Chapter 585: Protracted War in the Abyss
It was no big deal for a demon lord to lose his territory. At most, he would be ridiculed for dozens or hundreds of years and become a laughing stock among the demigods of the same level.
But the fall of a demon lord and demigod is a huge matter, even if it is placed in the entire 138th layer of the abyss.
Especially when the blood prince and some demons escaped, the news spread like crazy and spread throughout the 138th floor of the abyss in a very short time.
The huge storm that was brewing was something that even Luo Yi had not expected.
But that’s all in the past!
At this time, Loy quickly carried out post-war statistics, treated the wounded and repaired the fortress.
Seriously speaking, the intensity of this battle is actually far less than the battle with the Blood Prince.
After all, in that battle, there were no war fortresses, no Holy Sun, no Mage Tower, and no so many legendary powerful people.
In that battle, it was the guards of Flower County who defended the honor with their lives.
And in this battle, apart from the two demigods, there is nothing else involved.
After the war, there was nothing much to say after much discussion.
After careful consideration, Loyi agreed to the requests of a large number of people, formed a legion, and launched an expedition into the abyss.
The third-generation king of land warfare, equipped with elite Royal Guards soldiers, and escorted by second-generation fighter jets.
Of course, Loyi also gave the Holy Light Legion nearly 5,000 people, equipped with heavy-duty troop transport vehicles, so that they could also fight for their own God.
In addition, the Demon Eye Alliance also organized a powerful mage army.
The three parties worked together and advanced rapidly with super high mobility, without any delay along the way. They killed those who could be killed, and drove them away directly if they could not.
As for the ultimate goal, it is the Demon Castle of the great demon lord Odoac.
There was no way. The gains from the last raid on the Vampire Castle were so astonishing, so astonishing that even Luo Yi couldn't remain calm and ignore it.
In addition, the great demon lord Odoac died at his hands, leaving the group leaderless, making it the perfect time to confiscate their property.
However, Luo Yi was still worried about safety issues, so this time he was protected by the King of the Demon Eye and brought nearly ten legendary strongmen with him.
If necessary, they can also set up a remote portal in the shortest time possible to allow Luo Yi to provide support.
Of course, the reason why Luo Yi dared to do this was because the King of Demon Eyes' near-orbit magic eye had completed the preliminary scan and constructed a complete map.
It should be said that this expedition to the abyss was well prepared, powerful, bold yet cautious, and the process was relatively smooth.
Although they passed through many dangerous areas, the army pushed through the mountains, built roads through the mountains, and built bridges over the rivers, and they pushed through all the way.
In the end, a great battle broke out in the Demon Castle. Some secondary demon lords tried to advance further, but they were defeated by the King of Demon Eyes and the Iron Torrent.
However, the harvest this time was not as exaggerated as that of the Vampire Castle.
The background of the Great Demon Lord Odoac is obviously not as good as that of the Blood Prince Caesar, and there are not as many rare treasures in the castle.
But even so, the King of Evil Eyes couldn't stop smiling, and even said that this was the biggest gain in his life.
However, what no one expected was that when the army set out on its return journey, it faced more and more wars.
It seemed that demons from all directions were converging here, and when they collided with the expeditionary force, the battle became more and more intense.
Under the scan of the near-orbit magic eye, it is visible to the naked eye that the number of demons in this area is increasing.
This situation made Luo Yi alert. He took action personally and captured a secondary demon lord. Only after interrogating him did he learn the details.
Although the blood prince Caesar escaped, he was not idle. He jumped around everywhere, connecting with demon lords from all over the place and spreading the theory of the threat to the human race.
In the past, wanting these demon lords to cooperate was simply a joke.
As it turns out, the few demon alliances in the history of the Abyss all ended in failure and civil strife.
After all, the enemy is strong and difficult to kill; but it is really convenient to plot against allies.
In the abyss, if you want to make the demons obey you, you need more powerful demons to suppress them.
For example, those demon kings who have unified the entire level and are titled "Lords of the Abyss".
They are comparable to true gods and can suppress everything with absolute brutality.
That is why Luo Yi never thought that they could unite again, but this time, the demon lords on the 138th floor of the abyss were very active.
Of course, a true anti-human alliance has not yet been formed, but the nearby demon lords are driving the demons in their own territories to gather here.
It was obvious that they didn't want Luo Yi to settle down, even if they had to use harassment tactics.
After confirming the news, the first thing Luo Yi did was to ask the expeditionary force to speed up and return to the war fortress.
