This is not the first time Lid and Alaya have gone deep into the territory of the demons.
Before, these two people would come to the Demon Race every month to have a fight, and the surrounding Demon Race knew this pair of Jiangyang thieves. Demons with a little wisdom will choose to avoid the bad luck of these two scourges at the end of the month, and those with insufficient IQ or stubborn heads will stay and try their depths. As a result, most of them will lose their lives.
But what Alaya killed before were basically idle demons. They fend for themselves in this land or occupy the mountains as kings. When attacking a city on human territory, you will return to your lair after wandering around at most. Generally speaking, it is not a big threat to human beings. Many demon leaders who dominate one side will even be beaten to death by adventurers. The material is also carried away, just like prey.
But what is really scary about the demons is the powerful high-level demons at the top, and the demon army under their command and prohibition. The demon army integrates all kinds of demons together, and maximizes the role of each demon. There is no civil strife, fearless of death, and a large number. It is a nightmare existence on the battlefield.
For example, three years ago, the team of adventurers who had been famous for a long time and had conquered many demons in the eighth and ninth realms entered the realm of the demons too deeply due to a command error. A foreign country. According to the information sent back from the front line, four people died in the mouths of the low-level demons [man-eating ants]. A man-eating ant is only as big as a fingernail, and a strong adult can trample seven or eight to death with one foot, but a colony of 80 million man-eating ants is under the unified control of the queen, even if it is a master of nine or more It can only be submerged in the waves, gnawed so that there are not even bones left.
After officially entering the demon territory, Lide became more certain of the danger of this battle.
The land of the Demon Race has not changed from before, and even the marks made on the trees when I and Alaya came here are still clearly visible. But the surrounding visibility is not high, and the faint mist is lingering here, and the low-level demons that were very common in the mountains and fields can't be found now. There was no wind, the leaves were motionless, the footsteps of a hundred men could be clearly heard, and the silence soon enveloped the army of a hundred men.
The leader of this hundred-man army was named Bedimore, a young man of twenty-four years old. He didn't follow Fang Shisan from Tianxing City, but Fang Shisan was dug out from the local army in Yuxi City. Bedimo's own strength is not strong, and her ability to form troops is also limited, but she wins because she has a bright personality, a clear mind, dares to make judgments at critical moments, and can lead the army to effectively execute her formation, so usually the vanguard will Leave it to him to direct.
"Is the city lord alright? The army is currently on its way according to Fang Shisan's formation, and has not escaped the protection of Yuxi City. The fog has little effect on us. But the city lord is not in the army. If you feel uncomfortable If so, please tell the officer as soon as possible.”
Bedimore said to Lid who was walking side by side.
Lid certainly didn't feel any problems, and the fog wouldn't affect him at all. But after thinking about it, he still replied:
"Except for a little headache, it's not a big deal. I am the lord of Yuxi City, so I can still receive some protection. It doesn't matter."
Bedimore nodded, and said in a tone of admiration:
"As expected of the city lord."
Lide smiled slightly, and when he turned his head, he silently began to sense the movements of the demons around him. With his current strength, in his eyes, the low-level demons no longer have the word to hide. As long as they get close to a certain distance, even if they can't see it with eyes, he can directly perceive the opponent's position. But so far, apart from this weird mist, there is no sign of any demon around.
It means that the demons around here have been mobilized together, and they are just living in a certain place, waiting for the order to attack from above.
Alaya does not have Lide's strength, so she dare not carry a single bit of it. She presses her hand on the hilt of the sword all the time, never leaves Lide's side, looks around with a pair of beautiful eyes, and fights wits with enemies that do not exist yet. Yong.
The army encountered nothing on the first day.
When eating in the evening, Lide sat on the ground in the army formation, without being pretentious, and simply ate in a pot with the soldiers.
Bedimore sat beside him, deeply moved. He didn't know it at this time, but after he fell asleep, Lide got up, started a small stove secretly by himself, and ate half a dozen spiced jerky brought by Alaya.
Before going to bed, Bedimore specially kept part of the army on vigil, taking turns to rest, and everything was in order.
Lide only slept for six hours that night, which was far from his usual sleep of more than ten hours a day. The reason for the lack of sleep was not nervousness and vigilance, but the uneven ground, which made him unable to sleep. Although she slept soundly on Alaya's lap after midnight, but because she didn't sleep long enough, she still yawned in the morning.
The next day, the army found nothing again.
Qian Teng, who was not far behind, also sent a message, saying that although they sent troops to investigate the surrounding area as much as possible, they still found nothing. Not only low-level demons such as goblins and horned rabbits, but even those elite demons with four, five, six, seven or eight levels are missing, leaving only empty territories. It was as if the duty director of the Family Planning Office, the Purple Potato Monster, snapped his fingers, and all the demons who were seriously suspected of being overborn disappeared from the world.
A lot of precious materials collected by these demons were also found in the territory of these demons. Qian Teng asked the army to pick some important ones to take with him.
That night, even Bedimore couldn't help muttering while eating:
"It's strange, he used to look like a cannibal in wars, why is he so cowardly this time?"
If it were an ordinary army, if they hadn't seen the enemy for such a long time, they would be more or less slack. But the hundreds of people still maintained a high degree of vigilance, and Bedimo also organized soldiers to patrol the surroundings every day, preferring to move forward slowly, rather than take the risk of being cut off.
After walking for five days, the army of Yuxi City met the frontline demon army.
It was a chance encounter. The person who explored the road at the front saw a strange face wrinkled like bark when he pushed aside a bush. He immediately shouted wcnmd to embolden himself, and stabbed him with his sword in panic. The forehead of Barkface. The green juice splashed, and the wooden man let out a mournful howl, causing waves of wind and waves in the forest.
Two of the three explorers left behind, and the remaining one hurried to the rear to report the news to Bedimore.
The confrontation with the demons has begun.
