouts during the day, we did not encounter any enemies. The Demons will definitely not let us have it so easy. Try to stay alert. This is our first night in the Demon Realm. I hope it is not the last night."
While they were talking, the sound of a warning horn suddenly came from outside.
"What is that! Black cloud? "
"No! It's the Curtain of Darkness of the dark magic! "
"All troops on alert! Form a shield formation! "
"Protect the mages."
"…"
However, after the Curtain of Darkness dispersed, nothing happened.
Two hours later, the Curtain of Darkness appeared again, and there was another commotion in the barracks, but the result was the same.
"It's another feint. This is the enemy's tactic to tire us out!" General Riley, with his rich experience, immediately figured it out. "But this kind of scheme can become real at any time! We can only accept the harassment like this. As long as we relax our vigilance, we may be attacked for real! Captain Torreya, can you dispel the Curtain of Darkness? "
Torreya shook his head, "This is the Demon Realm where the dark elements are the most active. Moreover, it is night time. Our light magic will only get half the result with twice the effort. It will be difficult to dispel the Curtain of Darkness."
"We have to try even if it's twice the effort!" General Riley clenched his fists, "Once the Demons' trick succeeds, we will all be in danger of being destroyed!"
Torreya clenched his teeth and nodded.
General Riley's worry was right. When it was close to dawn, the exhausted mages could no longer control the Curtain of Darkness. After another round of harassment, countless Demons finally appeared in the Curtain of Darkness.
Although the human soldiers were tired, with the efforts of the mages, they finally got a short rest. The appearance of the enemy also gave the soldiers a way to vent their depressed hearts. After a bloody battle, after paying a considerable price, they repelled the attack of the Demons.
Listening to the cheers of the soldiers, General Riley frowned. The attack of this group of Demons was extremely fierce. They did not care about their lives at all. Some even did not hesitate to use some kind of item to self-destruct, each in exchange for double the damage. However, the equipment of these Demons was very ordinary. They did not have the elite equipment that the vanguard of the attack had expected. Instead, they looked like very ordinary soldiers. What was going on?
This victory was also beyond the expectations of the commanders of the human coalition army. The bait that was released won against the enemy instead? The large army that was ready to go felt like they had punched the air instead.
In any case, this war had just begun.
In the Plain of Nightmares.
A figure stood on the hillside. Half of his face was that of a handsome man, while the other half was that of a ferocious monster. The contrast between the two faces was strong. The only similarity was the gaze, which seemed to see through everything and was staring at the Nightmare Volcano in the distance.
The volcano seemed especially calm.
It was even calmer than the "door" from before.
