Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard
Chapter 1230 The Attack of the Half Demon (1)
Seeing the half-devil warriors attacking the Cassano line in the distance, Ryan didn’t put them in his mind. Although the enemy has a large number of enemies, and the combat effectiveness of a single body is far more than humans, their discipline is very poor. In front of the phalanx of human warriors, it is not possible to take advantage. The retreat of the Cassano people in these days is not so much a defeat and a return, as it is to lure the enemy.
Due to the fact that the half-devil never opened the gap in Cassano’s defense on the frontal battlefield, their army has encountered many problems. According to the scout sent by Adela, it was found that many half-devil had left Cassano. , U-turned to advance in other directions.Originally, the country of dwarves is southwest of Cassano, and the attack direction of the half-devil army is naturally here. However, there are already more than tens of thousands of half-devils moving along the torrent river. If they do not change their direction, they may be there. It will appear in the territory of Mochizuki City in a few days, and maybe Clifford and the others will go to war with these half-devils as soon as they return home.
"Can you find the strongest in the enemy army?" Ryan asked the question he cared most.
This time it was Sophie who answered for him. The female thief who mastered a certain secret power of Cassano said all the information she had in this period of time.It has been a long time since the appearance of the devil, and there have been many battles with humans. The humans have also captured a few half devil captives. Fortunately, the underground dwarf Miro has been able to sort out a lot about The secret of the devil.
Before coming to this continent, Miró, the underground gnome, had just traveled through the Nether region. Even it was caught by the two-headed ogre lord in the territory of the half-devil Kuzer, and it almost became food and was eaten. When he saw the half-devil in front of him, he knew the opponent's information almost immediately.
The half-devil's world rule is that the weak eats the strong, so everyone is desperately becoming stronger, and the level of strength has become the only order in this chaotic world.This is very similar to a pack of wolves on the grassland. Other wolves will follow the wolf closely and obey any orders from it, even if it pays for it.
Of course, it would be wrong to think that these half-devils are very loyal. They are only loyal to power. Today Kuze has the strongest strength. He is the wolf. If someone else can defeat Kuze in a few days , Then a new wolf will be born, and the half-devil who had previously been loyal to Kuzer will turn to obey the orders of the new lord until the next victor appears.
Under this circumstance, those who are powerful will not easily provoke someone who is slightly worse than their own. After all, if the opponent fights back, he will still pay a high price, and it will be easier when the strength is lost. Lead to the emergence of other challengers to pick up the bargain.
As for the weak, they will obey the commands of the strong, because they will die if they don’t execute it. It’s better to follow the instructions. Even the mission of a lifetime of death is not without benefits. After all, they want to increase their strength as quickly as possible. , Wandering between life and death is the best choice, there is no one.
In short, the half-devil's world is completely different from human beings. This kind of world in which the strong make rules and the weak abide by the rules does not know how many years it lasts, but the half-devil can thrive to the present, and it naturally proves the existence of this law. Meaning.Under the weak and powerful for generations, half-devil people spend their entire lives. Food, rest, and fighting are everything to them. This also makes half-devil warriors a very terrifying existence. Their single-body combat power is far better than The last enemy of mankind was the orc. Even if the Cassano used the phalanx to fight, it still felt very difficult. If they were to fight alone, it would be difficult for a dozen human warriors to kill an ordinary half-devil warrior. .
According to Milo’s description, the half-devil army that attacked Cassano this time was the direct line of the half-devil lord Kuze in the deep abyss of the Nether region. This notorious half-devil was one of the seven kings of the alien world. , The powerful subordinate of the Demon Prince, it is said that he himself has become a legendary warrior many years ago, and his subordinates are a group of war madmen. The entire territory of Kuzer was shot down by these madmen. All races that refused to obey were destroyed, and what was left was either slaves or food.Now, this group of war fanatics have their eyes on the continent of Islar.
As for the strong men among the half-devils Ryan asked about, Vivian and others have seen several times with their own eyes. Those guys whose appearance is very different from ordinary half-devil warriors have better armor and natural combat effectiveness. Far more than ordinary half-devil warriors, and those other half-devil warriors similar to free mercenaries are very respectful to these guys, and even a little afraid. Obviously, the strong status of these half-devils is by no means ordinary.
