Chapter 277: Cheat, Sneak Attack! (6500)
Golden Plains, Knights of Kama.
There are a lot of monsters on the Golden Plains, and there are a large number of monster nests that only settle in the local cave ecosystem, because the terrain is complex and large-scale development is difficult, so most of the resources are mined by small unit towns such as the Knight's Manor.
One of the oldest knightly estates in the Golden Plains, the Knight of Kama is one of the richest knightly lords in the region after it was once honored by the mining of two mythril mines in the surrounding caverns.
The Knight of Kama himself is quite powerful, his personal armament is not inferior to that of the official imperial nobles, and he is a veteran of the battle against demonic beasts in the Golden Plains, and his castle is a small fortress, a 'safe' signpost for passers-by.
But now, the fortress has an enemy it will never be able to defend against.
The demonic armies of the Flamelands.
"Defend the walls! With artillery! ”
"Artillery doesn't work!"
"Help! These monsters teleport! They appeared behind us?! ”
"The distance of teleportation is no more than five hundred meters, and the reserve is on top! Guards, kill the enemy with me! ”
Fierce shouts of slaughter resounded around the perimeter of this small fortress, and if it was faced with the usual monster attacks or robber raids, they would definitely be able to resist the counterattack with ease.
But in the face of demonic armies that could easily bypass defensive lines, ignore ordinary artillery attacks, be extremely fast, and even be able to cross the walls through the Shimmer, this elite town guard was almost wiped out like a low tide.
Their firepower is not insignificant: in addition to their own alchemy artillery, the Kama Collar is also a new type of armament supported by the Silver Peak Collar, and the hot melt rays and magnetic storm mines are triggered one after another, shining around the city walls.
However, the armament with the support of the Yinfeng Collar network, and the armament that refused the assistance of the Yinfeng Collar are completely two levels of weapons.
Although beams of light flew across the sky and electromagnetic sparks exploded in mid-air, there were very few demons that were actually damaged - the demons' speed was so fast that their eyes couldn't keep up, let alone aim and shoot?
Instead, it was the guards of the Kama Leader, who either suddenly went insane, broke away from the formation, and rushed into the demon cluster alone to be crushed—literally crushed—or easily wiped out by the firepower of the Flying Flame Lands.
They have been disturbed by the demonic psychic power and have gone completely insane.
In a short time, the entire fortress was captured, and the towns around the fortress were slaughtered, and some of the locals who wanted to stay behind were killed or wounded.
Most of them suffered great pain before they died, some of them were twisted off their arms and legs alive, and they died of blood loss like wrung out rags, and some saw their relatives die tragically, and they were finally beheaded with blood and tears.
It was only then that they realized that the Demon Legion was far more powerful than they had imagined, and the reason why this 'defensive battle' was staged instead of completely destroying them in an instant was simply because the demons needed their despair, and they needed the feeling of falling into the abyss with hope in their hearts.
The Kama knight is still alive...... He held the last remnants of the fortress at the bottom of the fortress.
This is the original warehouse, and after the transformation, it has become the last bastion of the stubborn resistance, the strong iron door of the warehouse can even block the artillery, and the psionic circle that protects the mythril can also block the demon's limp jump.
It's just that being trapped here is no different from waiting for death.
Several of the Knight Karma who followed him were now desperate, the soldiers on the verge of collapse could faintly hear the screams coming from the surroundings, they were almost in chaos, if it weren't for the Knight Kama who was still fighting to maintain order, I am afraid that they would not need the demon to attack, and they would have completely destroyed themselves.
"I knew earlier, I would have agreed to Yinfeng Ling's request if I said anything......"
To be honest, Knight Kama really regretted it, he actually had the opportunity to follow the advice of the Silver Peak Leader and evacuate the Golden Plains, but he believed too much in the solidity of his fortress, and felt that the purpose of the demons must be the Silver Peak Territory, and what had to do with a small manor in a remote area like theirs, so he refused to leave.
