Chapter 110 War Preparations and Balor Balrog

Chapter 110 "War preparations and Balor Balrog"

"Tip: The ninth round of the trial is over, and you will be rewarded with 5,000 points of general experience, and an additional reward of a special rare object—the Abyss Obelisk, with 1 expertise point."

"Special reminder: The bloody battle in the secondary abyss begins!"

The moment the prompt sounded, the Devil's Obelisk turned into nothingness just like the previous Devil's Obelisk. At the same time, a pocket obelisk fell into Qiao Yang's hand. The detailed abyssal writing was more exquisite than any miniature carving. Unique anti-counterfeiting logo.

Of course, this is not important. Although the devil's obelisk disappeared, the portal that had expanded to one hundred and fifty feet remained. The deep blood dyed the sky above the Tomb of the Three-masted Ship red, endless The aura of chaos spreads to the nascent sea, as if something unknown is about to descend across endless time and space.

"Everyone, get out, quickly!"

Qiao Yang's reaction speed was the fastest. He was the only one who had been watching the movement of the portal. As soon as the mutation appeared, he directly issued the order without a trace of hesitation.

The crew members are not fools. They left the dilapidated Blood Altar as early as the mutation occurred. Moreover, Marquis had previously stated that something big would happen at the end of the ninth round. What's more, because of Nasreen, they all He ran far away, and the speed of evacuation at this time was extremely fast.

"Kill those abyssal bastards!"

"I want to use their heads as urinals, hahaha~"

"Disgusting slime, you are so shameless!"

"Our lord is short of lust demon toys again. He kills more than ten of them every day. This time we will catch a few more."

Countless noisy voices came from behind the portal, including Infernal Language and Abyssal Language. Even before they met, they had already started talking trash to each other, and the curses were quite dirty. Qiao Yang couldn't help but show a speechless expression. Maybe this is part of the bloody battle?

Just as he was thinking, the portal split into two, with one side being dark red and the other side being crimson. The filthy aura suddenly stirred up, and as waves of rippling lines appeared, the overwhelming devils and demons officially arrived.

At the same time, a brand new reminder sounded in Qiao Yang's ears.

"Two independent camps are detected, and the adventurer's forces are automatically classified into the Nine Hells. The optional tasks are changed. When the abyss camp is successfully repelled, this trial is deemed to have been successfully passed."

As a harmless and filthy aura covered them, all the non-devil crew members belonging to the Black Candle Fleet changed in appearance. At least in appearance, they were no different from devils. Even the most essential soul breath changed. Change, even the devil who knows the devil best cannot find any difference.

Obviously, this is the preferential treatment given to Qiao Yang by the rules of the Endless Sea. Since the trial mission has been forced to start, it is naturally impossible to let him die, so there is this layer of identity cover-up.

In addition, there is the division of camps. It may be because Qiao Yang has many devil crew members, so they are automatically divided into the Nine Hell camp. They only need to assist the devil army to repel the abyss demons. Even if they pass the trial, the difficulty has been reduced again. Quite a few.

Theoretically speaking, as long as he does not seek death, then with the power of his masters, it is not a problem at all to become the straw that changes the balance.

It can only be said that Qiao Yang got a big advantage this time, because the Sea of ​​Birth is a place for screening newcomers, so according to the logic of the world's rules, there will be no fatal crisis. It may be a bit more difficult, but there is definitely a way to pass. , the preferential treatment he gets now is the result of balance.

If his behavior today were placed in the Endless Sea, when the secondary bloody battle began, there was a high probability that he and a group of crew members would be thrown directly into the middle of the bloody battle, allowing someone to feel the fear of facing the armies of the two evil camps. Get some preferential treatment? Impossible, there is everything in the dream.

As the filthy aura dissipated, everyone's appearance changed.

Including Qiao Yang, all the crew members have transformed into various forms of devils. Without exception, the members of the core team all have the appearance of high-level devils, the crew members with outstanding talents are mid-level devils, and the rest are naturally low-level devils. The devil.

