Chapter 677: A tough battle in the Howling Canyon!
"Why did you stay?"
"Aren't you leaving too?"
The Ogryn Boar and the Blind Murloc looked at each other, and knowing smiles appeared on their ugly faces.
The two of them walked forward side by side, not too far or too close to Youwei.
After sending away the 80% of the soldiers who decided to leave, the remaining 20% followed Youwei towards the depths of the Demon Realm.
They did not use flying boats and other means of transportation like Evelina and Murphy, nor did they rush on their way like General Austin.
Just simply walking,
He looked unhurried, like an old man walking in the park after dinner.
Not only did the more than 20 soldiers have no objections to this, but they actually thought it was very reasonable.
After all, 'Youwei' didn't explain to them that the destination was the Wailing Canyon in the middle of the Demon Realm.
He just said that he should continue to go deeper, kill demons and accumulate military merit.
This way of walking aimlessly like walking along the river will not arouse anyone's suspicion at all.
Seeing that the new boss was still as brave as before, holding off the demons with one person, the vigilance of the soldiers gradually relaxed.
Gradually, they didn't bother to pay attention to the methods of summoning objects to kill demons, and started talking about Xian Tian.
The way to accumulate military merit within the Overlord Army is mainly based on the number of demons an individual kills.
If the new boss named 'Youwei' was a soldier who had already obtained iron boots, everyone might not be as relaxed as they are now.
But the good thing is that he is just a newcomer.
There is an unwritten rule within the Overlord Army.
For newcomers who have just joined, no matter how many military merits they accumulate in the first battle, they will eventually be accumulated to the entire attacking team.
Unless he single-handedly destroys the demon lair or kills the demon prince, accomplishes a miraculous feat and attracts the attention of the Overlord Council.
Otherwise, no matter how many demons are killed, the military merit will still be shared equally among everyone.
The soldiers who stayed behind naturally wanted to kill more demons and earn more military merits.
But right now, 'Youwei' doesn't give them a chance at all, so they just relax.
The topic of small talk went round and round, and soon returned to the devil.
"Hiss... I always feel that there are many more terrors today than in the past..."
"Yeah, in the past, the outer areas of the Demon Realm were mostly dominated by filthy rot demons and roaring demons. Occasionally, a few hellish three-headed dogs would appear. What happened today? Did they stab the Terror Demon's lair?"
"Oh, that bull-headed giant turtle crushed another row to death. This killing efficiency is unparalleled..."
"Hey, people with high skills are brave. How many people have you seen who dare to hang up the roaring demon and use it as bait?"
"Yes, we are all sneaky in the Demon Realm, but this new boss is so blatant, for fear that the demon will not find his traces..."
"It seems that this new boss is very lucky. He is so arrogant and has not attracted the attention of the Demon Prince. Is it possible that today is the 'safe period' outside the Demon Realm, and he can do whatever he wants?"
"Safety, how big are you! I guess the Golden Boot Warlord is trying to contain him in the middle and inside of the Demon Realm. We are lucky and just caught up..."
"By the way...there's something wrong with the surrounding environment, isn't it? We seem to have left the periphery and entered the middle of the Demon Realm?"
During the chat, a soldier finally noticed something was wrong with the surrounding situation and raised questions.
"The broken rock massif is gradually becoming less and less. Damn, it seems that we have really entered the middle..."
"Do you want to remind the new boss? If you go further inside, it will be a realm that only the bronze-shoe warrior can barely cope with!"
‘Youwei’ seemed to have heard the discussion of the soldiers and stopped and turned around:
"Everyone, I just located the location of General Murphy through the teleportation crystal and found that we are very close to them."
"Anyway, we are just killing demons to accumulate military merit. Why not move closer to them? Maybe we can get some extra benefits."
"Of course, if anyone wants to return now, I won't force him to stay."
"Anyway, there are still two airships. If you want to leave, you can leave now."
Having said this, 'Youwei' paused for a moment, waiting for a response.
All the soldiers looked at each other in shock.
Although entering the middle of the Demon Realm made them feel very insecure.
But the positioning crystal showed that they were indeed very close to General Murphy and others.
It's all about taking risks as well.
Instead of flying the airship alone and going back,
It's better to follow the new boss to join General Murphy.
The latter may have a higher safety factor.
Seeing that no one chose to leave, ‘Youwei’ raised his eyebrows:
"Then keep on your way."
at the same time.
Howling Canyon.
The previous peaceful scene was gone, and the entire Howling Canyon was turned into a mess!
Fire bombs, ice spikes, lava, laser...
Various attacks weave into the chaotic landscape of the canyon.
The roars of the warriors intertwined with the roars of the demons, forming a frenzied movement.
"Rachem, where did all your big calculations go? Where is the promised power of more than 60%?!"
"Do you think it's 60% right now? I think it's 80% ready!"
Evelina held a small bottle of unfinished stamina potion in her mouth. She waved her staff and fired two wind blades. Her whole body looked weak.
After the entrance to the canyon was blasted by Lachem, although the number of horrors that emerged from it was not large, there were not many other demons at all.
And all of them are above level 80, making them very difficult to deal with.
Only Murphy and Austin, who have reached level 100, can still hold on.
Evelina, Lahem and a group of soldiers are completely trapped in a tough battle.
Fortunately, they don't have to bear the pressure of confronting the demons head-on.
Otherwise, they would have died long ago under the fierce attacks.
"My calculations are correct. There must be something wrong with the reference data..." Lahem's six mechanical eyes stared in different directions, and the twelve laser guns kept firing.
From time to time, there were micro-missiles as thick as arms, dragging red tail flames, and exploded in places where demons were densely concentrated.
"At present, our success rate of destroying the Terror's lair is still over 60%. If we hold on for another five minutes and thirty-two seconds, a turning point will soon appear."
"Hold on for another five minutes?!" Evelina cursed and swore:
"Isn't your profession [Weapon Expert]?"
"Can't you just rub a high-powered weapon and blow up the lair?!"
"Do we have to follow your precise time? We can only succeed when everyone can't hold on any longer, right?!!"
"General Evelina, I detect that the probability of your misunderstanding is as high as 99.7%." Lahem responded stiffly, without any emotion in his mechanical voice:
"If we follow your plan, our success rate of destroying the Terror's lair will drop sharply to 12.5%"
"Patience, beautiful lady."
"If you need, I can tell you a joke to relieve tension, of course, the Eldar version."
