Chapter 20: The Fallen
After sending the demons back to the ship, a demonic elf who heard the news found Shuzenar, who had returned to the square.
Compared to her down-and-out kind, the elf still retains a noble temperament, and apart from the green glow of her eyes due to evil powers, this elf is no different from the ordinary upper elves - yes, this elf was submitted to the Legion 10,000 years ago, and is now one of the leaders of those who have joined.
"I got word from my juniors, you seem to be looking for a good ally. "The elf's face was delicate, her skin was as tender as an albumen, but the mark on her body, imprinted by Kil'Gardan's own hands, had already belonged. The Mark of Kil'Gardan gave her the same status as the Demon Lords, and it was because of this that she was able to assemble an army made up entirely of the Fallen.
"I'll punish those whistleblowers when I go back, witches. "The other party's arcane level is far above Shuzenar, and even getting close will feel pressure.
"It's our tradition, and the Legion has promised to respect it. ”
"But that's under conditions that don't conflict with the Legion's system. Schüzenar said this, of course, only as a pretext, for the Legion, the greed and disloyalty of the Fallen had long been known far and wide.
"I'm here to show my sincerity, not to argue, Dreadlord, and you'll see how wonderful it is to work with the Followers. ”
"yes, I'd like to experience it now—" Shuzenar took two steps forward, and under the pressure of the arcane, he held out his hand (by the way, he used all his mana to strengthen his body).
The impact of the arcane shield hampered Shuzenar's hand, but in the midst of the storm, Schüzenar stood still, its claws reaching out to the witch of the Fallen, and then, before the next layer of protection on her body could be activated, stopped in front of her.
"Nice to meet you, ma'am. I am Shuzenar, Lord of Nasrezm. ”
The witch's eyes showed no change in emotion, and she reached out with her oak-colored gloved hand and clasped it with Shuzenal's claws.
"Axis of Radiance, Chief Arcane Archmage, Sandra Shadow, we all have a lot of respect for potential collaborators, Lord Nasrezm I've seen a lot, but not many are willing to reach out and cooperate. ”
What could have been an offensive gesture ended up being a handshake between the two parties.
Sensing that his curse had failed to break through the opponent's glove, Shuzenar playfully withdrew his mana, erasing the tracking mark left by the opponent by the way. This sigil seems to be just a simple spell, just able to locate the world in which it is located. Nasrezm has a natural resistance to spells, and for lord-level Nasrezm Dreadlords, they can weaken the effects of most spells and resist almost all psychic spells.
"We can offer you two hundred archers and forty mages who have mastered beginner and intermediate arcane and evil spells. ”
The other party's information is well prepared.
Shuzenar had just received the allegiance of the Demon Guardians, and there was no shortage of melee cannon fodder in his hands, relatively speaking, there was a considerable lack of ranged troops, and there were few mage troops. These shooters and mages are exactly what Schüzenar needs.
"So, at what cost?"
"There is no cost, it is provided to you for free, even if it is lost, the pension is also ours. ”
"You'll always have what you're looking for, right?"
"If we can, we want to give priority to the acquisition of the slaves you conquered. ”
Slaves? If that's for that, it probably makes sense. Although Shuzenar only has one ship, and the results are still pitiful, but for slaves, the Fallen have always refused to come, and the more the better, if Shuzenar goes to a world with a large population, then the slaves of this world are still worth a small gift from them. Even if Shuzenar gets nothing, it will be worth it to be able to connect with a lord who still has potential.
"I still need some basic supplies and items to explore the new world, do you have them? ”
"Then I'll give you two more junior necromancers and twenty shadow agents. ”
"Good. ”
It seemed that there were still interests worth fighting for, but looking at the unclear meaning in Sandra's eyes, Schüzenar decided to save this opportunity for the next time.
"May the light in the light shine on our alliance, and the axis of brilliance looks forward to the next collaboration. ”
“...... Nasrezm has always obeyed the order of the Legion, and for the sake of the Legion's future, I am willing to fight alongside your warriors. ”
......
In the legion, it is always the strength that determines the level, the level determines the status, and there may be some gaps in the status of characters with similar levels, but strength ensures the basis for getting along with each other at the same level. In the eyes of the lords, only the legion lords of the same status are worthy of respect, and the leaders of the subordinate forces belong to the same level but have a lower status, and below, they are independent individuals with strong strength, but they are not recognized as lords.
As for the troops...... The troops whose strength does not meet the conditions are completely dependent on the strong, and they will not even have basic rights......
Just like that, they were sent out at will.
The Fallen were quick to fulfill their promises, and the troops she had promised soon came to Shuzenar's side.
"Honorable master, I am ......" One of the archery leaders fell to one knee with his troops, the elves were mostly dark-skinned, and their faces were subtly distorted by the absorption of evil powers, and these fallen elves were stinking compared to their distant relatives.
Shuzenar waved his hand and motioned to the captain of the fallen elven archer not to continue, "I don't need to know what your name is, you just need to obey my orders, if you are a warrior with the heart of a strong man, I will ask for your name sooner or later." ”
Schuzenar looked at the fallen elves and gave the order, "Ten for a small team, forty for a squadron, and two hundred for a wing, so be it first, without causing casualties, select your officers—as for you, mages, tell me what you will do, and I will give you a place in my ranks." ”
This number of troops is not enough even for a small world, but with the prospect uncertain, recruiting demons in large numbers can be a serious logistical burden, and in order to replenish the combat power, Shuzenar has set his sights on his own spells.
Summon Hellfire.
Shuzenar received fifty copies of the materials for summoning Heavy Hellfire, which is a rock-like object that stores the Hellfire's core, vital components, activation circles, and energy in a seal-like manner. Although some of the energy is stored in it, it still needs to consume a lot of mana when activated, and with Shuzenar's current mana stock, activating up to four will be at the bottom.
Four heavy hellfires should be enough to deal with the average enemy, and in the face of the sacrificial flames, the number of enemies will never be a problem.
What Shuzenar could receive was materials for heavy Hellfire, and materials for inferior Hellfire were not included in the ration for the lords, so out of curiosity, Shuzenar bought several materials for low-quality Hellfire, 50 pieces each, and one Void Crystal could be exchanged for two.
The materials of the inferior Hellfire are indeed much simpler than the heavy Hellfire, and the mana requirements are also very low, basically activating the mana of one heavy Hellfire is enough to activate five to ten inferior Hellfires. Schüzenar summoned one of the two types of hellfire as a comparison.
Before landing, the effect of the two flying in the air is similar, both are green meteors.
First of all, the impact force, the heavy Hellfire was enough to smash the steel plate ground into cracks, and the inferior Hellfire shattered its body in a few places, leaving only shallow craters on the ground.
Inferior Hellfires are about half to three-quarters the height of heavy Hellfires, and the flames also appear weak.
Shuzenar stretched out his claws and tested the structural strength of the two Hellfires.
It's all hard.
However, low-quality Hellfire will shatter when pierced by claws, appearing brittle. Heavy Hellfire, which feels like piercing metal, is less difficult to pull out. The flames of inferior Hellfire will scorch Shuzenar's mana shield film, but it will not be able to break through the defenses. Heavy Hellfire's flames can penetrate the mana shield film, dealing very little damage.
If you let Hellfire attack Shuzenar, a bad swing can knock Shuzenar back by half a step at a time, and the heavy one will ...... Well, looking at the height comparison, in order to save this face, forget it.
These two should be used together to match them in different situations.
"My lord, we have bought you a batch of orc and draenei slaves. A gloomy Fallen Elf spellcaster sent a message to Shuzenar, "The last member is in place, Lord Lord, please release a new mission." ”
