"Shield!" Accompanied by the deep shouts of the officers of the Iran Hill Empire, the demon soldiers wearing neat armor raised the shields in their hands.
Amid the rumbling drums and the rumbling sounds of cannons, these demon soldiers walked slowly towards a castle in the distance with fine steps.
Although these demons are not as fierce and unstoppable as the demons who invaded the magic world before, their helmets are bright and armor, and at least they still look like some elite troops.
However, the uneven queues betrayed them. The troops did not undergo any decent training at all. They were not qualified soldiers at all, but just some pretty guys.
However, the Iran Hill military does not recommend using these temporary pieces of goods, nor do they feel sorry for the cheap, worthless armor stamped out.
In the eyes of the senior officers of the Iran Hill Empire, these armor distributed to the demon troops were at best the same level as the steel helmets they used in earlier years, and were basically something that could be replenished at any time.
"Stay!" Outside the range of the bow and arrow of the opposite demon troops, the commanders of the Iranhill Empire stopped their progress. They stood there and gave command to those accompanying the demon troops to continue their attacks.
Demon commanders.
These low-level demon commanders are all low-level demons who are temporarily asked to come, or some middle- and lower-level demon officers. They are also fighting for humans for the first time, so they seem a little helpless and busy.
"Stabilize the formation! Raise the magic defense barrier!" After entering the opponent's range, the attacks of both sides began to become bloody.
The long-range resource artillery of Iran Hill did not stop. They were still roaring and pouring dense ammunition into the castle in the distance.
The demon defenders in the distance also began to fight back, and they used raindrops to shoot bows and arrows to welcome the enemies close to them.
"Overhead! Bows and arrows are coming! Raise shield! Raise shield!" A demon servant officer who drew his sword saw the oncoming rain of arrows and immediately shouted loudly in his hoarse voice.
With his shouts, in the not-to-order square, the nervous demon soldiers raised their shields over their heads.
The steel-skinned shield covered the entire infantry phalanx, like layered fish scales. The next second, countless magical arrows fell down and hit the magic defense barrier above the shield.
The crackling sound made the soldiers of the demon servants in the magic defense barrier even more nervous. Most of them were a group of civilians, but they had never experienced such a terrible formation.
To be honest, they feel at ease when they bully the weak and eat something like that, but they are still too "young" to let them face the real battle formation.
"Crack..." As the bow and arrow fell more and more, the magic defense barrier could not hold on, and a clear crack appeared. Then, the crack began to spread, and eventually the entire defense barrier was broken.
"Buzz..." A bow and arrow fell from the sky, through the gap between the shields, and suddenly penetrated the soil under the feet of a servant army. The feathers at the tail of the arrow shaft were still trembling.
"Swoosh..." Another feather arrow passed through the gap in the shield and directly penetrated the shoulders of a demon servant soldier.
The soldier screamed and fell down on his back. Several feather arrows flew into the exposed head immediately. He was shot into a hedgehog by the feather arrows, and the soldiers around him also fell one after another because they lost the protection from the side.
Because the queue was not pulled neatly and too many gaps and flaws were revealed, the rain of arrows fell, and hundreds of soldiers from the demon servants fell in the black pool of blood, and hundreds of wounded people were lying in the lieutenant.
Screams and wails on the ground.
"Stay! Stay!" A demon officer dispersed the magic defense barrier above his head, held up his long sword and loudly reminded his soldiers to stabilize their positions.
To be honest, the war scene he faced at this time was the war scene he was familiar with. So at this moment, he seemed more skilled and more calm.
He was even a little moved because his familiar war pattern returned to him. This feeling is really missing, just like seeing an old friend who has been seeing him for many years.
Before this, he even thought he would never see such a picture again. When fighting against humans, everything he had to face was much crueler than now.
"Continue to move forward! Stay in the formation!" In the distance, there were other demon officers shouting loudly.
Their extraordinary courage, and their calmness and high quality when facing the familiar war, even made the officers of Ailan Hill who were watching the battle from afar admired.
"It's good to have such a level in just 15 days of training." An Iran Hill officer held a telescope and looked at the somewhat messy army formation of demon servants in the distance. I don't know if it was sarcasm or praise.
Said.
"I think it may be better to modify the training manual and train for a month before letting them on the battlefield." Another staff officer analyzed on his own.
"They don't need to perform well... They only need to be loyal and willing to die for His Majesty the Emperor." The officer who was still holding a telescope said coldly.
"We should train for at least 25 days... Otherwise, the death rate will remain high, and it will not be easy to recruit these demons to join the army in the future." The staff officer considered it for a long time and suggested.
Putting down the telescope, the general of Ailan Hill thought for a few seconds and agreed with the staff officer's suggestion: "You are right... After all, they are willing to atone for their sins, so we should give them a chance... Just one month
!The next batch of demon servants will train for one month, and then see the effect!”
In the distance, the sound of war drums and cannons still did not stop. On the battlefield where smoke was scattered everywhere, the black Earl Hill Empire eagle flag fluttered lightly in the wind...
The square formations that were advancing little by little were still uneven. Every time the rain of arrows hit, many soldiers would scream and fall down. However, these square formations were still squirming forward, approaching the enemy little by little.
The castle that is guarded.
No matter what, they have to take down this castle, which is a test for them. Only those who survive are eligible to enjoy the lunch prepared for them by the Iran Hill Empire.
