Jelly raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was still raining continuously, and his vision in the distance was very hazy. In such a situation with poor vision, the best way to face a demon whose senses far exceed those of humans is to

Choose a place where the other party also has a poor view.

Then there is an endless hillside ten miles away, and a river flowing next to the hillside with gradually becoming turbulent. It seems very suitable.

The mermaid army immediately moved towards the hillside and the river. One thousand soldiers were ambushed on the edge of the river bed, and three thousand soldiers went up the mountain as the main force of the attack. In addition, two thousand soldiers were separated to block the sides and back of the mountain road to prevent those demons from coming from behind.

Then they made a detour, and then mobilized a thousand soldiers to cross the river and hide on the hillside on the other side of the river, preparing for an encirclement battle against the devil.

After everything was arranged, the Leiyu continued to hear news from the outpost soldiers. After receiving news that the headquarters was preparing to start a war with the Demon King's army, some vanguard troops also began to report some sporadic encounters with the Demons and then retreated.

Information.

In this way, the sentries in front were passing on information about the lineup of the Demon King's army, while using the hit-and-run method to continuously move the main force of the Demon King's army towards the direction where the main force of the Mermaid Army was ambushing.

Troops from other surrounding areas also began to return to the home team one after another, and everything began to be prepared for the upcoming decisive battle.

Regarding the deployment of the Mermaid Army, what does the Lapis Gold Empire in the distance think?

Fortunately, during the two days of deployment, there was really no movement in the Lazuli Empire.

This country neither sent troops to encircle and suppress the mermaid army, nor showed any willingness to fight with the mermaid army.

To be honest, this posture of remaining neutral and standing aside is what Ariel is most looking forward to. In this way, the Lapis Gold Empire is destined to watch from the sidelines. But this time it is not just the Lapis Gold Empire family, but also other

Many empires, whether those that have been eroded or those that have not been eroded, are now silently waiting for the outcome of this war.

In this area called Liangjia Mountain, we are waiting for the outcome of the battle that seems to determine the future fate of the entire Golden Continent...

…

………………

The rain in the sky makes people feel very uncomfortable.

The continuous rain seems to be gradually clearing away the heat of the scorching summer and spreading the coldness of autumn.

Logically speaking, such weather should make people feel more comfortable, right?

But at this moment, Ariel didn't feel any cool and comfortable feeling.

Even though she was located directly behind the entire battle camp and was in an "absolutely safe" area, she could still feel the sweat gradually seeping out of her palms.

Now she had no intention of returning to her tent. Instead, she stood under Leiyu's awning, hands behind her back, patiently waiting for the news from the front.

Boom——

Suddenly, a thunder fell in the sky.

That blue-purple thunder and lightning flashed across the distant sky, as if tearing a crack into the entire sky.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this thunder that the rain that originally fell lightly in the sky began to become heavier.

This feeling is really bad...and such heavy rain will also wet the traditional elemental gun, making it very likely that it will not be able to fire.

But thinking of this, Ariel still felt a little relaxed.

But now that she was at the rear, she was really anxious. She was looking forward to the arrival of the Demon King's army as soon as possible, but also hoped that the Demon King's army would not arrive, but would stop before reaching the battle line, so that the two sides could maintain a certain level of stalemate.

Taking a deep breath, Ariel also knew that such a situation was almost impossible to happen.

All the news coming from the front line showed, without any surprise, that the demons were running towards this side at full speed.

And judging from the news, these demons no longer have the same tactics as before. They have no attitude of luring the enemy or dividing their forces to advance. They are simply charging towards the mermaid army's position in a swarm.

This situation is really unusual... Although I have long guessed that the current Demon King's army seems to have completely lost its self-awareness and will only charge, but when it comes to actually facing it, Ariel can still feel this tactic.

fear.

Under normal circumstances, when the charging frontline troops are attacked, the team will definitely pause, then look for the source of the attack, and find a way to break through. No matter what, they will stop.

But with this charging style of play, it doesn't matter if all the demons in the front row die. Anyway, as long as the demons in the rear can carry the corpses of the demons in front and rush into the enemy's line, they can start fighting.

Therefore, if this battle is really as Ariel imagined, then the outcome of the war will only depend on how fast the demons can reach the mermaid army's defense line under the attack of elemental guns.

If all those demons can be killed before they completely break through the defense line, then victory will be on the human side.

But if they charge too fast and let those demons with soaring fighting power and fighting will enter the human position before they are all dead...

Thinking of this, Ariel really didn't dare to continue imagining it.

She took a deep breath again, and the expression on her face looked uncertain.

Just at this time, the thunder voice on the side rang, and the communication soldier responsible for receiving the thunder voice signal immediately recorded it. Soon, after the recording was completed, the communication soldier reported: "The demons of the Demon King's Army have been witnessed, and the other party is preparing to cross the river!"

