Chapter 1553: Border (I can only wear single clothes when I am so hot in the house)


    Basically in a similar world, the brave men fought against the Demon King alone or in teams, and the reason was very simple.


    Humans have insufficient military strength and firepower.


    Generally speaking, the demons have sufficient troops and powerful firepower, or can drive monsters to fight for them. In contrast, humans can mobilize much less troops. Especially in this era, there are neither large-scale weapons of destruction nor easy-to-get weapons. In the battlefield where the number of meat is purely ground, the party with the largest number and least fears of sacrifice is naturally the advantage.


    So in order to offset this advantage, the best way is to concentrate a small number of elite forces and carry out beheading battles against the other party.


    No matter whether the other party is a demon, Zerg, green skin or something else, this set of tactics is useful.


    The premise is that the brave must be strong enough.


    So simply put, it’s not that humans don’t want to play the tactics of the sea of ??people, they just can’t afford it.


    If they could afford to play, they would have played long ago.


    So, can the problem be solved by beheading the Demon King?


    In fact, it is...can''t.


    Beheading the Demon King will only lead to the lack of a leader in the group of dragons. The Demon King Army may start civil strife due to the struggle for ruling power, thus giving mankind some time. Therefore, the best way is to destroy all the Demon King Army and kill them completely without leaving any one. Because humans can''t do it, they can only settle for the second best choice to assassinate the Demon King.


    After all, it will take at least ten years to train a soldier from birth to being able to go to the battlefield, and the interval is too long. The human civilization level in this world is not high, the population is low, and the birth rate cannot be guaranteed. What kind of human wave tactics are there to play...


    Forget it, in short, it’s not too late to see what’s going on here at the moment.


    It took less time to Duanmuhuai to reach the border fortress. Because of the king''s handwritten letter and token, he soon met General Gros who was in charge of guarding the fortress.


    "Are you the brave man who was summoned?"


    General Gross is an old man over fifty years old and looks very majestic. However, when he saw Duanmu Huai, the old general was also quite surprised - from another level.


    "I heard that the one who summoned was not the brave men from another world?"


    "So what? What do you think the heroes in another world should be like?"


    Duanmuhuai held his arms in his arms and stared at the old general, who frowned and continued to think for a moment.


    "Woo...I don''t know either, but at least it should be different from us, although you are indeed quite unique."


    "Okay, let''s talk about the serious matters."


    Duanmu Huai waved his hand and cut off the topic directly, and the old general didn''t say much. After all, the other party holds the king''s handwritten letter and token, and even has the power to mobilize the kingdom''s army, so I can only do it now.


    "I want to know about the current trends of the Demon King Army and their composition."


    “This is not a problem.”


    Obviously, General Gross is quite a bit of a skill, or as long as he is not an idiot who is in a position to eat, this level should be taken for granted. Soon, he unfolded the military map and began to introduce the current situation to Duanmuhuai.


    According to Gross, the first large-scale attack by the Demon Kings Army was almost a month ago. At that time, all countries were caught off guard and were beaten to run away with their heads. They also threw away the border fortress and had to retreat here. After confirming that the invasion of the Demon King Army was true, the king immediately began the plan to summon the brave.


    Duanmu Huai asked carefully and confirmed that the Demon King Army was indeed composed of demons. At least from the description of the old general, they were not even considered as a sub-men, and they were pure aliens. It also includes monsters like ogres and stone monsters as the main vanguard forces. As the king said, the Demon King''s Army will manipulate a large number of monsters to attack, causing them to suffer heavy casualties.


    After all, for the Demon King Army, it doesn’t hurt that something like a monster will die, but for humans, even losing a soldier is a problem. Therefore, even if you replace ten monsters with one soldier, it will be a great profit for the demons.


    "…………And according to the information, the brave team in the Protective Kingdom seems to have eliminated one of the four heavenly kings. Therefore, the current Demon King Army is more cautious in its actions. In order to avoid encountering brave again, the remaining three heavenly king generals do not seem to intend to appear on the front line like before, which is considered good news."


    After all, if you encounter a brave man who is chopped head-on, you will really lose your wife and your army. I guess the unlucky Four Heavenly Kings died like this.


    But this does not mean that the situation has improved.


    "At present, the Demon King Army seems to be planning to suspend its offensive against the Protective Kingdom and turn to our country."


    "Oh? How can I tell?"


    "Because at the formal level, only our country has not yet seen any brave people."


    Gross hesitated for a moment and still expressed his guess.


    "The Kingdom of Guardians has been confirmed to have brave men because they have eliminated one of the Four Heavenly Kings. The first princess of the Kingdom of Demon Tools is a brave man who possesses magical artifacts. Only our country has no official brave men yet. Therefore, from the perspective of the Demon King Army, it is much easier to defeat our country in one breath and then deal with the other two countries."


