When Yolande escaped with the remaining elven troops, the original encounter naturally evolved into a pursuit.
Out of greed for souls, Sellon certainly does not want to let any enemy escape. However, this is within the sphere of influence of the elves after all. Yolande is more familiar with the terrain than Sellon. When he leads the remaining troops to After escaping into the forest, Sellon quickly lost track of Yolande.
Druids are worshipers and defenders of nature. They protect nature, and nature will also help them in turn. So when Yolande entered the forest, the entire forest helped him cover his tracks. The big trees with lush branches shook off their leaves. The flying leaves blocked the view. The grass grew wildly on the ground, covering the footprints of the elven troops. The thorn jungle spread and blocked all the forest trails. It was not possible at all. let the demons pass
In this case, the elven troops fled smoothly, while Sellon roared loudly in anger.
Although he set fire to the forest in anger, this not only did not help the problem, but also blocked the path of the demon army. The demons are not afraid of flames, but it does not mean that they will not be harmed by the flames, so In the end, Sellon could only return with the pursuit force in embarrassment.
The demon's army also needs to be repaired. They cannot move forward until the forest fire is extinguished, so they can only clean up the battlefield first.
A large number of elven troops were killed, but the demons were not much better. A similar number of demons were killed and expelled. If Sellon had not magically suppressed Yolande, the consequences of this encounter would have been It’s really unpredictable.
The number of souls that Sellon finally got was more than 600, but in fact, Roy also quietly snatched more than 140 souls on the battlefield, which was quite a lot. After all, at least eight elves were killed in the battle. There were about a hundred people, but since Yolande escaped in the end, Sellon did not know how many troops he had escaped with, so Sellon had no doubts about this number of souls.
The larger the melee, the more Roy can fish in troubled waters and reap more benefits. The rules of the devil's contract are there anyway. How can he be worthy of himself if he doesn't take advantage of the loopholes
After Sellon handed over Roy's share, it was equivalent to that in this battle, Roy had obtained a total of about two hundred souls, plus the souls that Roy had obtained one after another before. The total number is now almost three hundred.
This is a number of souls that he could not imagine in the abyss world. In the abyss world, he had to fight to obtain it. It would take at least a month of continuous fighting to get three hundred souls. But here, he only got it after participating in a few battles. Well, it seems that it makes sense for demons to like war.
Three hundred souls sounds like a lot, but for Roy's next plan, I'm afraid it's still not enough, because about a hundred of these souls were divided by Sellon, and they are all small in size. The soul of soul power.
Fortunately, it is foreseeable that there will be many battles between Sellon's troops and the elves in the future, and Roy will have many opportunities to continue to get souls.
The appearance of Yolande further confirmed the fact that the elves are gathering in the main city. As long as Sellon continues to advance, encounters like this one will definitely happen again. The only thing Roy is worried about now is , if we continue to fight like this for a few more times, Sellon's troops will become less and less. No matter how powerful Sellon's magic is, it is impossible to have no losses at all in the battle. If the troops lose too much, Roy will be there. When the team is involved in a battle, it will also become more and more dangerous. If you want to continue to seize souls with ease, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
So after thinking about it, Roy felt that he should persuade Sellen to find a way to replenish his troops.
However, Roy obviously underestimated the intrigues of these high-ranking demons. When Roy suggested that the loss of troops was too great and was not conducive to the next move, Sellon immediately made a decision and called for help nearby!
If they were to wait for Ignatis to replenish their troops from Castlevania, Sellon's troops would have to stop and wait for a longer period of time. However, in order to maintain this action of grabbing heads and souls, Sellon He actually set his sights on Riska's troops. Although Sellon's troops are still some distance away from Riska's troops, compared to Castlevania, the distance between the two is naturally much closer. .
Sellon planned to send manpower to deliver a message to Riska on the grounds that he encountered the main force of the elves and suffered too much loss, asking Riska to send some of his men to him!
Even Roy was shocked when he heard this saucy operation. Is this a desperate attempt to steal souls
Let’s not talk about whether the troops on Riska’s side have received priority supplies from Ignatis. Even if they have priority supplies, Sellon’s move can immediately make Riska’s advantage disappear.
No wonder Sellon believed it after a little provocation by me before. Such things often happen between high-ranking demons...
In fact, if you think about it, the demons have a backstage as big as the abyss world as their backing. Troops can be summoned from the abyss in a steady stream, but what about other races? They can only obtain corresponding military strength through normal reproduction, cultivation, and training. It can be said that the gap with the demons is not even a little bit, but under such circumstances, the world has not been completely occupied and destroyed by the demons. Maybe It was due to the serious internal friction between these leading high-ranking demons.
After realizing this, Roy immediately understood that he could not be a messenger like this!
He had originally thought about going to Riska's place and making it up when he came back to make the matter of Riska and Ignatis teaming up becoming "real", but now he found that the three of them were like this. After the internal fighting, Roy knew that he must not get involved.
Sellon can ask people to ask for reinforcements, but what if Riska doesn't want to harm his own interests and doesn't want to give reinforcements
It's okay if he doesn't give it. What he fears most is that Riska will directly kill the person who sent the message, and then pretend that he didn't receive the message. When the confrontation happens in the future, he will directly blame the elves, saying that the person who sent the message was raped by the elves. What should I do if I am intercepted? If I go to deliver the letter, I might end up like this...
There is no doubt that in the abyss world, one must always use the greatest malice to speculate on the devil's thoughts...
Sellon originally planned to let Roy go, but Roy turned down the job on the grounds that he was just a low-level demon. Sellon thought about it and it made sense, so in the end he could only send an evil god. Deliver letters.
At that time, if Riska really sends reinforcements, it would be quite appropriate for a mid-level demon to drive them back. If it were Roy, the mid-level demons in the team might not listen to his orders. On the way...
After the evil god left, Roy carefully asked Sellon what to do if Riska didn't send reinforcements. In the end, Sellon still seemed confident.
Roy estimated that he actually had a way to quickly replenish his troops, which was to directly draw a magic circle and use the magic circle to perform a demon summoning ceremony. However, such a summons would consume a lot of Sellon's magic power. When there is no battle, Fortunately, magic power can be restored slowly, but during the march and fighting, if the magic power is gone, big problems may occur, so this may be a last resort method only used when the losses are really huge.
In any case, after repairing, Roy continued on the road with Sellon's army.
However, even Roy himself did not expect that, as if even God was helping him, his guess completely became true!
Two full weeks later, there was still no reinforcements sent from Riska, and even the evil god and demon who went to deliver the message also did not come back...
