Chapter 60: Imminent
The silver-white sword flashed, and the last demon fell to the ground, and "Dawn" pierced his heart with incredible precision, killing him completely with a single move.
"You should be over there, Raven?" said Ye Xiang as he picked up the communicator on his waist.
"It's over. Raven's voice came through the communicator, "I'll be there right now, it won't be long." ”
"I see, be careful to keep your tracks hidden, be careful, Raven. Ye Xiang put down the communicator after speaking.
Now the two of them were on the periphery of the Abaddon Palace, this was indeed a very magnificent fortress, Ye Xiang carefully observed the entire fortress, and he knew in his heart that if he took a strong attack, he might not be able to break it.
"I'm here, vice-captain. Just as Ye Xiang was looking at the fortress intently, Raven had already quietly come to his side.
"Do you have many enemies over there?" Ye Xiang smiled back at Raven.
"Not much. Raven shrugged, "There are probably only a dozen people, how are you here, Vice Captain?"
"A little more than yours. Ye Xiang smiled, "There should be dozens of people, but most of them are demons, and there are only a few demons." ”
"They defended fairly well. Raven said with a somewhat worried tone, "We've already encountered so many guards just on the outskirts of the Abaddon Palace, and the further we go inside, the stronger the guards will become. ”
"The Legion of Hell has an overwhelming advantage over the two of us. Ye Xiang said, "We can still deal with these dozen or dozens of demons, but if there are hundreds of demons, the situation will not be like now." ”
"So what are we going to do next?" asked Raven.
"We have to move on. Ye Xiang already had an idea in his heart, "We must pay attention to concealing our whereabouts, even if we relax for a second, although we only have two people, but this also has corresponding advantages." ”
"What do you mean by advantage?"
"Being outnumbered means it takes a lot of time for them to search, and we're more mobile than a large force like theirs. Come to think of it, searching for two humans in such a vast area is definitely not going to be an easy job. ”
"I see. Raven smiled, "In this way, we are not at a disadvantage everywhere, on the contrary, we are still at an absolute advantage in some aspects." ”
"Yes, that's it. Ye Xiang put away the "dawn", "When we encounter a small force, we will completely annihilate them, and when we encounter a large army, we will choose to avoid it, this is the tactic we have to adopt now." ”
"Understood. Raven nodded, "With this tactic, I should be able to reach that fortress soon." ”
"yes, I'm going to get there. Ye Xiang looked at the fortress from afar and said, "Let's go, Raven, it's time to go." ”
Alligus felt a hint of irritation and picked up the cup full of hot tea, but the next second he lowered the cup again, an action he had repeated several times.
"My lord, do you have something to worry about?" Slant, who was standing behind Aligus, sensed his annoyance.
"It's nothing, it's just a little upset. Aligus replied casually.
"I feel very guilty that my subordinates failed to complete the task you gave me, please punish me. Slant suddenly lowered his voice and lowered his head.
"You can't be blamed for that, Slanter. Aligus waved his hand and motioned for Slant to raise his head, "No one expected that they would find the secret passage by mistake, and if I had to ask for responsibility, it should be my responsibility." ”
"How can it be your responsibility?" said Slant hurriedly, "it's all because I didn't send someone in in time to search, otherwise it might have been avoided." ”
"I said it's okay, Srant, and you don't blame yourself anymore. Aligus smiled, and he took a sip of his hot tea.
"It should be said that it is precisely because they escaped from there that they solved some difficult threats for us, and it can be said that this is not a good thing. ”
Aligus remembered when the Scout returned to report back to him on the discovery of Pate's body and Asmodeus, which had been reduced to ashes.
If Pate's death was still within the range of Aligus could have predicted, then Asmodeus's death was completely beyond all his expectations.
The scout reported to him that he had found an area that was clearly a battlefield, and that Aligus followed the scout to find that there were huge vines everywhere, the ground was almost shattered, and the most striking thing was a pile of black ashes.
Aligus could still feel the last trace of energy left in the gray mirror, and he immediately recognized that it was Asmodeus's power, which quickly disappeared completely, which meant that Asmodeus was completely dead.
It was those two humans who did it, and Aligus understood everything at once, and Asmodeus should have obeyed that guy's orders, so that one of the threats to us would be eliminated.
