Chapter 858: Battle for Advancement
Vaguely, Wang Chu felt something was wrong.
According to the information, the star-swallowing beast is very ferocious and powerful. However, it is such a ferocious and powerful beast that Wang Zhu subdued it with his three-inch tongue. Obviously, this is a bit unnatural and logical.
Wang Zhu thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why, so he didn't bother to think about it.
Wang Zhu didn't have time to think about it, because Zhao Yong had collected supplies and was ready to go.
Wang Zhu wanted to see how the Eight Generals were fighting, and also wanted to see how the war in this region differed from other planets.
Now, Wang Chu doesn't worry about the time issue, traveling through the machine in time can ensure that when he goes back, it's time to leave.
The army is in motion.
When the army of demons from the White Turban Army City set off, Wang Zhu was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Outside the White Turban Army City, there is an army of demons that stretches out into the sky. The entire wasteland is occupied by the army of demons, like a moving carpet. As far as the eye can see, there are armors shining with metallic luster, and there are many swords and guns. It was cold and murderous.
When Wang Zhu asked General Zhao, he realized that there were actually half a million demons in this army.
In addition to the demon warriors, there is also a supply army composed of humans.
In the hell space, there is no shortage of food. The so-called supplies are carts of arrowhead armor and various engineering equipment.
Wang Zhu walked in the front, surrounded by Zhao Yong and a group of ghost kings, and behind him was the murderous army of half a million demons.
Compared with General Zhao, who is at the ghost king level, Wang Chu's body is extremely small, but now that he has a star-swallowing beast, sitting on top of the star-swallowing beast's huge head, Wang Chu feels like a high-ranking king. Get a bird's-eye view of everything around you.
Xu Xianxian was much more low-key. She was on a sedan chair carried by two people, surrounded by a heavily armed demon army. She didn't lift the curtain to take a look at Wang Zhu in front of her.
What surprised Wang Zhu was that the army of 500,000 demons was just the beginning, passing through ghost towns non-stop along the way, and the army continued to grow. Soon, the army of 500,000 demons reached 2 million. The army of demons has formed a sea of demons, looking out across the endless wasteland, it is incomparably magnificent.
"Do you need so many troops?" Wang Zhu asked Zhao Yong beside him.
"The more the better."
"How to drive these demons to fight then?" Wang Zhu was a little curious.
"We follow the military system of a different space, and our White Turban Army City has basically advanced to the level of ghost kings. At present, there are more than 300 ghost kings in the White Turban Army, and there are more than 500 ghost kings who have surrendered, commanding millions of demon troops. It's not a problem..."
"More than seven hundred ghost kings?" Wang Zhu's eyes widened.
"Yes, every time there is a war, a batch of ghost kings will be born. At most, more than 20 ghost kings will be born at once."
"Damn, look at the situation, it won't be long before we can form an army of ghost kings."
"Yes, but the Ghost King's casualties were not small."
"The ghost king also suffered casualties?" Wang Zhu was taken aback.
"Our enemy is the Demon King."
"Is that the kind of giant?"
"Yes, the devil king is very powerful, and the ghost king is also vulnerable to them. There is a devil king in the battlefield we are rushing to now..."
General Zhao's words reminded Wang Zhu that when he was fighting the demon king, he was as powerful as the eight generals, and he was also vulnerable to the demon king.
"By the way, since you are the devil king, why do you need an army of demons to fight?" Wang Zhu was a little puzzled. In theory, the number of demons is meaningless in a battle with a demon king.
"The devil also has an army. In addition, we must support war with war."
"Support war with war?"
"Yes, only by fighting can the demons have a chance to advance to the ghost king. Take a look, sir, those demons are all excited."
Wang Zhu glanced at the demon army behind him.
really!
The eyes of the demons were full of fierce fighting intent, it seemed that they were looking forward to the next battle.
"Why are they looking forward to fighting?" Wang Zhu asked.
"Where there is battle, there is death. Only when there is death can the corpse of a demon be devoured."
"Oh... I understand, when a demon soldier is a fighter, or kills an enemy, he will become food for other demons to advance."
"Yes, this is the most direct reward."
"Will they kill their comrades secretly?" Wang Zhu was a little worried.
"Once it is discovered or reported, it is a dead end. Under normal circumstances, as long as you fight bravely, you don't have to worry about not having food to advance. Therefore, demons will not take the risk of killing their comrades around them to advance. Moreover, eating demon corpses is better than killing them." Dead comrades are easy to get, they are not stupid."
"Yes, got it."
Wang Zhu nodded his head, with a deeply appreciative expression on his face.
While Wang Zhu was chatting with General Zhao, the scouts in front sent back information, saying that there was an enemy ghost city twenty miles ahead.
Immediately, General Zhao arranged for Guicheng to surrender, but Guicheng did not surrender, but killed the demon who persuaded him to surrender.
Zhao Yong decided to raze the ghost town to the ground.
