The knight in the abyss

Chapter 651 Approaching the battlefield
On the third day after that encounter, that is, the fifth day after the team set off from Shuangqiao Town, the Volcanic Fort finally appeared in the sight of the mercenaries.

Even at a distance of tens of miles, the figure of that huge black castle is already the most shocking sight on the skyline.The body of the giant castle is completely hidden in the mountain, and what is exposed is its city wall, which is more than eighty feet high and made entirely of obsidian.The artificially cut stones piled together will form resistance to transformation spells, so that the spellcaster can do limited things in the siege battle, and obsidian itself is resistant to fire, and the war machines that the devils shoot giant fireballs are also Nothing to do with it.

But even people with no military knowledge can be convinced from the intuitive feeling of the Volcano Fortress that this is a fortress that cannot be captured.The only entrance that allows the army to pass is a staircase with a slope of more than [-] degrees that goes deep into the city wall. It is impossible for any sane commander to send his troops to attack such a staircase, let alone the metal fan at the end of the staircase. giant gate.

However, with his superhuman eyesight, Lancelot saw that the devils had actually tried it—although there were no corpses on the steps, there were quite a few machetes that were unique to Sumo, and apart from being killed in battle, there was no reason for them to Throw away your own weapons.Having said that, the devil's army emphasizes unconditional obedience to orders, and can be resurrected in Baator Hell after death, and only they will make such a hopeless attempt.

A large group of vultures suddenly flew up in front of them. Those birds with black wings were like a tornado.

"I'm afraid those guys smell it." Brutal frowned and said, "Just waiting to eat our corpses for lunch."

As the army moved on, the crowd began to smell another peculiar stench.

After most mortals smell this smell, they will have an instinctive fear. Although they have no idea what this smell represents, their blood seems to remember that smell.For the mercenaries, this smell is really familiar. If you show doubts, it can only mean that you have falsified your resume on the job application.

The source of the stench soon appeared in everyone's sight: a whole hill made up entirely of corpses.The corpse near the top had turned into white bones, most likely it was the masterpiece of the group of vultures just now, while the corpse in the lower part had been severely decomposed.

If you can restrain your fear and observe for a while, you can easily see that all the corpses belong to demons.The hill was both a monument to a great victory the Devil had won here and a warning sign of the consequences for any creature who advanced.

No matter how experienced a mercenary is, it's hard not to see that shocking scene.But they kept going, and no one stopped, because they were in a procession, and the procession was still going on.

After walking forward for a while, Lancelot's ears suddenly moved, because there were some abnormal sounds in the wind.The elf priest with a pair of long ears and a sensory ability almost comparable to his looked at him with a questioning look on his face.

"Yes." Lancelot nodded, "There is already a fight ahead."

"Are you sure?" the six-armed snake walking in front suddenly turned his head and asked the human knight.Unknowingly, Sonam has changed his previous dismissive attitude towards Lancelow, and even began to rely on his opinions.

"This is not speculation. I can already hear the sound of metal impact." Lancelow pointed to his ear, "I suggest ordering everyone to put on armor now, otherwise there may be a little rush later."

"Okay." Sonam nodded, and then shouted to everyone around him with range telepathy:

'Stop it all! '

Telepathy was very effective when used to give orders, and the mercenaries immediately stopped in their tracks, looking at the lizard with some doubts.

"Who among you wants to pee and shit, I'll give you 3 minutes to solve the problem." The snake devil said loudly to everyone, "Why are you still standing there? I've already started the timer!"

A few mercenaries left the team. According to the practice of the previous few days, those who could be solved standing up went to the left, and those who needed to squat went to the right.Because the original smell in the air is so bad that the smell of life they made is actually reassuring.

"It's all over? Very good, so that no one can pull in their pants for a while, which will bother me very much, because in theory I shouldn't cut the long sword at any of you, at least the day after... Not before, but I'm afraid I won't be able to. Now put on your armor and get your weapons in hand, because you'll be fighting those Baatezu sons of bitches again soon."

Hearing that the mercenaries started to move one after another, some heavy and complicated armors were really troublesome to wear, so Lancelot also stepped aside to help Aramir.He himself put on the armor early in the morning. After all, with his physical fitness, it hardly made any difference whether he wore armor or not during a long march. On the contrary, he was not used to taking off the armor.

Five minutes later, the mercenaries who had packed their equipment set off again, and quickly caught up with the group of demonic spiders in front of them.After walking forward for about 5 minutes, everyone's ears heard the roar of the monster of war, a symphony of metal, flesh, and vocal cords that no one could bear to hear. The body trembles and the heart beats faster.

The demons walking in front of the mercenary troop suddenly became agitated, and then began to run forward with all their strength.Some of the mercenaries also wanted to follow, but Sonam sternly stopped them.

"Keep at the current pace, idiots, and save your strength for the battle." The six-armed snake demon's hoarse, hair-raising, and malicious voice sounded faintly, "You are now fully dressed, relaxed, and Is it more suitable to meet death than this? But please, cut down a few more Baatezu before you die, you have already received a week's salary, if you die without killing any of them, maybe the god of the dead will send you back Back to this plane... of course, in the form of human-faced maggots."
