Chapter 42: The Swarming Demons
At the entrance to the stone arena, hundreds of cowardly demons gathered together in a chaotic manner, as if they could kill each other at any moment. However, the level of the succubus is obviously too high, and it can still suppress them for the time being, so that there is no disturbance.
On the top floor of the building on the other side, more than a dozen people waited nervously, trying to avoid being discovered by the demons below, and as the commander of this operation, only Leo and Forado Ruins Parkinson stood at the window, cautiously observing the situation below.
After a long silence, Leo asked in a very low voice, "Mr. Forado, what do you think we have a chance of winning?"
"Originally, I thought it was at least ninety percent, but now, I'm afraid it's less than sixty percent. Forado did not lie to Leo, but truthfully said what was in his heart.
This answer surprised Leo a little, so he asked, "Well, why do you say that?"
Forado's eyes narrowed slightly, and he swept through the group of demons below: "The succubus that is opening the door should not be an ordinary succubus. ”
Leo also looked over, and became more and more puzzled, "But I don't see any difference between her and the other succubi. ”
"Yes, it's really no different, but I think it's most likely just a disguise. If you look closely, all the demons dare not approach her, even the other succubi. So I think that succubus is probably the most elite crimson handmaiden. Forado patiently and meticulously analyzed what he had observed.
From the beginning of contact, he has never regarded Leo as an unworldly young man, and the more he understands, the better it will be for the final situation, provided that he does not do anything disgusting.
"Crimson maid, that's really hard to deal with. Leo said with a relaxed expression.
He already knew what it was when he was doing a science study on the wiki before.
As the only succubus queen in the abyss, Sulla treats all succubi as her children and devotees, giving them special favors. Even though most succubi are headstrong and fickle, Sula shows an unbelievably tolerant attitude.
Even those succubi who wander outside and do not believe in the succubus queen, such as the well-known informant in the city of a thousand gates, Sula only treats her as a lost lamb, and often only uses gentle methods such as co-optation, rather than taking strong measures, which is extremely rare among tyrannical and manic demons.
Although the vast majority of people with knowledge of the abyss, including Sulla herself, are well aware of it, succubi are in fact the same as most demons. It is not for Sula to create a zào, but it is a gradual evolution of the prayers, but their evolution is in the direction of desire, not other negative reflections. But Sulla is still like this, and it hasn't changed for thousands of years.
At the same time, there are also rank differences among these succubi who are favored by Sula, among which the strongest and most know how to cater to Sula's heart. Naturally, it will also be pampered more. They will become the most powerful members of the Crimson Church under Sulla's command, helping Sulla manage his day-to-day affairs and master the trillion-tailster demon army, as well as the churchgoers of other planes.
There was still a smile on Leo's face. Forado was a little surprised: "Why don't you look worried?"
"I'm very worried. Leo shook his head slightly and continued: "It's just the current situation, even if you are depressed, it won't help. ”
"Very good mentality, if only everybody could think like you. In that way, our chances of success can be increased by at least 10%. Forado looked back at the others, including Kamoa, all of whom looked terrified. I had to sigh helplessly.
This time, Leo didn't answer the other man's words, but asked, "If that's what you say, how do you think we should deal with a crimson maid?"
Forado also knew that his current love was completely meaningless, so he immediately replied: "In this regard, there is not much difference from other succubi. Succubi's most powerful means is seduction, which is their talent and we can't avoid it, not even women. And the crimson maid's ability in this aspect will only become more prominent. ”
Seeing that he had recovered his ease so quickly, Leo said equally easily: "But the necromancer should have a lot of experience in this regard." ”
Forado laughed and said, "It's true, in dealing with charm, the necromantic faction and the illusion faction also have an advantage. ”
"So what rank do you think the crimson maid should be?" Leo continued.
At the mention of this, Forado chuckled in his heart, and said in horror: "Damn, I actually let people who forgot this, and those who are above level 3 cannot enter the ruins!"
"The Crimson Handmaiden ......"
"They can't just be level 3, which means they can not be affected by here, this is their domain...... Our enemies will only be more difficult to deal with than we think. Forado's face finally darkened completely.
Such a discovery made the atmosphere of the whole room a little more solemn.
