The Mid-Autumn Festival is finally over. Why are NND so tired every time she celebrates the festival?

As one huge teleportation after another slowly closed, the entire Fairos plain suddenly became quiet. Everyone knew that they were teleported to a place where birds could not shit. Although the air around them was very good, it was obvious that they were not in front of the village and the back of the shop, so everyone was a little confused.

However, the chief officers of those army would not let the players stand in the breeze and stare blankly. The number of players arrived in each city varies. However, before the teleportation began, the system, the military headquarters of the Hansting Empire, had already adjusted the player team. Each city was divided into ten legion phalanxes according to different regional sources, and then slowly advanced towards the north.

Nearly 100,000 people walked quietly on the land of the Figaros Plain. Since most players have war horses or pack horses and the officers in the army also rode horses, the most smell of the whole team was not the smell of sweat but the ubiquitous smell of horse manure. As a result, it was so uncomfortable that Chen Kai couldn't help but hide at the outermost periphery of the entire square.

Of course, in the marching, the middle of the team is often the safest, and the outermost perimeter is often the most dangerous. Because once attacked, the first one is often the outermost perimeter, so most players who are afraid of death squeeze into the middle of the square array. However, this safe place is also relative. Once someone breaks into the middle, it will be difficult for those who are squeezed inside to escape. When people are crowded, it is often the most dangerous time, especially when they are riding a war horse that is very inconvenient to turn around.

However, Chen Kai would not worry about him being attacked when he came outside the phalanx. According to his estimate, the system would never allow players to be directly attacked by the enemy without any defense. And according to Chen Kai's understanding, the enemy this time was those terrible demons. As long as they appeared, they could be perceived by the high priests leading the team from a distance. After all, those high priests were very familiar with the aura emitted by the demons, so Chen Kai was not worried about being attacked at all. And in his opinion, even if the demons were to attack, they would attack the two surrounding legions first, rather than the Central Legion where he was.

So Chen Kai slowly swayed on the periphery of the army, driving the unscathed Lar to slowly follow the large army. Behind Chen Kai were Xu Fei and the others who could not bear the smell of horse manure in the center. Almost when they saw Chen Kai flash out of the central position of the army, everyone else followed him out quickly. Fortunately, Luges did not take strict discipline in the marching, otherwise Chen Kai and his friends would inevitably be arrested and beaten by a military judge.

"How far is the old blood from Fort San Zela now?" Chen Kai lowered his head and asked gently the Blood Sea Peak not far from him, who was drinking water there with a kettle. Although the season was slowly approaching autumn, the Fairlos Plain is famously hot. The hot temperature made many adventurers who came here to explore think whether they were about to move to a volcano. However, after walking out of the Fairlos Plain, the temperature dropped immediately. This strange phenomenon made the Fairlos Plain less interested. After all, the Fairlos Plain has no minerals, and the hot environment that is not suitable for crop growth, no one will come here to cultivate.

"Actually, I don't know much about how many roads there are. After all, even Anderson is not very clear about the real location of the Fort Zela. The Fort San Zela he marked is about 50 kilometers away from our current place, but if that's true, then we should have been able to see the forwards of the demons. Those demons can fly. Even if they can't defeat the Fort Zela, they will send some demon legions to the rear to destroy the transportation route." Xue Haifeng replied softly. He wiped his mouth, which was still stained with clear water, and looked at the sky in the north. The whole sky was still as clear as ever.

"That's it's still far from that fortress?" Fei Yun urged his horse to catch up from behind. As a member of the scouts in the legion, he, a thief, was a little worse than Chen Kai. In addition to becoming a scout thief in the xiǎo team, he also had to work part-time as a scout in the entire legion and follow the regular legion scouts to investigate the situation. So Fei Yun was definitely the first in the team. As for happiness, Chen Yi and Wang Feifei, and as for another pastor Su Annuo, who was assigned to Chen Kai and the two xiǎo teams, he also benefited from it.

At this moment, Chen Yi was stayed by those high priests, and as the key protection object of the legion, she was protected behind the layers of soldiers, and she was still one of the only players who could ride in a carriage. As the only holy priest in the entire legion, the care Chen Yi received could be said to have made those high priests jealous, but there was no way for anyone to make the number of holy priests in the entire empire pitifully. Although it became easier for players to take up the holy priests after joining the game, the number of holy priests so far is still not more than a hundred. However, compared with the number of holy priests in the natives, it is too high.

However, Chen Yi's level is the highest among the holy priests. Although she is less than 48, she is no less than ten levels higher than another holy priest who is lower than her. After all, the holy priest does not have much attack skills. At the same time, the halo consumes magic power very much, and the consumption of magic power will double every time the halo covers the range of the halo is doubled. Therefore, if there is no strong team or guild support, it is almost impossible for a holy priest to level well. Therefore, Chen Yi, a high-level holy priest who is close to the fifth level, is extremely impressive to those high priests. It's a pity that the holy priests can only cast spells and cannot support the army in the fierce battle. Moreover, Chen Yi's largest halo covers the area with a maximum level of only 100 meters, and can only support one halo.

