Strict orders were given, and order was maintained.
That was Sauron's first impression of the Demon Army. The army was the embodiment of order, and as the evil Demon Army, they were the embodiment of order. It could be said that if not for the endless demon army in the Abyss, the Baator Inferno would definitely have the ability to attack other planes and even the Upper Plane, [Mountain Paradise]. The Demons kept advancing in the Blood War, but they also kept falling in the Blood War because the number of enemies was too large. Facing enemies that were more than ten times their number, the Demons would always make mistakes.
But even so, the [Lord of Hell], Asmodeus, still accumulated some power.
It was an absolutely elite army of devils.
He was ready to throw them into the war that would decide the fate of the Abyss and the Baator Inferno. After thousands of years of Blood War, the Demon Lord knew how to transfer the elites to the rear, and Asmodeus knew this very well. So there had always been a legend that in the depths of the Baator Inferno, there was a terrifying Demon Army that could fight all the way to Mountain Paradise. Asmodeus rarely interfered in the Blood War in the Abyss. He only let his underlings attack the Abyss, and no one knew if he had other plans.
Dong! Dong!
Dong! Facing the huge Demon Army, the Demon Army only sent out a small team of soldiers. They were very clear about the Abyss Demons' attrition tactics, and they did not even use the engineering equipment on the Blood War Fortress.
"Is that a Bone Demon?"
Sauron was not as familiar with the Baator Inferno as the Abyss, because the more orderly a place was, the stricter the rules were, and the harder it was for adventurers to find a loophole.
In the Baator Inferno, there were many places with strict order. The Demons did not reject outsiders from other planes, but their attitude was definitely not friendly. In the Abyss, one could wander around as long as one did not provoke some powerful demons. But in the Baator Inferno, one could not do so. The Demons' conspiracy made many adventurers tremble in fear. Sauron had been to the Baator Inferno before, but he did not go deep, because the deeper the Baator Inferno went, the more dangerous it was. It was even more dangerous than entering the territory of the Demon Lord.
Bone Devil.
It was a type of Intermediate Demon with a challenge rating of 10 and above. Its innate Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution were 21 and above. Such attributes were not very strong for a demon because there were many demons in the Abyss who were naturally muscular. However, war was not something that could be easily influenced by one person's strength. War was a life and death battle that emphasized discipline and cooperation. A group of Bone Devils faced the Demon Army that outnumbered them by a thousand times. Almost none of them showed fear on their faces. On the contrary, their eyes were filled with contempt.
"Ice Wall!"
Ice walls rose on the battlefield. This was the innate spell-like ability of Bone Devils. They liked to cut up large groups of enemies like this.
The huge demon army was divided into chaotic groups, and some even started killing each other. The only ones that weren't affected were the undead cannon fodder. More and more demon lords preferred to use undead instead of demons. Although the low-level undead did not have high intelligence and could only accept simple orders, it was still much better than the demons rushing up in a chaotic swarm.
"Fear Aura!"
Another innate ability of Bone Devils was that they possessed a special aura halo.
"Fear Aura [Innate Ability]: Bone Devils can launch a Fear Aura with a radius of more than three meters in an instant action. Any affected creature must forcibly pass a Will Immunity check, otherwise it will be affected by the same effect as Fear (equivalent to a Casting Level 7). Creatures that successfully pass the Immunity check will no longer be affected by the Fear Aura of the same Bone Devil within 24 hours. Other demons are immune to this aura. The Immunity difficulty is affected by Charm. "
A weakened version of Fear Aura.
It was not as large as the Son of Fear, and the effect of Fear and the difficulty of Immunity were completely incomparable. However, it was more than enough to deal with these low-level demon cannon fodder.
The Bone Devils rushed directly to the army that was thousands of times stronger. Any low-level creatures that were close to them fled in fear.
Dretches were originally timid creatures.
As a result, they lost any effect at all. The Bone Devils were completely slaughtered. Even after killing more than ten times the number of enemies, they did not have any casualties.
Flames fell from the sky!
The Devil Legion seemed to want to eat all these demon cannon fodder. In Sauron's sight, the battlefield was burning with raging flames, and the figures of the demons were easily shuttling through it because most of them were immune to fire damage. However, the demons couldn't do this. Their resistance could only resist a portion of the damage and not be completely immune. Only a small number of demons and special forms like Sauron could be immune to fire.
This was the most common tactic of the demons!
The battlefield was turned into a sea of fire, and then all the enemies were destroyed little by little.
The low-level undead were burned to death in large numbers. Most of the low-level demons had lost their morale. They trampled on each other to escape the battle, but they were ruthlessly killed by the demon warlords behind them.
This was a bloody battle!
The Blood War was the most terrifying Asura Battlefield in the multiverse. Even the gods had to be prepared to face death here.
The demons could not hold on any longer.
The situation was quite unfavorable from the beginning of the battle. The Devil Legion's main forces had not yet been dispatched, and their own cannon fodder troops had already suffered heavy losses. In the end, the high-grade demons began to send more powerful cannon fodder to the battlefield. They could not sit back and watch the enemy kill all the cannon fodder. With the roar of the Hezrou, a group of middle and low-grade demons were dispatched. The figures of Hezrou, Vrocks, Berserk Demons, Hunters, and so on all appeared in the battle.
Some powerful demons seemed to be unable to hold back their nature and joined the battle in advance.
And at this time.
The Devil Legion was still as motionless as a mountain. In the face of a new wave of attacks from the demon army, the demon elites stayed in place and did not even have the idea of supporting the bone demon army.
— — "Fly!"
— — "Invisibility!"
— — "Greater Phantom!"
The bone demons used their own spell-like abilities one after another. They used Fly to avoid many enemies, and Invisibility easily allowed them to advance and retreat freely. The Spirit of Fear still covered the battlefield. As long as it existed, all the demons with weak will would be useless.
However.
At this time, the Devil Legion had changed. Their two wings opened towards the side door, and many middle-grade and high-grade demons flew into the sky. It seemed that they intended to expand the battlefield further.
They knew the nature of demons very well.
When there was enough chaos, madness would make demons kill each other, which could make it easier for the demons to deal with the enemy.
The flames were not enough.
The demons liked to cover the whole battlefield with fire. They would use all means to lead the advantage of the battle to their side.
The fire was the most obvious advantage.
As long as the demons fought in the fire, they would be hurt, but the demons would be unaffected. If the enemy withdrew from the battlefield, then with the chaotic nature of the demons, they would directly collapse and retreat. All they needed to do was to chase and kill the enemies. An undisciplined army was so pitiful. The demons knew very well that once the battle broke out, the demons could only fight to the death. If they could fight, they might be able to defeat the demons. If they could not, it would be a big defeat.
If it was the latter, the Devil Legion could win precious time to breathe.
A devilish flame ignited.
With the actions of the high-grade demons, there seemed to be some different flames on the battlefield. The other demons did not seem to be aware of it, but Sauron, as a [Flaming Demon], felt it very clearly.
This was the [Hellfire]!
A magical flame born in the Baator Inferno. Sometimes even low-grade demons could be burned. These flames had more terrible lethality.
The casualties of the demons were increasing.
But they still did not notice. The timid ones wanted to escape, and the courageous ones just rushed forward.
The situation on the battlefield was getting worse and worse. But at this time, Sauron's army suddenly received an order to attack. They needed to surround the enemy from the side and try to eliminate a small group of demons.
