653 How can the empty mountain be free from strangeness, and the army should be careful to break through the dangerous road
(I don't know why QD is always untitled now.) But qqyd has a title. )
This scene was not only visible to Momiji and the kings, but also to the air troops in the sky, as well as to the strikers of the ground forces.
It's pretty funny. Their hundreds of thousands of troops lined up in a pretentious manner, but in the face of an empty mountain forest, what was there to fight in this battle?
"What's wrong with those arrogant and domineering tree people today, and they haven't seen any of them?"
"That's smart, isn't it? So many of our tribes are attacking together, if they don't run away quickly, will they stop and wait for death?"
"Then let's hurry up. If you are the first to rush into the Demon Emperor Palace, won't you be able to get the first credit?"
There is not only one person who thinks this way. Although many of the people who came here were afraid of death, in the face of an empty enemy formation, their desire to make a fortune began to seize the upper hand.
The Demon Realm Alliance has strict rewards and punishments. According to the order of stepping on the Sleeping Mountain, from the beginning to the end, the rewards are also from the highest to the bottom. As for attacking the Demon Emperor Palace, the rewards are multiplied.
The troops in front of the formation will take advantage. However, the order of the front and back was finally decided by repeated disputes among the various ethnic groups. Moreover, the controversy of the races is not to be the first, but to be ranked last. Because the first ones are cannon fodder sent to death.
Who would have thought that there would be no enemy at all on the enemy line? As a result, the forward troops would be somewhat unable to hold back. There was already a commotion in some of the motley formations, and some had already rushed up the hill and rushed into the woods of the Sleeping Evil Mountain.
"Order the whole army, and if anyone dares to act recklessly, they will all be killed. The Night King coldly sent a wisp of divine thought to Momiji. Momiji immediately used the herald in his hand to spread this order to the whole army.
This accident had long been expected by Gu Zhongyu. Therefore, the Night King's edict of "kill no more" is only aimed at "those who dare to act rashly". For those who have already rushed into the Sleeping Mountain, they will not take measures for the time being, because these people are needed to step on the trap.
Whether there is someone or no one on the enemy's defensive array can not be seen with their eyes, and Jin Dan's divine sense may not be able to sense anything unusual. A group of treemen stood in the form of trees, and as long as they didn't move, it was a forest.
Moreover, if they were to fight such an ambush battle, they would definitely be prepared to interfere with the means of the Jindan Monk's divine consciousness.
Before Momiji issued the military order, at least a thousand miscellaneous troops as the vanguard had already rushed into the Sleeping Evil Mountain. They marched into the woods in groups of three or five, but nothing happened.
However, there were not many people who had the courage to continue to march alone into the depths of the Sleeping Evil Mountain, and most of them cautiously began to stay and watch.
The Night King looked at Gu Zhongyu. At this moment, he even had a thought about whether the Kinobe army had fled. Of course, he knew it was impossible. Rong Qianzi would never give up the Demon Emperor Palace.
"First clear the twenty miles of woods, take down the mountain in the northwest, and arrange the firescale beasts there. Gu Zhongyu gave his advice to the Night King briefly and concisely. Wu Yu didn't change a word at all, and passed it directly to Hongye and sent orders to the Quartet.
Gu Zhongyu was very cautious. Although it seems that Kinobe has no guards here at all, nor does it have any traps, it is likely that he is playing a trick to lure the enemy deeper.
Since the tree man relied on trees, his countermeasures were also very simple, remove all the trees, and occupy a mountain, and he would initially control the entrance to the mountain.
Receiving the order to "clean up", Momiji hesitated for a moment. Because there are still many of our own troops in the woods on the top of the mountain who have just entered the mountain without permission. If it is to be cleaned up, these people will be cleaned up as well.
However, it immediately occurred to her that these people were not ghost owls of her own kind, but a ragtag army from various small clans. Moreover, they entered the mountains without permission and violated military orders first. Executing them on the spot will not only not shake the morale of the army, but will form a huge deterrent.
Under her orders, the Crane Clan's flying army moved to the front of the formation in a herringbone formation, while the ghost owl army in the air moved backwards. Immediately after that, a bright rain of fire fell from the sky, and it was the fire killing immortal arrow shot by the Crane Clan's flying army.
Like a torrential rain, like a falling star, countless immortal killing arrows burned with flames that were still bright even under the scorching sun, and fell into the dense woods.
