Gordon nodded. "Very well. But we need to rest for a while. "
The demon army's rapid march of a few hundred kilometers was quite taxing on their stamina and spiritual power. If they did not rest now and continued to march to the Wangtu River Valley, their combat strength would be reduced by 30%.
Hodan said, "Lord Demon General, regarding this war, Lord Calamity King has more specific instructions."
"Speak."
"You can divide your forces into two," Hodan said. "Half of the cannon fodder will go to the Wangtu River Battlefield first to deplete the enemy's strength. As for the other half of the elites, they can meet up with the reinforcements of the demon army and go to the battlefield to wipe out the enemy's exhausted forces. "
"Demon Beast Army?" Goraton repeated the name.
Hodan nodded. "Yes, the demon army that assisted Lord Calamity King in eliminating the 2000 skeleton soldiers and thwarting the undead's scheme."
Gordon narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait, is this really Lord Calamity's order?"
"Absolutely."
Hodan took out a Demon's Eye. "You can confirm it with Lord Calamity King."
Gordon said, "I'll do it myself." He did not take the Demon's Eye from Hodan's hand and took out a Demon's Eye himself and infused it with dark power.
The Demon's Eye rose into the air and quickly expanded.
Soon, the Lord Calamity's voice came from the giant green eye. "Gordon."
"Great Lord Calamity."
Gordon knelt on the ground. "Your humble servant, Gordon, requests your personal command."
Goraton could feel the King of Disaster's violent spiritual energy from this voice, and it was no different from the voice he had heard before.
"I have ordered Hodan to convey the specific instructions. Thou only need to obey. "
There seemed to be a hint of impatience in the rumbling voice.
Gordon hurriedly said, "Yes, great Lord Calamity King, your subordinate will obey your orders."
The green Demon's Eye shrunk and returned to Gordon's palm.
"Lord Demon General, do you have any other questions?" Hodan asked.
"No." Gordon asked.
Goraton asked. "I will leave some elite troops here to wait for the Demonic Beast Army to converge. How long will it take for them to arrive? "
Hodan said, "Soon. When I gave the order, they were already preparing to set off. "
Gordon nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
From Gorathon's point of view, the Calamity King's battle command was actually questionable.
Using half of the army as cannon fodder to exhaust the enemy's strength in order to achieve the final victory, even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
Since they had the Demon Beast Army as backup, they might as well join forces with the Demon Beast Army and meet the enemy with the strongest army. It was possible that they could defeat the enemy directly and achieve a great victory!
This was also the reason why Gorathon doubted the Calamity King's orders.
However, since it was confirmed that it was an order from the King of Calamity himself, it was fine.
In any case, no demons would truly die in this war. The dead demons would be reborn after a certain period of time.
Regardless of whether it was a pyrrhic victory or a complete victory, as long as it was a victory, the result would not make a difference. It was just to please the Silver King and give the King of Calamity more face.
Gordon ordered the three Demon Lords to lead the five thousand Demon Beast Army and continue towards the Forgotten Path River Valley.
These five thousand Demon Beasts were mostly Imps, Underworld River Imps, Blade Demons and other cannon fodder troops. They were the cheapest and weakest troops.
The rest of the powerful troops such as Shiromancers and Pain Demons stayed in place according to the King of Calamity's orders, waiting to meet up with the Demon Beast Army.
… …
"Why aren't they here yet?"
Gordon was a bit impatient. It had already been an hour since Hodan left.
The other Demon Lords advised, "Sir Demon Lord, those Demon Beasts are not worth relying on. Why don't we enter the battlefield first?"
Gordon shook his head, "No, this is the King of Calamity's order. We must obey."
After waiting for a while.
Finally, Gordon and the other powerful Demon Lords sensed a large number of spirit energy waves from afar.
"They're here!"
A Demon Lord excitedly shouted.
On the ground far away, a large group of Demon Beasts, led by a snow-white wolf, ran towards the Demon Beast Army.
Gordon went up to greet them.
"Thou art the King of Calamity's new mount?"
"Awoo."
"Thou … should be able to understand my language, right?"
"Awoo!"
"Alright, thou must listen to my orders from now on. There must be no mistakes!"
"Awoo?"
Veins popped out on Gordon's forehead.
Suddenly, smoke and dust rose from all sides of the Kohun Hills.
Dense spiritual energy fluctuations surged in from all directions.
A Demon Lord shouted, "Not good, Your Excellency Gordon! We're surrounded! "
"It's the Undead! More than ten thousand Undead! "
In the distance, ten skeleton phalanxes appeared from four different directions, slowly approaching in formation.
"Thou …" Gordon suddenly looked at the Wrath Claw.
The Wrath Claw sat on the ground in a standard dog posture, looking innocently at Gordon.
"We've been tricked!" Gordon angrily shouted, "This Demon Beast is in cahoots with the Undead. It made us wait for so long just to buy time for the Undead Army to surround us! "
"Where's Hodan? He … "
"He must have defected to the enemy!" Gordon said with certainty.
"General Gordon, what should we do now?" The Demon Lords asked all at once.
Gordon briefly assessed the strength of his side and immediately calmed down. He said loudly, "Everyone, don't worry. Although we've divided our forces, the ones left here are all elites, and we still have five thousand soldiers! Although the enemy has a lot of people, they're just skeletons that aren't worth mentioning. One against ten, we'll definitely defeat the enemy! "
After pausing for a moment, Gordon shouted, "Don't forget, our greatest advantage is that we don't fear death!"
"That's right!"
"We can be reborn!"
The Demon Lords encouraged their troops, and the morale of the five thousand Demon Lords immediately rose.
In one of the skeleton phalanxes, Bai Xiaowen, who was wearing a hood and hiding his tracks, narrowed his eyes.
"Looks like they're planning to meet force with force. As expected, the Demon Lords are very confident in the quality of their troops. "
"Unfortunately, I don't plan to meet force with force. As a Commander-type Demon Lord, in this kind of battlefield, I'm as useful as a King-class Demon Lord! "
Bai Xiaowen was actually a little modest. He himself had the strength of a King-class Demon Lord, and as a Commander-type Evolver, it wouldn't be too much to say that he could match up to two King-class Demon Lords.
True Yuan surged violently, and suddenly, the image of a black giant appeared above the ten skeleton phalanxes.
