Chapter 187 Red Dragon Clash

Under the dark red sky, there will never be dawn on the battlefield of Avernus. Flames and smoke fill the air, while the ground is filled with broken bodies torn apart by swords and battle axes.

The roars of battle and the screams of death intertwined to form a picture of hell where devils and demons caroused together. Towering flames spurted out from the cracks in hell, and demon lords wearing heavy armor wreaked havoc on the battlefield. Every time the battle ax falls, a creature will die tragically. The battle is in full swing, and there is no distinction between friend and foe.

Although the true victory of the bloody battle is always far away, the demons' bloodthirsty and desire for destruction still drives them to continue fighting in this endless bloody battle until death drags their broken souls back to the depths of the bottomless abyss again.

Viewed from the air, the battlefield that has invaded the hinterland of Avernus is like a huge meat grinding ground. Fire demons and hellhounds roar on the ground, while flying demons draw arc after arc in the sky, throwing Laying down alchemical bombs and flames, the demons brandished huge weapons and launched charges again and again against the shattered and reorganized defense lines that the demons had been beaten time and time again.

And further away in the depths of Avernus, countless devil armies gathered from sentry posts ten miles away, and then like army ants, small groups formed squadrons, squadrons formed large groups, and the large groups eventually formed a thousand-man army. The army, led by the devil generals, quickly rushed to the defensive positions assigned by their superiors, quickly assessed the surrounding terrain and then dug traps on the spot to construct a new line of defense.

"Colin! Have you figured out where this demon came from?"

On a dark red highland, Dargos, one of the Eight Dark Demon Generals named Arrogance and Contempt, has urged this key battlefield information countless times.

But this time, Colin, who was always between silence and madness, finally responded impatiently:

"The devils that were spread out on the front line have been discovered. There is a big hole in the ground about 13,000 kilometers away from the Bronze Fortress defense line."

"Tunnel dug by demons?" Dargos seemed a little disbelieving when these demons started to grow brains.

But the tributaries of the underground Styx are changing almost every moment, which is an almost impossible task for the well-ordered devils.

Could it be that there is another difficult guy coming from the other side of the abyss, such as from the Dark Lord Graz'zt, the most devil-like demon king?

"I don't know, but according to my intuition, it's more like they were squeezed in from there. You also know that since the lady opened the second battlefield last year, those demons started going crazy like maggots smelling shit. Coming forward, they were blocked by the bronze fortress, and the road to the sky was too narrow, just like an anal fistula, porphyrin was squeezed out from below."

"Damn it Colin, you're still as disgusting as ever!"

The other person responded with a burst of laughter that was half gloating and half crazy.

Dagos was silent for a while, then said: "I need military support! Only then can I have a chance to destroy that tunnel."

"Oh, old man, this is your defense zone. If something like this happens, you have to go to Bayer to discuss it."

"Kamoserkas!" Dagos interrupted the magic communication unluckily.

As the Eight Demon Generals, he certainly knows that the troops in Baator Hell are always in a tight state. As long as there is no big gap in the bronze fortress, or strategic places such as the Place of Torment and the Lair of Maggots are threatened by destruction, The various defense zones of Baator Hell will not easily undergo major changes.

Because no one knows whether this is a 'genius idea' that came from a certain demon lord, and whether such a large-scale deployment of troops will lead to a more severe war situation.

Anyway, although the current situation has passed for a long time, before Bair came to power, under the leadership of the radical Grand Duke Zariel, and even further back when Tiamat was the Grand Duke, Avernus was beaten into a sieve. , it is normal to always be pulled between defense in depth and major counterattack.

Today's war with bronze fortresses as the main line of defense belongs to a period of "great peace" that is rare in bloody wars.

Therefore, even if Evilscale Fortress is attacked, this is a situation that Tiamat and her vassals should deal with.

But only I, as one of the Eight Demon Generals, know that from eternity ago to the present, the Eight Dark Demon Generals are not so-called immortal. On the contrary, the deaths of their members are quite regular. They either die on the battlefield or As a result of internal fighting, the dead general's successor is quickly chosen, with the other members tacitly concealing the truth. Each new pit fiend adopts the name of the deceased and reshapes it as needed. one's own appearance to take over the position of one's predecessor.

In fact, apart from the 'hypocritical and taciturn' Balzefen, he is the only surviving founding member of the Eight Dark Demons. Like him, the devil under the name of 'Dagos of Pride and Contempt', the 'Core' I don’t know how many changes have been made.

‘Should we take this risk? ’ Dargos was almost certain that whether the demons did it intentionally or unintentionally, they would attach great importance to this ‘tunnel’ leading directly to the hinterland of Avernus, and there would definitely be more than one demon lord guarding it at all costs.

