Archdemon

Previously, Huo Ling praised the former commander Mori for being sensible and a good devil.

But Huo Ling praised too early. After receiving the news that he no longer had to be the commander, this guy had already pocketed all the working capital of the commander's office.

Huo Ling became the commander, and his subordinates did not have a single disaster coin to call for the time being.

Although this is what every commander who changed his guard would do, Huo Ling was still very angry.

He regarded Mori as a good devil, which was really a mistake!

Without working capital, Huo Ling could not recruit soldiers on his own, and now the defense line of the entire war zone is just enough.

Once the war begins, if there is no resource for backup troops, it will enter a vicious cycle.

The fewer troops, the greater the casualties, and the greater the casualties, the fewer troops.

If other commanders come to Huo Ling's position, what they can do is to work harder and participate in more battles to reduce the pressure on the defense line.

Or he could spend his own money to recruit a group of soldiers first, and then slowly fill the gap after the benefits of the subsequent war zone were generated.

But who is Huo Ling? How could he be willing to spend money to recruit soldiers? He directly opened hundreds of huge portals.

In each portal, there were a steady stream of black iron-level skeleton warriors and silver skeleton lieutenants, who walked out in formation.

This time, Huo Ling directly summoned a full 10 million skeleton troops and 500,000 dark warrior troops as reinforcements to defend the city.

And this rotation of defense was actually arranged by Huo Ling.

During this period of time, the alternation of the position of commander, coupled with the fierce attack of the demons, the casualties of some legions on the front line have been high.

If they continue to defend these lines, they can hold on, but it is easy to fall into a vicious cycle.

All the veterans and elites with high strength are killed. Even if the number of soldiers is supplemented later, the combat effectiveness will be much worse than before.

So Huo Ling selected a group of legions, directly replaced them, and arranged the skeleton troops to garrison their original defense line.

Although the combat effectiveness of these skeletons is not as good as the same number of legion demons, even with the addition of 500,000 dark warriors, they are still not as good.

After all, the proportion of silver-level legion demons is generally about one-quarter.

Among the skeletons, the ratio of silver-level skeleton lieutenants is ten to one or even more than ten to one.

Even with the support of dark warriors, this ratio is not as good as the legion demons.

But if the quality is not enough, then the quantity will make up for it.

Huo Ling withdrew a total of 30 legions from the first layer of defense this time, that is, 3 million legion demon soldiers.

And the number of undead soldiers he arranged to garrison in the defense line reached 5 million.

The remaining troops will also serve as subsequent reinforcements, waiting here at the second layer of the city wall.

Theoretically, the combat effectiveness of three million legion demons and five million undead soldiers is similar, but on such a battlefield, five million undead soldiers are definitely more effective.

The undead soldiers are fearless and will not lose their morale due to casualties.

Moreover, the large number of undead soldiers can basically achieve a defense without blind spots on the city wall, so there will be no defense loopholes.

The most important point is that Huo Ling can fight to support the war.

Most of the undead soldiers who were summoned in the first batch have exhausted their growth potential. They have consumed a lot of soul power in the battles with each other in the skeleton plane, but they cannot absorb it to advance.

Huo Ling will not feel sorry even if they die in the battlefield.

But the demons they killed are all fresh corpses.

These are all good reserve soldiers and can be thrown directly into Huo Ling's skeleton plane.

In the skeleton plane, although the largest number is skeletons, there are spellcaster undead and lich in it.

They can turn corpses above the silver level into other undead warriors without any waste.

The battle started again, and the demons that were temporarily repelled rushed up again.

Below the legendary level, no matter how powerful the demons are, they can only climb the tall city walls.

At this stage, various long-range attacks on the city walls are densely smashed down from the demons' heads.

Many demons were killed by the attacks from above while they were still climbing, and their bodies fell to the ground and were then trampled into meat paste by other demons.

A gold-level demon, after going through untold hardships, finally climbed up the first layer of the city wall.

But what greeted him was not fresh flesh and blood, but fully armed dark warriors holding sharp cold iron spears or heavy hammers.

"Puchi!"

"Bang!"

The spears were densely stabbed, and the heavy hammers were smashed down on the head. The gold-level demon soon died under the siege of a circle of silver-level dark warriors..

This was after the demons suffered huge casualties.

More and more demons climbed up the city walls and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders here.

On the fierce battlefield, blood, limbs, and bone fragments flew everywhere.

There were definitely more demons outside the city, but they needed to climb the city walls like ants, which greatly limited their numerical advantage.

On the contrary, on the city walls, the defenders had a greater numerical advantage.

On average, at least several defenders besieged a demon that climbed up from the bottom of the city.

Such a battle, not to mention a one-sided battle, but the defenders also had a great advantage.

If such a battle only lasted one or two days each time, then the comparison of casualties between the defenders and the demons would definitely be a very low ratio.

But this was not the case. The demons' attacks were continuous, and even if the defenders had enough reserves, they would be consumed round by round.

The demons were not afraid of death. They were crazy and bloodthirsty, rushing to the city walls one after another and then dying here.

Slowly, the defenders' physical strength and magic power were consumed, and the casualties of the defenders increased.

Moreover, the attacking demons were not only low- and medium-level demons, but also gold-level and sanctuary-level demons.

Such demons climbed up to the top of the city and could kill a large number of defenders even if they were besieged.

Even if there were defenders of the same level to defend, the battle would not last long.

However, overall, the defenders still had the advantage of terrain, and various city defense equipment could greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the demons.

In the stage of the undead defending the city wall, it was like two extremes, and the demons roared crazily.

On the side of the undead soldiers, except for the swinging of weapons and the friction between the skeleton armor, there was no sound at all.

Almost every second, hundreds of demons died in battle, and when the battle was fierce, the losses of the undead were also not low.

A thick layer of bones or remnants of cold iron armor had been piled up on the city wall.

These are the last relics left by the undead warriors who died in battle.
