Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 12

In just ten days, the army of the demons swept across most of the territory of the Republic of Saipan. Zhang Tie followed the central army of the demons, witnessing the fall of one city after another.

After Delan City, Perrigo, then Edlan, then Somibe, then Holbic, Kozlian, and Rey...

These cities used to be prosperous human cities, and every city was no worse than Heiyan City, but now, when the Central Army Corps arrived, many cities were reduced to scorched earth. The abandoned towns, abandoned farmlands, and countless bones on the roadside passed by along the way. The cruelty of the holy war and the harm to the human race appeared again and again in Zhang Tie's heart during these ten days. in front of you.

After Delan City, the demon army went all the way south, and almost never encountered formal resistance on a large scale. The human cities were all abandoned and burned before the army arrived. Not to mention these cities, the entire Republic of Saipan seems to have become an uninhabited country at this moment. The women and children began to evacuate two years ago, and the soldiers started after the collapse of the Sernesian defense line. Evacuation, especially after the fall of Delan City, the courage of the remnant army of the Saipan Republic seemed to be exhausted all of a sudden, and no one was willing to stick to a city and wait for the arrival of the demon army.

The combined power of nearly ten million demonized puppet legions and that super demon legion is indeed unstoppable.

Speaking of the super demon army, Zhang Tie finally saw it with his own eyes once in the past ten days, and that was in Holbeach.

Zhang Tie doesn't know how to describe the feeling of seeing that demon army. When nearly 100,000 nine-level fighters suddenly stand in front of you, you don't know how to describe that feeling. For Zhang Tie, that feeling is It was an indescribable shock.

Before the demon army appeared, what Zhang Tie saw was a large number of winged demons hovering in the sky like a dark cloud. There were at least four or five thousand of those winged demons, and they circled in all directions in the sky, vigilant. , Watching the situation in all directions in the sky, less than five minutes after these winged demons flew over Holbic, the demon super army appeared on the horizon in the distance, sweeping like a black flame.

There was no movement of the ground shaking, no loud shouts, even the sound of nearly a hundred thousand people running over from a distance was almost negligible, the demon army appeared like a scorching wind blowing from a distance Under the city of Holbic, the wind stopped, and the phalanx of ten thousand people stood together silently, turning into mountains of hard steel that killed each other. Not one of the hundred thousand people made a sound, but the silent However, the imposing manner shocked the millions of demonized puppets gathered outside the city wall, and they retreated involuntarily one by one.

At that time, all members of the Three-Eyed Society of the Senel family and the Arthur family who controlled the Central Army went to the outside of Holbic to welcome the arrival of the Demon Army, and seeing this scene, everyone Everyone's face was a little pale, even the sacrificial knight of the Senel family was no exception.

Even though the little beetle that Zhang Tie turned into was just lying on the bricks on the top of a broken arrow tower on the city wall from a distance, seeing such a scene still shocked his heart.

If a level 9 Iron Armored Demon stood in front of Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie wouldn't even raise his eyelids, ten Level 9 Iron Armored Demons stood in front of Zhang Tie, that would just add food to Zhang Tie, a hundred Level 9 Iron Armored When the demon stood in front of Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie would feel some pressure. If a thousand iron armored demons stood in front of Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie would definitely turn around and run away. Needless to say, if there were 10,000 iron armored demons standing in front of Zhang Tie, the knights would make a detour. ——Nearly one hundred thousand Level 9 Ironclad Demons,

And these ninth-level Ironclad Demons are only basic troops, and there are even higher combat powers above the ninth level. Among them, the number of iron armored demon army officers from the tenth to the fifteenth level is unknown, but there are But Zhang Tie is very clear, that is, there are not one knights in this demon army, but six. Under the command of the commander-in-chief, there are five demon knights, and one of them is a demon knight. He had already died in the battle in Cernes—this information Zhang Tie "overheard" from the members of the Three-Eyed Society family these days.

How to resist such a demon army? Zhang Tie took out the legions he had heard and seen in his mind and compared them with this demon legion, and found that this demon legion had almost no opponents in the entire Blackson Terran Corridor. In front of the legion, they can only be slaughtered, even if they use human sea tactics, it is not feasible, because this sharp sword composed entirely of ninth-level iron armored monsters can easily cut open the human legion that surrounded them , torn apart, and fled calmly.

