Chapter 365: The Man Behind the Scenes

What's going on?

Roger, Prince Robin and others looked at each other, both a little inexplicable.

Once it's time for a handover, even if Roger and the others can finally successfully repel the attacking demons, the troops under their command will definitely suffer heavy losses.

However, at the critical moment when the attack of the demons was about to succeed, the devils and demons began to fight, which made Roger and the others, who were waiting for the battle, confused.

It is said that the devils and the demons are not in harmony, but regardless of the brainless demons, those cunning devils will never be the kind of people who will put the victory that is about to come, but choose to fight to the death with the enemy and then let the enemy pick up a cheap tease.

In other words, there must be something quirky in it!

"Who's there...... Notice the reason for this state of affairs? ”

Looking at the middle and low-level devils and demons who were in the scuffle in front of him, looking eager to beat out the opponent's brains, Roger, who looked very serious, looked straight at the others.

Although he is still barely maintaining his demigod-level combat power, in fact, after the big battle with Godot, Roger is now on the verge of exhaustion, and at most there is only one blow left.

Therefore, Roger has not made a move, but stared nervously at the battlefield in front of him, ready to make his last big move at the critical moment.

However, even Roger, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, didn't notice where the demon's civil strife originated, so he asked other people questions.

In the face of Roger's question, everyone else was confused.

"I ...... No...... Noting ......"

Hercules, who still had an electric current wrapped around his arm, shook his head and replied. Although he only had one arm left, Hercules, who was able to continuously throw powerful Titan arrows, was the busiest of all the powerhouses present.

If it weren't for Hercules' all-out continuous throwing of the Titan Arrow, knocking down the demons in front of him piece by piece, the already shaky defense line probably wouldn't have been able to hold on to the present.

To be precise, this line of defense has been able to hold on until now, and the tireless Titan Lord Hercules, who is a constructed body, definitely has most of the credit.

"I didn't pay attention to it either." Geralt, the desperate knight who controls a large group of skeleton shooters and skeleton mages, also shook his head repeatedly.

Aside from the loss of the summoned Yin Soul Dragon, Geralt, the current state of Geralt, the desperate knight, is actually the best of the four people who attacked before. However, he was good at melee combat and did not rush out to kill all sides at the moment, but temporarily acted as an amateur necromancer, summoning a large number of undead troops to support the defense line.

However, just in such a short period of time, Geralt, who is an amateur necromancer, was able to pull up such a large group of ranged troops of the undead lineage, which really makes people sigh that the undead line is indeed the most suitable race for protracted wars and wars of attrition.

"I didn't notice anything here either." Michael, who was holding two swords of holy flame, also said lightly.

Although he has been treated by Raphael, in fact, Michael's body has not recovered enough to fight.

However, although there was no way to do it yet, Michael, who was the chief of the Seraph, could add a lot of courage to the angels of the Angel Legion just by standing there, so the other three Seraphs did not object to Michael coming to the front line.

And Michael, who couldn't make a move, in addition to pressing the battle for the angels, also pointed out from time to time the small mistakes made by some angels who were fighting at the forefront, which made these angels benefit a lot. At the same time, Michael, who has a good view of the overall situation, also commands a team of not weak Seraphs to act as a reserve, patrolling back and forth on the entire defense line, coming to the rescue from time to time, and trying his best to delay the arrival of the moment when the defense line collapses.

But even Michael, who had been looking at the big picture, didn't notice where the chaos of the demon clan began.

Seeing that Michael, who was most likely to notice the anomaly, didn't notice anything, Roger couldn't help but shake his head a little disappointed. But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that Prince Robin, who was beside him, seemed to be in a daze.

"Uncle...... What happened to you? Roger patted Prince Robin on the shoulder with some curiosity.

Prince Robin, who seemed to have been in a daze, frowned, and replied without looking back, "I just saw it." ”

"Huh?" Roger was stunned.

"I said, I just saw the cause and specific process of the civil strife of the demon clan." Prince Robin replied angrily, still frowning and thinking about something.

“…… Well, tell me what's going on. Roger, who was confused by Prince Robin's attitude, said.

Rolling his eyes, Prince Robin, who noticed that the attention of the desperate knight Gero and the others were concentrated, raised his eyebrows, and then temporarily gave up and continued to think about something, and instead told the desperate knight Geralt and the others.

"At that time, I was searching everywhere for high-level and higher devils and demons, and then I happened to notice that a big demon suddenly seemed to go crazy and slashed at a nearby big devil with a big scythe." Prince Robin spoke eloquently, but his brow remained tightly locked, "It's actually quite common for warlike demons, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. However, just as the big devils in the vicinity were about to besiege the crazy big demon, three or four more big demons also started to go crazy. ”

"As a last resort, the Great Devils had to gather and besiege these crazy Great Demons. However, such a big movement immediately attracted the attention of the other archdemons. Seeing that some of the Great Demons were besieged by the Great Devils, the other Great Demons immediately launched support for their compatriots without thinking. Of course, maybe these big demons just want to get involved. However, as these big demons joined the battle, the middle and low-level demons under their command naturally began to attack the demons in a big way. ”

Saying this, Prince Robin's brows furrowed even tighter: "You all know what happened after that. The skirmish between the devils and the demons quickly turned into a large-scale scuffle, and as a result, all the demons and demons began to fight, but we were the main ones who had no demons to deal with. ”

And after listening to Prince Robin's narration, the strong men present also frowned. No matter how you look at it, it's obvious that there's a hint of weirdness.

