Devil's Doom Row

Chapter 460
The rules set by Zitong are not for the purpose of killing as many demons as they are purely his personal hobbies. Although he has some bad tastes, in the hell without any entertainment, it is understandable to have a little interest, even bad tastes.

But no matter how you say it, as long as you let him have fun, passing the Red Lotus Canyon will not be a problem. Luo Ming obviously did this!
So when Zitong had a good time playing, he did not continue to fight, but chose to withdraw his troops. Luo Ming also wisely withdrew all the troops that had already attacked Zitong's main formation. There was no friction during the withdrawal process. After that, Zitong let Luo Ming pass through the Red Lotus Canyon!
However, when he was leading the troops towards the bridge over the Red Lotus Canyon, Luo Ming had a brain change, and then boldly walked over to Zitong again.

At this time, Zitong had almost withdrawn his troops to the side, and when he suddenly saw Luo Ming walking towards him alone, he was also slightly taken aback.

Not long after, Luo Ming, who came alone without Jill and a courtesan, came before Zitong again. This time, the two of them no longer shouted across hundreds of people like on the battlefield, but actually faced each other. stood together.

"Luo Ming, is there anything else?"

Looking at Luo Ming who came riding alone, Zitong asked with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency Zitong, I wonder if you can enjoy the battle just now?"

Facing Zitong's question, Luo Ming also laughed and asked respectfully.

"Very good." Hearing this, Zitong nodded directly: "I've heard people talk about the emergence of new stars under the command of Lord Mary, and now it seems that the reputation is well-deserved."

"Thank you for your appreciation."

Luo Ming really thanked Zi Tong for being praised by such a big devil, but then he went straight to the point:

"Your Excellency Zitong, there may be something inappropriate to say, but I have heard that your Excellency loves fighting on the next road, so... I wonder if my lord is willing to go to Huoteng City with me, where a real battle is going on!"

After saying this, Luo Ming's meaning was quite obvious. He wanted to win his son into Mary's camp!
It is not surprising that Luo Ming has such an idea, because Zitong is indeed strong enough. If he can join this war, then at least he has the ability to change the local war. Such a person is what both warring parties want to win over , and once Zitong successfully joins his side, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement, and Luo Ming will definitely receive rich rewards, so even if he knows that Zitong is not interested in participating in the victory over the lords of Mary and Jialong Big, but people are right in front of you, Luo Ming will try everything.

"Hahaha." But after listening to Luo Ming's words, Zitong laughed out loud twice, and then said with a smile: "You guy, you really don't know the heights of heaven and earth, even if the two adults really want to invite me Joining the war, it's not your turn to be a lobbyist!"

After laughing twice, Zitong said without any scruples.

The meaning of what he said was obviously telling Luo Ming that even if he wanted to invite himself out of the mountain, Luo Ming was not qualified enough!
And this may sound ugly, but it is true. Whether it is Mary or Jia Long, if they really intend to win over Zitong, then the lobbyists sent must not be small characters, at least, at least they must be Fu. It is only possible to persuade Zitong if a person of the level of Forbeck or Mr. Pang comes in person, because the presence of such a person as Forbeck or Mr. Pang in person represents the importance and respect in itself.

"but……"

After cutting off Luo Ming's thoughts with a single sentence, Zitong said again: "Recently few people have successfully passed the Red Lotus Valley, especially those guys sent by Jia Long, they are simply a group of arrogant mobs, so this I am indeed very satisfied with the First World War, so don’t even think about letting me participate in the war, but I can’t let you lose so many troops for nothing..."

Having said that, Zitong thought for a while, and then said:
"I can let you borrow as many troops as you want from me, but when you pay them back, you have to pay three times as many troops as you want."

The so-called one hundred people, all kinds of people; ten thousand people, boundless; there are countless demons in hell, and there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Among them, there are mainstream and non-mainstream, and Zitong obviously belongs to the non-mainstream. One of the mainstream demons, this person has a very weird personality. If he is unhappy, no one will give him face, and he will turn his face and deny others; but once he is happy, he is very talkative and doesn't care about anything.

And now he is obviously very happy, although he is not happy enough to directly participate in the battle, but at least he likes Luo Ming very much, so he agreed to lend Luo Ming a soldier!
Hearing this, Luo Ming was naturally overjoyed, because for him who had just gone through a big battle, being able to get supplementary troops was simply the best reward!
Strictly speaking, the battle between him and Zitong just ended. When Zitong was happy, the battle was over, but even if it was fought until the end, it was still a real battle!Even if Luo Ming doesn't go into detailed statistics, as long as he does a rough calculation, he can know that he lost at least [-] troops in the final battle, and because Zitong fell into a disadvantage in the final stage of the battle, his loss was even greater than Luo Ming's. More, it should be close to four thousand.