Of course, if there was the huge diffusion array at the beginning, Chen Yi could cover the halo to a farther position, but it was obvious that there was no such condition. After all, North Fortress is a defensive battle, and the guards had time to build a divine diffusion array. However, in the current situation, unless they entered Saint Zera Fort, there was no possibility of a defensive battle at all. And if they were not lucky, they might encounter a siege battle because Saint Zera Fort had lost contact with the imperial capital this morning.

As the leader and colleague of the entire legion, Luges almost fainted when he received the news. After all, he received the task of leading the army to Fort San Zela as soon as possible to participate in the fortress's defensive war, rather than running to the fortress to participate in the terrible siege war. The most important thing is that although Luges brought a large amount of supplies in the military supplies, there were no weapons to siege the city. Those very sharp siege tools and chuáng crossbows in the defense were not powerful at all for the fortress walls that were as high as 100 meters.

The thing Luggs hoped most at this moment was that Fort San Zela had not fallen, but the transmission array that conveyed the message had been broken or the crystals that had lost their energy supply were lost. The second thing was that he hoped that even if Fort San Zela had fallen, those terrible defending weapons would have been destroyed. If Luggs wanted to choose which thing would happen, he would choose the first one without hesitation, because the solidity of Fort San Zela made him feel scared, and he did not think he could lead a group of cannon fodder legion to capture the lost fortress.

But the reality is cruel. The more Luggs was afraid of something, the more it would happen and surpass his imagination. When he led ten legions slowly out of the Plain of Fairos, a bad news almost caused Luggs to fall off the war horse. The scouts of the Third Legion found several corpses, and those corpses were sergeants in Fort San Zera. The most important thing was that these sergeants rushed out to send letters of help and the letter was still held in the hands of the dead soldiers.

Looking at the bloody corpses and blood-stained letters of help, Luges felt a sense of coldness in his heart, and the legion commanders around him also looked ugly. Because they found that the location of these corpses was less than a few miles away from their legion, the most important thing was that the blood on these corpses was still warm, that is, they had just died. It was these demons that killed the sergeants who rushed out to seek help less than a few miles away from the legion. This arrogant attitude made the legion commanders almost jump up in anger. They cursed the priests in their hearts for the devils who were not dedicated to their duties and did not sense the demons in the distance.

However, although these legion commanders were very angry, they also knew that they had to come up with a solution immediately, otherwise the spread of the news would have a very big blow to the morale of the entire legion. But they looked at Luges, who had a white face, and knew that things were not easy to deal with. As the commander of the imperial capital garrison army, Luges was considered an old general, but because of this, he rarely contacted the battle with the demons. After all, most of the work was done by the Temple Legion. However, this time the demons were too powerful, and it took time for the Temple Legion to dispatch, so it was their turn to lead the cannon fodder army to be reinforcements. But in this situation, those who wanted to use the tall city walls of the fortress to defend themselves may have become very slight, and maybe there was a whole demon army waiting in front of them.

After scattering each other, several legion commanders came up with a solution that was not a solution, that is, ignore the corpses and treat them as the fortress without falling, so that the entire army would quickly rush towards the fortress. At least they had to enter the range of Fort San Zera before the fortress was completely repaired, and the demons they had to kill were caught off guard. Only in this way can the cannon fodder legion of players they led had a little chance of winning. Luges, who was a little luàn, agreed to the suggestions of other legion commanders, but he was a little worried and added one, which was to shrink the legion and rectify the military discipline so that the legion could be ready to enter the battle at any time.

After this order was issued, Chen Kai and the others found that the entire legion was actually starting to run at high speed, and a trace of tension filled the legion. Chen Kai, who could breathe in the periphery, had to return to the entire cavalry line and lead his subordinate players whom he was not very familiar with to start preparing for battle. He picked up the riding gun that he had not used for a long time, and Chen Kai suddenly felt sweaty in his palms. He had not practiced riding gun sprinting for nearly a month, because he spent too much time feeding dragon eggs and continuous giant swords, so he put down the riding skills of the riding knight for a long time.

But in this situation, it is unlikely that Chen Kai would cram the game even if he wanted to be zero. Fortunately, the skill system in the game does not have the function of forgetfulness. Although Chen Kai's weapon skill proficiency has not increased, it has not decreased. After a little grasp of the feel of riding a gun, Chen Kai immediately mastered the method of using this weapon again. Of course, Chen Kai is much worse than the gun knight who relies on riding a gun. Fortunately, there is no such alien profession in the player team led by Chen Kai, and most of them are ordinary Templar Knights or noble knights.

Smelling the rich smell of horse manure around him, Chen Kai guessed what was the reason why the Legion Commander was so nervous. However, due to the information blockade, Chen Kai received not much information and could not accurately judge the facts, so he could only make Xu Fei and the others feel more attentive in the team channel.