In addition, there are even some crew members who have been transformed into little devils and lemures, because their talents and potentials are all ordinary, and the end of the extraordinary road is the first level, such as several reserve crew members and those shoal murlocs who have not yet completed their bloodline evolution.

It is worth mentioning that Thern transformed into an ice demon again, and that familiar appearance even gave Qiao Yang the illusion of going back half a day ago. This shows that there is indeed something to the identity concealment of the Endless Sea, and it is estimated that no one can see it.

Of course, although their appearance has changed, the core of the crew members is still themselves. This layer of cover-up only prevents their human or marine identities from being too abrupt. They do not have the devil's talent bonus and various innate abilities. If they really want to fight To get up, you have to rely on your own strength. If you have to describe it, it's like everyone is wearing a piece of clothing without attributes. Apart from looking good, it has no use.

After looking around, Qiao Yang found that all the women on the ship had turned into lust demons, which made him dumbfounded. It seemed that even the rules of the Endless Sea recognized their charm.

In addition, there are the main combatants, horned demons, ice demons, bone demons, chain demons, and even hell demons. Many middle and high-level demons come together to exude terrifying pressure, especially Basque, a genuine guy. If you mix it in, it is absolutely impossible to reveal the truth and lies.

"Captain, when will we join the war?"

The incarnation of Marquis is also a hell fiend. Like Qiao Yang and the amphibious fishman leader Sekel, he looks quite intimidating. Of course, his actual combat power is also very different. He is invincible under the legend.

"Wait, let's wait until the second batch of their main forces clash and then blend in. The people fighting now are cannon fodder troops. They are allowed to advance but not retreat. If our group survives, it will be too conspicuous."

Qiao Yang gave the order. When he first learned the two languages ​​of Abyss and Purgatory, he learned about the common sense of the two outer planes and some unpopular knowledge, including the most famous Abyss. bloody battle.

Although the current battle was a secondary bloody battle, the process was actually very different from a real bloody battle, but it was not that complicated. It was limited to one battlefield at most, and he was sure that he could get the maximum benefit from it.

Fight back from the abyss? That's just not his character.

Looking at the cannon fodder army that was about to attack together, Qiao Yang pondered for a moment, and then made a plan. At this time, he could not leave the matter to his subordinates. He needed to stand up in person, boost morale, and coordinate the overall situation.

"Everyone listen to the order. Combat professionals of level 3 and above form groups of three. Each group will lead nine level 2 experts. Select a captain and a vice-captain to form a combat team. Follow my orders and wait. Join the battlefield.”

"In addition, the distance between each team should not exceed thirty feet. We guarantee that we can support and help each other at any time. I don't want any of you to die here."

"Finally, the professionals who have not been promoted to the second level form a mopping up team, following the main battle team, responsible for sweeping the battlefield and screening out the fish that have slipped through the net. The logistics personnel retain the original configuration, provide constant medical and food supplies, and stabilize the rear area to avoid anyone with evil intentions. Get close and kill without mercy!"

Qiao Yang's tone paused again, and then he added another sentence.

"If you are confident in your own strength, you can also join the sweep team. After the team is formed, the captain comes to me alone. That's it, take action!"

"Your will!"

The crew members lowered their heads to accept the order. Looking at the shocking scene, their blood began to boil. They had both the will to fight against powerful enemies and the desire to improve their strength. The most important thing is that they did not want to let their captain down. .

In fact, even the bloody battle in the secondary abyss is very terrifying. Even if the scale is limited due to the intervention of the rules of the endless sea, the dangers can be seen with just two eyes. Ordinary people are involved in it. It is just a word of death. If you are unlucky, even death may be a luxury.

But they still chose to obey any order from Qiao Yang without hesitation, for no special reason, just because the man in front of them was their captain!

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand their fanatical worship of Qiao Yang. Even the fanatical believers of most gods may not be able to reach this level. The cohesion of these guys is terrifyingly high.

Five minutes later, four combat teams were quickly formed under Marquis's dispatch. The captains of these teams were also old acquaintances. Marquis and Sisonia each took one of their duties, and then Auri. Ya and Basque, they were more suitable to lead the members of their own tribe, and eventually formed two human teams, a devil team and a sea team. Of course, they were not very pure.

