Do you want to use the poisonous fog in the cave to reduce my followers?
Demilo watched the steel monster crawl into the dark green cesspool. The buzzing roar seemed to urge him to come in quickly.
Do you want to come in?
This seemed to be beyond doubt - it was foolish to actively enter a tactical terrain set up by others, and there was no reason for him and the magician to fight. In addition, if he really had to enter the poisonous fog to fight, he would have to use some precious "soldiers".
The Lord God did not give any instructions to the Heroic Souls. In fact, the Heroic Souls were free except in times of war. But in order to accumulate merits enough to exchange for soul fragments, they would still take the initiative to patrol the territory and transport supplies even in the period of quiet development. For example, Demilo was dispatched in this round to transport supplies from the surrounding areas back to the main city.
Therefore, Demilo could either let these arrogant magicians go or just leave. He could do whatever he wanted.
That's why he was a little confused.
In the past thousand years, he had never encountered a moment that required him to make a decision. In times of war, he did not need to say much, as the Lord God had his own orders; in times of peace, he managed the main city step by step. When he encountered an enemy army, he would naturally weigh the possibility of victory and decide whether to fight or flee, and when he encountered an ordinary magician, he would naturally just step over him.
He had also encountered many magicians. They either happened to run into the marching road and were crushed to death by the Star Shepherds, or they fled at high speed. As long as they could survive the first wave of long-range attacks from the Legion, Demilo would not deliberately pursue them.
This situation is unprecedented.
He encountered a magician, but instead of crushing the magician to death, he lost many of his followers. The magician not only did not escape, but also roamed under his nose, but he could not crush them to death easily.
Although there is no evidence, Demilo believes that since the resource points in the cave are so clean, this group of magicians may not be able to escape responsibility.
Benefits, losses, fighting, leaving...all kinds of thoughts came one after another, but after all, there was no reference case, and in the end it was still DeMiluo who had to make the decision.
He has to follow his own will.
It was a cruel joke for a corpse without a heartbeat.
However, when Demilo looked back at the cave and did not choose to leave immediately, he had already made the decision.
Anger? Jealousy? Curiosity? Demilo, who didn't even have a soul fragment, didn't think he had the ability to produce these emotions, but the balance of his mind was indeed tilted towards those magicians.
If I have to give a reason, it should be the look in the eyes of the male magician just now, which placed a weight on the balanced scale that was enough to determine the outcome.
Although his appearance was completely different, his eyes looked very much like the man who killed DeMillo.
"The sacred stars connect us."
Demilo silently prayed in his heart, and the power of the stars poured into the bodies of the knowledge creatures along the chains of nothingness. The eight surviving viper dragons were immediately dyed dark blue, including Demilo's remaining mount.
They yawned lazily as if they had just woken up, and their bodies were covered in twisted blue. A second later, the snake and scorpion dragons had disappeared without a trace, and only eight dark blue double swordsmen were left in their place. They were fully armored without any gaps, and there were only azure pupils inside the cross helmets. There was also a scorpion tail behind them, but the scorpion tail did not have a stinger, but a blue rapier.
"Star Swordsman: Serpent Dragon Specialization"!
Since he had decided to fight, DeMiluo naturally would not be stingy with his "soldiers".
Although he had been commanding intellectual creatures before, they could not be considered soldiers but only followers.
Knowledge creatures are ultimately just monsters, and cannot be compared to magicians who can use tools. Even if the commander can control them as if they were his own arm, as tactical executors, knowledge creatures are far inferior to humans.
The power of the Heroic Soul Legion lies in the fact that the commander can transform the followers into more powerful "arms", retaining the combat power of the knowledge creatures themselves while giving them more powerful combat skills.
When followers become soldiers, they will undergo different transformations based on their physical characteristics. For example, a snake dragon with double pincers and a scorpion tail will transform into a double swordsman with a tail sword, which can attack three times at the same time. Ordinary magicians will be defeated by the three swords and six eyes as soon as they meet it.
Although the Star Swordsman is only a first-level soldier of the Star Hall, as long as it is given to the right intellectual creatures, it can still form a powerful combat force. Therefore, for heroes like Demilo, intellectual creatures and other followers are not important, what is important is the "soldiers" they carry.
The intellectual creatures in the virtual world are endless, but "soldiers" are not born from the virtual world, but from reality. For Xingtang, soldiers are the most important and rarest war resources. It doesn't matter how many followers die, but each unit of soldiers must be used carefully and saved as much as possible for city wars and national wars.
Until just now, Demilo thought that he only needed to sacrifice his followers to kill the three magicians, so he naturally didn't want to sacrifice his own soldiers. In fact, he didn't bring many soldiers with him. After all, he only came to the hinterland to transport resources. Now is a peaceful period, so theoretically he won't encounter any enemies. In this case, most of the soldiers have to stay in the main city and be managed by the city lord.
However, Xingtang recruited a group of soldiers in reality a few days ago. Since it was a pleasant surprise, the heroes were all given some as reserves, and Demilo was no exception.
It's a pity that the Thousand-Feathered Bird Dragons are gone, otherwise Demilo only needs to give them the second-level troop type "Star Shooter", and then use their own Thousand-Feathered Mutation to shoot the steel monster into a sieve in an instant.
However, the Serpent Star Swordsman alone is enough.
The Star Shepherd pointed lightly, and the Star Swordsmen rushed into the poisonous fog cave in an orderly manner, not afraid of the corrosion of the poisonous fog. After being given a military type, the Star Swordsmen will obtain "armor" that is almost a barrier. Unless a single damage can penetrate the armor, it will not cause any damage to the Star Swordsmen.
