Arad's Sword

Chapter 579
The day after Midi met the blood lion demon.

Well, it's the start of a new week.

The demon army that has been prepared is about to set foot on the bloody battlefield again to find their opponents.

Even if this is a meaningless and rewardless war, as long as the Heart of the Revenant is under the effect, these resentful souls will have no choice.

However, this time, since Midi has obtained the position of commander-in-chief, it will naturally not be the same as before.

Perhaps, the resentful souls really do not have the right to choose "fight" or "not fight" before legendary magic items.

But exactly how and with whom to fight is another matter.

In the past, the method of the demon army was to march directly forward, and the scouts spread out about ten kilometers away. After encountering the enemy, they immediately turned to the marching position, and then a fierce battle ensued.

But this time, Midi directly scattered all the blade demons who had mastered the void travel skill, and ordered them not to come back until they had explored hundreds of kilometers away!

Obviously, Midi doesn't want to fight this kind of battle anymore. On the contrary, he wants to grasp the initiative of the entire battlefield!
The movement speed of the scouts was much faster than that of the main army, and although this bloody battlefield was a world of its own, it was much smaller than the sixth floor of the Underdark, and even smaller than the Crystal Dragon Castle.

Soon, the released scouts sent back news one by one.

"There is an army of demons in the northeast, numbered as the First Legion."

"There is an allied army of true dragon fighters in the north, numbered as the Second Legion."

"There is an army of demons in the east, numbered as the Third Legion."

According to the feedback from the scouts, Midi numbered the other legions one by one and marked them all on the sand table.

"So, human, who are you going to attack?"

On the side, the blood lion demon commander asked a little strangely.

According to his estimation, Midi should want to find the weakest army, defeat it directly in one go, and then cover up a strong momentum, and then go to trouble the second army, just like this. , until eight consecutive victories.

That's why Midi wanted to get the location coordinates of each legion so that he could pounce on the opponent immediately after the battle.

However, in these thousands of years, this method of warfare has actually been tried.

Basically, it's not feasible at all.

First of all, under the deliberate manipulation of Revenant Heart, the strengths of the nine legions are roughly the same, and victory or defeat depends more on morale and on-the-spot performance.

Secondly, even if the first battle is won with almost zero losses, it is impossible to guarantee the same result for the next seven battles.

After thousands of years, the best result is said to be that one legion defeated the other five legions, but in the end it completely collapsed in the sixth battle.

It can be said that eight consecutive victories within a week, this is an extremely tough endurance battle within a limited time.

Therefore, it is meaningless to search for the positions of so many legions as soon as you come up.

After all, the legion is not a dead thing. When you are fighting, the opponent has already moved.

Even if you win the battle, you still need to rest and rectify. You can get the most accurate information when you conduct scouting between battles. There is no need to spread the scouts now. It is just a waste of time and energy. .

But for the question of the commander of the blood lion demon, Midi just smiled and didn't answer much.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he pointed at the army in the east.

"We give priority to attacking the Third Army!"

Under this order, the demon army immediately set off and rushed towards the east.

However, when the two armies were about to come into contact, Midi suddenly issued another order to make the army turn to the north!

At the same time, after discovering Midi's army, the demon army codenamed "No. [-] Legion" immediately launched a pursuit.

As a result, one legion was in the front and the other was behind, and the two legions actually launched a rare chase.

Under Midi's careful command, coupled with some ambushes left on the flat ground from time to time, this made the Third Army try their best to catch up with Midi's army.

But gradually, Midi was trying to catch up with the army in front.

"Could it be...you want to..."

Faintly, the blood lion demon guessed some of Midi's thoughts.

For a moment, he couldn't help widening his eyes, and looked at Midi with undisguised surprise.

But Midi just smiled lightly, and replied: "My method, to be honest, is extremely risky. After all, no one has ever done this before. Therefore, in case of danger, it is better for everyone to run away. Otherwise, if we fail, our legion will become the only army that has truly perished on this bloody battlefield for thousands of years."

"Perhaps, but that's not going to stop you, is it?"

The Blood Lion Demon froze for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"Of course I won't stop. On the contrary, I will carry out this tactic to the end. Now, the whole army obeys the order and attacks!"

Midi nodded, and then shouted the order.

