Zero no ambassador: my harem

Zero Demon Envoy's My Harem Chapter 168

Some optimistic generals are already thinking freely about how to divide the Romanian region.

But can things really go that smoothly?

On the fourth day that the allied human forces entered the Romanian area, traces of the flaming humanoid forms were discovered.

About a hundred or so humanoids, covered in flames, gathered together and appeared from the side of the road, firing fireballs from their mouths and hands and hitting the advance guard.

The fire-resistant cloak, which is coated with leather to resist the flames from the small beasts, was also ignited by the power of the fireballs. The advance troops went into panic for a moment.

Archers shot arrows at the flaming figures, and even if they hit, the arrows stuck in the flaming figures were burned up by the flames in a short while, and the flaming figures neither bled (when they bled, they were evaporated by the flames and could not be seen from too far away) nor fell down. It's like a monster that doesn't know pain and doesn't get hurt.

The flaming humanoid wanders and rushes towards the advance troops.

The longblade and shield soldiers topped it and fought the flaming figures close to them.

"Roar-"The flaming humanoid had the approximate shape of a human, but let out the roar of a beast, dazzling with flames and great strength, waving its arms, and was able to blow away the three or five soldiers who stuck close to it.

The long blade soldiers took advantage of the time the shield soldiers were buying to slash multiple times on the flaming humanoid, the touch from the blade felt like it was slashing into a hard human body. And the slightest jam of the long blade, the flames on the flame humanoid heated the long blade to the point where it was hard to hold.

The advance troops, though outnumbered by more than ten times the number of flame figures, were disturbed by the flame figures, and casualties were mounting for a time.

The army's water magicians were escorted onto the field by soldiers.

Water Bombs] [Large Water Bombs] [Water Shock] and other water magic poured out with the flaming figures as targets. When the water and fire met, there was a steamy "grimace" sound, and the flames were doused to reveal the scorched black bodies.

The spearhead soldiers took the opportunity to slash at the place where the flame was extinguished, and cut off a flame figure from the waist with several blows. The flame figure that was split in two wailed and struggled for a few times, and the body flame that was split in two gradually died out.

This discovery caused the advance troops to start counterattacking, first the Water Magician's magic doused a certain part of the flaming figure, then the Long Knives and Lance Troopers focused on that weak point.

Quickly, with the help of the water wizards, the advance troops destroyed around a hundred of the flame figures. The flame figures died leaving behind human corpses with charred black faces that were unrecognizable.

As for the advance troops, when they counted the casualties, there were over 200 dead, over 100 severely burned and unable to fight, and over 300 lightly burned.

There was no way to treat severe burns in this era of this world, and those soldiers were in extreme pain.

After Hao Tian knew about it, he dropped his eyes and coldly said, "Either leave them behind and leave some of the soldiers to take care of them, they still have to endure the burning pain and torture; or, kill them now and treat them as war dead, their families will receive a corresponding pension."

Word was sent to those soldiers who had suffered severe burns, and more than 90 chose death. A dozen more were left in a clearing, leaving three soldiers to help them change bandages, feed them, and so on.

The army did not stop to continue southward.

In order to deal with the threat of the flaming humanoid, Hao parted with 100,000 troops to return, while writing to the cardinals designated by Anrietta, Joseph, Willus, and Alice to do their best to rush water carts, buckets, and bags.

The short journey from northern to central Romania took Hao Tian five days. During that time, they encountered more than a dozen waves of flaming humanoid attacks, with as few as a few dozen or as many as 200 to 300 flaming humanoids each time. Relying on the active performance of the water wizards, the scattered flame humanoids were finally resolved at an acceptable battle loss.

On the 9th day that the human allied army entered Romania, the human allied army was Chen outside the [Water Capital]. Or nowadays, the Capital of Water is still more appropriately known as the [Capital of Fire], there were burning ruins everywhere, the deep water was still burning with flames, the temperature was abnormally high, and heat waves were rolling in from the center of the [Capital of Fire].

Hao Tian and other [Quadrilateral Levels] arrived outside the [Capital of Fire] and finally felt the oppression. What was there, an extremely powerful existence, dangerous, simply as powerless as a mouse meeting a cat. It was an existence that couldn't be fought against alone? By the way, is it really possible to fight it by joining forces?

After waiting another day, the 100,000 troops that had been detached returned with 10,000 water carts escorted. Tied to the water wagons were 10 oak barrels filled with seawater. Also brought back millions of leather water bags, each soldier was given two water bags filled with about 5,000 ml of water, so just throw the water at the flaming humanoid when dealing with them.

Hao Tian divided 50,000 troops, bypassing the center of Romania Er [Capital of Fire], carrying waterwheel water bags to the south of Romania for sweeping operations. With the help of a large amount of seawater, not to mention fighting against small and large flame beasts, the threat of flame humanoids wandering around was greatly reduced. Although the flame humanoids could fire balls of flame and had tremendous power, the battle damage ratio was kept to around 2:1, and the number of casualties who were severely burned was greatly reduced.

It took three days, but southern Romania was swept away, and the flame beasts were annihilated one by one by the human allied forces. But the human allied army also sadly found that there were no more living people on a large scale, the villages and towns had become dead, and there were fire-scorched ruined buildings and flame beasts and flame humanoids wandering around.

This army returned outside of [Capital of Fire] from southern Romania, with a combined force of 190,000. The sweeping of the areas of Romania other than the [Capital of Fire] had only cost 10,000 casualties.

