Xu Lai learned how to fight in ancient times and ordered all cities near Graycastle to build beacon towers.
Once the lookout personnel find traces of demons around, they immediately ring the alarm bell and light a bonfire.
Not to mention, this approach is somewhat useful.
The lookouts on the watchtower have an extremely long observation distance. Whether they are big demons or fallen angels, they are all large creatures and appear in groups, making them easy to spot.
Of course, both demons and fallen angels are extremely fast.
Even without hero bonuses and logistics, it would only take a few minutes to fly a few kilometers.
If the residents in the city have not been trained in rapid evacuation, it will be difficult for them to complete the evacuation quickly in such a short period of time.
But even if you can't escape to a shelter like a basement, you can find a building nearby, even if you just hide in your own home.
With the strength of the demons, it is not difficult to destroy a house.
The defense and durability that can be built are much stronger than ordinary people, which will greatly reduce the killing efficiency of demons.
At the same time, Elvi, who saw the smoke, would lead a team to support in time.
Generally speaking, the demons only have about ten minutes of destruction time and cannot cause too many casualties.
Although the casualties may not be huge, it will make people panic and make Elvi and the others exhausted.
And there were not many casualties at one time. The Great Demon had three teams of people, and they never said they could only go out once a day.
Cumulatively, the daily casualties cannot be underestimated.
Especially the land in the Western Empire was already seriously lacking in population.
Only by engaging in more normal agricultural production activities can the recovery of normal land be accelerated.
As for the already severely underpopulated population, this series of attacks has led to the closure of every household, and no one dares to go out to work.
They dare not go out, not to mention supplying military rations to the front line, even they themselves will starve to death.
Xu Lai's warehouse ring can only supply food to Graycastle. He can't personally deliver food to various cities every day.
Even if he spares no effort, others must dare to come out and get it.
Xu Lai and his invincible guards dare not say that there is no danger at all.
After all, if the demons knew Xu Lai's identity, and they could fly and teleport, and they were specifically focused on Xu Lai to kill, they might not have a chance.
The most important thing is that even Xu Lai is equipped with a full-time priest to release recovery spells for the angels to speed up their physical recovery.
But one team of angels could not keep up with the consumption of three teams of demons.
It can only be said that Xu Lai cannot fly. If he had a pair of wings, he would be able to follow Elvi and the others.
If Xu Lai follows them, none of the demons and fallen angels can escape. Speed and prayer are not vegetarian.
Now, even if the angels can rely on their morale and naturally stronger speed to catch up, it will not be possible in a short time.
During the pursuit, the other two groups of demons will definitely take the opportunity to raid human villages and towns.
Even if they don't take the opportunity to attack, they quietly gather together and surround the angels on three sides, Elvi and the others are in danger.
Although the demons won't harass towns too far away, that's not necessarily the case. After all, they have already harassed everyone around them several times.
Xu Lai must find a way to solve this matter.
Otherwise, if we let it go, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the troops and the newly established Eagle Kingdom.
The most ideal way is to set up some ambushes, preferably to kill these demons directly in one go.
But this is extremely difficult. People can fly and teleport, and their speeds are quite high.
Unless you use magic to control these demons.
Just controlling it is not enough. Advanced spells like bewitching people's hearts, even if Xu Lai's mental value is extremely high, he cannot control it for too long.
In such a short period of time, unless Xu Lai ambushes a large number of troops and can output a large number of troops in a short period of time, he will not be able to kill a few demons.
As for those who are blind, they can only control and recruit demons. Even if other demons are blind, they will not be stupid enough to stay in place.
Even the recruited demons cannot be completely controlled, because they will wake up once they are attacked.
Therefore, unless these demons can be defeated, it is useless to be blind.
The most outrageous thing is that even if Xu Laishe is willing to use the scroll to control him in turns, the big demon is completely immune to fire spells.
The control spells currently mastered by Xu Lai seem to be all fire-based, except for the forbidden spell he just learned.
