"Gather! Gather!" A demonic officer riding an Earth Dragon passed through the military camp and loudly shouted the command to assemble.
All the soldiers were dressed neatly, and they gathered in the barracks and formed a neat formation.
The dull drums of war were beating one after another, and all the military camps of the demon servant army began to become noisy.
Countless soldiers gathered together carrying spears and shields. The veterans calmly arranged their armor, and the recruits nervously waited for the officers' orders.
Just now, all the front-line combat troops of the Airanhill Empire received orders, and they must arrive at the designated place at the designated time.
Some troops have even received orders to attack, and they have begun to organize their weapons and ammunition and prepare for the upcoming battle.
"Is this about to attack again?" A demon recruit who had just found his position, carrying a suitcase, armor, shield and spear asked his comrades around him nervously.
"After eating so much good food every day, it's really time to fight." Another demon soldier said firmly.
In the eyes of these demons, their previous lives were simply too comfortable. Apart from training every day, all they had to do was eat all kinds of delicious food and enjoy a peaceful life.
They had never imagined that they could eat warm food every day, as well as hot soup and a variety of breads to choose from.
Even after training, they had chocolate candies to enjoy, something they had never seen before.
Although they didn't know that these cocoa butter substitutes mixed with various things were not actually chocolate, they were still very satisfied.
In fact, they are very satisfied if they can have well-fitting armor and have enough to eat every day.
That's why they are willing to fight for the Elanthir Empire, and that's why they are willing to serve a human emperor...
"I heard that we are going to fight against Vaddings this time..." A demon soldier showed off his extensive knowledge.
In fact, it can be seen from his body that these demons are almost as small as humans. They are also very gossipy and willing to talk about hearsay things.
"Fighting that far? How many battles will we have to fight along the way..." Upon hearing this Vaddings, a demon soldier immediately felt sad.
The straight-line distance from Waddings to where they started is about 500 kilometers, but because of the rugged mountain roads, it is estimated that it would take about 1,000 kilometers to get there.
"How do I know? I guess some of them were beaten. Look at the places where humans asked us to attack a month ago. Which one is easy to attack?" A demon veteran complained reluctantly.
Marching in the wild in such cold weather, even with excellent logistical support like humans, is not a comfortable thing.
If you leave it in spring, at least during the march, it will be more comfortable. The climate will be more comfortable, and you will not suffer from war.
"If you ask me, they are just consuming us demons on purpose..." A demon recruit complained bitterly.
However, his words were immediately interrupted by a demon: "So what? I didn't listen to the instructor. It's really a punishment for us and a test for us! Only the most loyal warriors can be saved."
After all, among the demonic servants of the Elanthir Empire, the idea of Long Live the Elanthir Empire is still very popular.
The vast majority of demons are very grateful, and they don't dare to have any thoughts of resistance. Therefore, there is no market for this kind of complaint, and only occasionally recruits will mention it.
"Have you been redeemed?" The recruit was still a little unwilling to restrain himself and asked directly.
Several demon veterans around him were no longer willing to talk to him. One person was somewhat patient and asked, "Didn't you hear that someone has accumulated enough military merit and been promoted?"
The recruit was still reluctant: "Have you seen it? It's all heard, everyone has heard..."
"Shut up! The officer is here!" The veteran behind him sneered and reminded everyone.
Everyone then closed their mouths knowingly, but the officer who was about to come seemed to be attracted by something. At the front of the team, he squinted and raised his head, looking at the sky in the distance.
.
Some curious soldiers turned around and then froze there, as if they had seen something remarkable.
Then, more demon soldiers turned back, and more demon soldiers forgot their original purpose of just taking a glance.
Their eyes followed something slowly moving, until almost all the demons turned around and followed the thing in the sky to move their eyes.
When the recruit who had been complaining just now realized something and turned around, he realized why everyone looked like they had seen a ghost.
He saw the B-17 bombers of the Airlands Air Force flying past his camp one after another. At this time, he also heard the undetectable roar of the engines.
