Chapter 383: Demon Legion
Lott wore a helmet and watched the first images from the diplomat's family.
in the picture
Knowing that a large legion was approaching, they quickly took refuge in the nearby woods with their cameras
Not for a while
Dust and smoke billowed ahead, and when the camera zoomed in, Lott was presented with a jaw-dropping image:
The army of the undead composed of countless bones and zombies, the most terrifying of which is that they are standing more than 2 meters upright, full of swollen muscles, and their arms are as thick as half a body, and the overall appearance looks like a tank in "The Road to Survival".
There are quite a lot of these things, and they should be the main attacking force.
In addition to this, there are even taller, pitch-black monsters with two curved horns on their heads, and they walk like earthquakes.
These things are the least numerous, but the evil black aura emitted from them can encompass all the monsters around them.
Everywhere it passed, everything withered, leaving nothing but dead air.
"Are these high-level units of this group of demons?" Lott asked, looking at the black humanoid horned demons in the picture.
Wix: "They're currently the highest tier here, with a 5th tier. β
"For now? Anything else? Lott was slightly surprised.
"Yes, my lord, it will appear later in the film." The goblin replied, "I gave the knight a copy of the footage, and he's reading it. β
"Uh-huh......."
Lott replied softly, and immediately said, "Call Vader, after seeing a low-level demon with only bat wings and a small gargoyle-like body appear above the screen." β
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the Black Knight's avatar appeared in the upper left corner of the Lott helmet display.
"Good afternoon, Lord."
"What are these things, you know?" Lott asked, pointing to the menacing monster in the frame.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should already have the answer." The Black Samurai replied.
"Demon Legion, this is not as simple as ordinary undead." Lott muttered, then looked at Vader and said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?" β
"I need intelligence about them, their tactics, their physical strength, and what they fear β I need to know their weaknesses."
"Can't you just send bombers over?"
"No, my lord." The Black Knight's tone was calm and slow, "We need to know the source, and if we send fighters directly, we may reveal our location in advance, and before we find a way to deal with this group of demons, we will try to gather intelligence." β
Scouting is king!
"So?" Lott asked.
Vader paused, as if in thought, then looked up at Lott and asked, "Lord, if the knights die in battle, can you know there?" β
Death knights, sorcerers, werewolves, these belong to the family of the Demon King, and once they die, Lott will be the first to know.
The diplomat's family mimic demon, the intelligence officer's family shadow assassin, and other monsters mirrored by the main body are all not part of the demon king's direct family, so their life and death are not known.
This is done to reduce the pressure on the Demon King, after all, the conjured monsters have to die in battles with adventurers every day, and if all of them are accumulated on the Demon King, it will make him misjudge the death of some important family members.
"I sensed the death of dozens of knights and warlocks and then their rebirth in the city, didn't you do that when you exterminated the remnants of Overwatch?" Lott asked, looking at the Black Knight.
Regarding the casualties caused by the war, Vida did not shy away from it, and nodded:
"Yes, we've killed 26 knights and 12 werewolves so far, 9 of them by mistake, and 7 warlocks have been killed by sneak attacks."
That is, more than 40 soldiers died and were later resurrected in the city.
Although Lott knew, he couldn't tell the exact number, he only knew that there had been soldiers resurrected in the city since the day of the capture of Overwatch Island, and it was unknown if there were any of these soldiers in the video until now.
"Let's watch the video, maybe we can get some clues from it." Lott said.
Vader nodded, acquiescing.
........
Huge armies of demons passed before Nord's eyes like a flood.
And looking at the overwhelming evil array in front of him, the mimic demon's mood did not fluctuate in the slightest.
When the last demon disappeared from view, Nord glanced down at the hovering camera beside him, then turned to the Sorcerer Commander and asked, "And now?" β
The warlock nodded: "It's time to come out, shall we continue to face the north?" β
"Yes." Nord replied.
"You might be able to encounter more demons along the way." The Warlock reminded.
"If I die, you'll have to continue the mission until you're all dead or you've got an answer - I think you know that the lord doesn't like trouble, and if he gets troubled, it's not just you, it's all of us who are derelict in their duties!"
As he spoke, Nord pointed to the sorcerer's chest, which had long since lost his heartbeat, and emphasized again, "Don't let our gods down! β
"Naturally, sir."
Although the relationship between the warlock and the mimic demon is superior-superior, the communication between them does not have to be like the tone and expression of the human interaction.
Whatever you say, as long as the order is made clear, everything else is meaningless to the undead.
That's why Vader likes his undead minions, at least he doesn't have to think about emotions like werewolves, like fear, annoyance, worry, etc.
Bio-type units are such troubles.
"Continue north, go." Nord pointed one last time to the north, and then stepped out.
The warlock turned his head expressionlessly and waved his hand, and all the knights and werewolves around him, who were half-kneeling on the ground and waiting to be on guard, stood up and followed.
They traveled fast, and the occasional wandering zombie did not bother them, as the Dead Riders were unsure if they were independent or affiliated with a demon.
Once they are moved, it is not permissible to attract the attention of the opposing higher-ups and cause the team to be wiped out without sufficient information.
Therefore, it is better to be careful.
After a long while, several people finally arrived at what humans were talking about......
"This is where the human conjurer sends out the signal?"
What appeared in front of the eyes of several people was a triangular tower-shaped building, with a hollow in the middle, and a circle of intricate spell drawings on the ground was imprinted there.
"To whom do the human sorcerers send it as a signal station?" Nord asked, looking ahead.
"I don't know, but I think we'd better report the situation to the adults so they can be prepared."
The warlock stepped forward as he spoke, but was then grabbed by the fat man.
"What's wrong?" The warlock asked.
Nord looked at it and frowned, "Aren't you afraid that this group of demons will follow the signal to find the location of the dungeon?" β
"Don't worry, I'm sending it out in a radiant way, and no one can find out where the signal is received."
As he spoke, the sorcerer walked towards the formation map in the middle of the triangular tower, and at the same time commanded, "It may take a little time, cover me." β
When the warlock sat down on the magic circle, all of a sudden, the array glowed, and then a beam of green light rose into the sky.
Then
Bangββ!
An evil creature the size of a brown bear and covered in jagged claws burst out of the ground around it.
Bang bang bangββ!
One after another, these monsters came out of the ground.
"Enemy attack~!!"
The werewolves immediately screamed.
