Beast Throne

Chapter 709 Approaching
For the devil, guarding hostages is really a very boring thing.

Because of low intelligence, no matter how strong the fighting power of the demon army is, it will never be possible to have a clear division of labor and perform their duties like the human army.They can only understand the simplest commands, such as attack, retreat, stay here and not run around, and so on.After evolving into high-level demons, they will open their intelligence, but they are only slightly better than wild beasts.

Not every kind of demon will become smart after evolution, such as hellhound.After evolving into two-headed hellhounds, although they have an extra head, their intelligence has not improved at all, and they can only act instinctively like wild dogs.

Mental retardation can be regarded as the biggest weakness of demons, and it is fortunate that they do not rule the world.Even if they evolve into demon kings, they are at most comparable to humans.For example, Jiabao and Jiabo, the pair of twin demons, were basically split from a powerful demon king, but the intelligence of the two is very different.

Jiabo can be regarded as an outlier among demons, with a high IQ and ready for all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.It can be said that without Jiabo, even if the number of demons in the imperial city doubled, people would not feel as troublesome as they are now.And Jiabao is obviously far behind Jiabo, and Jiabao's intelligence level is on the same level as that of ordinary humans, and he is still the kind with little social experience.

As for the remaining demon kings, let alone.For example, the dignified leader of the Longhorn tribe, Moses the Blood Jade Antelope, couldn't even speak, so even if he had intelligence, he wouldn't be much higher.

Under this premise, it is not easy for low-level demons to master the ability to guard the hostages. It is precisely because of this that Jiabo had to designate the southeast area of ​​the imperial city where humans were imprisoned as a restricted area, strictly prohibiting low-level demons. Demons have entered the area.

This is not a secret, even without this rescue plan, Sutu would send people to investigate the situation in the city, at least to know where the 10 hostages were being held.That is to say, after knowing that all human beings were concentrated in the southeast area of ​​the imperial city, Su Tu had the idea of ​​counterattack and formulated a strict plan.

Few people know that Su Tu has a good relationship with that mysterious summoner family, and one of his subordinates is from the summoner family.The plan to summon strange beasts to suppress the demons in the city also came from his subordinate, and he also took the initiative to contact the person in charge of the family.

Probably because of the race war, the Summoner family readily agreed and did not embarrass Su Tu.But even so, in order to be able to complete his work in one battle, Su Tu still paid a big price.

If you want to summon so many strange beasts, and the summoned beasts must have enough ability to suppress the big demon, even if the whole family of the summoner family is dispatched collectively, it will not be possible, and you need the assistance of many great magicians.It was naturally Su Tu's task to persuade the great magicians to help, and he also volunteered to contribute the mysterious magic chamber.You must know that the secret room is one of the secrets of the Tianyang Empire. It belongs to the foundation of the country. Few people know of its existence. Su Tu will never expose it unless it is absolutely necessary.

It can be said that this summoning technique that combines various forces to succeed is best described as unprecedented, and it is very likely that it will never appear again in the future.

However, summoning the alien beast was only the first step. It took so much effort to do something, in the end, it was to be able to sneak in smoothly and finally rescue the residents of the city.It can be said that if the rescue of the hostages fails, no matter how many demons die under the summoning technique, they will not be able to harm their roots, and will not be able to change the current situation.

Mental retardation is the biggest weakness of demons, and their biggest advantage is their large numbers, which are inexhaustible like weeds.If you can't get rid of the hostage cards in the demon's hand, it only takes a while for them to fully recover from their abilities.

When demons and alien beasts were fighting together, the southeast area of ​​the imperial city was as quiet as a paradise, with only a small number of patrol teams wandering back and forth from time to time.In normal times, taking hostages can definitely be regarded as a bad job.While the other demons are sleeping, these chosen demons have to patrol back and forth, and they can't just kill humans who look good.

But at this moment, the demons staying in the southeastern region are undoubtedly lucky.When the demons in other areas are bitten and devoured by strange beasts, they can still wander leisurely in the deserted streets without worrying about their lives.For example, the patrol team in front of us is led by Nightmare Knights. In addition to more than a dozen one-horned nightmare beasts, there is also a hellhound in the team. This can also be regarded as the standard configuration of the patrol team.

In fact, Nightmare Knights are not good guards. They usually prefer to kill rather than guard. With the ability of Nightmare Knights, holding hostages is considered overkill.But this arrangement is also out of helplessness, because only the Nightmare Knight will not drool at the imprisoned humans.

But this also created a small problem. The bloodthirsty nightmare knights really don't like to live this kind of leisurely life.Since it is not allowed to kill humans casually, let's kill some other head offices.As a result, the Cerberus in the patrol team needs to be updated almost every day, because the Nightmare Knights always kill the Cerberus in the team after completing the patrol mission.

