…“The source of the demons is suspected to be from the central part of the Brave Continent.”

"There are a lot of them, they move very quickly, and they attack a lot of targets."

"There is no clear purpose, just to cause destruction or kill..."

"This is the image everyone has of a demon. It's very dangerous and very chaotic. There's no order at all."

"Judging from the number of these demons, most of the forces in the north of the Brave Continent are completely unable to withstand the opponent's attack."

Elio explained and stared at Annie silently, wanting to hear her side of the story.

Annie thought about it carefully, vaguely guessed Elliot's intention, and asked tentatively:
"The way demons increase their numbers is mostly through various sacrifices. As long as we ensure that they cannot obtain too many souls, we can block their offensive to a certain extent."

"We can take the initiative to attack and catch these demons off guard. Once they see our strengths and weaknesses, they can shift their targets and transition to the areas we are best at."

What is Bay Leader's best area?
Call on others to work for you!
Hearing this, Elliot gave her a thumbs up and continued to make arrangements with a smile:
"In the next few days, we will adapt to the environment here and complete the debugging of weapons and equipment. The early strategic deployment has been successfully completed."

Just waiting for yourself?
Although Annie understood, she was unwilling to let go of such an opportunity as soon as it came.

She knew very well that suitable fighting opportunities were extremely rare on the battlefields of the Gulf Territory.

After all, fighting represents all kinds of gains and represents numerous rewards.

At least, that's how it was in almost all battles for the Gulf Territory's elite fighters.

The desire for battle is no less than the pursuit of strength and expertise.

Nodding solemnly, Annie no longer showed any politeness and decisively arranged for the El elves and accompanying combat personnel to enter the military camp and quickly integrate into the combat sequence.

She would only take over the authority to command operations, but would not arrange specific combat tasks for the team.

That is the task of many combat team captains and basic commanders. Annie believes in their expertise and their abilities.

After all, they have experienced a lot of battles, especially various small-scale encounters, which are their forte.

Through her research on the demon army, Annie quickly discovered several of its characteristics:

"Although the demon army is large in number, they lack sufficient coordination and corresponding command."

"If we can kill the high-level demons first, the remaining demons will become a mess."

"Demons usually don't need logistical supplies, which means they need to conduct corresponding route reconnaissance."

"However, considering that these demons are more likely to attack proactively, it is better to prepare some bait to lure them into taking the bait."

Elio affirmed Aini's idea and signaled her to command the battle as she wished.

12 month 23 day.

The large gathering of people and small-scale contact combat attracted the demon armies from three directions.

These demons rushed over mountains and rivers, howling and chasing the Gulf Lord's combat troops.

In order to protect the sudden attack capabilities of various weapons and equipment, the small-scale combat forces of the Gulf did not call for rocket and missile support.

Even so, the flexible self-propelled artillery with a long range still brought considerable damage and pressure to the demon troops.

Although they have strong vitality, they are ultimately just flesh and blood and cannot withstand the explosion of steel and artillery.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of this kind of "seduction" that the army of demons became quite annoyed and followed with howls.

The Gulf Leader drones hidden in the sky are constantly collecting information and data on these demons to improve the next combat plan.

The demon army was eventually led into the Frozen Valley.

These brutal and dangerous guys attempted to lay siege to the newly built Icewind Fortress.

When the demon army gathered together, the various light and heavy artillery and machine guns that had been waiting for a long time immediately opened fire.

Boom!

The successive explosions and the continuous emergence of flames immediately cleared out a large number of small demons.

The angry demons let out sharp roars and glided over, flapping their wings.

The fiery red metal storm was formed into a death net that reaped lives. Just by shooting forward, it could tear the demon in half.

Before the most powerful elite demon appeared, a very sharp sound of breaking through the air came from above.

The elite demons tried to dodge, thinking that it was some other kind of shells that were falling.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The falling assault cabin created a violent shock wave, instantly repelling all the demons within a radius of twenty to thirty meters.

As the metal hatch slowly opened, the fully automatic turret outside the hatch began to spew out scorching flames.

