Battle Balloons

The war had changed, and several options lay before Damian.

In times like these, Damian entered deep contemplation, staring at the map of the surrounding terrain and considering the possible courses of action.

The terrain of Adonis could not accommodate too many heavy catapults. Judging by the number of heavy catapults, the orcs were not far from the mountains.

With the suppression of heavy catapults and the superiority of the troops, it was possible to break through the enemies from the front without fear of heavy casualties.

The second option was to ignore the alert signal sent by the allied army.

This time, the orcs, along with the demons, invaded from multiple fronts.

The entire north was under attack. The pressure Damian was exerting had made the demons nervous, and they decided to attack the flanks on both sides of Damian's wall and leave him for later.

The human armies faced the demons, but they couldn't win before, and they wouldn't now.

With this orc army at its side, the Northern Army Corps was stationed in the mountains. They didn't dare venture too far from the mountains, so they could only implement strong walls and clear the field to prevent the main orc force from penetrating the rear.

According to the marching speed of the orcs, this army would reach the territory of Adonis in about two days.

Two partial divisions and the other were the demon troops, with five brigades, stationed in the northern part of the territory. Calisto Harden led his army to face the demons.

On the other side of the mountains were the demon troops, consisting of three brigades. They had entered the canyon and were fighting against Harden's defenses.

Due to the strong pressure from the orcs and demons in the east, the Northern Army transferred some troops from the capital. The defenders were left with only two main squadrons and four city defense squadrons, with a force of fewer than a thousand troops.

According to common sense, Damian had more troops, but he was the one maintaining a larger protected territory.

His power had spread over several defeated domains, and he had taken command of many broken armies. His financial power gave him that privilege; the taxes he paid were more than enough to keep the rich happy.

Damian called the officers of each squadron and wanted to hear everyone's opinions first.

Drogo was the first to speak: "There are still two plans. The first is quite satisfactory. Bring reinforcements to Adonis Castle and wage a war of attrition with the demons there."

"The second plan is a bit risky. Concentrate the main force to attack the secondary roads of the demons and orcs, burning the orc villages and massacring their descendants."

Seeing that many were leaning towards the second option, Sebastián immediately raised his objection.

"Will we fall into a trap if we implement the second plan? Some time ago, the orcs pretended to withdraw their troops and tried to fight in the open field. I remember more than a hundred thousand humans dying."

Because the orcs had suppressed the scouts, Damian didn't know if it was like that. A trap set by the demons using the orcs?

The orc camp was not far from this place, and he decided to personally carry out a reconnaissance mission to determine the intelligence before making plans.

As for the messengers sent by Adonis, Damian also decided to encourage them and lied, saying that he would depart with soldiers tomorrow and that reinforcements would arrive three days later.

In war, everything possible is done, and sometimes a little white lie or an absolute deception is needed to take advantage of the situation to earn more points for the humans.

In any case, it was impossible for Adonis to receive reinforcements, and Damian wouldn't risk his troops in plans where many would die.

If the defenders of the city of Adonis could really hold off the orc army for one or two days, Damian could take the opportunity to break through the orc military station.

If the war situation developed to that point, the orcs' strength advantage would be less, and Damian would massacre the demons from behind.

"The cavalry squadron is ready to depart. We will carry out a reconnaissance mission tonight. Will we see if the orcs' main force is in the enemy's military station?"

Seeing that Damian was about to lead the team on a reconnaissance mission, Sebastián felt very nervous.

"If we still have to go to the front lines to obtain information, the most objective options are not the best. How can a commander risk this plan?"

The style of the Night Guard legions is memorable. After the meeting, all the troops prepared to march alongside the intelligent puppets.

A small army of twenty thousand puppets and five thousand soldiers was on the move.

Damian at the front noticed, thanks to the observers in the balloons, two demons flying in the distance.

By the time those demons saw an enemy army approaching, Damian had killed one with an electric arrow.

Boom!

A sound that echoed through the mountains went unnoticed; everyone stood stunned by Damian's strength, and no one made a sound.
