Chapter 185: The Red Dragon Rush
Under the crimson sky, there will never be a dawn on the battlefields of Aphnath, the air filled with flames and smoke, and the ground filled with broken bodies torn apart by swords and battle axes.
The roars of battle and the screams of death mingle to form a map of hell where demons and demons revel, towering flames erupt from the cracks of hell, and heavily armored demon lords wreak havoc on the battlefield, killing every time their tomahawks fall.
Although true victory in the bloody war is never far away, the demons' bloodthirst and desire for destruction drive them to continue fighting in this endless bloody war until death drags their broken souls back into the depths of the abyss.
Viewed from the air, the battlefield that has invaded the hinterland of Aphernas resembles a huge meat grinder, with fire demons and hellhounds roaring on the ground, and flying devils arcing through the sky, dropping alchemy bombs and flames, and demons wielding huge weapons to launch one charge after another against the shattered and reorganized lines of defense that the demons have been beaten again and again.
And even farther in the depths of Avnath, countless devil armies gathered from the sentry posts of ten miles, and then, like fellow army ants, from small formations into squadrons, squadrons into brigades, and finally the brigades converged into a thousand-strong army, and then quickly rushed to the defensive positions assigned by their superiors under the leadership of the devil generals, quickly assessed the surrounding terrain and then dug traps on the spot to build a new line of defense.
"Colin! Do you know where this demon came from? ”
On a dark red plateau, Dagoth, one of the Eight Dark Demon Generals, 'Pride and Contempt', no longer knows how many times he has urged this key battlefield intelligence.
And this time, Colin, who was forever between silence and madness, finally had an impatient echo:
"The devil scattered from the front line has discovered that a large crater has appeared on the surface of the ground about 13,000 kilometers outside the defense line of the bronze fortress."
"The tunnel dug by the devil?" Dagoth seemed a little incredulous when these demons started to grow brains.
But the tributaries of the River Styx underneath are changing almost all the time, which is a near-impossible task for the orderly devil.
Could it be that there are some difficult guys on the other side of the abyss, such as from the Dark Lord Grazt, the most demon-like demon lord.
"I don't know, but according to my intuition, it's more like being squeezed from there, and you know, since that lady opened up the second battlefield last year, those demons have started to rush like maggots that smell, blocked by the bronze fortress, and the road to the 'heavens' is too narrow, like an anal fistula, porphyry, squeezed out from below."
"Damn Colin, you're still as unappetizing as ever!"
The response from the other side was a burst of laughter, half gloating, half maniac.
Dagoth was silent for a while, and then said, "I need military support!" There is a chance to destroy that tunnel. ”
"Oh, old man, this is your defense zone, and if something like this happens, you'll have to talk to Bayer."
"Karma Sekas!" Dagoth angrily interrupted the magical communication.
As the Eight Demon Generals, of course he knew that the forces of Bato Hell were always in a state of tension, as long as it was not similar to the appearance of a large breach in the Bronze Fortress, or the threat of destruction in strategic locations such as the Torment Ground and the Maggot's Den, the various defense areas of Bato Hell would not easily change drastically.
Because no one knows if this is a 'genius idea' from which demon lord patted his head, and under such a large deployment of troops, it will lead to a more severe battle situation.
In any case, although the status quo has long passed, before Baier came to power, under the leadership of the radical Grand Duke Zarrell, and even longer under the reign of Tiamat as Grand Duke, Aphnanas was beaten into a sieve, and it was the norm to be forever torn between defense in depth and a great counteroffensive.
Today's war, with the bronze fortress as the main line of defense, belongs to a rare period of 'great peace' in bloody battles.
Therefore, even if the Fortress of the Scales was attacked, it would be a situation that Tiamat and his vassals should deal with.
But only as one of the Eight Demon Generals, he knows that since the time of eternity, the Dark Eight Demon Generals are not so-called immortal, on the contrary, the death of their members is quite regular, either died on the battlefield, or the result of internal strife, and then will quickly select the successor of the dead general, and the other members tacitly cover up this truth, and each new Deep Hell Purgatory has adopted the name of the deceased, and reshaped his appearance as needed to take over the position of the predecessor.
In fact, apart from the 'hypocritical and taciturn' Balzefin, who is the only surviving founding member of the Dark Eight, like the devil under the name of 'Dagoth of Pride and Contempt', the 'core' doesn't know how much stubble has changed.
Should we take this risk? 'Dagoth is almost certain that the demons, whether intentional or not, will attach great importance to this 'tunnel' leading to the hinterland of Aphnanas, and that there will be more than one demon lord who will defend it at all costs.
