The 485th chapter struggle (3)

As for Lucia, Elizabeth is an important bargaining chip that Danica restricts the beasts. If there is a rift in their relationship, the beasts will be much less suppressed at least in the western part of the mainland. Even in order to survive in this alliance, Elizabeth must move closer to Lucia.

Elizabeth knew this, Lucia knew it, Danica, Philis and the others knew it, so after Elizabeth and Lucia left one after another, Philis smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Elizabeth is not very happy."

"Not very happy?" Danica sneered and said, "I can only take out 500,000 troops. What qualifications does she have to be unhappy?"

Phyllis didn't know what to say, she was silent for a while and asked, "Are you going to the Tulip Kingdom?"

"I have this plan."

"Can Aphro help her?" Phyllis asked with some concern. After the natural disasters and the undead, the national strength of the Tulip Kingdom was lost by at least 60% to 70%. Now Aphro is still building a temporary residence! Is it possible to help them? The current situation cannot help them slowly recover their national strength.

"It depends on the situation." Danica said with some uncertainty, "I need to talk to Aphro to see how the Tulip Kingdom is now. Actually, I have always considered a question whether to give up Elizabeth."

"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Phyllis asked.

"Not suddenly," said Danica. "I had this idea a few months ago when Elizabeth was unable to inherit the Pope's throne."

"Just because of the Holy Territory?"

"This is enough. With this idea, of course there are many reasons to find out." Danica said, "For example, you said that Pavas is nothing in the Nine-Level Heaven, but in my opinion, he is much more dangerous than Vikhamund. There are many places similar to priests and warlocks, holy light and evil energy." The warlock obtains evil power from the abyss, and the priest obtains the power of holy light from the Nine-Level Heaven. These powers do not belong to the Katic continent itself. And since the warlock can infused evil energy from the great demons to achieve the goal of "quickly becoming a talent", why can't angels? In fact, the Angel Sect has shown this sign now, and the Pavas Angel is using its own power to forcibly improve the combat effectiveness of members of the Angel Sect.

"Do you think Elizabeth and the Holy See are unreliable, so Aphro is reliable?"

"So I'm very hesitant!" Danica said helplessly, "But now it's a chance. If they can play their due role in fighting the demons, then it's not impossible for us to help."

Phyllis frowned slightly. Elizabeth did not do well enough in this regard. She said at the beginning that she hoped Elizabeth could integrate the power of the Holy See as soon as possible, but Elizabeth, who did not inherit the throne, did not have the confidence after all, and there was no way to deal with the Angel Sect. She still couldn't bear to fight a civil war.

In fact, Elizabeth also has his own difficulties. It is simple to launch a civil war, and it is not impossible to completely destroy the Angel Sect. But after that, after a civil war, the Holy See of Light was probably the same as the current Dwarf Kingdom and the Tulip Kingdom. Trudeau personally went to the Moonlight Forest to congratulate Phyllis on his ascension to the throne and become the new elf queen, but he did not even have the qualifications to attend the ceremony. And has this new "intermediate parliament" considered the interests of the dwarves when formulating strategies?

At this time, Tailan, who had been listening to the side, couldn't help but say, "The devil has hit the door, can't we calm down for a while?" Why are they so keen on intrigue and frame each other?

Danica smiled and said, "It is not contradictory to fight against demons and intrigues within the alliance! We must learn in the Kenster trial at the beginning, taking into account the ultimate goal and our own interests. Only when we take care of both these aspects can we be considered a qualified representative of forces. Fighting against demons is of course important, but after defeating the demons, our own strength loss is too serious. The alliances that have lost their common enemies will become new "demons" and tear their weak self apart."

Tyran said without hesitation: "I'm worried that we can only take care of our own interests and don't care about fighting the demons, and we will finish playing together in the end."

"No, at least so far, we have done quite well." Danica was very confident, "Look, although I have been surrounding the beast tribe and expanding to the outside world, after realizing that the strength of the demon legion increased greatly due to the joining of the dragon, Lucia still sent out 500,000 troops without hesitation. You wouldn't think that 500,000 troops is a small number, right? Taylan, I said before that this kind of world-class confrontational power scheming is not very useful. What we are fighting for is consumption, population and material consumption, and control of the potential of the war in the Katic continent is what we should do. As for front-line command, to be honest, Lina and Fei Miller are better than us."

"Did we control it?" Tyran retorted, "Don't forget that just a few months ago, for personal gain, we allowed the devastation to sweep half of the continent, causing hundreds of millions of deaths."

Danica shook her head and said, "This is different."

"Why are they different?" Tailan asked stubbornly.

"The Scourge is our allies," said Danica. "Are they going to fight against the demons with us now? Otherwise, why would Marganis have to attack along the Gris River? This is the most beneficial direction for us."

"I don't think so." Lucia muttered. Of course, she wouldn't think so, because there is a key message she doesn't know - Danica can control natural disasters and undead to a certain extent. Because of the layered and complex aristocratic class with complex interests, the social structure in the western region is stable but not efficient. When the entire social machine needs to be operated at a high speed due to war, the rulers of the kingdoms will find that the orders they issued cannot be implemented well. Therefore, in Danica's view, the war potential of many human kingdoms in the western region is not great, and it is not as useful as the undead!

However, this fact is not suitable for rumor. Danica could only smile and said, "Okay, let's just stop here today. There are still a lot of things tomorrow!"

As soon as Danica stood up, she saw Xiaolei hurriedly pushing the door and saying, "Emergency Military Newspaper, the Demon Legion attacked in the night, and the first fortress was a little unable to defend."