The losses of the two sides are different, and they have different meanings to them. For Zitong, who is completely entertaining and powerful, what is the loss of four thousand troops?Even if this war ruined all the [-] troops he brought, Zitong wouldn't be heartbroken, maybe he would be even happier; however, the same thing would be different for Luo Ming, because regardless of Luo Ming's loss, Even less, but this is all his possessions!

Luo Ming finally expanded his army to nearly [-] people after a month of fighting, but after this battle, he lost [-] troops just to make Zitong happy, nearly one-third of the loss one!But even if the loss is so huge, Luo Ming can only secretly feel sad, there is no way, who will meet the weird Zitong?And this result is already the best result, because if he can't win Zitong, it will be useless to bury nearly ten thousand troops in his hand here.

However, what Luo Ming didn't expect was that although Zitong ignored his invitation, he agreed to lend him troops. This was worth it to Luo Ming, even if he needed to pay back three times his troops, but Luo Ming But don't worry about this, because Mary made it clear at the beginning that as long as they can win the battle, all the war consumption will be compensated!
But Luo Ming didn't get carried away with complacency. Although Zitong said he could borrow as many troops as he wanted, he knew not to overdo it, so after a moment of joy, he cautiously asked:

"Your Excellency Zitong, from your point of view, how many troops is it appropriate to bring with you?"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zitong couldn't help but glance at Luo Ming, and then nodded his head: "Sure enough, he is good at fighting, good, good!"

Zitong's words were not groundless, because Luo Ming's previous question was quite good.

As we all know, the current Luo Ming is not considered a powerful demon. If it is really calculated according to the scale of development and personal strength, he can now have at most three to five thousand troops by virtue of his own strength; To put it bluntly, even after going through a month of continuous battles, he only has the ability to command about 1 troops. This means that Luo Ming's ability to command about [-] troops may not be enough, but if he commands more troops , On the contrary, it will lead to a decline in command ability due to insufficient ability.

This is a truth that can only be understood by those who really know how to fight. In the opinion of ordinary people, the more troops you command, the stronger your combat effectiveness will be, but it is actually a completely wrong view, because depending on the size of the troops, the means and tactics of command are also different. They are all different; so people must be self-aware, don’t eat so much food if they don’t have such a big meaning, or they will be exhausted; commanding troops is also the same, if a general who can only command 1 people insists on commanding ten Ten thousand troops, then the one hundred thousand troops will all be buried in the hands of this person in the end.

Luo Ming's question just now was to ask Zitong, what level is his ability in his opinion?Can it command 1 people, or can it be a little more?
And Zitong is obviously a master who really knows how to fight, so from his perspective, he has just fought against each other, so he can naturally see how capable Luo Ming is.

After thinking about it for a while, Zitong said, "In my opinion, the troops you can command should not exceed [-] at most, and [-] is the best. Any more, and you will be in danger."

After thinking about it, Zitong gave the answer.

He didn't just say this answer nonsense, because he and Luo Ming were just playing for fun on the battlefield, but Luo Ming and him were serious about it, so after the first battle, Zi Tong knew a general idea of ​​Luo Ming's ability. With his current level of command, commanding an army of 2 people would be a dream. If there were more, Luo Ming would have to bury himself in it, because the larger the army he commanded, the stronger the enemy he would face.

After hearing this answer, Luo Ming nodded, and then borrowed 8000 troops from Zitong!

Luo Ming was not polite at all, because after passing the Red Lotus Canyon, he was already very close to Jia Long's range of strength, and the targets he encountered along the way were either Jia Long's subordinates, and even if there were neutral demons, most of them had already taken refuge in him. Therefore, this replenishment is likely to be his last chance to replenish on a large scale before he arrives in Huoteng City. Luo Ming will naturally seize it. Moreover, it is not for nothing that he borrows troops from Zitong. Pay back according to three times the strength.

Among the 8000 people, Luo Ming directly asked for 300 bone knights!In this way, together with the original 700 knights in his hands, the sum of the two just reached 3000 people. Luo Ming has a real knight army in his hands; They also ordered 1000 heavy armored skeletons and [-] goat-headed mages, and the rest are all skeleton warriors.

For these requests from Luo Ming, Zitong did as he said, without blinking his eyes, and after waiting for a long time, he brought the troops to Luo Ming's eyes!

Seeing this mighty army, Luo Ming and Zitong directly signed a contract. The contract stipulates that once the war is over, Luo Ming will repay Zitong's troops with three times the strength or the equivalent of souls. After signing the agreement, the 8000-strong troop returned to Luo Ming, and Luo Ming also expanded the total size of his troop to [-]!
This addition is of great significance to Luo Ming, because this time it not only expands the size of his army, but also raises the overall quality of the army to a level comparable to the size. This is the most important thing!
Previously, although Luo Ming's army had reached a scale of ten thousand people, there were not many high-level troops in it. Among the nearly ten thousand troops, skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, and skeleton soldiers accounted for 1000%. There are many, and the total number of troops that can be regarded as high-level arms is only about [-]. This configuration is obviously a serious 'nutritional imbalance', which directly leads to Luo Mingkong's [-] troops, but the actual strength that can be exerted The fighting power is not great.

