Chapter Seventy-Six: Iron Lake!
The demon lords are forever fighting among themselves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But there is one thing that can unite them for the time being, and that is - the Abyss Blood War!
There was a very strange phenomenon during the time of the Abyss Triumvirate, that is, the Dark Monarch and Demogorgen were fighting to the death in the lower layers of the Abyss, while the Blood War Legions of both sides joined forces with the Devil Legion near the Iron Melting Lake. At that time, the Iron Melting Lake had not yet been lost, and as one of the most important strongholds of the demons, it was an important force capable of fighting the demons at that time. The productivity of the bottomless abyss is extremely low, and to some extent, he is not even qualified to carry shoes for the devil, and when there was the Iron Melting Lake, he could barely compete with the devil, but after losing the Iron Melting Lake, the metal production capacity of the Abyss Demon could not be self-sufficient.
The Abyss of the Abyss is now largely met by demon smuggling.
However, after Sauron seized the Bottomless Abyss, this situation began to ease somewhat, especially after opening the link between Modo City and the Bottomless Abyss, Modo City could absorb and digest the minerals occupied by Sauron, and then in turn provide weapons and armor to the Demon Legion.
At this time.
The mighty demon army has approached the vicinity of the Iron Melting Lake.
The first few devil strongholds were bulldozed by the demons' easy use of crowd tactics, and Zoro's demon guards didn't even have a chance to play.
But!
Iron Lake is no ordinary stronghold, it is garrisoned by the main army of the Devil and has a huge steel fortress.
The core of the lake is Ferrag.
A massive steel fortress sits near the Iron Lake, originally built by demons and then rebuilt by demons. Like a string of natural white-hot furnaces filled with molten iron, the lake has always been an important stronghold for demons and demons. Since the fall of the first lord, Ferrag has entertained countless demon legions interested in gathering iron to build other steel fortresses. Due to the great importance of the demons to iron ore, the devil's strike force often attacked the lake, which was once used as the command center of the demon legions that protected the lake under the direct responsibility of Demogorgen.
However, at the end of the Abyss Triumvirate, the Devil Legion took over the area and seized control of the Iron Lake.
From that time on, the demon who had lost his strategic point became more and more disadvantaged.
Sauron's goal is to take the Iron Lake, as long as he captures this natural furnace, then there will be no enemies in the first layer of the Abyss who can stop him, and the other demon legions can quickly gain armed forces.
At this time.
Millions of demon legions are already closing in.
As the supreme commander of the Demon Alliance, Zoro commands all the troops, and most of the legions sent by the other Demon Lords are cannon fodder, and they are satisfied if they can survive a fifth of them. Therefore, these demon lords do not care about victory or defeat, nor do they mind handing over command to Sauron. Since the outbreak of the Abyss Blood War, almost any battle demon has to pay huge casualties, and half of the battle damage ratio is small, and the demons that can survive can grow quickly.
Although the number of demons is huge, the main force is still not large.
But this time the bloody battle was obviously different from the past, that is, the number of high-level demons had increased significantly, and these were mainly Sauron's followers.
They also believe that Sauron needs a counterattack in a bloody battle to complete the transformation from a 'demon giant' to a 'demon prince', and only by defeating the devil in a bloody battle can Sauron's reputation as superior to other demon lords be established.
No other demon lord can defeat the Devil Legion.
But their masters not only defeated the devil, but also recovered the first layer of the bottomless abyss, the 'Plains of the Abyss', so who is qualified to oppose Him?
The steel fortress in front of you is huge.
Although many of the Devil's Blood War Legions have been deployed to the material plane, there are still three legions here, with about 50,000 Devil troops.
More than a million against fifty thousand troops.
It may seem like a huge advantage, but when the real battle begins, reality brutally slaps the demon in the face.
The first wave of nearly 100,000 demon cannon fodder advanced, and under the devil's disciplined and dense firepower, they didn't even touch the edge of the steel fortress, and the devils laughed and harvested tens of thousands of heads, and then watched the piles of low-level demons collapse.
The rank of the devil is higher, and the movement of troops is strictly forbidden.
It is not at the same level as the rabble of demons, and many of the demons who came with them felt a little chilled when they saw the battle situation.
"The Berserker Formation is ready to go."
Zoro looked down at all this from a high place, he knew that there was no point in letting the low-level demons go to death at this time, this was a tough battle rather than a field battle, and the role of the low-level demons was very small.
Following Sauron's orders, some berserkers with heavy weapons and armor appeared.
These demons made the demon army feel a little uneasy, as they had never seen such a fully armed demon army, and at the same time, a formation of six-armed snake demons appeared in the rear, they were not only well-armed but also wearing full-body armor. In the past, such a force could only be possessed by the Demon Giant's Core Guard, and now they saw a very exaggerated number.
The tide of battle began to change.
The roaring Bone Demon was crushed, the Deep Hell Purgatory Demon flying in the sky was shot down by the Barrot Flame Demon, and under the cover of the Berserker Demon, the six-armed snake demon army managed to approach the Steel Fortress, and then attacked a stronghold.
"The Fire Demon Force is dispatched."
Zoro's face suddenly became happy, and he said decisively: "It's time for the Yugros Demon to play." ”
Some demon mercenaries from other planes joined the battle, most of them from the Scorching Hell, and with the aura of the Lord of Death behind Sauron, the demons stood on the demon side this time.
The battle went into a strangulation.
Even though they had already broken through the corner, the devils stubbornly resisted the attack and tried several counterattacks.
In just three rounds of fighting, thousands of mid-level demons were killed, while the six-armed snake demon also killed more than a dozen, and the Baro Flame Demon killed two, and the casualties were even greater than attacking other demon lords. However, the huge casualties also brought greater results, and the proportion of the Devil's Legion battle losses reached about 20%.
Twenty percent of the casualties don't seem like much, but the Devil's Legion has a total of about 50,000 after all.
The demon army still numbered millions, which suddenly made many demons full of confidence, and the giant bull demon took the initiative to join the battle, and a force of more than fifty eye demons was also dispatched.
This is the reinforcement of the Eye Demon Grand Master, because the number of Eye Demons is small, and the size of the entire team is only three hundred.
Beholders are probably the deadliest of all the powerful monstrous races, as well as the most deformed-looking.
They have terrifying lethality that even the devil will be difficult to deal with.
A group of Eyefiers can form a dense light cover attack, and when they are on the dominant side, it is almost equal to a moving turret. The fortress of the Iron Dissolved Lake in front of him is gradually close to collapse, the demon is a creature that likes to beat the water dogs, after the devil has suppressed it for so long, seeing that his side has gained an advantage, many demon armies of other levels do not even listen to Sauron's dispatch, and take the initiative to join the battle group to harvest heads.
In the Abyss Blood War, there have always been demons seeking promotion who have taken the initiative to join.
