Chapter 463 The Devil's Greed
The blood elves didn't have to wait long. After the demon kings personally took turns to suppress their soldiers to prevent riots from happening again, the demon army's marching speed increased greatly. It didn't take long for Yu Fei to use Illidan's vision to observe the demon army, because they had entered the sensing range of the Sunwell.
Even if there was a mutiny during the march, the demon kings still chose to let the demon nobles' troops take the lead. In the eyes of the demon kings, the troops loyal to them are naturally much more important than those demon nobles who usually don't obey orders. It is best for the demon nobles to take the position of vanguards but cannon fodder.
And this is why the demon nobles usually choose to escape after responding to the call. But this time, it was the four demon kings around who worked together, and the demon nobles had no choice but to obey the order. Although they knew that taking the lead was a tough job, they had to accept it.
But relatively speaking, the pressure on the demon nobles was not very great. Although it is said that there are many blood elves on the Blood Mountain now, and their strength is not weak, no demon knows the true strength of the blood elves now.
In the eyes of the demons, the blood elves are just a small tribe, with a total of more than 10,000 people. Although it seems that something has happened and the strength has increased greatly, even heroes like the Great Demon King Piccolo died on the Blood Mountain, the size of the tribe is limited.
This time, the four demon kings united to send out an army of 100,000, and almost all demons felt that it was an exaggeration. Even the four demon kings, the reason why they united was not because they were afraid of the blood elves, but because none of the four demon kings closest to the abandoned land wanted others to benefit, so they had to unite and fight.
Compared with the demon kings who all knew that the blood elves had somehow gathered together and became strong because of the changes on the Blood Mountain; although those demon nobles also knew some hearsay news, they were obviously not detailed enough.
In their impression, the blood elves are still the small tribe at the bottom of the demon world. Some of the demon nobles who participated in the battle originally had blood elves among their subordinates. They were very disdainful of this race with a relatively weak body and weak strength.
The demon nobles were filled with the atmosphere of looking down on the blood elves, which made the gaps between the teams seem to be eliminated for a while.
However, the arrogance of the demon nobles soon made them pay the price.
To be honest, from what Illidan observed after infiltrating the demon army, Yu Fei no longer looked down on these demon noble troops, which were numerous but actually scattered. The only ones that Yu Fei really regarded as great enemies were the four demon kings and the direct troops led by them.
It can't be blamed on Yu Fei for underestimating the enemy. In fact, the demon nobles themselves had greatly reduced their combat effectiveness after the mutiny, and they were still arrogant. It was too easy to defeat them.
The blood elf troops had already lined up at the foot of the bloody mountain to wait for battle. Unlike the last Bloody Mountain Battle, Yu Fei did not choose to rely on the Bloody Mountain's geographical advantages to defend the entire army. The main force of this first battle is the Bloody Knights, and the wasteland at the foot of the mountain can better exert the power of the cavalry's orderly charge.
The demons are not fools. When they approached the Bloody Mountain, they found something wrong. From a distance, the blood elves who lined up at the foot of the Bloody Mountain and wanted to fight the demon army alone, how come their number is much larger than they imagined?
The demon king flying in the air saw this very clearly. Yu Fei did not hide his strength first and then exert his strength after the war. Facing 100,000 demons, he wished that the number of blood elves would double again. He really didn't have the mind to do such an ambush.
What's more, in ordinary wars, the method of showing weakness to the enemy and hiding part of the army may work, but now there are four epic demon kings in the demon army. Under the encouragement of mental power, it is really difficult to hide the strength in such a situation where there is no favorable terrain to hide and no large-scale concealment spells.
After Yu Fei openly displayed the existing blood elves' troops, the demons became suspicious.
According to the statistics of the demons, the blood elves in the entire demon world are at most over 10,000, and many of them have been sniped by nearby demon forces during this period. Even if some of the blood elves who were originally hiding came to the Blood Mountain, they would not exceed 15,000.
After all, the demon world is the world of the demon race, and there is still a certainty about the number of blood elves. And it is this kind of confidence that makes the demons who discovered the blood elf troops under the Blood Mountain feel like they have seen a ghost.
The number of those blood elves. It must be more than 20,000, right? Just a big look, the demon nobles in front made a judgment. The demon king floating in the air looked even worse and had uncontrollable greed.
After a rough scan with mental power, the four demon kings found that the number of blood elves was actually over 30,000.
In just over a month, the number of blood elves has tripled! If they said that the original blood elves gave birth to this, no fool would believe it. After thinking about it, the four demon kings finally pointed their spearheads at the changes before the Blood Mountain.
The Sunwell, which was transformed from Yu Fei's soul, has been shooting a faint beam of light into the sky without stopping. Although it is not as conspicuous as when it just appeared, it is still eye-catching in the near distance. This Sunwell, which can be seen at a glance as extraordinary, is the source of greed in the eyes of the four demon kings.
The blood elves have been living in the demon world for a long time, but there has never been any change and they have always been at the bottom of the demon world. After the huge light radiated from the Bloody Mountain, there was an astonishing change. No one believes that this has nothing to do with the thing on the mountain that is shooting out the empty beam of light.
Seeing the blood elf troops that suddenly doubled in number, the four demon kings not only did not feel any fear, but instead all became greedy for the Sunwell.
Although it is not known what kind of powerful divine power the Sunwell possesses, judging from the change in the number of blood elves, it is enough to make the demon kings covet it if it can quickly increase the number of demons under its command to the point where it triples in one month.
In fact, Yu Fei didn't want to be so high-profile. The last time Demon King Piccolo attacked, he fixed his sights on the Sunwell, which was always spewing out light. After that, Yu Fei also tried to stop himself from spraying light. However, the light beam emitted by the Sunwell is just like a person's hair growing. It is an instinct and it is really difficult to change.
And after some research, Yu Fei also discovered that the power of the blood elves is actually closely related to the light beams emitted from the Sunwell - especially the blood elf magicians.
Blood elf magicians who have mastered chaos spellcasting are much stronger than ordinary magicians. Although he cannot control the properties of the magic he casts, Chaos spell casting is more than superior to conventional spell casting methods in terms of mana consumption and spell casting speed.
But of course nothing in the world is perfect. Blood Elf Magicians have the advantage of Chaos Spellcasting, but naturally they also have some limitations.
This limitation is not reflected in the attributes, but stems from the inherent characteristics of the local blood elves.
The original blood elves also had many magicians, and only a few blood elves found other ways. The source of all blood elf magicians' spell-casting power is the so-called clan treasure, the Sun Stone.
Now the Sun Stone is occupied by Yu Fei's soul and transformed into the Sun Well; the original blood elf magicians have also been transformed and standardized, becoming the main force of the new blood elf clan. But this "tradition" that the magical power of blood elves comes from the Sunstone has continued.
To put it bluntly, neither the original Blood Elf Mage with the Sunstone nor the current Blood Elf Mage with the Sunwell can leave its sphere of influence. Well, it doesn't mean that you can't leave, it's just that after leaving its range of influence, your spellcasting ability will be weakened and lost.