According to Milo's identification, they should be the personal guards of the half-devil lord Kuze, which is the core of the half-devil army.The half-devil captain that Ryan and the others captured alive in Blackrock City was one of them, but that guy only obtained this status because of his blood relationship with Kuzer. He is usually responsible for logistics and other miscellaneous things, and it does not appear to appear. The Kuzer Guards in Cassano were as powerful as the soldiers.
These half-devil lord's guard soldiers only appeared three times when attacking Cassano, and each time there were no more than a thousand people. However, Cassano's defense line was breached three times and had to retreat to the back defense line.Of course, these half-devil guards are not good. Every time they are dispatched, they will be sniped by the popular shooter army and lose more than half.Calculating carefully, it is still the same as Adela said before: "The half-devil is very strong, but it doesn't take advantage of Cassano."
"We must solve them as soon as possible, because according to the information obtained by Miró's interrogation of the half-devil captain you captured alive, this time the half-devil dispatched a total of 200,000 elites, plus almost 7 to 800 thousand free mercenaries. The force exceeds one million. A half-devil warrior is enough to fight against more than 10 human soldiers, but fortunately their discipline is very poor, otherwise we humans will not be able to stop these guys' attacks even if there are tens of millions of troops." Adela finally Concluded.
"Millions? Is this number true?" Ryan frowned. This is a million half-devil, not a million undead. If it is an ordinary one million skeleton warrior, Ryan does not even have the desire to make a move.The last time Bailey led an army of undead forces to storm Cassano, he used nearly 10 million troops. Even so, he could only rely on the superiority of his troops to bring down Cassano without taking any advantage in combat effectiveness.
"Basically true." Sophie, who was in charge of intelligence collection, stood up and replied, "This time the half-devil's army has passed through an inexplicable teleportation magic circle, from the depths of the earth's core in the nether region to the underground of Blackrock City, but that teleportation magic The array can only teleport a few people at a time, and they will feel abnormally tired after teleportation. According to analysis, the teleportation magic array should consume the life energy of the teleported person to gain power."
"So the number of the half-devil army is not very large at the beginning, and their offensive below Blackrock City is not sharp, even after occupying Blackstone City for a few months before they start to attack outside?" Lane followed Su. Fei said what she said, and said with some regret: "Unfortunately, if I took a risk..."
"No, Master Ryan, your choice at the time was very correct." Sophie said uncharacteristically, "When you caught the half-devil captain, nearly 10,000 of their elites had come to Blackrock City, and they were basically recovered. In addition, many traps have been laid down by the Legion of Undead around that teleportation formation. The one that you and the Dwarf King discovered is one of them."
"No need to explain, I'm just talking casually." Ryan smiled and waved his hand to interrupt Sophie's words. He had already vaguely guessed that something was wrong at the time. Since the Legion of Undead tried all means to release the half-devil to this plane. , It is impossible for Ryan's adventure to be completely destroyed. Ryan does not need to find the teleportation magic circle. If he really goes down, I'm afraid he would have been hit by Nicholas' tricks.
"Okay, then I'll continue." Sophie turned the subject back: "The half-devil army stationed on the Cassano West Line now looks like about 200,000, but the elite troops only have less than 30,000, especially with that Kuze’s guard is the strongest. However, so far, no legendary powerhouse has been found. Oh, and the whole army of half-devil people is basically composed of fighters or thieves. They are good at free combat, and rarely The cooperation between the magicians is even less pitiful, but the magicians who have already shot are very strong, about the level of the magician."
"So the main force of the half-devil army is not actually with us?" Ryan asked strangely.
"According to the current intelligence, this is the case." Sophie said: "We even asked those three dragon friends to take action. They flew high-altitude reconnaissance, and indeed did not find more traces of the half-devil unless their concealment skills exceeded adulthood. Dragon..."
Before Sophie had finished speaking, she heard a sound of footsteps behind her, followed by a voice familiar to Ryan: "Hey, you guys are finally back."
Ryan turned his head and looked at him. At a glance, he saw that the three friends from Longdao had all walked over in human form. The headed one was a sloppy man with a beard on his chin and his appearance that looked about 60 years old. He was also talking to Ryan.After seeing Ryan, the scruffy dragon man said with excitement, "It's good if you come back, it's good to be back. When shall we go out to kill? There are some good guys among those half-devils, although Not comparable to the few of us..."
"Stop talking nonsense, there are a few guys who are as strong as ours. Unless we are in the form of a red dragon, we won't be able to tell the outcome even if we fight for three days and three nights." The dragon man dressed as a nobleman said impatiently.
