Chapter 495: The End [First Update]
Illidan didn't know that he had added the title of a lackey, and he was still harassing the troops of the Southern Abyss Alliance tirelessly. But soon, he realized that the enemy was no longer fooled.
For Illidan's overt and covert provocation, the Nanyuan Alliance troops were no longer flustered, but they were not as defenseless as the wolf came before, but became steady and steady.
Whenever Illidan appeared in the distance, the part of the demon kings flying in the air, although still vigilant, did not immediately send a signal for the troops to stop advancing, but paid close attention to Illidan's movements while quietly sending a warning to the other demon kings in the team.
The demon king on the ground did not move after receiving the warning, but quietly conducted a deep scan of the peripheral area of their respective responsibilities according to the pre-discussed agreement. If no danger was detected, the forces of the Southern Abyss Alliance were relieved to move on boldly—and this was the most common occurrence, as Illidan was bluffing most of the time.
And if there is really a trap, it is absolutely impossible to hide it with the ability of the Demon King to take a serious look. Because even those fire creatures whose bodies are rocks or magma in the lava country still have the breath of life, and they can only hide in the spirit of the demon king.
After the two ambush troops dispatched were detected by the demon kings of the Nanyuan Alliance and eliminated without hesitation, Illidan suddenly realized that the Nanyuan Alliance had actually learned to behave.
It seems that this is the only way to do it with the means of harassment that does not enter the stream. Being able to use this kind of bluff - perhaps it can be regarded as a combination of virtual and real methods to waste ten days of the Nanyuan Alliance's time, Illidan is already very satisfied.
But then, it's harder.
When he found out that his little tricks no longer worked. Illidan no longer used his notoriety to contain the forces of the Southern Abyss Alliance. Because they're no longer fooled anyway.
So. The marching speed of the Nanyuan Alliance troops returned to normal levels, and within a few days, they touched the volcanic area. The core area of the lava realm is where the volcanic complex is located, and it is here that the Fire Demon Emperor was awakened. In other words, the lava kingdom has been beaten to the outside of the capital.
However, although the form was rather unpleasant, Illidan was not in the least worried. Compared to the plains outside, the volcanoes are home to fire creatures.
Although there are many lava rivers exposed in the plains. It can be used by fire creatures to replenish power and drive, but how can it compare to the appearance that there is not much exposed magma on the surface; But what about the volcanic masses that actually flow thousands of meters below the crust of countless lava flows?
Even the demon kings of the Southern Abyss Alliance were still on high alert, and they suffered a big loss not long after they had just entered the volcanic area.
This time, Illidan was ruthless. Not only did he personally act as the current temporary ruler of the Lava Realm, but even several epic fire creatures of the Lava Realm took action.
With a large number of elemental creatures such as flame spirits who are good at manipulating magma flows, Illidan and several epics directly detonated more than a dozen volcanoes in a row.
Although this kind of big change in the leylines was discovered in advance by the demon king of the Southern Abyss Alliance, who was on alert because of the not weak vibration at the beginning, so that a certain degree of early warning was given, the demon army of the Southern Abyss Alliance, which was too numerous and bloated, still suffered a lot of damage.
What's more, the magma erupted from the ground after these dozen volcanoes were detonated, causing the future of the Southern Abyss Alliance to be cut off.
Originally, the demons in the Southern Abyss Alliance were not familiar with the terrain and roads in the Lava Realm, and the last time they were accidentally bumped into and the Lava Realm side deliberately guided them to a decisive battle. It was only then that the basin was found in the volcanic complex.
This time, the demons of the Southern Abyss Alliance also marched through the volcanoes with the idea of re-taking the way forward, but Illidan made this desperate plan and directly cut off the path they had traveled and still remembered about it. This time. I'm going to have to waste a lot of time trying to find the basin again.
And what Illidan holds is the mind of delaying time. As for the negative impact that the detonation of the dozen or so volcanoes would have on the surrounding environment, he was not in the least considered. Anyway, most of the Lava Realm is pure fire creatures, and this environment is long overdue.
It's just that detonating a volcano to block the way of the Nanyuan Alliance army is only an expedient measure. The volcanic group is not a 100,000-strong mountain-like existence, and the basin where the Flame Demon Emperor is located will still be found by the Nanyuan Alliance after all.
All Illidan could do was to rely on the convenience of the lava country side to be familiar with the terrain and environment, and with the advantage of attributes, to try to buy time for the recovery of the Fire Demon Emperor.
Fortunately, although the newly recovered flame creatures who participated in the battle in the Lava Realm may not be as good as the Nanyuan Alliance in terms of quantity, and even in terms of quality, they can only be compared to those miscellaneous soldiers because of the previous overdraft to awaken the Flame Demon Emperor, but as fire creatures, they are like fish in water in this magma-ridden volcanic group.
Under Illidan's arrangement, the recruited flame creatures did not gather together to fight head-on with the Nanyuan Alliance, which had an advantage in overall strength, but divided into teams of tens of thousands and hundreds to carry out sparrow warfare.
The fire creatures are familiar with the terrain, and most of them are free to move freely in the magma, and it is impossible to prevent harassment from the lava flowing everywhere in the volcanic complex.
After receiving a few painful lessons, the demon forces of the Southern Abyss Alliance had to be carefully scanned by the Demon King before passing through a volcano and crossing a magma river. But even so, due to the bloated team, they are still attacked by the Lava Realm side from time to time.
During this period, Illidan also took action in person again, using the talent of the fire demon to cast the volcanic eruption skill several times, which also caused great trouble to the Nanyuan Alliance troops. And the demons' resentment towards the name Gusmo is also deeper.
Illidan used all kinds of means, and with the advantage of the location, it really greatly delayed the march speed of the Nanyuan Alliance troops. And during the time he delayed, more of the inhabitants of the Lava Realm gradually regained their strength and participated in the war.
There are more than two million flame creatures in the entire lava country, and the Nanyuan Alliance can be said to be caught in the ocean of people's war.
If it weren't for the fact that the Nanyuan Alliance's superiority in high-end combat power was too huge this time, Illidan even felt that the inhabitants of the Lava Realm alone could destroy the forces of the Nanyuan Alliance. And now, more and more fire creatures are only able to continue to slow down the advance of the Nanyuan Alliance forces.
Finally, twenty-three days after the demons of the Southern Abyss Alliance entered the volcanic complex, they found their way to the central basin of the volcanic complex again. Along the way, the fire creatures on the Lava Realm side went crazy, and many of them launched suicide attacks in an attempt to buy time for the Fire Demon Emperor.
And in the face of such an attack by the Lava Realm side, regardless of the damage, the Nanyuan Alliance was also in a hurry, and more than twenty demon kings were very busy. However, now that they had found their way to their destination, these were nothing more than scabies, and in the end, after a few more days of rapid marching, the troops of the Nanyuan Alliance finally reached the basin.
At this point, nearly two months had passed since the Southern Abyss Alliance launched its second war against the Lava Realm. In less than two months, although the 800,000 demon army had the experience of the last time, it had lost more than 200,000 because it faced more enemies.
Fortunately, the losses were all conscripted demon miscellaneous soldiers, and the main force of this war was those demon king-level powerhouses, which made the Nanyuan Alliance still have strong confidence.
The basin in the center of the volcanic complex was large, but it was a bit crowded in front of the 600,000 demon forces and the many more flame creatures. Here, a big war with more than one million troops participating in the war is about to be staged. (To be continued......)
