Volume 7: War and Peace Chapter 13: The Unveiling of Chaos (Survival and Honor)

The wolf-running Cerberus is followed by hordes of lava warhorses, unlike the Cerberus or Demon Dogs used to run, although the lava warhorses bear the name of the war horse, they are not mounts to ride, these fifth-order troops of the demon clan are covered with a layer of lava shells, and the blazing flames in the body keep these lava shells in a molten state at all times, and the viscous magma can not only be used to resist attacks, but also cause great damage to surrounding enemies.

Once these nearly a ton of big guys are rushed into the formation, even the dwarves who have been with flames and furnaces for many years will not be able to resist this terrible infernal flames, so the lava horses are the best choice for the demons to use to attack the defensive formation.

Immediately behind the lava war horse is the main force of the demon clan, moss demons, mad demons and fierce demons, moss demons look like a slender old man, but the height of nearly two meters still makes these guys look very powerful, their hands no longer have sharp claws, but become several tentacles, these tentacles can burrow into the ground under the control of moss demons, until they extend to about five meters, and then suddenly burst out of the ground to attack.

Taller and bigger than the Moss Demons, these mad demons are wrapped in heavy chains made of iron ore that turn red under the flames, and when the mad demons attack, they wield these chains that seem to have just been taken out of the forge and slam them the enemy's body, making them taste the same pain!

Compared with these two kinds of demons, the demons are the well-deserved main output characters of the demon clan. They are directly subordinate to the Demon Lord, with the demon's signature giant sharp horns and basalt-covered fists and feet, and they will rush into the enemy line in a frenzy, even blindly, with the sharp horns, crush the enemy with their sharp horns, crush the enemy with their huge arms, or trample the enemy into meat sauce. They can even act as battering rams if needed. They are the most visible presence on the battlefield, and no enemy will ignore these madness, even if there are only a few of them, and any enemy who has seen the terrifying destructive power of these creatures will not put their hopes in luck.

If the dozens of mad demons that appeared on the horizon terrified the demon soldiers, then the next few figures that appeared were completely like they were falling into the abyss, a huge body of more than five meters, thick bone wings flowing with flames, huge sharp horns that transformed light and dark like magma, limbs thicker than the body of the bear warrior, and the most obvious representative weapon, a giant sword that seemed to be cut off by the waist!

Abyssal Demon !!

As the seventh-order class of the demon clan, the Abyss Demon is the most dangerous creature in the Demon Legion, even more terrifying than some demon heroes who have been promoted by the middle and low-level troops such as Moss Demon and Mad Demon, and few demonic creatures are more brutal than these Abyss Demons!

Every abyss demon is an elite who has been promoted in the complex demon hierarchy system, they are the embodiment of pure hatred, even the power of the abyss cannot be infected, every abyss demon must have millions of demon corpses under his feet, they are the guards of the demon lord, they are synonymous with demon madness and cruelty, their appearance on the battlefield means that everything in sight will turn to hell!

Abyssal demons will only use one kind of magic, and that is the Hellfire summon that was previously smashed into the demon soldiers like a meteorite, and the magic power in each abyssal demon is enough to support them to summon dozens of Hellfires, which means that when you face an Abyss Demon, you are also facing dozens of equally powerful Hellfires!

"Hahaha! Kill! Kill! Kill!! "The crazy voice echoed in the air, the owner of the voice was a tall demon hero, although compared to the abyss demon beside him, Grok was not as tall as the big sword in their hands, but this did not affect his strength and status!

As a subordinate of the Demon Lord Moncaril, Grok is known for his bravery and fearlessness, having previously followed his master in the Jeremanca Desert against the damned desert people, and with Moncalil wounded, he also returned to the Demon Clan, this time appearing here, apparently following Moncalil's orders.

