Chapter 526: Fierce fighting at the front, chaos at the rear

In the elf settlement, countless people gathered on the streets, and cheers were heard everywhere.

Inside the palace, Futini was overjoyed when she received the news from the front line.

In less than a month, the Allied Forces broke into the heart of Hedley, captured the Imperial Capital and the city of Farrow, and are now approaching the border city!

The ministers below were delighted but also shocked.

The speed with which Ryan defeated the army was beyond their imagination. After all, they had spent ten years but had not even conquered the Whispering Forest.

Ryan almost recaptured Hedley in a month!

Moreover, according to the battle report, the Allied Forces’ casualties were less than 10%!

"Don't be happy too soon."

While everyone was discussing, Fina in the crowd suddenly poured cold water on them: "Don't forget, the Alliance Army has not yet encountered the real army of the Demons."

"Well, Fina has a point."

Futini also calmed down: "The more victories we win, the more we should not relax. Everyone should work harder to ensure the rear of the army."

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

"Yes, yes, the army is still fighting on the front line, and we can't neglect the things we need to consider in the rear."

The ministers stopped cheering and continued to perform their duties.

After the ministers left, Futini looked at Fina who stayed here, and suddenly said: "Dean Fina, I... feel a little uneasy."

For some reason, even though all the news coming from the front was good news, Futini became more and more uneasy.

It seems like...something terrible is about to happen.

"Actually, I feel a little uneasy, too."

Fina frowned and said, "The demons have been accumulating strength for a long time. If they really show their strength, it will definitely be more than just an army of 200,000 or 300,000. Ryan's army is a little... too smooth."

"Will they run into trouble at the border city?"

"If the demon army chooses to confront Ryan head-on, it would be a good thing. The only thing to worry about is that they might come up with some conspiracy or trick again."

"..."

The palace was silent for a moment, and Futini said slowly: "In any case, let's focus on the war on the front line. Now the allied forces are approaching the border city, so we must not cause any more embarrassing problems with insufficient food and grass supplies."

"Don't worry too much about that. Those two little maids are quite capable."

Fina shook her head, stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first."

"Well, Dean Fina, take care."

"You should also take care to rest, my little majesty."

Just as the people of the alliance were celebrating together, in a remote place outside the border city of the East, a dark space crack slowly opened...

? ? ? ?

After several days of marching, the allied forces successfully arrived at the western border city.

Looking from afar, I saw an old demon holding a heavy sword, riding a horse and standing alone in front of the gate of the western border city.

Ryan raised his hand, signaling the troops to stop, then rode forward alone and greeted the old demon: "Long time no see, Yifu."

"Black Knight, I didn't expect you to be still alive."

Yifu made a hoarse voice in his throat and said to Ryan lightly: "But you seem to have become weaker."

"No matter how strong or weak you are, it won't affect my ability to defeat you."

Ryan smiled slightly and unsheathed the black sword.

Yifu had no intention of challenging Ryan to a duel, but turned around on his horse and said, "I know I am not your opponent, but it is not so easy for you to take down this city.

If you want to attack the city, just let your horses come."

After saying that, Yifu walked into the border city.

Ryan didn't waste any more time and returned to the army. After the army had a good rest, he immediately started the siege.

"kill!!"

For a moment, the gate of the western border city was filled with deafening shouts of killing. The Allied forces rushed towards the city one after another, and the magic bombardment of the magicians in the rear also formed waves of barrages.

Yifu's means of defending the city are not inferior to those of the lord of Faro City, but every time a group of demon warriors defending the city die, a new group will immediately replace them, and it seems that the supply is endless.

Ryan also understood that at this moment, he had truly encountered the main force of the demon clan.

After two days of continuous siege, the Alliance Army had no results. On the third day, the Alliance Army simply used a mixture of dragon breath and magic to bombard the city walls.

The defensive formation of the border city seemed to be arranged by the devil himself. Only the dragon breath exhaled by the dragon lord Stasa himself could cause some damage to the city wall.

This time, the effectiveness of the siege became apparent. The Minggao warriors, as the vanguard, attacked the top of the city several times, but were forced back by the demon defenders every time.

In this way, the war on the front line fell into a stalemate.

The allied forces had no idea that chaos was about to break out in their rear.

? ? ? ?

"Kill!!"

Outside the eastern border city, the demon army that appeared out of nowhere has been besieging the city for several days.

Louisa personally stood on the top of the city to command, leading the remaining troops of the alliance, Wei Feng's soldiers, and the hastily recruited civilians, and struggled to resist the offensive of the demons.

Futini and Fina, who came to the eastern border city in person to support the war, looked very unhappy.

"Hasn't the alliance army already captured the city of Faro? Where did so many demon troops come from?"

Harold looked anxious and paced back and forth.

"It's space magic."

Fina said in a deep voice: "If my guess is correct, these demon warriors were sent here by the Demon King using space magic."

"Can space magic really do this? There are 100,000 elite demons outside!"

Everyone fell silent.

It’s not that Fina couldn’t think of this, but... using space magic to airdrop 100,000 elite demons sounded too horrifying.

It is estimated that not only Fina, but even Ryan and Alice on the front line could not think of this, otherwise they would not be so confident in leading almost all the soldiers of the Alliance Army to go into battle.

They were not worried about being surrounded. When the front line found that the food and grass were cut off, they would naturally think that there was a problem in the rear.

The biggest problem was that the food and supplies were cut off, the rear was in chaos, and the Allied Forces, which had been advancing rapidly, had to return for reinforcements.

If this happens, all the gains we have made will be wasted.

Moreover...the current situation of the eastern border city is a question of whether it can hold out until the army arrives to support it.

Louisa on the top of the city wall is now unable to hold on any longer. Sajilil comes hurriedly and takes over Louisa, allowing Louisa to go down and rest.

They held out like this for two days in a row, and the demons' offensive showed no sign of weakening.

The Allied Army's already fragile defense line was now shaky!

"boom!!"

Finally, under the fearless attack of the demon warriors, the gate of the eastern border city collapsed!

The soldiers of the alliance army desperately squeezed onto the city gate and started a pure head-on battle with the demon warriors, determined to keep the demon army out.

However, the swarming demon army was not something they could resist...
