"Report, sir!" The horse stood up alone and then stopped steadily. The knight on the horse saluted Major General Longria, the top commander of the 26th Legion of the Demonic Alliance: "The enemy has entered the Tucheng!"

"I know, let's go down!" Longlia said with a smile to the people around him: "It is indeed the battle plan drawn up by the military department, it is so perfect!"

"I looked at the map. The wall of that earth city is only two people high." A young officer beside him asked: "Sir, do we want to attack immediately?"

"No, we are not attacking now." Longria said: "Our task is to keep an eye on them and wait for the follow-up troops."

"Why not attack? According to our observations along the way, this army is nothing special." The young officer asked puzzledly: "Isn't it a great achievement to eliminate this phantom army before other army groups?"

"No big deal? Do you know how much we paid to trap this phantom army?" Longlia said with a stern look: "Now I can tell you, the reason why Marshal Verlaine accepted the armistice request of the Divine Alliance,

To a large extent, it is to encircle and annihilate this legion!"

"What?"

"In order to completely annihilate this phantom army, the military has formulated a very thorough battle plan. No matter where they flee, they will not escape the fate of destruction." Longria looked at the blurry earth city wall in the distance and spoke word by word.

Said: "The entire plan involves more than twenty main battle legions. Just to prevent them from penetrating into the interior of the alliance, nine main battle legions are firmly guarding the borders of the two empires bordering Camp! Others

The legions formed encirclement and annihilation groups of varying sizes and roamed around Camp, and there were three legions dedicated to driving away refugees at the dividing line between gods and demons."

"Is the other party really that powerful?" The young officer was very surprised: "Does it need so many main battle regiments?"

"If you have five thousand soldiers, including three hundred scorpion warriors." Longria looked at the young officer and said, "How many divine coalition forces can you deal with?"

"Twenty thousand!" said the young officer: "At least twenty thousand! If not, chop off my head!"

"Behead your head? I'm afraid you don't have enough heads." Longria shook his head: "There are only 10,000 people, but this army was completely wiped out with less than 2,000 casualties!"

"impossible!"

"This is a fact! Not to mention that this phantom army turned Kemp into a pot of porridge by itself." Longria said bitterly: "Thanks to the cruelty of the army, all the people who could hide in Kemp were burned down.

The place must be burned down. Otherwise they will remain in Campo and no one will be able to catch them!”

"If they are really that powerful, can these few refugees in Tucheng stop them?"

"No matter what the reason is, this is how the military plan was formulated. In fact, they are also trapped here." Longria smiled faintly: "We are driving people in here, and there will naturally be people over there to help block...

…The entire demarcation line is being done like this. The Divine Alliance forces must escape, and we must annihilate this army and give everyone their place.”

"How could such a thing happen?" The young officer couldn't help but shake his head: "I really can't imagine that even such a legion as the Divine Alliance Army would be willing to give up."

"Child, you have to remember that this is the result of the agreement. Besides, there is nothing good in the Divine Alliance." Longria said: "Okay, I have to keep an eye on them before the follow-up troops come up... I have a report here,

You send it back to Savin!"

"But, father!" said the young officer, "in that case, I won't be able to catch up with the battle!"

"Glens, this is an order."

"Yes, Father, if you insist."

Glens took the document handed over by his father and left reluctantly.

"Silly boy! Is fighting fun? You are already twenty years old, when will you become more mature?" Longlia withdrew his gaze, turned to the herald and said: "The whole army is on alert! The magicians accompanying the army take turns to take off to observe!

Once you find any abnormal movement of the enemy, report it immediately!"

On the city wall of Tucheng, Cohen's pre-war meeting was also taking place.

"Obviously, we can't enter the Grand Canyon." General Liaison Officer Mafa said: "The Winged Scouts have scouted along the Grand Canyon, and the refugees in the canyon show no signs of moving forward. In other words, even if they kill all

We can’t get through the refugees blocked here.”

"Not to mention killing, many soldiers just ran to the city wall behind and threw their rations to their relatives under the wall." Military judge Jack said: "Even the soldiers of the law enforcement regiment were like this. The officers spent a lot of effort

We just drove them down. If the soldiers are asked to massacre their own villagers... I doubt they will rebel immediately."

"I suspect that the exit on the other side of the canyon is blocked." Cohen looked at the map and said, "They want to surround us here."

"Sir, what do you mean?" Moya whispered, "We have been betrayed?"

"Not necessarily, it may be other reasons." Cohen glanced at the officers beside him and thought that now was not the time to investigate the cause: "Immediately send wing soldiers to clear the way, but this will take time, we must make arrangements first

Defense.”

While everyone was discussing, a reconnaissance officer ran over and handed the information he had to Cohen.

"We have a little trouble." Cohen glanced at the intelligence: "The enemy's follow-up troops have appeared, another light cavalry regiment, and will arrive here in an hour."

"Order! Send four regiments to line up one mile in front of Tucheng, cover other troops, set up traps, and reinforce the city walls; demolish all the houses in Tucheng to build defenses, and the equipment regiment will step up the production of various defensive equipment." Cohen handed over his hands.

The information was mixed into a ball: "The logistics team is taking inventory of combat supplies and will implement supply restrictions from now on... for ten days."

"yes!"

"Report to the commander! The enemy has 10,000 troops under the city!"

