Devil's Journey

Chapter 117 The First Battle Begins

Tranya City has more than 20 citizens, which is considered a big city. Even the capital of Thalia Kingdom, Flower City has only [-] citizens.

However, in the face of war, the defense of this kind of city is somewhat powerless. The soldiers, mercenaries, and adventurers of the black iron ranks in the city add up to only more than 2000 people, but tens of thousands of young and strong can be summoned to serve as auxiliary defenders. city.

Although these young men can't fight in field battles, they are still useful for defending the city, such as carrying equipment, throwing stones and wood, carrying the wounded, and other miscellaneous tasks, so that the soldiers can concentrate on fighting.

However, after the magic army besieged the city, they did not immediately attack the city, as if they were waiting for something. Not long after, the allied crusade led by the Bathory family went north.

Of course, the coalition forces did not directly reach the city of Tranya, but stopped more than ten kilometers south of the city of Tranya, and then the cavalry regiment moved forward, and the infantry regiment defended. Build a camp on the hill.

Thousands of light cavalry wandered in front of the formation, constantly harassing the periphery of the demon army with bows, crossbows and javelins, and continuously sent back the observed military situation.

It wasn't until after the initial construction of the barracks that General Derek, who commanded the coalition forces, called a meeting of the commanders of the various ministries. Except for the commanders in charge of duty, all the officers above the regimental commander gathered in the military tents.

Together with General Derek, there are a total of three gold ranks, Julian and another viscount named Preet, who served as the commanders of the Knights and Sergeants respectively.

Julian was sitting on Derek's left, and Pulitt, who was opposite him, looked at him with unfriendly eyes. Apart from the jealousy caused by Julian's 'deceiving' the Countess into his hands, the reason was also the position of the commander of the Cavaliers Wing.

Theoretically, if General Derek dies in battle, the military power will be taken over by the knight commander, and the sergeant major will be the third. Viscount Prieter, who was born as a veteran aristocrat, values ​​qualifications and bloodlines the most, so he is naturally dissatisfied with Julian. Cut in line.

Even though he couldn't beat Julian, he still refused to accept Julian and tried his best to maintain his stance as a master. Such nobles are actually quite common, and Julian didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

People who are about to die, why talk too much.

"The magic army is more than expected, and our army doesn't seem to have the upper hand." Julian looked at the military newspaper with a serious expression, and then expressed his caution with a serious expression.

As a matter of course, he heard a cold snort, and Viscount Prieter with a neat beard said contemptuously: "We are here to destroy evil, how can we be afraid, not to mention, although there are many enemies, there is only one A strong man of the golden rank, Julian Knight, is he afraid?"

Julian revealed a gloomy face when he heard the words, and said with a smirk: "Afraid? I just don't want the loyal knights to suffer unnecessary casualties."

"Knights are proud of dying in battle. In order to slay demons, I don't think knights will be afraid to die on the way to charge. Knight Julian, please don't make excuses for your cowardice."

Prieter stood up and shouted loudly: If the Julian knight is afraid, it is better for me to be the knight leader of the knight unit. I am willing to be the first to kill the demon army with my lance held high.

Julian seemed annoyed, and also got up and pressed his sword and shouted: "You dare to insult my courage, I don't need you, I will lead the knights into the enemy line."

Prieter shrugged his shoulders, hummed softly and said, "Really? We'll wait and see, but the boys under my command won't be timid."

Then Prieter turned to General Derek, who looked a bit unhappy: "General, let's go to war. I am willing to lead the soldiers to defeat those demons in one fell swoop."

Derek, who was slightly displeased, glared at Preeter and said, "Don't be in a hurry for now. We will start the war after the barracks are built and the soldiers have rested."

Originally, Derek hoped that the demons would attack the city with heavy casualties, but he didn't expect that the demons didn't attack the city, but seemed to be waiting for them.

How cunning.

But even so, Drake didn't want to be like those young knights who were too hot-blooded, screaming and going straight to the battle, betting on victory or defeat.

That is not a qualified general, he needs to clearly know the strength of the enemy and himself, and patiently wait for the opportunity to win, the general needs victory, not heroic and heroic.

"Continue to strengthen the camp, um. Julian, you can bring a small number of knights to test the strength of those demons." General Derek said calmly. War is not a child's play. He has never fought against demons before. Hearing the news, I really have no idea.

Naturally, Julian had no intention of refusing. After accepting the order, Julian glanced at Prieter again, and then walked straight out of the military tent.

Not long after, Julian set off from the camp that was still being strengthened with fifty knights on tall war horses, ready to test the strength of those demons.

After that, Drake also took his officers out of the camp to watch Julian's challenge, and at the same time observe the fighting power and fighting methods of the demons with his own eyes.

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, a small group of armored knights quickly approached the demon army. The demon army camp stationed in the east of the city was quite rough, but this was normal. Demons could have strict military discipline, that would be a bit too strong for the demon army Difficult.

Dozens of Winged Demons flew in from the air, carrying out the task of the light cavalry, attacking the knights with arrows and spears, but the precision was impressive.

Julian picked up the bow and arrow, and shot down one of the winged demons, which made the winged demons pull up one after another. Because Julian sealed his own breath and wore a full set of plate armor, the demons who were already somewhat blind, naturally recognized it more. Not out Julian.

After Julian led the team to the demon camp, thousands of demons had already been driven out, but Liya was the overseer. The other demons couldn't recognize him, but Liya recognized Julian almost only by his figure up.

Liya, who was ecstatic in her heart, almost threw herself into the battle, but fortunately, her reason was still there. Liya, who was awake, suppressed her excitement, and still drove the demons to the battle to die with a blank expression.

These demons are dead, and there are more inside, as long as the master is happy, Liya leads more than a hundred demon swordsmen to supervise the battle without paying attention.

Thousands of demons didn't think too much about it, they didn't even need Liya's urging, they saw the demons rushing up excitedly, and there was even a silver-ranked armored demon charging forward.

The armored demon looks like a centaur made of armor, holding a lance and kite shield and rushing forward first. In the eye sockets of the mask, two bloody lights stare faintly at Julian, who is also rushing as a whole team.

Wearing a high-end magical power plate armor imported from the Mage Union, Julian shouted for Alice, and then pierced the armored demon with a single shot.

The black plate armor was pierced through the chest, and the powerful force flew out the armored devil, but the armored devil's lance was blocked by Julian's shield.

With a violent roar, Julian flew the armored cavalry with a lance like a god, and the moment he entered the enemy's formation, Julian suddenly had an idea that perhaps he could use Aiden's soul to create a knight demon.
