186. Hunt the Blazing General!
A few days later.
Today is the 51st day after the launch of "Dawn".
Bronze fortress complex.
The streets are paved with hot bronze and obsidian, flanked by magnificent bronze watchtowers and fortresses, and occasionally armoured devil soldiers march by. There is no sun or moon in the wilderness of war, and the eternal bright red twilight envelops the city.
The top of a bronze tower.
A devil soldier dressed in full black plate armor and carrying a giant sword on his back was standing guard in a bored manner, standing next to a fixed brass ballista.
He watched warily at the situation below.
On the road below, a colleague would occasionally pass by and say hello to him.
Today is another calm day, the mysterious angel has not appeared for several days, the offensive momentum of the demon army has eased recently, everything is so calm, and there is no smell of gunpowder on the road. The devil soldier stretched.
Strike.
He suddenly felt that someone had tapped him on the shoulder.
The devil soldier's heart suddenly lifted, and he turned vigilantly to call his companions!
But immediately, he gasped again, and his nervousness calmed down.
Standing in front of him was his commander, a human-shaped devil captain.
The chief's strong and thick hand rested on his shoulder, and he rubbed the giant sword behind his back slightly: "It's been a great job." ”
The devil soldier hurriedly nodded to his commander and made a standard salute gesture:
"Bronze fortress, never fall!"
But it's a little strange, why did the chief come here today, raid the post, and inspect the work? Doubts rose in the devil soldier's heart, but he didn't dare to ask more.
In hell there is a lot of order, and any offense by any subordinate to the boss is not allowed!
Without too much greeting, a smile bloomed on the rough face of the devil captain, and he bowed his head very satisfied, and then suddenly solemnized, and responded in the same sonorous and powerful voice:
"Bronze fortress, never fall!"
The lieutenant turned and walked away, walking down the bronze staircase, leaving only the sound of his feet stepping on the metal staircase in the air.
It seems that the chief really just came to raid the work and scare me. The stone hanging from the devil soldier's heart was put down, and he didn't feel anything wrong in the slightest.
······
The Devil Captain walked down the stairs and walked in the silent stairwell, a smile on his lips.
"All the best, I've managed to touch his greatsword."
He was none other than the incarnation of Sifer, who had changed his appearance.
As the lord of the first layer of hell, it didn't take much effort for him to find out the order of the succession of many devil soldiers in the Bronze Fortress complex, as well as the patrol routes, using completely formal means.
The enemy is in the lord's castle, who can stop this?
Through the ability of the Seraph's [Alter Appearance], he succeeded in disguised himself as a humanoid demon. This ability does not modify the size of the body too much, so it cannot transform into a non-humanoid creature. But Siphael has been dealing with the devil for a century, and is especially familiar with the physiological characteristics of various devils, and it is not difficult to become a familiar humanoid devil by finely adjusting his facial features.
"If the other angels knew about it, I used this angelic ability to mingle among humans to disguise myself as a devil, and I don't know what they would think of me." Siphiel walked down the stairwell and muttered to himself silently.
Transfiguration and illusion can be seen through by [True Vision], and many high-level devils and almost all quasi-legendary devils have this magic constantly, and can automatically see through illusion, illusion and invisibility within a certain distance, so it is difficult for ordinary illusion to play a role in high-level games.
Fortunately, since opening the higher level of Hell Lord authority, Sifer, who is hidden by the will of the plane, can automatically block the prophecy spells against himself, even if it is not directly aimed at his true vision, it can also have a certain amount of interference. Ordinary ninth-order devils can only see through Siffer's transformation disguise if they inspect it closely.
Is this the authority of the lords of hell? I really don't know, if I continue to be recognized by the Bronze Book, what other functions can I turn on? Siefel couldn't help but think.
Even if someone really saw through Siefer's disguise, it would be useless, he could reveal his true identity.
The Devil's Grand Duke, sympathetic to the people's feelings, worried about his subordinates, and a private visit to the microservice! Do you have any comments?
Retracting his divergent thoughts, Siefel glanced at his head in the stairwell and his gaze fell on the rusty clock on the wall.
There are still 6 hours left before the Blazing General goes on a mission, passing through here!
······
On the rooftop, the devil soldiers continued to stand guard, standing guard in front of the brass ballista, observing the movement below, because they had just arrived and stood upright.
This devil soldier, who had just been promoted to the third rank, didn't realize at all that the moment his wrist touched the giant sword behind him when the commander patted him on the shoulder just now, an invisible magic force had been injected into the giant sword behind his back, silently activating the giant sword and transforming it into a [Dancing Sky Sword].
As long as Sifer sees this sword, he can use his consciousness to command the giant sword to volley in the air and act on his own!
Activate for an infinite duration, or until Sifer activates the ability again to activate another sword.
······
Hours went by in a flash.
In this hell where there is no sun and moon, the passage of time is difficult to distinguish, and even the blood-colored light that permeates the sky only flickers in and out of the sky irregularly.
According to the original plan, the Blazing General marched with a group of soldiers on the bronze and obsidian road.
The huge alchemist had a gloomy face and walked at the head of the group, his shoulders, bat wings, the top of his head, and the tip of his tail each with a flame blazing. Behind him was a large group of devil soldiers in black armor and armed with spears and battle axes, with neat steps and sonorous steps.
"Pierla is just overly worried, just a normal outdoor action, and keeps me on the lookout for mysterious angels. I've been stuffed in the bronze palace, and my joints are going to rust. ”
The Blazing General muttered as he walked.
This operation, just in case, he also had an amber on his body. This magical artifact, called the Amber Sarcophagus, automatically wraps the target in amber when it hits, and is a powerful weapon against a mysterious angel with resurrection powers.
Among the devil soldiers he accompanied him, some of them also carried magic crystals for communication, and as long as any accident occurred, they could immediately send signals to several other ninth-order devils and Lord Bell, and in just a few seconds, there would be support coming.
···
General Blazing led this large group of devil soldiers through rows of bronze towers.
On the tower, one by one, the devil soldiers in armor saluted the blazing general, their eyes full of awe and fear!
Suddenly, on the top of one of the bronze towers, the giant sword behind the devil soldier shook slightly in the scabbard a few times.
In the next second, the giant sword unsheathed itself, as if an invisible person was manipulating it, and before its owner could react, it cut off the head of the devil soldier with a sword!
The Devil Soldier's helmeted head rolled on the metal floor, his eyes full of shock and bewilderment, and he didn't know what had happened until he died.
Killing the only witness, the greatsword flew straight downwards towards the Blazing General!
