After crawling out of the soil, the Death Lord roared towards the sky as if it had seen the light of day again! Then, it raised the scepter in its hand and hit the ground hard. In an instant, twelve more undead knights crawled out from the ground.

Holding the giant skeletal sword in hand, following the death lord's call, he rushed towards the wounded and fleeing demon!

But just when Ariel wanted to see the result, Coco, who had just finished casting the spell, seemed to be unable to hold on, and fell limply to the ground. Seeing this, Ariel quickly got out of the car and stepped forward to help her up, then turned around

, when he saw Doudou still squatting in the car with a scared look on his face, he couldn't help shouting: "Come here and help your sister!"

Hearing Ariel's shout, the big boy finally came to his senses and hurriedly came over to help support Coco into the protective group of soldiers.

After handing Coco over to others to take care of, Ariel turned her head and saw the Death Lord directing his undead knights to fight with the three-headed demons. But maybe it was because of insufficient magic power itself that Ten

The two undead knights didn't seem to be able to suppress the three demons very well, and the fighting situation was not optimistic.

On the other side, those demons have completely overwhelmed the first line of defense of the mermaid army, and now the soldiers are retreating in waves, trying to use this method to divert the battle.

However, when Ariel turned her head and looked at the surrounding terrain, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Because here is a plain...

Although the plains are considered the main battlefield for elemental guns, they are faced with humans who will also be injured and killed by elemental guns.

Now, there is no danger to defend on this flat plain, and if we want the entire army to withdraw to the Valley of Doom, the distance and time will definitely not be enough!

In other words, there are only two paths before Ariel now.

Otherwise, abandon the large troops and evacuate towards the Valley of Doom as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, stay here with your soldiers and wait for fate to come...

"Are you kidding me... I struggled for so long, but I didn't come here just to end up in a place like this..."

Ariel gritted her teeth, trying to find even a little chance of victory in this miserable scene.

Since there is no way to rely on the geographical location to find a barrier here, then the only thing that can be done is to find a way to stop these demons in front of us?

At this moment, Ariel no longer looked at these plains, but focused all her attention on the demons that were getting closer and closer.

She tried hard to observe and distinguish carefully. The attacks of these demons definitely did not look like unorganized behavior, and the slender demon just turned around and ran away, which proved that these demons have autonomous consciousness! At least, there are definitely those who act as commanders and have autonomy.

The devil of consciousness exists!

Moreover, anyone who can think of attacking his own team at this time must have some kind of very careful plan!

Ariel observed cautiously and carefully, ignoring the ferocity of the demons and the screams of the soldiers, carefully observing without as much interference as possible...

Finally! She suddenly realized that among these demons, one demon did not seem to be actively attacking, but always occupied the center and back position of the entire demon team. At the same time, there were several other demons standing behind it.

By his side, he seemed to be acting as a guard.

Seeing this, Ariel immediately gave the order and shouted -

"Attack that lizard-like demon! Kill it!"

Ariel's voice was really not very loud, but the soldiers' orders could be conveyed quickly.

As the surrounding soldiers kept shouting, all the elemental guns that could still be raised were immediately aimed at the lizard demon!

As a demon, the lizard seemed to be far more afraid of these elemental guns than Ariel imagined. When it realized that it seemed to have been noticed, the surrounding demons immediately gathered around him and became his

barrier. After the first round of elemental gun fire passed, the lizard demon separated the injured demons. It seemed to have a little thunder power in its claws, and rushed towards the human closest to him at extremely fast speeds.

With one claw, he crushed the mermaid soldier's head to pieces, and then retracted into the protection of those demons again.

"That's him! Attack! Even if it means death, we must defeat that demon!"

The soldiers on the front line also noticed the abnormal behavior of this demon, and at that moment, heroic actions also appeared.

The two soldiers completely ignored the demons rushing toward them. Instead, they raised the elemental guns in their hands and rushed towards the demon with a loud roar!

Just when the demons responsible for guarding raised their claws and prepared to tear them apart, they simultaneously threw the two large bags of bullets they carried on their shoulders at the demons. At the same time, they raised their elemental guns and aimed at the demons.

Just shoot the bag!

With the impact of bullets and bullets, flames also burst out at this moment. The figures of the two soldiers were shrouded in flames, but the guard demons who tried to protect the lizard demon were also struck by this sudden wave of flames.

Forced back, the protected lizard demon was involuntarily exposed.

"Fire——————!!!"

A squad leader shouted with tears in his eyes, his voice almost breaking.

