Chapter 485: Underground Movement
The Nanyuan Alliance, which is composed of many demon cities in the southern part of Wuyuan Land, will gather its forces to send troops to the Lava Kingdom. It has become the hottest topic in the demon world for a while, and countless demon kings are paying attention to the progress of the matter through various channels.
Of course, there are also some sensitive or ill-intentioned demons who secretly released the declaration that Murphy will compete with Dia for the position of the first demon king after the great demon king Murphy initiated the establishment of the Nanyuan Alliance.
In fact, in the final analysis, the title of the so-called first demon king is actually not good. But among the demons who have basically no entertainment methods and advocate killing and fighting, only this false name can attract the interest of more demons. This rumor has a large market.
However, Dia, the main task in the rumor, held a meeting with his men as soon as the Flame Demon Emperor woke up, but he didn't care about the rumor at all and didn't say anything. This disappointed many demons who wanted to watch the excitement.
Of course, few demons know that Dia is actually extremely concerned about the actions of the Nanyuan Alliance. For the demons who experienced that war, the existence of the Flame Demon Emperor was a shadow. Now that the new powerful demon king Murphy has taken the lead, it is naturally something that the demon king Dia is happy to see.
In this way, it can be said that under the attention of the public, nearly 30 demon cities in the Nanyuan Alliance have assembled a very large army and marched towards the lava kingdom of magma and fire.
There are more than 30 demon kings in this huge army. After all, not every demon city has only one demon king. Especially for people like the demon king Murphy, there are more than one demon king under his command.
In fact, only places close to the edge of the abyss land such as the Abandoned Land will have vacant demon cities, resulting in one demon king occupying two demon cities sometimes. The truly powerful demon kings disdain to occupy multiple demon cities. Their power is often concentrated together.
The dispatch of more than 30 demon kings and a large number of troops will naturally cause many cities in the Nanyuan Alliance to fall into a state of power emptiness. However, the leader of the Nanyuan Alliance, the Great Demon King Murphy, had already issued a declaration that anyone who dared to attack the Nanyuan Alliance at this time would be an enemy of the entire Nanyuan Alliance. Once this statement was released, the demon kings of the Nanyuan Alliance naturally felt at ease.
The troops gathered by nearly thirty demon cities reached about 300,000, and this was without recruiting the demon nobles. Although Illidan was lurking in the Lava Kingdom, Yu Fei would not ignore the situation in the Wuyuan Land, and naturally heard about this action.
The big move of the Nanyuan Alliance made Yu Fei a little stunned. Even if the strength of the blood elves has been greatly enhanced now, facing this 300,000-strong army with more than 30 demon kings sitting in, there is only one way to force it - the result is to be wiped out.
However, now that the target of this huge army is the Lava Kingdom, Yu Fei will naturally not worry, but will not worry about it. No! That can't be said. Illidan is now lurking in the Lava Kingdom as a fire demon, which is also related to this war.
Yu Fei's mind moved. Maybe, Illidan can take this opportunity to infiltrate the core level of the Lava Kingdom? With this thought, Yu Fei notified Illidan, who was still digesting the flame energy in the underground magma, and asked him to act according to the situation.
Let's not talk about Yu Fei's little tricks. The protagonist now is the Nanyuan Alliance. Three hundred thousand troops are not a joke. Even if thirty demons are lined up in a row, one demon occupies a length of one meter, and the marching team will be a full ten kilometers.
Although most demons are not very large, they are much larger than humans. Not to mention that some very large demons occupy a larger marching area. In this way, the marching route of the Nanyuan Alliance's troops is very long.
Fortunately, these demon troops are the direct troops of the demon kings in the demon cities of the Nanyuan Alliance, and there are no conscripted demon noble troops. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of chaos it will be.
All of the demon cities that were located in the southern part of the Wuyuan Land and joined the Nanyuan Alliance could not have been without conflicts. However, the Great Demon King Murphy had already stated in advance that since they had united together, they should put aside their past grudges, unite as one, and not fight internally.
In addition, the demon kings at the top were all savvy, and they flew above their own city troops one by one, restraining their subordinates from fighting with friendly forces. For a while, the 300,000 demon troops showed a harmonious scene.
However, this harmonious and peaceful scene no longer existed after the troops entered the territory of the Lava Kingdom. Although the demon kings have tried their best to select demons with the ability to resist fire or who use fire energy themselves, it is still difficult for ordinary demon soldiers to adapt to the extreme environment of the Lava Kingdom.
