Chapter 70 Delay
Blood flowed like a river wherever the battle axe passed.
More than 100,000 demon army was suppressed by the momentum of one person, and many demons could not even make a move to resist before they died.
The high-level strongmen in the demon army were killed or injured in the previous battle, and now the highest-level commander of this group of demons is only a captain of ten thousand men.
More than a dozen demon captains stayed in their own direct troops. At this time, facing Eli's killing, none of them stood up to command the whole army to encircle and annihilate the enemy.
After the battle outside the city, Eli's strength has been engraved in the depths of their souls.
Even the three main generals who are comparable to the demon king level can only withstand one blow under his hands. How can they deal with such an enemy with these remnants of the army?
Or run away...
This idea popped up in the minds of more than a dozen demon captains at the same time, but seeing Eli's crazy killing in their army, they were unwilling to retreat.
Even at the Saint level, his fighting spirit has its limits. He had consumed a lot of fighting spirit outside the city before, and he should not have recovered to his peak state in such a short time.
Now he is alone, without other high-level strongmen to help. We have more than 100,000 demons, and we may be able to wear him down.
Escape to save his life or use the life of the demons to kill this terrible enemy?
The dozen or so demon captains were far away from each other and could not discuss, but most of them chose to grit their teeth and resist, and only one captain chose to lead his troops to retreat.
The loss of 10,000 demon troops is still a big number. For Eli, his pressure did not decrease by half because of the withdrawal of these 10,000 demons, because things that do not exist cannot be reduced.
The battle axe fell, and a large area of demons in front of him turned into corpses and limbs. Because the enemy demons did not mutate, Eli could save some effort with every attack.
The heavy demon soldiers seemed to besiege Eli in the center of the battlefield, but in fact, for Eli, this was the monsters gathering consciously and letting him use group attack skills to slash hard.
But in a short while, more than 10,000 demons were killed by Eli in the successive demon army. The demons in the inner circle kept dying, and the demons in the outer circle fought to the death to fill the gap.
It must be said that some demons are indeed extremely brave and fearless. It’s just that they were born in the wrong race and did too many evil things. They were destined to meet Eli.
The bloody killing continued, and the casualties of the demon army continued to increase. It didn’t take long for it to reach 20,000. At this time, the most heroic demons had already died in the battle, and the remaining demons were far less brave than those who died in the previous battle.
The demons in the inner circle had nowhere to hide and could only charge hard, while those in the outermost circle had already faintly retreated. If the captain of the army hadn’t discovered and stopped them in time, I’m afraid some demon soldiers would have fled.
While killing, Eli did not forget to calculate the time. After his "delay", his army should have completed the burial of those mutated demon soldiers. He would kill them for a while, let them run away, and then chase them to meet them.
It was another one-sided massacre. The souls of the demons who died under Eli's axe slowly accumulated to more than 30,000 demons. At this moment, even with the order of the demon leader, some demons on the periphery could not withstand the pressure of death and began to retreat slowly.
With the first one, there will be the second one. With a hundred, there will be a thousand. As some demon soldiers frightened by Eli's crazy killing began to flee the battlefield, more and more demon soldiers joined the fleeing team.
Until another demon leader could not withstand the pressure and led his army to evacuate, the demon army, which had a total of less than 80,000, was defeated. Obviously, with their number of demons, they could tire the human saints in front of them to death, but not every demon soldier had the courage to die generously.
Knowing that they will die, there will always be demons who will retreat. This retreat will naturally lead to a group of demons. Seeing that the siege is hopeless, the dozen demon commanders who sighed and regretted could only barely maintain the army formation and start the "strategic shift".
Their orders could no longer force their subordinates to continue to charge, but when they ordered to retreat, those subordinates were particularly obedient.
"I can still kill another 10,000..."
Seeing that the number of demons surrounding him was decreasing, and more and more demons turned around and evacuated, Eli couldn't help but murmured with some regret.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved. He didn't come to annihilate this demon army. It's good for them to evacuate on their own initiative, so that his army can safely escape the encirclement of the enemy demons.
Not long after, when Eli killed the last iron-blooded true demon who was unwilling to retreat, he immediately turned around and chased in the direction of the army's breakout.
After a while of rushing and sprinting, Eli, who was much faster than the army, quickly caught up with the army that had successfully broken through. After joining the army, Eli relied on his soul to explore the way and easily avoided all the encirclement and suppression troops of the demon clan. He even joined forces with a support team on the way, which further strengthened his own combat power.
Since he had already jumped out of the encirclement of the enemy demons and successfully got rid of the pursuers, Eli would naturally not continue to hide all the way. After a brief discussion with the high-level leaders of several support troops, Eli decided to attack the city randomly along the periphery of the large war zone.
On the way to the siege, try to absorb all the reinforcements entering this war zone. The demon army in this war zone has begun to attack together, so they naturally can't fight alone.
With Eli's soul guiding the way, the army soon encountered a city occupied by the enemy demons. At this time, the army led by Eli had nearly five million people, and the demon garrison in the city in front of them was even less than one million.
With five million troops attacking less than one million, and the Saint-level strongmen savagely killing the generals and breaking the city, the city fell faster than Eli expected.
After attacking the city and killing the demons, the army did not stay in this city. Eli quickly led the army to the next destination.
Marching all the way, Eli's army ran into several demon armies on the road, but these demon armies ranged from hundreds of thousands to more than 100,000, which was not enough for the five million army to fill the gap.
Although they had experienced a series of battles, these battles were quite easy. Eli and his army still maintained their combat effectiveness until they came to the outside of a city occupied by the demons, where they met a support force attacking the city.
Needless to say, with Eli's "assist", the coalition army easily broke into the city and killed the demon defenders in the city.
At this point, the total number of troops directly and indirectly led by Eli reached 6 million. Even in a large war zone, this was an extremely terrifying force, enough to destroy any camp or city.
With such a large number of troops, Eli became more courageous. He even thought of turning back and actively fighting against the pursuers...