In order to observe the battle in the hell space at close range, Wang Zhu decided to approach the ghost town with the army.
The distance of twenty miles is not far, and soon, the demon army rushed to the outside of the city.
This is a small ghost town.
There are no traces of human and demon activities outside the ghost city. Looking at the city wall from a distance, you can see the shadows of people on the city wall and the weapons shining with cold light.
It's clear that Ghost Town is ready for battle.
The battle started almost immediately.
Without any strategy, two million demons rushed towards the ghost city like a tide, and when they reached the city wall, they were a round of sharp arrows covering the sky and the sun. When the rain of arrows fell on the city, the demon army had already swept to the city wall. Down.
A round of arrow rain was also shot on the city wall, but that arrow rain was insignificant in the face of an army of two million demons.
The two million demon army flooded the ghost city like a torrent of steel.
Wang Zhu saw that after the demons boarded the city wall, the few resisters were like a small wave, instantly submerged by the huge waves...
...
"Roar!"
Just when Wang Zhu was shocked by the magnificent battle scene in front of him, suddenly, there was an earth-shattering roar in the ghost city, and then, a burly and strong ghost king rushed out from the city wall,
In the ghost king's hand was a huge mace, with just one swipe of the mace, dozens of demons would be swept into the sky immediately, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Facing the ghost king, the demons are no match at all.
Soon, there was a bloody road behind the ghost king.
However, what surprised Wang Zhu was that the demons did not back down in the face of the mighty ghost king, and rushed towards the ghost king without fear of death.
Facing the army of demons like moths to a flame, the speed of the ghost king's charge became slower and slower, as if he was stuck in a quagmire.
There are too many demons. They besieged the ghost king from all directions. At the beginning, the ghost king made a bloody path. After that, he was already unable to move an inch, because the densely packed demons were like iron barrels, surrounding him to death. dead……
...
"what……"
Just when Wang Zhu was watching with great interest, suddenly, a strong demon leaped up in the air, opened its mouth wide, and bit the ghost king fearlessly. , was bitten on the neck by the demon, the ghost king let out a scream, and suddenly shook his head, the demon was thrown away, but a large piece of flesh had already been bitten in his bloody mouth.
An astonishing scene appeared. After the demon devoured the piece of meat in his mouth, his body suddenly swelled, standing out from the densely packed demons like a chicken, extraordinarily majestic and upright.
"Has he advanced to the Ghost King?" Wang Zhu was extremely surprised.
"Yes, many of these demons who are infinitely close to the level of the ghost king, once they eat a bite of the ghost king's meat, it is equivalent to eating tens of thousands of demon flesh, so they immediately advance..."
"I see!"
At this moment, Wang Zhu completely understood why the demon would besiege the ghost king without fear of death.
The reason is simple, in order to advance.
The bloody neck of the ghost king seemed to have created a stormy sea on the calm lake. The demons who were originally fearless of death suddenly became crazy, rushing towards the ghost king even more desperately. Some demons didn't even use their weapons at all. Bite it with sharp teeth.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and heroes are hard to beat with many enemies. Although the ghost king is also invincible, but facing the inexhaustible army of demons like moths to a flame, the safe space around him is getting bigger and bigger. The smaller he got, the heavier the mace in his hand.
"what……"
There was another shrill scream, and the ghost king's arm was bitten off by a demon.
"Ahhh..."
Losing one arm, he frantically swiped the mace in his hand. However, he was seriously injured and his physical strength had declined. He could no longer sweep out a large space with a light sweep like in the beginning.
The screams and howls are intertwined, like reciting the chapters of hell, which is creepy.
In the air, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The demon that devoured the ghost king's neck at the beginning had been watching from the side after he was promoted. When he found that the ghost king was already weak in battle, he saw the timing and rushed over, biting the bloody neck of the ghost king again.
After the newly promoted ghost king bit a piece of meat, he didn't want to fight, and immediately ran away.
The violent ghost king was killing wildly, and the demon corpses around him were already piled up like a mountain. Wang Zhu, who was several miles away, could smell a strong smell of blood.
What surprised Wang Chu was that there were no demons devouring the corpses on the ground, and they were all attacking the ghost king desperately.
Obviously, the flesh on the ghost king's body is more attractive than the demon corpse on the ground.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Zhu stared at the newly promoted ghost king, and he found that this ghost king had been waiting around for an opportunity.
Obviously, he is the main force against the ghost king!
Sure enough, when the ghost king was dying, the newly promoted ghost king who was lurking at the side made another attack. This time, he still attacked the ghost king's neck.
"what!"
The newly promoted ghost king accurately bit the bloody neck of the ghost king again, but this time he didn't run away immediately, but hugged the ghost king's body tightly, biting the ghost king's neck fiercely with his big mouth , In just a few breaths, the thick neck of the ghost king has been devoured, and the blood shoots several meters in the air...
