Pass 543

The anxious General Saffiral was sitting in his headquarters, because he had not been on the front line to fight the enemy directly for a long time, as a great mage, he was now slightly blessed.

Although he can still wear his previous armor, everyone can see that this armor is no longer so suitable for him.

Staring at the battle map in front of him, General Saffiral was accustomed to the gift from Iran Hill. This map was drawn by Alan Hill, and all the terrain is accurately marked, almost exactly right.

This is very scary, in the old age of magic, it would have been unthinkable to have such a detailed map. All commanders can only send scouts frequently to get information about the terrain around them.

Gathering this information in one's own head and then directing troops to fight on this terrain is a skill that a senior commander must learn.

But now, this skill seems to be less important, because a huge map is just in front of everyone's eyes, and it can be clearly arranged how it needs to be arranged, and there is no need to compare it with any effort at all.

"The demons have put a large number of demon dogs in front of them, and our 1st Army Group is stuck in place...... If we can't reach the Volan Pass, then our line is in danger. One of the generals spoke in a low tone, pointing to an important defensive node marked on the map, and said to a gloomy Saphilar.

The general, who had never had a good impression of Ellan Hill, was now in a very heavy mood, because the demon's counterattack had caused many of his previous decisions to be seriously wrong.

As an opposition within Griken, Sapphirar has always been somewhat wary of Iran Hill. In his opinion, the presence of other people's troops on Grecken's territory is an irritating thing.

So he tried his best to squeeze out the 9th Army Group that Alan Hill had placed on the Griken front, and squeezed this force to the second line to rest.

Because the demon army had been defeated at that time, and the main demon force advancing east had also been annihilated by nuclear bombs, the joy of victory was overflowing from top to bottom of Grecken, and the number of people who supported General Saffiral increased.

Everyone felt that the 9th Army of Iran Hill should be placed in the second-line defensive position first, and then find a reason to send away this great god that was difficult to invite and send away, so that the complete sovereignty of Grican could be restored.

So, in order to take care of the overall situation, General Alfred, who took over the command of the Imperial Concubine Capet Luna and temporarily commanded the 9th Army Group, ordered the troops to retreat and stationed on the front line of Alain to rest.

The Grecan oppositionists, having achieved their goal, began to find a way to get the 9th Army to roll into the territory of the Eternal Empire......

As a result, this proposal was vetoed by Greken's Longsard Lefasheng, so the 9th Army Group is still stationed in Aran today, and it can also ensure the security of the northern front of Griken.

It's just that now, the demons on the safe northern front did not attack, on the contrary, the demon troops concentrated their superior forces and pinched the central cluster of Griken, that is, the soft persimmon composed of the Magister, the Dragon Knight, and the giant horse cavalry!

The Volan Pass is a relatively important defensive position guarded by the Magic Legion. If the pass is broken through by demonic forces, then a huge battle advantage will be gained either by attacking Alan to the north and striking at the flank of the 9th Army Group, or by detouring south and attacking the flank of the 1st Army of Grecan.

"Order the 1st Legion to go up and reinforce! Be sure to thwart the demon's attack! In the end, Saffiral made his own judgment and pressed the most elite troops in his hands to reduce the combat pressure on the front.

The 1st Legion is the main force of Griken's mages, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong. With dragon knights and a large number of mages, this force was the absolute workhorse of Grecken's army until he formed the Iran Hill Army.

Even now, Grecon has the 1st and 2nd Iran Hill armies, and the 1st Army is still the main force, receiving the first level of logistics supplies and salaries.

……

At the Voran Pass, the tall walls had already collapsed, and the crumbling rubble scattered on both sides of the walls, making these originally strong fortifications look like a mound.

The fortifications were destroyed during the last demon invasion, and after being recaptured from the demon forces, they have not been able to return to their original level, although they have been repaired.

Only part of the original tall wall remains, and the rest is a makeshift breastwork built with stone bars and sandbags.

Standing behind these fortifications were the traditional infantry of Griken, armed with huge shields and spears burning with magical flames, fighting against the demons of the ocean.

"The first platoon of soldiers retreats! Replenish Magical Energy Liquid! The second row of fighters stepped forward! Raise your shield! One of the commanders took the sword in his hand, pointed forward, and loudly ordered the soldiers in front of him to rotate.