"Captain, the entire team has been assembled. Please give us your orders."

Marquis took a step forward. Even though he transformed into a hell fiend, his face was still expressionless, and his serious look could be vaguely seen.

Looking at the four teams ready to go, the proportion of third-level personnel was much higher than what he requested. However, Qiao Yang did not interfere. He believed in Marquis's arrangement, nodded slightly, and then directly ordered:

"When the bloody battle officially begins, you will find the opportunity to join on your own and try your best to kill the enemy without reducing the number of troops. I will also follow you. In addition, a combat team will be left to guard our camp to protect the logistics from being invaded. Every half hour, withdraw a team for rotation to replenish supplies and rest, and finally, don’t get too hung up on fighting.”

"As you command, Captain!"

None of the four captains had any objections. Qiao Yang's arrangement was quite reasonable. Even they couldn't fault it and could only make some modifications to the details.

There are quite a few crew members under Qiao Yang who have successfully promoted to the third level. If you count the earliest crew members like Triller and Hans, there are about twenty people, and six to eight teams can be formed.

However, after a brief weighing by Marquez and the others, they finally decided to reduce it to the current four teams. In this way, although the number is much smaller, the remaining personnel are definitely the best of the best, and any team can challenge them. The most important thing about the strength of a demon army is that even if it can't defeat it, it can still escape unscathed.

In addition, there are quite a few old crew members who are about to be promoted. They are experienced and powerful. It can be expected that as the battle continues and they gain a lot of killing experience, they will definitely be able to advance!

As long as they persevere, everyone's strength will be greatly improved, which is why Qiao Yang chose to let everyone participate.

If Qiao Yang simply wants to get the reward of the hidden trial, there is no need to make such a big fanfare. Everyone in the core team will go out together. As long as they are not surrounded, they can completely treat the battlefield as nothing. With the support of many supermodels, , absolutely no taboos.

But how could Qiao Yang let go of the fat he was talking about? He didn't want the fleet's strength configuration to be top-heavy. If only the members of the core team were strong and the remaining ordinary crew members were average, maybe there would be no problem at all in the short term and they could even be relied on. Marquez and others gain a lot of benefits from their powerful strength.

But for the development of a force, this is an extremely unfavorable thing. The middle and lower levels rely too much on the combat power of the upper levels, and the result will inevitably be collapse. A foundation that is not deep cannot support a Tower of Babel. Outside the core team, The crew is the foundation he focuses on building.

Now the opportunity has come. A secondary abyss bloody battle triggered by a trial has been limited in scale. In Qiao Yang's eyes, this is not a terrifying monster, it is just a pile of walking experience.

If this battle is successful, he is 100% sure to cultivate the backbone of the Black Candle fleet. This is the cornerstone of future development and there is no room for sloppiness.

Qiao Yang is different from others. He is indeed calm in the sea of ​​​​birth, but there are many "people" who care about him, and they all probably want his life. He cherishes his life.

If we assume the worst outcome, he is likely to face more than one legendary powerhouse, so every remaining day of the trial cannot be wasted.

So he chose to take a risk, and with many entries from Fengling Yueying to back him up, he was not afraid of losing the bet at all. Tell me how the Flying Dragon Rider lost!

In addition, for this unprecedented battle, Qiao Yang also made secondary preparations based on the situation, that is, a mopping up team following the main force.

The remaining combat forces on the ship are gathered here. They are also reserve combat forces. Since nearly half of the originally planned teams are missing, many second-tier crew members have been eliminated.

Of course, no matter how the plan changes, the mopping up team will not join the frontal battlefield.

The members of the main battle team will not remain the same. As the battle situation changes, injuries and other complex reasons, people here will be transferred to the team at any time. According to the information Qiao Yang knows, a secondary abyss bloody battle lasts the shortest time. It will not be less than half a day, nor more than two days, so he has enough time for everyone to enjoy the dividends of this war. It is about determining his future development, and no one can stop him.

Taking into account some of the crew members who were limited by their talents, Qiao Yang also made a list in his mind. Even when cultivating the backbone, there are priorities, and those with low talents must be ranked lower.

