Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 7 War begins!
The next morning, the sun rose as usual.

Eli led his personal guards and pushed open the door of the combat meeting room. Earlier, he had instructed Rondo to draw up a list of participants.

In addition to the commanders of the guards who came with him, there were dozens of soldiers from the Demon Hunting City itself participating in the meeting.

Eli had fought in the Demon Hunting City in his previous life, but he didn't have any sense of urgency at that time, and was completely in the dark about everything in the Demon Hunting City.

This time, he took charge of the Demon Hunting City again. With the memories of his previous life, he already knew which people here could be of great use, which ones were determined but had little ability, and which ones had neither will nor ability and were only relatively loyal.

Relying on his advantage as a "prophet", Eli arranged the combat deployment seemingly casually according to his own "preferences".

That’s right, in terms of combat deployment, Eli was ready to go to war with the demons the day after he arrived in the Demon Hunting City.

And unlike previous city defense battles, this time Eli plans to take the initiative to meet the enemy and lead his troops to attack the demon camp.

"That's it for today's meeting. Everyone, go and prepare yourself. In half an hour, we will leave the city for the decisive battle!"

Without a word of nonsense, Eli finished his words and without even asking "Who's in favor, who's against?" he took Jessica and Cecilia out of the combat meeting room, leaving behind a group of soldiers whispering to each other.

"Leaving the city to fight? Defending the city is so difficult. Sir Eli is too arrogant."

"If young people are not hot-tempered, can they still be called young people? I think it's okay to take the initiative to fight. After being bullied by the demons for so long, we have to fight back once!"

"It is rumored that Lord Eli is quite powerful and has never lost a match against the younger generation of the imperial capital. It is no wonder that he is so confident."

"How can one's own strength affect the entire battle situation? Anyway, I was assigned to stay behind to defend the city. You all should be more careful on the battlefield."

As a new officer, Eli had no reputation and no authority in the Demon Hunting City. However, when he held a combat meeting, all the generals listened patiently without interrupting him. This was the impact of a war that lasted too long, that is, soldiers had to follow orders in all their actions and resolutely obey the orders of their superiors.

Even though many of the generals present did not approve of Eli's young and impulsive battle deployment, they still arranged everything according to orders, hoping that Sir Eli would be brave enough to lead them to a great victory.

Moreover, the passive defense has lasted too long. The spirit of the soldiers defending the city has been almost exhausted. Taking the initiative to attack once may awaken their blood, and then the battle will be worthwhile.

Half an hour is not a long time. After a period of orderly preparation, the troops that were going to fight outside the city were assembled. The guards brought by Eli were not incorporated into the troops of the Demon Hunting City, but formed an independent army, only obeying the command of Eli and Rondo.

Eli, who liked to keep things simple, did not hold any grand oath-taking ceremony. He simply stood at the city gate on horseback, looking at the nearly 10,000 soldiers in front of him. He took a deep breath and shouted a voice that could echo throughout the city...

"When we go to war with the demons, I will lead the charge!"

"Just follow me and kill some of the remaining demons."

"Go to battle! Open the city gates!"

Amid deafening shouts, the heavy city gates opened and Eli rushed out first. Jessica and Cecilia were half a body length behind him. As for their battlefield instructor Rondo, he was left far behind and could not catch up at all.

"Elai, don't rush too fast, you're out of touch with the troops!" Londo, the deputy general and deputy city lord, shouted from far behind. "Lord, slow down, we can't keep up." The generals of the Demon Hunter City led the army to set off, but they couldn't even feel the city lord's tail.

Amid the sound of "clattering clattering" horses' hooves, Lord Eli and his two personal guards ran farther and farther away, and soon disappeared from the sight of the Demon Hunting City's large army.

At the same time, the demon camp in the distance still didn't know about the upcoming attack from the Demon Hunting City, because there was no one in the city who could pass on the message to them. All the demon traitors on this front had died yesterday.

"Cortez, when can we go kill another wave of humans? I'm almost rusty during these days of truce."

In the demon camp, two demon sentries who were over two meters tall, with broad shoulders and fierce faces were drinking strong liquor. They had no intention of standing guard seriously. Apart from them and the sentries at several other entrances and exits, there were no other guards in the entire demon camp.

Considering the offensive and defensive situation of the demon army and the human demon hunting city here, there is no need for sentries to exist. But the leader of the camp is a demon noble who has studied human culture so much that his brain is broken. Even the safest base camp has to have sentries. It's really hard for them.

"It's almost there. Another 3,000 soldiers have been sent to the Viscount from the rear. Now we have 8,000 demon soldiers. The Viscount should organize an attack tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest. Maybe we can break into the city again this time. Then we can kill them to our heart's content!"

Raising the wine bag and taking a big gulp, the demon soldier Cortes exhaled a breath of alcohol and patted his companion on the shoulder. Then the two demons continued to drink heavily, completely ignoring their duties.

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

At this time, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds rang out. The two drunken demon sentries did not pay attention at first, thinking that it was the demon cavalry in the base camp galloping on their horses. But when they heard clearly that the horse hoof sounds came from outside, three human knights had already rushed towards them.

"laugh"

"puff"

A broadsword casually cut off the head of a demon soldier, and a knight's spear pierced another demon soldier. In the blink of an eye, the only two guards of the demon clan at this entrance died.

"There's only one demon here that can fight you for a moment. Leave it to me. You will split up on the spot and meet up at the back of the camp after killing your way through the demon camp."

After a brief explanation, Eli rode his horse straight to the center of the demon camp, while Jessica and Cecilia, after receiving the order, attacked the two sides of the camp, which were unaware of the arrival of the God of Death.

Even without the sentry's warning, when the smell of blood spread on both sides of the camp, Eli, who was rushing towards the demon command post, still encountered resistance from a large group of demon soldiers.

"Get out of here!"

A huge shadow swept across, and in the roar of the fighting spirit that was pressed to the limit, dozens of meters around Eli were swept away. The demon soldiers who were swept by the fighting spirit or the shadow turned into a pool of blood foam on the spot. Not to mention a complete corpse, it was difficult to leave even a trace of limbs.

The demon soldiers in the distance who had not yet had time to rush up were dumbfounded. They saw the human knight who rushed into the camp holding an axe in one hand, his eyes full of murderous intent that frightened the demons.

The axe blade hung to the ground, and the handle was long and thick. It was clearly the shape of a two-handed battle axe, but in that man's hand it looked as light as a demon-killing toy. Where did this... human berserker come from?