But it's fine now, after Zitong's supplies, Luo Ming's troops have not only expanded in size, but also have more high-level troops, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has been raised to a new stage.

Among the 5000 people in his hands now, there are 200 bone knights, [-] heavy armored skeletons, and [-] goat-headed mages. The total number is close to [-], accounting for about one-third of the total number of troops. This kind of proportion is what an army of more than [-] people should have, because the main force of an army of more than [-] people is still skeleton warriors and skeleton archers. However, they cannot rely on these low-level soldiers to support the scene. They must have large-scale high-level troops to improve their combat effectiveness. Only in this way can they be operable on the battlefield, and now Luo Ming has finally reached this standard!

So after passing the Red Lotus Canyon, Luo Ming was full of spirits, because now he no longer had any fear with a large army in his hands, and the strategic goal of reaching Huoteng City within two months was not difficult in his opinion!

In fact, this is indeed the case, although Luo Ming's situation actually became more dangerous after passing through the Red Lotus Canyon, because when he got here, he had reached the edge of Jia Long's power range, perhaps closer to Huoteng City, But every target encountered along the way is basically an enemy, so this does not seem to be a long journey, but it is the most difficult one.

In fact, many of the demons sent out together with Luo Ming have basically entered the final stage of the journey after more than a month of long-distance travel, but most of these demons are already at the end of their battles.

This is a very normal result, as the old saying goes, it is not unreasonable to go all out, then decline again, and then exhaust three times. Luo Ming, the demons sent by Forbeck, set off from their own territory and trek all the way. I have traveled one to two hundred miles or even two to three hundred miles. This journey only needs one sentence, but in fact, how can it be as easy as imagined?
It is no exaggeration to say that after more than a month, at least half of the demons sent by Forbeck died along the way. These demons may have encountered difficult opponents on the way forward, Or they were blocked by Jia Long, in short, they all died; as for most of the remaining people, they couldn't reach Huoteng or Fengma City within the time specified by Forbeck, because although these demons had already entered In the second half of the journey, they are already at the end of their strength, and there are not many troops left in their hands. If they are lucky, they will reach their destination sooner or later. If they are unlucky, they may die on the way.

Among the demons sent by Forbeck, only a very small number can persist until the end. These demons are the real elites. Instead of being defeated by the suffering along the way, these elites have become more and more courageous as they fought. Arrive at the destination within the specified time, and let the troops you lead grow like a snowball, and when you finally reach the destination, one person can stand up to three or four demons who perform the same task!

Luo Ming is obviously one of these elites who persevered to the end!
Now he has 5000 troops in his hands, and he has already passed through the most difficult Red Lotus Canyon, and if there is no accident, he only needs to walk another ten days to reach Huoteng City !

Theoretically speaking, the ten-day journey is not easy, because according to the route Luo Ming set for himself, in these ten days, he must conquer the territory of at least four demons, because these demons are all Jia Long's subordinates. If Luo Ming hadn't replenished his troops at Zitong, then this journey would have been difficult for Luo Ming, who had just experienced a great battle, but now it was different. Now Luo Ming's men were strong and strong, and the four demons along the way, What is the big devil to him?
So along the way, Luo Ming can be said to have passed the test, commanding the army to flatten four territories one after another as if entering no one's land, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to reach Huoteng City!

On this day, Luo Ming, who was riding on the ghost horse, was in a good mood, and so were Jill, Ming Yun and others beside him, because they could reach Huoteng City in three days' journey, and as long as they arrived at Huoteng City, they would be lucky. Even if the task assigned by Erbeck is completed, completing this task is not just as simple as it seems on the surface, because people like Luo Ming have passed through the trials and tribulations along the way. I don’t know how many battles they have won and how many good enemies they have eliminated. This is all merit!And after the task is completed, these achievements will be rewarded according to their merits!

Therefore, when they were about to reach Huoteng City, the group of people were in a good mood. They knew that there would be no enemies if they went further. Although the journey would take three days, these three days were just time.

However, at noon of this day, when Luo Ming and others were happy, a small army suddenly appeared in the distance!
This troop was composed entirely of light cavalry, and the leader rode an uncommon mount on his crotch, and came straight to Luo Ming after appearing.

The appearance of this small army made Luo Ming frown directly.

enemy?

It doesn't look like it.

And just when he was wondering, this light cavalry unit had reached nearly a thousand, and Luo Ming also saw clearly the leader of this light cavalry.

"This... isn't this the Red Devil?"

Seeing the appearance of being invited, Luo Ming was a little surprised, because he knew this person, and he was one of Barbara's soul guards, the Red Devil!
"The front is Lord Luo Ming!"

And when Luo Ming saw the other party clearly, the red devil under Babala had already rushed to nearly a thousand. When he saw Luo Ming, he immediately yelled:
"Lord Luo Ming! Come with me! Master Barbara is in an emergency at the front!!"
