Zero no ambassador: my harem

Zero Demon Envoy's My Harem Chapter 253.

Then again, the central fortress of the canal, with only 10,000 defenders, they all became nervous after learning that the Goliath border castle had been destroyed, when 10,000 flame figures had appeared. Even though it was built by the canal and had plenty of water, if 10,000 flame figures came together to attack, the garrison leaders didn't think that 10,000 soldiers could hold out. The generals stationed here in each country asked for help from their own countries, Albion, Goliath, and Kelmania ignored them, while the army sent by Torristine along the sea route finally bypassed the western ocean of the continent and passed through the canal to reach the canal fortress in the middle of the canal.

The garrison generals surrendered the command of the little force in their hands as soon as they saw the visitor.

It was Hao Tian, who arrived here with 40,000 troops drawn from Gramont, Valier, and the Queen's Crowned Legion. Accompanying him were Louise, Tiffania, and Alia. Louise and Tiffania's strength didn't need to be repeated, while Alia had been relieved of the effects of [The Mercy of the Beginning] by Hao Tian two years ago, and after two years of recovery and exercise, the broken Alia's strength could already threaten any quadrilateral.

Hao Tian took over the command of the Canal Fortress with a combined force of 50,000 troops. With no intention of strengthening his defenses, Hao Tian sent 10,000 soldiers along both sides of the canal to begin sweeping the flaming figures from the Canal Fortress eastward until the Fire Elf Lake. The flame humanoids that were once scattered in the Romanian region by Star Luo now seemed to be organized, and except for a few battlefields nearby, they rarely saw a single flame humanoid.

Confirming that there were no flame humanoids in the kilometer range around the line from the Canal Castle to the Fire Elf Lake, Hao Tian began to shift his troops to the vicinity of the Fire Elf Palace. The original castle for surveillance had been in ruins, and Hao Tian temporarily set up a stronghold that held 10,000 people, with houses and everything else improvised with tents first.

From the time he received the collapse of the Goliath border castle, Hao Tian noticed that there were 10,000 flame humanoids, which meant that the number of flame humanoids was able to be replenished, and where the flame humanoids appeared from was naturally the fire elf palace. On the other hand, the attack of the flame humanoid was organized, the general flame humanoid had no intelligence, but like the Duke of Glendt Infernal Dragon and those fire elven corps leaders retained their complete intelligence, those captain level officers also had some thinking ability, this part of the flame humanoid was the brain of the flame humanoid corps, as long as they could behead these flame humanoid, no intelligence scattered action of the flame humanoid Only to be wiped out one by one by a team of specially targeted soldiers.

Hao Tian rebuilt his stronghold outside the Fire Elf's palace to monitor and contain the newly emerged flame humanoid. In the event that the enemy could not be defeated, they could quickly retreat from the canal to the canal fortress as well.

Hao Tian stayed in the stronghold that night with 10,000 soldiers, and the night watch was set at 200 soldiers each, for a total of 3 groups.

Then late at night, the stronghold was awakened by the sound of the night watch soldiers ringing bells.

Hao Tian opened his eyes and walked out of the tent.

"General, look, there."

Two lieutenants of the night watch rushed over, and Hao Tian climbed the wooden tower and looked towards the Fire Elf Palace.

A golden-red bridge of light lay across the night, and a line of flaming humanoid figures entwined with orange and yellow flames poured out from one end of the bridge towards the other.

The number was roughly estimated at around a thousand.

"Sure enough." Hao Tian came down from the sentry tower and rallied the soldiers.

Torches were lit at intervals in the according point, and the soldiers who woke up from their sleep received orders from their colleagues and officers, and one by one, they donned their equipment and converged on the central square of the stronghold.

Hao Tian doesn't bother to tell the soldiers that they have 10,000 men and that the enemy is a thousand flaming figures, and then orders that they will attack with him.

The soldiers roared as Hao Tian poured out of the stronghold and blocked the other side of the light bridge.

The light bridge was about 10 meters wide, and the human soldiers could fit about 10 people in parallel, the taller flame humanoid could only fit 6 people in parallel if they were taller. Hao Tian concentrated the shield soldiers to the front of the light bridge, the shield soldiers to the left and right of the lance soldiers, while behind the shield soldiers were water bag soldiers or throwing soldiers. Thousands of torches were lit near the exit of the light bridge to provide illumination for the soldiers.

The flaming human forms on the light bridge came slowly, spreading across the entire light bridge and occupying only a portion of it.

