Chapter 677: A hard fight in Howling Canyon!
"Why did you stay?"
"You didn't leave either?"
The Ogryn boarman and the blind murloc looked at each other, and knowing smiles appeared on their ugly faces at the same time.
The two walked forward side by side, neither too far nor too close to Youwei.
After seeing off 80% of the soldiers who decided to leave, the remaining 20% followed Youwei into the depths of the Demon Realm.
He did not use flying boats or other means of transportation like Evelina and Murphy, nor did he travel as fast as General Austin.
Just simply walking.
He walked leisurely, just like an old man taking a walk in the park after dinner.
The twenty or so soldiers not only had no objection to this, but they thought it was very reasonable.
After all, Youwei didn't tell them that the destination was the Howling Canyon in the middle of the Demon Realm.
It just means that we should continue to go deeper, kill demons and accumulate military merits.
This aimless way of walking, like strolling along the river, would not arouse anyone's suspicion at all.
Seeing that the new leader was still as brave as before and was fighting against a group of demons by himself, the soldiers gradually relaxed their vigilance.
Gradually, no one bothered to pay attention to the methods used by the summoned creatures to kill demons, and they started chatting about trivial things.
The way to accumulate military merit in the Overlord Army is mainly based on the number of demons killed by an individual.
If the new leader named "Youwei" was a soldier who had already obtained the 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 in the Overlord Army.
For new recruits, no matter how much military merit they accumulate in the first battle, it will eventually be accumulated to the entire attacking team.
Unless he single-handedly destroyed the demon's lair or killed the demon prince, he would have made great achievements and attracted the attention of the Overlord Council.
Otherwise, no matter how many demons are killed, the military merit will be shared equally among everyone.
The soldiers who stayed behind naturally wanted to kill more demons and earn more military merits.
It's just that at the moment, 'Youwei' doesn't give them any chance at all, so they can relax and have some free time.
The topic of the chat went around and around and soon returned to the devil.
"Hiss... I always feel that there are many more terrifying demons today than in the past..."
"Yes, in the past, the outskirts of the Demon Realm were mostly inhabited by filthy and corrupted demons and howling demons, with a few three-headed hellhounds appearing occasionally. What happened today? Did they poke the lair of the terror demons?"
"Wow, that bull-headed giant turtle has crushed another row of them. This killing efficiency is unmatched..."
"Hey, the more skilled you are, the more courageous you are. Have you ever seen anyone dare to hang up a howling demon and use it as bait?"
"That's right. We are all sneaky in the Demon Realm, but this new guy is so blatant, afraid that the demons won't be able to find his tracks..."
"Speaking of which, this new guy is really lucky. He is so arrogant, but he has not attracted the attention of the Demon Prince. Could it be that today is the 'safe period' outside the Demon Realm, so he can do whatever he wants?"
"Safety, you bastard! I guess the Golden Boots player is holding back the Demon Realm's center and interior. We're lucky and just happened to catch up..."
"Speaking of which... there's something wrong with the surrounding environment, right? It seems we have left the outer area and entered the middle of the Demon Realm?"
While they were chatting, a soldier finally noticed that something was wrong around him and raised questions.
"The broken rock patches are gradually becoming fewer. Damn, it seems we have really entered the middle..."
"Should we remind the new guy? If we go further in, we will reach a place that only bronze-shoe warriors can barely handle!"
Youwei seemed to have heard the soldiers' discussion, and he stopped and turned around:
"Everyone, I just used the teleportation crystal to locate General Murphy's position and found that we are very close to them."
"Since we are all accumulating military merits by killing demons, why not get 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.
The soldiers looked at each other.
Although entering the central part 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 risky.
Rather than driving the airship back alone,
It is better to follow the new boss and meet up with Murphy's warriors.
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 in chaos!
Fire bombs, ice spikes, molten lava, lasers...
Various attacks weave into a chaotic landscape within the canyon.
The roars of the warriors and the howls of the demons intertwined to form a frenzied melody.
"Rahmu, where are all your big number calculations? Where's the 60% power you promised?!"
"Do you think it's 60% now? I think it's 80% done!"
Evelina held a small bottle of unfinished stamina potion in her mouth. She swung her staff and fired two wind blades. She looked exhausted.
After the entrance to the canyon was blasted by Lahem, although the number of terrifying demons that poured out was not large, there were quite a lot of other demons.
Moreover, their levels are all above level 80, making them very difficult to deal with.
Only Murphy and Austin who have reached level 100 can hold on.
Evelina, Lahem and a group of soldiers were completely trapped in a tough battle.
Fortunately, they don't have to bear the pressure of confronting the devil head-on.
Otherwise, he would have died long ago after several violent attacks.
"My calculations cannot be wrong. There must be something wrong with the reference data..." Lahem's six mechanical eyes each stared in a different direction, and his twelve laser cannon barrels fired continuously.
From time to time, miniature missiles as thick as arms would drag red flames and explode in areas where demons were densely populated.
"At present, our success rate in destroying the lair of the Terror Demon is still over 60%. If we hold on for another five minutes and thirty-two seconds, a turning point will appear soon."
"Hold on for another five minutes?!" Evelina cursed and swore:
"Isn't your profession [Weapons Expert]?"
"Can't we just use a powerful weapon to blow up the demon's nest?!"
"Do we have to follow your exact 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 chances of successfully destroying the Terror's lair will drop sharply to 12.5%."
"Patience, beautiful lady."
"If you need, I can tell you a tension-busting joke. The Eldar version, of course."
