The demon horde, unfazed by the losses they were suffering from both the repulsive nature of the land and the goblin mages' bombardment, pressed on with a grim determination. The fourth-stage gargoyle demon, watching from a distance, seemed pleased. The bodies of the fallen demons were now creating a path, gradually pushing deeper into the goblins territory and eroding the lands that normally repelled their presence. This was the key part of Phanthom's plan: sacrifice the lower-tier demons to erode the land enough for the stronger ones to move forward freely.
The ogre general, now at the head of his army, saw the advancing horde with a mixture of confusion and rage. Despite his previous confidence, the sight of the demons relentlessly sacrificing their own to create a path was unsettling. But he was not one to hesitate in battle.
