Devil's Son-in-Law Chapter 1211: Tranquil Before War

Chapter 1211: Tranquil Before War

The ‘door’ stood quietly between the 2 estates of the Demon Realm and the human world, like the calm before the storm.
The Demon Realm’s Blood Claw Estate.
The ground began to tremble slightly, shattering the original tranquility.
The Demon Coalition Army command, which had been closely watching the movement of the ‘door’, immediately saw this scene on the screen of magic television. At the same time, the report from the scout was also transmitted immediately.
“They launch an attack?” The Demon Coalition Army’s Commander Gerant showed a meaningful smile, “The enemy’s attitude is more proactive than ours, but this is also expected. Let’s take a look at the strength of the Human Coalition Army.”
The ‘door’ of the Blood Claw Estate was shining brightly, and a large number of heavy armor soldiers appeared.
In the history of the war of the 2 worlds, most of the Demon Realm took the lead in attacking humans, but there were also some humans who took the initiative to attack the Demon Realm. Burning the flames of war to the enemy’s estate was a tactic and a strategic need.
This group of heavy armor soldiers was the vanguard of the Human Coalition Army. Almost all the soldiers entered the fabled terrifying Demon Realm for the first time. As soon as they entered, they felt an awe-inspiring chill. There were actually 2 ‘suns’, but they were not very dazzling. The temperature emitted was much lower than that of the real ‘sun’. The nearby light elements were extremely thin while the dark elements were very active.
In fact, after the appearance of the ‘door’, the 2 worlds crossed, hence the light elements of the human world and the dark elements of the Demon Realm were greatly reduced. Otherwise, just adapting to the environment would make these well-trained soldiers suffer a lot.
The first reaction of the heavy armor soldiers when they came to this ‘foreign world’ was to defend. Under the command of General Commander Riley, they formed a semi-circular formation and erected large shields to fully guard against attacks from all directions.
The main role of this group of vanguard troops was to test the water. Everyone including General Riley himself was all ready to die. However, after defending for a long time, he did not encounter the storm-like attack he imagined. Not even a person was in sight.
It was like dancing with all your strength on the stage for a long time, only to find that the auditorium was empty.
This news was quickly sent back to the headquarters of the Human Coalition Army. Originally, they thought there would be a fierce encounter, but they did not expect this to happen. For a while, the generals of the Human Coalition Army headquarters were in a heated discussion.
“General Sandro, what do you think?” The supreme commander Lex the Great didn’t directly draw a conclusion, but he asked Sandro, the famous general of the Blue Glory Empire.
“Test.” Sandro frowned, “Same as our proactive test, this kind of ‘passive’ is also a test. It seems that demons are more cunning and patient than we imagined. I believe it will not take long until there is a tentative encounter.”
“What we need to do is to test further in order to determine and establish a base for the army as soon as possible. That will be the stepping stone for us to launch a real attack on the Demon Realm.” Princess Philly of the elf tribe also spoke. Princess Royal Highness was not a vase, but a graduate of the military department of Starlight College. At least in the field of military theory, she had good attainments.
“That’s right,” Lex the Great nodded, “Pass my order, the heavy armor team will advance slowly at every step. The follow-up troops of the former army will enter one after another. At the same time, the scout team and the magician surveying and mapping team will be dispatched to quickly find out the location and terrain conditions so as to establish accurate strategic sand table information.”
After receiving the order, the heavy armor infantry maintained a certain speed and advanced carefully. The troops behind came one after another. In addition to the infantry, there were also a small number of magician troops. The most elite scout team had already split up in action.
What these magicians were good at was not fighting, but detection magic. Dozens of detection items with wings flew out in all directions like birds. They recorded and labeled on the terrain map. This detection item was called ‘Robin’, which was produced by the elves of magician city. It was very practical in war.
Soon, the surrounding landform characteristics became complete due to the feedback of various information. The mini version of the strategic sand table was gradually expanded and improved.
Soon, the image of 1 magic eye suddenly shook and dimmed. It was obvious that the ‘Robin’ was destroyed by some kind of power. Then, many magic eyes went out one after another, which meant that the Robins were all attacked.
“All teams immediately report Robin’s loss and the estimated situation.” The leader of the magician surveying and mapping team, Torrea, was a middle-aged man. He didn’t panic and continued to give orders.
“Leader, 2/3 of robins has been lost. The location of the attack is about 10-15 kilometers away. It should be a long-range strike.”
“Leader, the scout team was also attacked and all of them were wiped out. The attack method was also long-range, most likely a magic gun. According to the range of our magic gun, the enemy’s ambush circle should be within 20 kilometers. Probably due to the wide range, the firepower is not very intensive.”
