Chapter 502 Notorious
Under the call for conscription issued by Illidan as the temporary ruler of the Lava Kingdom, many fire creatures immediately began to gather in tribes. Of course, this does not mean that Illidan can easily command the Lava Kingdom. The epic fire creatures in the call for conscription have made great efforts.
Although these fire creatures are not very convinced by Illidan, this guy who suddenly appeared, on the one hand, the Fire Emperor did appoint Illidan as the temporary ruler; on the other hand, Illidan has always shown a strong hatred for other demons, so they have cooperated with Illidan's various instructions.
However, although the conscription order has some effect, in the end, only about 600,000 fire creatures that have recovered some combat power and can participate in the war have been summoned. Even if the rest of the fire creatures responded to the call, they can only be cannon fodder, so they simply did not conscript.
With more than 600,000 troops in hand, Illidan immediately had some ideas. The key to this war is actually still the Fire Emperor. If the Firelord can wake up and join the battle before the decisive battle, there is still hope for a battle; otherwise, if not, these more than 600,000 troops are just delivering food to the South Abyss Alliance.
So what needs to be done now is to delay the marching speed of the South Abyss Alliance troops as much as possible to buy time for the Firelord. Illidan is still counting on getting news of the Heart of Darkness from the Firelord and consuming the overall strength of the demon world. One-sidedness is not what he wants to see.
So, the guerrilla warfare tactic was used by Illidan again. But this time is different from the last time. He no longer aims to kill the demon soldiers of the South Abyss Alliance to show his loyalty, but uses all kinds of tricks to hinder the advancement of the South Abyss Alliance troops, even if it does not cause much casualties.
It was also the last time that Illidan used the identity of Gosmo to make various harassment actions that made the demon kings of the South Abyss Alliance really crazy, so that this time they have become nervous and suspicious.
As long as Illidan's fire demon showed up, the demon kings flying in the air would send out a warning from afar, asking the troops to stop advancing to prevent them from falling into the trap of the lava kingdom again.
But after Illidan found that the demon kings of the South Abyss Alliance were somewhat morbidly vigilant, he only pretended to show up every time and did not make any ambush. Even so, because of the notoriety of the fire demon Gothmo, as long as he appeared, the South Abyss Alliance troops would stop suddenly.
However, after doing this many times, the demon kings gradually found that Illidan seemed to be just coming out to scare them and hinder their march. When Illidan appeared again with his fangs and claws but did not take any follow-up actions, the vigilant demon kings were too lazy to send out a warning.
However, these vigilant demon kings had never heard the story of the wolf coming. The next time Illidan appeared leisurely, the vigilant demon kings still just glanced lazily and waved their hands to indicate that everything was fine; but this time, something really happened.
The 800,000 demon troops marched in a line like a long winding snake. When Illidan appeared again but was no longer taken seriously, a commotion suddenly occurred at the waist of the long snake.
The demon troops, who were marching forward with great vigor, felt their feet suddenly shake. The demon veterans who participated in the last war in the team were shocked and wanted to issue a warning, but it was too late.
The rocky ground under the feet of the demon soldiers, which originally looked extremely solid, suddenly scattered piece by piece and turned into stone men with hands and feet emitting a burning breath, and fell into the lava river below and sank to the bottom.
The demon soldiers who were originally advancing on the suspended ground formed by these stone men, suddenly encountered this situation and could only fall into the lava river without warning. Even the few demon soldiers with wings who could fly without reaching the cloud level were already spotted by the ambushed stone men, and when they fell, they were dragged and fell into the lava river together.
It turned out that Illidan had summoned a creature called Lava Stone Man to turn its body into a road, blocking a flowing lava river, forming a huge living trap. The demon kings were flying in the air, paying attention to the movement in the distance, but they failed to find the trap that had been set up early.
The bodies of those Lava Stone Man are exactly the same as the rocks that can be seen everywhere in the Lava Kingdom. They are tangled together and are no different from the ground in other places. This is also because there are too many kinds of strange elemental creatures in the Lava Kingdom, which are not well known to demons in other areas; plus the last time the Nanyuan Alliance attacked, the Lava Stone Man tribe did not recover to join the battle, so the Nanyuan Alliance troops, which were already very vigilant, were once again tricked.
The demon kings of the Nanyuan Alliance thought that Illidan was just harassing them insignificantly, delaying the advance of their troops; but after they gradually relaxed, he did this again, causing the demon troops to lose more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers.
Although these 10,000 soldiers are nothing compared to the 800,000-strong army, they still make the demon kings worried again, and they think of the hateful fire demon Gosmo.
No, we still have to be more vigilant! When they think of the last war, because of that damn fire demon, 300,000 elite demon troops lost one-third before they actually fought with the lava kingdom, these demon kings became suspicious.
This time it is said to be an army of 800,000, but in fact, how can the private armies of those demon nobles compare to the real elites of each demon city? If the fire demon uses all the tricks of the last time, it is possible that one-third of the troops will be lost before the real battle.
As a result, when Illidan appeared again from afar, the Nanyuan Alliance troops did not dare to neglect and had to stop to check if there were any traps around.
After that, even if Illidan appeared several times in a row and there were no traps, the demon kings of the Nanyuan Alliance did not dare to relax. Even the great demon king Murphy personally went to the battlefield to constantly sense whether there was even a trace of life on the ground during the march, and beware of the various traps of the fire demon Gosmo.
However, although this can ensure that the demon troops will not suffer much loss, it greatly slows down the march. When the 800,000 troops of the Nanyuan Alliance marched for more than ten days and were still halfway to the volcanic area, they finally came to their senses.
This is definitely stalling time! The demon kings were so cunning that they immediately thought that the Fire Demon Emperor had just been awakened and encountered a war not long ago, and he must be recuperating now. That damned Fire Demon Gosmo is really a loyal lackey of the Fire Demon Emperor. He actually used his notoriety to play tricks on our Great South Abyss Alliance and delay the recovery of the Fire Demon Emperor!
There was a large-scale power outage two days ago, and the manuscript in the manuscript box happened to be gone, so I couldn’t update--