Ariel couldn't help but rub her hands.

Now that the river crossing has begun, the war on the front line should begin soon...

Just when Ariel was thinking this way, as if in response to her thoughts, the first round of artillery fire of this war finally sounded from the distant river bank...

“Fire—!”

Boom boom boom——————!!!

On the river bank, the ambushed mermaid troops quickly tore off the oil paper covering the elemental cannons and opened fire quickly under the orders of their commanders.

In an instant, more than a dozen streaks of white smoke dispersed on the rainy position. Along with the sound of these elemental cannons, more than a dozen bolides also flew into the sky, directly towards the demons on the other side of the river who were preparing to cross the river.

Launch away.

Only bursts of explosions were heard on the other side of the river. The demons gathered by the river were unable to dodge, and were immediately blown to pieces by the bolide. The rain in the sky mixed with flesh and blood flowed directly into the river, causing the other side of the river to instantly

Suddenly it turned into blood red.

But this didn't seem to be able to suppress the madness of those demons. The subsequent demons didn't care about the dead demons in front of them, directly pushed their corpses into the river, stepped on their corpses, and continued to charge towards the river bank here.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

While the elemental guns were waiting for cooling and reloading, the elemental gunners on the shore had already stood up from their hibernation, raised the elemental guns in their hands, and pulled the triggers.

Those demons that had jumped into the river earlier and kept crawling and swimming faced the hail of bullets without fear. After one round of shooting, a large number of demons were torn apart and gradually lost their ability to move. They fell into the river and no longer floated. But there were still some.

Even after withstanding a large number of bullet attacks, the demon still did not stop and continued to row towards this side.

"Free Fire!"

The elemental gunners who had just fired a round of fire did not stop, nor did they take a certain amount of time to reload their ammunition like before.

Following the officer's "free fire" order, they all adjusted the levers of the elemental guns in their hands, and then aimed at the river ahead again in less than five seconds and continued to pull the triggers.

A series of gunshots continued to sound, and the demons who were still able to move were finally unable to move under this round of firearm attacks, and sank to the bottom of the lake with their skin and flesh torn.

However, this still could not stop the demons behind from continuing to charge here. As if they had no idea what fear was, those demons swarmed into the rushing river again.

"Roar--------!!!"

Following another round of shooting, the demons who crossed the river fell again. But at this time, a terrifying roar came from behind the charging demons!

Immediately afterwards, a crocodile-shaped monster that was almost twenty meters long and could be called a giant monster rushed out from behind those demons!

This huge monster let out a terrifying roar while throwing away all the demons that dared to stand in its way. When it rushed to the river bank, it plunged into the river without hesitation.

"Aim over there! Aim at that monster!"

The commander here immediately made a judgment and shouted loudly for the soldiers to turn their guns.

But before the soldiers of the mermaid army could re-aiming their guns at the demon that had sneaked into the river, they heard two booms and two balls of bolide exploding right next to the crocodile monster.

With the loud noise, the crocodile monster stopped moving. However, its huge body became the foundation for the demons to lay the foundation for the river bank. The demons stepped on its body and pushed towards the river bank again.

But, after all, he killed a crocodile monster, right?

It's a pity that as the familiar roar sounded again, three huge crocodile monsters rushed out from behind the demon group again!

They jumped into the river one after another, and when the surging water fell, three more burly giant demons rushed out from the demon group, jumped on the backs of the crocodile monsters, and rushed to the crocodile's head.

, and then spread out his huge body, as if forming a barrier, blocking the attacks of all elemental gun bullets in front.

"Howl howl howl——!"

Subsequently, a large number of demons followed the giant demon and rushed onto the back of the crocodile monster. After a crocodile monster was loaded with demons, they began to slide their limbs and swim towards the river bank on the side of the mermaid army.

"Didn't these demons only charge?"

"Stop talking so much, attack! Keep attacking!"

"Don't hit the fat guy up there! That fat guy is just a shield! Hit the crocodile's limbs! Hit the hands and feet it uses for paddling! Hit that spot!"

"What about the elemental cannon at the back? Is the reloading speed so slow?! Firepower! We need a lot of firepower support now————!!!"

A fierce battle is unfolding on the river bank, but the battle on the two mountains is still peaceful.

The mermaid soldiers squatting on the mountain could clearly hear the gunshots coming from the river bank, and even heard the roars of some demons.

But at this time, all they could see before their eyes was still silence.

Across the river, no demons have appeared on the slopes of Liangjia Mountain on the opposite side.

So, did all those demons rush towards the river?

Can the defensive line here be evacuated and then all gather towards the river over there?
To be continued...
