Although the weather was very good this morning, the eyes were bright and cloudless...

However, Hemu Town was a bit too quiet this morning, and every household closed its doors and windows and couldn't leave. Even the bullies who took to the streets to blackmail passers-by and vendors disappeared. There was no one on the streets of the town, like an ancient tomb of an unmanned ghost creature?

Even the poultry and livestock that are domineering on weekdays are now gone, leaving the town invisibly a layer of unknown and solemn atmosphere, just as the shadow of the ancient tomb on the mountain opposite the river completely enveloped the place.

Of course, if you go to the exit north of Hemu Town to see, it is not difficult to find that the murderous aura here will be more intense! Even those insects, fish, birds and beasts dare not approach here at will?

Because, at this time, more than 1,500 soldiers of the Imperial Army had already formed a formation here early in the morning and were ready for battle!

There is no city wall in Hemu Town. Apart from the stone and wood gate to the south, the other places are at most the village houses and courtyards of the villagers. Therefore, without any danger, the soldiers of the Imperial Army came outside the town and defended in this relatively flat place, setting this place as a predetermined battlefield is normal.

‘Report~!’

‘Report to General Tulius!’

‘The enemy is coming soon! Their numbers are between 320 and 330. No enemy has been found to have cavalry and long-range weapons troops, but their generals have two big dog mounts, and the rest are all walking flame monsters holding sharp blades!’

‘The above is what my subordinates found. Please give me instructions?!’

Soon, an imperial light cavalry in leather armor ran towards this side from the road that was constantly walking and widened by vendors and travelers in the distance, and tied the reins before and after the army formation, and immediately reported to General Tulius, who was in front of the formation and wearing a big red cloak, loudly reported to all the situations he had detected.

‘Are you finally here?’

‘I understand… Thank you for your hard work, let’s go and rest first!’

Tulius did not comment. He first nodded to the scout cavalry and asked the other party to rest behind the formation by himself. He squinted his eyes and looked at the end of the road where he was originally.

Unfortunately, the enemy still has not appeared, so he still has not seen the terrifying flame demons that have been described in detail from some rumors, soldiers and Hadawa and others.

So, now he had to stand firm here with his soldiers and wait for the arrival of those enemies.

‘…’

After a while, he turned around and glanced at the formation behind him. After seeing that the soldiers' arrangements were ready and there were no mistakes, he sighed and continued to wait silently on the saddle.

Although Hadawa and others reported the incident as soon as possible when they came back yesterday and estimated the approximate strength of the monsters, as the general of the empire and the highest military commander of the empire in Skyrim Province, Tulius did not choose not to retreat, but resolutely ordered the soldiers to fight a good battle with the upcoming demon-like enemies here in the north of Hemu Town this morning!

Because they had sent people to reconnaissance many times last night, the number of enemies coming to Hemu Town was actually not very large. There were only more than 300 flame monsters on the left... But now they have nearly 1,500 regular soldiers of the elite Imperial Legion in Hemu Town, and there are more people in the Heergen area behind!

So, this morning, he chose to set up a formation in front of Hemu Town and wait for the arrival of the demons! He had to do this because whether it was for the empire, for the sky, or for anything else, he had to fight with the monsters that destroyed Xueman City and take a good look at the other party's true strength?

In Tulius's view, it is related to the future strategy of the empire to the Sky Province and the security of the empire, and he cannot be treated carelessly! Even if he is willing to take risks, he will face the flame monsters that even the "World Devourer" Oduin who can be cut off his head and hung on the top of the city. He will also get more first-hand information about the demons!

'well……'

‘May the great Eight Holy Spirits protect us!!’

Although he was full of confidence on the surface, Tulius still sighed and prayed silently in his heart.

To be honest, even he doesn’t have much confidence in fighting such a group of ‘fire demon’ monsters. After all, he has never seen such a group of enemies, especially when the other party can even capture the giant dragon Oduin alive and chop off his head?

However, they had no choice, and his intuition told him that he had to fight with those monsters no matter what!

‘Hmm?!’

‘It’s finally here!!’

At this moment, Tulius suddenly felt shocked!

Then, he saw that in fact all the soldiers saw it! In the distance, there appeared a group of monsters walking slowly and firmly towards this side.

Of course, the enemy doesn't seem to be considered walking?

Among them, there were two enemies, as the general said before, as the general said, it seemed to be the general's guys. They were riding on the backs of two strong two-headed monsters that were even tall and mighty, even higher than Tulius' crotch... He didn't know one of them, nor did he want to know them, but the other was the little girl they had met in Heergen, who claimed to be the Arcane Master!

That is...

The rumored evil demon god who burned the entire residents of Xueman City to death with a fire?!!

‘!!’

‘The Great Eight Holy Spirits…’

After only one look, Tulius couldn't help but sigh in astonishment, and put away his precious monocular telescope with a look of ugly expression.

