Chapter 81: Tactical Retreat

Jensen didn't forget Quest when he led the crowd to charge back, and after realizing that he had opened the way to retreat, he even looked back to check whether the little brother had followed.

After Jensen's "grenade" assist, Quest also "not to be outdone" took out his "high-tech" weapon, the "Wailer" double-barreled shotgun. Quest hadn't used this weapon much since he entered the lower planes. Although it is not enough to say that the treasures are covered with dust, but if we do not practice "pressing the gun", how can we improve our skills? People cannot always rely on external plug-ins to live, but also have real skills.

Anyway, with the density of demons in front of him, there is definitely no danger of missing the target, and this is a rare and wonderful time to take off his title of "Master of Human Strokes". The young blue dragon, who has always been full of action and unity of knowledge and action, stood with his feet slightly and posed in a posture commonly used in western cowboy gladiatorial fights, and without using the "three points and one line" to take careful aim with a gun in one hand, he smiled and pulled the trigger on the Tanari demons who seized the opportunity to rush towards him.

With a bang, a shot rang out, and shotguns, which had been properly loaded before the battle, fanned out from the muzzle, covering a large area of cowardice that had hit them head-on. The same silver-plated projectile tore through the bodies of these weak demons, and for a moment they wailed all over the ground, which also confirmed the name of Quis's weapon.

The double-barreled shotgun can fire twice in bursts, and the second wave of demons hit by the projectile is more miserable - a lurking Babu wanderer is spotted by Quest and shot in the chest. The kinetic energy of the silver-plated projectile was completely released in the flesh and blood of this demon, and as a huge hole appeared from its chest to its back, its body also bounced high and fell heavily.

"Give me a goal, and give you a silence. ”

Ignoring the fact that he was just a face-to-face output, the young blue dragon recited this long-liked line quite complacently. Of course, although this operation seems to be brutal and efficient, it does not deter the demons who are accustomed to blood and stumps. Tanari demons are rarely called warriors, but once in battle, they tend to ignore the fear of death due to their congested brains.

In the long lives of these creatures, there is no shortage of experiences that may have been fortunate enough to survive the ravages of the physical plane in response to the call. Although most of the endings are killed by heroes, it will not be long before the demon can be reborn in the abyss of a pool of blood.

This undoubtedly deepened the creature's contempt for death, even if they were now in the abyss, where the demon would really die, but these guys still attacked the blue dragon boy without fear of death.

In desperation, Quith had no choice but to follow the path opened up by Jensen before, and slowly retreated in the direction of the fortress in the footsteps of their group. He had figured out how to lure the Worm Tyrant and his avatar into appearing, but it was too risky to do so in the midst of the demon legions. Be careful, but you still need to use it in a safer fortress.

Over time, the Tanari demons had more physical strength than mortals, and the number of them was several times greater than that of the fortress defenders, making the battle situation gradually turn in favor of the demons. If you look down at the entire battlefield from the air at this time, you will find that the mercenary warriors and the demon army of the heterotopic plane are in a posture of interlaced teeth as a whole, but the "jagged" front at the point where the two are in contact is gradually advancing slowly towards Batow's fortress.

There were other heterotopic mercenaries who had rushed into the enemy line like Quis and Jensen, and they all gradually began to retreat in groups. Thankfully, the fortress's artillery positions were still roaring, and powerful hell roaring cannonballs were smashing waves of stumps and blood in the sea of Tanari demons.

His Excellency Hemtal, who has been thinking about our protagonist Quest, has not been spared, and the artillery that is carrying out the covering bombardment has repeatedly found the demon lord incarnation. Although even the "added" projectile can't help such a plane master, the deputy body of the dignified dragon, who can be the incarnation of the demon lord, has repeatedly proved that his face is black by being "slapped in the face" by cannonballs, which is also very embarrassing.

However, in order to realize his original intention of directing a "good show", this super boss still endured humiliation and slowly moved forward step by step - he wanted to "wear the flashiest shirt and pretend to be very emotional" and personally walked to Batow's fortress and boarded his own "four-sided stage". However, any demon who sees it is miserable, either directly hit by a "retarded mind" or directly taken away by a gesture that triggers a parasitic acid mist worm riot in the body. Along the way, there were many Tanali victims and newborns of the Plague Bugs. It can really be said: "One will succeed in ten thousand bones, and it will take a lot of effort to make a good movie." ”

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after walking through the artificial isolation zone created by the hell's roaring artillery, the great director Hemtar walked in front of the vanguard of the demon army. Less than a stone's throw from the fortress of Bato, the mercenaries of the Alien Plane relied on the fortress's defenses to resist the forces of the Tanari demons.

Although Dalton only went to hell, he began to experience a serious military duel. But when he was in Soft Maple City, the "broom eyebrow" boss experienced a lot of gang scuffles. He is an old man, even when he is fighting against the Tanari demons, he does not forget to observe the two sides of the war, which is a kind of wisdom from the streets: when the two sides are fighting, there must be a turning point, when one side must rise and the other will fall. He'd seen it countless times, the gang minions fought to the death, but in the blink of an eye, for some reason, they suddenly turned around and fled—as if someone had a timer device in their heads.

