Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 34 Demonic Changes
The city gate was broken and the countdown to the fall of the town had begun.

Six eighth-rank warriors who were unstoppable by the demons rushed into the city, and then killed their way up the city wall. The demon defenders on the wall were almost defeated at the first touch. There was no way to avoid collapse. They could not be stopped, not at all, not even with their lives.

While the six eighth-level warriors were killing countless demons along the way, the army outside the city, led by many seventh-level warriors, also rushed into the city amid the sparse rain of arrows from the demons.

The battle ended quickly. It was not because the demon defenders were not tenacious, but because the opponent's strength was too overwhelming. In the first battle after the division of troops, they captured a small city with very few casualties.

After that, no matter whether it was Eli's group or the other group, the two armies were always victorious when they encountered an enemy and captured every city they sieged. In just three days, they captured ten cities and killed more than 500,000 demons in total.

However, despite such fruitful results, Eli became more and more confused as the battle went on.

If everything went so smoothly in the beginning because the demons were caught off guard, then after such a long time, facing the coalition forces' successive defeats in sieges, the demons still did not withdraw their troops from the small town or gather their forces in one place to concentrate their forces. No matter how you look at it, something is not right.

Although more than a million demon soldiers and dozens of seventh- and eighth-level warriors are nothing to the unfathomable demon clan, they should not be so unresponsive.

The demons must be plotting something. Maybe we will be ambushed by the demons in the next battle?

In every battle thereafter, in addition to scanning the city, Eli would also specifically scan the area within a 20-kilometer radius of the city for any abnormalities. But strangely, nothing unusual was found in any of the small or medium-sized demon cities that were attacked.

Ten days later, when Eli, who had developed an army of 400,000, captured another medium-sized city, a fast horse rushed towards the direction of the army entering the city, quickly found Eli who was watching the battle, and handed him a large stack of battle reports.

In fact, Eli had noticed the messenger on horseback as early as when he entered the range of his spiritual detection, but he did not pay attention to him because he had a ruddy face and did not show any panic.

Sure enough, after taking a quick glance at the thick battle report, which was full of descriptions of great victories, Eli breathed a sigh of relief.

But before Eli could take another breath, a commotion broke out among the troops who had successfully captured the city and were currently besieging the stubbornly resisting Demon defenders.

"I...I just hacked him to death, what happened?!"

"Ah...save me!"

"Scatter quickly, they are coming!"

"Monsters, they have become monsters..."

Waves of chaotic shouts rang out everywhere. Eli looked up at the battlefield and saw his troops retreating step by step.

At this moment, at the farthest point of Eli's soul's detection range, a small group of defeated soldiers were fleeing towards him. They were Wendy and her companions and fellow tribesmen...

But there was no time to pay attention to Wendy and the others at this time. Eli suddenly rushed towards the group of demons that were surrounded. After he charged, some of the troops blocking his way gave way on their own, and some were blown away by the strong wind. Soon a clear path leading to the group of mutated demons was formed.

With one axe, Eli chopped several mutated demon soldiers into blood foam. He killed the demon soldiers rushing towards him casually, but his eyes were observing the blood foam on the ground.

Under Eli's gaze, the blood foam on the ground first surged rapidly, then floated into the air, quickly gathered into a human shape, and then... disintegrated into a pool of blood foam.

"Fortunately, it's not completely unkillable."

Eli breathed a sigh of relief and murmured in a low voice. However, when he was studying the blood foam, his troops were almost killed by the mutated demons. In addition to chopping the demon soldiers into blood foam, whether it was beheading or piercing the heart, the demon soldiers would quickly stand up again after falling down and continue to fight with the coalition forces.

This immortal ability, similar to that of the elves, caused great losses to the coalition forces, resulting in heavy casualties for a time.

"Smash them into blood foam and you'll kill them!"

Eli yelled so loud that the whole city could hear it.

Even though they had received the message, ordinary soldiers were simply unable to meet the killing conditions. No matter which tribe the warriors came from, no matter whether they were holding swords, spears, halberds, or anything else, they could not beat the powerful demons into blood foam.

Of course, high-level strong men are an exception. As long as they are willing to use their fighting spirit, they can smash the demon soldiers into blood foam. However, such strong men are not only limited in number, their fighting spirit is also limited. If they use too much, they will lose their combat effectiveness due to the exhaustion of fighting spirit. At this time, there are at least 100,000 demon soldiers in the city.

If we want to destroy 100,000 demon soldiers by relying solely on high-level warriors, we can only say that we are thinking too much.

Fortunately, this army was led by Eli. What was a difficult problem for many high-level warriors was only a matter of time for Eli.

"The entire army, including the vanguard, retreat outside the city. The farther the better. I will guard the city gate!"

Following an unquestionable order, Eli's troops gave up besieging the demons and retreated out of the city.

As for the high-level warriors mixed in the army, they fought and retreated, and tried their best to kill some mutated demon soldiers before retreating.

Soon, as Eli found it difficult to take care of everyone, the coalition forces withdrew from the city after suffering some casualties again. As for Eli, as he said, he blocked the city gate.

The demon soldiers who could not fly were chopped into blood foam wave after wave by Eli who occupied the city gate. After killing a large number of demon soldiers, Eli found that their abnormality seemed to affect the demon soldiers' minds.

The demon soldiers who couldn't bypass the city gate could obviously rush up the city wall and jump off the wall regardless of their lives to get out of the city, but after the changes, none of them thought of this.

But this is just right, Eli can cover the coalition forces' retreat with greater confidence.

For ordinary high-level warriors, the precious external fighting spirit is like free in Eli's hands, but unfortunately, it is just an appearance. There is no infinite power in the world, at least not for the current Eli.

After confirming with the soul's investigation that his army had retreated far enough, Eli, who had been defending the city gate, began to fight and retreat. After killing another large wave of mutated demon soldiers, Eli turned on his top speed and easily got rid of the pursuers.

However, Eli, who had shaken off his pursuers, did not go to join his own troops, but found a secluded place to rest for a while.

It was really just a moment, just fifteen minutes.

Eli recovered in just fifteen minutes and fought his way back to the battlefield. After killing all the mutated demon soldiers wandering around outside the city, he fought his way back into the city and blocked the city gate.

After killing countless demon soldiers at the city gate again, Eli left the battlefield again.

Just 100,000 mutant demon soldiers, do you really think you can stump me, Eli? I'll kill you when I come back next time!
