Chapter 214: The retreat is broken
"Whoa......
With a sound, a sea elemental carrying a Yingzhou sailor boarded the Royal Knight. The waterman was not dead yet, Roger and Kerr leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, they found that the waterman's eyes had a clear blood-red glow.
This is the most striking trait of demonic blood.
In fact, the blood of the devil also has a similar effect, but the devil clan has always been thirsty for a large number of souls, so they prefer to play with people's hearts through contracts, curses and other means, while controlling the nobles of various countries to set off one war after another, so as to harvest souls on a large scale.
The demon clan, which advocates destruction and destruction, is not so particular, and their ultimate goal is to slaughter all living beings, destroy all environments, and turn the main plane into a scorched earth. To the creatures of the main plane, the blood of demons is nothing less than poison. However, although a large amount of demonic blood will directly poison living beings, or turn survivors into monsters, a small amount of demonic blood will only slowly "pollute" the body of living beings, making living beings continue to transform into demons.
This process usually lasts for a period of time, during which time creatures tainted by demonic blood will gain "powerful" power as a result of the demon's blood.
On the one hand, since the body of the polluted person is constantly transforming into a demon body, its physical fitness will be significantly improved. On the other hand, the life potential of the polluted person will also be completely exploded by the stimulation of demonic blood, so that the ability of the polluted person will be improved in all aspects. Under the dual effect, the strength of the polluted person is often much stronger than before the pollution.
But it is not without cost.
Creatures tainted by demonic blood are constantly affected by demonic blood. As a result, they become bloodthirsty and cruel, gradually moving towards madness, until they finally destroy themselves. And the abundance of life potential. It will also cause the vitality of the polluted person to decrease sharply, and once the polluted person has been polluted for too long, even if the polluted person does not kill himself, he will die due to the exhaustion of his life force.
Even if there are a few "lucky people" who successfully survive this hurdle and their bodies are completely transformed into demon bodies, they only become the demon servants at the bottom of the demon clan.
Although they are not as hierarchical as the devils, the low-level demons are completely unable to disobey the orders of the higher-ranking demons. In particular, the orders of the main body from the demon's blood are almost absolutely inviolable.
In spite of oneself!
Such a terrible thing, as long as it is not brain-dead in normal people. Generally, they don't take the initiative to touch it. But there are always exceptions to everything, and there will always be some people who are eager for power, and for reasons such as "revenge" and "becoming stronger", they will often take the initiative to drink this "poison".
But the one in front of him has been completely controlled by the blood of demons. Yingzhou Shuifu, who is completely immersed in the impulse of destruction. Apparently not those strong-willed "avengers" or "strong ones".
"What about the losses?" After confirming that these Yingzhou sailors had indeed been controlled by the demon's blood, and allowing the sea elemental to throw this Yingzhou sailor into the sea, Roger asked Kerr.
"Minimally." Ke'er said very calmly, "It should be because their own strength is not very strong, so the strength of these demonized Yingzhou sailors is not high, and these sailors who are in madness don't know how to cooperate at all, so they are easily overwhelmed by the Water Element Legion." ”
"That's fine." Roger nodded, "As long as the navy can take the advantage." Even if our operation fails, we will be able to have a safe way out. ”
"The water elementals told me. All the nearby marine life ran out. Ke'er still said something that made Roger change his face with an indifferent face, "It is initially inferred that those fish-man troops that have not yet appeared are probably also in a state of demonization, so the sea creatures that feel the danger have fled here." ”
"Demon Fishman? Can you handle it? Roger was suddenly a little worried.
"I haven't met my opponent yet, so I'm not sure." Ke'er looked at the Water Elemental Legion, which had completely suppressed the Edo Water Army, and said a little lazily, "But no matter what the enemy is, I will do my best to ensure the safety of the waterway." ”
Tugging at the corners of his mouth, Roger didn't say anything. It's not that he doesn't trust Kerr's abilities, it's just that he always has some bad premonitions.
However, to Roger's surprise, the next two days were calm days, and no enemy appeared in front of him.
Something went wrong, and Roger and Alice and the others were faintly worried, after all, the situation was not clear was actually the most troublesome situation. For this reason, Roger, Alice, Grannie and others deduced again and again the reaction that the Tokugawa family might have. But in any case, Roger and the others couldn't understand why the Tokugawa family didn't send any other interception troops except for the wave of Edo naval forces.