After two days of preparation, Eilandhill's winter offensive kicked off its grand prelude.
Originally, it took a lot of time to mobilize troops and gather supplies, but because the supplies prepared by the Airanhill Empire were so sufficient, they could attack any point at any time on the wide offensive front.
A huge blow.
In front of him was the scene of all the bombers from the northern part of the Airanthil Expeditionary Force conducting their first assault bombing on all the frontline targets held by the demons before the battle began.
More than 700 B-17 bombers and 200 B-52 bombers formed together, their engines roaring and they crossed the actual control line between the two sides.
This spectacular scene made the soldiers of the Demon Servant Army who saw all this with their own eyes so shocked that they could not even speak.
It was also the first time for most of them to see the power of human beings that was so powerful that all opponents trembled. It was a power that overcame all others, like the power of gods.
At this moment, the demons only have the feeling of kneeling down and worshiping. They do not have the courage to face such power, because such coveted power is their belief.
Yes, the belief they once had. They once believed in the origin of magic, believed in powerful power, believed that they were omnipotent, and believed that they were invincible.
But when they really face the power, they realize how insignificant they are in the face of absolute power.
Those demons who have witnessed atomic bomb explosions and survived by chance know the horror of that power.
For those who don’t understand science or the horror of science, that is the wrath of God, and that is the weapon God left in the world!
"Not convinced? Then you can give it a try...experience it for yourself..." A demon used his elbow to push the demon recruit next to him, who was looking up at hundreds of planes flying over the sky, and said sarcastically with a sneer.
.
The demons around came to their senses and sneered. Let's try it! Face such power! Win the battle, and then come back to talk about other things!
What not even the most elite demon troops can do! What not even the powerful source of magic can do! Go ahead and try it, idiot!
Think about it, how desperate those demons who are still fighting for the origin of magic are! What kind of mood should they be feeling at this moment?
…
The thick city walls were covered with thick white snow, and the weather was already extremely cold. The demon soldiers stationed in the castle could only rely on burning wood to stay warm.
Even if you are burning wood, you must be careful not to ignite too many things. Because the smoke will attract violent shelling!
The bombardment of Elanthir! Those damn exploding shells that can penetrate the magic defense barrier will fall down as if they are free and will turn the entire castle into hell!
Look at this place now! Except for the demon soldiers hiding everywhere, it is no different from the ruins.
There are craters everywhere, and collapsed buildings. There are corpses everywhere, and there is white snow covering the corpses everywhere.
Broken and collapsed city walls and weak wooden piles are the defenses that the demon defenders can rely on! They have been holding on here for more than 30 days, and the reason for them to persist is simply that the enemy did not attack!
The humans on the opposite side and the demons who had taken refuge with humans did not take the initiative to attack, so they could barely survive the winter here.
If they retreat to the wilderness, the environment will be even worse, and more people will freeze to death. So reluctantly persisting here is their only way to survive the winter.
Compared with the abundant supplies of humans, they had almost nothing. No logistical supplies, no food, no supplementary weapons... Even arrows were pitiful.
A demon soldier couldn't bear the cold anymore. He stood up and shook off the frost on his body, walking back and forth in the hope of warming up his body.
He took two steps back and forth and saw that the sky in the west seemed to be completely covered by dark clouds.
He frowned, and his ugly face was covered with dry wrinkles. He looked carefully and found out that those terrible dark clouds were not real dark clouds, but enemy aircraft!
"Enemy attack!" He shouted loudly, his voice full of fear and despair. After hearing his shout, many demons struggled to sit up. They lay on the crenellations of the broken city wall, looking at those
The human aircraft in the distance is getting closer and closer.
Just as they were looking at the fleet of aircraft in the distance, the sound of huge engines suddenly approached, and two A-10 attack planes flew past their castle at low altitude, shaking the city walls so much that they seemed to tremble.
The next second, two black dots fell from the wings of the A-10, and two balls of fire shot up into the sky inside the castle.