Above the crowded phalanx, a heavy magical defensive barrier blocked some flying fireball magic, and in the gap in the shield wall in front of them, spears were stabbed out one after another, stabbing the demon soldiers who rushed to the front to the stomach.

From time to time, a soldier would fall with an arrow, and these black, demonic bows and arrows with demonic poison would occasionally stab the gaps in the armor, and the soldier with the arrow would fall in response, and then be replaced by the soldier behind him.

Farther away, a massive demon force was trying to break through the Greken soldiers who had no walls to protect them, and these Greken soldiers were still very stubborn in the face of enemies who were three times their size.

Countless magic attacks the giant warriors of these demonic forces. Fireballs or lightning bolts struck their targets, striking, screaming the house-like beasts.

A giant dragon tore apart a struggling demonic bat, then spewed a huge dragon flame at the demonic troops beneath its feet.

Under the control of the dragon knight, it surged through the phalanx of demon troops, and the surging dragon flames also engulfed all the demons in a straight line as it swooped.

"Ahh The armor on the demon that was ignited by the dragon flame melted, and the flesh and blood inside the armor instantly turned black. The demons screamed and struggled in the flames, and in just a few seconds, they were scorched into char and shattered into flames.

While the dragon was slaughtering the demon troops, the demon forces were constantly compressing the human defenses.

On top of the massive walls, a demon climbed the top of the city, and before he could wave his weapon, he was knocked down by an oncoming spear.

He screamed and fell back along with the ladder under his feet, smashing into the demon's phalanx, bringing another scream.

The soldiers on the walls of the city immediately took two steps back as soon as they overturned the ladder, and the archers behind them continued to step forward, tightening their bowstrings at the dense demons beneath the city.

"Put!" Behind the battlement, the visor-armored Commander Grecan shouted. With his shout, all the archers in the city released their palms of their bowstrings almost at the same time.

"Boom!" A bowstring vibrated and a row of bows and arrows swooped into the phalanx of demon troops.

Some of the demons were holding shields, but many more were defenseless. They were only wearing armor, but the armor couldn't stop the magic arrows fired by the Griken soldiers.

So, the moment these bows and arrows crashed into the crowd, a large number of demonic troops fell. However, the demons who followed immediately filled the place of their companions, and behind them another phalanx of demons was crowding forward.

"Where's the reinforcements? Haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? The officer standing at the head of the city, looking at the tired appearance of his men, loudly rebuked another officer in the distance.

The officer, who was helping a soldier who had been hit by a demonic bow and arrow, turned around covered in blood and replied loudly, "The news of the request for reinforcements was sent out an hour ago!" ”

Just as he turned around to shout, a dragon knight in the distance was directly hit by the fireball technique and fell behind the phalanx of the demon troops.

Soon the place where it fell was surrounded by demons, and just a few seconds later, the dragon knight who had insisted on fighting until the last moment was drowned in the sea of people of the demon army.

"Fireball!" On the other side of the low breastwork, after a volley of magical attacks from the human troops, the demon forces stepped on the corpse of their burning companion and rushed up again. Then the human mage unleashed a new line of fireballs, forcing the demons back from the breastwork.

The two sides went back and forth like this, and the troops on the human side, which had run out of ammunition and food, began to increase little by little.

"Let the giant horse cavalry countercharge! It's too late. The leading officer shouted hysterically.

"But...... They rush in and probably won't come back! An officer slashed down the demon in front of him and replied in a wailing voice.

"It's an order! For Griken! The officer at the head insisted on his orders regardless of it.

"Yes! Sir! The officer who heard the order took two steps back, looked at the soldiers who were fighting bloody battles on the position, and gritted his teeth: "Let the giant horse cavalry charge back!" Instantly! Right away! ”

Moments later, a heavy cavalry appeared on the battlefield, wielding their spears and clamping their horse's belly in the face of the ocean-like demonic forces.

"Drive! Drive! The knights buckled their visors, shouted loudly, flattened their spears, and walked slowly toward the black sea.

"Long live the Grecken!" At the moment when they ran quickly, all the cavalry shouted together, shaking the heavens and the earth.