But who knows, the demons are killing all the way, even if it is a passing plain wolf, they have to go over and kick it to death, this group of monsters does not talk about remoteness at all, what they want is a river of blood, and those who can breathe when they see it must all be killed.
All flesh and soul and curse grudges will become fertilizer for the cursed soil.
On that basis alone, they are extremely fair.
"Hah, is this a dying memory?"
Thinking about something that he didn't have, Knight Kama smiled, he knew that he would definitely die this time, and the demon army outside had already begun to destroy the iron gate.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The demon began to attack, the iron gate was already raised, and a bull demon was slamming against the gate.
Knight Kama raised the sword in his hand, even if he was going to die, he hoped that he would die holding the sword, and he would never despair and become nourishment for the demons.
As for the people who died because of their choice......
"I was wrong. Sorry ......"
At the moment when the iron door was smashed, the knight roared and drew his sword forward: "Die, demon! ”
He was greeted by countless claws and eyes that poked out of the darkness.
Just when the battle that was already doomed began and ended.
The Fusion Demon Officers and Demons who were collecting curses around the Manor Fortress heard an extremely terrifying explosion in the distance, as well as a sharp roar in the sky as if it had been torn apart.
Immediately afterward, the demon army that had just captured a fortress paused for a moment.
Because from their soul will came the furious roar of their own general: "Damn Silver Peak Leader! ”
And the damned Silver Peak Leader in his mouth was fleeing quickly.
After a week of harassment, the Demon Legion finally chose to sweep the Golden Plains with a large force, killing all the Imperial people left behind in the Golden Plains and recovering the curse as much as possible.
They fought steadily and steadily, leaving no chance for Nanling to sneak attack.
However, since the sneak attack fails, attack it!
Taking advantage of the Demon Legion's extermination of a small and remote territory like the Kama Knight Domain, Yin En mobilized an extremely elite armored force to attack the rear of the Demon Legion!
Led by Qingchao, the armor information of the last few days was collected, and the twelve elite armors that Yin En personally transformed were sheltered by the Heart of Terra and escaped the perception of most demons.
And all they had to do was to throw the cloud burst bombs that Yin Eun had rubbed in his hands, as well as the thermite bombs and white phosphorus bombs produced by the Nauman City military factory, into the demon camp.
No matter how hard the demons themselves are, their camp will definitely be razed to the ground.
This move is undoubtedly to use those imperial knights who remained in the Golden Plains as bait, and they have absolutely no reinforcements, and they will definitely die.
But Yin Eun had already reminded them that good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, and if they want to die, Yin Eun will make their death worthwhile.
And that's exactly what happened.
Under the cover of the Heart of Terra, they made their way from the most unsurvable thick of the Golden Plains until the last few kilometers before bursting in full force, with twelve explosive-laden armors charging straight towards the Cursed Earth Altar behind the Demon - and then the throw!
No, not throwing.
Whoosh, one rocket after another ignites!
As a rocket engineer back then, Yin Eun couldn't make space rockets with his bare hands, but he had no problem building some long-range rockets without guidance.
The twelve armories involved in the raid carried thirty-six honeycomb-like rocket launchers on each shoulder, and all of these rockets were launched in just two seconds, pouring in supersaturation.
For a moment, it was like a rain of fire.
The Altar of Enchanted Earth, which was slowly moving, correcting the surrounding psionic field and resisting the interference of Terra's Heart, was bombarded with more than seventy rockets in just one second.
Then, there was the explosion that shook the heavens and the earth, and the rain of white phosphorus that spread like fireworks.
For a while, there was chaos in the demon camp, even if the demons were not afraid of the flames, but some of these ammunition actually contained psionic interference potions, which immediately made many of the demons who wanted to pursue the attackers unstable and unable to attack with all their strength.
[Hurry up, hurry up, return home at full speed!] 】
At this moment, Qingchao, as the captain of the aircraft, commanded all the pilots who ran away after dropping the bombs to retreat at full speed, and all the armor returned at full speed in a U-shaped route.
