vs 40 The Realization of Mortality
Verse 40 Maybe we can defeat this generation of dragon knights, and the demon gods with uncertainty will strike again with the consciousness of death
Just yesterday, after the battle between the six demon gods and dragon knights led by Lapu Yalu ended in a crushing defeat, the demon army was originally about to withdraw its troops and retreat to the demon world, but due to the opposition of the fourth legion commander Rhine, this plan had to be suspended.
For this reason, the high-level military meeting that only the commander of the army can participate in was reconvened, and all the vacancies caused by the death of the demon god were filled by the adjutants.
One of the demon gods asked in a puzzled tone, "Fourth Legion Commander Rhine, didn't you strongly advocate at the previous meeting that it would be wise not to fight the dragon knights and to withdraw immediately, why did your attitude change a hundred and eighty degrees after the battle of Lapuyale?"
"If you can't give a reasonable explanation, then we'll retreat from the battle with the dragon knights in accordance with the conclusion of the previous military meeting. 」
Another demon god joined the question.
The brave demon god is not afraid of death or the sacrifice of his life for the sake of victory, but that is only if it can be rewarded.
If you insist on launching a suicide attack despite the disparity in strength between us and the enemy, it is an idiot thing that only stupid people do.
Of course, Lapu's situation is another matter, as the strongest of Solomon's seventy-two demon gods, if he hurriedly retreats just because of the appearance of the dragon knight, his cowardice before the battle is very likely to damage the prestige of Solomon's demon god king, and it is not conducive to his master competing for the throne of the next great demon god king.
That's why the loyal Lapuya led the other five demon gods who agreed with him to attack the dragon knight with the determination to die.
But it's enough to do this kind of thing once.
"If it is only to maintain the prestige of the Demon God King Solomon, I think the sacrifice of Lap Yale and the others is enough, and there is no need to repeat such a heroic act. 」
When the third legion commander said this, all the demon gods' eyes were focused on Rhine's body, although the words of these speakers were very subtle, but the meaning was very clear.
If Rhine insisted on refusing to retreat just because he wanted to please the Demon God King Solomon, they would not be that interested in accompanying him to carry out a suicide attack.
After being questioned by everyone, Rhine calmly said, "The real reason why I insist on not retreating is that I think that if we fight the dragon knight again, we may have a chance of winning. 」
As soon as this remark came out, everyone present immediately scoffed, and he had said these words once after the battle between Lapuyaru and the Dragon Knight, and none of the demon gods wanted to believe it.
Either I think that Rhine's empty words are unbelievable, or I think that he wants to win and wants to go crazy.
"Of course, I know that the Tao is just meaningless words, and you can't convince everyone here, and these words have a certain basis, so I will say them. 」
Rhine then began to explain where his confidence in being able to defeat the Dragon Knight came from.
During the battle between Lap Yale and the five demon gods and the dragon knights, Rhine observed that the legendary figure, who had not been defeated for 5,000 years, had never used magic.
Not once, which made the demon god really hard to believe.
One of the most important reasons why the Dragon Knight has the title of invincible is that he knows the natural instincts of various races and can use them.
Such as the great power of the dragons, the dark magic of the demons, the light magic of the gods, the natural power of the elves, the elemental magic of the giants, the rage of the beasts, and the illusions of the goblins.
Imagine that no matter which clan you fight against, the dragon knight is proficient in the opponent's attack methods, and of course he is invincible from the beginning.
However, Rhine found that in this battle, the dragon knights did not use any other means of attack except to use a force comparable to that of the dragons.
This is really suspicious.
Then Rhine thought of a strange rumor that had been circulating for a long time, that is, the will of Atlantis, the world's own will, was extremely angry at the dragon knight's excessive slaughter, so it cursed the tenth dragon knight to never descend into the world.
If these two things are thought together, Rhine doubts that the current dragon knight is really the invincible and invincible 'dragon knight' that everyone has heard of for 5,000 years?
Could it be that as rumored, the tenth generation of dragon knights will not be able to descend to this world at all.
"You don't want to say that the dragon knight who defeated the demon god Lapuya is fake, right? How is this possible? The appearance of the dragon knight's holy body is exactly the same as the description in the record, without the slightest error, and there is no strong person in the human race other than the dragon knight who can fight against our demon god. 」
After listening to Rhine's explanation, one of the demon gods shook his head and replied in a negative tone, as if he couldn't believe it.
Immediately, someone echoed what the demon god said just now, saying, "Just like what the Sixth Legion Commander said, I also think that dragon knight should be true and right, otherwise how could he defeat the demon god who is difficult to meet in the world so easily. 」
Even when he was refuted by his colleagues, Rhine was not moved, and said lightly: "I'm not saying that this dragon knight is fake, I just think that maybe there is something strange about his body, and he is no longer the peak state of invincibility in the past five thousand years. Of course, it is undeniable that perhaps the Dragon Knight thinks too highly of himself, believing that it is enough to kill our demon gods with great strength alone, and there is no need to use magic at all. 」
Now that Rhine has spoken out all of his concerns, those who want to refute it with this reason are silent.
"Assuming you're right, what do you think are the chances of us fighting the Dragon Knight again?"
In the end, some people were tempted by the possibility of defeating the invincible dragon knight in the world, and asked so.
Rhine said without any falsehood: "Frankly speaking, the odds of victory are about 10% at most, but they are not too high, and if everyone thinks that it is not necessary to try, then I will agree to withdraw from the army." 」
"No, the chance of being able to defeat the invincible dragon knight in the world is only one percent, and it is worth risking your life to challenge. 」
The commander of the First Army, who was previously the adjutant of Lapuyale, said heroically that the demon gods expressed their approval one after another, and all of them unanimously approved the Rhine's proposal.
So all of these demon gods attacked Shangri-La again, preparing to fight the dragon knight to the death.