For this life- and honor-worthy decision, stood like a statue on this high ground for twenty-three days.
Just when the battle line was pushed by the demon army less than five miles in front of him like a blood-colored millstone, and the battlefield with interlaced teeth stretched to the point where it could not be seen, a piercing and low roar broke the anxiety on the battlefield, and I saw that a 'chariot' that was rapidly approaching this bloody battlefield became the new focus of the battlefield.
"Soul train?" looked at the train that was resolutely heading towards the battlefield with some incredulity, wondering where the demons on duty who drove the train got the courage.
However, it can also be understood, because many times, once you have 'seen' the bloody battle with your own eyes, you may not know when you have rushed into the battlefield, and you may not be able to turn around.
If placed on a physical plane such as Elaria, the appearance of the Soul Train would be absolutely disturbing and frightening.
It is made entirely of dark helliron and twisted steel, the body is carved with eerie runes and statues of demons, the head of the train is a hideous devil's head, the windows of the train are heavy iron bars, and the carriages are wrapped with chains and spikes, making the whole train look like a monster in captivity.
In fact, the Soul Train has been deployed as a chariot on the battlefield of bloody battles since the casting of Hell.
It was once a perfect symbol of hell, navigating bloody battlefields with untold fear and pain, bringing reinforcements and supplies to the front lines as soon as they could.
However, due to the almost paranoid pursuit of its designer, the amount of souls consumed by it at full speed is so terrifying that it has reached the point where the newly born evil demons have begun to decrease year by year, so that it has to be sent to its current position as a wagon under the pilgrimage of a certain Grand Duke of Aphnanas, and every time it is thrown into a soul shell, it can pull the supplies that can only be transported by an army, so as to conform to the style of hell to be squeezed out of its use.
But soon, not only the devil general Dagoth, but also the demons on the edge of the battlefield began to notice the unusualness of this soul train for the first time.
It shook off all the cargo boxes, leaving only a rough chariot with the front of the chariot running on the rails in disrepair, and on the soul furnace, there were at least eight dragons of various colors lying on their stomachs, and the eyes of the other dragons were full of horror, except for a red dragon standing in the wind, with its scarlet wings outstretched, one leg on the front of the car, [arrogantly] looking down at the bloody battlefield in front of him.
IT'S JUST THAT THIS KIND OF ALMOST DOMINEERING [ARROGANCE] OFTEN DOESN'T LAST LONG, AND 'YUE' VOMITS WILDLY.
And what it vomited out was not food, but the shell of the soul that he had devoured beforehand.
So every time the red dragon vomited and the soul shell was poured into the soul furnace, the train's machine began to roar, spewing black smoke and flames from the cracks in the body, and the devil statue on the train seemed to be flashing with a scarlet gaze.
Its wheels, which had long ceased to be rounded and regular, kept wearing out on the tracks, emitting a creepy scream.
So when David's outstretched wings spewed out four flames like rocket engines at the same time, the train finally exceeded the speed for which it was originally designed, and reached the theoretical speed of a near-vacuum tube maglev train - 1,224 kilometers per hour.
The nose of the hideous devil's car began to appear in the shape of a cone-shaped sonic boom cloud.
Then, the entire column of soul chariots, which were already faintly red, derailed without incident.
Straight and wild rushed into the tide of demons that were being bombarded indiscriminately by the fire meteor.
At that moment, the sudden explosion of the blood curtain and the sound of the subsequent collision of steel shook the entire bloody battlefield.
The demons who were the first to avoid or excitedly tried to stop them scattered like fallen leaves before the autumn wind under the impact of steel.
But in David's eyes, it is somewhat similar to a drifting boat swooping down a water slide in an amusement park, except that it splashes rain and is smelly flesh.
[Arrogance]
Almost instantly, all the 'passengers' on it, including the entire soul train, were draped in blood-colored robes.
And no matter what color the dragon was before, it has become a 'red dragon'.
"Wow, wow, wow. Ahem, ahem! "Only Lizzlit, who is also a real red dragon, felt an unprecedented excitement and 'freedom', but when she opened her mouth, she was filled with the stinking blood curtain.
Just suddenly rushed into the tide of demons, the soul train that was already supersonic seemed to rush into a muddy field, and its speed began to plummet, from the original 1224 kilometers to 700 kilometers, 400, 200, 90!
It's to the limit!
As a result, the demons who came back to their senses began to rush towards the train, and many of them were large demons with a body comparable to the size of Ultraman monsters, such as the Baro Flame Demon and even the Demon Lord.
It seems that there is an interest in these dragons who dare to drive into the bloody battlefield, and it is a good choice to capture and transform into the Abyss Demon Dragon.
