Chapter 884 First Battle


    To be honest, when stepping out of the city gate, everyone was ready to fight the demons.


    However, the facts were completely beyond their expectations.


    Along the way, they had almost no decent resistance. According to those adventurers who had traveled to the North, there should be many monsters and demons here, but it has been ten days since the departure of the royal city, and the coalition forces have not even encountered a decent battle.


    Although I occasionally encounter attacks from the group of monsters when camping at night, I can basically not get any advantage in front of the coalition forces that are ready to fight.


    Thanks to this, the morale of the coalition forces has gradually declined.


    "What the **** is going on?"


    Ainice Fia and Eufilia were also puzzled, but Duanmu Huai sneered.


    “It’s very simple, we are falling into each other’s trap.”


    "Hey? Are there any traps?"


    "Of course, in fact, I think the commanders of each legion also know, but they have no choice."


    "There is no way?"


    “That’s right.”


    Seeing Ainisfia looking at herself waiting for explanation, Duanmu Huai shrugged.


    "Actually, it is a very simple strategy to lure the enemy deeper. The other party should want to use this method to gradually destroy the morale of the soldiers and at the same time keep us away from the royal city as much as possible. After we reach a certain target location, they will launch an attack, cut off our retreat, and then eat us in one go."


    "How could it be...is there no way?"


    "Of course there is a solution. Let''s turn around now and say that our actions have failed. Just go back to the royal city in shame with your tails stomping."


    "this………"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Ainisfia also reacted and immediately understood why Duanmuhuai said there was no way. Because that''s the case, their goal is to go to the North Fortress and activate the Great Enchantment again. So they can only move forward now, and the other party probably knows this, so they are not afraid of them retreating at all.


    "No wonder the atmosphere in the military camp is so tense..."


    Ainisfia muttered a few words. During this period, she would go to the camp where the adventurers had nothing to do. Although everyone seemed normal on the surface, Ainisfia still felt the tense atmosphere. She was still a little confused at that time, so now she understood after Duanmu Huai''s explanation.


    Everyone knows that there is a trap ahead. Although they don’t know where the trap is, they must be right in front.


    The best way at this time is to turn around and leave, but they cannot turn around and leave, so they can only continue to move forward like this - until they fall into the trap.


    So, is this coalition powerful enough to resist the threat of the trap?


    No one knows.


    Of course, Duanmu Huai, Ainisfia and others who were flying in the air were quite comfortable. The soldiers on the ground were obviously even more miserable. They had long since lost the spirit of leaving the royal city when they were welcomed by everyone. They all hung their heads, looking like they had lost a battle.


    At this moment, Duanmu Huai and Ainisfia made new discoveries.


    “Is there a city ahead?”


    Looking at the city in the distance, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes, and when he heard his words, Eufilia hurriedly took out the map and looked carefully, then nodded.


    "Yes, according to previous map records, it should be a commercial city located in the north. It is located in the center of the plain and has good transportation. It was the preferred trading center in the north at that time."


    "But now, it has obviously become a monster''s nest."


    The scene in front of Duanmu Huai quickly magnified, and then he saw the monsters jumping around between the broken walls. Now, the place has changed hands long ago.


    "I''ll inform the prince."


    “Go.”


    Soon, Ainisfia rode a broom and took Eufilia away, while Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at Ojis lying on his shoulder.


    "How is it? What do you think."


    "No."


    Faced with Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, Aojis shook his head.


    "Do whatever the master wants to do."


    "Really? Don''t you have any thoughts on your own?"


    Duanmuhuai reached out and poked Ao Jisi''s little face. It was quite interesting to tease her own little cotton jacket.


    "idea………"


    "Um?"


    "Please rest assured, my master, no matter what, I will be with my master."


    Faced with Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, Aojis thought for a moment, and then spoke.


    Then another sentence was added.


    "So, it doesn''t matter even if others are afraid of their master."


    "…………thank you so much."


    A moment later, Aynesfia and Eufia returned.


    “What do you say?”


    "His Highness Algard has ordered the entire army to accelerate its advance and intends to recover the city from the Warcraft as soon as possible."


    "Sure?"


    "Yes, there are rivers outside the city that can ensure water sources and water use. And the emergency marches during this period are indeed tense for the soldiers. They should be able to relax under the protection of the city walls..."


