Heart of the Castle

Chapter 389 The Demon Lord's Terrible Plan

The giant wheel palace driven by forty violent horned demons crushed the snow in the extreme north ice field, and there was an annoying creaking and moaning sound from the wheel axle, surrounded by the most elite troops in the demon army - the lord guard.These tall demons were all wearing thick bronze armor covered with fiery red magic patterns, and they were riding nightmare beasts trampling Fiercefire with all four hooves on their crotches.Although the cold wind blowing from the north was so cold that it cut flesh and bones, the beheading knives in the hands of these demons still had an extremely hot breath, as if they had just been burnt red in an iron furnace.

The supreme commander of the demon army, the Lord of Abyss Alchemy, is sitting on the black iron throne in this magnificent wheel palace, with the sawtooth beheading sword that exudes strong fluctuations of evil magic power inserted at his feet.Those who are qualified to accompany the lord in the wheel palace are more than a dozen powerful high-level demon leaders.Scott, the quasi-burning lord, was also present, and his position was quite close to the Black Iron Throne, making the eyes of the demon leaders behind him sparkle with jealousy.

A Winged Demon Annihilator just reported the answer he got from the human defenders, and now he is crouching in front of the Black Iron Throne, waiting for the order of the abyss demon lord to either die or leave.Its body trembled with the uncertainty of its fate, yet the final verdict was delayed.

The doors and windows facing the Lord of Abyss Alchemy are all wide open. From the wheel palace, you can directly see the Great Wall of Ice Wall on the other side of the Heihe River. The sky is already quite dark, but the griffin flag flying above the Great Wall is still bright and dazzling. , as if some kind of magic that can emit light has been cast on it.

The demon lord stared at the griffin banner for a long time without looking away, and so did the other demon lords in the wheel palace.Judging from the results of the outpost's tentative attack, this line of defense built by the ice is quite solid and has no loopholes, protecting the south bank of the Black River stretching for hundreds of kilometers.And compared with previous times, the human defenders this time are exceptionally well equipped and have a very high fighting will.The temptation of the outpost troops was hit head-on by them. Not only were more than half of the casualties, but even several high-level demons were killed. It can be said that the loss was heavy.

In fact, since the day when humans built a defense line on the other side of the Black River, information has been sent to the wheel palace through the demon slave riders and wing demon scouts. However, after receiving the report from the wing demon scouts, most of the demon leaders Once laughed at the stupidity of human beings.The place where Heihe borders the Extreme Arctic Ice Sheet is no less than a thousand miles away. It may take a year or two to build a line of defense that can protect the entire northern border.Therefore, many demon leaders suggested that the army should suspend its actions, and fight another brisk annihilation battle after the humans are exhausted.

Only a few demon leaders expressed different opinions. Among them, the leaders of the Demon Slave Knights had the most intense tone, and Scott, the quasi-burning lord who finally joined the demon army, also suggested that the army move as soon as possible. If any leader Fearing those fragile gadgets built by humans, he can lead his troops to strike first.

Scott's suggestion dispelled the last worries of the demon leaders. This time the demons used unprecedented power, which was the first time in the disasters that invaded the northern border for hundreds of years.Not only is the demon army commanded by a majestic abyssal demon lord, but he also has a total of [-] low-level demons under his command, nearly a thousand big demons at the level of ordinary human knights, and hundreds of high-level demons at the level of great knights.If casualties were not a concern, this force could even capture Deke City, the county seat in Northern Border County, not to mention the barren territory north of the Dusk Forest.

So the demon army slowly advanced according to the established plan, and it was not until the winged demon scouts sent the news that the human defense line on the south bank of the Black River had begun to take shape, that they suddenly accelerated their advance.However, it was too late at this time. When the demon outpost troops arrived, the Ice Wall Great Wall had been completely built, and the human defenders were ready to give them a head-on blow.

The Lord of Abyss Demon Refining stared forward. The Great Wall of Ice Wall standing on the south bank of the Black River was particularly eye-catching in his eyes. It was as if there was a light source inside, and the whole body exuded a bluish-white light that disgusted him.This kind of radiance always reminds it of some bad memories, such as the Silver Moon Goddess who also exudes this kind of radiance...

"Who can tell me who is blocking our way?" the abyss demon lord suddenly asked, and the deep voice containing bloodthirsty murderous intent echoed in the hall of the wheel palace.The Winged Demon Annihilator who had been lying on the ground hurriedly raised his head, and when he was about to answer, a roar pierced his eardrums like thunder.

"Who allowed you to look up?"

Accompanied by the roar of the abyssal demon lord was a sharp sword light, the jagged beheading sword passed over the raised chest of the Winged Demon Annihilator, and the sound it made was unbearable to listen to.The next moment, a torrential rain of flesh and blood landed in the middle of the wheel palace hall, and the body of the Winged Demon Destroyer disappeared from the abdomen up. Only a head full of frightened expressions whirled in the air and flew down to the gate. outside.

