Chapter 148
The waterfall roared, and the splashing water fell on the face of a demon who was bending over to drink water.
He casually wiped off the water droplets and continued to hold the water and bring it to his mouth. The cool and sweet water entered his throat, moistening the dryness they had felt during the march.
"Come on, this water tastes good!"
After drinking his fill, he turned around and greeted his teammates.
Seeing that he looked energetic, his companions thought that the water quality must be good, so they took off the weapons that were in the way from their waists, squatted down around the bottomless pool, and drank water.
Crash, crash.
Water leaked from between his fingers and fell into the pool. At this time, no demon noticed that the rippling water surface reflected the pairs of forbearing eyes behind him.
"beat!"
Someone shouted, and in an instant, thousands of arrows, daggers, and halos rained down from all directions! Like the Buddha's heaven-shaking palm, it came with an extremely oppressive momentum.
Several demons near the pond were killed first. Some of them didn't even have time to pick up the weapons at their feet. Their bodies tilted and they fell into the pond.
"Damn it! It can't just die on the ground, it has to die in the water, polluting our water source!"
"I'll have to ask the pharmacist to sprinkle some medicine powder, otherwise I won't be able to drink this corpse water."
The players cursed, but it didn't affect their swinging of weapons at all.
The demons realized they had fallen into a trap, and their leader immediately ordered their demon hunters to shoot the humans lying in ambush around the cliff.
Many players fell as a result, and their health bars dropped to 0, but more players took advantage of the terrain and continuously controlled the demons from above, leaving them helpless.
After all, throwing skills from top to bottom is much easier than chasing from bottom to top.
All the demons were trapped in the Hulukou waterfall. They couldn't get out and couldn't defeat these cunning humans. In the end, the powerful 2 million demons were defeated by less than 20,000 players from the Pergas continent.
"Holy crap!!! 1 to 100 casualty rate, we're doomed!"
The players stared with their eyes shining, jumped down from the grass, behind the rocks, and on the cliffs, and hugged each other excitedly!
"These demons look powerful, but when they really fight, they're just so-so!"
"I declare that the Pergas continent is the most powerful! Long live the players of Alman Star!"
Cheers burst out from the waterfall and reached the sky.
The good news of victory quickly spread back to the headquarters and spread across the entire continent. The players of Pergas were all grinning from ear to ear, looking very excited.
Especially the members of Luanshi Shengge who held up the first line of defense. After they were resurrected, they guarded inside and outside the royal city. Looking at the message sent by President Tan Shengge, they cried with excitement.
"Our persistence paid off! Look, the demons have been completely wiped out! We're so proud!"
"On average, one person killed 100 demons. Hahaha, I wonder how angry the commander-in-chief of Vazetilan would be if he heard about this!"
Amidst the celebration, the faces of the commanders of Vazetilan were gloomy.
"How could this happen?!" Caroline's eyes widened in disbelief. "Two million demons! How...how on earth did they do it?"
Kingsley gripped his weapon and paced back and forth on the grass in frustration. "What a bunch of trash the demons are! They look so big and strong, but I didn't expect them to be so weak. They're giving away experience to those inferiors for nothing!"
"The demons are not weak." As several people were frustrated, Edie said coldly, "The demons fell into a trap."
Under everyone's astonished gaze, he spread out the map of the Pergas continent. A group of people and another group of commanders stepped forward and saw that as many as 100 places were circled in red on the map.
"What is this...?" Kingsley looked at him in confusion.
Edie: "This is the map the demon leader gave me before he left. The circled area is where they drew the teleportation array. It can be activated at any time as needed during the war."
"The Great Falls is here, you can see for yourself." Edie stretched out her hand and pointed to the spot marked with the words "Great Falls." "This is a small-mouthed, large-bellied terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Kingsley frowned. "What do you mean? Did these demons choose to fall into this trap?"
Are you crazy?!
Edie shook her head. "No, they had no choice but to take the Great Falls route."
"Huh? I don't understand."
Edie didn't say anything. Instead, he casually gathered the map and crumpled it into a ball. He turned around, rubbing his brow with a headache. "Those guys on Alman Planet destroyed the demonic teleportation array and only kept this one. To speed up their journey, they had to choose a place with a teleportation array."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a long pause, Kingsley half-opened his mouth, looking shocked as if he had just heard some incredible news. "You're saying... the players on the Pergas Continent destroyed all the over 100 teleportation arrays created by the demons, one by one?"
It was so unbelievable that my speech became halting.
Edie smiled wryly. "What else? If the demons had any other options, they wouldn't have chosen the Great Falls route. Furthermore, they have warriors who can draw teleportation arrays on the spot. If the other arrays were still there, they could have easily escaped through the Great Falls."
But they didn't.
Don’t they want to?
No, they can't.
What a good move of retreating to advance, deliberately letting the demons attack, it turned out that the purpose was to trap them inside and let them be slaughtered!
2 million... 2 million combat forces were lost, while the group of people who ambushed the demons suffered almost no serious damage.
Damn it!
Slamming her fists onto the ground, Edie closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"We were careless." He gritted his teeth and said forcefully, "Next, it's time for them to experience the feeling of being crushed."

In the Pergas camp, amidst the celebration, Xia Mo remained exceptionally calm, as if nothing could cause her to fluctuate.
Seeing that even the president looked calm, the others in the tent had to purse their lips and force themselves to suppress their excitement.
The victory at Great Falls, like the defense of Border Line No. 2, was of great military significance.
The latter represents the completion of the first battle, while the former tells everyone that they, the players of Pergas, have a complete strategy to deal with the enemy.
It’s a good thing, but you can’t be proud of it.
Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. This is an eternal truth in any battle.
Xia Mo deliberately let everyone cheer for a while, then he walked aside and began to study the next step.
The first three battles basically went according to her expectations. The only variable was Qingshui's side. Judging from the kill count automatically counted by the system, in the battle of Lai'a Xijiang, he actually killed more than 400 people in seconds by himself.
If she didn't know that his profession was a warlock, Xia Mo would almost think that he was playing the same violent output as her.
Recovering her thoughts, she clicked on the world map and stared at it in thought.
Although they dealt a heavy blow to the Vazetilan camp at a very small cost, the latter would not stop invading and wanted to occupy the royal city. They then had two options.
One is to choose Lake Isenda, located west of the Silver Moon Mountains.
The lake is vast, and once on a boat, it is easy to expose themselves, but there are also advantages. It is inconvenient for them to fight on the water, and the same is true for the Pargas players.
The second one is to avoid the west and go to the Silver Moon Maple Forest in the east.
Traveling by land is naturally safer than traveling by water. With maple trees as cover, they have something to hide behind even if the enemy attacks.
Of course, in the end, they may also refuse to make a choice and directly split their troops into two groups, advancing from two directions, forcing the combat power of Pargas to be dispersed.
So the question is, how will their commander be chosen?
Xia Mo looked at the map with a flickering look in his eyes.
