Nine Hundred and Eighty-Two Orders of the Queen

The first round of bombing by the Alanhill Empire made the winter of the entire demon world boil. The demon resistance force, which thought that the human attack was weak, finally realized the real gap between the two sides.

In the north, the key area of ​​the Irish Empire's offensive, the sound of explosions can be heard everywhere. Thousands of cannons roared, sending countless shells over the heads of the demon resistance forces.

These demons who used to show off their power in the human world now have little ability to resist.

Although they still have an army of more than one million, in fact, the combat capabilities of these troops are actually very low.

They do not have qualified logistical supplies, because the arable land was destroyed by the Alan Hill Empire, and the entire Demon Realm is now in a state of extreme food shortage.

The demons that intersect with the Alan Hill Empire, as well as the occupied area of ​​the Alan Hill Empire, are supplied with a large amount of food on the Magic Continent, so their lives are not bad.

But for those places that refuse to cooperate, life is quite aggrieved. At least, most of the demon-controlled areas can't even eat enough.

Without food, the combat effectiveness of the army can be imagined. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the demon army, many demon commanders had to start conniving their soldiers to rob the civilians of the same race.

Most of the demon dogs have been lost due to genetic attacks, and most of the remaining demon dogs have become food for senior demon soldiers.

The population of the entire demon-controlled area is declining sharply. The demons with a population of billions have dropped sharply to a level of only a billion people after the war broke out for a year.

This is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is that after losing a large number of factories and cities, the demon's war potential has been completely emptied.

It's not just that there are no qualified supplementary soldiers, and it's not just that soldiers lack training.

The commanders of these demons can't even guarantee that the troops in their hands can maintain their operations.

The original 3,000-strong army now has only 1,400 or even 1,200. Even so, similar troops are still the main force of the demon army.

As for the improvised armies, some required 5,000 troops, but could barely make up 2,000.

Such a troop, not to mention fighting, is barely maintaining law and order, and may not have enough manpower.

What makes the devil even more desperate is that,

Even at this point, with a serious shortage of combat troops, they still lack food and clothing, and even do not have enough resources.

Let me give you the simplest example: at the beginning of winter, the demons in the northern region supplemented 115 sets of armor for every 1,000 soldiers. This is the material supplement data on paper.

It can be seen that even on the whitewashed paper data, the war supplies obtained by the demon front-line combat troops are already very scarce.

What is the actual situation? In fact, for every 1,000 soldiers in the front line of the demons, they can only get 70 sets of supplementary armor, and those who have repaired the anti-transported troops will have another 10 sets...

At the same time, the demon troops fighting on the front line consumed magic destruction arrows in battle, with a total consumption of about 3,000 arrows per day.

As a result, the number of magic destruction arrows added to the hands of the front-line combat troops was only 2,400. It can be seen from this that the number of magic arrows in the hands of the demon troops has actually been decreasing.

The reduced arrows can only be filled with ordinary bows and arrows: the devil consumes 15,000 ordinary bows and arrows every day, and replenishes 16,700 arrows, barely maintaining the number of arrows for the frontline troops.

You know, demons have always been fighting defensive battles, and they are constantly retreating, so whether it is magic destructive arrows or other ordinary bows and arrows, they are all consumable items. After the battle is over, they cannot be recycled and reused .

The end result is that although the demons have increased the number of arrows they stockpile at the front line, most of them are ordinary arrows, while the number of magic arrows is decreasing sharply.

Because the demon's logistics supplies have completely collapsed, front-line demon soldiers rarely have access to non-combat supplies such as cotton coats. Therefore, when the demon army fights in the cold winter, more soldiers freeze to death than die in battle.

There is almost no cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold, and there is a lack of bow and arrow weapons, and even armor cannot be equipped. Under such circumstances, talking about the fighting power of the demon clan is no different from joking.

Therefore, when Alan Hill's heavy armored grenadier troops began to attack the demon's defense line, the demon troops were basically in a state of collapse at the first touch.

Although the mountain roads in the north are rugged, they have an end after all. When the vanguard of the Alan Hill Empire broke through several lines of defense guarded by the demon army, a vast plain appeared before their eyes.

This is the granary of the demon north! There are thousands of miles of fertile fields and rivers, and there are almost no dangerous terrains.

