Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 179 The Unlucky Baron Quimper (1)
Brittany, barony of Quimper, near the village of Ergoa.
After a burst of lightning, a group of demons were teleported out.
"Ow!"
Seeing the forest with singing birds and fragrant flowers, the demons burst into joy.
The leading demon was a Hill Demon, and he immediately ordered: "Go and see if there is anything to eat!"
So the timid demons dispersed in droves, and started hunting wild beasts in the forest in twos and threes. Not to mention herbivores, which become food if they cannot escape. Carnivores such as tigers, leopards, and wolves are no match for the little devil. After all, they also have second- and third-level strength and powerful minions.
The difference between Warcraft and ordinary beasts is that they are physically stronger and can cast innate spells, but there is only one type, which can be used two or three times a day. But the number of monsters was relatively small, and even if they encountered one or two, they would be surrounded and killed by the little devils.
After the injured little devil ate the flesh and blood of beasts and monsters, his wounds stopped immediately, and I believe it won't take long to recover.
After feasting, the demon began to look for human villages. Hill Demon just saw the beacon fire set off by humans on the top of the mountain, so he believed that there must be a village nearby and he would always find it.
It can be said that this team of demons was lucky. They found a road as soon as they walked out of the forest. As mentioned before, except for the farmland around the villages and towns, the rest of the mainland is primitive terrain such as forests, grasslands, and wastelands, and there is only one road connecting the villages.
This means that as long as the demons find a road, whether going left or right, they can reach an inhabited place, so one day later, they found the village of Elgoa.
After seeing the beacon fire ignited, the village chief arranged for people to notify the villagers to pack up their belongings and evacuate to a nearby village, and the sheriff summoned the militia to escort them.
There is nothing that can be done about it. There are more than a dozen villages and towns in the entire Baron of Quimper but there are only three knights (of which the baron has five villages and one town, the three knights have one village each, and the two lords have two villages each).
After the news of the demonic disaster was released, Baron Quimper asked people to organize villagers to repair walls, recruit and train soldiers, and prepare weapons. Although time was tight, he also organized an army of more than 300 people, and each village also trained the militia.
But because he didn't have enough knights, he couldn't divide his troops. He could only concentrate in the town and intensify training. Wherever he found the devil, he sent people to rescue them. It was impossible to expect the militia to resist in this situation. Since the village was destined to be unable to defend itself, the only thing to do after discovering the devil was to run away quickly.
Most villagers do not have large livestock such as cattle and horses to help carry things. At most, they only have a small cart. The things they can carry are limited, so most things cannot be taken away when they retreat.
When the devil entered the village and found that everyone had fled, he naturally began to rob and destroy the village. Temples were demolished, altars smashed, houses burned, supplies burned, fields burned, and raging fires could be seen in the neighboring villages at night. After setting the fire, the demon didn't stay long and chased the humans along their escape route.
Although humans discovered the arrival of the demons a day in advance, it took time to pack up and organize a retreat. The villagers are not an army. They can set off with a single order. They have to take this one with them even if they don't want to leave it. Time is quickly wasted.
Besides, how could the walking speed of villagers dragging their families and carrying things on their backs compare with that of a demon with empty hands? The demon could chase him for a whole day without rest, but humans couldn't do that.
The bad news is that the demons caught up with the humans' escaping team. The good news is that the humans hid in Loperek Village at the last moment. The better news is that support from two knights leading two hundred soldiers has arrived. The worse news is that a group of demons suddenly appeared outside the village, led by a Babu Demon.
The devil was already in front of us, and it was impossible for humans to run away. Being caught up in the wild without the village wall would mean death. The two big demons communicated for a while, and then launched an attack with the cowardly demons, leaving no time for humans to prepare.
All villages on the mainland are walled, mainly to prevent wild beasts from sneaking in at night and harming people and livestock, but most of them are wooden.
For example, in the village of Loperek, four-meter-high logs are tied together, and there are supports at the back at intervals. There is no problem in protecting against wild beasts, but when it was built, soldiers were not considered to stand on it to fight. It was just a row.
It looks like this, but the wooden sentry towers are only on both sides of the gate.
It is not difficult to cut a gap in the wooden wall with the power of the big devil. The cowardly devil's claws can attack the wood several times and break the wood. More importantly, the little devil's claws can grab into wood and climb up walls.
At first, the human soldiers could use their bows and arrows to throw them through the wooden wall and cause some damage. Later, the timid demons climbed over the wall and landed on the ground. They were stabbed to death by the swarming humans with random spears, and more than a dozen of them were killed.
But when a large number of demons destroyed the wooden wall and rushed in, humans could not resist it. Two knights were able to stop two big demons, but two hundred soldiers and two hundred militiamen couldn't stop more than three hundred little demons.
They are said to be soldiers, but they were civilians a week ago and had no combat experience. And the weakest among those little demons had killed other creatures in the abyss, so they couldn't be compared at all.
At the beginning, Stewart led two hundred fully armed soldiers to fight against more than 150 timid demons. There were also veterans who had participated in actual combat as the backbone. For the sake of safety, they still relied on the turtle formation lined up on the wall. The equipment of this group of soldiers now only has iron helmets, leather armor, long swords, and spears. How could they withstand the attack of the little devil?
With the little devil's vitality, even if he is fatally wounded, he will not die immediately. However, as long as a human soldier is caught, his sharp claws will tear off a few strips of flesh, and he will die on the spot or lose his combat effectiveness.
They only had a slight advantage in numbers, but basically no advantage in equipment. After the Coward Demon killed dozens of them with a single charge, the soldiers collapsed and could no longer maintain their formation. The soldiers who were out of formation fought on their own, some wanted to resist and some wanted to run away, but the result was the same, they were all targets of the cowardly demon's massacre.
Seeing the soldiers being slaughtered by demons, the people in the village started running for their lives like crazy. At this time, they didn't care about taking anything with them. When the little devils saw so many humans, they dispersed and chased them.
Seeing his side's victory, the big devil strictly ordered the victorious little devils to come over and help. Although most of them ran away, dozens of them were finally called over and joined the battle besieging the knights.
The two knights saw that the soldiers were defeated and the villagers were slaughtered by the little demons. Their morale was greatly damaged and they had already begun to retreat while fighting. But the new little devils who joined the battle not only blocked their retreat, but also accelerated their defeat with sneak attacks from time to time. In the end, the two big devils killed the knights at some cost.