However, when Roger's fleet entered Edo Bay, and Edo Castle was already in sight, the fishmen suddenly appeared.
The first to notice that something was wrong was Melia, who was acting as the lookout for the Royal Knight.
At that time, the fleet had slowly entered Edo Bay, and all the troops were ready to fight, and Melia, who was still paying attention to the movements around her, suddenly noticed that there was something unusual in the rear of the fleet.
Edo Bay, which had been calm and calm, suddenly had big waves, and these waves were strangely only at the back of the fleet. Melia looked at it and gasped.
"Enemy attack! A large number of fish-people appear in the rear! Quantity...... Immeasurable! Melia, who had always been calm, shouted a little more panicked, and Roger also used the [Eye of Knowledge] to look behind him for the first time.
As far as the eye can see, a large number of fish-people completely cover the sea! Countless fish-men fluttered on the surface of the sea, rushing straight towards Roger's fleet!
And these fish-men have strange scarlet eyes!
In the middle of this large number of fishmen, there is a fishman hero who fought once sat on a big shell, and the hero halo under his feet completely covered all the fishmen!
"Bastard! That fish-man is actually a city lord-level hero? And the number of these fish people is as high as 100,000! Are you kidding! "Through the system, the number of enemy troops is quickly counted. Roger couldn't help but gasp, just like everyone else.
100,000 Fishmen! Even if all of them are low-level fish-man warriors, this number is enough to overwhelm Roger's sailor army! After all, Roger's sailor army is only more than 10,000!
"Don't worry. In the name of the Water Elemental Heroes, I swear that no fish's head will ever touch you until I fall! With a serious face, Keer slowly walked to the side of the boat, and then jumped directly into the sea.
And the Naga Sword Saint and the Mermaid Warlock also followed closely behind, and they all returned to the sea, and the sea element and ice elemental troops that were already in the sea had already begun to march towards the merman army.
"Woo Ang ......"
Eleven dragon whales also surfaced. The iron cannon snails attached to the dragon whale immediately flew towards the fish-man army. However, the iron cannon snail, which was usually able to penetrate even the body of the dragon whale, only drew a blood flower in the army of fishmen, and was directly submerged by a large number of fishmen.
However, the impact of the iron cannon snail also somewhat disrupted the rhythm of the fishmen's assault. Immediately, the sea elementals met the army of fish people head-on, and the fierce collision caused a large amount of sea water to splash up, as if two huge waves had collided!
From the surface of the sea to the bottom of the sea, countless sea elements and ice elements directly engage in fierce battles with the fish! The battle was heated from the start. Relying on strength is stronger. The sea elementals attack against each other. Beat the fish people back and forth. The Naga Swordmasters are used as support troops, and once there is a hole in the defense line, the Naga Swordmaster wielding six knives will rush to the gap, and easily plug the gap with his strong strength. Even if the Naga Swordmaster is not in place sometimes, there will be mermaid warlocks who can control the enemy forces in time to gain some time for the Hydro Legion and the Naga Swordmaster.
However, everyone understands that the numerical advantage of the fish people is too great, and it is difficult for the water army to hold out for too long.
"Kerr. You have to be careful. Rabbit looked worriedly at where the trolls were fighting, and Tuna and Wendy had worried looks on their faces.
"The reason why it has been triggered has not been triggered. So you plan to destroy us completely, what a big appetite! Gritting his teeth and retracting his gaze to the rear, Roger immediately ordered: "The whole army has it, immediately start the assault on Edo Castle!" ”
"Aren't you going to support Kerr's sailors? Relying on the current water army alone, just to block the impact of the fishmen is quite reluctant, and the defense line may collapse at any time! Alice's face was also ugly, but she was quick to make a suggestion to Roger.
"It's useless! 100,000 fishmen are crowded together, and we can't rush out in a short time! If we are attacked by the enemy at this time, we will most likely feed all the fish with the enemy on our backs! Roger didn't look back and directly ordered Wendy to take the druid troops to urge the wind magic array, and Wendy, who would raise the bar with Roger in the past, did not hesitate to carry out the order this time. Surrounded by strong winds, the fleet quickly rushed to a shoal quite far from Edo Castle.
The smaller boats rushed directly onto the beach, and the soldiers on board immediately jumped off the boats, and immediately lined up on the beach, nervously guarding against all movements in the woods by the beach.