Luges rode on the mighty war horse, but he was extremely timid inside. The tall war horse could not make him feel any security. Even under the protection of tens of thousands of people, Luges still felt that there was danger around him. As he got closer to Fort San Zela, Luges' fear became stronger and stronger. He always felt a sharp blade cutting his blood, and it seemed that he saw the dead soldiers as if he was looking like him. This fear made Luges' eyes full of blood and began to slowly become irritable. However, Luges had strong self-control, otherwise he would not have become a brigade general at the age of fifty.

As the entire legion gradually advanced northward, the surrounding demonic aura became stronger and stronger. At this time, even the most dull players felt the tense atmosphere around. At this moment, all the officers in the legion put away their horses, and cavalry like Chen Kai brought the horses by their side, which saved the strength of the horses and could jump on the horses at any time to prepare for charge. As for the earth knights and shield guards, they were arranged as the backbone of the defense and were arranged on the front and left and right sides of the entire legion to form a huge defensive whole.

All the legions began to move closer to each other at this moment, and a huge square formation of nearly 100,000 people slowly unfolded on the flat ground. However, the road was not particularly wide, making the entire team a little narrow and long, looking like a rectangle. The central square formation where Chen Kai and the others were located was in the middle of this huge rectangle, and on both sides were the Third Legion and the Sixth Legion. The unlucky First Fifth and Seventh Legion were the first barriers of the entire army. Their position was the most forward as the front of the entire march and slowly walked towards Fort San Zela.

At the end of the entire legion were the Second, Fourth and Eighth Legions, and the Ninth Legions, as logistics forces, were closely behind the Central Legion, and were also under heavy protection. The entire marching formation was like a huge turtle, just a turtle with a fast crawling speed. The turtle would soon hit a terrible stone covered with spikes, or a roadblock.

When Chen Kai raised his head and could vaguely see the shadow of San Zera Fort ten kilometers away, what Lugus feared the most happened. A large number of demons appeared one kilometer ahead of them. Although they seemed to be some low-level miscellaneous demons or inferior demons of about seven or eighth level, they were much more advanced than the human legion with an average level of only four levels.

"... Brother Shui, I really want to see a fire demon. Look at the last highest one in the demon team is the fire demon?" Fei Yun's voice appeared in the team channel. Although Chen Kai is the captain of a player cavalry team, he is still a member of his own team. So not only Chen Kai can hear Fei Yun's words, but also members in other teams can hear them.

"What does that mean? That guy is just a fire demon, okay? Isn't this guy in the North Fortress just squeezed Brother Shui to death?" Zhao Tiezhu swallowed. They had a natural understanding of the terror of the Fire Demon. The terrifying flames and high temperatures could instantly burn a living person to char. Chen Kai and the others died in the hands of such demons at North Mountain Fort, and they died very terrifyingly.

"I just want to confirm it. What are the ones behind it? Scythe monster or Purgatory Mantis?" Fei Yun said, pointing to the monsters holding huge sickles behind the flame demon. The guys were red all over, like burning flames, holding two huge sickles in his hands, and they also had scorching flames. However, they were more like Purgatory Scythe demon than Purgatory Mantis. It was obvious that they were new members of the demon species, but they didn't know whether their father was a sickle demon or their mother was a sickle demon.

When Chen Kai and his friends were studying demon members, Lu Ges, as the leader of the legion, was cold and his originally a little irritable mood disappeared completely when he met the demon. At this moment, Lu Ges completely entered the horn of a legion commander. He kept asking other legion commanders around and scouts responsible for detecting the news. As for the two commanders of the priest and the mage regiment, they were already scolded by him. Because they were responsible for detecting the demons, they did not discover the demons at the first time, but waited until the demons gathered on the opposite side, and the two sensed the demons from the detection spell, but it was completely late.

"Why didn't you two eaters discover those demons in advance? Did you have to wait until they rushed to us before they could find out?" This was Lugus' words to scold the priest leader and the mage leader. Although this sentence was not particularly heavy, for the two spellcasters who have always been pampered, this sentence was even more uncomfortable than killing them. However, these two also knew that it was because of their dereliction of duty that the arrival of the demons was not discovered in advance, otherwise the arrogant temper of the two spellcasters would have been pushed up with Lugus long ago.

"Okay Luges, now I'll think about how to deal with those demons. If we drag it down, we probably wouldn't have to wait for the demons to attack. Our xiǎoji cubs would collapse first." The commander of the Second Legion, Luge, stood beside Luges, and said, staring at the flame demon in the distance. He knew that if he wanted to deal with the flame demon, he could only rely on the few holy-level powerhouses in the legion.

"What else can I do? If I don't hit the entire Zela Fortress, it will fall into the hands of the demon. We can't afford to suffer this consequence. Although the chance of winning is not great, it at least means that we have tried our best. And I don't believe that more than 100,000 people can't kill even thousands of demons." Ai Falong, the commander of the Fifth Legion, said fiercely. The long scar on his face exuded a cold murderous aura, and the strength of his own holy-level powerful man made this murderous aura fill the surroundings.

"If you want to fight, start fighting earlier, otherwise when we decide, the demons have killed all the strikers." The leader of the 7th Legion looked ahead worriedly. The demons in the distance had begun to run slowly, and the players in charge of the guards had not received the order yet and were in panic.
