Chapter 460: Misjudgment
There was no hope of escape, and the forces of the demon nobles could only fight forward. But moving forward is not so simple, and it is even more dangerous than facing the army of the demon king behind you.
The retreat of the Scarlet Knight and the Sword Dancer was very organized, and although they were bitten by the demon soldiers under the cover of the fire of the Blood Elf Mage, they still maintained their formation and retreated in front of the ranged troops.
At this time, the Scarlet Knight and Sword Dancer were used as defensive troops. The Guardian Knights and Shield Cavalry, who had been left in place, turned on their Shelter Form and Shield Wall skills to prevent the approaching demons from potentially launching ranged attacks that could damage the vulnerable mages behind them.
At the same time, various buffs were also brushed up on the Scarlet Knight and Sword Dancer. Of course, it is said that there are all kinds of skills, but in fact, the only ones that are really status skills are the Psychic Fire and Bloodthirsty Spell cast by the Blood Elf Priest. But in addition, blood elf mages above the elite level have also begun to release defensive magic.
In addition to defensive spells such as the Merry Wall and the Flame Aegis that are blessed on the frontmost melee units, various enchantment defensive spells also envelop ranged troops, including the mage himself, forming a layer of protection.
The demonic minions' ranged attacks, such as acid and bone spurs, fall on these defensive spells, and they can't break through.
Correspondingly, the attacks of the Blood Elves can quickly bring a lot of damage to the demons. Although under Yu Fei's order, those elite-level blood elf mages kept their exclusive magic and did not use them on these miscellaneous soldiers, but other magic alone was enough for these demon miscellaneous soldiers to drink a pot.
The demons are like waves, waves. The waves lapped against the reef-shaped line of blood elves. However, the Scarlet Knight, who is the main force of the defensive line, has relatively high armor and health. Now with the 50% armor bonus of PsychFire and the blessing of the magic shield. One by one, they became like turtles. It doesn't work at all.
Even those demonic miscellaneous soldiers managed to defeat some of the Scarlet Knight's health, but they were quickly added back by the Blood Elf Priest with healing, and they didn't even need the Scarlet Knight himself to use the Blood Battle characteristic to fight back against bloodsucking.
After a long attack, even with the four demon kings and the demon king's army behind them, the demon nobles and their troops began to float again. This floating mind finally erupted after Illidan in the midst of them made some moves.
Actually, Illidan didn't do much. As the highest-ranking duke among the demon nobles, he is also a rare elemental demon. The fire demon that Illidan incarnated was still quite concerned by other demons.
When he saw that the demon nobles had lost their fighting spirit, Illidan had a plan in his mind. He led his demons, still fighting hard, but quietly began to move towards the wings.
Illidan naturally knew that his actions would be seen by other demons, but what he bit was noticed by other demons. After leading his demons to the very edge of the camp of the demon nobles, Illidan did not hide his intentions.
With a command to his subordinates, the Duke of the Fire Demon transformed by Illidan turned into a line of fire and swept away into the distance. This stubble, even the four demon kings in the rear didn't react for a while.
This, this, this is too bold, isn't it? The four demon kings who were observing the battlefield were all stunned in their faces. The Demon Nobleman after receiving the Summoning Order. It is a common occurrence to run away in battle. Just like when there was a mutiny on the march before, some demons took advantage of the chaos to escape.
But that's also on the way. It's better to take advantage of the chaos and run away! In that kind of chaotic situation, it is difficult for the demon king to notice which demons have left the team either unintentionally or deliberately, and even if they escape.
However, now, on the battlefield, the demon troops and the blood elf troops are fighting clearly, and the flame demon stabbing directly leaves the battlefield, and it is difficult for people not to pay attention.
Isn't that fire demon afraid that we will settle accounts with him after the war? The idea came to the minds of the four demon kings at the same time. Soon, however, they didn't have the heart to think about what gave Illidan the courage to flee directly on the battlefield, because there were more demon nobles with this courage.
Illidan's actions set an example for the rest of the demonic nobles. The four demon kings were surprised and did not go to recover Illidan in time, and the other demon nobles believed that the demon kings were worried and did not want to attack their allies. In this way, the demons who really didn't want to be caught between the demon king's army and the blood elf army and died one after another chose to learn from Illidan.
Almost instantly, the two wings of the demonic aristocratic army were empty. Although there were blood elves in front and overseers in the back, both sides were smooth roads, and the demon soldiers began to flee after Illidan's example.