Hundreds of firescale beasts proboscis were also erected one by one. The red light of the beast cores in the bodies of these firescale beasts grew violently, revealing through their bodies, and even the flesh and blood on their bodies and the incomparably heavy scale armor seemed to have become transparent, and the blazing flames released from the beast cores in their bodies could be clearly seen.
"Boom!"
The red light on a firescale beast suddenly dimmed, and the top and bottom of its body suddenly became pitch black. But a hot fireball suddenly spat out from his nostrils, and the red flame illuminated the entire position red, turning it into a blood-stained land.
After the fireball was spit out, it grew sharply to the size of tens of zhang. But it was also thrown like a cannonball far into the air, cutting a long parabola, and crashing down the slopes of the Sleepy Mountain with the rain of fire from the Flying Army.
It's good that this thing doesn't fall to the ground, once it lands, the fiery red flames are surging like monstrous waves and reaching a height of dozens of zhang, and the entire radius of a hundred steps is all engulfed by red flames. Where the flames engulfed, whether it was the forest trees or all living beings, there was no time to burn, and they were directly turned into ashes.
Other firescale beasts also launched one after another, and the continuous fireball cannons turned the mountains and forests within a radius of dozens of miles into a sea of fire.
Not to mention the ragtag army that rushed to the front, and an ant in the mountains no longer exists. Suppose there are monks lurking, and there are no bones left under the Purple Mansion. Monk Jindan may still be able to resist it with mana for a while.
A quarter of an hour later, the slopes within twenty miles were devoid of vegetation, leaving only a pitch-black scorched earth, embers, and swirling black smoke.
The coalition forces did not rush forward in a hurry. An elite army of ghost owls flew up the hill first and laid out their formation. Then the army moved forward in order. About hundreds of elite men and horses were stationed at the top of the mountain, and a formation and three fire spirit beasts were arranged on the top of the mountain.
"Can you continue the march?" asked the Night King again.
Gu Zhongyou nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”
Kinobe's tactics can be said to be "difficult to know as yin". So far, because they haven't exposed any clues, even Gu Zhongyou, who has the "Qiankun Treasure Plate" in hand, doesn't know what they want to do. In this case, his strategy is to "stay still like a mountain".
Advance step by step, steady and steady, step by step fortification, immovable like a mountain. He placed three firescale beasts on the top of that mountain, and the coverage of the fireball cannon immediately increased dramatically, and it could immediately penetrate into the top of the mountain within forty or fifty miles of the Sleeping Evil Mountain.
His follow-up troops could advance another twenty miles. Then continue a rain of artillery bombardment and arrows, and forcibly open up a scorched earth road in the sleeping evil mountain covered by Lin Mang, and then continue to occupy the mountains one by one in front until they reach the Demon Emperor Palace.
In this way, no matter how many tricks there are, there is almost no way to counterattack except to attack the mountains they occupy in the face of the fire of the firescale beasts and the flying army. It is equivalent to responding to all changes with the same!
An hour had passed, and the first mountain they had occupied had become an impregnable fortress under the occupation of thousands of demon cultivators and more than a dozen firescale beasts. At this time, Momiji passed down the military order, and the follow-up troops went up the mountain and advanced towards the second hill ahead.
Even if it was completely within the range of his own firepower, Gu Zhongyou did not advocate a light enemy, but only divided about 10,000 troops into the Sleeping Evil Mountain, preparing to concoct the second mountain in the same way. And the main force behind hundreds of thousands of troops is still standing still.
Some of the troops behind the palace have already begun to build the barracks. According to Gu Zhongyou's calculations, if everything goes smoothly like this, it will take at least nearly a month to reach the Demon Emperor Palace. They had to prepare for a protracted battle that could last for months.
But it was at this time that the mutation happened.
The demon cultivators guarding the first hill first saw a strange sight, that is, countless columns of water gushing out of the ground like hot springs. But these fountains are not hot, nor do they have any lethal power. It seems to be just ordinary glacial meltwater, but I don't know how it came to gush out of the ground of this mountain.
But what happened next stunned everyone. The entire huge mountain, which is tens of feet high, is constantly gushing water, and the whole mountain dissolves like water-soaked soil. The legs and feet of the crowd fell into the mud.
What's even more terrifying is that the entire mountain turned into a pool of flowing mud, collapsing down like a giant beast and devouring the advancing Demon Realm Alliance!
