Chapter 267 As Long as I Run Fast Enough, Death Can't Catch up with Me
Nohill had long expected that the demon army would fight with humans. After all, with the participation of his teammates, even though the previous order given by the hunter demons to these demons was to encircle the city wall and avoid fighting, The moment this group of effective forces joins the battlefield, the battle will inevitably break out directly.
But the casualties displayed by these devils made Nohir raise his eyebrows. He raised his eyebrows not because he felt that the casualties of these devils were too many. In fact, he felt that these casualties were too few.
Nohill knows how much combat power his side currently has. There should be nearly 800 human knights in the military camp who can fight, while the total number on the devil's side is less than 300. Plus Ska, Minsk, and even the Iron Guards With the addition of these powerful reinforcements, under the premise of having quantitative and qualitative advantages, these devils were not completely wiped out, and were able to withdraw half of them at the same time?
Nohill was a little unbelievable, so he directly used the powerful perception ability of the crown to scan the specific number of demons that had been withdrawn, and finally came to the conclusion that the total number of demons that came back was probably nearly 130.
This number is already quite good. After all, being able to preserve such a large number under the siege of more than 800 knights and six or seven senior professionals can definitely be said to be not weak.
At this time, the group of defeated soldiers who had approached the ordnance hoarding place also slowly stopped, because their nominal legion commander was now standing in front of them, and was still questioning them with a voice full of anger and madness. fail.
Most of the legion demons lowered their heads at this moment, silently bearing the scolding of their masters, but those demons at the officer level knew that it was impossible for the hunting demons to take offense at these brainless idiots.
The only ones the legion commander questioned were the officers, and these officers also knew that if they could not use a reasonable explanation to evade this tragic failure, then their lives would probably end at this moment.
So amidst the curses of the hunting demon, a chain demon slowly walked out. His name was Fosri, and his position was the flag officer. Just over half an hour ago, he was following the hunting demon. Next to him, he used the chain to control the command flag on his body to issue orders to the demon army. When the demon hunter left the main battlefield, the army commander also gave him temporary command of the army on the front battlefield.
At that time, there were several officials of the same level beside him, as well as more than 20 adjutant-level devil team captains, but at this moment, there was no devil at the same level as him around him, and the adjutant-level devils There are only seven squad leaders left.
Fosri walked out cautiously and tremblingly. If these colleagues could die as suddenly as they did now, he would definitely sing and dance, because this meant that the devils of the same level could not compete with him for power.
But what was before him now was an extremely heavy cauldron. The commander of the army gave him the command of the army, but when he returned this right, he could only return less than half of it, and those who could and The devils he shared the blame with were all dead.
Although he was still happy that all his colleagues were killed, now he was complaining about why they died so quickly and so meaninglessly. Fusili couldn't help but start to think about how great it would be if they were still alive now. They can help him take the blame and bear the blame on his behalf. In this way, even if these guys die in the end, they can still exert the remaining value of their meaningless demonic life.
Unlike now, he can only face the wrath of the legion commander alone, and because there are no demons of the same level around who can help him take the blame, he can only tell the truth about everything that happened before.
After all, the reason why they were beaten so badly was indeed due to some unexpected circumstances, so now he can only try to use this information to hope that the army commander can temporarily keep him in the current critical situation. One life.
"Sir, I don't want to shirk responsibility, but we did encounter a huge force majeure. We were sneak attacked. Among the attackers were powerful mages, damn paladins, and a scary giant robot. And a bunch of powerful warriors.”
"Great legion commander, I'm sure this group of people has experienced hundreds of battles. Their fighting qualities are very high. Ordinary devil soldiers are no match for them at all, and they are even more cunning. They have never appeared in previous battles. But now it suddenly appears behind us without any defense, catching us by surprise. "
"At the same time, the group of humans who had been huddled in the city suddenly opened their gates and rushed out of the stronghold to double-team us."
"I'm sure those humans must have had a plan in advance, because their reaction was so fast. The moment those humans attacked us, they launched the most violent siege on us. They almost attacked us with all the people who could fight. Everyone has been sent out, and we are surrounded by enemies several times our own. If you hadn't asked the little devil to send the retreat order, I'm afraid we would have been completely wiped out. "
"Sir, I am not saying this to shirk responsibility, but we have really tried our best."
After Fosri said these words, he lowered his head and began to wait silently for the legion commander's trial. Most of what he said before was true, but he made changes in some details.
For example, the reason why so many demons survived was not because they fought bravely, but because they immediately began to flee the moment the knights rushed out. But this guy said that he began to retreat after receiving the order from the legion commander. In fact, the truth was far from what he said.
Noshil, who was watching this farce through the demon hunter, naturally eavesdropped on the thoughts of the chain demon. Knowing the reason, Noshil nodded his head in sudden realization. Good guy, he thought that these demons were really capable and could break out of the encirclement when they were attacked by troops several times their own. As a result, the truth was that these demons survived because they ran fast enough.
"Enough, you idiot! Do you really think I will believe what you say? If the situation is not very critical now and it is the time to use people, I will twist your head off the moment you fool me!"