Even, some demon counts and marquis who commanded the army fled with their subordinates regardless of their identities. Anyway, the dukes who are higher than their own rank have run away, why are they still staying here to work hard? That's what these demonic nobles think.
But their escape was not as smooth as Illidan's. The four demon kings were originally going to wander in the rear, waiting for the recruited demon miscellaneous soldiers to consume some more of the strength of the blood elves before dispatching in person. But in the current situation, it seems that it is impossible to do it!
Instead of commanding in their respective direct armies, the four demon kings gathered together glanced at each other, and flew into the sky above the demon nobles' troops in unison, and one of the demon kings, Hong Zhong, began to roar angrily.
"You lowly XXX! It is your honor to recruit you to fight, and now you don't fight hard, and you dare to be deserters! ”
As he spoke, with a wave of his right arm, another demon king condensed a long wave of energy on the right wing of the demon nobles' troops, cutting a narrow pit on the ground. And the demons who originally wanted to flee here or were fleeing here were killed a lot by this energy wave.
The demon king who roared just now continued to speak: "If you want to be a deserter, there is only one end - death!" The cold voice echoed in the air, sending chills down the demon soldiers and demon nobles who wanted to escape.
The Demon King's words were very polite, but none of the demons had the courage to resist. For a long time, the Demon King has been the top class in the demon world, and his majesty has penetrated into the hearts of every demon. This is not the effect achieved by a single demon king, but the highest status established by all demon kings.
Before, it was only the army of the demon king as a prison army to supervise the troops of the demon nobles to fight, they still didn't care, they could try their best to escape; But when the four demon kings appeared in person and rebuked and threatened them, none of the demons thought about running away anymore.
Disobeying the order under the nose of the demon king, even if he succeeds in escaping by luck, he will definitely be found and killed by the demon king's power force present afterwards. Even, not only these demon kings present, but also other demon kings of the Abyss Land will cooperate to find them, the demons who have violated the unspoken rules and challenged the majesty of the demon king, and slashed them to make an example of the monkeys.
The Demon King has already stepped in, and even those demons who have fled the battlefield have had to turn around and return to the battlefield.
However, looking at their weak appearance, whether it is combat spirit or combat power, I am afraid that it has been reduced to the extreme. The four demon kings naturally saw that the demon miscellaneous soldiers who were fighting on the field could not break through the defense line of the blood elves at all. After a moment's hesitation, they ordered their immediate troops to march as well.
In the minds of the four demon kings, although the blood elf side has killed more than 20,000 demon miscellaneous soldiers before and after, it seems that the combat power is quite strong, but killing so many demons itself will not be without losses.
Not to mention, in terms of melee units, in the previous fierce battle, the Scarlet Knight had already lost half of his life, and only a thousand remained. The losses of the Sword Dancers were even heavier, and they were only a thousand of them who were outnumbered by the Scarlet Knights.
However, although the losses are heavy, the gains are not small. The Blood Elf Witches, after a long time of mending their swords, have all reached the elite level. Now not only do the Blood Elf Mages not worry about running out of mana, but the Blood Elf Priests also have enough mana to replenish.
Of course, the demons can't see this. The magic released by the blood elf mages is still endless, but the elite mages are too busy arranging defensive magic to attack anymore.
Based on this, the four demon kings made a wrong judgment - the mages of the blood elves didn't have much mana anymore, otherwise how could they not continue to release those mid-to-high-level magic that could bring a lot of damage to the demon miscellaneous soldiers?
These demon lords completely ignored the defensive magic that was flowing with light. This can't be blamed on the Demon King's lack of knowledge, but the situation in the Demon Realm is like this.
In the demon realm, the existence of magical elements is very rare. Except for elemental demons such as the Fire Demon who can easily release some spells, other demons rarely have the ability to release spells. Otherwise, the previous Goremo would not have had to fight in close combat except for exploding fireballs.
It is precisely because of the scarcity of magic elements in the demon realm that the special features of the original blood elf clan, or the special features of the Sun Stone, are reflected. Otherwise, there is nothing surprising that blood elves can cast magic at will, at most the proportion of individuals of this race who have magical talents is very high.
Because they are all magically blind, the four demon kings all think that the blood elf mage has not much mana. Immediately, the demon king's army came up by mistake under their wrong judgment. (To be continued......)