Even if the damage can penetrate the armor, it will only weaken the energy of the armor and will not really harm the Star Swordsman. The Star Swordsman has 3 layers of armor. Before the poisonous fog corrodes all the armor, these poisonous fogs that can corrode the bones and souls are nothing but fart gas that affects the vision of the Serpent Star Swordsman.
Demilo stood outside the cave, using the Star Swordsmen's perception to detect the enemy's direction, and then -
Buzz buzz buzz!
The steel monster recklessly rushed towards one of the Star Swordsmen, which was exactly what the Star Shepherd wanted.
Defend!
Facing the monster's attack, the Star Swordsman crossed his swords in a cross, taking a defensive stance, and directly blocked the evil blade with huge inertia!
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The three layers of armor exploded one by one, but the Star Swordsman still stood in place and blocked the steel monster!
Zheng——
Countless sword sounds rang out at the same time, and the other star swordsmen immediately attacked the magicians in the monster's body. Sword lights from all directions covered the sky like a fishing net!
"Why!?"
"Why...who are they!?"
The poisonous fog could not cover up the shocked voices of the magicians, which was also within Demilo's expectations. Just as he would not consume soldiers when crushing magicians, other heroic spirits would definitely only let their followers drive away these pests.
Just as no magician knows the secret of the Heroic Soul, naturally no magician has ever seen these monster soldiers who have been given arms.
As long as this shock can occupy the opponent's thinking space, it is a tactical victory. As long as the opponent hesitates for a moment, their soul will be torn into pieces in the next second...
However--
Buzz!
The steel monster roared again, and the monster's fangs and sharp blades smashed the armor-shattered Star Swordsman into two pieces! At the same time, the male magician seemed to have performed a miracle, adding a warm yellow barrier to the entire car. Although it was shattered by the Star Swordsman's sword net in the next second, it at least created a gap and successfully escaped the siege that was sure to kill him!
How many times can you perform this kind of protective miracle? Next time I will leave two Star Swordsmen as a follow-up, you won't have a second chance... Demilo quickly adjusted the battle plan in his mind and commanded the remaining seven Star Swordsmen to continue the siege.
As long as the other party makes a mistake, death will bite back.
The steel monster circled in the cave, and after accumulating damage many times, it finally seized the opportunity to crush a star swordsman to death.
As long as the other party makes a mistake once.
The steel monster drifted and rotated continuously, avoiding the double attack of the star swordsmen and killing two of them in the process.
if only……
When the last Star Swordsman was also killed by the Iron Monster, Demilo at the cave entrance slightly made way. After a few seconds, the Iron Monster roared out of the poisonous fog cave again, tearing the Star Swordsman's claws without any wear and tear, and the round limbs and wheels scratched the ground fiercely, leaving tooth-soft scratches!
The man was unharmed. As soon as he came out, he stared at Demilo, as if to say -
You're next.
Looking at the man in the crimson windbreaker, DeMiluo knew he had lost in command.
It was a complete defeat, with no room for excuses.
Although the opponent only had one steel monster unit, commanding one unit is still commanding. He was able to calmly deal with Demilo's siege tactics, forcibly tear open a gap, and use guerrilla warfare to nibble away all the soldiers of the Shepherd, which can be regarded as a classic example of winning with fewer troops.
"Which fairy tale did those dark blue soldiers come from?" the female magician with black and red hair asked curiously, as if she was expecting Demilo's reply.
Demilo didn't pay any attention to the other female magicians. He silently said in his heart, "Stars, please shine for me."
boom!
Dark blue armor appeared on his body. In his left hand, he held a ferocious giant bow and placed it directly on the ground. In his right hand, he pulled out a dazzling arrow that seemed to be made of diamonds from the quiver and aimed at the steel monster that was still farting and polluting the environment.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As the steel monster charged, Ash, sensing the danger, hugged Sonia and Diya and crawled under the seat together!
In contrast, the Star Shepherd did not move or flee, but shot an arrow calmly.
The dazzling arrow split into three arrows the moment it missed the target, and smashed towards the sports car like thunder!
Boom boom boom!
Bang!
The front window exploded directly, and the dazzling arrow flew over the heads of Ash and the other two, sweeping away some of their hair. At the same time, the terrifying blade of the sports car slashed towards Demilo fiercely, carrying the inertia of more than 60 kilometers per hour, as if to cut him in two!
Boom!
The evil blade that could cut stone like butter not only failed to cut off the Shepherd, but instead spun in place as if it had hit a pillar!
Demilo was only knocked back a few steps, and the dark blue armor on his body hardly changed. He leisurely pulled out the second dazzling arrow.
The magicians endured the dizziness caused by the collision and rotation, and looked out to observe the situation. Sonia almost screamed, "Even if the armor of those weirdos was not broken after being hit, at least the color of the armor would have faded a little... How come he seems to be fine!?"
"His armor is very high." Diya's hair became very mixed at this time, black, red and white, the black was not pure, the red was a little dirty, and the white was a little dark. Her speech also became a trio: "This should be the privilege of the heroic soul, but it doesn't matter. As long as you keep hitting it, you will definitely be able to-"
“It does matter.”
Ash said, "His attack just now reduced Che's remaining health to one-fifth."
"If it happens four more times, the car will explode. Without this car, we are definitely no match for them, but the enemy only has the Heroic Spirit Commander left."
"Either the car explodes first, or he dies first."
"The final round begins."
