The Beginning of the War

After hearing Lucian's words, all the demons became excited.

They had long been subjected to the wanton hunting of hunters.

Coupled with all these years of being bullied by Goblins and Human invasion,

'They had to hold everything in.'

Now, with Lucian leading the way, they were finally able to release that anger.

So they all cooperated under Lucian's command.

With their cooperation, the rest of Lucian's work proceeded smoothly.

He combined all these demonic creatures and formed an army.

Fortunately, the territory of the Cat-Eared tribe was large enough to accommodate all the demons.

This was the advantage of being on good terms with all the other species.

In this forest where it's every demon for itself, the territory of the Cat-Eared tribe had never been affected.

At this moment, in the empty space of the Cat-Eared tribe, Lucian was constantly directing the arrangements.

"For the convenience of conveying orders and for unified coordination, I now divide the entire unit into three levels. The leader, the chief, and the soldiers!"

"Depending on how you attack and how strong you are, we will place you in different positions in the combat forces."

"Tauren, you are good with warhammers. You are as powerful as chariots! You will stand at the front of the line as the vanguard and charge for us!"

"Taurens accept the command!"

"Jackals, you're good at using light shields. You're agile and go as you please! You're to standby in the middle! Support from all directions!"

"The Jackals accept the command!"

"Lizard People, you're good at throwing spears. It's a long-range attack! I order you to stay at the end of the troops and wait!"

"The Lizard People accept the command!"

In Lucian's planning, it took only the better part of a day to arrange the formations.

Looking at the neat troops in front of him, Lucian felt a sense of pride.

Each race, depending on their abilities, had been developed to their greatest potential by him.

This set-up was aimed at the garrison troops of Kaidi City.

Through the previous simulation, he had a clear understanding of the situation of the defenders in the city.

The south gate was the weakest in defense.

There were only nearly two thousand soldiers.

These soldiers were good at shield wall spears, and at the same time, there were five hundred archers supporting them from the rear.

Although the entire army was small, the formation was reasonable.

It could attack from a distance or in close combat.

There were only slightly more than 1,000 demons under Lucian.

It was a far cry from the number of defenders.

However, the strength of the demonic creatures was greater than that of the Human soldiers.

This battle would be a bitter one, but victory would eventually be theirs.

Over the next few days, Lucian led the creatures through many drills.

It allowed them to adapt to working with each other.

In the past, they had been competitors.

Now that they had suddenly become comrades, they needed time to be comfortable with each other.

Therefore, the cooperation exercises these few days were very crucial.

At dusk, in the main hall of the Cat-Eared tribe.

Lucian sat at the head of the table, flanked by the leaders of the various races.

They were also the leaders of this large group now.

When everyone was here, Lucian began to set up the battle plan.

"After so many days of working together, I'm sure everyone has a rudimentary grasp of how the battle formation operates."

"And tonight will be the day we act! We will break that city, free our companions, and wash away the shame the Humans have served us!"

"Good! Save our companions! Wash away the shame!"

"Save our companions! Wash away the shame!"

Lucian's words were quickly met with a chorus of cheers.

Everyone's face lit up with excitement.

And, of course, with a hint of nervousness and unease.

This was the first time they had fought a war on this scale. It would be a lie to say that they weren't nervous.

When everyone had quieted down, Lucian continued.

"I've said this before. I've got someone on the inside! And he's a high-ranking Knight!"

"I received a message from him this morning. He said that the old City Lord will hold a cocktail party tonight! At that time, all the nobles in the city will attend. This gives us the perfect opportunity to ambush them tonight!"

"And I've already ordered him to transfer the city guards on this side of the south wall to guard the banquet! This way, the pressure on us when we attack the city will be greatly reduced!"

"And during the cocktail party, I asked him to secretly poison that city lord. As soon as he succeeds, he will immediately cause a riot in the entire city! They will focus all their energy on finding the murderer. After that, they will definitely be exhausted!"

"There wouldn't have been any time for anyone to think about us then! Now that all the odds are against them, tell me now, are you confident?!"

At that, Lucian slammed his hand down on the table and stood up.

At this moment, all the leaders stood up solemnly.

They raised their voices, shouting.

"We have faith!!"

Lucian's face was steel now.

He looked through the window at the darkening sky.

"It is dark, and the moon is about to rise! Let us paint the moon with the blood of Humans in a great victory!"

"The Fallen Alliance will win!"

Lucian raised his right hand and suddenly shouted the slogan.

The Fallen League was the name he had chosen for his forces.

The name had come up on the spur of the moment. Maybe it will change later.

But now they needed such a name to add to the cohesion of all races.

"The Fallen Alliance will win!"

"The Fallen Alliance will win!"

As shouts sounded in the house,

The demonic beast army gathered outside also let out earth-shattering roars.

"The Fallen Alliance will win!"

A uniform voice resounded in the demonic forest.

This night was destined to be a night of bloodshed.
