The battle had already begun after Dane led three legions into the Cinderella area.
Small groups of dozens or dozens of demons will always be discovered by rangers and scouts. Then, an army several times the number of demons, based on the brigade, or even multiple brigades, went out to destroy them.
The marching speed of the entire army was not fast, but where the army passed, not a single demon could survive, and the entire clean-up operation could be described as clean.
But Dane was somewhat dissatisfied with this efficiency.
Demons are chaotic by nature and have poor discipline. Low-level demons don't have a good brain and are always prone to act impulsively. But it doesn't mean that these lower-level creatures are really that stupid.
When they saw a mighty human army marching in the wilderness, they would never gather hundreds of people and come to die.
In fact, many demons were frightened away by the mopping up.
In this way, although the army passed by and the demons retreated, the number of demons that were actually wiped out and killed was actually not that many.
Two days later, Dane decided to change the way.
Since there are three legions in hand, it is better to divide the troops into three groups.
He called the two army commanders, Patience and Airdell, and the three of them worked out three different offensive routes together. West, parted ways with Dane.
According to the plan, the troops led by Dane will rush straight to the city of Cinderella in the north, and Patience's Cormyr army will advance westward and make a circle; Elder will head eastward.
The three legions took three different routes, but the mission was the same—to reach Cinderella on February 20.
In fact, no matter which route it is, it will not take so long to walk to Cinderella. In the plan, the three legions mainly need to clean up the demons along the way.
Small batches of demons, if they choose to escape, they will not pursue them. And if you encounter a demon team with more than 30 heads, you must eliminate them.
In this way, after expanding the scope of elimination, more demons can be eliminated to a greater extent. The small batch of demons slipped through the net, and they slipped through the net. There is no big problem. Anyway, the "Destroying Magic Order" is still there, and it is good to wait for the adventurers who are attracted by the gold coins to wipe them out.
The task of the army is to eliminate the large groups of demons that are inconvenient for adventurers to eliminate, and try to suppress the number of scattered demons outside the city to the point where they cannot pose a threat to the army before Cinderella's frontal battle begins.
Of course, dividing the troops has the benefits of dividing the troops, but naturally also has the risks of dividing the troops.
If Cinderella's demon army decides to attack, then the human army divided into three groups will face the danger of being divided and defeated.
This requires strong intelligence support, and Dane is not worried about this.
The secret agents of the Black Hand Academy are closely watching Cinderella's situation. You won't miss any troubles, but at least if the enemy shows signs of large-scale mobilization, they will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the spies.
…
A few days passed in a hurry, and the three legions successfully reunited on the outskirts of Cinderella. At the same time, Pandorf's Fourth Army came.
Pandorf's work is productive. Leading a team of one hundred people, with Dane's order, he entered the army sent by Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Castle on the way.
The legion stayed in place for two days, and Pandorf had already integrated the entire legion.
The means are nothing more than foxes pretending to be tigers, and nothing more than killing people to gain power.
Of course, this integration is just a simple integration. Although the expelled officers have been demoted, it is difficult to establish a good relationship between these new officers and the old soldiers in such a short period of time. From him, the regiment commander, to the newly brought officers below, and the entire regiment, it still takes a longer time to adjust.
Under such circumstances, although the entire Fourth Army was barely formed, its combat effectiveness was mostly hopeless.
Even Dane didn't even dare to let this legion be in charge of his own rear. In case, if something really goes wrong in this war, who can rest assured that they will guard the back
Therefore, Dane gave Pandolf the order to let his Fourth Legion continue to carry out sweeping operations around Cinderella, cruise around the city, and wait for the next order at any time.
At the same time, Dane's three major legions, Binghe Yiyi, are officially preparing to enter Cinderella.
The large army had already reached the door, and it was naturally impossible for Cinderella's demons to remain indifferent.
In fact, according to the latest information, those demons have already shown signs of commotion. A large number of demons gathered in the center of the city, and even high-level demons appeared.
However, Dane is not afraid of this so-called high-level demon. If there was a top guy like Baro Balrog, Dane might still worry a little bit, but at most it would be just a big demon of level 13 or 4, not to the point where Dane would be worried.
You know, he himself has stepped into the legendary level now, and the legendary priest Esther is also in his team.
It was a regiment of the Cormyr Regiment who took the vanguard and entered the city, and the officer leading the regiment was Colonel Colthello.
Colthello was born in the night saber cavalry unit, and he was also a veteran who participated in Schindler's all-out war. During the war, he was only the captain of the Nightsaber Cavalry Brigade, but now, after Dane's army has gone through a lot of expansion, he has also been promoted to a regiment captain by virtue of his military exploits.
If there is anyone in the next batch who can be the new general, then Colthello will also be a strong contender.
Although his qualifications are not as old as Pandorf's, his combat exploits are not inferior at all.
Pandolf was promoted to general, which slightly stimulated Colthello. This time, when he had the opportunity to be a pioneer, he approached Patience directly, hoping to take on this responsibility. At the same time, he was also accumulating new credit for his further promotion to the rank of general.
His request was granted.
In order to be able to be promoted to general, this elf colonel is also full of energy. His troops advanced very fast in the dilapidated streets of Cinderella. They encountered two or three battles in one day. There were hundreds of opponents, but under his command, they were all quickly defeated.
If he hadn't received the order to suspend the advance and wait for the follow-up friendly forces to catch up, I'm afraid Colthello would continue to command the troops to attack.

There was a small mistake in the last chapter. There were not two major generals under Dane, but three, and there should be one Alexandrina. I left her out and corrected it here. In addition, the original text of the previous chapter has also been corrected.