This is obviously a sword of anger that made the demon leaders in the hall of the wheel palace shrink back, all of them lowered their heads and kept silent, for fear of arousing the anger of the demon lords.

But the embarrassing silence didn't last long, "The great lord of the abyss alchemy, the invincible General Kleinus! I know." A voice came from the position farthest from the Black Iron Throne, followed by a figure Flashed out and knelt down on one knee to salute.

This person was wearing knight armor covered with strange magic patterns, and a full-face helmet unique to demonized knights, completely blocking his ugly face and expressions. "The one guarding the Black River must be the newly appointed Guardian of the North of the Kingdom of Arthur, Levi Stone, a young boy who gained this position by virtue of Lord Ilion's defeat."

"You brat?" the Lord of Abyss Demon Smelting snorted, "Although that fellow Irion is pure waste, he still belongs to the powerful Abyss Demon Smelting Clan after all, and he is not something that any brat can kill casually!"

The abyss demon lord roared with anger, which made the unlucky demonized knight tremble. The idea of ​​trying to curry favor with the demon lord disappeared, but now he just wanted to keep his head.But for him who hastily stepped forward, this is already an extravagant hope.

A mocking laugh came from the quasi-burning lord, and then the powerful demon in a cloak of flames and with several fireballs spinning on his head stood up, first bowed deeply to the Black Iron Throne, and then used His unique voice with crackling flames said: "Your Excellency General Kleinus, since our valiant Knight Amuro called the human lord guarding the Black River a boy, he and his subordinates must have The Demon Slave Knights can't wait to send the head of that brat to you."

"That's right, General, let the Demon Slave Knights play the vanguard!" Another high-ranking demon—a particularly burly horned demon warlord also shouted.

"I also agree that the Demon Slave Knights should be more familiar with human defense tactics than we are. Letting them play the front line will definitely achieve good results." A winged demon leader with a pair of huge bat wings behind him Say.

"Maybe we can directly break through that fragile ice wall, am I right? Hahahaha."

A tall, thin hellfire devil suddenly said this, and then threw up his head and let out a wild giggle. Then most of the demon leaders let out the same wild laughter, although they didn't know where it was. so ridiculous.

The abyssal demon lord stood up amidst the laughter, his eyes gleamed with blood, "Amorro knight." He called the demonized knight's name, and the latter's body trembled violently, and he raised his head. At the beginning, there was a begging look in his eyes.But the abyss demon lord didn't see it, or didn't care about the demonized knight's thoughts at all, "You lead the demon slave knights to launch an attack, and I will allocate several teams to cooperate with your actions, and bring that brat to my Come before me, regardless of life or death."

"The invincible General Kleinus, but..." the demonized knight Amolo wanted to say something, but when he met the fierce eyes of the abyss demon lord, what he wanted to say was choked in his throat.In the end, he lowered his head tremblingly, "I obey, Your Excellency General...I'll go right away."

Watching the demonized knight exit the wheel palace in a state of embarrassment, the demon leaders let out wild laughter again. The winged demon leader grinned and said with a big mouth full of fangs, "Look at his appearance!" , dejected, not like going to attack the human defense line, but like going to a funeral."

"It's a funeral." The voice of the abyssal demon lord made the laughter disappear immediately, and the demon leaders all turned their suspicious eyes to their commander, not knowing where this sentence came from.

"The Demon Slave Knights are no longer our help, but a burden." The Lord of Abyss Demon Refining stepped forward, towards the gate of the wheel palace.The demon leaders who stood in his way backed up to both sides, and then followed behind their commander, nodding their heads frequently in agreement. "Although these guys voluntarily joined us for various reasons, deep down they still consider themselves human beings. These guys just want to use our power to achieve their desires, and what they want most is the ownership of this human territory."

"Using us? These idiots are simply whimsical!" A hell flame demon cursed hoarsely.

"Of course, the territory is ours, and the lives of these guys are also ours!" The quasi-burning lord said with a smile on his lips. "Demons, only demons are the masters of this land, not human beings, let alone those poor demon slaves!"

"It's not just this land." The Abyss Alchemy Lord said with a sneer, "Neither the Black River nor the Dusk Forest can stop us. This time we are not like in the past, killing and looting and returning Go to hell..." The lord of the abyss refining demon walked outside the wheel palace, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew over, but he was rushed by the black flames rising from his body, and evaporated without a trace.Looking at the dark blue night sky that was gradually covered by dark clouds, the abyss alchemy lord stretched out a giant claw covered with thorns and scales, and bent his five fingers towards the sky, as if he wanted to hold the whole world in his hands.

"Northern Orla, Dirk City, Sicily... Heh heh heh." The abyssal demon lord repeated the name of an important human city, "These are not our final goals, our goal is the goal of this human kingdom The royal capital, the Firmeyer known as the city of glory!"
