Lord of the Oasis

The troops, ready to go, moved forward immediately.

But this time, it was not an evacuation, but 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 have not complained at all, still maintaining high morale, keeping up with the Swadian heavy cavalry who are stepping forward, and moving forward quickly.

From the temporary camp where they are located, to the cave where the underground city is located, there are still 6 hours away.

This is the time for the cavalry to run on their horses.

If walking, multiplied by three times, it will take 18 hours.

That is to say, from the ruins of the temple under the mountain to the underground city of the cave 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, and the time spent on foot is 24%. An hour is a whole day's time, and it's a long way to go!

It is almost comparable to the distance from Sentinel Oasis to Stone Pass.

After all, the desert environment in Nalen is cruel.

It is impossible to go out in the heat of noon, and it is also impossible to move forward in the cold at night.

In addition, the sand layer was soft, which indirectly delayed the marching speed. Therefore, it would take 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.

The worry about the journey is second.

Mainly hell demons.

He is about to enter the area where the cave dungeon is located, and he can arrange for the troops to rest for a while.

But the next attack on hell demons requires a strict battle plan.

After all, Kant and his troops have never had any real communication with this mythical creature, even if they don't know anything about the hell demons in this world.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can win a hundred battles.

Kant and none of them know the fighting style and style of hell demons.

How can we ensure victory?

the enemies we met before,

The high-level gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom can be used as super-heavy human quick-response infantry. Although the name is a bit awkward, they can still be treated in accordance with conventional combat methods. Even if they arrange tactics, they can think as enhanced human beings and make targeted actions. sexual arrangement.

Magical creatures are even simpler. Whether it is a fake version, a common species, or a terrifying murderous species, it is completely regarded as an enhanced version of a beast, and it is still good to use conventional combat methods to solve it.

It's just that hell demons are different.

The 6-meter-high dark red body seemed to imply the flames of hell, and there were countless scars on the huge and sturdy chest, forming a war badge representing honor.

Between the roars, a sulphurous gust of 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 hell demon that is so terrifying that ordinary people can't describe it!

Come to think of it now.

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.

Conventional combat cannot fight hell demons.

This was his thought. He turned his head to look behind him, pursed his lips, and the Rodoc infantry and Ravenston archers with high morale, sighed slightly 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 hell demon.

But now that the decision has been made.

Then Kant will no longer regret, because regret is useless!

"Only go all out!"

Kant murmured softly.

In the dark passage, only two torches were lit in the front and rear.

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 also 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 reached the location of the cave.

Shimmer moss and glow-in-the-dark mushrooms add a veil-like glow.

The dungeon is looming.

However, the troops stopped advancing and stationed in place in the ancient passage. With the bonfire lit, the food and water were heated. They had to take a short rest and replenish their physical strength, so as not to be too tired and unable to persist in the battle during the long journey, resulting in a war situation. crash.

This is a fact. Before launching a raid or attack, any troops who have traveled a long distance will hide themselves and rest for a while. After relieving the fatigue of the long journey, they will have sufficient physical strength to deal with the next battle.

And history has left many similar results.

But not victory.

After the long journey, the troops were completely exhausted because they went directly into the battle, resulting in the collapse of the front line, the collapse of the troops, and the loss of the crucial battle.

Examples abound.

Kant would not have such a low-level error.

Bandak, who is also experienced and is a veteran captain, will not make such a mistake.

Warm hot porridge drank into the bellies of the soldiers.

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 cold body in the passage was gradually warming up. After half an hour of digestion and rest, they were all ready and quietly waiting for Kant's 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 the horse took the lead.

The troops behind them immediately followed, and the sound of footsteps and the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground continued to appear. With the brighter light, they officially entered the cave and came to a flat plaza paved with slate. A thousand meters in front was the majestic underground. The city, and the small half of the city wall that was destroyed by the demons of hell.

The underground river next to it is in the shape of a circular arc. It is estimated from the direction of flowing westward at first, and then it flows in the southwest direction, just bypassing the square next to it and going deep into the rock of the cave.

At the time, Kant had not yet looked closely.

Only now did I discover that there are still ancient passages beside the underground river.

It seems that this cave and dungeon are just the nodes of underground rivers and passages, and there are deeper areas or more dungeons in the south of the deepest mountain range.

But Kant frowned slightly.

To the south of the Sangwaya Mountains is the Principality of Lions.

Judging from the village of "Aaron" on the west side of the Stone Pass, it goes straight to the west for a day and a night, just in the area of ​​the East County Territory. If it really continues to advance south, for example, now, according to the foot soldiers on the flat passage for a day It is estimated that the overnight march can touch the range of the East County Territory, or even cross the Sangwaya Mountains, and it may not be possible to reach the East County Territory directly, or it is entirely possible.

This is not the time to think about it, Kant waved his hand, and all the troops immediately formed into formation, 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 hell demon reappeared.

"Humanity."

It opened its mouth slowly, the anger with sparks from its bull-nosed nostrils, the tyrannical and crazy power was transmitted outside the entire cave, and its suppressed anger: "You led the troops here, it really makes me curious, do you want to Want to..." It said, its eyes widened angrily, full of tyranny: "Conquering me?"

"Huhuhu——" The gust of wind appeared in an instant, and the strong smell of sulfur permeated the entire cave. The many infantry and cavalrymen who were still lined up suddenly made a commotion, and some even took half a step back.

But just at this retreating pace, the entire formation was completely messed up and looked messy.

"Damn!"

Kant gritted his teeth, and he was equally terrified when he faced the sulphur-smelling wind.

It was 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 they almost wanted to collapse on the ground. It's obviously like being frightened by a terrifying beast!

It was only a roar that was almost rebuke, and a gust of wind was actually set off, frightening the hearts of many soldiers, and even the horses were limp and their hooves stood unsteadily, shaking and screaming.

But in an instant.

It seemed that the morale of the troops was instantly lowered, and the golden lion with a red background fluttered directly in the wind.

[The Tendency of Deterring the Enemy] Expand 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, just like the color of the flag of the golden lion on a red background that communicated with the linen robes of many soldiers, and the paint of the golden lion on a red background on the shield. of more and more bright.

"Whoohoo-"

The golden lion on the red background is flying!

The soldiers who had retreated due to cowardice regained their senses, and the armored warhorses, who were so frightened that their hoofs were limp, were equally excited, all stood up and returned to their previous appearances.

"Oh, it was so fast that I recovered under my pressure."

The hell 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 already become mine The Devil Hatchery, now, let you humans see the Devil 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 lined up in the square outside.

"The hell devil's army?"

There was horror in Kant's eyes, but he was immediately stunned when he looked at those troops.

He looked at those arms and felt a little familiar, and quickly brought them into a certain game work in his previous life, and couldn't help but whisper: "Magic boy, long-horned demon, that huge hell demon, is it... the abyss? Devil?!" 8))!!
