Chapter 240. The forces of the Abyssal Demons
The troops in full gear immediately advanced.
But this time, instead of evacuating, he continued to march along the ancient passage towards the cave dungeon at a constant speed.
Although they had been in the gloomy cold ancient passage for nearly 12 hours, the soldiers did not complain in the slightest, and still maintained their high morale, keeping up with the Svadian heavy cavalry in front of them, and marched forward quickly.
There are still 6 hours to go from the makeshift camp where they are to the cave where the dungeon is located.
This is the time for the cavalry to gallop on horseback.
On foot, multiplied by three times, it takes 18 hours.
In other words, from the ruins of the temple at the bottom of the mountain to the cave dungeon discovered by Kant, even if there is a road paved with stone slabs almost entirely, which can support a rapid march, the time spent on foot is a full 24 hours, which is a whole day, and the journey is extremely long!
It can almost be compared to the distance from the sentry oasis to the solid stone pass.
After all, the Narun Desert is a cruel environment.
The midday heat made it impossible to go out, and the bitter cold of the night made it impossible to move forward.
In addition, the sand layer is soft, which indirectly delays the speed of the march, so from the sentry oasis to the solid stone pass, even if it takes 3 days and 4 nights to ride a horse, even if it is to catch up, it takes about 3 days.
Kant rode the horse in front, and his face was very grim.
Worries about the journey are secondary.
Mostly hellish demons.
As he was about to enter the area where the cave dungeon was located, he could arrange for his troops to rest for the time being.
But the next attack on the hell demon requires a strict battle plan.
After all, Kant and his troops have never had any real communication with such mythical creatures, not even the hellish demons of this world.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
Kant: None of them knew the methods and styles of the demons of hell.
How can victory be assured?
The enemy encountered before, the high-level gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom, can be used as super-heavy human rapid reaction infantry, although the name is a little awkward, but it can still be treated according to the conventional combat method, even if it is to arrange tactics, it can be thought about with an enhanced version of the human being, and make targeted arrangements.
Demonized creatures are even simpler, whether it's a fake or shoddy version, or a common species, or a terrifying and ferocious species, it's just a matter of treating it as a beast enhancement version and still using conventional combat methods to solve it.
It's just that the demons of hell are different.
The 6-meter-tall dark red body seemed to imply the flames of hell, and the huge chest also had countless scars on it, forming a war badge representing honor.
As it roared, a sulfur-scented wind was surging.
The power of terror spreads.
Even after thousands of years of sealing, he has been weakened to the extreme, but he still has this power, which is completely in line with the demon image obtained from film and television literature materials in Kant's previous life.
A demon of hell that is so terrifying that it is difficult for ordinary people to describe!
Come on now.
Kant's heart was still beating fast.
The heart is pumping blood throughout the body, and hormones are being secreted at a rapid pace.
Conventional combat cannot fight against the demons of hell.
This was his thought, and he turned his head to look behind him, pursed his lips, his face was resolute, and the morale of the Rhodok infantry and Ravenston archers was high, and a slight sigh rose in his heart.
He didn't know if it was right or wrong for him to lead his team to the cave dungeon to attack the demon of hell.
But now that you have made up your mind.
Then Kant no longer regrets it, because regret is useless!
"Only with all your might!"
Kant murmured softly.
In the dimly lit passage, only 2 torches were lit in front and back.
The troops were marching, and the soldiers walked out of the neat queue, and the sound of clanging echoed through the passage.
Under the leadership of Lord Kant, no one was afraid.
It is also glorious to die on the battlefield.
After nearly 30 hours of trekking, resting for a while, and defeating the fierce onslaught of several demonic creatures, they finally reached the location of the cave.
Shimmer moss and fluorescent mushrooms bring a gauzy glow.
The dungeon looms.
The troops, however, halted their advance and took up their positions in the ancient passages, where they were to take a short break as the campfires were lit and the food and water were heated, so as not to be overworked from the long journey and cause the battle to collapse.
It is a fact that any army that has traveled a long distance will hide itself for a short rest before launching a surprise attack or attack, and only after relieving the fatigue of the long journey will it have enough physical strength to cope with the next battle.
And there have been many similar achievements in history.
But it wasn't a victory.
After a long journey, the troops were completely depleted of their physical strength because they were directly engaged in battle, which led to the collapse of the front, the collapse of the troops, and the loss of the vital battle.
Examples abound.
Kant would not have had such low-level errors.
At the same time, Bandak, who is experienced and is a veteran captain, would not make such a mistake either.
Warm hot porridge was drunk into the stomachs of the soldiers.
In addition, the soft and crispy bread slices baked, and the salty and fragrant air-dried meat are all good helpers to replenish physical strength.
