The knight in the abyss

Chapter 658 Duties and Responsibilities

A spellcaster is one of the most important assets of a devil who pursues an elite strategy.When faced with demon legions far exceeding their own, the demons will rely on iron-blooded military discipline, dense phalanxes, and efficient long-handled weapons to deal with cannon fodder such as original demons and cowards. High-level devils are not so easy to deal with, and mid-level devils who are officers are not willing to take risks easily.

Therefore, the devil's army is quite dependent on those spellcasters who are loyal to the Nine Hells, relying on them to solve the targets that pose a greater threat to ordinary soldiers, and what Lancelot is doing is knocking out these 'high-value assets' one by one .

Similar scenes have been staged countless times in every corner of the multiverse: after a big battle, the cavalry of the winning side slaughtered the fleeing infantry, and often this link is the stage with the most deaths in a battle .Although the current situation is slightly different, the speed of killing is very similar. In less than 3 minutes, Lancelot has harvested the lives of fifteen casters, leaving behind a large number of mutilated corpses .

By the way, these spellcasters who are loyal to Baator Hell, their afterlife has long been doomed.Devils are always happy to pay immediately after the contract is signed, and the contract often stipulates that no matter what happens, both parties cannot be relieved of their obligations-this of course includes death.In most cases, the deceased cannot continue to perform the contract, so according to the general principles of handling debt disputes, the dishonesty needs to be liquidated in bankruptcy...

But as a dead person, what other valuable things can there be?

Oh dear, of course there is, a tiny thing you didn't even realize you had...and you've promised to sell it to the devil, and they've put a down payment!

To be honest, spellcasters certainly have enough self-protection ability. In most cases, they have an overwhelming advantage over professions that rely on muscle and metal to fight. Disabled when human knight.

He moved so fast that all the fireballs and ice bombs fired at him missed their targets by far; some people tried to bless themselves with protective spells, but whether it was stone skin, which turned the skin into rock, could still fool The attacker's mirror image technique has no effect on the flickering sword light of the human knight. Even the invisibility technique released in advance can be easily seen through. Treasures of vision.

As for spells such as hypnosis, blindness, charm, and fear, they are useless. The reason is very simple-the effective distance of these spells is too short, and the speed of human knights is too fast, so it is impossible for them to complete the spells. time.

The only spell that seemed to work was one - a 5th level evocation spell standing wall.This spell creates an invisible wall with a total area of ​​[-] square feet, the actual shape and location of which is specified by the caster.Nothing can physically pass through this wall, and it is also immune to any magical damage, including spells such as dispel magic. Only disintegration is effective on it, but Lancelot doesn't know this.

Of course, the attribute of invisibility has no effect on Lancelot, a wall that hinders the flow of spiritual energy in the world is as obvious as a black spot on a white wall.However, Lancelot soon discovered that the wall still existed even after entering the effective range of the Temperament Stone, forcing him to immediately turn his horse's head to avoid bumping into it.

Fortunately, not every spellcaster has prepared this spell in advance. Even if they had prepared this spell, they would not have thought of surrounding themselves like a can, so Lancelot was really only slightly hindered, and the way to deal with it was very good. Simple - just go around.

On the black giant castle, the hellish fiend wearing black armor couldn't sit still. It was still immersed in the joy of victory just now, but at this moment it suddenly realized that if the human knight was left alone, nothing would happen. Unfortunately, there is no spellcaster who can run back to the volcano fortress, which will make their plan to stand by in the volcano fortress extremely difficult.

The subordinates it brought over are carrying out another massacre in the volcano castle, and it is difficult to separate the men, so it subconsciously wants to kill the nightmare knight by itself—if it is a demon, it may have jumped off the tower .

However, after all, the devil is a race that values ​​​​orders more than anything else. Although it is the "big man" who gave the order as a pit fiend, it still hates to change the plan temporarily, not to mention it has already done so. Well, the part of the plan that I am responsible for.

Thinking of this, the Devil Noble's heart suddenly moved slightly.Due to its previous failure in Twinbridge Town, it was forced to accept the role of ambusher. This humiliating job required burrowing underground for several days and being stepped on by demons, although the victory was already certain. , but the credit has nothing to do with it, it would be nice not to be held accountable by the Grand Duke.

But what if several of his colleagues made serious mistakes like it did?
His mission is very clear: choose the right time to attack, and take down the volcano fortress as quickly as possible. As for matters on the battlefield, that is not its responsibility.Although the mercenary knight riding Nightmare looks very powerful, of course one person cannot seize the huge castle under his crotch, nor can he prevent the elite of the devil army from withdrawing into the castle, but if he can get those Kill all spellcasters...

That must be the dereliction of duty of the other three demon refining generals!

In fact, Lancelot had been paying attention to the movement of the fiend from the deep hell, as soon as the other party wanted to come down to deal with him, he would immediately turn his bracelet and summon Tijana to the battlefield.The succubus lord has proved that he is strong enough to fight against the black-armored fiend from the deep hell. Lancelot is not without cards to play. If he can kill the fiend from the deep hell in one fell swoop, it will not be difficult to regain the Volcano Fortress. , In this way, the coalition forces have a great chance to come back.

However, the result disappointed him. Not only did the devil general not respond, he simply disappeared into the dark entrance of the castle, as if he hadn't seen him at all.Lancelow couldn't help but wonder, why is that guy so cautious?Does your intention seem too obvious?
No matter what the opponent's plan was, Lanceroco did not slow down his hunt for the fleeing enemy at all.A quarter of an hour later, less than a hundred feet away from the entrance steps of the Volcano Fortress, he knocked down the last spellcaster who tried to escape into the Volcano Fortress, and the steps were already crowded with a large number of middle-level devils, but it seemed They don't plan to make a move unless they step on the steps ahead.

Lanceroll reined in the reins, and Nightmare raised her hooves very cooperatively, posing in a handsome pose, and then turned and left without looking back.None of the devils noticed that some dense vines appeared at the place where the human knight was just now, and a few more small blue jade bottles appeared beside them.
