Chapter 493: How can we fight like this?
Eastern Xinjiang.
On a certain plain.
At a glance, one could see a massive army of demons, their demonic aura soaring to the heavens, numbering in the millions. Every now and then, large groups of troops would set off, with a dozen or so demon lords undergoing tribulation or Mahayana cultivation joining forces. The sheer scale of their force was terrifying.
Since the start of the war.
However, a month later, the demon race's achievements were unimaginable.
Now, the battle lines are about to expand to the Southern Wilderness and the Northern Desert. Therefore, the entire demon army is now brimming with confidence and ferocity, eager to immediately conquer the eight territories and exterminate the human race. As the saying goes, when things are going smoothly, everyone is confident, especially the demon race.
After all, how long has this war been going on?
The victories of the demon army have further inflated the confidence of many demons.
The Eastern Frontier continued to suffer successive defeats, and half of the Eastern Frontier had already fallen into the hands of the demon race. Some relatively powerful sects had also been destroyed by the demon race. At this rate, it would only take another two or three months for the demon army to wipe out the entire Eastern Frontier in one fell swoop!
Although the "Eastern Frontier Alliance," which was formed amidst great crisis, did temporarily halt their offensive.
But how long can this last?
On the demon race's side, only two or three tenths of their military strength were deployed. Even the truly tribulation-crossing, Mahayana-stage demons did not participate many times, and the truly crucial supreme saint demons did not move at all.
With their trump card in hand, the humans of the Eastern Frontier seem to have revealed all their secrets. Many demons believe that once the Supreme Saints make their move, the stalemate between the two sides will inevitably collapse!
but.
For the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord, who had already seen the headwinds.
The sheer fighting spirit of his million-strong army, coupled with the ever-expanding confidence of the entire demon race, only served to further shrink his avian brain.
"This is how to do……"
As the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord looked at the map of the Eastern Frontier, the distribution of the battle lines, the reports from his subordinates about the army's situation, and the battle achievements of the tribal demons, the more he looked, the more panicked he became.
Their performance was absolutely fantastic!
Even the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord was surprised by how good it was!
The resistance of the human forces in the Eastern Frontier was weak and they suffered repeated defeats, while the demon race advanced triumphantly and was unstoppable!
Even one faction, with a sect leader at the tenth level of the Mahayana realm in charge, only lasted seven days before being wiped out by the demon race's grand lords' hunting party, thus achieving the greatest victory.
It seems that none of the supreme saints and powerful beings of the Eastern Frontier have appeared.
However, as long as they dare to show themselves, the three Supreme Saint Demon Lords will come out to hunt them down. As long as they are captured and defeated one by one, although it is difficult to kill the Supreme Saint cultivators, they can still make them unable to gain an advantage in the battle.
But it was precisely because the demon race had such a good start.
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord realized that something bad was about to happen.
Because the demon race attacked too quickly and fiercely, it frightened the humans, forcing them to form the so-called "Eastern Frontier Alliance" to band together!
Once high-level human cultivators choose to band together instead of going it alone, the targeted hunting by the demon race becomes largely ineffective.
It can be said.
The demon race's method for a quick victory has been broken.
This is completely contrary to the plan of the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord. It is indeed necessary to fight a quick battle, but that can only be a "secret" quick battle. The key to victory lies in quickly hunting down the human powerhouses in the Eastern Frontier, rather than the unstoppable advance of the demon army!
Even with the full support of military formations and magical treasures, this million-strong demon army, even if capable of dealing with a Saint-level cultivator, could never be equal to them.
Because a supreme cultivator can come and go freely, a million-strong army is bloated and cumbersome, and can even be controlled as a whole, just like an extension of one's own arm, it is still far inferior to a single individual.
If the initial battle is somewhat difficult, it will be enough to lull the humans into a false sense of security, giving them more time to hunt down powerful human warriors. Once they have killed enough, the army will launch a full-scale attack.
But that's just the nature of the demon race.
Even if they tried to strengthen their army by imitating the armies of human dynasties, their inherent "fierceness" and "wildness" ultimately ruined everything.
Such is the nature of the demon race; how can it be changed?
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord's current predicament is something he feels he can no longer resolve.
When he received the news that the Eastern Frontier Alliance had been established to jointly resist the invasion of the demon race, the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord's heart sank.
The method of quick victory is no longer effective.
Even if the demon race manages to break through the Eastern Frontier Alliance's lines, the enemy's tribulation-crossing experts can band together to push back. The demon race will inevitably have to bring out their own powerful demons to fight them. As the battle goes on, won't this turn into a war of attrition, a contest of resources?
It would be incredibly easy for humans to wear down the demon race!
Their sheer numbers are the demon race's most fatal weakness.
If the Eastern Frontier region is no good, then the other seven regions can easily contribute their efforts, and the demon race will have no chance.
These battle reports contain...
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord has already learned that, facing the targeted siege by the great demons of the demon race, the Eastern Frontier Alliance has begun to devise a countermeasure. By turning the tables on them, three great demons of the Mahayana stage have already fallen into the ambush, all of them seriously injured, and one of them is even on the verge of death! The method of the ambush is also very simple.
A powerful figure was used as bait, and the rest were left to fish. And the demons took the bait on their first use of this simple yet cunning trick.
Just like humans, the demon race can also be caught off guard.
The reason why the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord's heart was still not cold was because of the pressure from the Myriad Demon Emperor.
All I can say is that Yun Jun Demon Lord felt that his responsibilities as the commander of the demon race were too heavy, but the arrow was already on the string and had to be released, not to mention that he had already fought his way here and was in a difficult position.
There was no other choice.
Yun Falcon Demon Lord felt that he had no other choice.
We must get to the bottom of this with the Demon King!
The demon race has already lost the war. They may win countless smaller battles in the future, but they will inevitably lose the big one in the end.
The best course of action now is to find a way to cease hostilities, preserve the existing gains, and not seek anything more.
A ceasefire is not a problem.
After all, the humans all have their own agendas, and the lost territory never belonged to them in the first place. As long as we stand firm now, the demon race still has strength, and with the three supreme demon lords and the ten thousand demon emperors around, they certainly won't dare to ask for it back!
After all, no one would want to ask for something from someone who is already dead, let alone risk getting themselves into trouble.
The territory of the Demon Realm is half the size of the Eastern Frontier, and along with the abundant resources they receive, the gains are already quite substantial.
then.
He came before the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Your Majesty, I have a battle report to present."
"Word."
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, this battle is probably... coming to an end."
Under pressure, the Demon Lord Yun Falcon spoke with difficulty: "Your Majesty, please reconsider. My Demon Realm has already lost the chance of victory. If we continue fighting, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy casualties."
"Your Majesty, please sound the retreat. Perhaps we can still preserve the vast territories occupied by our demon realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the oppressive aura emanating from the Demon Emperor turn icy cold.