And, of course, date candy cubes.
After eating and drinking, many soldiers all stood up and exercised a little, and their bodies, which were originally colder in the passage, gradually warmed up, and after half an hour of digestion and rest, they were all ready, quietly waiting for Kant to give orders.
Bandak held the siege crossbow and looked at Kant with the same solemn face.
"Let's go."
Kant spoke in a deep voice, and rode his horse forward.
The troops behind him immediately followed, and the sound of footsteps and horseshoes hitting the ground continued, and with the faint light that grew brighter and brighter, they officially entered the cave and came to the flat square paved with stone slabs, and a thousand kilometers ahead, there was a majestic dungeon, and the city wall that had been destroyed by the demons of hell.
The underground river next to it is in the shape of an arc, which is estimated from the direction of its initial flow to the west, and then flows to the southwest, just bypassing the adjacent square and deep into the rock of the cave.
Kant had not yet looked closely.
Only now has it been discovered that there is still an ancient passage next to the underground river.
It's as if this cave and dungeon are just nodes of underground rivers and passages, and there are deeper areas or more dungeons to the south of the deepest part of the mountains.
But Kant's brow was also slightly furrowed.
To the south of the Sanwaya Mountains lies the Lion Principality.
According to the "Aaron" village on the west side of the Jianshi Pass, it has been straight west for a day and a night, just to the range of the Eastern Commandery, if it really continues to advance southward, for example, now, according to the infantry marching on the flat passage for a day and a night, it is estimated that it can touch the range of the Eastern Commandery, and even cross the Sanwaya Mountains and reach the Eastern Commander directly, or it is completely possible.
It was not the time to think about this, Kant waved his hand, and all the troops immediately formed a formation, advancing through the gap in the city wall, and only slowly stopped after approaching the range of 800 meters.
Because of the gap, the 6-meter-tall Hell Demon reappeared.
"Humans."
It slowly spoke, and from its bull-nosed nostrils, it erupted a spark of anger, and the tyrannical madness spread throughout the cave, as well as its suppressed anger: "You led the troops here, it really makes me curious, you want..." ”
"Huhuhu-" The wind appeared in an instant, and the strong smell of sulfur spread throughout the cave, and the many infantry and cavalry who were still lining up suddenly made a commotion, and some even took half a step or two back.
But it was this retreating pace that the whole formation was completely out of order, and it looked chaotic.
"Damn it!"
Kant gritted his teeth, and he was just as frightened as he faced the sulfur-smelling wind.
It was a sudden fear from the bottom of my heart!
Even the Swadia heavy cavalry, as well as the armored war horses under Kant's crotch, were still standing, and after experiencing this gust of wind that contained fear, they actually let out a slight neigh, and their limbs swayed, and they almost wanted to collapse to the ground, obviously as if they had been frightened by a terrifying beast!
It was only a roar that bordered on rebuke, but it set off a violent wind, which frightened many soldiers into fear, and even the war horses were paralyzed and unsteady on all fours, shaking and letting out a mournful roar.
But in an instant.
It seemed to feel that the morale of the troops was instantly reduced, and the golden lion with a red background fluttered directly in the wind.
[Enemy Intimidation] unfolds immediately.
The flag is automatic in the absence of wind, like the sound of a hunting in a strong wind.
And the golden lion on the banner also began to shake with great force, just like the color of the flag of the golden lion on a red background that communicated the linen robes of many soldiers, and the paint of the golden lion on a red background on the shield, the red became more and more bright red, and the golden one became more and more dazzling.
"Whew-"
The golden lion on a red background is fluttering!
The soldiers who had retreated due to timidity regained their senses, and the armored war horses, whose hooves were paralyzed by fright, were equally excited, and they all stood up and returned to their previous appearance.
"Oh, it was so fast, and it recovered under my coercion."
The demon of hell chuckled under his breath.
But in the tyranny and madness in his eyes, there was also a little jealousy: "But even if you recover, what can you do, for thousands of years, my scattered power has already eroded a large number of seals, and the entire dungeon has already become my demon hatchery, now, let you humans, see the demon army that once fought with the gods!" ”
"Whew-"
A roar suddenly appeared, and behind the 10-meter-high city wall, dark red figures slowly appeared, and they walked directly out of the ruins of the city wall and came to the square outside to line up.
"The forces of the demons of hell?"
Kant's eyes were filled with horror, but he was slightly stunned when he looked at those troops.
He looked at those troops and felt a little familiar, and quickly brought them into a certain game work in his previous life, and couldn't help but whisper: "Demon boy, long-horned demon, that huge hell demon, is it... Abyssal Demon?! ”