For this decision concerning life and reputation, Dagoth stood like a statue on this highland for twenty-three days.

Just when the battle line was pushed less than five miles in front of the demon army like a bloody millstone, and the criss-crossed battlefield stretched to the point where the edges could not be seen, a harsh and low roar broke the anxiety on the battlefield, and a car was quickly approaching. The 'chariot' near this bloody battlefield has become the new focus on the battlefield.

"Soul train?" Dagos looked at the train resolutely heading towards the battlefield with some disbelief. He wondered where the courage of these devils on duty who drove the train came from.

But it’s understandable, because many times, once you’ve ‘witnessed’ a bloody battle with your own eyes, you might have rushed into the battlefield without knowing it, and you might not be able to get out even if you turn around.

If placed on a physical plane like Ellaria, the appearance of Soul Train would be absolutely unsettling and frightening.

Its entire body is made of dark Hell Iron and twisted steel, and its body is engraved with strange runes and demon statues. The head of the train is in the shape of a ferocious devil's head, and the windows of the train are thick iron bars. Tangled with chains and spikes, the entire train looks like an imprisoned monster.

In fact, the Soul Train has been deployed as a chariot on the battlefield of bloody battles since the creation of Hell.

It was once a perfect symbol of hell, carrying endless fear and pain through the bloody battlefield, delivering reinforcements and supplies to the tragic front line as soon as possible.

However, due to the almost paranoid pursuit of its designer, the amount of souls consumed by it at full speed was too terrifying. It had reached the point where the number of newly born lemures began to decrease year by year, so that it had to be replaced in a certain Avernus. The Grand Duke lowered it to its current position as a truck during the Hajj. Every time it was left for a while, a soul shell was thrown in, allowing it to pull the supplies that an army could transport. In this way, it was in line with the situation of squeezing out all the goods in hell. Exquisite style.

But soon, not only the devil general Dagos, but also the devils on the edge of the battlefield began to notice that this soul train was unusual.

It threw away all the cargo boxes, leaving only a rough chariot front running on the disrepaired railway track, and on the soul furnace, there were at least eight dragons of various colors lying full, and other dragons His eyes were full of fear, only a red dragon stood facing the wind, with its scarlet wings spread out, one leg on the front of the car, looking down at the bloody battlefield in front of him with arrogance.

It's just that this kind of almost overbearing [arrogance] often doesn't last long, and he will vomit like crazy in a 'YUE' moment.

What it vomited out was not food, but the soul shell that he had swallowed beforehand.

So every time the red dragon vomited and the soul shell was poured into the soul furnace, the train's machine began to roar, spewing black smoke and flames from the gaps in the car body, and the devil statue on the train seemed to be flashing scarlet eyes. .

Its wheels, which were no longer round and regular, kept wearing out on the track, making a blood-curdling scream.

So when David's open wings sprayed out four flames like rocket engines at the same time, the train finally exceeded the speed for which it was originally designed and reached almost the theoretical speed of the vacuum tube maglev train - 1224 kilometers per hour. .

A cone-shaped sonic boom cloud began to appear on the front of the ferocious devil car.

Then the soul chariot, which was already faintly red, derailed without any accident.

He rushed straight and wildly into the wave of demons that were being bombarded by bolides.

At that moment, the sudden explosion of blood curtain and the subsequent sound of collision of steel shook the entire bloody battlefield.

The demons who were the first to avoid it or excitedly tried to stop it were scattered like fallen leaves before the autumn wind under the impact of this steel.

But in David's eyes, it was a bit like a drifting boat swooping down from a water slide in an amusement park, except that it splashed rain all over the sky and was filled with smelly flesh and blood.

【arrogant】

Almost instantly, the entire soul train and all the 'passengers' on it were covered with a layer of blood-colored cassocks.

No matter what color the dragon was before, it has become a 'red dragon'.

"Wow wow wow. Cough cough cough!" Only Lizlit, who was also a real red dragon, felt an unprecedented excitement and 'freedom'. Just when she opened her mouth, she was filled with the smelly blood curtain. A full stomach.

Just suddenly rushing into the tide of demons, the Soul Train, which was already traveling at supersonic speed, seemed to rush into a muddy swamp, and its speed began to drop sharply, from the original 1224 kilometers to 700 kilometers, 400, 200, and 90!

Reached the limit!

So the demons who came back to their senses began to actively rush toward the train, including some large demons comparable to the size of Ultraman monsters, such as Balor Balrog and even Demon Lords.

It seems that they are interested in these dragons who dare to drive into the bloody battlefield. It would be a good choice to capture them and transform them into abyss dragons.