    "It sounds better than singing, so it''s not so easy."


    Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.


    "So, are there any problems now?"


    "The biggest problem is naturally insufficient manpower."


    General Gross smiled helplessly. "It is really a cheating method for the Demon King Army to be able to manipulate thousands of monsters, and those monsters themselves also have powerful power, and ordinary soldiers are no match for them at all."


    "Have you ever thought about summoning adventurers? Even if they can''t go to the battlefield to participate in regular battles, they can at least form a guerrilla squad to investigate and harass the Demon King''s Army from the rear."


    “We can’t afford enough rewards.”


    The old general shook his head again.


    "And the ethics of adventurers are not trustworthy. It is hard to say whether they will become accomplices of the Demon King Army and attack us."


    "Um………"


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai pondered for a moment again.


    "By the way I came, I saw the Asian slave trade here... Can those Asians form an army to fight?"


    "Now I can be sure that you are indeed a brave man from another world."


    The old general smiled bitterly.


    "In our opinion, your proposal is something we can''t even think about."


    "Oh? Why?"


    "In legend, these Asians were the accomplices and subordinates of the first generation of demon kings. After the first generation of demon kings were annihilated by the first generation of brave men, they separated and fled everywhere. In fact, in every era when the demon king invaded humans, there were Asians who became accomplices of the Demon King''s army, so we never considered letting the sub-human race help us fight against the Demon King, which was of no benefit to them. On the contrary, if our country was destroyed, they would not be happy."


    "I see."


    Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and nodded.


    "Okay, I already understand the current situation, so what are the combat goals you want to achieve now?"


    "Greedy means naturally to destroy the Demon King Army... Hahaha, okay, just kidding. As of now, what I hope most is to regain the occupied fortress."


    Speaking of this, General Gross clenched his fists hard.


    "At that time, the attack of the Demon King Army came too suddenly, which made the fortress fall without much precaution. Strictly speaking, if we could detect the invasion of the Demon King Army earlier, we could completely resist the opponent''s attack. Although the current canyon is also suitable for defense, it is just a temporary stronghold after all, and it is not enough to resist the official attack of the Demon King Army. Looking back now, the loss of the fortress is too easy, and there must be an insider..."


    General Gross clenched his fists, showing an unwilling look.


    Maybe he is really unwilling to give up.


    "Are there enough soldiers?"


    "At present, as long as you regain the fortress, there are still enough soldiers to defend, of course, the premise is that the opponent should not have too powerful demons..."


    There is basically no possibility of this. After all, the old general himself said before that the demons like to show their strength by charging into battle, which is why they will go to the front line to fight in person at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings. After all, as long as they smash human resistance with an irresistible figure, they will greatly enhance their morale, weaken human fighting spirit, and show their strength.


    In other words, one of them danced too happily, and after being killed by the brave, the other three learned to be cowardly.


    But this does not mean that other powerful demons will be cowardly.


    The demon clan respects strength. As long as it shows more powerful power than the four heavenly kings, it is possible to seize the other party''s position. I heard that the status of the four heavenly kings is also obtained by them defeating their previous masters. Not to mention that there is one missing from the four heavenly kings now. There must be many demons eyeing each other, trying to show their strength to obtain this vacant position.


    “Double the patrol.”


    Duanmu Huai finally made a decision.


    "But in this way, the defense personnel will be reduced..."


    "You said that the demons were just harassing before, and I had a premonition that they would not just harass. Maybe they would launch an attack in the next two days. Therefore, I want you to send additional staff to be responsible for the alert. If there is any situation, please notify me immediately."


    "Okay, Lord Brave."


    Although the old general wanted to say something, he didn''t say anything in the end. Perhaps he also felt that if the Demon King Army really advanced, then his subordinates would not be enough no matter how they fiddled with it. Since that is the case, it would be better to learn about the other party''s actions earlier, and maybe it would be easier to be more careful.


    After this, Duanmuhuai naturally lived here. There was no place for Duanmuhuai to live in the simple checkpoint, so the old general arranged Duanmuhuai to the hotel in the village next to the checkpoint. He also ordered the village chief to take good care of the customer. Of course, the old general also specifically emphasized Duanmu Huai''s identity as a brave man. This naturally scared the village chief who had never seen the world nodded repeatedly, and then changed his hand and arranged the best room in the hotel for Duanmu Huai.


    “Huh………”


    Lying on the bed and looking at the strange ceiling, Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief.


    To be honest, until now, Duanmuhuai has not felt that this task has anything to do with joy.


    But he has decided that no matter what the world is like, he just needs to do it according to his own way. As for whether it will be a joy in the end... Then let''s talk about it later.


    Maybe the other party will directly revoke the priesthood of happiness when he sees that he is not qualified?


    If this is the case, it would be a good thing.


    After making the decision, Duanmu Huai also closed her eyes and fell asleep.
