Chapter 47: Traps and Loopholes in Both Directions

After the three high-ranking demons had finished their discussions, Serren and Ryska walked out of the hall and immediately began to gather their army and prepare to leave.

A large number of low-level demons streamed out of the lair, gathered together, and under the leadership of Serren and Ryska, poured out of Castlevania, and after leaving Castlevania, this group of troops quickly split into two groups, one was the army brought by Reskar before, and the other was the army summoned by Serren himself.

Resca's troops are composed of a merger of the original Ignadis's troops, so the number and strength are on par with Serren, these two troops will be divided into two ways to advance, and their tasks are basically the same, that is, to clear the reconnaissance troops of the Aveli elves along the way, destroy all the human villages and elven villages that appear in sight, and try to cut off the way of supply for the Avli elves.

Moreover, there is another advantage to being divided into two troops, that is, it can distract the attention of the main force of the Aveli elves, after all, whether it is Serren or Ryska, the army with them is mainly low-level demons, although the number is huge, but in fact, the combat effectiveness is really not high, and the main force of the Aveli elves has the help of the Golden Dragon Clan, and the strength must be very strong.

As for the final battle, the two will converge while waiting for Ignatis, who stayed behind to manage Castlevania, to arrive with a high-level demon army.

Roy naturally followed Serren's troops and marched with Serren.

Among this force, the largest number is the army of little devils, at least more than five hundred, as cannon fodder, these little devils are naturally at the front of the marching array, at a glance, densely packed, there are all kinds of little devils.

The second most is a kind of lower demon called Gog, this kind of demon is very interesting, although there are differences between individuals, but most of them look like monkeys, because the cry is always "Gog, Gog" and get the name, they are the few lower demons, the demon that can use fire for long-range attacks, but this use of flames, but not in a magical way, but because they have a special organ in their body that can secrete a flammable liquid as saliva, When the gogols spit their saliva into the palm of their hand and throw it out, it rubs against the air and eventually turns into an explosive flame.

This kind of attack determines that they are very important in the army, and the flames of this explosion, like a grenade, are a nightmare for a large number of low-level enemies, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it will also accidentally injure friendly soldiers.

The third type of demon army is the army of Cerberus, there are only about one hundred and fifty of them, and these Cerberus are very different from the Fat Tiger, ordinary Cerberus can't breathe elemental breath like the Fat Tiger at all, their attack method is very simple, that is, relying on strong fangs to bite people! These Cerberus are relatively large, with very strong fur and muscles, and they are all first-class in terms of both their striking power and bite force.

Fat Tiger is naturally very weird in this group of Cerberus, Fat Tiger not only spews elemental breath, but also has demon wings, which can already fly for a short time, Roy was also worried that Serren would see the weirdness of Fat Tiger, but what he didn't expect was that Serren didn't care so much at all, just let Fat Tiger be the leader of the Cerberus team, and it led these Cerberus to act.

In Sellen's opinion, no matter how strange the fat tiger is, it is still just a hellhound, and in the abyss world for thousands of years, the highest demon like Cerren can only reach the top of the middle level, and it is not worthy of too much attention from Selren.

Fat Tiger has become the boss of the Cerberus army, and Roy is still Seren's lieutenant, the lower demons are usually not very intelligent, and even the march is a mess, and they only know how to follow, so one of Roy's tasks is to assist Serren in training these lower demons during the march, at least so that they can maintain their formation.

This task is difficult to say, easy to say simple, difficult to say because Roy doesn't know what kind of formation the demon army should use, and easy because Roy only needs to rush in and slap the messy guy back when he sees the messy formation during the march, it's really simple and rude.

With Roy here, Serren can certainly save a lot of worry, which is one of the reasons why he insists on keeping Roy behind.

In this army, in addition to the messy demons, there are also a lot of special things, that is, several huge bed crossbows and siege vehicles, bed crossbows are commonly known as ballistas, siege vehicles are catapults, these things, are used by Serren to attack the city, they are tied to dozens of Cerberus ropes and pulled, with the troops, and it is precisely because of these tools that they are dragged down, Serren's troops are not fast.

After being in this world for more than a month, Roy has gradually learned some information, and now the location of this demon army is in the border area west of the Kingdom of Erathia, and their goal is to prepare all the way to the east, attack the territory of Erathia, and destroy the capital of the Kingdom of Erathia.

Although Roy knew that this was the invincible world of heroes, he didn't know much about the history and background of this world, so he didn't know which battle he was involved in, but it didn't matter, he just needed to know that the enemy of the demon army was the alliance of humans and elves.

After three days of marching, the troops had already left Castlevania for hundreds of miles, and when the scouts sent out to explore the road came back to report that they had found elves ahead, they finally saw people.