"What a pity! I thought this time I would be able to give those little cubs a taste of despair! "There is a succubus standing next to Grock, if you ignore the long horns on her head and the bats on her back, the succubus Jezebeth is definitely a great beauty who captivates the country and the city, as an extremely rare succubus hero in the demon clan, seducing men is Jezebes's specialty, I don't know how many people have fallen because of her and volunteered to become a member of the demons. It was with this ability that she climbed to her current position in the demonic hierarchy. In the eyes of the succubus, this is something to be proud of, and she sets a shining example for all the enchantresses who aspire to participate in seduction and murder for the glorious dreams of the Demon Lord, and Jezebeth's fanatical admirers dream of one day reaching her level and working for the glorious ideals of the Demon King.

"Don't care about such trivial things! How dare these damned brutes betray us, and sooner or later the great master of Moncalil will make them kneel down and beg for mercy! Now it's just a matter of charging a little interest first! Grok looked at the demon soldiers who were gradually collapsing, all along, some small and medium-sized races in the chaotic camp were attached to the wings of the demon clan, and this time the betrayal of the demon clan was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the demons.

The hellfire that fell from the sky caused the demon soldiers' slightly improved defenses to fall into chaos again, which made Jezebeth not interested in taking matters into her own hands, compared to a muscular man like Grock, Jezebeth, who is a succubus, prefers to use stratagems to lure those who are high above to fall willingly, and this time he joined the operation on the orders of Lord Moncalier, just to put a leash on Grock's mad dog.

With the addition of this new force, even with Yakumo Purple leading the Gensokyo Guild players, their defensive formation is still crumbling, and it won't be long before the defense line they managed to maintain will be completely destroyed!

Everything that happened on the ground was reflected in a pair of sharp eyes in the sky, and under the protection of invisibility, the scout on the griffin circled the entire battlefield, and then pulled the reins and flew towards the west side of the battlefield.

A few minutes later, the Scout swooped down on the griffin towards a ruin, landed in a clearing, and quickly ran out of a human soldier to take the reins as the invisibility was lifted.

Looking down from the sky, the empty ruins were now densely packed with people, and it was clear that in order to prevent detection, these humans had cast illusions overhead to hide their presence.

A man in the bright silver knight's armor listened to the scout's report, turned and walked into an abandoned house that barely fit a room: "The scout is back!" ”

In the room sat a middle-aged uncle against the wall, the same style of knight's armor as the man, the only difference was a griffin embroidered with gold thread on his chest, as a high-ranking general of the Almerian Empire, he was qualified to use this pattern!

"Moore, how's it going?"

"It's bad!" Moore shook his head and said, "The demons have already started attacking, and they won't last long!" ”

The middle-aged uncle hammered the ground: "Damn! If it weren't for the annoying bugs along the way, we wouldn't have made it here until now! If I could have known the terrain better, we wouldn't have to be in that situation! ”

"General Norman, you don't have to blame yourself for this!" Moore comforted, "Those damned demons are obviously prepared, and now, those demon soldiers are on the verge of collapse, and even if we join the battlefield, we won't be able to do anything!" ”

The middle-aged uncle Norman raised his head suddenly: "You mean, you want to turn around and leave here?" ”

"General, in order to cross the demon border, the soldiers are already exhausted, and now they have less than half an hour of rest, and they really can't go into battle!"

"Shut up! Moore! Do you know what you're talking about" Norman stood up, "As a soldier of the Almeria Empire, this behavior is discrediting the Empire!?" ”

Moore resolutely met General Norman's gaze without fear: "Yes, I know what I'm talking about, General! As a glorious Imperial Knight, I will never be afraid of sacrifice, and I will follow you even in the face of thousands of troops! However, the current situation means that whether we join or not, the outcome of this battle is already doomed, are you willing to watch these soldiers outside pay for it in vain? ”

"Enough! Mohr, a soldier takes obedience to orders as his vocation! Norman said coldly, "I'm the supreme commander here!" ”

"Even if you want to take your men with you to die?"

"If this is what the empire expects, then I'm glad to die here!"

