Chapter 454: The Disturbance Caused by the Mouth
Although Illidan has blended into the inner part of the demon army, he has little to do with other demons. Of course, it's not just him, most of the demons in the demon army are divided into different forces, and few of them are together.
Except for the army led by the four demon kings, the armies of the rest of the demon nobles were completely motley armies. There is no way, the demon nobles who responded to the call to help each other rarely know each other, and neither of them is willing to obey the orders of others, so they can only form an independent formation in the mode of a small detachment.
This is also a typical problem in the Demon Realm, or the Abyss Land. The number of Castlevania in the Abyssal Land has never been less than a hundred, and in the long years, except for the time when the Flame Demon Emperor intended to conquer the Abyssal Land, most of the Castlevania Cities were united, and there were few more Castlevania Cities united.
It's not that there are no benefits of the Demon Knowing Dao Alliance, but this kind of "smart" demon is often a thing of the past because his ally stabbed him in the back.
Under the effect of the upper and lower levels, there are naturally few alliances between the demon nobles. What's more, the Demon Nobles only refer to this title, which may be seized by other powerful demons at any time. In this way, the already hopeless union is even more unlikely.
The lack of intersection on weekdays in this large army, which was forcibly mixed together by the conscription order, magnified into the fact that there was no joint action, but gradually gave rise to some friction. These few frictions almost led to a mutiny.
In fact, the source of the matter is not a big deal, after all, the territories of the demon nobles are all in different places, and the ownership of the nobility is constantly changing. The demon nobles gathered together rarely had any old hatreds.
But there is no old hatred. This does not mean that new contradictions will not arise. Illidan has always existed as a bystander. Instead, he observed the whole process of the incident that almost led to a mutiny in the demon army from beginning to end.
Because there were hundreds of demon nobles with different titles who responded to the conscription order, but these demon nobles did not have a clear boss, so the four demon kings put the army of the demon nobles at the forefront of the march after some discussion.
In addition to using these motley armies as cannon fodder on their backs, the four demon kings also have the intention of preventing these motley armies from sneaking away. If the army of the demon nobles was placed behind the armies of the four demon kings, they estimated that they would probably run away half of them by the time they reached the Scarlet Mountain.
It is true that these demon nobles responded to the call, but this is because they have to respond, otherwise they are violating the rules of the social composition of the demon world. However, now they have come with an army, and they have registered with the Demon King who originally sealed their current title. The next thing to make it clear is that it can be withdrawn.
Anyway, the conscription has already responded, and the name has been registered, even if he escapes, he can only be regarded as cowardice or strike, and he has not violated the rules. In this way, there will be many demon nobles who choose to avoid the war and not contribute to the four demon kings.
The demon nobles also knew that this kind of war under the conscription of the Dao Dao, even if they got any benefits in the end, they would definitely be divided by the four demon kings, and they nobles might not even be able to drink the soup.
However, on the contrary, the demon nobles who are recruited in this kind of war are often used as the vanguard by the demon king - to put it bluntly, cannon fodder.
The loss is their own maximum. There is no benefit at all, and the devil with a little brain will not be willing. Therefore. It is not uncommon for demons to run away from demons on the march, or even if the demon nobles lead the army.
In order to prevent this from happening, the four demon kings put the scattered army led by the demon nobles at the forefront. In this way, with the surveillance of the demon king's army behind, there will not be too many demons who can successfully escape.
But in this way, it caused disaster. Although the armies of the four demon kings were not very neat, they were much better than the troops of the demon nobles who were in their own ways, so they advanced faster.
The troops in the rear advance faster, which naturally creates a situation where one person is rushing people. In the rear of the demon aristocratic army, the part of the troops that were close to the demon king's army had to increase their advance speed to avoid being hit by the rear troops under the accelerated advance of the demon king's army in the rear. There is no way, after all, the demon nobles still don't dare to break their wrists with the demon king, so they can only follow the speed of others.
And the demon noble troops in front of them also had to increase their speed under the acceleration of their own troops further behind. In this way, the increase in the speed of the march was transmitted rapidly forward like a wave of waves.
It's just that the back wave will always hit the front wave. There are always some demons who don't pay attention or notice it, and don't care about the increase in the overall marching speed, and still go their own way, chatting slowly.
There are especially many such demons at the front and middle of the military formation. Behind them was not the army of the Demon King, but the army of the same Demon Nobles. There is even a demon duke's army that may be followed by just an earl.
In this case, without the deterrent power of the Demon King, there are naturally some demons who do not want to be driven away because the demons behind them increase their marching speed. Some demons speed up, and some demons are unwilling to run faster, and collisions are inevitable.
It started out with just a demon under the Demon Count crashing into a demon under the Demon Duke - something that would definitely happen with a negative relative velocity.
Demons rarely have good tempers, and the demons that are bumped into will naturally not be the very few. After being hit, he scolded the demon who hit him angrily, and the words translated into Chinese were similar to "I am in such a hurry to be reincarnated".
The demon under the earl is also aggrieved, and he didn't mean to hit people, who made the people behind increase the speed of the march and you don't hurry up? In addition, the demon's scolding was more ugly, so he retorted in a low voice.
This can poke the hornet's nest, and the demon who was knocked down dared to talk back when he saw the other party, and he was angry, and he stepped forward with a mouth. Immediately afterwards, he started scolding, to the effect that a little earl's subordinates dared to be so arrogant, and dared to refute when they bumped into someone and were reprimanded.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the demon count came forward. This demon count is also a violent temper, and when he saw that his subordinates and even himself were being scolded, he also took action to repair the demon that was hit with hatred. Although the demon who was hit was a duke's subordinate, his strength was not as strong as that of the earl, so he was given more mouths.
The Demon Count was refreshed, but he was in even greater trouble. When his subordinates were beaten, the duke naturally would not turn a blind eye. A little demon count would dare to repair his own men? Don't you want to live anymore?
The Demon Duke did not take action himself, but ordered his subordinates to repair the Demon Count and his troops. In the process of repairing, the Demon Duke's subordinates caused some accidental injuries.
These accidental injuries combined with the fact that the troops in more places collided because of this riot, and soon the entire demon noble's troops gradually became rioting.
Either a demon count here and another demon count collided with each other, or a demon marquis there started a fight with a demon duke because he was accidentally injured.
Because it was a fight caused by the mouth before, the demon duke's subordinates who had conflicts with people at the beginning often chose the extremely insulting way of beating people in the mouth when they "took revenge".
After going back and forth, the demon who was accidentally injured was beaten in the mouth, and naturally he wanted to find someone to return it, so he caught a demon that did not belong to him and slapped it with Piapia.
At the end of the day, the riots caused by a few mouths intensified, and even many demons stopped moving forward and started fighting. Some demons who would become full of battle and even madness when they saw blood even ignored it, and began to kill their allies. (To be continued......)
