At dawn, the sound of the morning horn echoed over the Ganna Plain, heavy and mournful, with a hint of coldness and murderous atmosphere, as if foreshadowing the upcoming battle. Rows of coalition soldiers waiting in battle array appeared in the mist, and Ralph stood on the command platform, his eyes both determined and helpless. He knew that the next battle would be a contest of life and death.

"Everyone, this battle may directly determine the future fate of the magic world." Ralph's voice was low and firm. Although the volume was not loud, it was penetrating enough for everyone to hear clearly: "Therefore, although the enemy is powerful, we cannot retreat. We must go all out to fight to defend our homeland."

Commanders including Castor, Irene, Bradley, Osis, Yuri, and Jinli, as well as a group of soldiers, responded in unison: "We are willing to fight to protect it!"

"Get ready! Beat the drums of war!" Ralph ordered.

As the rumbling drums sounded, the Ministry of Magic coalition quickly entered combat mode. The elven archers put their arrows on the bowstrings, the magician soldiers began to chant and cast spells in advance, and the knights of various knight orders were dressed in armor and ready to fight the main force of the demons at any time. Their figures were somewhat tragic, because they all knew in their hearts that the chances of winning this battle were extremely slim.

Under the command of Redra, the demon army began to advance slowly. Standing on a tall chariot, Redra looked down at the Ministry of Magic coalition forces that were ready for battle, his eyes were cold and a little contemptuous.

"Chelister, pass the order down and let your men prepare for battle." Redra said coldly.

"Yes, my lord!" Chelist nodded, and then quickly conveyed Redra's order down.

The demons' vanguard troops slowly approached, and their terrifying momentum almost made people breathless. The frontline soldiers of the Ministry of Magic coalition forces became nervous and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. The smell of gunpowder in the air was already quite strong, and it would explode immediately with just a spark.

"All soldiers, prepare for battle!" Ralph's loud voice echoed in the camp, like a shot of adrenaline, and every soldier felt his firm determination.

"Ready! Release the arrows!"

The demon army was approaching, and with Jinli's order, the elven archers of the Ministry of Magic coalition began to fire arrows. Arrows poured down like a storm, killing a large number of cannon fodder monsters at once. But the elite demons also reacted quickly, turned on the shield, and formed a huge black light curtain to block the arrows outside. At the same time, the long-range attack forces of the demon army also quickly counterattacked, the light of black magic danced in the air, and cannonballs fell from the sky like meteors, quickly destroying many trebuchets of the coalition and some magician positions.

"Hold on! Hold on! Shield, organize the shield!!" Bradley shouted.

"Damn it, the enemy's long-range attacks are too strong, and our shields can hardly withstand them!" Irene gritted her teeth, her voice full of anxiety.

"Hold on, don't lose your composure." Ralph said calmly.

The knights of the Knights' Order began to advance gradually, along with the magician infantry. The demon army was also ready, and as the two armies entered a close combat, a fierce melee was about to break out. At the beginning, the thousands of knights of the Knights' Order temporarily gained an advantage with their strong individual combat power, but the demons' minions were so numerous and seemed to be endless, and the advantage they had finally established began to be gradually lost.

Soon, the scene became more and more chaotic. Swords flashed, magic lights flew everywhere. Although the knights could hold out temporarily, they were just a few thousand people and were too weak in front of the hundreds of thousands of monsters. A considerable number of monsters directly broke through the blockade set up by the knights and rushed directly into the positions of the magicians, setting off a bloody and terrifying massacre, causing the magicians' formation to be in chaos.

"Commander, the enemy's attack is too fierce! Our frontline position has been breached!" Osis said gritting his teeth.

While the soldiers were fighting hard, the airships in the sky were also pouring fire on the enemies below, creating some chaos. However, the number of these airships was too small to play a decisive role.

"Retreat and reorganize the formation!! Don't panic!!!" Ralph gave the order decisively.

The soldiers of the coalition began to retreat in an orderly manner and reorganized their defensive lines. However, the monsters' attacks were also relentless, making the coalition's formation adjustments very limited.

“Boom~~~Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

At the same time, although the Osis air force spaceships tried their best to resist in the air, it was impossible for such a huge target to fly in the sky without being noticed. After discovering that these spaceships had some minor problems, Redra decisively organized several elite demon teams to take off and kill those spaceships, and let Dekar lead the team personally.

Soon, under the siege of the demons, these spaceships were destroyed one after another and crashed to the ground.

