231. Against
"Just quickly dismantle the opponent's troops. Although there are more devils in terms of quantity, we are all elites, so we should avoid consuming and quick battles with the opponent."
At the battle meeting, the information of immediately starting the battle was just like this. Lance could understand why they thought so. After all, they were the most outstanding elite troops under the Demon Lord. Tens of thousands of troops were all composed of troops of level 7 or above. In addition to Winged Demons and Mad Demons, there was even a large demon legion of level 9 troops. Such combat power was placed in any place in the abyss, and it was a combat power that could sweep the enemy.
On the other hand, their opponents were just a group of invaders who liked to make noise on the border. Although Lance had a criminal record of using his own troops to defeat them in Feront County, what he won was not praise for him, but instead made people feel that "Ah, the enemy is just this level", which means that in their opinion, it is a piece of cake to deal with these weak devils.
But is this really the case? Although Lance also believed in the combat power of leading these soldiers, the group of devils always gave him a very bad impression. When he was in Feront County, he could only say that with Yiwen's prophecy, they were prepared to catch the other party off guard.
But now nearly a month has passed since the devil and the others entered this land. Can the combat power be measured by the original standards? And no one would think that these devils came to the abyss plane from the ground all the way to occupy a few pieces of land.
Lance could feel that the other party must be brewing something, but it was not successful yet, or it just didn't surface. No matter what, Lance was cautiously sent some soldiers to the front line to investigate first. After all, Earl Astin's food and army had not been delivered, and there was still some time before the formal battle.
"Really, should I say that the young master lacks domineering or is he too cautious in doing things. Obviously, such an opponent can solve it in just a few seconds."
"Haha. After all, I haven't been on the battlefield much, so this kind of performance is reasonable."
Such evaluations are everywhere in the army, and it also indirectly reflects that everyone is more inclined to be lucky rather than strength for the success of Lance's last team leader.
"Mr. County Master, these guys are actually rude to you!"
"Forget it, don't care." Lance gave up Parker's idea of going up and arguing with those guys. This is not how generous Lance is. If Parker is very strong, it's understandable, but if he goes up and is taught a lesson by the other party, let him spare such a thing.
"Since Lord Lancelot said so..." Parker still looked grieved.
"Anyway, in the name of my father Lord Relton, you ask the county magistrates of several nearby counties to gather troops to assist us, and you must not give the devils a chance to turn the war. Understand?" Lance ordered that he was the agent Lord Relton leading his troops to the expedition, so at this time, he could indeed exercise the right to let the border town work together.
"Wouldn't this be a bit too much?" Eugene said, obviously, he was also a strong believer who had crushed the strong believers with force, but due to the lord's face, he couldn't disobey Lance's will in person.
Another guard who was assigned to take care of Lance, Duoduli, said nothing. This may be just because of his personality, but judging from his expression, his thoughts were obviously contrary to Lance. However, based on the old lord's instructions, if he questioned Lance, he was questioning Lord Reelton himself, so he reluctantly followed Lance's instructions.
It can be said that the only one who truly believed in unrighteousness was the only guards he brought out from Gulu Ridge at first. If he had known this, he should have brought more people, at least if Heigang and others were brought, there would not be such a one-sided disadvantage here.
However, he also knew in his heart that changing such prejudice was not a matter of a day or a night, and because of this, he had to gather more people to win with one blow and achieve results.
No matter what, although Eugene, Dodorie and others disagreed, they truthfully began to prepare in full swing according to the orders given by Reims. Seeing that a storm of war was finally about to sweep the land overturned by red flames again.
At this time, in the county of Baron dozens of miles apart, the devil's soldiers were constantly gathering. The reason was very simple, that was, the preparation for summoning the demon god Krulut had reached the final stage.
The person in charge of this area is one of the seven Fire Prison Envoy under the command of the tyrant Crulut as Eldano, the devil commander who invaded Feronte County.
The only woman among the envoys of the Flame Prison is the Night Demon Rita, who is famous for her coldness and sanity.
Her skin is blue and has purple patterns like a tattoo. This is a magic circuit that Rita has born with. She has hair curled like seaweed and a thick purple lips. Her body is very charming and exposed to women, but unfortunately, this female devil likes women.