    Looking at Duanmuhuai, Eufilia lowered her head again.


    "This is what His Highness Algard said."


    "Okay, it doesn''t matter, he''s the commander anyway."


    Duanmuhuai shrugged.


    "But since that''s the case, we can''t engage in carpet bombing. We should fight according to the ideas of the people. Cover the home team in the air and use less powerful magic to defeat the opponent... Just like in training, do you understand?"


    "yes."


    At the same time, Prince Algard, who was located in the middle of the army, was also riding a war horse and staring at the city in the distance with a serious expression. An old soldier next to him couldn''t help but reach out and touched his white beard.


    "I really didn''t expect that there would be a day to come back here again."


    "Are you familiar with this city? General Gaius?"


    As a prince, although Yargard was indeed the commander of the army on the surface, everyone knew that it was impossible for such a young young man who was utterly unspoken actually led an army. Therefore, the deputy commander of the Expeditionary Force was led by the highly respected General Gaius. It is precisely because of this that this army can persist until now.


    "Of course, this was a very lively city before it fell. I heard that it fell in the royal city, but now I still feel quite heartbroken when I think about it."


    General Gaius was just immersed in the memories for a moment, and then he focused again.


    "So there are signs of demons?"


    "According to Eufilia''s report, there are only monsters among them at present, and no signs of demons have been found."


    "Um………"


    Hearing Algard mention Eufilia in an alienated tone, General Gaius nodded with a somewhat complicated expression. As Prince Algard''s military teacher, Gaius also knew very well that Prince Algard was not so convinced.


    To be honest, Prince Algard is indeed very hardworking and very attentive, but unfortunately, in the final analysis, he is just a talent, not a genius. Of course, for ordinary people, this may be enough, but unfortunately, Yargard''s sister is a genius.


    Anisfia, Vin Paretia.


    Although she did not enter into a contract with the elves and cast the ability of elves magic, even General Gaius was amazed by the magic that Princess Anisfia studied. To be honest, he wanted to promote the magic lightsaber invented by Aynesfia throughout the army, but unfortunately he was eventually stopped by the nobles of the Elf Faith Sect.


    It is obviously a good way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army...


    Although the princess was abrupt, General Gaius knew that many people actually took her contributions into consideration.


    If His Royal Highness can sign a contract with the elves and use the elves magic... then she might be the most suitable candidate for the king.


    Such rumors were also a blow to Yargard. Although she was sorry to Yargard, General Gaus also believed that Princess Anisfia was obviously stronger in terms of ability than Prince Algard - the only fatal disadvantage was that she could not form an elf contract and use elf magic.


    In fact, the king also understood that Yargard''s ability was insufficient, so he entered into a engagement with the Duke of Grants, making Euflia, known as the pearl of the Kingdom of Paretia, become Yargard''s fiancée. With this talented young lady as the princess, it can also make up for Yargard''s lack of ability.


    But unfortunately, Algard didn''t seem to like Ephia very much, and this time he went on an expedition. Originally, General Gaus was thinking that getting along with each other day and night in the army would warm up the relationship between the two, but Algard directly sent Ephia to Princess Ainice Fia...


    Hey, it may be very hard in the future if it seems like this.


    General Gaius also reached out to stroke his beard. If the king and the princess had a bad relationship, it would not be a good thing for the country. But this kind of affair between men and women is not what I am good at...


    “General Gaius?”


    At this moment, Algard also looked at Gaius, who was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.


    "It''s nothing, Your Highness, I just think we should be careful. We haven''t seen the demons along the way. The city has been abandoned for a long time, and maybe there will be demons setting up ambush traps inside."


    "I see."


    Hearing General Gaius''s words, Yargad nodded, but another young man next to him laughed.


    "General Gaius is just too cautious. In my opinion, those demons have probably run away long ago when they see so many of us. After all, there are not many demons, and they only dare to attack those small villages. Maybe those demons have left the north at this time and returned to their nests."


    "hehe……"


    Hearing the young knight''s words, Gaius didn''t say anything, but just smiled and looked forward with a look.


    At this moment, the abandoned city is already in front of you.


    At the same time, Yargard raised his hand.


    "Send the order and prepare to attack!"