It's not that he is indifferent, but it must be so. After all, the benefits brought to him by people with higher talents are definitely higher than the latter. There must be no one who doesn't understand such a simple moral ideal.

In the midst of intensive preparations, another three quarters of an hour passed, and an inconspicuous aroma of food came from the camp behind.

The logistics staff had started cooking when Qiao Yang and the others were discussing the matter, and now they have completed the first batch. Chef Robert is very tired, and this is even with the help of others.

Along with the aroma of rice, there is the aroma of wine, which makes people feel refreshed after just one sip. This is the credit of Isdak and Charles. What they made at this time were all drinks with temporary gain, and they controlled the alcohol content to the lowest level, which lasted for a long time. The benefits brought by combat are not even worse than alchemy potions.

As for Curzon, the only master in the fleet who can make potions, he can't take any time off. He is already so busy that he is smoking. He never thought that he would be bored with the things he has always loved. Fucking outrageous!

The four teams were equipped with supplies and medicines. The team led by Aurea stayed in the camp, while Qiao Yang set off with Marquis's team. As the intensity of the war increased, the Nine Hells of blood feud for generations began. There can be no movement in He Abyss, they need to wait for a suitable opportunity to enter the battlefield.

At this time, more than half of the first batch of devils and demons fighting were killed or injured, and the terrain and layout Qiao Yang had prepared at the Blood Altar had long been completely destroyed.

A circle of sunken pits is filled with countless corpses. The bloody smell that rises to the sky is mixed with the filthy smell from the Nine Hells and the Abyss, forming an almost substantial negative energy. If an intelligent creature is killed here, then 80% of it will be destroyed. The possibility of directly transforming into a zombie or a resentful puppet, and by chance, a higher-level evil spirit life is not impossible.

Suddenly, the portal on one side of the separatist regime rippled with water again. There was nothing to say. The Nine Prisons and the Abyss sent out new soldiers.

However, unlike the first batch of soldiers who were obviously consumed as cannon fodder, this batch of soldiers, whether they are devils or demons, are all organized troops. Although the army on the abyss side is a bit chaotic and extremely noisy, and the formation is also loose, it seems It doesn't look like he's fighting.

If you observe carefully, you can easily find countless high-level demons mixed in. This is the most common demon army configuration in the abyss.

The demon army on the other side is also pretty much the same, but compared to the chaotic demons, it seems much more orderly. Not to mention the orders and prohibitions, anyway, against the background of the demon army, it does give people the feeling of a regular army, focusing on one It all depends on peers.

The demon army and the demon army immediately broke into a fight after they met. Maybe this is the situation when enemies meet and become extremely jealous. Just the first wave of superficial contact is about to knock the dog's brains out, and the intensity of the war increases rapidly. .

"Basque, prepare to teleport!"

Qiao Yang's eyes lit up. This was his first time witnessing a bloody battle. He could feel the unforgettable hatred from a distance. However, precisely because of this, it was definitely much easier for them to blend in than they thought.

Along with a sense of weightlessness, the scene in front of everyone changed. Everything they saw was demons, and rivers of blood flowed into their eyes. Because the battle situation was so chaotic, no one noticed that a force that did not belong to the Nine Hells came in.

In fact, this is not entirely correct. The sudden appearance of three Hell Fiends and many middle- and high-level demons greatly aroused the morale of the nearby demons. They subconsciously moved a small area of ​​​​space for Qiao Yang's three teams. , and then continued to charge without thinking too much.

Devils or devils die every minute, and the overflowing soul aura is a fatal temptation for them. In order to gain more power, they even dare to join forces to offend existences that they usually cannot afford to offend.

No, a team of demons with a similar configuration is targeting Marquez's team. The leader is a fire demon whose whole body is burning with flames. Judging from its breath alone, it will not be lower than the fourth level. It is probably one of the demons in the army. A certain general.

Seeing this, Qiao Yang almost laughed out loud. Isn't this about to open? As one of the higher demons, the Fire Demon has bloodline power second only to the Barlow Fire Demon. This also means that its soul energy is more abundant. In human terms To describe it, experience will give you more.

