Two days later, the demon army arrived as expected.
Seemingly aware of the 'evolution' of the undead army, the troops dispatched by the devil this time were larger in number than before, and their quality had also gone up a level.
Lemurs are still the main force of the legion - or the most numerous cannon fodder. In addition, a large number of lower-level demons are divided into groups of several to ten, scattered into small teams, mixed in the red sea all over the mountains and plains.
.
'Inferior' is only a relative term among demons. In terms of combat power, a Quasai demon - also known as a little demon, an individual demon with a height of less than half a meter, can easily defeat two people holding mortal iron.
Ordinary people. And with the well-known sheep head and hooves, the Hill Demon, who usually serves as the vanguard of the demon army, can even fight against two to three trained human soldiers.
Yuffie even vaguely saw the existence of Shadow Demon, which is an assassin and lower-level spellcaster among demons, and the most dangerous enemy in the night.
The skin of demons is extremely tough and is no less effective than strong armor. Only weapons that have been strengthened by magic or made of rare cold iron can harm them more easily. Each type of demon has its own unique spellcasting ability.
That doesn't make them qualified wizards, but it's enough to cause a lot of trouble to any opponent.
The only good news is that the free teleportation ability possessed by most of the Tanar'ri is no longer effective due to the inability to connect to the star realm - otherwise, their difficulty will be even higher.
Located in front of them, the undead army was led by nine undead guards, slowly facing the spreading demon army.
The corpses collected previously also joined their ranks, making this legion even larger than the last time. Most of the undead have no minds, so they naturally will not be afraid or flinch. They slowly raise the weapons in their hands, or just themselves
claws or sharp horns in an attacking posture.
The girl stood on the dilapidated city wall, flanked by her companions and the lich Moriels. This section of the neglected city wall was covered with moss and a few creeping plants, vaguely giving her the feeling of traveling to ancient times.
A sense of ruins - in fact, it may be almost the same. Lily seemed to like this scene very much. She watched the formations of the two sides with interest, treating it as an interesting game.
"Now, who do you think will win?" The female mercenary glanced at Yuffie and asked her.
Yuffie raised her head and glanced at the setting sun, trying not to think about how the sunlight came in here - this kind of question can be left until after leaving the mystery lock. She lowered her gaze and stared at the two people who were about to start fighting.
Army forward.
"We have made all preparations, and now it is just time to accept the results." She said calmly, "The enemy may send assassins, and our safety depends on you, Lily, and Lin."
"Don't worry?" the female mercenary sniffed, "As long as they dare to get close, we can pull them all out!"
"Forget about the Quasai Demon, the Shadow Demon has no taste." Lin deftly dismantled Lily's platform, igniting a ball of scorching light in her palm, letting it float into the air, shining on everyone like a small sun, "Those
Guys are indifferent to light, so you don’t have to worry.”
The battle begins.
The lower-level demons don’t know what tactics are, or in other words, their best tactic is to use endless numbers to drown all enemies blocking the front. The dark red waves hit the simple positions built by the undead head-on, and there are constantly people on the front line.
The lemures fell down and turned into worthless rotten flesh. Their kind stepped over the pieces of flesh without mercy and continued to crawl forward.
Morrills looked into the distance quietly, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers with dry knuckles.
The army of the undead began to change. At first, they still followed rigid instructions to attack and defend; before long, their actions became more flexible, and they began to know how to advance and retreat on their own, cover friendly forces in the same unit, target the enemy's weaknesses, and even attack several people.
Join forces to battle powerful opponents.
The legions also no longer completely rely on the command of the undead knights and Moriels. They are divided into hundreds of squadrons, and the faster undead beasts outflank the demon legion's flanks or divide them; they are rough-skinned and thick-flesh.
The zombies intercepted the enemy's offensive from the front; the more fragile and more flexible skeleton squadrons joined together to gradually eat away at the enemy's combat power.
Yuffie watched all this from the city wall, and this was exactly what she imagined. The undead have no self-awareness, but retain the ability to process external information and obey instructions. As long as they are given a small amount of logical judgment and an initial instruction, they can
It can continuously adjust and optimize its own action mode according to the status of the scene.
The undead in each squadron are connected by magic into a network and exist as an independent whole. Each squadron has a 'captain' who calculates the overall action plan and then communicates it to all individuals in the squadron. Even if it is designated
When an individual dies, according to the rules that have been established, another individual will immediately take his place until the last member of the squadron falls.
This is not something too new. In the magic structure, the part about puppet making has existed for hundreds of years. A humanoid with a nearly complete mind like Alphonse is a miracle that far exceeds Yuffie's ability.
.
However, applying simple puppet logic to thousands of targets will naturally produce stunning effects.
The scenery in the distance suddenly blurred for a moment, and then returned to normal. Yuffie noticed the change at that moment, felt a little relieved, and sighed unnoticed.
If someone could capture the actions of all the undead, they would find that almost every undead acted differently at the same moment. In the real world, this is a normal sight; however, in the current situation,
But it is something that is "not allowed".
"They're coming." Lily turned around suddenly, interrupting her thoughts. She waved her arm, and the sharp obsidian giant sword passed by - with a hoarse scream and a crisp sound like cracking silk, several
The little devil that was cut in half flapped its only one wing and fell to the ground feebly.
The sky suddenly became dark. The light ignited by Lin flickered and went out silently. Then night fell instantly, and all the light disappeared.
That is the specialty of shadow demons. Even if darkness does not exist, they can create it by themselves. However, the light ignited by Lin forced them to use one more spell, which was the best warning. Yuffie raised her right hand across her chest,
He quickly recited a familiar mantra in his mind.
White flames extended from the palm of her hand, barely driving away the surrounding darkness. With the dim lighting, she saw several dark lines cutting through the air, quickly extending towards her and Morrills' chests.
However, more light was ignited immediately. Alphonse, Lin, Moriels and Yudina simultaneously cast spells to create light. The bright light made the girl unable to open her eyes for a while. She heard two sounds
The shrill screams trembled away, and soon disappeared.
"Thankfully they escaped quickly." Lin muttered with some dissatisfaction, "I also want to catch one and make it a specimen."
"Fortunately, you guys reacted." The female mercenary patted her chest, seemingly unwilling to be able to help just now. "In short, they shouldn't dare to come again?"
"Don't come again!" Bell sat down on the ground, "I hate guys like this who don't fight head-on! What kind of man is he who is sneaky?"
Everyone laughed. Yuffie took a breath and turned her attention to the distance again.
