Hill is an ordinary demon soldier. When he joined the ground forces of the Airan Hill Empire, the Airan Hill Empire had been bathed in the sunshine of peace for three years.
As a demon warrior, he trains hard every day in order to sacrifice his life for the great source of magic when the empire needs him.
To this end, he learned how to use an assault rifle, later changed to an electromagnetic rifle, and finally learned how to use a simple powered mecha.
The reason why it is simple is because the superior powered mechas are given priority to be supplied to the main force, and the demons are not the main force of His Majesty the Emperor.
As a demon soldier, he does not have access to the most advanced weapon systems and can only fight with ordinary weapons that have been replaced.
Although he believed that his loyalty was unquestionable, demons had always been second-class citizens within the empire.
Even the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Nine Nether Sect, which later surrendered, have a slightly higher status than the Demon Clan.
At this moment, he followed his commander Dolenotier to a planet called Higgs 11. He knew that he was about to fight the most ferocious enemy here.
Higgs 11 is a fortified planet, which is a fortress planet that was previously selected and may become a frontline and has built various fortifications.
Many defenses have been built on this planet. Facts have proved that most of these defenses may become food for the enemy, but in fact they are not very useful.
However, as a soldier, being able to stay in a bunker instead of sleeping in the wilderness will actually give you a certain morale bonus.
Hill had never seen the Space Fleet. He arrived at Higgs 11 directly from the transfer station of Higgs 1 through the time and space portal, also known as the Magic Eye.
In his life, he had never seen a spectacular star ring, never seen a Dyson cloud, and never really seen a huge spaceship or interstellar battleship.
Just like many ordinary demons, from the time he can remember, he has been an ordinary slave serving the origin of magic, doing heavy work.
Every night, when he looked up at the stars, he could see a spectacular band of light in the vast space. This band of light stretched across the entire night sky, as dazzling as lights embedded above his head.
I heard people say that it is the space fleet of the Elanthir Empire, where there are countless battleships fighting the enemy.
After tearing open a bag of instant noodles delivered by the puppet robot, Hill supported the alcohol stove and placed his own aluminum lunch box on it.
The water boiled quickly, and he poured the noodles into it, then sprinkled the sauce packets on it, and carefully closed the lid of the lunch box.
He still remembered the days when the demons didn't have enough to eat, so wasting food was an unforgivable sin for him.
Demons are actually very interesting. In an era dominated by the origin of magic, they were ferocious and cunning, which completely matched their title of demons.
But with the advent of peace, the source of magic became Chris, and these once militaristic and terrifying races became almost like yeoman farmers.
Although they still showed a ferocious character many times, in life, they quickly changed their habits and became much friendlier.
Perhaps it was the thousands of years of fighting that caused them to lose too much, so when peace came, they really cherished it extremely.
However, when the Elanshir Empire announced a national mobilization and the war with the Watchers broke out, the number of demons joining the army has always been the first among all races.
There is no way, the population base is just there... Demons are the most populous race in the Elanthir Empire, several times more numerous than humans.
Previously, Chris had only limitedly armed some demon soldiers, and was very cautious when giving them weapons.
However, as the scale of the war gradually got out of control, demon troops also began to move to the front lines in large numbers.
After all, wouldn't it be foolish to leave hundreds of millions of soldiers unarmed and end up losing the war? Moreover, the earlier the demon soldiers are deployed, the better the proportion of demon losses in the war consumption can be guaranteed.
If a war ends and all the people who die are humans, wouldn't the demon population become even larger? From another perspective, how could the demons ask Chris to sacrifice the human population to protect them?
Therefore, arming the demons gradually became an inevitable choice, and Hill was one of the countless demon soldiers who were armed.
Low-level demons such as quadruped apes and demon bats cannot appear on the battlefield with the Watchers, because after these targets are eliminated, they can easily become energy to be devoured by the enemy.
Therefore, like other races, demons can only take the route of elite soldiers on the battlefield. Only humanoid demons, and at least junior magicians, can be selected to become real warriors and serve the empire.
The aroma of instant noodles began to spread. Hill grabbed the folding handle of the lunch box with his hand, held the lunch box in front of him, picked up a fork with his other hand, and began to stir.
Although many human troops no longer think instant noodles are a delicious food, they are still very popular among demon troops.
There is no way, because a large number of demons were actually very poor during the rule of the origin of magic. They preyed on the weak and even devoured their own companions... Well, from this point of view, they were exactly the same as the watchers.
As a demon warrior, Hill actually had no idea what kind of opponent could be so powerful and could compete with the new source of magic.
Although he has never seen the magnificence of the space fleet, he has really seen with his own eyes how huge the demon army led by General Dolenotier is.
It was really an army that covered the sky and could not see the end. The densely packed soldiers walked out of the magic eye in squares and squares. Until he reached the distant horizon, he could still see the army when he looked back.
Come out of the magic eye.
There are A-10 attack aircraft flying in the sky, J-30 fighter jets, Z-30 helicopters, and Y-30 transport aircraft...
Of course, you can also see the swordsman troops in white clothes and snow flying with swords, and the electromagnetic tank troops moving forward along the road.
Hill really doesn't believe that any opponent can defeat such a powerful army. You must know that this is a terrifying army countless times more powerful than the most powerful army of magic origin!
In the trench, there were puppet soldiers carrying boxes of ammunition. Hill, who was already familiar with the types of supplies, could tell that these were packaging boxes for grenades and bullets.