"All the air force spaceships have been completely destroyed..." Looking at the chaotic battlefield around him and watching his own spaceships being completely destroyed, Osis' voice was filled with despair.

The two armies met, and the fierce fighting soon lasted for a whole morning. At the beginning, the coalition forces could barely wrestle with the demon army without losing the upper hand, but as time went on, the continuous fighting made the soldiers exhausted physically and mentally, and the disadvantage inevitably became greater and greater.

"Yuri, Gimli, you lead the remaining troops to hold the core area of ​​the camp. Castor, Irene, Bradley, you lead the wounded and logistics troops to retreat temporarily and re-establish the defensive formation." Ralph said in a deep voice, but after a morning of battle command and a lot of energy consumption, his eyes were already bloodshot.

"Yes, Captain!" Everyone responded quickly, but there was a hint of fatigue and weakness in everyone's voice.

The human camp collapsed quickly under the fierce attack of the demons. Redra's army poured into the camp like a tide, quickly destroying the last line of defense of the human race. The small number of remnants led by Ralph continued to resist in the core area, but in the face of the powerful offensive of the demons, they could only retreat again and again.

"Captain, the enemy has broken through the core area. We can't hold on any longer." Yuri's voice was full of despair.

"Yuri, Jinli, lead the remaining soldiers to retreat and preserve their strength." There was a hint of helplessness in Ralph's voice.

"Captain..." Yuri wanted to insist, but Ralph's firm voice interrupted him: "This is an order, there is no room for negotiation. Retreat!"

Yuri and Jinli looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes. They obeyed the order and led the remaining soldiers to quickly retreat from the core area of ​​the camp.

"My Lord, the enemy has begun to retreat. After a morning of fighting, I believe we have dealt them a heavy blow!" Celister reported excitedly, "What should we do next? Should we chase them?"

"Chase them. The Ganna Plain is flat, and they can't possibly arrange any backup to support the retreat of the main force. Take this opportunity to completely destroy this coalition force, which can save a lot of trouble for future plans." Redla said coldly: "Notify them to pursue them with all their strength."

"Yes, my lord!" Chelist replied, and then quickly carried out the order.

The main force of the demon clan advanced rapidly and launched a fierce pursuit of the defeated coalition forces. Facing such a fierce enemy, even though Ralph was full of enthusiasm and unwillingness, he was powerless to turn the tide. After a great battle, the Ganna Plain can only be described in two words: corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river!

"Let the elite troops speed up and attack them from behind, and intercept them!" Redra called Dekar and said, "Don't let any of them escape. You have to do this yourself!"

"Yes, my Lord!" Dekar took the order and quickly led the Winged Demons and a large number of elite demons to speed forward and intercepted the retreating coalition forces. With their retreat blocked, the coalition forces were immediately attacked from both sides, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

"Commander, our retreat has been cut off by the enemy!" Castor's armor was already stained with blood. The brutal battle had numbed his spirit, and now that his retreat had been cut off, he couldn't help but feel desperate.

"Break out with all your strength!" Ralph said, gritting his teeth.

However, at this moment, Bradley, who was not far away, suddenly let out a cry of grief. His body was hit by a huge magic axe and was almost split in half. But even so, he still bleeds and his life force quickly disappears. Ralph watched him fall, and his anger and helplessness reached a peak.

"Bradley..." Ralph's voice was filled with grief. Since the battle began, the Knights had lost more than half of their men, and Bradley had become the first high-ranking officer to die.

The battle continued, and in order to survive, the allied soldiers began to break through with all their might. However, because they were attacked from both sides, the rate at which the soldiers died began to increase significantly. The command was no longer as clear as it was at the beginning, and many soldiers lost their lives because of a moment of distraction in order to take care of the enemies on both sides.

"Captain, are we... going to die here?" Irene's voice was choked with sobs. She used to be a proud and powerful female knight, but now, under the test of cruel war, her nerves are on the verge of collapse. Under such high pressure and heavy tests, even officers or commanders may not be much stronger than soldiers.

"I... I don't know..." Ralph's voice was also confused. If it was just a single monster, no matter how many there were, these mindless fools would be killed as many as they came; if it was just a single demon tribe, with a small number, his troops would have a lot of room to maneuver whether they surrounded it or attacked and killed it. Only when these two troops were combined, they complemented each other and made up for each other's shortcomings, and it was almost impossible to defeat them...
