Lord of the Oasis Chapter 240: .Abyss Demon’s troops
The armed forces advance immediately.
But this time, instead of evacuating, they continued to march along the ancient passage to the cave dungeon at a constant speed.
Although they have been in the gloomy and cold ancient passage for nearly 12 hours, these soldiers did not complain at all, still maintaining high morale, keeping up with the Swadian heavy cavalry who stepped forward, and hurried towards the forward.
From their temporary camp to the cave where the dungeon is located, there are still 6 hours away.
It's time for the cavalry to run.
If walking, multiplied by three, it will take 18 hours.
In other words, from the ruins of the temple under the top of the mountain to the karst cave dungeon discovered by Kant, even if there is a road that is neat and almost entirely paved with stone slabs, it can support a fast march. A full 24 hours is a whole day, and the journey is very long!
Almost comparable to the distance from Sentinel Oasis to Stone Pass.
After all, the desert environment of Narun is cruel.
It is too hot to go out at noon, and it is also impossible to go out in the cold at night.
In addition, the sand layer was soft, which indirectly delayed the marching speed. Therefore, it took 3 days and 4 nights even to drive a horse from the sentry oasis to the stone pass.
Kant rode ahead with a grim expression on his face.
The worry about the journey is second.
Primarily **** demons.
He is about to enter the area where the cave dungeon is located. He can arrange for the troops to rest for a while.
But the next attack on **** demons requires a strict battle plan.
After all, Kant and his troops have never communicated with this mythical creature in any real sense, even if they have no understanding of the **** demons in this world.
If you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in every battle.
Kant and none of them know the fighting style and style of **** demons.
How can victory be guaranteed?
The enemy I encountered before, the high-level gnoll of the Greymane Kingdom, can be used as a super-heavy human quick-response infantry. Although the name is a bit awkward, it can still be treated in accordance with conventional combat methods. Even if it is arranging tactics, it can be strengthened. version of the human to think and make targeted arrangements.
Magical creatures are even simpler. Whether it is a fake version, a common species, or a terrifying ferocious species, it is completely treated as an enhanced version of a beast, and it is good to use conventional combat methods to solve it.
It's just that **** demons are different.
The 6-meter-high dark red body seems to contain the flames of hell, and there are countless scars on the huge and strong chest, forming a war badge representing honor.
Between the roars, a gust of sulphurous wind was surging invisibly.
The power of terror spreads.
Even after thousands of years of seals, it has been weakened to the extreme, but it still has this power, which is completely in line with the image of the devil that Kant obtained from the film and television literature in his previous life.
A **** demon that is so terrifying that ordinary people can't describe it!
Now think about it.
Kant's heart is still beating fast.
The heart is surging to supply blood to the whole body, and the hormones are secreted at a rapid rate.
Normal combat cannot fight the **** demons.
This is what he thought. He turned his head and looked behind him, pursed his lips, his face was determined, and the morale of the Rhodok infantry and Ravenston archers raised a little sigh in their hearts.
He didn't know whether it was right or wrong that he led the team to the cave dungeon to attack the **** demon.
But now that the decision has been made.
Then Kant will no longer regret it, because regret is useless!
"Only go all out!"
Kant murmured softly.
In the dark passage, only two torches were lit in front and back.
The troops were marching, the soldiers stepped out of the neat queue, and the sound of clang echoed in the passage.
Under the leadership of Lord Kant, no one is afraid.
It is an honor to die in battle.
After nearly 30 hours of long-distance travel, taking a short break in the middle, and defeating the raids of several demonized creatures that were not afraid of death, they finally arrived at the location of the cave.
Shimmer moss and glow-in-the-dark mushrooms add a veil-like glow.
The dungeon looms.
The troops stopped advancing and stayed in place in the ancient passage. With the bonfire lit, the food and water were heated. They had to take a short rest to replenish their physical strength, so as not to be overworked and unable to persist in the battle due to long-distance travel , leading to the collapse of the war.
It is a fact that any troops who have traveled a long distance will hide themselves and rest for a while before launching a surprise or attack.
And history has left many similar results.
But it's not a victory.
After a long journey, the troops were completely exhausted because they were directly involved in the battle, resulting in the collapse of the front line, the collapse of the troops, and the loss of crucial battles.
Examples abound.
Kant would not have such a low-level error.
Bandak, who is also experienced and a veteran captain, would not make such a mistake either.
Warm hot porridge drank into the soldiers' stomachs.
In addition, the baked soft and crispy bread slices, and the salty and delicious air-dried meat are all good helpers to replenish physical strength.
