Bedimore didn't remember how the fight happened afterwards. His hair was disheveled, his armor was full of cracks, the sword in his hand was cut and curled, and his clothes were soaked with someone's blood. After the fight, the entire army plus the reserve army was less than a hundred people. Once the protection of the formation disappeared, the casualties were even more severe. These well-trained soldiers could still group together to attack the demons, but they could only attack the demons if they were hit. can fall down.
Fortunately, the number of demons has also dropped rapidly. Although there are many strong people among them, there is no outstanding leader like Alaya, and their actions are not organized, and Alaya alone has killed many of them. In addition, Bedimo led the soldiers to fight to the death, and the vanguard of the Demon Race began to retreat slowly after leaving behind an unknown number of corpses.
Bedimore did not rest, but continued to attack with his soldiers. It doesn't matter if the effect is minimal, he must maintain an offensive posture in order to give the demons the illusion that human beings still have strength. Once they realize that they are at the end of their strength, the demons will not be dismissed so easily.
Alaya returned to Lid with a tired face.
The armor on her body also suffered a lot of damage, but fortunately, the two swords were of extraordinary quality, and they didn't lose their chains at critical moments, and they were as bright as new when they accompanied her to kill a bloody road. If it weren't for the sharpness of the weapon and the lack of command of the demon army, Alaya would not have dared to rush into the demon army to fight with her life just now.
"Master, I'm back."
Alayya threw the blood off the sword to the ground, and put the sword back into the scabbard.
Lide took out a handkerchief from his arms, helped her wipe off the blood on her face, and asked:
"Are you hurt?"
Alaya shook her head:
"No, but... very tired. I'm afraid I can only protect the young master for a short time, and I can't kill the opposite army like this again."
Lide touched her head and said with a smile:
"Understood, from now on, you just need to stay by my side safely and protect me."
Bedimore walked over with a limp. One arm was bitten by the [Magic Wolf] and pierced by sharp teeth. Now it hangs on the side of his body. Holding the sword in the other hand, with a bitter smile on his face, he said to Lid:
"Master City Lord, although we were ambushed by the demon army and had to fight the uncommon powerful demon, we still repelled the opponent. This should teach the demon army some lessons."
Lide glanced at him, was silent for a moment, and said:
"Ambush... I hope it's an ambush."
Bedimo was stunned for a moment, not understanding why his own city lord said that, and blurted out a question:
"what do you mean?"
Lide didn't look at him, but looked at the demon corpses on the ground, and replied simply:
"When fighting tree monsters, I took some of the soil on their feet and found that the soil was already dry. Tree monsters, once they do not move for more than half a day, will stick their roots into the soil and take the tree's The forms absorb the nutrients, water, and magic power in the land, and their roots are covered with dried soil, indicating that they are not lying in ambush here, but have been on their way, and happened to meet us."
Lied continued:
"When we fought against the demons just now, they were clearly superior in strength, but we seized the opportunity. This is not an ambush. There is no reason to ambush others and be caught off guard by others. If it is true The most important thing is to ambush, at least there should be supporting tactics and strategies, there should be a demon general who can command on the spot, a strong encirclement net and continuous follow-up support. They just don't have these. Speaking of it, I don't think the demons The generals on the other side of the clan have such brains, so we dare to bring such a small number of people over for a sneak attack."
Bedimore still didn't understand what Lide meant, and asked incredulously:
"But the city lord saw it just now. The strength of those demons is completely unbelievable. They are completely two levels from the goblins we fought before. If it wasn't for the generals of the demons who deliberately ambushed us, could it be said that they were sent to invade this time? Those in Yuxi City are all like this..."
As he spoke, Bedimo stopped suddenly, with an expression on his face as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and cold sweat dripped down instantly.
Lied glanced at him and said nothing more.
Bedimore's guess is also what Lide wanted to express: the demons probably did not deliberately ambush, but this also means that the army of Yuxi City encountered only a small group of regular demons. And in this small group of Demon Army, there have been existences that Alayah is a bit difficult to deal with. If this number is increased by hundreds or even thousands of times——
Bedimore looked horrified, and kept repeating:
"No, no!"
However, Li De already has seven or eight points of confidence. The commander of this battle is most likely not Lirenji, or at least Lirenji's immediate boss, Ami Fars, so it makes sense. He was a little thankful that Fang Shisan sent an army over to test it out, and he was also glad that he followed. Otherwise, after the gathering on the opposite side is completed, this terrifying torrent of demons can swallow up the little army in Yuxi City in an instant. No matter whether it is Alayah, Felita or Xiluo, they will not be able to stop it. Yuxi City will be like it was 20 years ago. Once again conquered by the demons, another catastrophe occurred on the human territory.
But since he came, he couldn't just sit back and watch everything happen.
Lid thought for a while, and said to Bedimo:
"Bedimo, I want you to lead your troops to join Qian Teng immediately, and go back the same way, to Fang Shisan."
Lide's mind was spinning quickly, and he ordered while thinking:
"Then you go to the house at the end of the 72nd Lane in the east of Yuxi City and knock on the door seven times. No one will answer inside, and you don't have to wait for someone to reply. After knocking, stand outside and say the words [Frontline Critical] That’s it, the people inside will naturally know how to do it.”
"Then you go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet He Yue, and ask him to go to the third row of cabinets from the left in my room to get two letters. The red one should be sent to Nan Chu. He knows the address. He sent it for me last time. One for him to open and read by himself."
"Also, when you return to Fang Shisan's place, tell her to withdraw to Yuxi City if necessary, fortify the walls and clear the country, even if there is only one isolated city, you must keep it. Don't try to save me, just win the battle in front of you."
No matter how stupid Bedimo was, he heard something, and said in shock:
"My lord, you don't mean to—"
Lid let out a breath and said with a smile:
"There are too many demon troops. If you fight normally, Yuxi City will not be able to resist. I can't go back with you. I will take Alaya to the north to attract some of the demons' forces and reduce their impact on Yuxi City as much as possible." Positive pressure. If you tell Fang Shisan, she will understand, and when she understands, she will know what to do. After you finish these things, take care of your wounds, stay with Fang Shisan, and see how she makes plans. "
After finishing speaking, he didn't give Bedimore time to rebut. After confirming that Bedimo had recorded what he just said, Lid waved his hand and led Alaya to the north without hesitation. Bedimore stood where he was, thinking about it, and finally stomped his feet fiercely, and led the army back to the direction of Yuxi City.
After fighting this battle where the soldiers were lost, his head cleared up a lot, and he remembered again that his strength was not in command, but in his decisive character. What Lide told him at this time must be very important. He must give priority to ensuring that these things are conveyed to the corresponding people.
As for whether to divide the troops to rescue Lide, he knew that he could not make the decision, so he left it to the people above to decide.