"Hurry up! The rest of the trip will be a little bumpy. Davy let out a low growl.
"Huh?" The dragons, including the dragon father Artilisia, and the two dependents were stunned.
Isn't that bumpy enough?
But he still dragged the carriage tightly according to the instinct of survival.
David, whose eyes were full of excitement and madness, pulled the lever of the soul train with his tail wrapped around it at ninety degrees, and the entire body drifted in place on the battlefield strewn with corpses and blood, bypassing the swarming demon tide in front of him, and then staged the 'vampire survivors' on the bloody battlefield of Aphronas.
In short, where the demons are sparse, rush wherever they are, and try to stay away from those high-level demons and demon lords.
The general direction is towards the Devil's Line.
"Combat !!" Davy, lying on the soul furnace, his two paws did not stop, and the battlefield of Aphners sparkled fireworks.
The scattered weapons of the lower planes, whether fine or crude, began to melt together with the viscous blood, and finally in David's claws, two four-meter-long Hell Iron Great Swords took shape, and suddenly the man stood up.
Driving a chariot that was already covered with a layer of blood scabs, with the help of the huge inertial potential energy, like Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse and driving a peerless Lu Bu in the 'Three Kingdoms Warriors', swept over with a sword, just like a neat leek field after the sickle in the field, invincible all the way.
The [arrogant] demeanor that regarded blood as nothing, instantly attracted the attention of Dagoth, who was known as 'pride and contempt':
"Which warrior under the command of this demon general is so brave?"
So much so that the rest of the dragons, who were also fighting desperately, looked dwarfed.
Seeing a mad war demon rushing towards the train, the white dragon Murphyler was about to be scared to pee for the second time on the spot, and a mouthful of ice dragon breath spewed out, and on the spot, it was like launching in advance, and his face was covered with his face.
"Don't breathe into front if you don't breathe hard, idiot!" Alphonse, who was also affected, cursed angrily, and then spat acid to the sides with his black dragon sister Viola.
The dragon sister Tanya, under the cover of her father Artillicia, conserves her magic and uses just the right spell to solve some demons that Davy can't take care of.
At this time, the Lust Demon Yolanda, Zolsiat, and the Barbarian Locinder became embarrassed, and could only deal with some of the vulture-headed Flodemons who were already lying on the train and even swooping towards them.
But soon, the demon general Dagoth noticed that something was wrong, according to the opponent's route, he did not come to participate in the battle at all, but tried to rush into the temporary defense line of his own troops by taking advantage of the bloody battlefield, and immediately became angry, and ordered in a low voice:
"Red Dragon Warrior who broke into the bloody battlefield, in the name of the Sixth Legion of Bato Hell, the Eight Demon General of Hell, Dagoth, I command you to immediately leave my defense line and charge in the northeast direction, detonate the soul train, and blow up the tunnel from which the abyssal demons gush out. After this is done, I will use the power of the demon general to elevate your soul and purify the demons in the deep hell. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence on the battlefield, and all the devils showed incredulous, envious and jealous eyes.
O Hellpurgatory!
That's the final form in which all demons can theoretically be promoted!
And such an opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step was actually bumped into by a red dragon cub?
It's just that it's just as hard to accomplish that incredible task.
But David just glanced at the so-called Eight Demon General with the eyes of an idiot, and still rushed towards the devil's defense line without hesitation.
The heart said that if I don't go out again, I will die? Is it stupid or stupid to listen to you at this time?
Hellpurgatory? Who is so rare?
This kind of disregard, which was almost [arrogant], instantly Dagoth's anger almost boiled:
"Running into the line of the devil's army is a capital offense."
Seeing that the soul train was getting closer and closer, Dagoth brazenly ordered:
"Target, soul train, magic salvo!
"Put!"
In an instant, all sorts of destructive spells from hell headed towards the soul train where David and the others were.
In the eyes of the devil and the devil, the red dragon held its head high against the spells in the sky and clenched the dragon's claws.
With David's action, all the spells that came from him dissipated in an invisible ripple, and the demons surging around him were thrown in all directions like scattered fireworks.
Nine-Ring Force Field Protection Magic - [Release Technique]
Seeing that the devil general was about to wave his hand again, David took a deep look at him, and pulled the lever to turn around ninety degrees:
"Dagoth, huh? You're waiting for me! ”
[Fury]
Dagoth was watching with some amusement as the stupid red dragon obediently walked away from the line.
But gradually, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because this dragon is not heading northeast.
Instead, they galloped due east.
The end of the East.
It's the rushing River Styx.
