The massive fleet of warships, numbering over a hundred, was divided into two groups under the command of Pioneer Number One and Number Two. They provided cover for the Chen Kingdom's ground forces as they flanked the Devil Race army from both sides.
"Hmph! Do you think this will make us afraid?"
" Alagong, send your air force over there and destroy all those ships."
The appearance of the battleship group surprised Ahriman, but he did not feel a fatal threat. However, he estimated that the air force would suffer considerable losses.
"Yes, I'll send someone over right away."
No matter how dissatisfied Anlagong is with Ahriman, he won't act recklessly when it comes to serious matters. Otherwise, if Ahriman complains to the Black Demon Emperor in the future, he will be in considerable trouble.
Squeak... ah...!
Ahriman's air force consisted not only of Two-Winged Winged Devil, but also a small number of Kamu Devil and Enchantress Devil.
Kamu Devil are a type of Devil Race with large, lizard-like wings. They are enormous in size, and upon reaching adulthood, they grow a second head, hence Kamu Devil are sometimes called Two-Headed Flying Devil. They are a particularly rare race among the Abyss Devil Race.
Enchantress Devil are even rarer. They are all female figures with long wings and are born with the ability to attack with their minds. They can trap their enemies in illusions and cause them to die. Legend has it that the Succubus Demon Emperor, who ranks fourth among the six great Demon Emperor, belongs to the Enchantress Devil race.
To ensure the complete annihilation of the Chen Kingdom, the Black Demon Emperor sent his most elite forces; otherwise, Chen Mu probably wouldn't have seen so many rare Abyss races.
"Kill them!"
Although the Devil Race army's charge was intimidating, the Chen Kingdom soldiers were fearless, and soon, large numbers of the Chen Kingdom soldiers were engaged in battle with the Devil Race.
Clang, clang, clang... boom, boom... crack, crack, crack!
Ahriman discovered that the robots in the Chen Kingdom's vanguard seemed to have become much more advanced this time, with most of them possessing the strength of a fifth or sixth-level martial artist. Now, the gap between the human army and the Devil Race was no longer two levels, but at most only one level.
However, even a difference of one level cannot be made up for by ordinary numbers, and he remained confident that the army could safely return to Moon Capital Pass.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he's courting his own destruction. Foolish!"
He noticed that the Chen Kingdom soldiers were all very brave and would use their most powerful moves to fight to the death whenever they encountered Devil Race soldiers.
Even if the humans' fighting style causes more Devil Race to die, they themselves will certainly suffer even greater losses.
But after a while, he discovered that the battle situation was not what he had expected.
"They got away? Instant Movement Talisman Instant Movement Talisman? How did they have so many?"
He discovered that almost every soldier in the Chen Kingdom carried a Instant Movement Talisman. Although these Instant Movement Talisman did not allow for long-distance movement, on the battlefield, as long as one moved a few meters, it would be much harder for the enemy to kill them.
Therefore, once those soldiers who fought desperately were exhausted, they would immediately use Instant Movement Talisman to escape behind the other soldiers, and then turn around and run towards the nearby city without any hesitation.
"I understand, they want to wear us down!"
Ahriman's expression changed, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.
Even if these low-ranking warriors fought desperately, they might not be able to inflict much damage on these elite demonic armies. But perseverance will eventually wear down even the most stubborn enemy. If the Chen Kingdom soldiers continued to wear down the enemy like this, these elite demonic armies wouldn't last long.
"All troops, listen up! Speed up! Leave them all behind!"
Ahriman knew that pursuing the fleeing soldiers would be pointless and would only bog the army into a quagmire. The most important thing for a high-ranking legion was to maintain mobility; otherwise, it would turn into a war of attrition, which was obviously disadvantageous for the Devil Race.
Upon receiving the order, the Devil Race army accelerated its movement once more. The human army, like two razors, scraped along the edges of the Devil Race army. Although the human army scraped hard, the Devil Race army was strong, well-equipped, and unstoppable, so it did not suffer much damage.
"That's it, we just need to get through these human obstacles!"
Ahriman was relieved to see the battle situation below.
The current scene is similar to when I first stormed in and destroyed No. 1 Base, except that the human army back then didn't fight as hard as it does now, and the damage to the Devil Race army was much less.
"It's no use, Ahriman. If I'm not mistaken, if we advance another two or three hundred kilometers, we'll soon be besieged by another wave of humans!"
Katelin looked worried and warned Ahriman.
"Impossible, right? Even if they wanted to hunt us down, they couldn't possibly outrun us."
"That's right, so the next force to besiege us should be the army from the neighboring cities."
"Hmph! Even if they still have such a powerful army, we probably won't suffer much loss if we pass through."
Unless they have an army like the one they have now, with four or five or more divisions, we have nothing to fear.
The number of human soldiers who came to stop the Black Demon elite from leaving this time is about four million. Even if you add up all the soldiers in Yi Province in the past, the number of such a high-quality legion is not expected to exceed twenty million.
With such a vast territory Chen Kingdom, it's impossible for them to send all their soldiers here. Ahriman estimated that the total number of soldiers along the way could reach a maximum of ten million. He didn't think Chen Kingdom could have that many soldiers to besiege him.
"You're not wrong to think that way, but I always feel it's not that simple."
Their current attrition won't damage our foundation at all; I don't think they'll do anything pointless.
Katelin was worried. Although she sensed something was wrong, she couldn't figure out what the other person wanted to do.
"Don't worry, Katelin, Moon Capital Pass has already sent other legions to pick us up."
At our army's pace of advance, if we hold out for five or six days, we should be able to meet them. At that point, Chen Kingdom's human wave tactics will naturally crumble on their own.
Ahriman patted Katelin on the shoulder in a friendly manner, telling her not to worry too much.
"Okay! Hopefully, I'm just worrying unnecessarily."
Katelin nodded, also wondering if she was overthinking things.
Given the quality of their elite troops, running continuously for five or six days without rest wouldn't be a big problem.
This is the advantage of high-level warrior legions; it is extremely difficult for human legions, which are a level lower, to defeat them in such a short time.
To put it another way, the Devil Race has already dispatched more than ten million ordinary Devil Race troops to invade Chen Kingdom from Moon Capital Pass. Even if their elite troops have been depleted to a certain extent by humans, they can simply stay put and hold their ground, waiting for other Devil Race legions to come to their rescue.