In addition to these, there are wooden boxes dedicated to storing rocket launchers and anti-aircraft missiles in the trenches. There are more similar heavy weapons in the bunker not far away.
"Test communication! Test communication! The nuclear strike has ended, the tactical nuclear strike has ended." Halfway through the meal, the company commander's confirmation communication sounded in the earphones.
Hill pressed the phone, and while chewing instant noodles amidst the sizzling current interference sound, he answered: "You can hear it, but there is strong electromagnetic interference!"
"The nuclear strike has had adverse effects. The enemy has approached our position. Stay alert! Stay alert!" A few seconds later, the company commander's order came again, and the atmosphere on the entire defense line immediately became tense.
"Recall everything in the video, including the appearance of the enemy, the effective area of the attack, and the covert movements during defense..." The squad leader held the electromagnetic rifle and walked past each soldier, reminding everyone loudly.
For the Demons, this is the first time they have arrived at the front line in a reorganized manner to participate in the war, and their performance is crucial to the Demons as a race.
The space fleet commanded by Fan Kefahr has assembled near Higgs 11. They will protect their compatriots in the universe and fight bloody battles with the enemy in the Higgs 11 area.
On the ground, Dolenotier, as an important general of the demon clan, is mobilizing troops to compete with the Watcher ground troops that have landed on Higgs 11.
The nuclear strike had begun more than an hour ago, but the Watchers' landing force did not retreat. On the contrary... they copied and split more troops and launched a ferocious attack.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" Just as Hill licked his lunch box clean and put it into the bag on his back, above his head, the sound of a 300 mm caliber rocket tearing through the air shook the position.
Every soldier on board.
"The enemy is approaching?" A demon soldier next to Hill asked nervously.
"The electronic map shows that they are approaching the front peripheral defense line..." Hill looked at the electronic map and answered.
The defense line where they are stationed is not the most forward position. In front of their defense line, there are two demon infantry divisions' defense areas.
"Buzz...!" Higher in the sky, a J-30 fighter jet fell to the ground dragging a long plume of black smoke, and the air battle had begun.
Countless white smoke trails and black spots intertwined in the sky, and from time to time you could see falling aircraft, exploding in the air and disintegrating, scattered on the distant horizon.
"Boom!" The roar of the 155mm heavy artillery echoed in the sky. The artillery positions joined the ensemble, and the symphony on the battlefield became even noisier.
As time went by, Hill could even feel the ground trembling slightly under his feet. Through the integrated telescope on his visor, he could already see the billowing smoke on the distant horizon.
It seems that the front line of defense cannot be defended for much longer... Hill murmured in his heart. He is a person who has experienced drills. Whenever this situation occurs, it means that the front line of defense has tended to collapse.
Then, he sighed: You know, the troops stationed in the front line of defense have very strong combat effectiveness. In this case, they only lost their position after holding on for less than an hour, which shows how powerful the enemy is.
"Interruption of fire... It seems that the troops in front are about to start retreating." The comrades around him were discussing the battle situation in the distance.
The artillery of the entire army is roaring, firing continuously in the distance. They are covering the friendly forces from contact with the enemy. It seems that the first line of defense has no value in holding on.
Pieces of smoke rose on the horizon, which was a means for the retreating troops to block the enemy's view.
"Release the smoke. It seems they have begun to retreat." When Hill heard his comrades beside him mutter these words, he saw a troop returning to his trench along a depression.
Those were the troops stationed on the first line of defense. It seemed that their losses were not heavy. The battle just now was just to test the strength of the opponent's attack.
However, Hill soon saw the stretchers fixed on the off-road vehicles and some wounded people supporting each other, passing by the trench where he was stationed one after another.
"The enemy is very strong, you have to be careful." A soldier with black blood stains on the outside of his power mecha reminded him as he passed by Hill: "Be careful to hide and keep your body as low as possible."
"Thank you." Seeing the other person walking towards the back without looking back, Hill nodded and said thank you.
However, his voice was drowned in the sound of howling artillery shells. The military artillery roared again, and the distant place that originally belonged to the defense position of the Eilanhir Empire was being turned upside down by the artillery shells at this moment.
"Huh!" Just when Hill was looking at the artillery fire in the distance and imagining the ferocity of the enemy, a ball of black energy rubbed his scalp, crossed the trench where he was, and hit the soil behind him.
Pile on.
"Boom!" The mound was thrown into the air by the explosion, and countless stones and dust fell down, hitting the steel armor above Hill's head, making a crisp sound.
"Damn..." Hill, who was bending down to hide, finally understood what it means to be careful about concealment, and he finally understood what his comrade just reminded him to lower his body as low as possible.
He looked out from the gap in the trench and saw the sweepers all over the mountains and plains, like ants, rushing towards him in layers.
"Boom!" He picked up his electromagnetic rifle and started shooting at the enemy. He could clearly see the enemies running forward in the distance. After his gunshot, they fell one after another.
Because the enemy's formation was so dense, he didn't even need to aim accurately. After the aiming system on the visor provided a rough shooting parameter, he pulled the trigger as a matter of course.
Another magazine was emptied, and the fierce enemies in front of him fell again. However, the distance between the two sides was still getting closer, and the enemy seemed to be right in front of him.
"Boom! Boom!" In the sky, the cluster bombs dispersed submunitions like raindrops, and the entire open area in front of the defense line of the Eilanhir Empire was instantly covered.
Hill felt the airflow blowing through the trench where he was, and the billowing smoke enveloped his vision. The infrared night vision device automatically activated, and the target in the smoke was clearly visible...
