Chapter 3: The Spirit of the Storm—Lacanihu
The efficiency of the swarm was obvious, and after Zagala had all his troops in place, the golden sun, which represented the arrival of the Second World Polar Day, had only barely poked out of the distant horizon.
A huge number of insect waves quickly converge on the "Doomsday Hills" where the Purgatory Fortress is located using various modes of transportation, and if you go a little further, you will enter the demon's defensive circle.
Even here, Xue Hua, who was in mid-air, could already see the large group of Winged Demons who were wandering in the dim sky not far away, and in addition to the Winged Demons, there was also an ugly monster with a bloated body that looked like a giant ball of meat and had three pairs of small wings behind it.
This monster is a unique demon from the Dread Realm that loves to soak its bloated bodies in the hot lava from the Dread Volcano.
These demons are called "Flame Spitters", and when they fight, they will spew large strands of scorching magma from the cracks in their stomachs at their opponents, which is equivalent to bombers in the Demon Air Force.
However, the Spitter's IQ is very worrying, and they are bloated and slow to move, so they must be commanded by someone in charge, and they must be protected by Winged Demons or Hellfire Bats.
Xue Hua had seen this flying demon several times in previous battles, and knew that once he let them fly above the heads of his own troops, the overwhelming magma rain would cause huge losses to his own troops.
As a result, in the battles that followed, these Spitters were targeted by the Corruptor and Spear Hunters, and their small numbers made them easy to clean.
When he saw the Demon Air Force, Xue Hua knew that Zagara's tactical plan was about to be implemented.
At the heart of this tactical plan is to use the large swarms of mutants created by the infected to attract ranged strike fire from the demonic defenses to reveal their positions, and then use the swarm's powerful ranged countermeasures to clear out these hostile fire points one by one.
Once you've taken out most of the enemy's long-range firepower, the Dragons and Corruptor swarms can begin to fight for air supremacy, and most of the swarm will launch an assault on enemy lines under the protection of the Air Force!
In the field of vision of the Surveillance King Worm, Xue Hua had already seen the first line of defense laid out by the demons—it was a chain of stone forts built near a series of dwarf stone mountains.
Since the demons are not very good at building, these so-called "stone castles" can only be regarded as a circle of stone piles of walls, and on the walls are very simple watchtowers, in which some demon goblins or sunken mages stand.
The stone castle or something, in fact, is just a symbol of the existence of a defensive line, and it has no meaning to the swarm.
The real defensive strength of the demons is still the large group of demon troops behind the stone castle array.
Most of these demon forces placed on the outermost line of defense were low-ranking and numerous members of the Fallen Demon Clan, with only a small number of Hammerhammer Reaper and Servant Demons acting as overseers in the rear.
At the rear of the entire defense line, a blue blade demon holding a snow bright scimitar and constantly emitting electric light from his body was roaring at the gold-level captains and blue-level elites under his command, looking as if he was doing some kind of pre-war mobilization.
Beside it, there were three other demons who were also at the Dark Gold Leader level standing silently, and they seemed to be the subordinates of this short Dark Gold Blade Demon.
Seeing this scene, Xue Hua's pupils shrank, and he quickly recognized the blue blade demon holding a scimitar.
"Lacanihu!"
"What?" Hodge, who was standing beside him, was stunned for a moment, and then his face gradually changed slightly.
"You mean the legendary 'Fallen Demon Hero'?"
"Well, it can only be it." Xue Hua nodded.
"Well, that's a bit of a problem... I've dealt with us a few times, and frankly speaking, as a level 99 high-level Legendary-level demon, its pure combat power is actually not very good......"
Hodge rubbed his forehead, a look of helplessness.
"But its original form was disgusting, to the point where it could annoy people to death......"
Listening to Hodge's words, the faces of several other legendary powerhouses next to him also showed unbearable expressions, among which Okasso shivered smartly, and his face became a little blue.
This made Xue Hua feel a little curious.
What the hell is the original prototype of Lacanixiu that can make a group of legendary super fierce men feel so terrified?
"If you really can't do it, just call in the transcendents for support, right?"
Ocasso seemed very reluctant to fight Lacanixiu, and even resorted to the trick of calling the parents directly.
"No! This is just the first line of defense, call for transcendent support now, what do you want people to think of us?
A bunch of cowards? ”
Hodge shook his head firmly, this fight hadn't even started yet, and they retracted when they encountered the first difficulty, so even if this battle was won in the end, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat after a few of them went back......
"I said, what the hell is going on, is Lacanihu so disgusting?"
"It's disgusting indeed, remember what this guy's projection ability is?"
"Remember, speed and lightning enhancements, what's wrong?"
"Hmm... To put it simply, its primordial ability is to increase the strength of these two forces by an N fold and fuse them together.
When it unfolds its primordial form, it can move around at lightning speed, and it can also leave some deceptive and exploding remnants of lightning everywhere and wherever it wants... The most troublesome thing is that this guy is also resistant to magic while moving, which means that no one wants to catch it easily......"
Hodge had a headache on his face, obviously he was also played by this guy with speed at the beginning.
After listening to his narration, Xue Hua also felt a little confused for a while... Well, how did Lacanixiu's original abilities sound so familiar?
Feels like a hero from a very popular game he played in his previous life?
Right!
Storm Spirit, or "Blue Cat" for short, is a super-mobile mage-type hero in "DOTA".
Its ultimate is to transform into lightning, moving at a speed that is almost invisible to the naked eye, while also dealing damage to enemies it passes through.
And most coincidentally, Storm Spirit also uses the "Afterimage" skill that can explode......
If Lacanixiu's primordial form was really the same as the Storm Spirit, it would be very troublesome, because there was basically nothing in the swarm at this stage that could stop a level 99 high-level Darkgold Boss Demon from moving super fast.
This means that it can hit as much as it wants, run as it wants, and can raid any target it wants at will.
The most important thing is that, according to Hodge's description, this guy can still turn at high speed!
This means that it will not work to restrain the opponent by judging the direction of the opponent's movement in advance.
It's no wonder that this guy, who was still holding back the fire in his belly just now, was all deflated when he heard this guy's name, after all, no one wants their opponent to be a guy who flies around and can't be seen or touched.
However, just when Xue Hua also began to feel a little headache, a voice suddenly sounded in the mind of the main nest that he had never heard before.
"Juggernaut, that little man, just let me come~"
