Battle for the City Gate

The main force of the demons targeted human territory, aiming directly at the walls. The two central legions of the demon army advanced along the edges of the defensive castles.

One of the demon legions clashed with a human legion, while the other continued advancing along the mountains, blocking the humans from moving through that area.

This time, the demons had a total of sixteen legions heading towards the great walls. The remaining legions that neutralized the demons' advance were literally fighting tens of thousands of demons.

The three remaining legions not only served as the demons' general reserve but also bore the significant responsibility of the rear guard and couldn't be easily mobilized.

Once there were no regular troops behind the demons, Damian's powerful puppets would confront them directly, and only then would the game be over for the demons.

The demons launched their full force, with four armies approaching the territory of the walls. However, within a short period of time, the battle line became relatively stable. The only place at a disadvantage was the defensive castles, where the power balance was the most uneven.

A war general named Arthur stood firm on the wall.

Despite having a geographical advantage over the enemy, no one could afford to be complacent, even with elite soldiers to halt the demons' attack. Even with the help of heavy trebuchets and alchemical bombs, thousands of deaths were expected in this defense.

Other commanders were also under immense pressure from the other three directions, and Damian remained on standby.

The Northern Army had to defend against the main demon army and could no longer send reinforcements to other war zones. All the noble private troops from nearby counties were transferred to the rear cities.

Depending on the intensity of the demons' attack, the defenders could resist for one or two days at most. After all, the demons had seven brigades, which could continuously rotate and launch multiple attacks daily throughout the week.

The situation became much more animated when Damian arrived in person; everyone felt reassured with the Magic Emperor present.

He personally wrote an order requiring the 40,000 auxiliary troops to help care for the wounded.

Additionally, Damian issued an order to strengthen the walls and eliminate all demons, also ordering the massacre of all orc slaves in the iron mines and the entire population of the border castles.

"The slaves may rebel; keep a close watch on the allied orc villages, and if they show any signs of rebellion, do not hesitate to launch a bomb to wipe them all out."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The city's catapults launched continuous attacks against the demon legions attempting to breach the walls. Cannons were fired, and the automatic magic arrow weapons relentlessly attacked.

In turn, the archers were not left behind; they launched continuous attacks until their fingers bled and did not stop until they had shot 1,000 magic arrows.

Damian stayed back, waiting for the appearance of the demon king, intending to finally end all demons on this island.

At least the generals knew that he also stayed back because his duty was solely to exterminate the demon king. The generals, as seasoned combatants, would handle the continuous assaults of the demon hordes.

The smell of blood and fire spread across the battlefield like an unstoppable wave. All the soldiers present, becoming phobic, did not think about what was happening but simply focused on their duty to kill the demons and prevent them from entering human territory.

Frieren used healing spells on thousands of soldiers who thought they were on the brink of death; all of them returned to the battle as soon as it resumed.

The night guards were experienced warriors in defense and had no trouble holding back hundreds of thousands of demons.