And the desperate demon army finally realized that the favorable terrain they were relying on had already been captured by their opponents.

On the edge of a dry forest, a demon officer held a long sword at his waist, and stared sadly at the smoky mountain in the distance, which was their last defensive position in the mountain.

At this moment, dozens of A-10 attack planes and three AC-130 gunboats were continuously firing around the hill, and he could clearly see the flames and thick smoke there.

He simply didn't believe that anyone could come back alive from such a terrible attack, let alone that his companions could survive under such terrible firepower for a long time.

It is almost certain that before noon, it will be occupied by humans, and the stubborn demons in the northern mountains will lose all their geographical advantages almost at the same time.

As an experienced demon commander, he can also be sure that in a few hours, those terrifying human troops will arrive at his current location and drive the army he leads out of the forest.

Then, those planes that linger like flies will swoop down from the sky to reap their lives.

In an afternoon at most, his more than 3,000 patchwork demon soldiers would be wiped out. There are corpses everywhere on the ground, and there are not many soldiers left alive...

"Damn..." He cursed, but there was nothing he could do. He was ordered to be stationed here, to train recruits and prepare to defend the land.

But now with the strength in his hands, it is impossible to complete this arduous task! You know, the troops he commands are not 3,000 battle-tested fighters!

He only has 500 elite demon soldiers in his hand, all of whom are veterans who have been with him for many years. The remaining 500 soldiers are considered qualified supplementary soldiers. Although they don't have much combat experience, they can be said to be strong and brave fighters.

But the other 2,000 people are basically armed recruits like farmers, with pitifully low combat effectiveness, and they are all cannon fodder when they fight, and they are sent to death!

He felt sorry for these soldiers. If he was allowed to train for another three months, these soldiers could learn a lot. At least in battle, they can rely on each other and face difficulties together.

But now, the recruits haven't been trained yet, and he doesn't have time to continue training them—under such circumstances, demon soldiers who haven't undergone complete training can only be treated as cannon fodder and wasted.

"My lord! The trenches have been dug! We have also set up some covered bunkers in some areas..." A low-level officer came over and lowered his head to report the layout of the defense line.

Following the officer's instructions, the demon army established a line of defense along the edge of the forest. This line of defense is very concealed, but it lacks enough firepower.

They don't have decent anti-aircraft guns, so they don't have anti-aircraft capabilities - sadly, because of the presence of infrared detector devices, their concealment is not really "concealed" at all.

The opponent will easily destroy these trenches, find out the hidden demon troops and kill them one by one...

And they don't have enough firearms to defend against the assault of the Irish Empire troops: on the trench defense line at the edge of the entire woodland, this demon army only has 200 imitation Mauser 98K rifles!

This kind of firepower density, in the eyes of the army of the Alan Hill Empire, is almost a joke.

"grown ups……"

"I know! Prepare to fight! Let all the soldiers cheer up!" The demon officer gave the order helplessly, as if welcoming the arrival of death.

At this time, in the distance, a cavalry riding a ground dragon beast approached quickly, and stopped near the edge of the dry coniferous forest.

This demon soldier is wearing a gorgeous armor, but it is not the traditional pattern of the devil. Although I don't know when this style of pattern entered the ranks of the demon army, but those who are familiar with this pattern know that this is the symbol of the army of the demon king Aresia.

Yes, these armors all come from Alan Hill, and were tailor-made by Arecia herself for her personal guards.

An armor factory in the Alan Hill Empire undertook this project and ordered a batch of exclusive armor for the demons, the number is astonishing 20,000 sets.

The point is that it only took 3 days to produce these armors. The large-scale mechanical production line endowed these armors with superior strength and almost perfect quality.

The knight stopped at the edge of the jungle, turned over and jumped off the ground dragon beast, then held his long sword, and walked in front of the demon officer who was staring at him.

"Are you here to support us?" Seeing the knight approaching, the demon commander asked slowly.

Although he knew that it was unlikely that the other party would come here alone to support him in fighting the enemy, he still asked this question. Because he didn't want to hear the other answer, the one that bothered him so much.

"I'm here on the Queen's order to convey to you the Queen's order." The knight said: "Put down your weapons and leave here! If you want, I can help you..."