The next moment, this army of demons ignored the group of enemies who were still biting their tails tightly, and rushed directly towards the coalition of real dragon fighters numbered "No. [-] Legion"!

In an instant, the shouts of the soldiers and the clash of swords resounded throughout the battlefield!
However, it was only for a moment.

Because Midi adopted the "scratch the edge" tactic.

He didn't really let his army collide with the "No. [-] Army" head-on, but suddenly increased its speed by ordering, and then let the side of the formation slightly collide with the "No. [-] Army".

Since the opponent had never encountered such a tactic, they immediately suffered a disadvantage. In this collision, hundreds of golems were directly wiped out.

As for Midi's army, there was almost no loss.

More importantly, the speed of his army did not decrease at all, nor did it fall into the dogfight of positional warfare, but maintained a very high sprint speed and continued to move forward.

"Now, turn to the northeast. At the same time, the scouts must immediately find out the positions of the other five legions!"

Midi gave the order again.

At the same time, behind his army, the allied army of true dragon fighters who were attacked, and the army of demons following Midi, got mixed together.

As soon as the two armies met, they immediately met each other like enemies, they were extremely jealous, and they fought into a group.

But at the same time, they didn't stop their pace, but continued to move forward while attacking each other, continuing to chase Midi.

This situation made Midi, who had always been extremely serious, finally smile.

Everything, as he expected.

Although the Heart of the Dead is a true legendary magic item, it is still just a magic item after all. It has no will of its own and can only act according to the established rules.

Once the two legions meet, they will definitely enter into a state of hostility, and they will fight without releasing water.

These are the rules of Revenant Hearts.

But what would happen if three, four, or more legions met at the same time?

It is unknown who will attack whom, who will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and who will benefit from it.

Just because she didn't know, Midi's approach was to try it directly.

Among them, the worst result is naturally that a legion will stare at the opponent it first encountered and chase after it.

In this way, it means that the army of Midi, who is constantly pulling hatred, will have to face multiple enemies at the same time.

But judging from the current situation, Midi encountered the best result, not the earliest result.

That is, as long as different legions meet together, regardless of the order, they will attack each other.

And as long as Midi's army is not involved in this kind of chaotic battle, they can wait on the sidelines, wait until these armies are exhausted from each other, and then defeat them all in one go!

Presumably, the top commanders of the "Second Legion" and "Third Legion" will immediately see through Midi's blatant tactic of sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight.

But the problem is that they don't have extremely high command talents like Midi, and therefore, it is impossible for their army to catch up with Midi. On the contrary, they will always be entangled with each other and cannot escape.

Of course, in the real world, any general who is smart enough will tacitly cease fighting at this time, and then form a three-way confrontation.

But unfortunately, under the coercive action of the heart of the dead, the two armies that had already fought together could not stop at all.

What's worse, they won't give up on the pursuit of Midi's army, because that also means releasing water and truce.

Therefore, the two armies had to pursue Midi while fighting, knowing that Midi was going to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

On the other hand, Midi has already launched an attack on the third army.

"Since I have discovered the loophole in the mechanism of Revenant Heart, the next thing to do is very simple. Pull all the troops together to form a chaotic battle!"

A gleam flashed in Midi's eyes.

In the chaotic battle, it can be said that the consumption speed of the other eight armies will become abnormally fast.

As for Midi, as long as he manages to get out of the battle circle, he can wait for work with ease and easily defeat the almost exhausted legion at once!
Even if it is involved in the battle circle, as long as it adopts the strictest defensive posture, it must be the one that consumes the least.

At that time, it will not be a big problem to achieve eight consecutive victories.

"Maybe we can win!"

On the side, the blood lion demon was also very excited.

He has been trapped here for thousands of years. It can be said that his thinking has become as rigid as a stone.

But Midi has only been here for more than a month, and he has already figured out the essence of the soul of the dead, and maximized his command talent, creating the current situation!
Even if it's just a resentful soul, the blood lion demon suddenly felt that his blood was boiling and his heart was beating faster.

Perhaps, eight consecutive victories within a week can really be achieved!

No, it doesn't even take a week, as long as Midi can grasp the positions of the remaining legions and drag them all in with a fast march, then victory will be just around the corner.

"It's not that we may win, but we must win." Midi replied calmly, and then issued an order again, "Pierce the formation, the target, the No. [-] Legion in front, and charge the whole army!"
