Mount & Blade: Wind of War - Chapter 579
c566 Goal
Many demon generals were hinted by the demon marshal Nebiros to fight to the death and live and die with the castle, but some of them broke free from this suggestion and chose to retreat after it was impossible to do anything.
They chose to enter the gate of hell and return to hell.
Although the lower plane hell is short of material and life is extremely difficult, at least you can survive. If you die, everything will be over.
Constantly spend time and life.
The arcane vanguard of the Mage Kingdom, the dragon knights and behemoth swordsmen of the Styak Empire, the legendary archmage and four sword masters of the Merchant Alliance, and the legendary legion of the Lonely Mountain Castle, all took action, because every day of delay would be disadvantageous to the human race.
Moreover, with the gradual collapse of the third final line of defense, the Lord of Hell will inevitably appear. If it continues to hide and refuses to appear, then the millions of demons who have died in battle during this period, and even the sacrifices of the demon nobles, will be meaningless. Although this possibility is not absolutely impossible, the probability of this possibility is too small.
“According to my estimation, it should be hidden near the gate of hell, constantly using the rules of hell and the blood and soul of demons to restore its own strength.”
In an occupied demon castle, Rhodes pointed to the overhead map in a room and said this.
“Here, here, and here, these demon castles just form a dark magic circle node, and there are demon generals and a large number of demon soldiers stationed. We take down these demon castles. Whether it kills demons or demons kill us, the power of death will be collected to restore the weak power of the Lord of Hell to the world by force.”
“Is there any way to deal with it?” said the old Marshal Flanard.
This old man has begun to take banned drugs secretly. Although it can temporarily stimulate vitality and improve mental state, it must come at a price… Obviously, Flanard doesn’t care about this.
For a soldier, it is a kind of luck to die in such a war that is destined to be recorded in the history of future generations, especially to die after the war, which is what Flanard expects.
“The best way is to neutralize each node with a powerful light force, but it is obvious that we do not have such a powerful light force. If we use other methods, even if we use high-level magic bombing, the death of the demons in the node will be transported to the hidden place to restore the power of the Lord of Hell.”
“…The magic circle is not so easy to break, especially such a high-level dark magic circle. Even if we blow up all the demon castles on the map, it will still be unaffected at the level of the magic circle. The number of lives that die in the node will transmit the same amount of death energy.” A high-level mage from the Mage Kingdom also came out to stand up for Rhodes at this time.
When the two professionals made such an assertion, Marshal Flanard touched his chin and said nothing more.
“Then fight, it doesn’t matter whether you fight early or late. Fighting early can at least make it recover less.” Marshal Flanard said so.
“Yes, sir.” The knights around responded.
There is nothing much to say about the whole process of attacking the six demon castles that occupied the entire dark magic circle. Almost all the human resources, material resources and financial resources on the continent have gathered here. Just fill it with your life.
With the fall of demon castles one after another, the blood sacrifice of the dark magic circle has gradually been completed. So close to the gate of hell, the strength of the demons has increased, and the strength of the human race has been suppressed to a certain extent. The rules of hell have infiltrated the human world to a certain extent and have a hidden impact.
Finally, when the last demon castle of the third line of defense fell, the whole world was shaken.
The terrifying roar rose to the sky, and the air-injected light waves of the world forced the clouds above the sky to be pushed away.
The unprecedented light of fear has been so strong that it has covered up any light between heaven and earth. The boundless fear obscures the sight and hearing, fills the senses, and corrodes the soul.
It was under such a weather that the dragon demon, the lord of hell, suddenly appeared and attacked, just like the previous two times, plotting sneak attacks and doing his best once he attacked.
“How could it be that I couldn’t sense its existence? In such a short time, it’s not just absolute power, but its energy control ability has also been greatly improved?”
In the extraordinary era, the more powerful the leaders of various forces are, the stronger they tend to be. Therefore, on the day when the dark magic circle collapsed and the last demon castle fell:
Lazar, the Supreme Speaker of the Mage Country, Prince, the former Patriarch of the State Church and the Pope today, Marshal Franard, Rhodes and Arlos of Lonely Mountain, etc. They stood together, almost obviously waiting for the Lord of Hell to make a move.
Then the Lord of Hell, the Dragon Demon, made a move.
When pushed to the extreme, there was no way to retreat.
The void was torn apart, and thousands of demon shadows were ferocious and terrifying!
Within the influence range of the lower plane laws of the Gate of Hell, the Dragon Demon can tear the space to a certain extent and achieve the effect of teleportation.
In this situation, although Rhodes had the War Shackles in his hand, he did not dare to use them. He knew at a glance that with this degree of space tearing, the War Shackles would be destroyed once used. The Dragon Demon must be consumed to a certain extent before the War Shackles could work, otherwise it would be a self-destructive artifact.
In the bloody space that suddenly tore apart, a large number of demons and demon generals emerged. They exploded directly in the center of the army, rushing in all directions, and surrounded a group of human leaders, which instead formed a situation of superiority with more people against fewer people:
Moving to the core of the enemy army with its elite troops in an instant, what a terrifying decapitation ability! ?
However, this is just a side effect of the dragon demon’s offensive, which belongs to the category of casual use. From this, it can be seen how fierce and terrifying its real main attack is.
A claw stretched out, and the space it touched collapsed immediately.
However, the main target of this claw was not Rhodes. Fatis and Arlos, who stood on Rhodes’ left and right, were already tense to the extreme, but the target of the dragon demon’s attack was… the white-haired weak old man, the Holy Kingdom Pope Prince.
The sharp claws instantly tore through the defensive magic and penetrated into the chest of the thin old man. However, during the whole process, Princek did not even blink his eyes. Although he was too late, his eyes were still too calm, as if he had expected the dragon demon to attack him first.
“In the name of God, you are unforgivable!”
Accompanied by a strong white light, tentacles composed of light emerged from Princek’s chest and instantly wrapped around the dragon demon’s arm.
Under the fierce collision of the two mutually repulsive energies, the sharp blades and strong shock waves spread.
“What exactly is that?”
Rhodes’ strength is in the first sequence among the people present, so with his eyesight and spirit, he can observe clearly that what is flowing out of Pope Princek’s body at this moment is not the bright red blood that should flow out.
Even if he sheds golden blood, Rhodes would admit it, but it is not. In an instant, many memory fragments flashed in his mind, allowing him to vaguely grasp some unexpected truth.
“How could this happen!”