The flying bullets brought about a bloody storm.

Even the most fearless demons could not help but feel fear at the sight of the turret that was constantly emitting flames.

The surging fog spread out from the hatch.

The demons had no time to react before the precise explosive bombs hit their heads.

The demon's head exploded and its hideous body fell to the ground.

The horrifying scene frightened even the cruelest demons.

As soon as they got away from the spreading fog, their tall bodies emitting thunderous light and shadow suddenly rushed out.

The buzzing chain-toothed giant sword fell on the bodies of these demons with extraordinary slashing speed.

Click!

Wow!
Pong!
The sounds of breaking bones and tearing flesh rang out one after another.

The demon that was chopped down lost his life instantly before he even had time to scream.

What made these demons even more terrified was that the Gulf Dragon Warriors, wearing thunder armor, were wrapped in a special blessing light.

After killing other demons, they will not only destroy their bodies, but also tear apart their souls.

This means that even if these demons could return to the Abyss and be resurrected, they would have to start from scratch.

The complete loss of power made these demons feel worse than death.

The dragon warrior kept attacking, charging through the demon army, and cooperating with his teammates to continue causing damage.

Before the battle began, the elite demons who had been so arrogant were now in a dilemma.

They watched the dragon warriors killing everyone without any scruples. They wanted to fight with them, but were afraid of the loss of power after being killed.

After all, their current bodies cannot exert all their strength.

They also want to plunder enough souls to open the gates of hell through sacrifice, so that they can rebuild and reshape their bodies.

But once they hesitate, chaos in the demon army will be inevitable.

There was a continuous barrage of artillery fire.

Disrupted the "thinking" of these elite demons.

These guys gave up their best skills, namely fighting and muscles, and couldn't use their poor brains to come up with any brilliant ideas.

The dragon warriors easily avoided areas that were about to be bombed, or rushed into areas that had just been bombed, and quickly dealt with the surviving demons.

Seeing the dragon warriors running rampant, the high-level demons who were hiding did not wait any longer.

They exuded a powerful aura and rushed over without hesitation. The strange power spread from them, allowing the surrounding demons to gain different strengths.

The elite demons, who were originally frightened, regained their morale under their leadership and surrounded the dragon warriors with "howls".

Waiting for these elite demons is a new weapon that the Elf Dragon Warriors pull out from their waists - the heavy anti-demon shotgun!

Brilliant yellow and red patterns are spread all over the gun.

As the dragon warriors pulled the trigger, complex and colorful magic circles quickly lit up, and the rotating bullets, with red and purple flames, roared and crashed into the oncoming demons.

boom! boom! boom!
The fist-sized hole quickly took away the strength and courage of these demons.

The special corrosive force spreads along the wound to all parts of the body.

In reality, it was a purple-red flame that ignited the demon from the inside out, burning with a greedy "sizzle".

If you touch it, you will be injured; if you are hit, you will die.

The elite demons, who were quite powerful, not only could not gain any advantage in front of the dragon warriors, but were slaughtered like chickens and ducks.

Elite demons fell in large numbers, causing the high-level demons who were about to launch a charge to immediately slow down their pace.

A higher IQ makes them more eager to survive.

However, from the moment they appeared on the battlefield, all kinds of weapons of the Gulf Territory had already been targeting them.

The first things to fly over were naturally the dense array of light and heavy artillery shells.

When these high-level demons sensed the danger, the shells that could fly hundreds of meters per second had already landed near them.

The violent explosion surrounded almost all the high-level demons.

They didn't even have time to react before they were seriously injured.

More than half of the high-level demons were even killed directly.

Only a very small number of special high-level demons, through their teleportation talents and abilities, managed to escape from the explosion zone before the attack arrived and survived by chance.

Before these frightened high-level demons could react, a second batch of shells whizzed over.

The high-level demon, unable to use the teleportation ability again in a short period of time, could only roar helplessly, and then was overwhelmed by the surging artillery fire and explosions.