He knew very well that after making this vote, what would be ushered in was definitely the furious counterattack of the demon legion - even if those inferior demons were temporarily unable to pursue due to unsuspecting contact with the jamming potion, those powerful demons who were not affected would definitely chase them out!
He guessed absolutely right.
[Die! 】
Just as Qingchao and the others dropped the bomb and quickly escaped, Qingchao and all the other drivers heard a loud thunder with fierce anger - and with this loud noise, all the clouds in the entire sky were scattered and turned into mist.
Then, these ultra-high hot water vapors, which had been vaporized by extreme shocks, fell from the sky like cannonballs and bombarded Qingchao and the others!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qingchao immediately connected to the armored alchemy furnace, and urged the ability of the second energy level of the tide messenger with all his strength to offset those falling water vapor bombs.
A layer of turquoise water waves floated on all armor surfaces, and these soft water wave shields could push those water vapor bombs away, but also absorb the impact, and if they were on the battlefield, these water wave shields could even help a company survive the artillery bombardment.
But even so, the terrifying shock wave still blew these armor five or six meters high up and down, if it weren't for the fact that these pilots were all elites carefully selected by the Marquis of Batun from the nineteenth legion of the South Ridge, I am afraid that they would be directly shocked and lose their combat ability.
The water shield quickly evaporated and disintegrated under the shock wave, but it was enough time for the armor to escape the cover of the clouds.
The spiritual energy of the demon general's 'Death Knell' is 'sonic shock', before he ascended to the Great Demon, his spiritual energy was nothing more than a close range of destruction, but after becoming a demon, his spiritual energy became more freewheeling, he could use his sound to shake any object, and regarded any object as a carrier to carry terrifying destructive power.
But without a carrier, the speed of sound wave energy decay is very fast, and without clouds, it is difficult for him to use psionic energy to destroy the armored team that has fled far away.
But, he still has a special weapon!
How can I let you escape! 】
An angry voice came from high in the sky and echoed across the plains: [Only these stealing tactics? 】
High in the air, Death Knell has already taken action in person.
A metal box around his waist rose large particles of liquid metal, and these silver metal particles had now been blessed by the terrifying vibration of Deathbell's psionic energy, turning into golden-red metallic gas, like a corona.
The demon general raised his hand and raised two fingers, pointing directly at the armored team in the distance.
The golden-red light shot straight out with a piercing roar, like a flame piercing the sky.
At this moment, Qingchao's crisis instinct was crazy to warn, and in the end, he could only shout: "Disperse!" ”
The armored team scattered in the first place, but how could the angry blow of the death knell be withstood by someone who didn't even have the third energy level?
The shattering flames pierced through an armor in an instant, and the tremor ripples visible to the naked eye caused the entire metal giant to disintegrate in the next second, melting into a cloud of golden molten iron, and a huge explosion was created later, and the wind swept through, revealing a destruction zone almost the size of a stadium.
No one can survive this blow.
But no one was afraid.
Even, some fanatical drivers began to chant in a low voice, reciting the 'prophecy' that had been widely circulated in Nanling in recent times.
"The Prophet prophesied—the darkness of the calamity will be terrible, and the cursed spirits will come like a tidal wave, carrying pain, despair and sorrow."
"But the Mother fears, for the wrath of the heavens, the thunder and the fire that rises above, will strike them with hail and iron—and in the name of the holy battle, we will be victorious!"
"All those who die in the Holy World will have eternal rest in Hades!"
In the hymn of this prophecy, before the soul of the dead pilot could perceive it, a silver light enveloped it—faster than the demon, and the pull of the soul brought him back to his resting place quickly.
And that means one thing.
Yoon Eun also came.
The death knell is naturally unaware of the almost fanatical eulogy of the distant armor channel, and the fact that the driver's soul is recovered.
If he had known, he would have sensed that something was wrong—this time, the enemies and people he had to face were not at all afraid of their embodiment of fear, nor of their demons.
Because, the horrific religious fanaticism and cult of personality, as well as the sense of glory brought by jihad, have overwhelmed all the avant-garde forces of Southridge.