"Hold on tight! The next trip will be a little bumpy." David warned with a low growl.

"Huh?" The giant dragon and its two relatives, including Dragon Father Atilicia, were all confused.

Isn't that bumpy enough?

But he still clung to the carriage tightly according to his survival instinct.

David, whose eyes were full of excitement and madness, wrapped his tail around the control lever of the Soul Train and pulled it sharply at 90 degrees. The entire body of the car drifted in place on the battlefield filled with corpses and pools of blood, bypassing the swarming demons ahead. Tide, and then "vampire survivors" staged on this bloody battlefield of Avernus.

In short, rush towards wherever the demons are sparse, and try to stay as far away from those high-level demons and demon lords as possible.

The general direction is towards the Devil's defense line.

"Fight!!!" David, who was lying on the Soul Forge, had his claws scratching out piercing fireworks on the battlefield of Avernus.

The fine or rough lower plane weapons scattered around began to melt together with the sticky blood, and finally condensed into David's claws. Two four-meter-long hell iron swords took shape, and suddenly stood up.

Driving a chariot covered with blood scabs, using the huge inertial potential energy, he was like Lu Bu riding a red rabbit horse and driving an unparalleled car in "Dynasty Warriors". He swept it with a sword, just like the sickle in the field. Like a neat field of leeks, it is invincible all the way.

That [arrogant] demeanor that disregarded bloody battles instantly caught the eye of Dagos, who was known as 'arrogant and contemptuous':

"Which warrior under the Demon General is this so brave?"

So that the other dragons who were also fighting desperately were dwarfed by comparison.

Seeing a mad war demon rushing towards the train, White Dragon Mephiele was frightened for the second time and almost pissed himself. He spat out a mouthful of ice dragon breath, and it was as if it was launched in advance and covered his head. All over the face.

"If the dragon's breath is not powerful, don't breathe in front, idiot!" Alphonse, who was also affected, cursed angrily, and then he and his black dragon sister Viola kept spitting acid breath towards both sides.

Dragon sister Tanya, under the cover of her father Atilicia, saves her magic power and uses just the right spells to help David deal with some demons that he can't take care of.

At this time, the demon Yolanda, Zolshiat, and the barbarian Luxinder, who only knew how to fight in close combat, became embarrassed and could only deal with some vulture-headed monsters that were already lying on the train or even swooping towards them. Flood.

But soon, Demon General Dargos discovered something was wrong. According to the opponent's marching route, he was not here to join the battle at all. Instead, he took advantage of the bloody battlefield to try to break into the temporary defense line constructed by his own troops, and immediately left. Angry, he ordered in a low voice:

"Red dragon warriors who broke into the bloody battlefield, in the name of Dargos, the commander of the Sixth Legion of Baator Hell and the Eight Demons of Hell, I commandeer your soul train. I order you to immediately leave my defense line and head northeast. Launch a charge, detonate the soul train, and blow up the tunnel from which the demons of the abyss emerge. After that, I will use the power of the Demon General to elevate your soul and become a demon of the abyss."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence on the battlefield, and all the devils showed incredulous, envious eyes.

Hell refining demon!

That is the final form that all devils can theoretically advance to!

And such an opportunity to reach the sky in one step was actually bumped into by a red dragon cub?

It's just that completing that incredible task is also as difficult as reaching the sky.

But David just looked at this so-called Eight Demon General with an idiot's eyes, and still rushed towards the devil's defense line without hesitation.

Do you think I will die if I don’t go out? Is the person listening to you at this time stupid or stupid?

Hell refining demon? Who cares so much?

This kind of disregard that was almost [arrogant] made Dagosi's anger almost boil:

"Breaking into the defense line of the devil's army is a capital crime."

Seeing the soul train getting closer and closer, Dagos ordered boldly:

“Target, Soul Train, Magic Volley!

"put!"

In an instant, all kinds of destructive spells characteristic of hell were directed towards the soul train where David and the others were.

Under the attention of devils and devils, the red dragon raised its head to face the spells in the sky and clenched its claws.

Following David's action, all the spells that had been shot dissipated in an invisible ripple, and the demons surrounding him were thrown away in all directions like scattered fireworks.

Nine-ring force field protection magic——[Binding Release Technique]

Seeing that the devil general was about to wave again, David took a deep look at him and pulled the control lever to make a 90-degree U-turn:

"Dagos, right? Just wait for me!"

【fury】

Dagos was watching this stupid red dragon obediently away from the defense line with some amusement.

But gradually, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because this dragon is not heading toward the northeast.

Instead, it galloped towards the due east.

The end of the East.

It is the flowing River Styx.