The human soldiers' breathing became heavy, their palms sweaty, and they stared nervously at the distant flames. The flaming human forms gathered in the night could only see the flames, but could not distinguish the shapes within them.

"Water Bag Soldiers prepare." Hao Tian spoke out when the flame figures were 50 meters away.

There was a rustling sound.

The flame figure had 30, 25, 20, 15 meters to go.

The shield soldiers at the forefront could already see the hideous face of the flame humanoid.

13 meters, 10 meters, 8 meters.

"Throw!!!"

Ordered by Hao Tian, the water bag soldier threw the five kilogram water bag towards the flame figure not far away as if relieved. "Bang, bang, bang," the water bags hit the flame figures, a full thousand water bags fell into the front part of the flame figure formation, the water flow scattered, hundreds of flame figures turned into drowning chickens, and the flames outside their bodies were temporarily extinguished.

"Shield Troopers retreat, Lance Troopers assault!!!"

Hao Tian's order caused a bit of a commotion among the unskilled soldiers who cooperated, the ones who retreated and the ones who assaulted and the ones who bumped into each other, but there were still two or three hundred lancers who rushed up the light bridge towards the flaming figures who lost their flame protection and stabbed them with their lances.

"Ahhhh, kill."

Human lance soldiers and flame humanoid collided together, because of the limitation of the width of the light bridge, each other can't be fully expanded, the advantage of human soldiers, especially lance soldiers is reflected, flame soldiers wielding weapons will also hit their companions, the movement is hindered. The lance soldiers only need to thrust forward, and from the gap between the two lance soldiers the back row of lance soldiers can also thrust out. That's the equivalent of 20 lances stabbing 6 flame soldiers at once.

In the narrow hedge, flame soldiers and human soldiers are both dead as well as wounded and in the water. Limiting the battlefield to the exit of the Light Bridge, with the lake below, human soldiers who fall into the water can swim back to the shore, while flame humanoids who fall into the water are dead.

Hao Tian watched the flame figures, and when those flame extinguished flame figures were almost dry, Hao Tian gave the order.

"Lance Troopers retreat. Water Bag Soldiers prepare, Shield Soldiers prepare for impact."

Most of the lance soldiers retreated as ordered, while some of them were fond of not fighting and were killed by the flame-raising figures that were replenished behind them.

After the lancers retreated, the shield troopers filled in the gap and held their shields up against the bridge.

"Waterbag soldiers, release." The next wave of flaming figures came up, and the water bags filled in time.

Then the flames on their bodies were extinguished, and the steamy flaming figures collided with the shield troopers. Even though the flame figures were large and powerful, they had trouble rushing away.

"Lance Troopers, attack."

The shield soldiers were at the front, and the lance soldiers on both sides were holding three-meter long lances to stab the nearby flame figures.

But a portion of the flame figures in the middle of the light bridge couldn't be reached, and the efficiency of elimination was limited.

Hao Tian slightly thought: "Shield Troopers, 20 columns in the middle retreat slowly. Lance Troopers, fill in the gaps of the shield troopers."

The shield soldiers were blocking the light bridge, but now the middle ones withdrew backwards, forming a concave shape and putting some of the flame figures into the gaps in it. The lancers then stabbed through the middle of the shield troopers with their guns. In this way, the contact surface between the human soldiers and the flame figures became larger, and the killing became more efficient.

"Water Bag Soldiers ready, -, release." Hao Tian kept an eye on the state of this flame humanoid.

According to the point right on the edge of the lake, the water source could be said to be endless, and the water bag soldiers were also rotated in three shifts, withdrawing when the water bag was used up. There was also a part of the idle ones that jumped into the lake to retrieve those thrown out water bags, keeping the number of water bags at all times.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the flame figures were all annihilated. After counting the casualties, there were only more than two thousand, all of them were shield soldiers, lance soldiers, and the like who were directly confronted were killed by the flame figures due to lack of strength or something; and none of the water bag soldiers died.

Having won a small battle, Hao Tian closed his troops back to his stronghold, and the night watch still had to be kept for the soldiers.

Chapter 4: The Worst Emperor.