Now, the only place in Romania where there are still flame beasts and flame humanoids is the [Capital of Fire]. At the same time, the [Fire Elves] are also here. I don't know why [Fire Elf] didn't appear before, but now it's already going to be a duel.

"Rest tonight and attack the [Capital of Fire] tomorrow morning." Hao Tian ordered.

Chapter 68 - Soldiers of Fire

The next morning, the entire army woke up one after another, and after early exercise and breakfast, entered the [Capital of Fire] at 9:00 a.m. when the sun was shining brightly. Because of the terrain, they could only build pontoon bridges and march as they marched, and the advance troops could accommodate 20,000 people at most. There were still 170,000 troops stationed outside of the [City of Fire], and they were able to keep replenishing their ranks.

There are no flaming monsters in the 【Capital of Fire】, but instead, the frequency of encounters with wandering flaming humanoids is ridiculously high, and there are flaming humanoids wandering aimlessly around every flaming ruin. When they see a living person, they will roar, sending flames this way and that way and rush towards the living.

The advance troops used their equipped water bags to throw a wave to hit the weaknesses of the flaming figures first, then rushed up to surround them and destroy the fallen flaming figures in three or two strikes. As for the charred black corpses after elimination, they were plunged into the lake and sunk to the bottom with Hao Tian's tacit approval.

The journey went smoothly with the construction of pontoon bridges for the army's passage on the outside of the middle of the City of Fire, as well as the removal of the scattered flaming figures. Then, the lake leading to the center of the [Capital of Fire] was rising with waves of flames, blazing flames that burned on the surface of the water, and the army couldn't even get close. It was enough to fight the flaming figures with the amount of water provided by the water bag, but trying to extinguish such a fire would be a fool's errand.

That's when Hao Tian came out. There were a total of 5 [Quadrilateral Level] in the alliance, Hao Tian, Carina, Gramont, Alice, and Asya, but only Hao Tian could use the water system. Although it had only been a month since he entered the [Quadrilateral Level], he could already use the [Great Flood] under the guidance of the Water Spirit.

Reaching the lake beyond the flames with the Magic Knights escort, clear the clearing.

Hao Tian stood in the center of the clearing and began chanting to cast spells.

"HAPPY APT WALTER WALTER GELFIN." [*The Great Flood]

At the beginning of the spell, magic and vapor surged around Hao Tian; in the middle of the spell, Hao Tian's surroundings had been flooded by water gushing out from the rushing ground, and the water on the lake at the rear began to surge and run; when the spell could be completed, with Hao Tian pointing forward, the water condensed by magic and the water on the lake at the rear both boiled forward and pounded on the surface of the flaming lake in a steady stream.

Water and fire collide, steam and clouds.

Near the line of the Water and Fire War, the water steam gave Hao Tian, the Magic Knights, and the surrounding soldiers a sauna.

The lake of flames, the natural defense of the [Capital of Fire], disappeared a little under the constant rushing of the [Great Flood]. Giving way to the original [Pope's Palace].

Hao Tian sweated profusely to maintain the [Great Flood], the amount of water condensed by magic power quickly bottomed out, but the abundant water around him allowed the [Great Flood] to be maintained, and Hao Tian expended his mental energy to manipulate the coarse water flow forward in waves to pound on the flames in front of him.

When the papal palace came into view, the flames on a lake thousands of meters wide in a straight line were extinguished. Hao Tian let out a sigh of relief and fell softly to the ground with a pale face.

"Send 10,000 people up first to test it out." Hao Tian issued instructions.

The vanguard continued to build pontoon bridges and transported 10,000 people onto the main square in front of the Papal Palace.

This is the largest open space in the [City of Fire], and since it was once to accommodate all the residents of Water City for the Pope's preaching, it was built so large that it could accommodate 100,000 people.

Chapter 1.

The 10,000 hadn't gone 200 meters.

"Bam" imaginary dull sound, the tall main gate of the [Fire Elf Palace] slowly opened, and a team of flaming humanoid soldiers wearing armor and holding spears or wearing long knives walked out of the gate.

Unlike ordinary flame humanoids who had lost their self-awareness, these flame humanoids were still partially conscious, and the armor and weapons on their faces had been retained and strengthened during the flaming process. They only obeyed the orders of the [Fire Elves]. They are the current Fire Elf Knights.

Once upon a time, the four main elves were surrounded by corresponding elemental creatures, and the highly concentrated elemental environment around the four main elves was suitable for the survival of the elemental creatures, which owed allegiance to the elves to vault the elves.

But the fire elves were defeated and sealed at the bottom of the lake, and one by one those loyal fire elements of the fire elves perished due to the loss of the high flame elemental concentration environment. This might also be the reason why [Fire Elf] hated [Ancestor Plimir] and humans.

The seal was supposed to expire on the sixtieth day of the Double Moon's Invisibility, when the elemental concentration increased greatly, the four elves could exert over greater strength, and elemental life was more likely to be born. However, the Fire Elves broke the seal early, not many elemental beings were born around them, and their strength was greatly reduced, so the Fire Elves thought of transforming human soldiers into flaming humanoids to make up for the lack of battle power.

The first wave of flaming humanoid soldiers that appeared was about 1,000, only a tenth of the human test force. Then, the battle began. The flaming humanoid soldiers held spears and knives entwined with flames, and charged towards the human soldiers in flaming armor.

The human soldier threw the water bag at the flaming humanoid.

"The water bag exploded on the surface of the flaming humanoid soldier's armor, revealing part of the armor underneath. Then, in a short while, the flames from the flaming humanoid covered the armor again.