Thinking of this, he decided to add fuel to the fire to this fiery and irritable Balrog general.

"The smell of burnt sulfur makes me sick! Do you smell it?"

Qiao Yang said this sentence in the Purgatory language, and he even deliberately added a bit of insulting local dialect. He looked like a arrogant and domineering underage Hell Fiend.

"That's right!"

Marquis replied in a tone of approval. The syllables were short but standard enough, because he had only learned a few Infernal languages. In order not to be exposed, he chose some complex but easy-to-learn vocabulary in order to deal with this kind of situation. Condition.

Sure enough, the Balrog could not hear such insulting words. Short red pillars of fire spurted out from its nasal cavity. It took big steps and retorted in unskilled Purgatory language:

"Didn't your elders in your family tell you that you don't need too much nonsense when fighting?!"

Its speed was not slow, and it only took a breath to approach Qiao Yang. It swung a long whip composed of blue and purple flames and whipped it with a fierce momentum.

"Then are you worthy? You should know very well that you are not worthy!"

Qiao Yang continued to taunt the Balrog in fluent Purgatory language, then quietly took a few steps back and signaled Marquis to take action. The real fight would depend on his subordinates.

His fighting ability is pretty good, but for him to face a fourth-level high-level demon, it really doesn't make sense. It's important for a person to know himself. At this time, it's not embarrassing for his subordinates.

"Sword Power [Heavy Slash]!"

Marquis was unequivocal and swung the broad-edged scimitar without deliberately aiming it. After all, the Balrog was also a large evil demon, so he had no worries about where to hit it.

"Pyroblast!"

A large ball of flames spurted out from the Balrog's mouth, and the terrifying high temperature scorched and twisted the air. As the blade came into contact with the flames, Ban Bai's light shone, and some of the low-level demons who were accidentally involved evaporated instantly. , I don’t know what happened until I died.

At the same time, Sisonia's side.

The lust demon she transformed into has unparalleled beauty. A large number of demons are coming towards her one after another. They all believe in one thing. If they capture this lust demon and sacrifice it to the demon lord behind them, they will definitely be able to exchange for it. Lots of rewards.

It's a pity that they all misjudged Sisonia's strength. In terms of combat power, she is now the unquestionable number one in the Black Candle Fleet. With a few war spears and a broad sword, she can kill the incoming demons and retreat. There were heavy casualties.

Such a dazzling performance also made more demons pay attention to her, but the demon army is not a vegetarian. Compared to the demons who don't recognize their relatives during the fight, they at least know how to cover their friendly forces. With these helpers who spontaneously support, Hisoka Nia kills more and more as she pleases, like a battlefield Valkyrie!

As time passed, the intensity of the war increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, the third round of soldiers from both sides arrived across the portal.

This time the reinforcements from the Abyss are a step faster than those from the Nine Hells. In addition to the regular formations, there are also six upright minotaur-like demons with terrifying shapes. Every step they take will cause the earth to tremble. These guys are also unique to the Abyss. The high-level demon named Giant Bull Demon is extremely good at attacking cities and breaking up formations!

Not only that, the portal on the other side of the abyss suddenly disappeared after a violent fluctuation, but only a large demon arrived.

The moment it arrived, the world seemed to be stuck for a moment. The next moment, violent and surging pressure covered the entire battlefield, and a realm full of deathly silence unfolded. This is a legendary realm!

The high-ranking demon generals affiliated with the abyss looked surprised. They broke away from the battle and quickly came to the side of this terrifying existence. Then they knelt on the ground together and shouted:

"We are waiting to welcome the great Spear Ripper, the Abyss Slayer, and the legendary Balor Balrog—Lord Barry!"

It is not difficult to tell from their names that this demon that successfully descended after destroying the portal is a legendary demon. What is even worse is that it is also a Balor Balrog at the peak of the abyss ecological niche!

The corners of Qiao Yang's mouth twitched, and then he sighed helplessly.

Good news, the portal is broken.

Bad news, a legendary demon has arrived.

Thank you to all the book friends for your monthly votes. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Or put a crew panel.