And, of course, date palm sugar cubes.
After eating and drinking, many soldiers all stood up and exercised a little. The body was gradually warmed up due to the cold in the passage. After half an hour of digestion and rest, they were all ready, quietly waiting for Kant to issue an order. .
Bandak was holding a siege crossbow and looked at Kant with the same solemn expression.
"Let's go."
Kant spoke in a deep voice, and his horse took the lead.
The troops behind them immediately followed, and the sound of footsteps and the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground continued. Following the brighter light, they officially entered the cave and came to a flat plaza paved with slate. A thousand meters away, there was The towering dungeon, and the small half of the city wall that was destroyed by the **** demons.
The underground river next to it is in the shape of a circular arc. It is estimated that it flows westward at first, and then flows southwestward, just bypassing the square next to it and going deep into the rock of the cave.
At the time, Kant had not looked closely.
Only now I found out that there are still ancient passages next to the underground river.
As if this cave and dungeon are just nodes of underground rivers and passages, there are deeper areas or more dungeons on the south side of the deepest mountain range.
But Kant frowned slightly.
On the south side of the Sanwaya Mountains lies the Principality of Lions.
According to the view from the village "Aaron" on the west side of the Stone Pass, it will go straight west for a day and a night, just reaching the area of the East County. The day and night marching on the passage is estimated to be able to touch the range of the East County Territory, and even over the Sangwaya Mountains, it may not be possible to reach the East County Territory directly, or it is entirely possible.
Now is not the time to think about this, Kant waved his hand, and all the troops immediately lined up to form, advancing through the gap in the city wall, and only slowly stopped after approaching a range of 800 meters.
Because of the gap, the 6-meter-high **** demon reappeared.
"Humans."
It opened its mouth slowly, and from its bull-nosed nostrils, the anger with sparks spewed out, the tyrannical power of madness was transmitted outside the entire cave, and its pent-up anger: "You led the troops here, it really makes me curious. , want to..." It said, its eyes widened angrily, full of tyranny: "Are you attacking me?"
"Huhuhu——" The gust of wind appeared instantly, and the strong smell of sulfur permeated the entire cave. Many infantry and cavalrymen who were still lined up suddenly made a commotion, and some even took half a step back.
But at this retreating pace, the entire formation was completely disorganized and looked chaotic.
"Damn!"
Kant gritted his teeth, and he was equally terrified when he faced the sulphur-smelling wind.
That's the fear that suddenly appeared in my heart!
Even the Swadian heavy cavalry, as well as the armored warhorses under Kant's crotch, were still standing, but after experiencing this terrifying gust of wind, they neighed slightly, their limbs swayed, and almost all wanted to go limp On the ground, it was obviously like being frightened by a terrifying beast!
It was just a roar that was almost a rebuke, but a gust of wind actually set off, scaring the hearts of many soldiers to the point where even the horses were slumped and their hooves stood unsteadily, swaying and screaming.
But in an instant.
It seems that the morale of the troops has been reduced instantly, and the golden lion on the red background flutters directly in the wind.
[Deterrence of the enemy] unfolds immediately.
The flag moves automatically when there is no wind, and it sounds like a hunting sound when a strong wind blows.
And the golden lion on the flag also began to sway with majesty, just like the flag color of the red-backed golden lion on the linen robes of many soldiers, and the red-backed golden lion on the shield. Bright red and gold are more dazzling.
"Huhuhu——"
The golden lion on the red background is flying!
The soldiers who had retreated due to cowardice regained their senses, and the armored horses, whose hoofs were paralyzed with fright, were equally excited, all stood up and returned to their previous appearances.
"Wow~IndoMTL.com~ so fast, it recovered under my pressure."
The **** demon grinned in a low voice.
But in the tyranny and madness in his eyes, there is also a bit of fear: "But what can you do even if you recover, for thousands of years, my scattered power has already eroded a lot of seals, and the entire dungeon has long been Become my devil hatchery, now, let you humans see the demon army that once fought against the gods!"
“Ow—”
The roar suddenly appeared, and behind the 10-meter-high city wall, dark red figures slowly appeared, and they walked out of the ruins of the city wall and came to line up in the square outside.
"A force of **** demons?"
Kant's eyes were filled with horror, but he was immediately stunned when he looked at those troops.
He looked at those troops and felt a little familiar, and quickly brought them into a certain game work in his previous life, and couldn't help but whispered: "Magic boy, long-horned demon, that huge **** demon, isn't it? It's... abyss demon?!" 8))!!