Although the heterotopic mercenaries in Bato's fortress have also experienced life-and-death battles in the previous times, this time the situation is completely different from the past. So far this time, there have been no desperate monsters like the Barlow Flame Demon, the Apostle of Calamity, and the Wolf Snake Demon.

But it is precisely this difference that makes Dalton always have a bad premonition. He believed in his eyes, he had already observed the pattern of the demon army's attack when the demons attacked the city before—it had to be driven by a strong high-level demon in order to force the chaotic Tanari to carry out a slightly organized operation, otherwise it would be difficult for those guys to even walk in a straight line.

This time the demon was far larger than before, and this was the first time that it had approached the outer walls of the fortress. At the present level, Dalton estimated that the outermost defensive position would not be able to withstand the seemingly tireless and numerous enemy for much longer.

So the question comes back to where is the commander behind the continuous attack of such a demon who is not afraid of death?

The answer to his question was an invisible force field giant - Bigby Grabbing Palm. As a well-hidden Shadow Thief Master, Dalton's perception is quite sensitive, and just the slightest distortion of the surrounding light allowed him to spot this deadly giant hand.

Squatting and rolling, the broombrow boss dodged the grabs of the force field giant with a standard thief dodge move. It was only when he dodged and stood behind one of his colleagues with an agile speed that did not match his body shape before he had time to look at the high-level spellcaster who attacked him.

That's right, Dalton didn't associate Hermtar's image with the demon at first glance, and the dragon's body was inconspicuous among the Tanari demons, only slightly taller than the average human. And the Mithril filigree robe he wears is in line with the fashion style that is liked by human mages - that is, it reveals a trace of mystery and at the same time, it also tells the world that "Lao Tzu is rich".

But there is no doubt that this guy standing with the Tanari Demon is very powerful, and the demons around him have a feeling of moving around, lest they be able to avoid it, coupled with the strange-looking calamity insects that follow behind him, I have to say that the aura is amazing.

"I actually dodged it. Hermtar seemed surprised that such a mortal could dodge the spell he had cast, and he couldn't help but think.

The somewhat unhappy Demon Lord incarnate, stretched out his right hand and held it tightly. With his movements, the force field giant hand that had not yet dissipated slowly turned into a clenched fist - the Bigby King Kong Fist. Aimed at the fish that had slipped through the net and hid in the formation of the defenders of the fortress, the fist of this stance flew over. Dalton hurriedly dodged continuously, but the force field fist formed by this spell energy seemed to be equipped with precise guidance, and after hitting several people and becoming the end of the crossbow, it was still fiercely imprinted on the body of the Shadow Thief Master.

"It's really stubborn. ”

I don't know if it's a spell like chasing souls and killing people, or a broom eyebrow boss who can still survive and run for his life after a force field fist that is no less than a battering ram attack (although it is the end of a strong crossbow) in the evaluation. But one thing is clear, that is, the "face-saving" demon lord incarnation has no intention of letting go of his goals - first, because of his stubborn character, and second, he doesn't want that Dalton guy to use the experience of escaping from his own hands to go around the world and corrupt himself.

On the other hand, the target who was hunted down at this time, although this shadow thief master did hit a Bigby King Kong punch, but with the dodge ability brought by his own profession, he was actually not seriously injured. With the reaction force of the Vajra Fist, this guy even widened the distance between himself and the dangerous dragon sidebody. Of course, the demon lord incarnate was unrelenting, not only did he personally pursue him, but also ordered his dependents to join the chase and interception. Driven by the dragon's sidebody, the newly-born Calamity Bugs rushed out of the border of the battle line that had gradually straightened.

The turning point that Dalton had been waiting for for a long time finally came, and he got his wish to reach a safer place before the weaker side retreated. It's just that he definitely didn't expect that the "minion who suddenly turned around and fled" was actually himself.

Of course, the "U-turn and escape" of the broom boss is definitely different from the street gangsters, and the average street gangster will not be chased by multiple high-level Tanari demons when fleeing for their lives. Faced with the calamity bugs in hot pursuit, Dalton wisely chose to retreat with the other defenders, rather than just hugging his own head.

A bow and arrow fired from the side and back sinked directly into the body of a group of illagers - Dalton's archer brothers tried to snipe these high-level acid mist worm demons, but to little avail. No matter how well-made the purple shirt wooden bow he wields, it can't shoot an RPG with a bow as described in some novels.

But what he doesn't do doesn't mean others can't do it. A broad-bladed short sword slashed through the bottom left to the top right in an oblique stab, slicing its target in two like a hot knife slicing through butter, and the burning white flames on its wound negated the demon's natural ability to regenerate, ending the life of the Calambulation Bug closest to Dalton in one blow.

As a former paladin in the extreme opposing camp, when he held a weapon that not only quenched silver but also smeared with "Hongde Holy Oil", he used the Evil Destroying Slash to deal with a Tanari demon, he was so indiscriminate.
