Chapter 490: Infiltrating the Upper Echelons

Illidan, the incarnation of the Fire Demon, could not escape from the encirclement of the nine demon kings. Even with the help of the environment, he could not stir up the gradually solidified magma again, causing chaos and taking the opportunity to escape.

If a powerful demon who knows the fire elves very well observes carefully, he can find that the tens of thousands of fire elves who used the magma wave to attack this place before, although they retreated a few kilometers away, actually activated their own innate abilities to merge into the magma and sneak into this place.

When the nine demon kings surrounded him, Illidan, who had just used up the volcanic skills that he had acquired after his body of the Fire Demon was upgraded to the epic level, ordered the fire elves who had been hiding in the magma to cooperate with him to launch an attack.

The fire elves were all of low level. Even if they could use their innate abilities to hide in the magma or even control the magma to a limited extent, they could not cause damage to a strong man of the level of the demon king. The reason why the nine demon kings were unable to stop Illidan's escape in time was because Illidan used another skill of the Fire Demon - Soul Burning.

In the state of soul burning, skills cannot be used. In other words, these demon kings can't raise energy temporarily. For the demon kings with strong bodies, this will naturally not affect their combat effectiveness too much, but in this kind of encirclement, they can't catch up with the Fire Demons of the same level who are like fish in water in the flames with their bodies alone.

Illidan, who had escaped far away, looked back and saw that the nine demon kings who had escaped from the effect of soul burning were all flying towards him in a rage. It's a pity that as long as he escaped from the encirclement, Illidan would not be caught up by those demon kings even with this Fire Demon body that had just reached the epic level not long ago.

However, those fire elves who cooperated with Illidan's attack would suffer a lot of losses. They took the initiative to show up under the eyes of the demon king, and even if they had the ability to merge into the magma, they would be found out. But it's none of his business, anyway, he has successfully completed the task - Illidan thought in his heart.

Whose task is he completing? Of course it won't be Yu Fei's, Illidan is now in the form of a fire demon. The only one who can allocate him tens of thousands of fire elves to act, and the target is still the demon army of the South Abyss Alliance, is the Lava Kingdom.

That's right, because of the identity of this epic fire demon, Illidan has joined the Lava Kingdom, and even met the awakened Fire Demon Emperor, becoming a high-level official of the Lava Kingdom. This time, the task of attacking the demon army of the South Abyss Alliance was personally issued to Illidan by the Fire Demon Emperor - of course, in front of the creatures of the Lava Kingdom, Illidan's identity is Gosmo, a powerful fire demon.

Of course, Illidan also knows in his heart that his identity of Gosmo has not been fully recognized for the time being. After all, no one will be at ease with an epic fire demon who suddenly appeared without knowing the roots, even if he is the same fire demon as the Fire Demon Emperor.

Because of his identity, Illidan was sent out to perform this mission with a huge disparity in power. In a sense, this is also a token of Illidan's loyalty - if he can complete the mission with all his heart and kill a large number of demon soldiers of the Nanyuan Alliance, then the Fire Demon Emperor can be relieved and reuse him.

As for the loss of tens of thousands of fire elves, Illidan is now a fire demon king, so it doesn't matter if he loses some unimportant fire elves. Besides, about half of the tens of thousands of fire elves can still escape by relying on their innate abilities, not to mention that more than 20,000 demon soldiers were killed and injured on this trip.

After waiting for a while not far from where the Nanyuan Alliance troops gathered, Illidan really waited for some of the fire elves to return to the team. In the hands of the angry demon kings, although these fire elves are strong and weak, their escape is not based on combat power but luck.

Seeing that the Nanyuan Alliance troops set out again after the magma was completely solidified and no more fire elves escaped, Illidan chose to take the remaining more than 4,000 fire elves to the depths of the volcanic area. Although the Fire Demon Emperor, who almost represents the Lava Kingdom, can feel something in this volcanic group, as a newly surrendered Fire Demon King, it is better to report in person.

With various thoughts in his mind, Illidan and the Fire Elves rushed away

Although Illidan and the Fire Elves walked away in style, the demons of the Nanyuan Alliance were all worried. The nine demon kings who were responsible for surrounding Illidan showed a trace of shame on their faces, but soon calmed down.

At this point, the demon kings who originally asked to retreat no longer made a fuss. The oath made by the Great Demon Murphy before was fulfilled, and the demon kings unanimously agreed at that time. Now that they really met the enemy, no demon king wanted to break the previous agreement.

More importantly, although the damage caused by this volcanic eruption was not as great as the trap last time, the nature was completely different. The army of the Lava Kingdom has appeared naked in front of the Nanyuan Alliance, which is an obvious provocation.

Especially the epic Fire Demon King. To be honest, a fire demon of epic level can move freely in front of more than 30 demon kings of the same level, and kill more than 20,000 demon soldiers with his volcanic skills and escape unscathed. Doesn't this mean that the demon kings of Nanyuan Alliance are all trash?

Even if it was to maintain their face as demon kings, the high-ranking officials of the Nanyuan Alliance could not retreat just like that. If it was the Fire Demon Emperor who took action, it would be understandable for the demon troops of the Nanyuan Alliance to retreat when they saw that things were hopeless; if they retreated just because of some losses caused by a sneak attack by the Fire Demon King, the demon kings of the Nanyuan Alliance would probably never be able to raise their heads in the land of Wuyuan.

For these reasons, with only about 220,000 troops left, the demon kings and soldiers of the Nanyuan Alliance began to search for the troops of the Lava Kingdom in the volcanic area with more vigor than before.

In this case, the Lava Kingdom did not show courtesy to the troops of the Nanyuan Alliance. Sneak attacks like Illidan before were endless, and Illidan, who had gained initial trust, often appeared in front of the demon kings of the Nanyuan Alliance to stir up emotions.

However, given the tight defenses of the South Abyss Alliance, a new sneak attack cannot be as risky as Illidan's last attack. The damage caused to the South Abyss Alliance troops by the Lava Kingdom's actions will be much smaller.