The demon Norman Davis was originally just a great demon captain, responsible for managing 50 great demons.
Because the team he led were all recruited great demons.
Moreover, Davis has relatively high requirements. The demons under his command must have at least 3 combat skills in addition to basic skills, not counting the ones that come with the equipment.
The so-called basic skills are similar to using a shield to a certain level to activate shield strike, and running to a certain level to activate charge.
Although these skills are also combat skills, they all come with basic skills, so they are also classified into basic skills.
In addition to basic skills, there are also many inherited and self-created skills, such as the warrior's roar, the archer's ice arrow, and so on.
Because of this, Davis and his team are one of the few elite teams among the Demon Legion.
The Davis team was not only reused by Teren, but also registered with Kerrigan and was very valued.
Tren and the thousand great demons he led had basically died in Bristone.
Kerrigan doesn’t want to blame anyone now. He just promoted two generals in the demon army as the Lord of Hell.
Norman Davis is a demon general who has just advanced.
The other is Hellboy, who has cultivated to level 9 by relying on his own strength.
Although the team led by that general was not strong, his personal combat effectiveness was the strongest in the entire demon army, except for Terun.
For this reason, the demon general was left with Kerrigan to be dispatched, while Davis was sent out to do such hard work.
Generals and heroes do not rely on their own strength, but on the bonuses given to their opponents, so that the entire team can exert its strongest combat effectiveness.
So, Davis is very worried about being ranked second.
In the past few days, he did not dare to slack off for a moment. He directed three teams of demons to attack in batches by himself.
However, humans have now learned to be smart, and began to know how to make smoke, and even sent dragon knights to follow them.
No matter how strong a single dragon knight is, he cannot be a match for their more than 500 big demons.
It’s just that the dragon knight is not slow, he is level 9, and his personal combat effectiveness is not weak either. Unless a sneak attack is successful, find a way to cut off or damage the dragon knight's wings.
Otherwise, the dragon knight, even if it has no impact on the demon team, can always lock the position of this team of demons.
After the location is exposed, it will not be that easy to attack human towns.
With only one group of arch demons and one group of fallen angels left, it is not easy to mobilize the angels, and it will be difficult to achieve any results.
But after two tiring days, Davis found an excellent opportunity.
Probably because they were attacked too frequently, those human cities had run out of food, so a food delivery team was sent from the rear.
Of course, in order to avoid being attacked by demons and fallen angels, this food transport team is also fully armed.
With a full 5,000 horse archers guarding the area, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
When the new empire troops came to challenge that day, Davis accompanied Kerrigan and watched the whole process from the sky.
These horse archers can shoot far and run fast. Their arrows are powerful and can break armor. They are indeed very powerful.
But if human beings think that this is foolproof, that is too much for granted.
You know, the most uncomfortable thing about these horse archers is their speed as fast as the wind.
Running and fighting at the same time, they can only take advantage and refuse to suffer any losses, which is really uncomfortable.
However, when they become someone else's guard, the speed that they are most proud of will lose its effect.
However, their output ability is still quite strong. Before, they were so far away and at the extreme range, they almost shot to death many level 7 lava trolls.
After all, it uses heavy arrows that can break armor, coupled with the output of skills, and the blessing of artifacts such as the Angel Alliance, the power is actually not bad.
However, Kerrigan made a prompt decision and sent fallen angels to support.
The most criticized thing about the hell camp is its poor battery life.
The tactics of evil gods and horns can only exchange for a large number of pigs with little output ability, and cannot improve the offensive capabilities of the hell campi
Now there are hundreds of level 9 people With the powerful healing ability of the fallen angels, their demonic troops are no longer afraid of fighting people head-on.
500 great demons, plus nearly 500 fallen angels, a total of 1,000 top demons, Davis believes that they can completely eat this human transport team.
