Chapter 267 As long as I run fast enough, death will not be able to catch up with me
Nohill had already expected that the demon army would fight with humans. After all, he has a group of teammates Even if the previous order given by the hunter demons to these demons was to surround the city wall and avoid fighting, the moment this group of viable forces joins the battlefield, the battle will inevitably break out directly.
But the casualties displayed by these demons made Nohir raise his eyebrows. He raised his eyebrows not because he felt that the casualties of these demons were too many. In fact, he felt that these casualties were too few.
Nohir knows how much combat power his side currently has. There should be nearly 800 human knights capable of fighting in the military camp, while the total number of devils is less than 300. Add in Ska, and Ming With the addition of powerful reinforcements such as Sk and even the Iron Guard, with the numerical and qualitative advantages, these devils were not completely wiped out, and were able to withdraw half of them at the same time?
Nohir was a little unbelievable, so he directly used the powerful perception ability of the crown to scan the specific number of demons that were withdrawn, and finally came to the conclusion that the total number of demons that came back was probably nearly 130. name.
This number is already quite good. After all, being able to preserve such a large number under the siege of more than 800 knights and six or seven senior professionals can definitely be said to be not weak.
At this time, the group of defeated soldiers who had approached the ordnance hoarding place also slowly stopped, because their nominal legion commander was now standing in front of them, and was still using his anger-filled and Crazy voices questioned their failure.
Most of the legion demons lowered their heads at this time, silently bearing the scolding of their masters, but those officer-level demons knew that it was impossible for the hunting demons to deal with these brainless idiots. gas.
The only ones the regiment commander questioned were their officers, and these officers also knew that if they could not use a reasonable explanation to evade this tragic failure, then their lives might also be at stake. Now comes the end.
So amidst the curses of the hunter demon, a chain demon slowly walked out. His name was Fosri, and his position was the flag officer. Just over half an hour ago, he He was still following the demon hunter, using the chain to control the command flag on his body to issue orders to the demon army. When the demon hunter left the main battlefield, the legion commander also gave him temporary command of the army on the front battlefield.
At that time, there were several officials of the same level beside him, as well as more than 20 adjutant-level devil team captains, but at this moment, there was no devil at the same level as him around him, and the adjutant-level devils There are only seven squad leaders left.
Fosili walked out cautiously and tremblingly. If these colleagues could die as suddenly as they did now, he would definitely sing and dance, because this meant that the devils at the same level could not compete with him for power. .
But what is now in front of him is an extremely heavy cauldron. The commander of the army gave him the command of the army, but when he returned this power, he could only not return it. Half, and the devils who could take the blame with him are all dead.
Although he was still happy that all his colleagues were killed, now he was complaining about why they died so quickly and so meaninglessly. Fusili couldn't help but start to wonder, if they were still alive now That would be great, so that they could take the blame for him and bear the punishment on his behalf. In this way, even if these guys die in the end, they can still use what little is left of their meaningless demon lives. value.
Unlike now, he can only face the wrath of the legion commander alone, and because there is no demon of the same level around who can help him take the blame, this makes him have no choice but to tell everything that happened before. Tell the truth. After all, the reason why they were beaten so badly was indeed due to some unexpected circumstances, so now he can only try to use this information to hope that the army commander can temporarily keep him in the current critical situation. One life.
"Sir, I don't want to shirk responsibility, but we did encounter a huge force majeure. We were attacked by a sneak attack. Among the attackers were powerful mages, damn paladin, and a big Scary giant robots, and a lot of powerful warriors."
"Great legion commander, I'm sure this group of people have experienced hundreds of battles, and their fighting skills are very high. They are ordinary devil soldiers. They are no match for them, and they are extremely cunning. They have never appeared in previous battles, but now they suddenly appeared in our unprepared rear, catching us by surprise.”
"At the same time, the group of humans who had been huddled in the city suddenly opened the barrier at the city gate and rushed out of the stronghold to double-team us."
"I'm sure those humans They must have had a plan in advance, because their reaction was too fast. The moment the group of humans attacked us, they launched the most violent siege on us at the same time. They sent out almost everyone who could fight. We are surrounded by enemies that are several times our own. If you hadn't asked the little devil to send the retreat order, I'm afraid we would have been completely wiped out."
"Sir, I am not saying this to shirk responsibility, but we have really tried our best."
After saying these words, Fosri lowered his head and began to wait silently for the legion commander's trial. Most of what he said before was true, but he made changes in some details.
For example, the reason why so many devils survived was not because they fought bravely. The reason why they survived was entirely because the moment the group of knights rushed out, they immediately began to flee. But this guy said that he started to retreat only after receiving the order from the legion commander to retreat. In fact, the truth was far less pleasant than what he said.
Nohill, who was following the farce through hunting demons, naturally eavesdropped on the chain demon’s thoughts. Knowing the reason, Nohill nodded in realization. Good guy, he thought these gangs The devils really have the ability to break out when being flanked by troops several times their own. The truth is that the reason why these devils can survive is entirely because they can run fast enough.
"That's enough, you idiot! Do you really think I will believe what you say? If the situation hadn't been very critical now and it was time to hire people, I would have killed you the moment you fooled me. Just screw your head off!”