Especially during the period after the awakening of the Flame Demon Emperor, the geological activities in the Lava Kingdom were extremely frequent, resulting in many lava rivers or lava caves with lava slowly bubbling on the ground, which made the march of the Nanyuan Alliance's large troops extremely difficult.
As a last resort, the demon kings could only cheer up, pay attention to the environment in the distance, and be ready to rescue some of their subordinates who were in danger. In fact, if it was not necessary, the demon kings of the South Abyss Alliance did not want to bring so many troops. Looking at the current situation, it is clear that the demons who are used to living in the Abyss Land will be extremely uncomfortable after entering the Lava Kingdom - this will affect their combat effectiveness.
But if these more than 30 demon kings were to form a team to go deep into the lava country to trouble the Flame Demon Emperor, they would not have the confidence.
When the Flame Demon Emperor attacked the Wuyuan Land, he relied not only on his own mythical strength. To put it bluntly, what can a mythical level do? The strength of a demon is limited after all.
In that war, the strength of the Lava Country was eye-catching. Those Flame Demons and flame creatures seemed to be of low level, but the explosive fire attribute energy cultivated from the lava-filled country could cause huge damage.
It was precisely because they knew that the strength of the Lava Country was more due to its residents rather than the mythical Flame Demon Emperor that the demon kings of the Nanyuan Alliance agreed to form an alliance and send troops to the Lava Country after the Great Demon King Murphy discovered that the power of the Flame Demons and flame creatures in the Lava Country had been weakened.
Who wouldn't guess that the Flame Demon Emperor himself was weak? Waking up a thousand years in advance would definitely have this negative state. The overall strength of the Lava Kingdom has been weakened, giving the Nanyuan Alliance the confidence to invade the Lava Kingdom and cause trouble for the Flame Demon Emperor.
Therefore, it is necessary to lead a large number of troops to march. Soldier against soldier, king against king, the battle in the demon world is generally like this.
Because most of the demon soldiers are not very strong, the Nanyuan Alliance troops are not advancing fast. According to Illidan, who came out to investigate the situation after the Flame Demon's body advanced to the epic level, this huge army did not reach the lava lake after ten days.
However, in addition to the long march time making the demon soldiers a little irritable, under the care of more than 30 demon kings, the Nanyuan Alliance troops did not lose much due to the harsh environment. It's just that ten days have passed without encountering even one enemy, which makes every demon soldier and even the demon king a little confused.
Until this day.
Although there is no distinction between day and night in the demon world, the necessary rest demons will still be maintained. Even if the bodies of demons are relatively strong, ten days of marching in extreme environments also make a large number of demon soldiers feel tired. Therefore, after discussing this day, the demon kings finally issued an order to rest on the spot.
The place where the Nanyuan Alliance troops chose to rest was a rare large area without magma rivers or lava caves after they entered the demon world. Although the ground was still extremely hot, it was much better than other places they had walked through.
After receiving the order to rest, most of the demon soldiers instantly lay on the ground and fell asleep. Anyway, they hadn't seen the shadow of a fire demon or a flame creature for such a long time, so it was best to rest in this rare place with a better environment.
However, in Illidan's perception, these demons who were resting at ease had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.
Some mysterious figures were swimming under the ground where the Nanyuan Alliance troops were resting. Of course, there was no groundwater in the lava kingdom, and these figures were swimming in the magma.
Illidan quickly identified the identities of these figures-they were the first fire elves he saw after entering the lava kingdom again. Compared to the Balrog, the Flame Elves are not actually a kind of demon at all, but a completely flame creature.
Therefore, wandering in the magma is almost an instinct of the Flame Elves. Even the more powerful Flame Elves can blend themselves into the magma or other flame environments, making it difficult for people to find them.
The Flame Elves that now appear in Illidan's perception are all Flame Elves above the Sky Level that can blend into the magma. If Illidan is not actually a mythical strongman, and has been lingering in the underground magma for a long time, I am afraid that he will not be able to find these Flame Elves like those unaware demon kings.
These powerful and numerous Flame Elves appear underground, naturally not for sightseeing. To be honest, for them, magma is like air, and there is nothing to observe at all.
The powerful and numerous Flame Elves quietly swam under the ground where the Nanyuan Alliance troops rested, agitating their energy and controlling the magma underground.
Illidan instantly understood that these Flame Elves wanted to give the demon army a magma bath!