You must know that in addition to the 5,000 top-level archers escorting this transport team, there are also more than 3,000 mid-level infantry and nearly 10,000 civilians.
Just these 10,000 civilians have achieved all they have gained from their busy days.
With the current population of the Western Empire, without moving in from the grasslands, I am afraid that it would not be able to organize a second 10,000-person regiment.
Not to mention these civilians also transported a large amount of food, ammunition and other supplies.
Having this team robbed will have a huge impact on humanity.
The most important thing is that as long as the robbery is successful this time, humans will either dare not transport supplies anymore.
Even if it is necessary, it will cost more to protect it.
What's more, raising supplies also takes time. As long as they continue to harass during this period, a lot of humans near Graycastle will starve to death.
Davis cannot miss this kind of good thing.
In order to prevent accidents, he specially dispatched a group of demons to harass a human town under the prying eyes of the dragon knight.
Sure enough, before these demons arrived, the angel army led by Elvi was already waiting there.
The demon captain who led the team turned around and ran away without saying a word.
He did not dare to use all his strength. Although he had a movement speed of 16 points, he only dared to run out of 15 points, giving Elvi and the others hope that they could catch up quickly.
Past experience tells them that once the angels think that chasing will take too much time, they will stop and rest to save energy.
So, this demon captain, carrying a spell scroll to accelerate attack, has been carefully suppressing the speed.
It wasn't until Davis confirmed that the group of angels had been lured far enough that the real main force of the demons was dispatched.
In this case, even if the horse archers send a signal for help, the angels will not be able to come back in a short time.
Of course, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
The angels and the dragon knights were all transferred away from the mountain just as Davis thought, and they would never be able to rescue them in a short time.
But when Xu Lai learned about the abnormal behavior of the demon army, he was 100% sure that the demon must have taken the bait.
Davis didn’t know that if Xu Lai really wanted to transport grain, he would never transport it all the way from the rear.
He directly moved a certain amount of grain from the warehouse ring, organized a grain transport team in Ashen Valley, and transported it to nearby cities. It was much faster and more convenient.
So, when Elvi was about to catch up, but was thrown away by the demon team who used attack acceleration, Xu Lai knew that the demon was probably about to take action.
However, the team of escaped demons probably did not expect that Elvy also always had an acceleration scroll on her body.
They are unable to release strategic spells. Even if they tear open the scroll, it will only have an ordinary acceleration effect.
But as long as the acceleration effect of both sides is the same, even if it is slightly different, it will not affect it at all.
The speed of Seraph and Archangel is several points faster than that of Archdemon.
The demon squad leader was visibly panicked and immediately flapped his wings with all his strength.
The teleportation is to directly teleport an extremely long distance collectively as soon as the time is up.
But they were still being approached by Elvi and the others, so the anxious demon took the lead in releasing a signal for help.
This call for help startled both parties who were about to meet.
Davis instinctively thought that humans had set up an ambush, but Xu Lai was worried that Davis would be affected and did not dare to come.
Fortunately, Elvi also knew what to do. As soon as the call for help signal came on, she left decisively with the angels.
The demon captain was so frightened that he almost flew away. He quickly sent a message to Kerrigan and Davis, informing them that they would not come to the rescue.
In the camp, Kerrigan's brows jumped instinctively and ordered the demon captain to come back immediately to report.
Davis, who also received the order, was secretly resentful. He did not expect that his men would be frightened and directly sent a signal for help.
If he went back to report to his own troops, he wouldn't even dare to fight the angels.
If he sends a signal for help as soon as he is chased, then he, the newly appointed demon general, will probably be beaten down soon.
Thinking that the angels had already left and might be on their way back, Davis did not dare to delay and quickly ordered his men to speed up.
But just as they rushed towards the transportation team in a hurry, they felt a strong sacred aura after seeing the huge transportation team.
Before he could escape, Davis was horrified to find that the demon he had just assigned as his bodyguard began to exude a sacred aura. (End of chapter)
