#92 - Chapter 92 Legendary Lava Lord
“...”
Wu Wei walked through the teleportation gate, looking at the scorched demon corpses scattered on the ground before him, and fell into deep thought.
“This is, a big trouble.”
Originally, a true monster suddenly appeared in the underground kingdom ten minutes ago, attacked Wu Wei's territory, and confronted the forces he left behind.
And this monster couldn't even be considered a creature.
Because it didn't have a conventional biological flesh and blood body.
It was a fire elemental!
However, unlike the fire elementals summoned by those elemental mages, the fire elemental that had just appeared in Wu Wei's territory and wreaked havoc was the most supreme Legendary Lava Elemental Lord in the fire elemental family!
The strength of a single Lava Elemental Lord was around the Legendary stage, a genuine Legendary creature!
However, it should be noted that the term 'Legendary' here refers to ability, not monster level.
In the Age of Lords, Legendary creatures and Legendary Lords refer to Lords and creatures possessing Legendary abilities, which has nothing to do with their levels.
For example, some creatures, such as purebred unicorn foals, are only level one at birth.
However, because they possess the Legendary ability 'Magic Breaking Horn' from level one, even level one unicorn foals are considered Legendary creatures.
The same applies to Lords.
As long as a Lord possesses Legendary abilities, regardless of their own level or the level of their territory, they will be considered Legendary level.
Therefore, this Legendary Lava Elemental Lord, because it possesses the Legendary skill 'Heart of Flame,' is a genuine Legendary creature.
And its specific level is 56.
A number that made Wu Wei even more despondent than the word 'Legendary'.
In comparison, Wu Wei's strongest, and also the highest-level unit he dared not recruit too many of, was the level 47 Giant Demon.
The level difference between the two sides was 9 levels.
In other words, while Wu Wei himself was using units that were at least two eras ahead of others to wreak havoc, that Legendary Lava Lord was using abilities that were one era ahead of Wu Wei to wreak havoc on his territory!
Moreover, the opponent was a Legendary creature with Legendary abilities.
“...”
Looking at his several completely burned-down mines, looking at the demon slave laborers who had been burned to ashes by the flames, Wu Wei felt his heart bleeding.
Because Wu Wei was already “poor” due to constantly exporting wars.
And now, that Legendary Lava Lord who suddenly appeared in his territory and wreaked havoc made his poverty almost lose the quotation marks.
It became true poverty.
However, that Legendary Lava Lord didn't appear out of thin air.
Led by the imp mother who had already returned, Wu Wei arrived near a huge cave that was still burning.
The depths of this cave pointed to an active volcanic area.
And its extension direction pointed to the location of the Seed of the Abyss.
In other words...
“No wonder the system warned me after planting the Seed of the Abyss that I would be besieged.”
Wu Wei scratched his scalp and said indifferently.
“So, the siege I'm facing doesn't only come from those Lords, but also from the [Hidden Forces] in the Lord's Trial.”
Hidden forces refer to some inactive but indeed existing forces in many planes in the Age of Lords.
When countless Lords conquer outwards, conquering one plane after another, they often encounter some special forces that do not exist in the regular forces, and they are collectively called hidden forces.
However, these hidden forces are also strong and weak, and the difference between their upper and lower limits is even greater than the talent gap between people.
A weaker hidden force may very well be a secluded small village that has mastered one or two special abilities.
They are so weak that the Lord may accidentally destroy them in the fight with other forces.
And some stronger hidden forces may be the true rulers of a plane or a world, shadow governments, and the like.
These stronger hidden forces are often the real resistance to the Lords' conquest of the plane.
And many Lords often capsize under the sneak attacks of these hidden forces.
For example, once a Lord tried to conquer a human plane that seemed to be only at the medieval level, but later accidentally led out the hidden vampire bigwigs in this plane.
These hidden vampire bigwigs are a branch family of the top ten families in the vampire world, and this plane is their "garden world" for retirement and rest.
They rely on their abilities to secretly control this plane, and then immerse themselves in almost endless sleep.
Therefore, when the Lord's iron hooves woke up the group of old things, the Lord's end need not be said much.