And this vine is undoubtedly the ability of Belier, and now that he is not here, I am afraid that he has already gone to the same end as Asmodeus.
Aligus immediately ordered a full search, and once Ye Xiang and Raven were found, he asked not to fight them immediately, but to report to him first, because after this, Aligus already understood how strong the ability of these two humans was.
After arranging everything, Aligus returned to the palace of Abaddon, where he built a temporary command post on the periphery of the palace, where he commanded all the troops on the periphery.
In this way, there should be only three puppets left in that guy's hand, and Aligus thought in his heart that the two strongest of his men had also been wiped out, and he should be furious by now.
But at the same time, Aligus also clearly understood that the real threat of Ye Xiang and Raven was much higher than he originally thought, you must know that Belier and Asmodeus are strong even among the seven sins, and such two people were actually wiped out by two humans.
Every time he thought about it, Aligus felt extremely irritated, what would happen if he had met the two of them?
He turned to Shore again, he was the captain of those two people, in other words, his ability was probably above them, but he was captured alive by himself, could it be that he overestimated the ability of these humans?
Not necessarily, Aligus had doubts in his mind. What if Shore was pretending to be defeated by himself? Maybe he did it specifically to infiltrate here, and if so, wouldn't he have completely fallen into the trap of the enemy?!
Aligus desperately tried to get rid of these thoughts, but the more he tried to dispel them, the more he thought about them, which led to his current restlessness.
"How is the human named Shore doing?" asked Slant.
"I've been imprisoned by Lord Mephistopheles, don't worry, with Master Mephistopheles here, nothing should happen. Slant replied.
Aligus still felt uneasy, after all, the number of troops that Hell could take now was pitiful, and there were probably only four people like this besides himself.
Mephistopheles, of course, is the acting leader of Hell and the most powerful of all demons, and Aligus is willing to obey his orders.
The other is Mephistopheles' shadow-like existence, that is, Faust, Aligus only got the news not long ago, but since Faust has almost the same power as Mephistopheles, there is no need to worry too much about his combat power.
The key is what they think, and that's what Aligus really wants to know.
Faust was once human, as was the third remaining man, Kane Mait, and Aligus was naturally distrustful of humans, even now.
Faust had been struck down by human emotions, and Kane had always been a good friend of Shore, so could the two really be trusted?
Aligus himself can't say it, but any combat power that can be used now must be preserved.
As for the last guy, Aligus even felt fear, Lucifer, the former Archangel of Justice, Aligus had fought with his deputy Philens, and that battle left him seriously injured, this is just the strength of his deputy!
Aligus had only met Lucifer once, and it was at that moment that he felt Lucifer's powerful aura, Aligus was in a cold sweat at that time, and Lucifer's glance could make him unable to move.
There are only two people who have fought Lucifer in Hell: one is Mephistopheles, and the other is Mammon, who has betrayed Hell.
Both of them were defeated, Lucifer showed overwhelming strength, Mammon almost survived, and Mephistopheles narrowly managed to draw with him, but was also covered in wounds.
Such a dangerous existence is now a combat force they must rely on, but Lucifer has betrayed heaven, who knows if he will betray hell, which is his mortal enemy?
But at least for now, it seems that Lucifer has no sign of betrayal, and perhaps he really just wants revenge now, and in the absence of evidence, all of this is just Aligus's own thoughts.
"Did the scouts find any traces of those two humans?" asked Aligus.
"Not yet. Srant replied, "But we've lost touch with several search squads, and I'm afraid they are." ”
"It's been wiped out. "Increase the search force, don't rush to engage when you encounter the enemy, be sure to report to me first, and emphasize this order to me again." ”
"The subordinates understand. Slann nodded.
"Soon everything will be over. "There's one more day, and after that, you'll be back here." ”
"We're going to win this battle, right, Lord Aligus?" said Srant in a burning tone.
"That's right, as long as we have that Lord, we're going to win!" replied Aligus confidently, "So we have to make sure that no one is going to disturb that Lord's arrangement, understand?"
"Yes!" said Slanter, "until then, each of us will be ready to do everything in our power to ensure that the Lord returns safely." ”
"That's right. Aligus drank the last bit of tea, and suddenly he felt much better. "Our victory is at hand, and Lord Satan will surely bring us the victory we have longed for so long!"
"Go, Slanter, the time for the decisive battle is approaching. ”