Moore let out a long sigh: "All right, General! ”

"Let's gather the soldiers!" Norman still believed in his deputy, even if Moore had suggested leaving the place.

Soon, the soldiers scattered in the ruins for repairs were gathered, because there is a considerable distance between here and the territory of the human race, in order to avoid being discovered during the march, the army commanded by Norman is mainly cavalry, and the cavalry force of more than 3,000 people can be regarded as an elite force even in an old empire like Almeria, which shows how determined the Almerian Empire is to support the migration of the demon clan.

Of course, once the demon clan successfully migrated, the new settlement was also a land provided by the Almerian Empire, so it is not surprising that Her Majesty Queen Fiona would take this operation so seriously.

"Soldiers, I know you're tired right now, because I'm just as tired as you are!" Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Norman held back tears, he knew that his decision would leave these soldiers buried in this wild land, but he had to do this, "Each and every one of you was personally selected by me, personally trained, and personally watched you ride on war horses and become a glorious cavalryman." I'm so proud of you! I'm so proud of you! Because, only you in the entire empire have the ability to do all this! We've crossed the territory of the little half demon to get here, something no one has ever done before! ”

Each of the cavalrymen puffed out their chests with pride, as Norman said, each of them was an elite that Norman personally selected from the other cavalry units, and they were proud of it since they joined this unit!

"It's been five years since the establishment of our Silver Dragon Knights, and in the past five years, we have won countless honors, so that those knights with a longer history than us have to admit our strength! But none of this is a reason to stop! What are we here for? If you want me to say, it's not to save those demon clans, but to gain our glory and reputation! Norman looked around at the cavalry, "Now, I have to take you out again, maybe we'll all die here, at the hands of those damned demons, and before that, I'm going to ask you one last time, if you're willing to follow me, fight and die for honor, or leave for survival!" Answer me, soldiers? ”

"Honor! Honor! Honor! ”

As Norman had expected, the cavalrymen lived up to the title of elite, and each one of them had a look of death on their faces.

In fact, compared to the player, the NPC's army attaches more importance to honor and responsibility, and it is rare to run away, of course, the intelligence of the rank class is not high, but for the cavalry of the sixth order, its intelligence is enough to make them think like an ordinary person.

Norman nodded, turned to Mohr and said, "Mohr, I'm going to ask you for something!" ”

"Command, General!"

"With a small team, escort our flag back to the Empire! I have no hesitation in fighting and dying for honor, but the Silver Dragon Knights cannot be destroyed because of this! You've learned a lot from me over the years, and I'm sure you'll be able to rebuild the Silver Dragon Knights in my place! ”

Moore smiled bitterly: "General, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!" ”

"Why?"

The Scout said that among the heroes who led the demons this time was Jezebeth. You know, whether it's public or private, I can't get out of here! ”

Hearing the name Jezebeth, Norman was stunned, not that he didn't know about this famous succubus hero, but because of the relationship between this succubus and Moore.

His lieutenant, Mohr, whose full name is Mohr Jezer! Hundreds of years ago, a duke of the Almerian Empire fell willingly under the seduction of this succubus, and led an entire imperial army under his command to surrender to the demon, in order to exterminate him, the Almeria Empire paid a great price at that time, and the duke's family was completely declined. In order to remember this shame, the duke's descendants changed their surname to Jeze, as a warning to future generations not to forget revenge!

The Scout's news was reported to Moll first, which means that Moll already knew that Jezebeth was on the battlefield, and in that case, he still proposed to Norman to leave, obviously not to save his life!

"More, don't you ......," Norman said in surprise.

Moore shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "General, I'd rather die here than flee back and be executed by my father's own hands!" What's more, this is a rare opportunity in hundreds of years to wash away the shame of the family! ”

"I'm sorry, Mohr, I blamed you!" Norman didn't say that, because he knew that Moore didn't want to hear him say that.

Turning over and stepping onto the war horse, Norman raised the knight's sword in his hand: "Soldiers! Charge with me! ”