Aside from this, Rita is also one of the few strategists under the tyrants, who are those who rely on strategies to attack rationally. After arriving at this plane, most of the other Fire Prison envoys were busy gathering troops and eroding nearby territory, but Rita was not.
She felt that if she blindly expanded or exposed herself, it would easily cause the counterattack of local powers. Compared with those things that demonstrated her strength, she remembered more that the tyrant Krulut summoned to this plane. In that case, under the leadership of the Demon God, occupying this plane would be a good idea.
For this, she managed all this carefully, and it was almost time to succeed.
The devil traveled through the strata and brought to the abyss world. In addition to crossing the lava belt, the main reason is that there is a barrier between these two planes that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. This is just like the abyss and the human world, which cannot be reached in normal times. Now, relying on the chaos of time and space, many holes (the gate of time and space) have appeared between the original barriers, allowing the devil army to take this opportunity to invade the abyss. However, the size and strength of this hole are still unable to be maintained to the extent that monsters of the level of the demon god can also pass through, so it takes a lot of effort to build a teleportation portal that can expand and stabilize its internal channels.
In any case, Rita's efforts are rewarded. Now the construction of the portal has reached the final end. According to the rewards of her subordinates, the portal will be completely completed in a few days. The powerful tyrant Krulut will descend to this plane, destroy all the creatures you see, and incorporate this land into the devil's territory forever.
"Those idiots who only fight in their heads always talk about Lord Crulut, but they still prioritize their desires when they actually work. Lord Rita, you will definitely be commended by Lord Crulut." Relying gently in Rita's arms was a woman named Carlisle, and also the woman Rita loved.
Unlike the Night Demon, Carlisle's status in the Devil Clan is much lower, but it has to be said that this is indeed a woman with an excellent appearance.
Rita smiled slightly at the words of her beloved. She knew that Carlisle was speaking for her, not knowing whether it was because of women or because of Rita's usual personality. Therefore, among the seven envoys of the Flame Prison under the tyrant, Rita's identity is the most subtle - those male envoys of the Flame Prison took her seriously, so Carlisle's words also meant to let those guys open their dog eyes and take a look.
However, Rita is very frank about the victory or defeat. All she wants is to complete the task assigned to her by Lord Krulut. As for everything after the meeting, let's wait until Lord Krulut enters this world before he decides.
The closer she approached the target, the more cautious Rita was. She gathered all the troops she had scattered out and left only the minimum force to investigate in Leilong City and Nope County, in order to ensure that the portal was foolproof.
"Don't worry, our plan is about to succeed, and Carlisle's contribution is also the result of this."
"No, if it wasn't for Lord Rita's command."
Although he is very capable as a commander, he will also act intimately in public in such a way that he completely ignores the eyes of others.
However, for Rita's men, this situation is already very familiar to everyone, and they will no longer be surprised or complain.
In a peaceful atmosphere, a soldier suddenly ran up and reported that there were important reports.
"At this time, let him come over." Rita felt a little bad in her heart, and Carlisle frowned, but did not speak, but quietly retreated aside. What makes Carlisle smart is that she knows how to observe words and expressions, and never causes trouble for Rita when she is working.
The soldier who had something to report was soon announced and Rita recognized him as the deputy captain of a legion she had stayed in Leilong City.
"What happened?" Rita's voice became cold and inorganic when she was not talking to Carlisle, even the same tone was the corresponding colleague or boss.
The captain shivered for no reason, but he quickly calmed down and reported: "Sir Rita, the demons of Mandora City seem to have made big moves."
"Big move?" Rita was stunned: "What's the matter?"
"Their reinforcements have arrived, and it seems that they have begun to prepare for war, and are constantly operating outside the city."
"Oh..." This was not surprising. After all, he occupied the other party's territory. It would be really strange if the other party did nothing. Rita thought for a while and asked, "Have you found out clearly? Who is the other party's origin?"
"It seems to be the main force!" This time the guards answered very clearly.
"That's a bit bad..." Although Rita said this, her tone was still plain, and she couldn't tell at all that she was worried about the sudden emergence of the army: "Anyway, I have to find a way to drag this time over."