However, there was no need for him to issue orders. The hundreds of Mermaid soldiers in front of the gap had already raised the elemental guns in their hands and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

At that moment, the bullets with hatred and flames penetrated the wave of flames that had not had time to dissipate. Before the lizard demon even had time to react, a large number of bullets had already hit his open white body heavily.

Above the belly.

As blood burst out, the lizard demon screamed and fell backwards, covering its wounds. It was only then that the demons on both sides finally gathered together again, protected their leader again, and retreated

go.

"Hit! Hit!"

This attack boosted the morale of the mermaid army! The humans who were still in a defensive posture immediately stood up and aimed the elemental guns in their hands at the demons responsible for guarding again!

But these demons now seemed to have received certain orders. The attack they originally launched now retreated completely and began to gather around the injured demon leader.

It was at this time...

Du-du-du-du--du-du-du-du---!!!

In the distance, the horn sound of the mermaid army came.

Upon hearing this, Ariel knew that the two support troops she had just notified had arrived quickly!

Under the wind and snow that gradually subsided, two well-equipped mermaid armies of thousands of people, specially responsible for frontline combat, began to appear on the horizon. At the head were four modified elemental armored vehicles, with a roaring sound on one side.

Open fire and rush towards this side.

This situation is undoubtedly a great benefit for the mermaid army, but for the demons over there, the situation is terrible.

In the distance, Ariel seemed to be able to hear some inarticulate roars coming from the heavily surrounded demons, as if they were dissatisfied with the fact that this surprise attack would lead to a counter-siege. Immediately afterwards, this

The thousand-headed demons quickly began to move. Except for leaving behind a small number of demons who had no free will at first glance, the main force led by the demon that was protected just now obviously fled towards the mountains in the distance.

go out.

"Get out of the way! Don't chase the poor bandits!"

Ariel quickly issued the order, and after a while, the mermaid soldiers who came to support made way for the demons to flee in confusion. Even so, the four elemental armored vehicles were still behind these demons.

I followed them all the way, shooting continuously, until I was sure that the demons would never turn back again, then I completed the mission and turned back smoothly.

After this battle, Ariel felt that her heart was about to pop out.

Although she later said some words of condolence to the generals of the two armies who came to meet with her, in private, she could not conceal the wild beating in her heart.

In the afternoon of the next day, the team finally arrived safely in the Valley of Doom. After everything settled down, Ariel had time to hide in her tent, hugging the pillow, and breathing heavily. Even now.

, she couldn't help but pinch her thighs with her nails desperately to prevent herself from screaming directly.

Ever since the confrontation with the Demon King's army, Ariel has never faced those demons head-on.

Even in the Elf Valley, there were guards and soldiers standing around her. Even if she could see the enemy in the distance, she still knew that she was safe for the time being.

But this time...

This time, the enemy's attack directly passed through her ear. It can even be said that it was not until this time that Ariel truly understood how terrifying it would be to face those demons... those demons'

How strong its attack power is, and how solid its defense power is.

If……

If I hadn't temporarily left the prescribed route on a whim and asked the two troops to come for support, then whether I could still sit peacefully in the Valley of Doom now is probably a question.

An unknown quantity.

By this time, Ariel felt a personal threat from the bottom of her heart.

Tomorrow, this enemy attack will be aimed at her. It is conceivable that some people among the demons have already begun to prepare for the beheading of Ariel Garcia!

What's even more terrifying is that their operation almost succeeded this time!

So, why did they succeed? Why could those demons know their plan of action this time?

……spy.

Sure enough, there are spies in our own army?!

In other words, did some humans betray the mermaid army and completely sell out the information to the demons?

As soon as she thought of this, Ariel felt that her back was once again covered in cold sweat.

Although her heart was still full of fear, she did not dare to continue sitting here. At that moment, she threw away the pillow and walked out of her tent without even having time to wipe off the dust on her face. She looked at the busy people in front of her.

Soldiers building the camp.

And these soldiers did not seem to understand the leader's current mood. The Mermaid Army suffered heavy losses in this battle. More than 5,000 soldiers, including the old, weak, sick and disabled, were directly reduced by more than 1,000 after an attack by the opponent.

Humans. However, not many demons died. Now they are all missing their comrades and preparing dinner, and have no intention of guessing Ariel's mood.

But Ariel knew that one of these people in front of her...or at least one, would be a huge unstable factor!

"Peapod! How many times have I told you? Be obedient! Why don't you listen to me?!"