When Serren heard the report, he didn't say a word, and immediately led the team to chase after him.

This seems to be a migrating elven village, perhaps they learned of the volcanic eruption and the appearance of Castlevania, and knew that this continent was about to face demon invasion, so the whole village migrated in order to avoid the demon army, but now they have been overtaken.

These migrating elves were not in the habit of sending scouts, and when Serren appeared behind them with a demon army, these elves were in chaos, and the old people and children among them were escorted to flee, while a group of strong young people in the village stayed behind to cut off their backs.

Among these young people, there are stout and stocky mine dwarves, and there are also slender wood elves who are good at bows and arrows, obviously, their choice is obviously wrong, these dozens of people can't stop the demon army of Serren at all, they can't resist for long at all, as long as they die, those old people and children who flee will also be caught up.

Demons never had any mercy, and neither did Serren, who was annoyed when he saw that these elves and dwarves dared to stay and fight against the demon army, and he roared and gave the order, causing the little demons to charge.

A group of little demons, accustomed to fighting, screamed and rushed towards these elves and dwarves, but it was the arrows fired by the wood elves that greeted them!

The few little devils who rushed to the front were directly pierced by the arrows, and Roy, who was standing in the back, could clearly see that the little demons who were shot through were directly shot to death, and at the moment of their death, they let out a terrible scream, and their whole bodies were suddenly shrouded in the black fog of the Abyss Gate, and then their bodies turned into ashes, leaving only a soul light cluster pulled back to the abyss world by the Abyss Gate!

This is the first time Roy has seen the scene when the demon dies in other worlds, such a scene is not seen at all in the abyss world, in the abyss world, the demon is killed when it is killed, but here, because of the Ouroboros mark, the moment they are killed, it is equivalent to being expelled, the soul will be pulled back to the abyss world, and the body will be reshaped, but the injury will still remain.

And although it was pulled back, there is also a high probability that the soul will be hit hard, the decline in strength is a small thing, and there may be memory loss, and most importantly, if there are other demons with bad intentions next to you when you go back, then it is very likely that after going back, you will be killed by other demons and take away your soul.

So generally speaking, demons are not willing to be killed and expelled back unless absolutely necessary......

Although the wood elves are sharp in archery, their number is too small after all, and in the process of the little devils' charge, they only have time to shoot two or three rounds of arrows, and the number of little demons they can kill is quite limited.

When the little demons approached, the dwarves in the mines with hammers in their hands took on the responsibility of protecting the elven archers, and these dwarves with weapons were extremely powerful, and they were often able to kill their opponents first.

But they also couldn't hold out for long, the number of little demons was too many, and after a while, these dwarves and wood elves were surrounded by heavy sieges, and then they were beaten to death by the little demons......

The battle ended quickly, and when it was time to clean up the battlefield, the little demons were expelled from this world after they died, so they would not leave souls, but the souls of those dwarves and wood elves would definitely appear, and these souls were collected by the little demons, although they coveted these souls one by one, but they did not dare to swallow them privately, and obediently handed them over to Serren.

After Serren got these dozens of souls, he was very satisfied, although this time there were too few enemies, and he couldn't enjoy the pleasure of fighting, but as long as he could have soul harvest.

After picking and choosing, Serren gave Roy a few of the smallest souls, and then the rest were all devoured, and these dozens of souls, for Serren, can only be regarded as a tooth sacrifice......

Roy took those pitifully small souls, knowing that this was the dividend that Serren had given him, and at the same time, he also knew the first trap contained in the contract that Serren had signed, that is, Serren did promise to give him a percent soul after victory, but did not stipulate what the quality of this soul was, he just calculated it simply by quantity.

Although it was a trap, Roy didn't think it was strange at all, there was still a possibility of loopholes in the thick provisions of the laws of human beings in the previous life, not to mention the demon's contract, the contract was just the size of a piece of parchment, how detailed can the content be described? Even, Roy had already thought of the second trap set by Serren at this time, that is, he could participate in the battle, and then keep devouring the souls of the killed enemies while fighting, the contract said that one percent was harvested after the battle was won, so before the battle ended, the souls devoured by Serren were not counted in the victory harvest, and Serren would not violate the contract at all......

Although he knew that Serren was playing his little abacus, Roy didn't have any anger, because he knew very well that Serren could take advantage of the loopholes in the contract, and he could do the same, that is, as long as Roy also participated in the battle, he could also devour souls on the battlefield, and even, he could also use the function of the system to store souls, and all the souls on the battlefield could be included, as long as the battle was not over, these souls would not be counted in the loot!

You know, the loopholes and traps in the demon contract are sometimes completely two-way......