Although he had not fought, Tulius had to admit at this time that by looking at it alone, he knew that the combat power of those terrible flame demons was probably a little stronger than what Hadava, who had experienced close distance, described? Especially... the two terrifying big dog monsters and the little girl in front of the other party!!

Because, remembering what happened in Heergen... So, Tulius suddenly realized and finally knew why the dragon was beaten away by someone at that time! It turned out that everything was actually a good thing done by the little girl?!

Unfortunately, what he never expected was that the other party was a flame demon king or an evil god who had never heard of his name?!

‘…’

‘Formation!’

‘Prepare to take the enemy!!’

After looking for a while, no longer seeing any reputation, Tulius gently tweaked the horse's head, pulled the reins and took Hadava and others back to the army, and issued an order.

In fact, Hadawa told him about this matter last night, but he subconsciously refused to believe that kind of thing... But now, the facts are in front of him. Even if he doesn't want to, he has to believe that the little girl who can sit on a big double-headed lava dog that is on fire but looks completely unharmed, isn't a monster evil god?!

'yes!'

‘Everyone pays attention!’

‘Array!!’

‘The gun and shield soldiers come forward!!’

clang!!

With the stern shouting of a certain imperial commander, the waving flags and the sound of war drums conveyed, soon, the forerunners of more than 1,500 elite imperial legion vans were in front with rows of long spears diagonally facing forward gun shields, sword and shield soldiers were in the middle, archers, generals, and a few catapults behind, two teams of less than 100 cavalry on both sides firmly controlled the flat place on the north side of Hemu Town, firmly guarding the enemy's route to the south.

‘…’

‘…’

Then, the entire formation soon became quiet.

The soldiers of the Empire began to silently pass through the gaps in the helmets and the shoulders of their companions, watching the fired human-shaped flame monsters that were emerging from the end of the mountain road in the distance, and slowly rushed towards them like a large ball of flowing magma.

At this moment, the soldiers were no longer distracted from worrying about other things except for silently feeling the heavy breathing sounds between each other and staring at the figures of the fiery red enemies gradually approaching in the distance.

??????????

The fire element people stopped a long distance from the phalanx of the Imperial Legion who were waiting for the treacherous eyes of the soldiers of the Imperial Legion who were waiting for the staggering battle. Then they listed three phalanxes of hundreds of people.

From a distance, they were like three large fires burning. Even the air around them was burned by the flames and high temperatures on their bodies and twisted the light, making their voices look even more terrifying.

However, the iron discipline of the Imperial Legion soldiers under Tulius was fully reflected. Although they were extremely afraid of the unknown flame monster, none of the soldiers showed it at this time, and they still stood firmly or squatted on their posts as ordered.

“…”

(灬owo灬)

"Hey! Uncle Virgina, can you really beat them? They look several times more people than you!"

(???.???)??????

After looking at the formation of the imperial soldiers in front for a while, waving his fingers and counting, Annie turned around and asked Virgina Grayman, the patriarch of the Huoman City Warmad family who was so arrogant that he only brought more than 300 children of the family.

After all, the Imperial Army guys on the opposite side now look extremely neat and scary. On my side, except for these two double-headed lava dogs, except for these two big dogs, they seem to be just average. You know, when she was playing around, she did not give these fire elements a larger body shape, so that under the same body shape, the momentum on the opposite side faintly overwhelmed their side?

‘Don’t worry, dear sir!’

‘These Imperial Army’s miscellaneous parts are just a group of native chickens and tiles. Just one charge can easily defeat them by the children of our Gray Maned Family!’

Virgina Grayman is full of confidence in this!

Anyway, the true god of their flame clan is next to him. Even the "World Devourer" Oduin was caught by the other party and their heads were cut off to vent their anger. How could they be afraid of the mere one thousand ordinary soldiers in front of them?

In fact, let alone the Imperial Army, even if they face more than a dozen giant dragons, they are not cowardly at all!

"That's it..."

(lll￢▽￢)

"But, I won't fight for you today!"

|???w??)???

Annie would not easily participate in this war of snatching territory! In fact, if she hadn't done something very meaningful and had to do in order to come to Hemu Town, she wouldn't have come from Peragios Farm with this bearded man who happened to march by?

(…)

(●￣(?)￣●)

‘!!’

‘But sir, if you help, we might win a little easier?’

Hearing that the other party was unwilling to help, the bearded man Virgina Grayman became a little anxious.

Of course, he was not afraid of the Imperial Army guys, but because this was the first time they used this new body and strength to fight the enemy. Therefore, he, who was a little less confident, hoped that their powerful Goddess of Fire, would help them increase their morale a little?

"I will definitely not help you with this kind of thing!"

o(′^)o

If those messy gods or demons come out to fight, then there is nothing to say. Anne must have a kick and beat those guys all over the head! But if it is such an ordinary person fighting and snatching territory, then forget it.

"goodbye!!"

(????-)?

After saying that, before waiting for a guy who thought he would help, Annie made a big face at the other party regardless of her identity, she suddenly flashed and disappeared completely, which made both her and the imperial soldiers on the opposite side stunned.