"So fast?" Tyran said in surprise. "Didn't they attack once during the day?"

Danica didn't know what to say. In fact, this is the real rhythm of the demon invasion. During the previous Anti-Demon Battle, the demon attack stopped for a while, and would not continue to attack after gaining the advantage. That was because their main task at that time was to summon the abyss to this world, rather than invading the world with their own strength. Of course, Danica was also under control. But obviously, neither Taylan nor the commanders on the front line realized that the demons they were facing now were completely different from those before, and these demons had a more crazier offensiveness.

When Danica and the others arrived at the First Fortress, the situation there was really bad. A small section of the city wall had completely collapsed, and a large number of demons and beast soldiers fought fiercely at the gap in the city wall.

Danica found Lina and asked the first sentence: "Is there any need to defend the first fortress?"

Lina bit her lip tightly and said, "If the first fortress is better to give up according to the past situation, but... but this time the demon's attack is very fierce, and I'm worried that something will happen if it is traded and then withdrawn." The so-called problem mainly refers to morale. In the era of cold weapons, retreating will have a great blow to morale. If the Demon Legion continues to attack the second fortress after occupying the first fortress, Lina is worried that the second fortress cannot be defended. This situation has happened. In the long tug-of-war before, the Anti-Demon Alliance was repeatedly worn by the Demon Legion Company to stabilize its position.

Danica still trusts Lina very much in military judgment. She turned to Phyllis and said, "It seems we have to help guard it, otherwise the first fortress will not be able to defend it."

At first, Danica thought it would be enough to just stay for one night. During the day, with a good vision, the huge lethality of the artillery could play a role. Moreover, with so many high-level professions, those giant dragons dare not be too presumptuous.

No one expected that this guard would last for five days, sleepless for five days, and he had to mobilize his mental power to fight. Danica could no longer hold on.

"Are you okay?" Philis asked with concern. From the third day, Philis will be with Danica during the battle. The main reason is that her current condition is too bad, her face is pale and sweat is oozing on her forehead. What makes Philis even more frightened today is that Danica's whole body has become a little illusory.

Danica sat in a mess on a stone, which was a collapsed stone brick. She gasped and said, "The body... the body is a little unable to hold on." The soul is okay. The soul is not that weak, but the body is different. Because the failure to reshape the body when stripping the bloodline, Danica's physical condition is extremely poor and has not recovered yet. If she could not see anything in normal times, once she encountered such a difficult battle, the body would be a little unable to hold on.

"That's right..." Danica said with a wry smile, "I remember that the Saint-level powerhouse has the strong power to destroy a city? Why did it become like this when we get to us?"

Phyllis gave Danica a blank look and said, "Are you not satisfied with this? Our opponents are not houses made of wood and bricks, but demons with professional strength!" If they weren't there, the first fortress would have been lost long ago. In terms of the average strength of the soldiers, the demons were much stronger than the anti-demon coalition.

After fighting for several days, Phyllis was also full of fatigue. She walked over the bunker made of corpses and stones, looked outside, and said, "It should be almost done. I think the Demon Legion is a little unbearable."

The Demon Legion had also paid a considerable price to be able to waste several Saint-level powerhouses like this. As the leader of the demon, Marganis led the team to charge three times. The first time he was blocked by Lina, he was broken all over his body, which was worse than Danica now. At this time, he was still lying on the hospital bed in the rear! But at least he had saved his life. The second and third times were only allowed to resist Phyllis and Lucya. If another commander was damaged, he would really not be able to defend it.

After six days and five nights of high-intensity attack, the Demon Legion finally retreated, but the first fortress was basically completely turned into ruins. I don’t know how long it would take to repair it again! So Phyllis decided to give up the first fortress and retreat to the second fortress.

Both sides fought very well in this battle. On the Anti-Demon Alliance, more than 100,000 Beast soldiers died; some of the 100,000 cannons were destroyed by the dragon, and some were left with more than 30,000 due to frequent cannon explosions; 120,000 were killed in the Holy See of Light; one-third of the magician army brought by Philei Lion fell into soul fatigue because of overdrawing mental power and had to go back to the Moonlight Forest to rest. In addition, the opponent also paid a great price in this battle, at least 500,000 demons stayed there forever.

The battle loss ratio made Danica a little difficult to accept. The 500,000 demons made them like this. There are hundreds of millions of demons on the Abyss Peninsula! What is 500,000?

The elves need to transfer a group of magicians to come over. The Gemini Kingdom needs to bring 100,000 cannons as supplements. The orcs need to send additional troops. In addition, the human race in the western region has a population of 900 million and must not hide behind them all the time. If Elizabeth is reluctant to send people, Danica has to find a way herself.

ps: I recently discovered that there was a serious geographical error in the previous text. The entire Katic continent is probably an elliptical shape. You can imagine it as Australia. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south. The main rivers flow from north to south into the sea. Clockwise, the southernmost direction is the southern coastal area, then the Tulip Kingdom, the Holy See of Light, the three major magic academies, the dwarf kingdom, and when you arrive at the prairie of the orcs, you will reach the north direction, and then the east

The Druid Sect in the North Basin, the eastern forest, the central region in the middle, and the current location of the Gemini Kingdom. This is also the order in which Danica traveled the entire continent before. It can be seen that the main activity area of ​​the Red Cross Society of Jenny is actually to the west of the mainland, that is, the "western region", but in the previous chapters, many places were written as "eastern region", which is wrong. The eastern part of the Katic continent is the "eastern forest" and the location of the elves.
Chapter completed!