"It's almost time."

First looked up at the moonlight, the Nightmare Knight who was on patrol turned back to look at the hellhound maliciously, and then used his little wisdom to think about cutting off the hellhound's head. Come down, or split it in half vertically.Or it's a little more troublesome, let the younger brothers swarm up and trample the hellhound into meat sauce.

After being selected as a guard, killing hellhounds can be said to be Nightmare Knight's only recreational activity, and he never tires of it, repeating it every day without getting bored.It's just that this Nightmare Knight would never have imagined that his favorite recreational activity was doomed to fail today.

Without warning, just when the Nightmare Knight decided to chop off the head of the Cerberus to kick the ball, a blade-like gale swept over, cutting the hapless Cerberus in two before the Nightmare Knight could make a move. Half.The Nightmare Knight was startled, and then quickly swung the double-headed sword in his hand. There was a clanging sound, and countless wind blades fell from the sky, instantly tearing apart the dozens of Nightmare behind him, leaving only Nightmare The knight managed to save his life.

At this time, if he is a qualified guard, the most important thing he should do is not to look for the enemy, but to shout loudly to pass on the news of someone invading.However, the assailant was obviously familiar with the tempers of the demons, and took the lead in killing the only hellhound that could scream loudly. The only surviving nightmare knight had no intention of sending a message at all. After the wind blade stopped, he immediately raised his head and looked around. , wanting to catch the attacker and chop it into pieces.

Its desire was satisfied, and as soon as the wind blade stopped, a burly figure descended from the sky, with the long knife in his hand pointing directly at the Nightmare Knight's head.The Nightmare Knight was already a high-level demon, so it was impossible for him to be killed so easily. Instead of dodging when he found someone attacking, he immediately swung his knife and faced the shadow.

The Nightmare Knight's body was far taller than that of a human, and its double-headed broadsword was naturally much longer than the weapon held by the attacker.If the two attack at the same time, the Nightmare Knight will undoubtedly smash the opponent first.But this time was an exception. Since the attacker dared to attack head-on, he naturally had his own trump card.

Still outside the attack range, the black shadow directly slashed down with a knife.The broadsword that emitted a faint blue light was instantly stretched as if it had elasticity as it swung vigorously, and it was chopped on its helmet before the Nightmare Knight could react.

Once the move was successful, the assailant took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, slashing one after another from a condescending position.That strange broadsword has almost turned into a whip, and it lasts for a long time, but it can always slash on the tall body of the Nightmare Knight, making him hard to guard against!

"Die me!" After chopping nearly a hundred knives, the attacker stopped shouting, spun a few times in mid-air, and then slashed at the Nightmare Knight with all his strength.This knife was different from before, the blade was no longer elongated, but in its original posture, it slashed at the Nightmare Knight's face, directly splitting the Nightmare Knight's helmet into two sections.

There was an ear-piercing squeaking sound, and the Nightmare Knight's body shrank rapidly as if deflated, and soon turned from a burly knight on a tall horse into a half-person-high scrap iron, and the only thing left was the handle. A hideous double-headed broadsword.At the same time, more than a dozen figures walked out of the dark corner at the same time, and stopped in front of the demon patrol that had been killed.

"It's really interesting. Why did this tall and outrageous guy shrink like this after death? I thought I could cut off his head directly this time." A tall man kicked the Nightmare Knight and left behind. At the same time, he picked up the double-ended long knife.This person was carrying a blue long knife on his back, no doubt it was the one who killed the Nightmare Knight just now.Judging from his tone, it seemed that he had successfully killed other nightmare knights before.

"In order to satisfy your own curiosity, you made such a big commotion, and even shouted at the end, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Another person came out with a rather unfriendly tone.This man is very short, but he is holding a long staff in his hand. On the top of the staff is carved a ferocious beast. It seems to be a big snake with a big mouth, but the mouth is full of sharp thorns. The teeth are densely packed and continue to the depths.

"Hehe, let's not be an example!" The man with the long knife on his back seemed to be a little afraid of this man, he backed up two steps with a dry laugh, and returned to the crowd.The short man didn't say much, but swept the long stick in his hand to the ground, and a black cloud shot out from the staff, just covering the pair of corpses.Soon, when the black smoke dissipated, all flesh and blood disappeared.

"And the last one, be careful. Tralay, how are you preparing?" Sutu asked in a deep voice as he stepped out of the crowd.The identities of this group of people were also revealed.

"It's almost there, Your Highness must not be disappointed." The short man touched the long stick in his hand and said confidently.