Commander Riley exchanged glances with Torrea, and he pondered, “The Demon Realm no doubt also has magic guns, and it has been popularized to the army. I don’t know how the Demon Realm’s magic gun is different from ours. Further deliberation is needed. Report the preliminary evaluation results first.”
Finally, after paying a huge cost, the scouts brought back news that a small town.
The town was empty without any residents, and all supplies were evacuated, making it a completely empty city.
The other troops behind also entered the Demon Realm one after another. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the army did not enter the small town, but they chose to station in an open space for detection.
The Demon Coalition Army command quickly obtained this intel. General Crawford of the Dark Shadow Empire nodded, “Our enemies are also very patient. To eliminate this group of soldiers, we have to dispatch considerable forces.”
“There is something wrong with Terry Town at first glance. As long as they aren’t reckless, they will definitely not act rashly,” Gerant smiled slightly. “The enemy is still trying to use this group of soldiers to lure our main force. If my guess is right, this batch is just a bait that can be discarded at any time. The real elite troops are on stand-by outside the ‘door’ to swallow us. From this point of view, our opponent is bold and ruthless enough.”
Corriffin, 1 of the new 3 generals of the Bloody Empire, sneered, “Since they are willing, we will swallow them all. Fighting in the Demon Realm is purely asking for their own death. Even if they fight head-on, we are absolutely confident.”
“No.” Gerant shook his head, “This group of troops is their bait, but we can also use them as a bait. Even if we swallow the group of enemy elites ambushing behind the ‘door’, we would only eat a small amount of food. Our appetite should be bigger…”
Corriffin was taken aback, “Sir Commander means…”
“Let these human troops fall into the quagmire. Not only these, but also more troops, and then nibble away bit by bit. Use the smallest sacrifice in exchange for the greatest benefit.” Gerant’s eyes flashed, “Pass down the order now! Execute Plan No. 3!”
“Plan No. 3?” The generals were stunned, “Are we going to dispatch ‘that’ legion?”
Into the night.
Barrack of the Human Coalition Army.
“As recorded in the classics, the moons in the Demon Realm are actually purple.”
“Yeah, and it’s very cold. It is said that the concentration of dark elements here is comparable to that of light elements on our ground… The brothers standing guard outside have all issued coats.”
“Except for scouts during the day, we didn’t encounter any enemies. The demons will definitely not let us relax so much. Try to stay alert. This is our first night in the Demon Realm. Let’s hope it won’t be the last night.”
While speaking, a warning horn sounded suddenly from outside.
“What’s that?! Black cloud?”
“No! It’s dark element magic, [Dark Sky]!”
“Whole army, be on alert! Form a shield array!”
“Protect the magician.”
“…”
However, the [Dark Sky] spread, and nothing happened.
2 hours later, [Dark Sky] appeared again, and the barrack was restless again, but the result remained the same.
“It’s another feint. This is the enemy’s weary strategy!” General Riley had rich experience and immediately judged it, “However, this kind of strategy may change from fake to real at any time! Meanwhile, we can only accept harassment like this. If we just let our guard down for once, we may be attacked! Captain Torrea, can you dispel [Dark Sky]?”
Torrea shook his head, “This is the Demon Realm where the dark elements are most active, plus it’s night. We need double the effort to activate our light element magic. It’s hard to dispel [Dark Sky].”
“We still need to try even if it’s double the effort!” General Riley clenched his fists, “Once the demons’ scheme succeeds, we are all in danger of being wiped out!”
Torrea gritted his teeth and nodded.
General Riley’s worry was correct. Near the dawn, the exhausted magicians could no longer control the [Dark Sky]. In a false and real harassment, countless demons finally appeared in [Dark Sky].
Although the human soldiers were exhausted, thanks to the previous efforts of the magician, they finally got a short rest. The appearance of the enemy also gave the soldiers a way to vent their depressed minds. After a bloody battle and paying a considerable price, they repelled the demons’ attack.
Hearing the cheers of the soldiers, General Riley frowned. The attacks of these demon soldiers are extremely ferocious, and they are going all out. Some even blew themselves up with the help of some kind of item. Each of which resulted in doubled damage. However, the equipment of these demons is very ordinary. They are not as elite as the expected vanguard assault position, but they look like ordinary soldiers. What’s going on?
This victory was also beyond the expectations of the Human Coalition Army commanders. Our bait won against the enemy instead? The large army that was ready to go had a feeling of punching the air.
In any case, this war has just begun.
The Nightmare Wilderness.
A figure stood on the hillside. Half of his face was that of a handsome man, and the other half was that of a ferocious monster. The 2 faces were in sharp contrast. The only thing they had in common was their eyes, which seemed to see through everything, staring at the Nightmare Volcano in the distance.
The volcano seemed especially peaceful.
Much calmer than the previous ‘door’.
TL: Alucier? Why is he in this place? To summon the Abyss?