Suddenly, a series of explosions appeared in the distance, and the fierce flames made Leo see clearly even from a long distance.
"Fight again...... I don't know which team it is this time. ”
The demons below naturally had the same guesses as them, the succubus who was identified by Forado as the Crimson Handmaiden had significantly sped up, but for some reason, she was never able to open the door of the Blood Arena, and since she had already lost one person before, she did not dare to rise into the air.
There was no way, the succubus turned his head and said something in a soft tone. As soon as her words fell, the other succubus nodded and moved quickly in the direction of the square.
It was too far away for Leo to know what the succubus was saying, but fortunately, Parkinson's ears were amazing, and his memory was equally amazing, and he repeated what the succubus had said.
This husky language is obviously demonic, but Leo can't understand it, so he has to look at the wiki, hoping that the other party can give a translation.
Vicky's expression was a little unnatural, but he immediately said, "That succubus asked his accomplices to send in some Burst Demons and Strong Spine Demons. ”
Forado was stunned and said, "She's going to blow this place up?"
Leo thought a little more: "It seems that she has to enter the arena, I guess she must know something, we can't hesitate any longer." ”
"You want to do it now?" Forado clenched his fists unconsciously.
Leo replied with a firm face: "No, even if we can succeed if we do it now, we will be more troublesome when the Burst Demon and the Strong Spine Demon arrive, and it is likely that it will be too late in time, but it is better to wait for the Burst Demon to explode through the passage, and the scene will be chaotic before attacking." ”
Forado's expression changed, and finally he nodded: "Okay, you can command the battle for a while, and I will try my best to cooperate." ”
The other party's request was exactly in Leo's arms, and he was not modest at once, and said very strictly: "No problem, due to the existence of the magic contract, I can't deliberately put everyone in danger, so I ask everyone to believe me, after the war, I will not allow anyone to question any orders I have given." ”
............
A hideous demon with a height of three meters and a dark red body walked slowly, and the originally noisy cowardly demons were immediately silenced and dodged to the side, and some unlucky people who didn't have time to get out of the way were naturally crushed into minced meat by the tall demons mercilessly.
It had a pair of demonic horns on its head, and its body was full of tangled muscles, especially in its back, which were bulging enough to break through the ill-fitting chain mail. Behind it, there was a strange demon that looked like a bird, and its neck was firmly bound by chains, allowing the tall demon to drag it forward.
"Fortunately, there is only one, otherwise we can really give up, this guy's strength is definitely up to level 5 warriors." Vicky Cha said.
The demon in front of him is the strong spine demon mentioned earlier, and among the many varieties of demons, it can be ranked in the middle, and its status is even higher than that of the succubus. However, under the rule of Succubus Queen Sula, the status of the succubus is far higher than that of other demons, and even the most powerful Balorfire demon must obey the command of some succubi.
And the one dragged by the strong spine demon is naturally the Burst Demon. This kind of demon level is very low, barely a star and a half stronger than cowardly demons, but in their bodies, they have some special energy, once the main body dies, it will explode violently. Therefore, in the demon army, this kind of demon is often used as a physical bomb, and some mages of the main material plane also like to capture this kind of demon, and use guò alchemy methods to make a powerful magic bomb, the best of which can even reach the destructive power of high-level plastic magic.
At this moment, a group of people had come down from the top floor of the building and lurked around the corner.
Leo poked his head out slightly, patiently looking for an opportunity to attack, while repeating his plan in his mind over and over again, looking for possible loopholes.
Forado fell in the center of the team and was responsible for dispatching several low-level mages according to Leo's orders, while John and Niri, the only melee professionals, followed Leo from left to right to avoid any accidents. As for Parkinson and Lulu, they were arranged by Leo to sneak out, waiting for an opportunity to find key targets and launch a sneak attack.
The strong spine demon came to the succubus at the door and had a few words of low conversation with the other party. At this time, there was no wiki to translate, and Leo didn't know what they were saying, but it could be seen from the expression of the strong spine demon that it was very afraid of succubi, which also confirmed Forado's suspicion.
After a short conversation, the succubus left the entrance of the arena with light steps, and the strong spine demon also retreated more than ten meters, and then suddenly used his arms to pick up the dragged blast demon and smash it out. (To be continued......)
