The knight in the abyss

Chapter 663 Three Questions
"We have... over a thousand left, of which six hundred are the main force."

Mrs. Spiderweb said in a cold tone without further explanation.However, Lancelot understands that the main force in the mouth of the demon lord refers to mid-level demons such as Berserk and Brezu. If you want to simply convert the combat power, about [-] cannon fodder are worth a mid-level demon .Therefore, although the number of cannon fodder in a demon army is far greater than that of the main force, their combat effectiveness determines their status in the mind of the commander-roughly equivalent to consumables such as arrows and spears. Before the main force is dispatched, It is best to use up all of these consumables.

"Ogor's fighters are only [-] left, but they are all good players." The bull demon sitting in the corner also said in a muffled voice, "Ogor originally brought [-] fighters, and the fighters fought with all their strength. Unlike spiders, who are lazy in battle!"

"Death in battle has nothing to do with the outcome of the battle, idiot." Madam Spiderweb didn't even look at the horn of destruction, "And, who knows how many of them were trampled to death by yourself?"

"Okay, stop arguing." Barbosh, who was watching the show, waved his hand boredly, "The coalition army can still gather two complete legions, that is, 6000 people, and there can probably be two middle-level demons in it." Thousands. As for Baatezu, thanks to the thorn wall made by the will of the abyss, less than 300 of their low-level infantry retreated into the volcano fortress, but the number of middle-level Baatezu was still about [-]—— I counted it very carefully, and unless the defenders left by General Vesuvius in the volcano can consume some more enemies, it will be this number."

Vesuvius kept silent with a dark face.

"In other words, our strength is a total of [-] mercenaries, [-]... low-level Tanari, [-] mid-level Tanari, and a total force of [-]." Lancelow Mosuo pouted his chin and said slowly, "Our enemies are only [-], and [-] of them are middle-level Baatezu... Then suppose we have a decisive battle on the plain, and the devils have no chance of winning at all, that's right. Bar?"

"If you are purely hypothetical, then yes, no clever strategy is useless in the face of absolute power, but the devils also know this, so they must have slipped away early, and such a duel will never happen. Sonam replied coldly, "But don't forget that the enemy still has four pit demons, plus an impenetrable fortress."

"I know, but it is still necessary to figure out the strength comparison between the two sides. The next question, how long will this situation last? Is it possible for the two sides to get reinforcements?"

Lancelot's question made the faces of all the demon lords darken. In the end, Vesuvius was the first to speak:

"The closest to here is Plague Town. I heard that it fell ten days ago. If the Baatezu send out a signal for help today, reinforcements will arrive from Plague Town in as soon as three days. As for ourselves reinforcements..."

"There is no need to consider the issue of reinforcements." Barbosh shook his head decisively, "Vesuvius, you also know the character of the lord. If we fail, he would rather send a large army to raze the volcano fortress later than Soldiers will be sent to rescue us."

"And even if we set off now, it's too late." Sonam added, "We came from Shuangqiao Town, and it took five days to reach Volcano Fortress, and this is already the fastest route."

"In other words, we must resolve the battle within three days." Lancelot nodded. "Then we come to the last question, the great flame of destruction, can you tell us about your territory's...weaknesses?"

"The Volcano Fortress is a perfect fortress!!!" The former Lord of the Volcano Fortress burst into flames and roared at Lancelot, "There is no way to break through it!!!!"

The pressure brought by a Ballow Flame Roar cannot be described in words. Lancelot felt an irresistible urge to turn around and run.However, he activated the Bing Xin Jue in time, forcibly suppressed the heart that was about to explode in his chest, and replied with a respectful expression:
Unless its lord is stupid enough to run out with an army himself.

"Unless its true owner wants to wrest it back from a brazen thief."

"Well, of course..." Vesuvius nodded in satisfaction, and sat back on the chair again, "But the Volcano Fortress is indeed a perfect fortress, it has no loopholes or shortcomings!!"

"Well... In this case, what makes the Volcano Castle so perfect?" Lancelot decided to guide the Balrog in another way, "For example, can we organize flying units and throw soldiers into the castle from the air?"

"Hahahaha, do you think I didn't think of this?" Vesuvius laughed, "There is a powerful defensive circle in the volcano castle, and special power is infused into the obsidian that makes up the city wall. Anyone who is close to those obsidian within a hundred feet Creatures inside will lose the ability to fly and fall straight from the sky. The only gap is the front ladder, but there is a special defense structure, and it is always heavily guarded. Attacking from the sky is even more important than attacking from the ground. It is difficult, so it is impossible to capture the Volcano Fortress with flying units!"

"That's it..." Lancelot touched his nose, "Then may I ask where is this powerful defensive circle, and what energy does it use to operate?"

"Why are you asking this?" Vesuvius stared at the human knight vigilantly, "Did Tijana order you?"

"I'm just thinking about possible strategies." Lancelow looked at the Balrog speechlessly, "Although I can't fly in, I can climb in. It may be too difficult for an army to climb together, and it's easy to be discovered , but it’s different for one person. And there are not enough devils at the moment, they must have concentrated their main force near the stairs, which should give me a lot of room to move.”

"But even if you climb up, you won't be able to get in. Apart from the steps on the front, there is no other exit from the volcano castle..."

"I know it sounds a bit unbelievable, but I have mastered some special skills during my adventures, which have nothing to do with being a knight." Lancelow shrugged, "Maybe there is a small wall on a certain wall. The crack, just enough for me to squeeze in with a little trick..."

"Really?" The former volcanic fort lord still looked a little skeptical, "Even if what you said is true, anyway, I will use a knife to force you to go up...but then? You only have one person, and you can do it when you go in Well?"

"First of all, I won't be alone. Have you seen this dimensional bag? I can let a few companions stay in it first, and let them come out after I get to the volcano castle." Lancelot patted the bag on his waist. Pocket, "This is certainly not worth an army, but if we are smart enough, we can still cause a lot of damage, such as temporarily invalidating that special defensive magic circle..."