At the same time, he expanded the war fortress based on its original foundation.
With the fortress as the core, six urn cities were built at the six corners outwards, and then connected in series with fortifications and trenches.
This also creates more room for maneuver for the fortress.
At the same time, he also sent more tanks and combat teams to clear the area around the fortress.
Luo Yi also stayed in the fortress at all times, kept in touch with the King of the Demon Eye, and raised the alert level, ready to attack and provide support at any time.
Fortunately, the expeditionary force is strong and has many powerful warriors. Unless a demigod takes action, they must gather enough demonic forces.
Otherwise, there is nothing we can do to them.
During this period of time, it was obvious that no demon lord was willing to be the first to show up.
Finally, after abandoning most of the baggage, the legion returned safely, entered the ancient castle, and was incorporated into the war sequence and prepared.
Soon after they returned, friction escalated!
Large numbers of demons began to attack the fortress's defenses. Although they were all scattered soldiers, there were occasionally one or two secondary demon lords mixed in, which could also pose a certain threat.
In November of the 317th year of the New God Calendar, Loy realized that the Abyss War had entered a stage of attrition and stalemate. He summoned all the soldiers and gave a speech on protracted warfare.
He made it clear that in the future, there would be no significant gains from wars, and there would be no need to fight outside the sequence of war fortresses.
All they have to do is to take the fortress as the core, hold on, and be firm until they gain a firm foothold and stand firm.
His speech calmed the soldiers' hearts and told them exactly what to do.
It was also from this day that the war entered a white-hot stage.
From the war fortress outwards, dozens or even hundreds of battles would break out almost every day.
Regardless of how intense it was, even a small-scale confrontation was a long test for all soldiers and legends.
One of Loyi and the King of Demon Eyes must be in charge of the Abyss Fortress, because even the Demon Lord sneaked over.
After being discovered, they did not want to fight anymore. They fought for a while and then ran away, not giving Luo Yi and the King of Evil Eyes any chance to kill them together.
For this reason, Luo Yi even had to ask people to send the government affairs of Xianhua to the Abyss for processing.
Of course, there are disadvantages and advantages.
For example, under high-intensity combat, soldiers grow extremely quickly.
Even if they are new recruits, as long as they survive for more than a month, they will become mature elite soldiers. They can carry magical weapons, accurately complete various combat orders, and have extremely strong will and fighting faith.
And the growth rate of those strong people is also incredibly fast.
Not to mention the legend, there is only one achievement, Silas, the King of Rage, but the fourth-level natural disaster has a lot of chances and numbers of breakthroughs.
As for later on, there will be even more second-level and extraordinary ones.
At first Luo Yi didn't feel anything, but later he realized that this was the benefit of the abyss where the rules were loose.
It not only helps you climb to the top, but also facilitates breakthroughs.
It is worth mentioning that Loy finally found a secret treasure from the abyss, the legendary Fountain of Youth, which made up for the loss of Oliveira's origin.
From then on, Oliveira had the opportunity to make further progress, which also removed a thorn in Roy's heart.
Then, under high pressure, the military industry development of Huahualing entered the fast lane.
The long-standing education policy has finally begun to show results, and a large number of intellectuals with magical powers have been filled into various links of the industry.
Coupled with the introduction of high-end talents, the manufacturing level of flower collars has reached the pinnacle of the entire Helka world.
The productivity brought by the cutting-edge factories in the Holy Dragon Demiplane is extremely impressive, and after a period of sedimentation, various projects have entered a stage of rapid explosion.
For example, the legendary lich His Majesty Cicero Griffith, who quietly created the "Mechanical Heart" project.
To put it simply, it is a weakened tower spirit that can be placed in tanks and fighter jets to help assist in operations.
For example, it can complete missile calculations, assist in aiming, provide danger warnings, and so on.
To put it bluntly, this is a super weakened version of AI, but it is achieved by magic.
The benefits it brings are simply unimaginable, and it even gives people the feeling that the weapon has been upgraded to a higher generation.
Coupled with optimizations in various aspects, the king of land warfare has moved towards the fourth generation, and the second-generation fighter jets that have not been used for long have leaped to the third generation.
Then there is the unlimited ammunition project, which has also made substantial progress.
With the addition of seventh-degree metal, refining magazines that can hold a large number of bullets is no longer a dream, but due to the rarity of space metal, it can only be used in a few projects.