Perhaps, only in a specific narrow environment, with the armored troops that have an absolute advantage in number, surround this demon army, and then with the cooperation of the airship troops, it is possible to inflict heavy damage on it.

But the collapse of the Celnesian defense line has already told everyone that this ideal battlefield and combat environment will never appear. The Cernes war zone used to be a mixture of the strongest airship troops and the most ground armored vehicles in the entire Blackson Terran Corridor. What happened? The two major armies of the Demon Race Legion have been dragged into the bottomless quagmire. The Demon Race is not a fool, and will not stand there waiting for you to arrange everything and let you fight. Commander, his cunning and wisdom are not inferior to those prestigious generals in the clan.

The winged demon troops are the barriers and eyes that this demon army puts around them, and the overwhelming demonized puppet army is the shield and tentacles thrown by this demon army. The barrier, the eyes, the shield, and the back of the tentacles wandered around in a strange way, making people unable to catch its trace. It would only appear at critical moments, giving the human legion a fatal blow, and the final word.

Just like at this moment, after the demonic army tore through the Cernes defense line, the demonized puppet army was divided into three parts, echoing back and forth, all the way south, this demonic army has always lingered in the forward army of the demonized puppets, the central part Between the legion and the rear legion, there is a strange whereabouts. Even the family members of the Three Eyes Society don't know where it is. Within 300 kilometers of a certain legion of the great demonized puppet legion, sometimes it is in front, sometimes behind, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, completely unpredictable, and there is no pattern, and this is just a general situation. , This demon army will completely break away from the demonized puppet army, and only remotely command the military operations of the demonized puppet army, but no one knows where he is hiding, where he is going, and what he is going to do.

In addition to these, Zhang Tie found that there may be only one rule to sum up the whereabouts of this demon army, that is, this demon army never enters the city to camp, even in Holbeach, this demon army The place to camp was just outside the city, hundreds of meters away from Holbic's city wall.

Chinese military experts often use six sentences to describe the characteristics of a powerful and invincible army - it is as fast as the wind, as quiet as a forest, as aggressive as a fire, as immovable as a mountain, as difficult to know as a cloud, as moving as a thunderbolt - — After seeing this demon army, even if he was unwilling to accept and admit it emotionally, but intellectually, Zhang Tie knew that the demon army in front of him was the most worthy of the twenty soldiers he had ever seen. Four words describe the army.

The moment he saw this army, Zhang Tie realized that, except for troops of the same level, otherwise, no army would be the opponent of this demon army. The experience of the Cernes theater has told everyone that the only ones that can deal with the demon troops of level nine and above are the human troops of level nine and above. There is no other way. The biggest damage to this demon army in the Cernes theater was not the airship unit, the armored unit, or other human legions, but those demon hunters who were composed of human masters and were active on the Cernes plain. Humans and Ranger Squads.

The total number of Ironclad Demons who died at the hands of the Demon Hunters and the Ranger Team was about 3,000, while other human legions and human troops killed more than 1,000 Ironclad Demons even if they were all added up.

Zhang Tie knows that the collapse of the Cernes Terran defense line will definitely have a huge impact on the existing army groups in the entire human society. What he can see can also be seen by others. After the downturn, the human race's division criteria for the legions in the past are meaningless. Perhaps, the future human race legions only need to be divided into two types, one is used to deal with demonized puppets, and the other is used to deal with the regular army of the demons. What is needed to deal with demonized puppets are tall city walls, powerful steam ballistas, armored vehicles, and white phosphorous gel bombs dropped by airships. It is not a small threat, as long as it is a soldier or above, it can be operated, and the only ones who can deal with the regular army of the demons are human fighters above the ninth level. But even if they only form a small team or a battalion-level army, if these troops are put on the battlefield, their role may exceed that of a bloated ordinary army with hundreds of thousands of people.

Ordinary human legions have to make full use of the power of steam and steel to completely turn into thorny iron turtles, while field troops that can compete with demon legions are directly led by knights. Zaijing, maybe this is the way to restrain the demons at the beginning of the holy chalk war... If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
