Although the attack of the demon army looked sharp, the casualties were also very huge, and basically every two or three hours it had to push another wave of cannon fodder up to maintain the offensive momentum.

The grass beneath the walls is stained red with demon corpses and blood, and there are glittering demon coins scattered all over the ground, and neither side can pick them up in this fierce battle.

Compared with the demon using human flesh to charge the artillery array, the human soldiers who stand at the head of the city are much happier, with the protection of the magic array and the cover of the city wall, they just need to enter the city to shoot, shoot, and shoot again.

The lone demon baby, as well as other weak demons, do not need to use precious alchemy cannons to shoot them directly with bows and arrows.

The demons who charge in groups are the favorite targets of the short-barreled alchemy artillery. One shot overturns a large piece.

As for those who rush under the walls to wreak havoc, reward them with a few grenades and make sure they get their flesh flying.

As for the enemy's fireballs and stone throws, they were completely blocked by the magic shield and were not lethal.

In this case, the casualties on the human side are almost zero, and there is no loss except for some physical fatigue and a huge consumption of ammunition and magic crystals.

In the face of such a stalemate, the legendary demon Zagulang was not in a hurry at all, and was even happy to see it happen.

Because he knew that there weren't many magic crystal mines in this barren plane, and the last war had exhausted the opponent's magic crystal ore storage, so there wouldn't be too many magic crystals in the city, and it was impossible to hold out for a few days, and it might even be consumed in a day or two.

At that time, the human race will have to suffer heavy losses, even if it is ten for one, the demon army will definitely have the last laugh.

As for the immediate losses, the legendary demon Zagu Lang didn't care at all, although there were more than 100,000 casualties every day, and many cannon fodder troops were eaten by the elite, the number of troops with him was still increasing instead of decreasing.

Every day, a steady stream of demonic troops joined his legions, constantly replenishing his consumption.

So on the surface, although the Demon Legion suffered heavy casualties, in fact, the Demon Legion fought more and more, and the more they fought, the stronger they became, because those who died were cannon fodder, but those who remained were elite.

On the human side, the consumption of magic crystals is serious, and the alchemy cannons have begun to wear out, and even explode, after all, they are all shoddy things, and it is unlikely to last too long.

Fortunately, the rear is still producing a steady stream of alchemical artillery and ammunition to ensure the consumption of the front line.

However, artillery and cannonballs can be made, but there is nowhere to dig for magic crystals.

Emperor Shi Tian made a rough calculation and found that at least two to three tons of magic crystals were consumed every day, but the combined inventory of him and the archangel Rafi was less than five tons.

According to this consumption calculation, if you hold on for three days at most, you can only stop all the magic arrays, and then you will have to carry out the most tragic attrition.

With a total of 1.3 million human beings, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, the real usable soldiers are only eight or nine hundred thousand, and the demon legions outside add up to tens of millions, if this is a tragic attrition, even a 10:1 casualty ratio will not win against others.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the number of demon dwarves on the other side is obviously quite large, which leads to the continuous appearance of catapults on the front line, almost destroying as many as possible, and the pressure on the magic array has become extremely huge.

There is also the most critical problem, the legendary demon Zagu Lang, who was humiliated by Emperor Shitian, was obviously a little angry, so that he did not stop attacking after dark, and even planned to attack non-stop day and night until he entered it.

In this way, it caused more pressure on Emperor Shi Tian and them.

That night, Emperor Shi Tian had just ordered a wave of defenders to retreat and rest, replace with a group of fresh troops, and continue to fight.

The archangel Rafi came over worriedly, first waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, and then he frowned and said: "The quartermaster has looked for me, our magic crystal reserves have dropped very seriously, and they may not be able to support it during the day tomorrow." ”

"So~" Emperor Shi Tian squinted his eyes and said, "You want to take the initiative?"

"You think so too?" asked Archangel Raffi immediately excitedly.

"No~" Emperor Shi Tian immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not that stupid!"

"What do you mean stupid??" Archangel Rafi suddenly said angrily: "We will not be able to hold it in the future, only by taking this opportunity, I will personally lead the elite army to take the initiative to attack, kill all their demon dwarves, and destroy their siege equipment, so as to ensure that there will be no accidents in the future defense of the city." ”

"Alas!" Emperor Shi Tian sighed helplessly, and said, "You can think of things, do you think the legendary demon Zagulang will not think of?"