"Are there any signs of movement of the enemy's main force?" Longria asked.

"No!"

"Where are our follow-up troops?"

"The nearest follow-up force is the 27th Army Corps." Longria's adjutant replied: "It will arrive in an hour at the latest!"

"Order the army to deploy and prepare for battle." Longria said: "Slowly advance to a place three miles away from the opponent. No attack is allowed without my order!"

"yes!"

Not long after, the entire legion had spread out into three lines, keeping a distance of one mile from each other. Each line was divided into three groups: front, middle and rear. Under the sound of the horn, all the troops were slowly advancing in order.

The 26th Legion of the Demonic Alliance is actually the Second Royal Guards Corps from the Demonic Wells Empire!

This is a legion with a glorious tradition and excellent records. It has a vigorous style and is especially good at long-distance attacks. It has been used to seal the enemy's retreat in all the wars between gods and demons. It is a very useful "sealing stick".

And running after the enemy like now.

This is actually the first time.

As the commander, Major General Longria acted very cautiously in this operation.

Because he understood that the honor of the Wells Empire had to be fought for by himself - another regiment-level commander of the empire, Major General Hampton, had died at the hands of this phantom army.

The Wells Empire was originally sparsely populated, and the number of legions it could send out to fight could be counted on one hand... In this war between gods and demons, there were only two legions in total. For this reason, Marshal Verlaine was

There was a lot of ridicule.

At this time, the adjutant came over and asked: "Sir, the enemy is building defenses! Do we want to interfere?"

"Let them repair it." Longria said calmly: "The combat plan does not require us to take the initiative."

"But..." the adjutant said: "After their defense is complete, it will be very difficult for us to attack."

"It's enough for us to just do our job." Longria said calmly: "As for the attack - that is a matter for the follow-up troops. Let their commanders worry about this."

Indeed, the military's battle plan only allows him to patrol the Camp section of the dividing line between gods and demons. If an enemy is discovered, he only needs to follow closely and wait for reinforcements to prevent the enemy from running away - Major General Longria is not prepared to do anything else.

To avoid making any mistakes and being arrested and hanged by the military.

As a result, both sides stood in formation and faced off. Whether it was the demon coalition on horseback or the "Phantom Legion" spearmen standing under the earth city, they remained silent... Except for the occasional wind blowing, the open field was filled with darkness.

Only the monotonous sound of piling on the city wall can be heard.

An hour later, the follow-up troops of the Demon Alliance arrived.

Here comes the 27th Legion of the Demonic Alliance. This is a special unit. Although the soldiers of the entire legion are equipped with war horses, they are not cavalry. They are better at riding horses to the battlefield and then dismounting.

Infantry tactics attack... because they are from the wealthy Bruck Empire and are composed of two elite fighter groups.

"Go and tell their commander that we can continue to be on guard for another three hours." Longria said to the herald: "They can take a rest."

"Sir, why do we have to stand for three more hours?" the adjutant asked puzzledly: "The people in the 27th Legion are not good birds. They even tried to steal the credit from us last time."

"You don't know this. Our frontline commander follows the 28th Army Corps, and it only takes less than three hours for the 28th Army Corps to get here." Longria said: "As soon as the commander arrives,

Naturally, I want to give the enemy a showdown... He won't let the light cavalry who have been standing there all day do this, right?"

"I understand!" The adjutant suddenly realized: "The guys who have rested will take the lead!"

"You have to remember that fighting is not a simple matter." Longlia shook his head habitually: "It's not just the enemy that needs to be dealt with... it should be everyone except yourself."

After the commanders of the two legions communicated with each other, the soldiers of the 27th legion dismounted and rested, and some soldiers erected a fence six miles away from Tucheng and began to camp.

The sound of piling coming from the city wall became more intensive...

Foxburg, the capital of Brooke, is where the headquarters of the Demon Alliance Army is located.

"Report!" A colonel rushed into the Intelligence Department, waving the information in his hand frantically: "Major General! Major General Swice Hepburn! The Phantom Legion has been captured by us!"

"Inform the other officers and go to Marshal Verlaine immediately!" Swice threw away the file in his hand, snatched the information from the colonel's hand, and ran towards Marshal Verlaine's room like a gust of wind.

The senior commanders of the military department have never tried to gather in one place in such a short period of time. When Major General Swiss was halfway through his report to Marshal Verlaine, the heads of the military department were already crowded with Verlaine.

In the marshal's room, for a time, gold stars shone in the marshal's room—Major General Swice had the lowest rank among them.

"...The Phantom Legion has been driven out of Camp by Gironde, and they were followed by the 26th Legion when they retreated." Siwes pointed to the map spread out on the table: "The 26th Legion is the coalition army.

There is no reason why the light cavalry regiment, which is the fastest moving in the army, should be lost! Behind them are the 27th Army and the 28th Army! These three legions belong to the second theater, so there is no problem in cooperating. In addition, the following

The five slave legions that arrived...the enemy army is already in a dead end, and with 350,000 against 60,000, we are already guaranteed victory!"

"I have never been happy during this period of time. Even when the Divine Alliance admitted defeat and signed the agreement, I didn't have any sense of accomplishment... For me, only the complete annihilation of the Phantom Legion is something worthy of happiness!
To be continued...
