1390. On the battlefield

Outwardly, the Hell Demons are similar in structure to humans, with a skull, torso, and limbs, with clear facial features on the skull, hands and feet, and the ability to walk upright.

If you have to talk about the difference between the two in terms of appearance.

That is, the demon is taller, the martial arts are powerful, the average height of the demon warrior is about three meters, and each demon warrior does not have a little fat on his body, almost all of them are pure muscles. Man.

And human warriors are basically only two meters tall, and even if they receive the most rigorous training, it is impossible for their bodies to be free of fat.

Of course, this is only recognizable by appearance.

But those who are familiar with evil spirits know that there is the most essential difference between evil spirits and human beings.

The biggest difference between the two is that the human body is supported by a skeleton, muscle groups and tendons are wrapped around the skeleton, and then there is a layer of fat on the outside, and the outermost layer is soft skin.

However, the body structure of the demons is just the opposite of that of humans.

The surface of the demon's body is a layer of hard bone armor, and if you peel it off with a sharp dagger along the gap in the bone armor, you can see that there is a layer of tough black devil skin inside, and the innermost part is a group of muscles.

Usually the military merchants were very fond of buying the dark skin from the demon, and Surdak was good at peeling it from the barracks.

The Demon Warrior's body is not supported by a skeleton, and the structure inside the body is almost entirely composed of muscle groups with different functions.

This means that if the Demon Warriors don't have this exoskeleton on their bodies, they will all turn into mollusks.

Although they have a human-like appearance, their bodies are similar to those of insects, with muscles in their exoskeletons.

……

Now the top of Lone Peak has turned into a scorched earth, and the smell of roasted meat is everywhere.

The fires in some of the surrounding areas have not been completely extinguished, and from time to time there will be waves of heat rushing in, roasting the people dry.

The red dragon Isser used the dragon's breath to clear a clearing at the top of the peak, and not far away some shielded mages had already landed on magic handles and began to set up a wall of fire on the scorched earth not far away.

Aphrodite stood in front of the demon general, looked down at the demon general in the pool of blood, pursed her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why is every battle this kind of unplanned melee? ”

"Well, this incident caught me off guard, but who would have thought that there was such a demon hunting group hidden in this mountain!"

Surdak's face was a little pale, and when he first fought, his right arm was almost broken, and the biggest loss was that the demonic shield on his right arm was broken.

"You are the commander, of course you will prevent these problems in advance!" As she spoke, Aphrodite stepped on the demon general's massive head, then pursed her lips again, her gaze falling on the hideous face.

Her hair was still wet and looked like she had just taken a shower.

The Demon General's head was a bit bigger, and his face was almost the size of half a dining table for four.

It's just that it doesn't have any breath now, and its body is still constantly overflowing with a trace of chaotic aura.

"Aside from the demon core that has the potential to peel off a high-grade black magic crystal, the most valuable thing about this demon is its face." Aphrodite bent over, examining the hideous face of the demon general, who she looked at very carefully, as if she didn't want to miss any details.

"Faces are valuable?" Surdak was puzzled.

"You peel this place first, and the whole sheet must be peeled off intact!" She asked Surdak to peel off the entire face while the blood on the demon general's body was still completely cold.

Surdak didn't quite understand why Aphrodite said that, but he still didn't understand why Aphrodite said that. A skinning knife came out of his leg and crouched beside Aphrodite to strip away the demon general's face.

In fact, he was even more concerned about the safety of Gulitham and Wolf Knight Tiger in his heart.

Aphrodi stood aside and said casually: "Your shield is damaged, and it is not easy to find another shield to take advantage of, so it is better to use its face......"

"The Demon Shield is very popular in the Hell Realm, it is easy to make, and it is also very durable...... Oh, this layer of dark magic skin must be preserved......"

Aphrodite explained as she told Surdak how to peel the skin.

……

By the time Gulit and Wolf Knight Tiger struggled to climb out of the cracks in the rocks, the top of the mountain was completely scorched.

In order to be able to defend the top of the mountain, the thirty magicians set up eleven fire walls on the hillside, completely blocking the attack of the demon warriors halfway up the mountain.

At this moment, the supreme leader of the demon hunting group, the demon general, was killed, and the hunting group instantly became leaderless, and even the demon warriors who attacked towards the top of the mountain stopped.

At the beginning of the chaos, most of the demon warriors, under the leadership of the various demon banner commanders, still gathered halfway up the lonely peak, wanting to continue to capture the top of the mountain.

But now there are walls of fire on the mountainside, and the demon warriors can't rush up, and many evil ghosts are frightened by the evil dragon, and many evil ghosts plan to retreat into the jungle at the foot of the mountain, but the demon flag commander hopes to rush to the peak, and it is best to save the general......

The two disagreements made it impossible for the demon warriors to advance or retreat.

Surdak peeled off the demon general's face as quickly as he could, and then he didn't pay attention to the group of demons halfway up the mountain.

Instead, he first treated the most seriously injured wolf knights, Tiger and Gulitham, whose armor had been almost cut by the demon warriors, and their bodies were covered with countless wounds.

Surdak stood next to the altar of sacrifice and casually picked up a few demon heads from the ground and sacrificed them in exchange for the 'Divine Blessed Body' to stabilize the injuries of the two.

Then there was the treatment of the wounds of the two, which was the most tedious thing for Surdak, and it was usually Nika and her medical team who handled these things.

But now that Nika's medical team is following the other half of the legion, Surdak has to clean up the wounds himself.

The surviving hoplite fighters also crawled out of the cracks in the rocks, their injuries minor.

After crawling out of the cracks in the rock, they began to search the scorched earth for the charred corpses of the demon warriors, which had become worthless, but still contained a precious black crystal in their skull.

There is one in the skull of every demon, and the value of this unidentified black crystal itself is almost twice that of ordinary magic crystals, and in some special planes, the price of such unidentified black crystals may be higher.

……

In the evening, an army of 50,000 soldiers and ants finally arrived near Lone Peak under the guidance of the mage scouts, and nearly a thousand demon warriors were trapped on Lone Peak.

Andrew, who led the army to come, did not arrange for a large army to be stationed in the camp to rest at all, but immediately organized a mixed battle team of ghost soldiers and heavy infantry soldiers, and personally led the team to form an encirclement from the foot of the lonely peak, and launched the most brutal encirclement and suppression of this group of ghosts on the peak.