They die in a miserable way, with their huge bodies usually blown to pieces.

Even if there are occasional high-level demons that are not completely dead, their heads will be chopped off by the dragon warriors who rush over quickly.

The high-spirited demon army was on the verge of collapse under the impact of explosions and flames before it even approached the walls of Icewind Castle.

Just at this time, the dragon warriors slowed down their pursuit and began to kill the demons in the rear, driving the demon army to flee towards the north and west.

That place happens to be the territory of other forces in the northern continent!
Of course, the Gulf leader did this not to divert trouble to others.

After all, these tens of thousands of demons are not a disaster.

If the Gulf Lord is willing, the thousands of dragon warriors who complete each airborne assault mission can eliminate them all.

Before driving away and hunting down these demons, the Gulf Lord also issued a unified battle warning to the locations of other forces.

"A large number of demons are about to arrive!"

Other forces, after seeing the freshly-released battle footage, immediately began preparing for battle.

At the same time, the news of the appearance of a large number of demons in the Brave Continent was quickly transmitted back to the Northern Continent, and support was requested from the headquarters.

As the influence of the elemental tides becomes more and more obvious, the Brave Continent, which was already rich in resources, has become a veritable treasure trove.

Now, it has become an indispensable resource base for major kingdoms and many lords and nobles.

The increasing demands on various factories and production lines, as well as the ever-increasing consumption of military equipment, require a steady supply of various materials.

Also, many top lords and nobles have tasted the sweetness of fame and the benefits of supporting war through war.

Not to mention the appearance of demons in the Brave Continent, even if evil creatures or monsters appeared, they would never retreat.

Just when I'm tired of fighting orcs, I decided to pick some stronger opponents, which would further increase my fame and provide better "publicity".

Of course, Matthew’s instigation was also indispensable.

He combined his past memories with the various information collected by the Goblin Empire and told these lords and nobles a piece of news that made them very excited:
"Some powerful demon lords often possess divine power or divinity."

"As long as we kill them and use the magic sealing rituals and magic arrays produced by the Gulf Territory to seal and purify them, we can successfully store and absorb them."

Can you obtain divine power and divinity?
Many lords and nobles were skeptical.

Many factors can be taken into consideration, as well as the Gulf leader’s “never lie” style.

A considerable number of powerful lords and nobles chose to gather their forces, mobilize manpower, and quickly head to the Continent of Brave.

They not only have to protect their own property and the property of surrounding forces, but also have to further demonstrate their strength and advance the progress of the method of becoming a god.

For a time, orders for various combat supplies came in one after another.

The production factory of Gulf Leader started to work overtime again.

Especially in the newly expanded shipbuilding plant, one steel warship after another was quickly launched and headed southward in a mighty force.

Such a big commotion naturally brought about a series of chain reactions.

Many fighters followed them to the Brave Continent for adventure.

The orc army, which had been retreating step by step, was temporarily stabilized with the support of the Kor elves.

Even the corresponding development of various territories and kingdoms was temporarily affected.

In this case, the Gulf leader discovered a crucial point.

The once powerful combat force of the Cole Elf Kingdom suddenly disappeared and returned to the country.

It seems that they are planning to solve the many troubles and problems at home first, and then continue to implement their plan to dominate the mainland when they have freed up their hands.

However, this is just the thinking of many managers in the Gulf region.

Matthew, who knows the Cole elves very well, has different ideas:

"The Cole elves are ready to take action!"

The appearance of the demon army may be related to the Elf Kingdom of Kor.

This is such an obvious strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

However, the lords, nobles, major forces and kingdoms in the northern continent had to "execute" according to his plan.

The reason is simple, this is an open conspiracy of the Elf Kingdom of Kor.

They can always accurately grasp the pain points of other forces, make various preparations in advance, and decisively take action when the opportunity is right.

If Matthew guessed correctly.

Since the Felin Demon Kui has appeared.

Then it won’t be long before the Kingdom of Kor Elf “dismembers” the Empire of Netheril.

There's a "good show" to watch! (End of this chapter)
