"I'm not worried at all that these demons will defect or collapse... I'm even a little bit expecting that they will do this." Looking at the demon phalanx that is constantly attacking in the distance, another person on another high ground is also watching this.
Another Airan Hill officer who was fighting said to the adjutant next to him.
"It's a pity that they have no intention of escaping." The adjutant glanced coldly at the attacking army of demon servants in the distance and said to his superior.
"Yeah, what a pity." The leading officer nodded slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Who would have thought that the devil's army is so ferocious, but the devil's civilians are so cowardly that they don't even have the courage to escape or break up.
."
"After all, they have to consider the consequences." The adjutant sneered, withdrew his gaze from the phalanx in the distance, looked at his commander and said, "The punishment mechanism is no joke."
"To put it bluntly, those noble generals have a lot of experience in this field." The general, who was a Serris sergeant, smiled disdainfully.
As a general who had been promoted from a junior non-commissioned officer to a major general, he looked down upon those "old officers" who came from noble families.
Within the army of the Airanhir Empire, those who followed His Majesty the Emperor in battles in the early years, and later went to the military academy for tutoring, and then were promoted to senior commanders, were among the most highly regarded factions.
Representatives of this faction include the empire's only marshal, Waggron, as well as Walter, Lester and others.
As for the officers of the aristocratic faction, the representatives are Wilkes, Mathias and others.
Arming demons and forming a demon servant army was proposed by several generals in the old aristocracy. The insurance they set for the demon servant army was that if one demon servant army escaped, three demon captives would be killed.
The original suggestion was to kill two demon captives, but later because someone thought the killing was not harsh enough, it was changed to three.
With such an insurance mechanism, if the surrendered demons want to escape, they will have to weigh whether Ailan Hill is willing to continue to accept the surrender of demons, but it all depends on their performance.
While they were talking, the two sides were already fighting bloody battles on the battlefield. The walls of the castle were blown down by the cannons of the Elanthir Empire, and the soldiers of the Demon Servant Army had already invaded the castle through these gaps.
The two sides fought fiercely at the gap in the city wall. The strong demon soldiers and the demon civilians with well-equipped weapons and equipment fought together, and for a while they were even inseparable.
On the one hand, it was because the main force of the demons had been almost wiped out by Ailan Hill, and the remaining troops were second-rate, and their combat effectiveness was not as strong as before.
On the other hand, these demonic civilians trained by Ailan Hill not only had an advantage in terms of military strength, but also had better weapons, so they relied on these advantages to rush into the castle bit by bit.
Gold and iron clashed, swords hit shields, and shields hit armor. Soldiers from both sides crowded together, using the most primitive method to determine the winner.
A demon soldier chopped down a servant demon soldier with a rusty axe, and then he himself was penetrated by several long swords at the same time.
The long swords forged by the Airansil Empire are so sharp that even in the hands of demon civilians, they can kill battle-hardened demon soldiers in an instant.
Every second, people on both sides fell in a pool of blood. Black blood flowed on the broken city wall, seeping into the gaps between the bricks and stones, and splashing all over people's cheeks.
"Kill!" On the battlefield, the shouts of courage were mixed with the rumbling sound of artillery. The new servants of Ailan Hill proved the value of their existence in the first battle.
"Boom!" On the other side of the gap in the city wall where the two sides were fighting, the artillery fire from the Eilanhir Empire began to shoot into the castle.
One shell after another exploded in the castle, and the demonic defenders who were reinforcing the gap in the city wall fell one after another in the gunfire.
Because the follow-up troops were unable to reinforce in time, the demon defenders blocking the gap in the city wall finally could no longer hold on.
One by one, they were chopped down by the long swords in the hands of the demonic servant soldiers of the Elanthir Empire, and their corpses were piled up like sandbags in the gaps in the city wall.
Finally, as if it was the last straw that broke the camel's back, when several demon commanders of the servant army rushed up the gentle slope made of the ruins of the city wall, the opponent's defense line finally collapsed.
Countless demon servants wearing heavy armor stepped over the corpses of demon soldiers who fell on the ground, held their swords high, and roared into the castle that had been bombarded beyond recognition.
The demon defenders crowded in the castle resisted desperately. At this time, many demon soldiers were horrified to discover that the opponents they faced were actually the same ferocious-looking demons as themselves.
"Why... why do you... betray the great source of magic?" A demon soldier with a long sword stuck in his chest and spitting out black blood asked the soldiers of the demon servant army in front of him in confusion.
No one answered him, because these demon servants trained by Ailan Hill have been emphasizing collective and discipline in the past fifteen days. They rarely speak and raise questions when they have questions.
Use your hands to indicate that you can only open your mouth and make a sound after getting permission.
"For the great origin of magic!" On the other side, a demon defender brandished a long sword and knocked down two servant soldiers who rushed towards him. He frantically rotated the weapon in his hand, relying on his height and strength.
Guarded a corridor.
"Formation! Formation!" Seeing that his own soldiers were unable to break through the opponent's defense line for a while, the demon officer in the servant army behind quickly ordered loudly.
Following his shout, the demon soldiers at the front formed a thick wall with their shields.
Then, from the gaps in the shield, long swords stuck out like spikes on a hedgehog.
They approached the opponent step by step, and when the opponent was unable to retreat, they suddenly thrust out a fatal sword.
The opponent did not sit still and pierced the sword in his hand into the gap in the shield.
It's a pity that the long sword thrust out from the gap in the shield penetrated the body of the demon defender soldier, but the sword thrust into the gap in the shield by the demon defender did not hit anything.
The tall demon defender fell down unwillingly, and then his body, which was still warm, was stepped on.
It was not until lunchtime that the battle in this castle barely ended. The 3,000 Irish demon servants who participated in the attack suffered 900 casualties in the end, and they captured this castle that was blown beyond recognition by artillery shells.