It is no longer possible for them to rely on slaughter and destruction to create despair in the Southridge.
But that didn't stop him from delivering a second blow—and this one, he'd calibrated enough to wipe out those annoying mosquito-like armored troops in an instant!
Rumble!
A scarlet flaming sword was forged by Knell, and then sped in the direction of Qingchao and the others.
The blow slashed through the atmosphere, and the atmosphere exploded and converflagrated, disintegrating the rocks and burning the vegetation wherever it passed, and the incredible sonic cluster exerted enough power to cut a hill open.
And the five armors with Qingchao as the core can't dodge, their speed is not comparable to the speed of the Deathstroke Psionic Creation, and they will be caught up in an instant.
However, an invisible ice flower bloomed out of thin air, and layers of ice and crystals like snowflakes condensed in midair, quickly turning into a huge shield.
It was not so much a shield as a giant frost shield of a wall blocking the back of the fleeing armored troops, firmly blocking the death sentence of Knell.
Crash! In the next moment, the frost shield completely crumbled, and the golden-red flames pierced through it—but the power and accuracy of the flaming sword were greatly reduced, and it fell crookedly on the small hill beside it.
With a roar of thunder, the earth at the top of the hill swelled like a tidal wave, and in a short time it collapsed entirely, turning into a crater.
If this blow were to hit, the result of the armored troops would probably be similar to that of ants that had been run over by humans with their shoes.
This is the strength of the death knell.
Although he doesn't have any bloodline true form, just by relying on spiritual energy and demonic power, he can exert the power of the fourth energy level!
And now, the Great Demon looked solemnly in the direction where the Ice Crystal Shield had condensed before: [Earl of Silver Peak? 】
Just now, he could have continued to manipulate his psionic energy to pursue the armored team, but he sensed that his psionic energy was cut off by another force, so he shifted to the side.
No one replied, but Deathstroke suddenly turned around, looked behind him, and shouted: [Sneak attack?!] 】
With a loud shout, the huge power erupted like a torrent, and at this moment, the demon general used his true strength, and a malicious shock wave that erupted from the void seemed to be pressed like enveloping heaven and earth.
All of a sudden, everything faded.
The dark clouds of resentment churned endlessly, even affecting the real world for a while, and the terrifying sense of decay and scorching spread in all directions, and the materialized shock wave blew all the surrounding trees away, and even the rock shells were directly shattered and turned into powder.
A small-scale subspace labyrinth centered on the death knell covered the real world in an instant, filled with thunder, shockwaves, and extreme heat, and a small fairy figure had to escape from the void.
Naturally, it was Yin Eun in the form of a goblin.
"Interestingly, the demon itself is a spiritual energy aggregate similar to the heart light body, so when you reach the third and fourth energy levels, you don't have such a thing as an etheric true body, but use your own virtual realm entity to influence the material world, forming a subspace labyrinth that is controlled by you like a realm and an inherent enchantment."
The Ice Elf using the wings of the Cross Star skillfully dodged all the shockwaves and Deathknell's furious attacks, and as soon as he rolled over, he was already flashing kilometers away.
But Yin En's voice can still echo in the ears of the death knell: "I originally thought that I could solve you, a general, by this series of sneak attacks, and then destroy the demon army in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect you to be so keen, it seems that you really want to see you on the battlefield." ”
【You】
At this moment, Death Knell was extremely shocked in his heart, he just noticed that there was a trace of dissonance behind him, this dissonance was extremely small, and it could be completely ignored in theory, and he subconsciously launched a counterattack because of excessive nervousness.
If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to shake out the hidden Yin En, and Yin En was attacked by Yin En in the body of a goblin, if he didn't use the 'hole cards', not to mention dying on the spot, he would not be able to recover for at least ten days and half a month.
At that time, without him as a strong man, the demon army may really have to leave Nanling without fighting a single battle and leaving Nanling in ashes!
But if they use their hole cards, they may not be able to accomplish their strategic goals...... The result was just as bad.