The leap in weapon generations also requires the popularization of magic radar. Using the signals of the near-orbit magic eye to scan the enemy in advance and carry out beyond-visual-range strikes has become a major subsequent topic.
But what surprised Roy the most was Marius Gray's missile project.
The missile base inside the war fortress has begun testing medium-range missiles with a range of up to 300 kilometers.
The high-energy magic crystal provides kinetic energy, and the near-orbit magic eye performs real-time navigation and calibration. Although the accuracy needs to be improved,
But that is a long distance of 300 kilometers.
Even a demigod would be far behind. Perhaps if he reached the level of a true god, he could use his believers’ positioning to cast divine spells.
But for Luoyi, the 300-kilometer range is just the beginning.
What's more, Loy also specifically requested the production of cluster bombs, which have fifty combat warheads installed in the warhead. After the dispersed explosion, it can raze an area of five kilometers to the ground.
He was not satisfied with this and made many more requests to Sir Marius Grey.
Not to mention hypersonic flight, maneuvering and changing trajectory, and terminal acceleration.
In combination with the rules of this world, he also proposed that the rules must be offset; or directly distort the space, attack with dimensionality reduction, and so on.
If it happened to someone else, they would probably be overwhelmed by the heavy task, but for Marius Gray, this is trust!
Of course, if I can’t kill him, I’ll beat him to death!
This little old man who was not valued at all in the empire now owns the largest project team in Flower Territory.
Under one missile project, more than a dozen different research groups were formed.
Each research group has a leader and several to dozens of members. They conduct experiments with their eyes open and calculate with their eyes closed.
Needless to say, Luo Yi admired their practical attitude. Scientific research requires this kind of crazy dedication.
It can also be said that under the high pressure and practice of war, the magical technology of Flower Territory has begun to transcend the existing level and is rushing in a direction that even a group of mechanics find difficult to understand.
However, for Roy, he simply moved the familiar war weapons in his mind into reality.
In addition, Luo Yi began to look for ways to enhance his own strength, and the starting point had to be the secret sacred skills.
This time, the sacred skills delivered to him by the Demon Eye Alliance, the Church of the Sun God, and even the legendary masters under his command were already of the best quality.
Luo Yi accepted all the information and recorded them all into the Deep Blue database. Even if they were useless and not worth practicing, they were still excellent materials for Luo Yi.
It is possible that some part of it can benefit the existing holy skills, thereby optimizing and iterating them, making them stronger and stronger.
It can be said that the sacred skills that Luo Yi has cultivated have more or less jumped out of the original framework and become the form that best suits Luo Yi.
As for new sacred skills, Luo Yi was much more cautious. After all, he had already gathered so many of them, and he would not want them unless he really needed them.
After careful selection, he finally found two for himself.
The first one is from the collection of the King of Demon Eyes, the secret sacred skill [True Dragon Body], which uses dragon power to change the shape of muscles and fascia, so that mortals can have the terrifying power of a dragon.
At the same time, it can also possess the magic resistance of a real dragon, and can even achieve a certain degree of magic immunity.
This is tailor-made for all dragon knights, and its creator is also a famous dragon knight in history.
Luo Yi chose it to increase his absolute strength in addition to the control of [Muscle Overlord].
There is also a technique from the Church of the Sun God, which is a secret treasure of the ascetics. If it is practiced to the extreme, it can achieve the level of the Lord of Light descending to the world.
The name of this sacred skill is: [Incarnation of Light]
This sacred skill was also notoriously difficult. One did not even have to master it completely. As long as one or two points were achieved occasionally, one would be revered among the ascetics.
Luo Yi didn't understand it at all, and only gave an explanation after Deep Blue entered it.
To put it bluntly, this sacred skill is about elementalization!
It is to transform the whole body into elements through special means, so that when needed, it can have higher attack power and a more liberated form.
There are even effects such as immunity to poison and immunity to curse damage.
Now that you have become an elemental spirit, the poisons and curses against the human race will naturally have no effect.
What Luo Yi values are actually the last two points. At his level, he still has to be on guard in many cases.
Time passed in a protracted war, and in a blink of an eye it was February of the 318th year of the New Divine Calendar.
Originally, the attack of the demon lords that Roy was wary of did not happen. Well, it was really not easy to get these demon lords together.
However, the war situation in the Old Continent is once again in turmoil.
After nearly a year of accumulation, both the Empire and the Allied Forces seemed to be about to start the final frenzy.
