79: Support Kodo Beast Open Ground
On the Kodo Beast Hills at night, Wei He stood atop a small hill, watching the opposing city where torches and oil lamps were lit everywhere, illuminating every street.
Before long, massive numbers of Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss began pouring out from all directions of the city. Although ordinary city gates could stop people, they couldn't stop this overwhelming tide of insects.
"Ah, no! Ah,..." The screams of the Orcs gradually began to echo from the city, along with the faint chirping of the Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss.
"Alright, it's our turn to enter the fray. Go reinforce them!" Immediately after Wei He finished speaking, Rutgar led his three thousand Armored Soldiers charging towards the Demon Soldiers outside the city.
The Red Alert Troops also charged forward. Over two thousand Bozi Youning, armed with ppsh-41 submachine guns, sprayed bullets at the Demon Soldiers, who were riddled with bloody holes, spilling green blood, before collapsing dead.
Accompanying the Bozi Youning were dozens of Terror Robots and two Spies. The Terror Robots rushed into the enemy formation, where continuous wails were heard. When attacking the Demon Soldiers, the Terror Robots would leap toward them at high speed, using their Built-in Cutting Limbs to instantly shred them. The Demon Soldiers were killed instantly, their shredded flesh and body parts scattered everywhere.
As soon as the Spies moved, they imitated the appearance of the Demon Soldiers, becoming identical to them, and rushed into the crowd of Demon Soldiers. The Red Alert Troops could recognize the Spies as their own and would not attack them; they only needed to avoid Rutgar's three thousand Armored Soldiers.
Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the city Garrison also allocated some forces, opened the city gates, and charged out, heading toward the Demon Soldiers.
The Commander of the Demon Soldiers saw the situation, realized the enemy had reinforcements, and ordered a retreat. Countless Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss rushed toward the Orcs and the Bozi Youning, and the Demon Soldiers began to quickly withdraw under the cover of the Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss.
The Spy Demon Soldiers also retreated backward along with the Demon Soldiers. On the battlefield, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss engulfed the Orcs, while the Bozi Youning fired their ppsh-41 submachine guns wildly, spitting tongues of fire.
Even so, relying on their numerical superiority, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss were slowly advancing the battle lines, gradually closing in on the Bozi Youning. Seeing that the Bozi Youning were about to be overwhelmed by the Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss, Wei He immediately ordered the rhino tanks to go and support them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Shells landed among the swarms of Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss. The fragments, high temperature, and shockwaves generated by the explosions tore the Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss apart. Countless insect fragments flew everywhere before falling to the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of scorched insects.
Finally, all the Demon Soldiers had retreated, and the remaining Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss also scattered. Only countless fragments of insect corpses and Orc bodies were left on the ground.
Only over a thousand of Rutgar's three thousand Armored Soldiers remained, and few of the people who came out of the Outpost City to reinforce them were left. At this moment, Wei He finally understood why the Magical Beast Empire had to request aid from the Magic Empire.
"Lord, let's enter the city!" Rutgar came before Wei He and said softly. Now that the Demon Race knew the Orc reinforcements had arrived, there was no need to hide anymore.
"Good, let's enter the city!" Wei He said softly. "Don't worry, we will know their location very soon!"
After seeing the terrifying combat power of the Red Alert Troops and hearing Wei He's words, Rutgar's eyes revealed a sense of determination and hope, and he nodded gently.
The next morning, Wei He woke up from his bed. The dozens of Terror Robots sent out to fight yesterday were not recalled by Wei He when the Demon Soldiers retreated; instead, they pursued the isolated Demon Soldiers. Now, they were hunting down individual Demon Soldiers sent to scout the situation. Since none of the scouting Demon Soldiers returned, the Demon Race sent a second batch, and a third batch, who naturally also perished under the Terror Robots' Cutting Weapons.
Wei He came to the dining table and was eating the food prepared by the Orcs, but he hadn't expected the Orcs to also be eating Beast Meat, leaving him momentarily speechless.
"This is the meat of ordinary animals. Survival of the fittest is the law of nature in the forest, and we don't feel there is anything wrong with eating Beast Meat!" Rutgar seemed to notice Wei He's doubts and explained.
"Oh, so that's how it is! Haha!" Wei He gave an awkward laugh and said.
Meanwhile, the Spy Demon Soldiers finally followed the main Demon Soldier force to their Lair. It turned out that where the Kodo Beast Outpost bordered the Demon Race territory, the earth had cracked open, forming a massive fissure, which looked like a canyon had appeared on the ground when viewed from above.
Large numbers of Demon Soldiers were hidden at the bottom of this canyon, which explained why the people from the Magic Empire couldn't find them. At the bottom, there were dark, black Lair entrances, each only the size of a human doorway. After entering, the space inside was comparable in size to three luxurious palaces, and the presence of tunnels indicated even more space within.
There were dozens of such Lairs on both sides of the canyon, no wonder they could accommodate so many Demon Soldiers.
Just as Wei He was planning to tell Rutgar the good news and prepare to mobilize the army for an attack, a familiar figure walked out of the Demon Race Lair. Charlie stood right in front of the Spy Demon Soldier, seemingly noticing nothing unusual.
Wei He quickly selected one of the Spies accompanying the army and had him imitate Charlie's appearance. Charlie wandered around outside for a bit before returning to the Lair.
Wei He began to harbor other plans. He did not tell Rutgar the location of the Demon Race but quietly waited for the Magic Empire's army to arrive.
When Neme arrived leading the large army, Wei He was more excited than ever. After Neme understood the situation, she set up Magic Arrays at the four corners of the city.
When night fell, the Demon Race started harassing the Outpost City again. In the Magic Arrays at the four corners, each array had over twenty Beginner Magicians. Holy Light emanated from them, concentrating on the central Magician. Subsequently, this Magician was slowly lifted by the Holy Light and suspended in the air.
As the Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss grew in number, the Demon Soldiers followed closely behind. The sound of their marching footsteps was neat and powerful, and the chirping of the Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss made everyone's nerves tense.
Of course, except for Wei He. He was currently standing on the city wall talking and laughing with Linlin, completely unfazed by the war. Linlin knew how capable Wei He was and wasn't worried at all, while Huang Yichen still stayed close to Wei He, protecting him.
"Ah, this Magic Empire really has some tricks! The power of the Magic Array is still so strong!" Wei He said, glancing at Huang Yichen beside him. Last time, he was severely injured by a Magic Array in Kela City.
Huang Yichen lightly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
The Demon Soldiers and Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss outside the city wall were mercilessly devoured by the Holy Light shot from the Magic Arrays. Wherever the Holy Light passed, there were agonizing screams, followed immediately by the bodies of the Demon Soldiers and Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss being ripped apart and shattered on the ground, with green blood flowing everywhere.
The Magician suspended in the Magic Array shone with Holy Light all over, as if possessing infinite energy. A beam of Holy Light shot from his body, continuously sweeping through the Demon Race forces. One wave charged up, and one wave fell. Before long, the corpses piled up into a small hill on the open ground outside the city wall.