The medium and large ships, with the help of Wendy and the Hurricane Elementals, all faced the shallows from small to large sides, and the side of the ship quickly set up planks, and groups of soldiers poured out of the cabin, and then quickly rushed to the ship closest to the beach in a queue, and then jumped directly from the boat, and then began to line up.
In this way, the ship's troops quickly assembled on the shore. But after all, the number of troops under Roger's command is as high as tens of thousands, and it is not at all possible to land in a short period of time.
The elites of the mercenary kingdom who were the first to get off the ship were able to tidy up their formation, and when the fire elemental legion on the side was still a little chaotic, there began to be a strange noise in the forest.
Watching all kinds of birds and finches fly out of the forest in a panic, and then the big trees continue to fall, Roger's face can't help but sink.
Panting, a fiery red eighth-order great demon brandished a giant scythe and slashed through the big tree that was blocking their way, and appeared in front of Roger and the others.
The grinning demons did not directly attack Roger's troops, but began to chop down the trees around them as if no one was around, clearing out a small patch of scorched earth. Then a group of flag-bound samurai wearing blood-red armor slowly walked out of the ranks of the Great Demon, these eighth-order samurai with obvious demonic characteristics were waving the banner of the Tokugawa family, as well as the banner of the Ii family.
And surrounded by demonic warriors, a Yingzhou military general in blood-red armor slowly appeared in front of Roger on a blood-red hell horse, his eyes were scarlet, and the general's appearance was unusually handsome, but under the backdrop of the big demons around him, it gave people a different sense of terror.
The Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa, Akaki, Naomasa Ii!
The Ii family's troops did not directly attack Roger's troops, but quietly watched Roger's troops line up on the beach under the leadership of Ii Naomasa. And Naomasa Ii, who was riding a hell horse, had a weird smile on his face.
That look was like looking at a herd of lambs to the slaughter!
"I'll do it." Alice said slowly, the battle intent in her eyes had already ignited, "The angel troops under my command are already a little overwhelmed, and now only the troops under my command have been assembled." If I don't stop the enemy with my troops, they will be able to easily crush our disembarking troops. ”
"The other side is very strong, and the number of troops under his command is unknown, so be careful." Roger nodded helplessly, "But the number of your troops is too small after all, I'll let someone help you." ”
Before Alice could reply, Roger shouted, "Elidan! ”
"Finally, is it our turn?" Holding two huge moon blades, Elidan, whose strength had reached the eighth order, slowly walked to Roger's side, "Moon Blade Dancer troops, ready to go out at any time!" ”
Roger couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Although your strength is already the eighth order, most of the three thousand Moon Blade dancers under your command are fifth-order strength, right?" Honestly, I will lead my troops into the jungle and harass the enemy troops from the flanks and rear! You will never be allowed to fight the enemy head-on with your troops! Did you hear me clearly? ”
"It's just support, forget it, just have a fight." Elidan's lips pursed boredly, and without looking at Alice, she whistled past the Moonblade Dancers. The skilled Moonblade Dancers did not interfere with the disembarking troops, but jumped from the sides of the unplanked bow and stern towards the beach, and then rushed straight into the woods.
Naomasa Ii glanced at the Moon Blade Dancer troops very casually, and seeing that the Moon Blade Dancers were only fifth-order strength, he snorted with disdain, and then waved his hand. One of the demonized banner warriors behind him immediately nodded, and the rest of the demonized banner warriors immediately rushed into the woods.
Roger spread his hands to Alice helplessly: "I'm sorry to let you see the joke, but Elidan's ability can still be trusted." In addition, Wendy's Air Elemental Legion will be ready to meet your troops at any time, so if you really can't beat the opponent, remember to call for support directly. ”
Giving Roger a blank look, Alice snorted coldly, jumped off the boat with Granny and the others, and quickly rushed to his troops.
As soon as the troops converged, Alice directly pulled out the Demon Breaking Sword at her waist, and immediately attacked the demon troops of the Jing family with the excellent swordsman troops and angel troops without hesitation. The decisiveness of its attack surprised the "red ghosts" on the opposite side.
"Uh, did I say something I shouldn't have said?" Roger asked speechlessly, and then he was even more speechless to see that the rest of the people, including the honest Tuna, nodded. (To be continued.) )