On the first day of the reappearance of the flame figures, 10,000 flame figures broke down the human surveillance fortress outside the Fire Elf lake. On day 2, the flame figures dispersed throughout the Romanian region. From day 3 to day 7, the flame figures fought with the Canal Fortress, Goliath and Kelmanian border castles. On day 8, the flame figures suddenly gather 10,000 and breach the Goria border castle. Day 9, Hao Tian arrives at the Canal Fortress and moves that night to build a stronghold outside the Fire Elf Lake, blocking and destroying 1,000 flame humanoids on the Light Bridge in the middle of the night.

On the 10th day, Hao Tian wakes up and mobilizes lance and shield soldiers from the Canal Fortress to fill the depletion on this side of the stronghold. Then, Hao Tian ordered the soldiers to start relying on the stronghold to build a castle. Because the surrounding buildings and forests were burned to ruins by the flaming figures, the materials to build the castle needed to be brought in from other places, in order to save time, not from the Torristine mainland, but by borrowing Golia and Albion, two countries with 200 kilometers of coastline in the south of the continent, to gather from the land to the seaport, and then depart along the coast road to transport the wood, stone, etc. to Hao Tian's location via the canal.

The construction of the castle was quite time-consuming on one hand, while on the other hand, Hao Tian gathered 10 daredevils and used a small wooden boat to send them from the canal to the Fire Elf Lake, near the center of the lake. Hao Tian stood on the shore gazing at the center of the lake and was quite nervous. Toristine who had the treasure of the [Round Mirror of the Beginning] wouldn't have been worried about information, but the Fire Elf's Palace probably because of the existence of the [Fire Elf], every time Lois tried to peek inside, a golden red flame would burn the viewpoint and withdraw from observation. So if you want to get more information, you'll have to send someone to investigate deeper into the dangerous area.

The Fire Elf Palace was the original papal palace occupied by [Fire Elf], red and black instead of white and gold, and always rising with flames, named by Hao Tian and widely recognized. It didn't occupy a large area, just the extent of a kilometer radius; and the large square that was originally adjacent to it was destroyed by a super inflammatory explosion four years ago. How could such a building hold so many flaming humanoids? Is the Duke of Glentor Yanlong well? What happened to the former Emperor of Kelmania? With the many tasks assigned by Hao Tian, the daredevil team was content to complete just one.

Rowing outside the Fire Elf's palace in a small boat, the layer of burning flames made the team dread it. The gates were now tightly closed, where to enter from? The daredevil captain took out a copy of the sheepskin drawing and looked at it, directing his team to go around the outside of the wall on the side of the Fire Elf Palace. The men donned raincoats and jumped into the lake to wet themselves, then approached the flaming wall and felt for a depression.

Soon, one member of the team pressed into a square brick sink in the wall. The nearby wall pulled apart, revealing a narrow passage. Daredevil gathered past and looked into the passage, but fortunately, the interior of the Fire Elf Palace wasn't filled with flames. Daredevil fishtailed through the secret passage, and then closed the door of the secret passage from inside.

The map of the secret passageway was provided by Julio, who was once the Pope's confidential secretary and held many of the secrets of the Pope's Palace, now naturally it was going to be used by Hao Tian for good.

Following the secret passageway into the interior of the Fire Elf Palace, Daredevil didn't know that in fact their actions had already been discovered by the [Fire Elf]. The flames burning outside of the Fire Elf Palace were maintained by the [Fire Elf] with a warning effect, the flames suddenly changed a piece, the [Fire Elf] naturally knew. But now [Fire Elf] was too busy "hatching" his Fire Elemental Guard to pay attention to these little insects in his eyes. The [Fire Elf Palace] is now in the hands of his alters, the former Emperor of Kelvania, Andrei Kelmania, and the flame figures transformed from humans are also under Andrei's command. The actions of the flame humanoid this time were Andre's command, and the [Fire Elf] had no instructions.

The highest four floors of the Fire Elf Palace is the sole possession of the [Elf of Fire], he is here to "hatch" his own guard, this layer of space has been turned into a golden red flame, not to burn down the palace are [Elf of Fire] will be the flame restraint relationship. Since the hatching work began a year ago, the Elf of Fire no longer summoned Andrei and others, without his call, Andrei and others are not allowed to go upstairs.

On the third floor of the Fire Elf's palace, Andre, Nirent, and 13 other flame humanoids that retained their self-awareness resided there. Four years ago, 10 of them had used the Super Inferno Blast to dissuade the Four Kingdoms, and each one of them was at the [Triangle Level] or above, and with the addition of the Fire Elf, they were the strongest among their peers.

Andre appeared in Nirent's room at this time, looking dissatisfied.