"This~" Archangel Rafi was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said: "In terms of fighting, that guy can't do it, but in terms of conspiracy and trickery, these guys who grew up from the abyss demons are indeed more treacherous than the other." The wise angels may be smarter than them, but we can't. ”

"Isn't this the end?" said Emperor Shi Tian spread his hands and said, "The other party must have thought of this as well, so I dare to assure you that he will definitely deploy all the elite troops above the silver to the siege equipment, and there must be other kinds of magic traps waiting for you to take the bait." If you really dare to go, you will definitely suffer a big loss, you can come back, and I am afraid that even half of the people you brought with you will not be able to return home. ”

"Oops!" Archangel Raffi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning, "It seems that what you said makes some sense." But what do we do now? Do we just watch the magic crystals run out and then fight them hand-to-hand?"

"Of course not!" Emperor Shi Tian smiled slightly, and then said confidently: "Magic crystal, what we have is it, there is no need to rush at all, it is slowly consumed." ”

"Wait a minute!" Archangel Rafi immediately frowned and said, "Where did you get the magic crystal?"

"Of course I got it from my hometown!" Emperor Shi Tian said with some distress: "A thousand gold coins can only transmit a kilogram of magic crystals, and one ton costs 1 million demon gold coins, it's really dark!"

"Hahaha!" Archangel Raffi couldn't help laughing and said, "It turns out that your kid has already thought about the back hand, isn't it the demon gold coin? ”

"That's not enough, after all, we have to consume about three tons of magic crystals every day, and there may be more later, which means that three or five million demon gold coins are consumed. Emperor Shi Tian squinted his eyes and said, "So I ask you, with an elite army, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Archangel Rafi with a surprised face, "Didn't you say that the legendary demon Zagulang had already set a trap?"

"Yes!" Emperor Shi said with a smile, "The legendary demon Zagulang must have set a trap in the most important place, but there is definitely no trap in the place where I want you to attack. ”

"How do you know?" said Archangel Raffi couldn't help but say, "It's like you've seen it with your own eyes." ”

"Hahaha!" Emperor Shi then laughed and said, "I really saw it with my own eyes, because the place I asked you to attack was the battlefield outside the city wall where the three of us were mainly attacked. ”

"Huh?" Archangel Rafi was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a frown full of puzzled faces: "You let my legendary powerhouse take a bunch of alchemy angels to launch an attack on a group of demons and cannon fodder?"

"What's wrong with this?" Emperor Shi Tian said righteously, "Could it be that for the sake of victory, you can't be allowed to attack the demon cannon fodder?"

"But what does attacking those cannon fodder have to do with victory? They don't affect the overall situation. Archangel Rafi asked, puzzled.

"Those cannon fodder are secondary, in fact, your main target is gold coins on the ground. Emperor Shi Tian said with a smile.

"Ahh It is true that they should not be cheapened. ”

"These demon gold coins are the key to defeating them, but don't rush to get them for the time being, because as soon as we make a move, the other side will be alert, so it will be difficult to grab them next time. Emperor Shi Tian smiled: "It's best to save up for a few more days, and before the other party wants to make a move, but hasn't made a move, break through in one fell swoop and get it back first." ”

"But this timing is too difficult to grasp, isn't it?" said Archangel Rafi, with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, it's okay to grab it. Emperor Shi Tian said with a smile: "We all have magic crystal cannons on our towers, as long as you look at the legendary demon Zagulang, then as long as his subordinates dare to come to the city wall to grab money, just wait to be greeted by the magic crystal cannon." ”

"That's right, under the city wall is our artillery coverage, the place that belongs to us, and they dare to come and rob the money? It's just looking for death!" said the archangel Raffi triumphantly.

"But don't be careless. Emperor Shi Tian reminded: "The other party has also hidden a lot of alchemy siege equipment, and the range can definitely cover this land, but I am afraid that after being exposed, it will be destroyed by the magic crystal cannon with a longer range, so I have not dared to show my face." But if your elite troops are within their range, they will never be polite, even at the risk of loss, they will definitely greet you first. ”

"It's okay!" Archangel Rafi said nonchalantly, "Except for the magic crystal cannon, other heavy siege weapons don't pose much of a threat to the alchemy angels who are super fast and agile in their actions. Anyway, we grabbed the money under the city walls!"

"That's great!" Emperor Shi Tian said with a smile: "As long as the money is enough, the magic crystal will be continuously teleported over, and it will be regarded as exchanging the magic crystal for demon cannon fodder, but we have to see who will be the first to coax!"