"Did you find anything suspicious?" Looking at Prince Robin, whose brows were furrowed, Roger couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm." Prince Robin nodded, "The first few big demons to attack the big devils should have been hit by the mental magic of the puppet masters. ”

Saying this, Prince Robin's eyes flashed, "If those big demons are really dazed, then they should be able to ignore the indiscriminate attacks of the enemy and me." However, at that time, between those big demons and the big devils they attacked, there were still a few demon babies and horned demons, but they were completely ignored by the big demons! So, I think someone must have exerted mind magic on those big demons and deliberately provoked this chaos. ”

"It shouldn't have been our people." Listening to Prince Robin's words, Roger said very directly, "In order to maintain the stability of the defense line, everyone has been fighting until now, and all the strategic magic power should have been exhausted." ”

As he spoke, Roger also looked at Geralt, the Desperate Knight, and the others.

"That's right." Geralt nodded, "Even if anyone has a magic potion or a source of magic power, they should have used all of them by now, at least my magic potion has been used up." Moreover, if you want to control the big demons silently, and completely fail to attract the attention of those big devils, the hero who casts this mental magic must not only have a magic level of master or above, but also master the relevant magic skills such as a mental master. ”

Hearing Geralt say this, the rest of the people also understood what Prince Robin was thinking with a frown.

"Her Majesty the Holy Maiden, Ian Archmage and others are now in the magic array, and we are the only one here who is a law hero." Prince Robin said lightly, "However, everyone should know that Roger is not good at mental magic. In other words, none of us here are capable of performing that level of mental magic. ”

"Since it wasn't us, then it could only be the hero of the demon race." Roger said, "Eliminate the demon hero who has always been brainless, and the one who used that strategic magic to cause this chaos should be a devil hero!" ”

"Neither the devil nor the devil can be trusted!" Michael's hand holding the Sword of the Holy Flame tightened, and he said with a straight face, "The reason why the devil hero did this is probably because he wants us to let our guard down!" But as long as we remain vigilant and persist until the Holy Maiden completes their solidification of the gates of hell. Then, no matter what intrigues the demons have, it doesn't matter! ”

Roger and the others glanced at each other, and then they all began to command the troops under their command to shrink the defensive line. Due to the fierce bloody battle between the devils and the demons, the movement of the coalition forces was not hindered in any way.

ordered the ranged troops to replenish the arrows as soon as possible; The spellcaster meditates on the spot and recovers his magic as soon as possible; Melee units are in front of ranged units, ready to fight at any time; The flight units began to rotate, taking turns to rest; The medical unit immediately treated the wounded soldiers who were slightly wounded, and the wounded who were too seriously injured to fight again were sent straight to the rear......

Under the command of several heroic generals, the coalition forces began to be repaired in an orderly manner. While his troops quickly regained their combat effectiveness, Roger even commanded his Divine Bird Legion to send some military rations to friendly troops.

After a fierce battle, being able to eat some food can not only replenish the physical strength of the soldiers in time, but also effectively improve morale.

Of course, if these foods are hot, so much the better.

Therefore, Roger, who is well aware of the importance of logistics, has long developed a lot of military rations for the new era. Compared to the jerky of meat, bread and canned food distributed by the major forces to their troops (this thing is still from Roger's Oaks Kingdom), the various military rations that Roger sends to everyone are really much more attractive.

To Roger's dismay, Geralt's undead creatures don't need food (only vampires need some blood), the Tower of the Nine Rings doesn't need food (just replenish mana), Roger's own elemental birds don't need food, and Prince Robin's elven troops mostly eat vegetarian food (canned fruit and juice)......

Fortunately, the various military rations sent by Roger were still very popular with the spirit masters and magic apprentices of the Tower of the Nine Rings, the Terran troops belonging to the Church of the Gods, and the dragon troops of the elven forces. Aside from the fact that the dragons would complain to Roger about the lack of food, the rest of the troops in need of food were grateful to Roger for allowing them to get rid of traditional military rations such as dry jerky, much to Roger's relief.

However, after the coalition forces had all been repaired and were waiting for the attack of the demon troops, the devils and demons still did not pay attention to them.

And the mysterious hero who cast mental magic on the big demons did not appear from beginning to end, which made Roger and the others a little puzzled.

Puzzled, Roger and the others still led the troops to carefully guard the demons, waiting for Ian Archmage to complete their actions.

Time passed quickly, and as a huge pillar of light was projected on the gates of hell, the gates of hell suddenly produced a series of vibrations. But after the shock, the gate of hell quickly returned to calm, and the light of the spatial vortex in the door became much weaker.

Obviously, Ian Archmage and their solidification of the gates of hell has finally succeeded.

A blue spatial door opened beside Roger and the others, and Archmage Ian, who looked tired, immediately stepped out of the spatial door.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Archmage Ian said with a happy face, "All right! We did it! Prepare to retreat! ”

However, before Roger and the others could speak, a lingua franca with a somewhat strange accent came into the ears of Ian Archmage and the others.

"You've done your little moves, aren't you? So, we should be able to talk, right? ”

With a strange burst of laughter, a huge figure slowly emerged from the darkness in the distance.

With huge wings on his back, four sharp bone spurs under his thick claws, and a long tail dragging to the ground, Mephistopheles, the demon god with a sinister face, appeared in front of everyone! (To be continued.) )