[Want to run? How can it be that simple! 】
So at this moment, Knell struck again, and in the thunder hell around him, one after another golden red thunderbolts shot out, hitting the direction where Yin Eun was before—but the goblin also disappeared at this moment.
Goblins, like demons, have the ability to enter and exit the Void at will, and Yin Eun can suppress the speed at which the demons can enter and exit the Void with the Silver Sun, but he is not hindered by the cursed soil.
As soon as the blow missed, there was another great light in the golden plain, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose in the roar.
But when the smoke cleared, the place was empty, and only a charred black earth remained.
Yin Eun has left, and the armored team has already gone away.
Under the light, Knell's expression was cloudy, and he took several deep breaths before he suppressed the tyranny and madness brought by his demonic power and calmed down.
【…… The intelligence aspect has been completely suppressed] He whispered to himself, with caution in his tone: [It seems that the original strategy is completely useless, this place in Nanling ...... It's completely different from the Westside]
[What technology has this Earl of Yinfeng mastered? 】
At this moment, the armored troops have been completely withdrawn, and Yin Eun has also got the information he wants to leave.
All that was left was the demon army that had been forcibly attacked on the lair.
[General, although the altar has been destroyed, we have exterminated all the knight lords in the Golden Plains, and with their flesh and blood resentment, we can completely rebuild the altar]
After reporting the loss, the Fusion Demon Officer reported to Deathstroke: "Nanling seems to have been delaying our moves, and our enemy reinforcements may arrive soon!] 】
[Not procrastination]
At this moment, the calm Knell looked to the south, and his eyes were as deep as lava: [They are forcing us to fight a decisive battle]
[Whether it is those self-detonation armors that don't seem to be exhausted, or today's elite armored squads, it means that the Imperial Army of Southridge has completely crushed us in terms of intelligence - all our spies and spies were captured and executed by the network of the Earl of Silverpeak some time ago]
[Up to now, only Rongying, who is located inside the Yinfeng Collar and has obtained a legal identity early, still barely exists, and can provide us with some key news]
[And for some reason, they seem to be clear about our actions...... Those drones, as well as unmanned observation cameras that may exist in the surrounding area, can circumvent our 'life perception' and obtain our intelligence]
Before becoming a fusion demon, Knell was also the elite commander of the Flying Flame Land, and in the continuous attacks, he also saw through Yin Eun's true purpose: [The more we delay, the deeper we go into the quagmire, because the enemy's intelligence on us will only increase]
[But we don't need to care what the enemy thinks, our strength is superior to the other party, and we can directly attack and crush them]
[But, but] Hearing this, the fusion demon officer Hu Tu said: [General, if they want to force us to fight a decisive battle, we will fight a decisive battle, isn't this what they want? 】
Deathstroke did not speak, but just stared coldly at the subordinate, and the officer, knowing that he had lost his words, immediately shut up.
When the demon officer finished reporting his work and hurriedly left, Knell squinted his eyes and looked south: [Nanling is testing our intelligence, why am I not testing Nanling's intelligence......]
[It seems that the entire power of the South Ridge has been integrated by that Silver Peak Lord, and even the Nineteenth Legion is already in his hands, armed with new weapons...... But it takes time for the whole army to change its uniform, so he is delaying and waiting for the transformation of the whole army to be completed. Of course, reinforcements are also possible, but other demon legions are still wreaking havoc in the western realm, and even if there are reinforcements in the South Ridge, there are not many, so there is no need to worry]
[However, if I rashly launch a decisive battle, I will also fall into their trap...... That Giant of Light is a representative, if you are not fully prepared and attack at will, you will only be hit hard by the opponent's hole cards]
The demon general said to himself in his heart, he had already made up his mind: [So...... I've got to reveal a hole card, too]
He vanished. Death Knell has entered the void.
Void, Deathstroke looked at the northwest of the Void, the Void space that had turned into pitch black and completely eroded by the cursed soil.
Sensing the huge power contained in that space-time, the demon general smiled: [The demon army is just a pre-test product of the Immortal Legion]
[The true power of the 'Abyss Country' is beyond their imagination! 】