It is said that the vampire clan's morning sickness can be compared with that of a dragon.
All in all, the existence of hidden forces in a plane is often a bad thing for those Lords.
Because that often means that the difficulty of conquest increases sharply.
But relatively, some easily conquered hidden forces can bring unexpected surprises to the Lords.
It's just that Wu Wei's luck doesn't seem to be that good.
Because this Legendary Lava Lord is not here to give Wu Wei unexpected gains, he is here to help Wu Wei have accidents....
“But it's not too bad, at least most of the territory and resource production areas have been preserved.”
Wu Wei checked his losses, and the frown on his brow couldn't help but relax.
At least this attack by the Legendary Lava Lord didn't completely destroy Wu Wei's underground kingdom.
Of course, this is by no means due to any benevolence or the like.
It was because Wu Wei directly mobilized a large number of demons gathered nearby after discovering that he had begun to destroy his territory, and successfully stopped it.
But remember, this is just stopping, not killing him.
A level 56 Legendary Lava Lord, even without the fire elementals around him, is not an object that Wu Wei can easily solve.
The reason why he was successfully blocked by Wu Wei also has another reason.
That is, the Lava Lord, as a mutated form of fire elemental elves, does not like to leave his lava lair too far.
Once it leaves the lava lair too far, its power itself will also be weakened.
So, after seeing Wu Wei put up a desperate resistance, this Legendary Lava Lord followed the cave he came from and returned to the volcanic area where he lived.
But this is just the first attack.
To be precise, this is a test by this Legendary Lava Lord.
“The other party will not give up.”
Wu Wei glanced at the Seed of the Abyss, which still had 18 days to hatch completely.
“As long as the Seed of the Abyss continues to build a channel connecting to the main body of the Infinite Abyss, then this Legendary Lava Lord will definitely not give up the plan to attack.”
“I must come up with a corresponding strategy before his next wave of attacks arrives.”
Although there is only one Legendary Lava Lord, Wu Wei can rely on a massive number of demons to forcibly drown him.
But the problem is that this cunning monster will bring a large number of fire elementals with him when attacking.
These elemental creatures are also extremely terrifying in their efficiency in killing demons.
Therefore, Wu Wei's attempt to use sheer numbers to stop the Legendary Lava Lord's repeated attacks is destined to fail.
Because this Legendary Lava Lord's attack will consume a large number of Wu Wei's troops.
These losses are not a small number.
Moreover, in order to prevent the next attack from directly destroying the entire underground kingdom Wu Wei possesses, Wu Wei, seeking stability, also suspended the external expansion.
This kind of internal friction of only outflow and no inflow will eventually drag Wu Wei down.
Don't forget that after Wu Wei withdraws his troops, those Lords who have a chance to breathe will not let him go.
“....”
Faced with this situation, Wu Wei currently does not have too many good ways to break the situation.
However, Wu Wei did not think for too long before an idea came to him.
However, no matter who hears this idea, they will feel a little crazy.
————————————
“Give me the attack!”
Wu Wei called back all the heroes under his banner and issued a new combat order to them.
“Give me all the power that can be used to advance towards the volcanic area with all our strength!”
“Don't care how many troops will die, and don't care how many casualties there will be along the way, your only task is to advance the front line to the volcanic area for me.”
“I want to drag this monster out of the lava in its lair, and then let it watch itself drown little by little in the lava it is familiar with.”
Hearing Wu Wei's order, whether it was the imp mother Caroline, or the magic sword Hendricks, even the plague twins, these siblings, did not quite understand.
But not understanding is not understanding.
These demon hero units did not refute Wu Wei, but resolutely carried out his plan.
Because no matter how crazy his plan is, the order of the Abyss Lord, with the endorsement of the Abyss Code, is the iron law of the entire Abyss.
But Wu Wei is not crazy.
On the contrary, after this Legendary Lava Lord attacked, he saw an opportunity.
An opportunity to recruit a level 50 warrior, a Legendary Balrog, in the Abyss Hatchery!
The best way to restrain an uncontrollable fire is to make the fire burn more completely, burning all the combustibles it can reach in advance!
