Chapter 493: Three Affairs

Compared to the first attack on the Lava Realm, the demons of the Southern Abyss Alliance appeared to be more experienced. Among the 800,000 demon troops, although most of them were conscripted demon nobles' private troops, some of them were elites from various Castlevania cities.

In particular, among these troops are the 100,000 demon soldiers who survived the first attack on the Lava Realm. These 100,000 demon soldiers can be said to set an example for other demons, and with experience, they can lead and guide other demon soldiers to avoid the ubiquitous magma crypts in the lava country.

And the more than twenty demon kings sent by the Nanyuan Alliance this time were also vigilantly flying in the air, beware of possible attacks. This time, the Nanyuan Alliance can be said to have poured out, and if it fails again, it will really collapse, and it will even be conquered by the demonic forces in other places.

Just inside a magma river not far from the march route of the Southern Abyss Alliance's demon army, Illidan was secretly speechless. The Nanyuan Alliance is really coming, and it has actually dispatched so many troops. Although we have learned an approximate number from the Father, imagining it and seeing it with our own eyes are two different things.

In fact, it is not unheard of in Illidan on the continent of Ezraz to see wars in millions, but how can those weak humans be compared to the demon forces? Although most of these 800,000 demon troops are not elite, they can even compete with the two human empires if they are placed in Eslaze.

However, these troops are not the key, and Illidan has a deep eye. Although it is true that this group of demon troops did not suffer as much damage as they did in the first attack on the Lava Realm, it did not mean that they could move freely within the Lava Realm.

Opposite. Most of these are seemingly huge demonic forces made up of demonic miscellaneous soldiers. In Illidan's eyes, it was even better to solve than the previous 300,000 demon troops. It's just that. It's really hard to deal with the nearly fifty epic-level powerhouses.

All the demon kings of the Nanyuan Alliance, except for less than ten who stayed in the rear to guard against possible attacks by the demonic forces in other regions, were all dispatched. With the twenty heroes sent by the undead, Illidan really couldn't find a way to counter it.

With so many epic powerhouses, even if Illidan recovers his body and appears as a mythical demon hunter, it will be a tragedy. But compared to the worries of other epic fire creatures in the Lava Realm. Illidan seemed more relaxed.

As an undercover agent, Illidan didn't take the epic flame creatures seriously. Anyway, with the chicken feathers and arrows sent by the Flame Demon Emperor, he didn't worry that those flame creatures didn't listen to his command.

Compared to those fire creatures who are truly loyal to the Lava Nation, Illidan does not care about the fate of the Lava Nation despite his appearance of being a common enemy on the surface, and even taking the initiative to investigate the situation as the temporary Supreme Commander.

Even if the Lava Realm was destroyed by the Nanyuan Alliance, the Nanyuan Alliance would definitely suffer heavy losses. On the whole, the strength of the entire Demon Realm will be weakened by a quarter or even more after this battle that is destined to be a lose-lose battle.

In Illidan's mind, or rather Yu Fei's mind, this battle was a life-and-death battle between the Southern Abyss Alliance and the Lava Nation. But secretly it means something else to them.

This secret meaning is actually divided into three parts. There are also different priorities.

First and foremost, it was Yu Fei's purpose in coming to this demon realm, the Heart of Darkness. He was almost certain that the Flame Demon Emperor must know about the Heart of Darkness, but he didn't want to reveal it to others, even if this "other" was his own subordinate and kindred.

In this battle, no matter what kind of thoughts the Flame Demon Emperor has, he will definitely fight. Otherwise, there would be a huge disparity in strength between the Lava Realm and the Nanyuan Alliance, which had received the support of the undead, and it would definitely be a one-sided situation. And if it plays, Illidan, who is ostensibly an epic firedemon but is actually a mythical demon hunter, will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, or obtain the whereabouts of the Dark Heart.

The second, and secondary, is to explore the true strength of the undead and the purpose of their sudden participation in this war.

As an undead who is very likely to be a traverser like himself, Yu Fei is highly concerned. They suddenly changed their faces and took risks to participate in this war as the so-called Undead Demon Domain, and they couldn't help but not care about what was hidden in it.

The last item is to consume the vitality of both parties. This item is also very important, after all, it is consuming the overall strength of the demon world, but compared to the first two, it is not so important, and secondly, it is easier to do it with Illidan, a high-level undercover agent, and Yu Fei is not very concerned.

It's just that now, the first and second items are difficult to do—the Fire Demon Emperor ignored Illidan's call and did not respond; The undead are hiding in the army of the Nanyuan Alliance. As a last resort, Illidan had no choice but to start the third business first.

If only with the hundreds of thousands of flame creatures who fought against the demon army in the basin of the volcanic region last time, Illidan definitely did not have the confidence to resist the 800,000 demon army. With such a large disparity in numbers, the fire creatures are not night elves or blood elves with various special abilities, and even if Illidan shows mythical strength, it will be difficult to turn the tide.

Fortunately, as one of the four regions of the Demon Realm, although the Lava Realm is much smaller than the Abyssless Land, it is not only a hundred thousand flame creatures.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of fire creatures living in the lava country and some demons that are biased towards fire attributes is more than two million. If it weren't for such a huge number, it would have been impossible for the Flame Demon Emperor to intend to unify the Demon Realm back then.

It's just that when awakening the Fire Demon Emperor, the vast majority of the inhabitants of the Lava Realm sacrificed their strength to make the Fire Demon Emperor wake up in advance. This makes them in a state of "detachment" for a while, unable to exert their combat effectiveness.

It was precisely because of this that the last time the Nanyuan Alliance attacked, only a hundred thousand flame creatures would fight.

And this time, the Nanyuan Alliance came with the voice of 800,000 troops, but it couldn't meet the enemy with just these hundreds of thousands of flame creatures. Although many of the inhabitants of the Lava Realm have not fully recovered their combat effectiveness, Illidan and other epic fire creatures have issued a conscription order similar to that of Castlevania to recruit demon nobles.
