The hot air balloon is not a hot air balloon.
Humans call it the flying sphere, an oval-shaped ball made of an exceptionally tough, lightweight material. Its flexibility surpasses that of rubber, and the hanging platform does not have a torch burning underneath.
The principle is to use the lower density of the gas inside the balloon to produce lift and drag it in flight. The control panel is connected to the gas inside the balloon with magic materials. Magicians adjust the density of the air inside to achieve ascent and descent.
As for how to propel it?
One way is to have five magicians on each flying sphere apply propulsive magic. The other way is to have fuel installed under the hanging platform as a backup in case the magicians cannot provide strong propulsive magic due to unforeseen circumstances.
The cannonballs inside the cannon tower are made by humans with explosives and magic.
The range is not very far, but being in the air changes things. And if flying in the air, the parabolic trajectory must be calculated to ensure hitting the target.
This is the first time humans have put flying spheres into the battlefield, and currently, the demon race has no way to counteract humans flying in the air except for Yiluodiya.
Without Yiluodiya to cause trouble, the effect should be excellent.
How big is Yiluodiya's role?
The ten-meter-high city walls were like flat terrain in front of her, and her destructive combat power allowed her to quickly rush to the city walls and open up the breakthrough.
Although this generation of Yiluodiya is not as powerful as the previous one, she is very good at coordinating with the demon army, or rather, the demon army coordinates very well with her.
If it is only Yiluodiya facing a single army, then Yiluodiya will definitely lose.
However, fortunately, since Yiluodiya's first siege, she has completely changed this problem and learned to observe first and then attack according to specific circumstances.
The coordination of the demon army has become the advantage for her.
Siege warfare has been an ongoing human problem.
Before Yiluodiya appeared, it took the demons weeks or even months to capture a city, but Yiluodiya's existence greatly reduced the effectiveness of city walls.
It is only a matter of time before the demons attack the human capital.
To delay the demons and allow the sixty thousand human army to support the Ulais City, humans had no choice but to put the newly produced flying spheres into the battlefield, and had already prepared for their extinction.
The ten thousand human soldiers were also transported to the battlefield by flying spheres, successfully evading Yiluodiya's surveillance.
Although it is only ten thousand, it cannot be underestimated. Although not the most elite human team, they are all well-trained and excellent soldiers.
The fate of these ten thousand human soldiers was to be completely wiped out. They were willing to make this choice, and on the battlefield, they used all their strength to buy time for the incoming reinforcements. Each soldier among the ten thousand was a warrior worthy of respect from all humans.
If the human reinforcements can successfully reach the Ulais City before the demon army captures it, the 140,000 demon soldiers can be overwhelmed in terms of troop numbers only. Even with the existence of Yiluodiya, she cannot instantly clear out tens of thousands of human soldiers, especially when these human soldiers are not just standing still.
The sixty thousand reinforcements only had three days' worth of provisions.
However, this is in the human kingdom, and humans can summon cities around them to support the sixty thousand reinforcements without having to worry about soldiers being hungry.
Humans made the first move, but the demons only noticed the human concentration of troops heading towards the main line. Therefore, the demon's support speed is definitely slower than that of humans, with only about a week's time difference.
Success or failure depends on whether the demon main force can hold on until the demon reinforcements arrive.
However, the demon army's total soldiers' numbers are only over four hundred thousand, while humans have over one million.
It is at least three times the demon force.
Even so, it is still very dangerous for humans to face off against the demon army of over four hundred thousand soldiers on their own, given that the physical fitness of demons are much better than that of humans. Each demon soldier is like a Spartan warrior, not to mention Yiluodiya who can stand up to ten thousand enemies alone.

The Brave sat on the flying sphere, overlooking the vast sea of people, the army like a surging tide.
His eyes were deep and his brow furrowed, and his handsome face was colored with melancholy, and his face was covered with indescribable sadness.
The fate of humanity rests in his hands, and he fights with all his might not for supreme glory, but simply to protect humanity and uphold its indomitable spirit from the past millennia.
He fights solely to guard the human race.
“Lord the Brave..."
The other humans on the flying sphere were also filled with heavy emotions as they watched the Brave's back disappear into the distance.
"We must wash away the shame of humanity in the past millennia."
The Brave clenched his long sword and spoke resolutely.
To become the master of this world is a dream that humanity has longed for for thousands of years.
Just like the discriminated black people on Earth, they yearn for recognition and the day when they can stand shoulder to shoulder with white and Asian people.
Humans are not a lower species to be slaughtered by the demon race.
Almost all humans believe that if they persist, they will see the light one day.
