Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 113 Delay
Leading the remaining army, Eli set out on his return journey.

During the march, they encountered many lost remnants of the defeated army, but because the Legion of Light had already left, they could not tell whether there were spies among them. They could only gather them one by one and form a single team.

In addition to the lost allied soldiers, they also occasionally encountered scattered groups of demons along the way. Usually, a simple charge could take care of them.

As for the large-scale and organized demon army, they had never encountered it. It seemed that the huge army that had attacked them at night had completely collapsed.

After marching for two days, they gradually stopped encountering their own defeated soldiers and scattered demon soldiers, so Eli and his men naturally marched faster.

As they hurried, they were getting closer and closer to the area taken over by the rear of the hundreds of races. If no pursuers from the demon race came to intercept them, within three days, the dragons would return to the sea, and the human race's geniuses would be able to roam freely.

By that time, if the demons wanted to kill Eli again, they would have to go deep into the territories of hundreds of tribes, and the difficulty would increase by more than ten times.

In fact, it’s not that the demons don’t want to kill Eli halfway, but the power they have currently gathered is not enough to fight against him.

After all the Saint-level warriors were killed by Eli, and countless demons were ambushed and annihilated by Eli's army and the Legion of Light, the remaining demons in the vicinity were still able to gather an army of nearly 100 million, but the gap between the two sides in high-end power was too obvious.

Now there are only six saints in Eli's army, one of whom is a powerful saint who has not yet recovered from his injuries. The remaining saints of the demon clan actually still have the advantage in numbers, and it seems that they still have the strength to fight.

But in fact, apart from those saints who are there to make up the numbers, Eli alone is at least comparable to more than thirty demon saints. This has been confirmed by the demons with their demon lives.

As long as Eli, the human race's genius, maintains his fighting power, the demons here will have no chance of killing him.

Now, it depends on whether Eli and his team can move faster, or the support sent by the demon base can move faster.

However, the enemy army led by Eli was very close to the territory they had recaptured, but the reinforcements from the base camp had not arrived yet.

They might have to block the road and risk their lives, using the lives of their soldiers to slow down their march, the longer the better.

Another day has passed...

On Eli's march, demons that had previously been nowhere to be seen suddenly began to appear everywhere. Although the number of demons that appeared each time was not large, these demons were extremely slippery, and it took a lot of effort to annihilate them each time.

It would be fine if such harassment happened once or twice, but if it happened too often, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. The enemy demons were obviously trying to delay them.

"If we encounter demons again, we don't need to care about those that we can't kill on the spot. Move forward at full speed!"

As Eli's representative in the military, Rondo issued orders to the entire army.

To be on the safe side, he also sent out dozens of separate teams to deal with the harassing demon squads.

However, the demons were willing to spend a huge amount of money to prevent the coalition forces from advancing. Seeing that the harassment was difficult to succeed, the demons simply pulled out a million troops and blocked the coalition forces' way in a narrow area.

Although the coalition forces, which had been defeated once, no longer had the courage they had at the beginning, they still had tens of millions of soldiers. No matter how strong the demon soldiers were, it was impossible for them to defeat dozens of them with one.

Even though the terrain they chose was narrow and it was difficult for the army to deploy, under the leadership of the Eli Vanguard, the million-strong army was still killed all the way. But surprisingly, after breaking through the demon defense line, what awaited Eli and his men was not a smooth road, but a million mutant demon soldiers.

Faced with such a large number of mutated demon soldiers, Eli's vanguard team was still unable to handle it alone even after several reinforcements. They could only waste some time and work with the newly recruited undead demon army to solve the problem together.

After much difficulty, they killed and moved away the mutated demon soldiers that blocked the way, but what appeared in front of Eli's army next was a million demon soldiers who were somewhat timid but ignorant of the danger.

"It seems that the demons are determined to hold us back. Let the soldiers kill them without restraint. Since they are willing to die, we are willing to bury them!"

The demon clan's rogue tactics were truly disgusting. With their military strength, it would be enough to set up a hundred checkpoints for them if they didn't collapse halfway.

Are you a man enough to break through a hundred levels? Since you don’t care about the lives of your men, why should I be polite to you?

Following Eli's order, the coalition soldiers, led by many high-level warriors, charged straight into the demon army. The purpose of the demons setting up checkpoints here was only to stop Eli's army, not to fight a decisive battle with them.

Therefore, in order to avoid the sacrifice of the more precious high-level strong men and the extremely precious saint-level strong men, they sent out low-level magic soldiers, among which the highest commander was only a captain of ten thousand men.

With such a weak army facing the powerful enemy coalition forces head-on, it really can't do anything except delay them at the cost of its life.

What Eli and the others couldn't understand was that, although it was clearly a mission to commit suicide, these demons blocking the road did not collapse at the first touch, and even dared to fight back occasionally. They were not so brave before.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as the demons are actually killed, it will be a good thing.

This narrow road is limited after all, and there are not a hundred checkpoints that can be set up here. After Eli led his army to break through more than twenty lines of defense of the demon clan, the view in front of him suddenly opened up.

After the previous delay, the sky was already beginning to darken. Even though they had won battles one after another, the allied soldiers were hungry and tired.

It was obvious that the demons would never give Eli's army time to set up camp and rest. The darker the sky, the more advantageous it would be for the demons.

Taking advantage of the nightfall, the demons dared to take the initiative to attack the coalition forces even in the open areas.

Fortunately, after fighting all the way, the vanguard troops were mainly tired, while Eli's central and rear troops still had good energy and physical strength.

The front army retreated, the central army took the lead, and some high-level warriors who still had strength left continued to lead the army to fight against the invading demon army. In order to ensure that the army would not suffer losses in the darkness, the saints also attacked with the army while trying their best to preserve a certain amount of combat power, and crushed the enemy demons severely.

Because the strongest and most terrifying Saint Eli has not yet taken action in the coalition, the enemy demons still dare not send high-level and saint-level strongmen to die.

When the enemy demons have no high-end combat power and their own saints are slaughtering at will, even the demons at night are not so scary, and the soldiers of the coalition forces can fully withstand their night attacks.

That night, the demons still suffered heavy casualties in the darkness, and the two armies fought until dawn before retreating.
