Chapter 504 The Decisive Battle Begins [Second Update]
Raka is an ordinary red rock demon. Of course, this "red rock" refers to the fact that Raka's skin is red and as hard as rock, not that the red rock demon is an elemental creature like the lava stone man.
As a relatively low-level demon in the demon world, the strength of the red rock demon is generally not high, and Raka is no exception. Originally, Raka had been a glorious lackey under the great demon Count Valak, living a relatively peaceful life.
However, this relatively peaceful life was broken two months ago. Under the order of the demon king who was greater than Lord Valak, Lord Valak took Raka and hundreds of other demon warriors to respond to the call of Lord Demon.
After this, Raka saw what a big scene was.
It once counted on its fingers, trying to count how many demon nobles as great as Lord Valak responded to Lord Demon's call and participated in the war. But even if it counted its toes, it only counted 28 in the end - this is just the tip of the iceberg.
After seeing the 800,000 demons gathered by the Nanyuan Alliance and knowing that these 800,000 demons would unite to fight, Laka was full of excitement. In his mind, no enemy could survive such a huge force.
Unfortunately, the subsequent encounter quickly wore away Laka's excitement. When he followed his lord into the Lava Kingdom, he quickly felt the difference in the environment.
Although more than a month has passed and he has almost adapted, Laka still hates the Lava Kingdom where even the air seems to be burning.
In fact, as a red rock demon with some fire attributes, it is already good. This time, the Nanyuan Alliance did not specifically select demons with fire attributes like last time. Almost all the demon warriors that could be recruited were brought into the Lava Kingdom.
Even Laka, a red rock demon, could not stand the environment of the Lava Kingdom, so other demons can be imagined. But the environment is just like that. Although it is very hot, it just feels uncomfortable and does not threaten life.
But the enemy is different. As a demon from a small place, Laka had never seen a fire creature. Along the way, Laka was amazed and gradually developed an emotion called fear.
That time, just ten meters away from Laka, the originally flat ground suddenly turned into stone men and broke apart, revealing the lava river below. Laka saw countless demons wailing and falling into the lava river, dying; among them, there were even demons he knew.
After that, the number of enemies appeared more and more, especially after entering the volcanic area. Some clever Laka has been following closely behind his lord, Earl Valak, to counter the danger that may appear at any time.
It was only because of this cleverness that Laka did not become one of the 200,000 dead demon warriors. But now, it can't avoid the battle after all.
After experiencing the shock of more than a dozen volcanic eruptions and the scene of countless strange fire creatures suddenly appearing with lava flows, Laka and other demon warriors stepped into a huge basin together.
After marching through countless volcanoes for a month, Laka was quite excited when he first discovered that the troops had reached a basin. However, when he saw the fire creatures in the basin that seemed to be more numerous than his own from a distance on the hillside of a volcano, Laka was immediately gripped by fear.
This fear was not dissipated until more than 20 demon kings from the Nanyuan Alliance flew up together and released their powerful auras. Because correspondingly, there were only about ten demon king-level strongmen who exuded powerful auras among those fire creatures.
Unfortunately, the advantage of the Nanyuan Alliance in high-end combat power did not bring a good start to the war for a while. Because the troops of the Nanyuan Alliance gradually entered the basin from the volcanic area, at the beginning only a small number of demon troops faced a large number of fire creatures.
Illidan would naturally not give up this advantage brought by the terrain. Under his command, the fire creatures were not polite at all, and gave them a head-on blow when the demons of the Nanyuan Alliance just showed up.
In a sense, the Lava Kingdom is now in a situation similar to attacking the Nanyuan Alliance troops halfway across the river, so the advantage it brings is also very obvious.
Because of the terrain problem, the demons of the Nanyuan Alliance could not advance into the basin in full force for a while. As many troops as entered the basin would be eliminated by the fire creatures that blocked them in the valley.
After losing about 50,000 demon soldiers at a very fast speed, the demon kings of the Nanyuan Alliance made a decisive decision. Except for the great demon king Murphy who was proud of his status, the other twenty or so demon kings put down their status and personally took action to escort the vanguard of the Nanyuan Alliance.
There are only a dozen epic masters in the Lava Kingdom, including Illidan, and there is no way to form a situation of soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals with the Nanyuan Alliance. They can only watch the demon troops of the Nanyuan Alliance gradually pour into the basin under the protection of the demon kings.
Then, it was the Nanyuan Alliance that took the initiative to launch an attack.
Those demon kings were extremely unethical and joined the battle right from the start. They all had strong mental powers, enough to scan how many flame creatures there were in the basin. After realizing that the demon soldiers they brought had no advantage in numbers and strength, the demon kings simply lost their shame and led their troops to fight.
The tradition of the demon world is that soldiers fight soldiers and demon kings fight demon kings. As for a war where one side has no demon king and the other side has a demon king, it will not happen.
Generally speaking, if both sides of the war have demon king-level existences, even if there is a difference in number, ordinary soldiers and demon kings should fight separately. Now, the Nanyuan Alliance can be said to have destroyed the tradition, and the demon king actually participated in the killing of ordinary soldiers.
Of course, although this is not good in terms of face, the actual effect is extremely outstanding. Even if there is a slight advantage in number and the environment is convenient, the flame creatures are still crushed like withered and rotten in front of the demon king.
The Nanyuan Alliance's actions angered the epic masters of the Lava Kingdom, and they all rushed forward to fight with the demon kings.
However, there were only a dozen demon kings on the Lava Kingdom side. Even if they went to the enemy's demon kings one by one, the Nanyuan Alliance still had about ten demon kings who could not be stopped.
Fortunately, the Lava Kingdom was fighting on its own land, and there were endless flame creatures coming from the underground magma flow to participate in the battle at all times, including legendary flame creatures and fire demons.
Just like the last time the Fire Demon Emperor summoned a large number of small fire demons to fight against multiple demon kings, these legendary flame creatures and fire demons who came to help also gathered together to contain some demon kings on the Nanyuan Alliance side.
However, there were also many legendary demons on the Nanyuan Alliance side, and relying on legendary strength to fight against demon kings was not a feasible method when there was no absolute numerical advantage. Soon, the Lava Kingdom showed a state of weakness.
However, when his side was at a disadvantage, Illidan did not show any panic at all, and he did not even participate in the battle, but commanded in an orderly manner, just like the Great Demon Lord Murphy was doing.
Illidan could feel that after he had fought for about two months, the condition of the Fire Demon Emperor was gradually getting better. And under the catalysis and shock of this million-level war, the Fire Demon Emperor seemed to be about to wake up again.
This time, the awakened Fire Demon Emperor would not be just an incomplete mythical strongman like last time. Although it is possible that it will not recover to its peak period, it is definitely stronger than the strength shown last time.
Such strength, without restraint, is enough to turn the tide of the battle.
