Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Reconquest of Kurast (2)

On the eve of the Parliamentary Guard's reconquest, Okasso handed over the battle plan and information from the rainforest to Hodge, the commander of the Demon Slayer Legion, who was driving the wolf's demon legion to the middle of the rainforest.

Since defeating the Fox Wolves in the ruins of Kurep, the Demon Slayer Legion has marched towards the battlefield of Kurast Harbor under the leadership of Hodge.

Mephisto, who was almost mad by the wolf's defeat, ordered the fox wolf to stop the demon slayer army outside the Kurast harbor at all costs.

Forced to do so, the fox wolf had no choice but to forcibly change his retreat plan, dividing the remaining remnants of his army into countless small "guerrilla forces", allowing them to use the complex terrain of the rainforest to constantly harass the demon slayer army and slow down their march.

He himself wandered around the Demon Slayer Legion with three Legendary Cultivators, looking for an opportunity to raid General Hodge's headquarters.

I have to say that the fox wolf is indeed worthy of being an excellent and experienced legion commander, and his plan did create a lot of trouble for the professionals of the Demon Slayer Legion at the beginning, and even forced Hodge to completely shrink his troops and slowly advance in the rainforest in a fairly dense formation.

The three legendary cultivators led by the fox wolf raided and released cold arrows from time to time caused a lot of losses to the demon slayer legion that had not yet fully adapted to the rainforest battle, and in just about a day, at least three hundred elite professional legion soldiers fell in this rainforest.

Hodge was genuinely annoyed by the constant attacks of the Demon Legion, and he quickly figured out a way to deal with the guerrilla tactics of the Evil Pact.

General Hodge selected the Legion's high-ranking Assassins and had them disperse into small squads to set traps in the surrounding woods as the Legion's large forces marched, and then asked the legendary Amazon Sarah and her people to take advantage of their rainforest skills to set up decoys and counter-traps in the jungle.

As a result, when the Harassment Squad of the Evil Pact came to play the trick of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance", many of the squads fell headlong into the trap set by the Assassins of the Demon Slayer Legion and the Amazons of the Howorth Islands, and never came out again.

Hodge's counter-plan once again severed the foxwolf's outstretched hand, and this time the loss made the already understaffed foxwolf even more stretched, and he had to change his plan, regrouping the "guerrillas" with heavy losses, and began to set all kinds of traps in the path of the demon slayer army.

These traps range from Assassin skill traps to hunter traps made from a variety of jungle materials.

Ordinary hunter traps don't do much for professionals, but when a giant tree the size of three people hugging together is dangling from the vines and crashing into you, even high-level professionals have to abide by the most basic laws of physics......

These small traps and obstacles did cause a lot of trouble for the Demon Slayer Legion, especially when the fox wolf deliberately summoned a large number of monster projections in the rainforest to hinder their progress.

In fact, frankly speaking, the number of demon clones under the fox wolf's current command is still much more than that of the professionals of the Demon Slayer Legion, because the base is large, so even if Kurip was chased and killed by the Demon Slayer Army when he was defeated, he still maintained an absolute advantage over the Demon Slayer Army in terms of numbers.

However, the problem is that although the demon clones have a certain amount of intelligence, they are still a rabble if no one is in command, and the Evil Contractors under the fox wolf have been almost killed by the raid of Sarah, the Storm Queen, in the ruins of Kurip, and the remaining Evil Contractors in their hands are simply not enough to command such a large number of demon clones.

Therefore, the fox wolf, who was forced to have no choice, finally had to block those sheep-headed demons and dwarfs and other demons in front of the demon slayer legion, purely relying on numerical superiority to create obstacles for the demon slayer legion.

It has to be said that the effect of using demon clones to carry out delaying tasks is amazing, these clones are much smarter than projections, they know the most basic mutual cooperation and tactical linkage, so even though the soldiers of the Demon Slayer Legion have a lot of experience in dealing with these guys, they still managed to delay a lot of time.

"General Hodge, the pace of our march can be said to be as slow as a turtle, and it is impossible for us to catch up with the reconquest of the seaport of Kurast if we continue like this."

In the tent, Sarah, the queen of the storm, said in a flat tone to Commander Hodge, who was standing in front of the battle map and pondering.

On the map in front of him, several crimson arrows had begun to converge towards the seaport of Kurast, and the location of the Demon Slayer Legion was still a long way from the battlefield.

Hodge thought for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"If you can't catch up, you won't be able to catch up, and I'm sure Okasso will succeed in taking the port of Curast even without my help.

Since the fox wolf guy is unwilling to let us go to the harbor, he shouldn't have much defense on Cui Vanke's side, right?

Since there is no meat to eat on the frontal battlefield, why don't we just go and block the reinforcements from hell? ”

He said with a smile.

"The order goes down, the whole army changes the direction of the march, and the destination changes from the seaport of Kurast to Trivank!"

"Yes!"

A herald shouted yes and immediately rushed out of the tent to deliver the order.

"Is it okay to go directly to Cui Vanke?" Adjutant Jean asked with some doubts on the side.

"Don't worry, I know Okaso, although that barbarian seems to be reckless on the surface, once a war starts, his war instincts are not covered, and the Parliamentary Guard Legion is not fighting alone, and our 'allies' are also very strong!"

Hodge smiled and shook his head, a look of expectation in his eyes.

Under Hodge's orders, the Demon Slayer Legion began to change direction, and they directly abandoned their original destination and began to march in the direction where Travank was.

In a makeshift camp deep in the jungle, the Demon Legion's commander, Foxwolf, was the first to hear the news of Hodge's change of march.

"What do they want to do? If you go in this direction, will you be Cui Vanke? Do they want to attack Trivank directly? ”

Dressed in blue robes, the legendary mage Evil Pact looked at the tactical map in front of him in confusion, the arrow in the direction of the Demon Slayer Legion had just been modified - from straight south to southeast.

"Cui Vanke? Of course he Hodge wants to, but he also needs to have that tooth to go?

Just his little people, no logistics, no supplies to fight Cui Vanke? He's not afraid of choking to death?

I'm afraid this guy is thinking that he can't catch a big fish, so he wants to touch the idea of shrimp to eat, and he wants to intercept the reinforcements sent by Cui Vake to the Kurast seaport! ”

A strange expression appeared on the face of the fox wolf under the green hood.

"So what do we do? Do you continue to chase and intercept them? ”

"Intercept them? Why? Scold... Since he wants to intercept Trivank's reinforcements, let him go, why don't we do something bigger? ”

"Huh? What's the big deal? The legendary evil deeds looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of this guy in front of them.

"Our defeat at the Battle of Kurip was yesterday, and even if Hodge had sent a letter to the Legion of the Parliamentary Guard immediately after his victory, they would have moved a little too fast.

The Kurast harbor gave me a warning of their imminent attack this morning, and if the Kurast survivors were not very close to the harbor, how could they plan a counterattack in such a short time? ”

The fox wolf stared at the tactical map in front of him, and a playful expression slowly appeared on his face.

He stretched out a finger and lightly touched a spot on the map, and on the side of his finger on the map, the name "Ji Kuhl" was prominently marked!
