Chapter 286 The Fight for the Throne
Be careful when you come, race against time when you return.
The players who had completed the intelligence investigation felt as if they were returning home at this moment, and quickly returned to Tomb City.
The many monsters gathered in the ruins make players extremely excited and can't wait to blast them into the sky.
Once the action is successful, the crisis will be immediately alleviated.
It had been cleaned up twice before, making the return journey very smooth, with only a few monsters encountered during the process.
Players are too lazy to deal with these low-level monsters.
After successfully returning to Tomb City, the closed weapons depot was opened and two nuclear bombs were taken out.
Previously, nuclear bombs were snatched by the Awakened and detonated in different gray fog areas, resulting in a large number of casualties.
Players received invitations to hunt down these scum awakeners and successfully obtained several nuclear warheads.
These warheads were not destroyed, but were sent to Tomb City to prepare for dealing with high-level demons at critical moments.
Among the previously formulated plans, there was the option of using nuclear bombs to detonate the warheads when encountering an invincible monster.
Although detonating a nuclear bomb in a gray fog area will lead to catastrophic consequences, specific situations must be distinguished.
Tomb City has been bombed, and the crystal walls of the two realms have merged closely, forming a stable passage connecting the underworld.
Detonating the nuclear bomb at this time will not affect the passage, but will only cause damage to the monsters.
The cost of nuclear bombs is not cheap, and it is not cost-effective to deal with ordinary monsters, but hunting the devil is worth the money.
If there are enough of them, they can even be used against the devil.
No one knows the specific effect, but it is also the best way to achieve it.
When there is a war, using nuclear bombs to launch an attack will become an inevitable choice.
A group of players were selected. They used storage equipment to carry nuclear bombs and returned to the underworld along the original path.
When they returned to the abandoned city, they found that more and more monsters gathered here, and the total number was probably over one million.
Densely packed monsters cover the wilderness outside the city, making it airtight.
Relying on the threat of level and mental power, the players crowded into the city and headed to the trading market where they had stayed before.
When they arrived at the scene, they discovered that there were tens of thousands of high-level demon generals, and the terrifying pressure made the players' scalps numb.
An attack on the base would be a terrible disaster.
The high-level monsters are demon generals, subordinates under the control of the demon king who have received the call to war and arrived.
Such a large-scale gathering proved that the general attack was about to begin, but no information had been received before.
Once the enemy's plan succeeds, the base will inevitably suffer heavy losses and will most likely be uprooted.
Tang Zhen practiced magic and accidentally killed the conceited demon king, which was equivalent to destroying the demon's plan.
During the exploration of the underworld, we unexpectedly discovered the gathering place of the demon army, which was also a big surprise.
What needs to be done now is to bury the nuclear bomb and send these monsters to the sky.
Demons are cunning and deceitful, and if you try to detonate a bomb in front of them, it will definitely arouse suspicion and attack.
So many high-level monsters are enough to tear the players participating in the action into pieces in a short period of time.
The detonation operation must be secretive and cannot be discovered by these monsters, otherwise all previous efforts may be wasted.
The players found a location, which was a collapsed building, and used their bodies to form a human wall.
Cover several players and start digging inside the building, preparing to place and activate the warhead.
The monsters nearby would cast their gaze over from time to time, with alertness and curiosity in their eyes.
The nuclear bomb was successfully taken out, and when the detonation procedure was being set, many demons suddenly made a noise.
Several flying demon generals returned and announced the death of the demon king, surprising the demon generals present.
This news cannot be concealed and will be leaked sooner or later, which is why players are racing against time.
I thought that upon receiving the news of the Demon King's death, the demon army would collapse in chaos, but this was not the case.
The powerful demon general immediately jumped out to fight for power and wanted to obtain the identity of the demon king.
If you want to become a demon king, you must not only have strong strength, but also need to be recognized by many demon generals.
Immediately afterwards, a ceremony was held to communicate with the devil and swear allegiance.
With the approval of the Demon God, you can obtain the qualifications of the Demon King, and thus have more powerful power means.
For low-level monsters, it will have a stronger deterrent effect and can freely drive monsters to act as cannon fodder.
The body size will also grow, becoming stronger and taller, and can intimidate the heroes with its strength alone.
After the death of the Demon King, a new Demon King will be born among the Demon Generals. Whoever can intimidate the heroes will be able to stand out in this competition.
Now that countless demon generals are gathering together, it can be said to be the best opportunity. How can this group of ambitious demon generals miss the opportunity?
It can be said that every demon general is a traitor, and each one wants to replace the demon king.
But not every demon general is qualified to become a demon king. First, he needs to be recognized by many demon generals and win the challenge.
Only the truly strong can persist until the last moment.
However, in a short period of time, the demons began to divide into camps, and supporters continued to gather around the powerful demon general.
There are also many demon generals who go around to win over supporters and use coercion and inducement to take turns.
These monsters use all means to achieve their goals, and some even fight on the spot.
The players watched indifferently, did not participate, and even threatened those who tried to get closer.
The players are powerful and the demonic energy they release is quite pure. They are said to belong to the nobles among demons.
The demon generals who came from humble backgrounds were all ashamed of themselves and did not dare to approach the players at all.
Some demons with noble bloodlines had the courage to come and talk to them, but the players didn't give them any face at all.
The rejected demon generals all had cold eyes, obviously they had already held grudges.
Once the opportunity is found, revenge will definitely be launched.
Regarding this situation, the players sneered, with a trace of pity flashing in their eyes.
This group of stupid guys are fighting hard for the throne, but they know that everything is in vain.
It won't take long for this battle to end, and all the demons and monsters will be sent directly to heaven.
I thought that by refusing to participate in the competition, I would be able to stay out of it, but I didn't expect that something unexpected would happen.
A demon general who was driven away soon brought a large group of accomplices, surrounding the players.
It was obvious from the look that he was preparing to cause trouble.
The nuclear bomb is being set up at the moment, and the players have not evacuated in time. If an unexpected situation occurs, it is likely to cause the plan to fail.
"These damn bastards..."
Some players cursed angrily and stood up to stop the demon generals from approaching.
"Stay away from here, otherwise I will treat it as your deliberate provocation."
Other players expressed their opinions at the right time, acted as if they were irritated, and seemed to take action if they disagreed.
The leader, a senior demon general, looked at a group of players coldly with a suspicious expression on his face.
"Your identity is very suspicious. Not only do you come from the enemy area, but you also pass by the place where the Demon King fell.
But you didn't take the initiative to inform us about such a big event.
And why is your aura so strange? I have never seen it after following the Demon King for many years. ”
When the demon general said this, blood flashed in his eyes, and his murderous intent broke out without concealment.
"Tell me, are you the enemy in disguise?"
The demon generals who followed quickly gathered around, obviously preparing to take action.
"This bunch of bastards are taking advantage of the large number of people to bully the small number of people. They obviously want to gain power over us."
The player responsible for leading the team said to everyone in a cold voice, with a hint of depression in his anger.
Seeing that the plan was about to be completed, they encountered such an accident, and the possibility of a smooth evacuation was extremely slim.
But no matter what, this nuclear bomb must be detonated. At worst, they will die together with these monsters.
But in an instant, the team leader made up his mind and ordered the nuclear bomb to be detonated directly.
"It takes three minutes..."
The operator responded, perhaps because he encountered some difficulties.
"Three minutes, I'll fight for it for you!"
After the leader finished speaking, he drew out his sharp sword.
"Brothers, kill me!"
