With the previous lessons, Samoer's march this time was much more cautious. He marched steadily toward the Bloodmist Valley step by step.
The effect of this adjustment was very significant. After the enemies harassed along the way several times to no avail, they had to give up. Under Samoer's pressure, the capital's army did not encounter much resistance. They advanced to the depths of the Black Mountain Forest with absolute strength. The Bloodmist Valley was in front.
"The Dark Moon has been afraid to confront us head-on. Either their combat power is insufficient, or they want to lure us into a trap and ambush." Samoer said firmly.
"General, with our current strength, if the enemy wants to hurt us head-on, they have to mobilize at least the entire main force of 1 legion, which is equivalent to one-third of the total strength of the Dark Moon Estate." Liers frowned, "Now that the Royal Highness Regent's millions of troops are here, I don't think the Dark Moon will take this risk, but the enemy is extremely cunning. They will definitely use tricks, such as …"
"Fire attack?" Samoer replied. He looked at the dense forest around him and shook his head, "Liers, your consideration is good. This kind of environment is indeed prone to fire attacks, but this Black Mountain Forest does not have the extremely flammable flame wood. Instead, it is dominated by stone birch. The ignition point of stone birch is very high. It is usually used to make some fireproof materials. Even the fire power of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord in magic can't cause a large area of fire, so don't worry. "
Zeta on the side nodded slightly. He was proficient in water magic and air magic, and he also had a deep understanding of fire magic. He knew that what Samoer said was true.
"General is worthy of being the capital's famous general! It's really amazing that you can even observe this. "A lord took the opportunity to compliment.
Another lord also echoed, "In this expedition to the Dark Moon, general must be the most dazzling general star. It is a big advantage for us to follow the general to the expedition."
In fact, the characteristics of stone birch were learned by Samoer deliberately asking the guide before leading the army deep into the jungle. Of course, for compliments like "shining general star", Samoer spoke modestly, but he deeply agreed in his heart. He said, "After unveiling those lousy tricks, the Dark Moon's military strength and combat power are actually just so! If the Dark Moon really dares to invest 1/3 of its troops, then I will take them all and offer a big gift to the Royal Highness Regent. "
As Samoer expected, the Dark Moon Army besieging the Bloodmist Valley did not dare to confront head-on after suffering consecutive defeats, and they retreated one after another. The capital army soon broke into the vicinity of the Bloodmist Valley, and they saw that the valley entrance was surrounded by the Dark Moon Army.
Seemingly knowing the arrival of the reinforcements, there was finally movement in the Bloodmist Valley. The battle cries were getting closer and closer. The Dark Moon Army that was besieging the valley entrance was surrounded by enemies, and they dispersed one after another. Groups of cavalries rushed out of the pale red mist.
Light cavalry, round shield, scimitar, it is indeed the "besieged" Magic Shadow Legion, led by Nesta and Kanita.
However, before the cavalry could approach from afar, they saw the 'allies' who came to help suddenly shoot arrows all over the sky. The few cavalrymen in front were caught off guard and fell from their horses.
Nesta was taken aback and shouted, "Don't do it! I'm Nesta. Lucifer of the capital's Magic Shadow Legion. Which general is in front? "
"Nesta!" Samoer gestured to pause the shooting, and he rode out. His sneering voice resounded through the forest, "Do you still recognize me?"
"Samoer!" Nesta frowned and shouted, "Thank you for the rescue. Without further ado, let's join forces immediately and break out of the encirclement!"
"Join forces with you?" The sarcasm on Samoer's face became more intense, "Then you and the Dark Moon Army will cooperate from the inside, then burn my army food, kill my soldiers, and finally take my head?"
"Samoer, what do you mean? The situation is urgent now. Before the enemy encircles … "
Before Nesta finished speaking, he was interrupted by Samoer's laughter, "Haha! Encircle? Can such a small number of enemies surround you for so long? Do you think I'm a fool? "
Nesta said angrily, "Samoer! Now is the time for war, it is not the time to care about personal grievances! Do you want to avenge your personal grievances? It doesn't matter if I give my life to you! But there are still more than 4,000 soldiers here! "
"Shut up!" Samoer said sternly, "The Magic Shadow Legion is defeated and surrendered to the enemy. Their sin is unforgivable. I am ordered by Regent Obsidian Royal Highness to capture the rebel leader Nesta and destroy the Dark Moon and Magic Shadow's rebel army!"
As soon as these words came out, the Magic Shadow Legion's cavalry suddenly burst into an uproar. Rows of soldiers with long spears appeared in front of the Nether Hydra Legion. They obviously set up targeted tactics. The archers at the back pulled their bowstrings and began to shoot arrows. The Magic Shadow's cavalry was forced to retreat. At this time, a rider rushed out of the Magic Shadow Legion and shouted, "Don't shoot arrows! I'm from the Red Spirit Estate … "
An arrow flew out and hit the man in the chest. The man's voice suddenly stopped, and then countless arrows pierced him and his horse, turning him into a hedgehog.
With his last breath, the man roared, "We've guarded the Bloodmist Valley for so long. Countless comrades have fallen, and almost all of our supplies have been exhausted. No matter how the enemy attacked or tempted us, we would rather die than surrender. Why …"
Before he finished speaking, he had already collapsed.
"Kanita!" Nesta yelled in grief.
This person who was shot to death is Josh's son and the heir of the Red Spirit Estate, Kanita. Alvin? Samoer was taken aback, but it was already irreversible anyway. He simply went all out and eliminated all these people in the name of rebellion!
The Magic Shadow's cavalry retreated in the locust-like arrows. Nesta was shot 3 times in a row, and he shouted in grief, "We are willing to bleed for the empire and hold on for so many days under the enemy's onslaught. I didn't expect to die under the suspicion of our own people today! Why! "
This voice was desolate and full of unwillingness. The soldiers of the Magic Shadow Legion were all inexplicably sad and indignant. Even the soldiers of the Nether Hydra Legion were touched.
"Samoer, you shameless villain, you actually framed me for personal grievances!"
"Royal Highness Obsidian! You just abandoned the Magic Shadow Legion that pledged loyalty to you? Is this your 'trust' and 'choice'? "
Samoer shouted angrily, "Shut up! You rebel, no matter how glib your words are, you can't change the fact! If you don't surrender! Those who resist will be killed! "
"If we don't resist, we will also die if we fall into your hands!" Nesta roared into the sky, "Forget it. So what if I carry the name of a rebel? So what if I really join the Dark Moon! Even if I have to risk my life today, I will take my soldiers out of here alive! "
The cavalry behind him raised their swords, "I swear to follow the general to death!"
Samoer didn't talk nonsense anymore, and he directly ordered the archers to shoot. Nesta was forced to retreat to the valley entrance helplessly.
As Samoer was about to lead the army to pursue, he suddenly felt a burst of red light in his eyes. Then, the air was filled with terrifying heat. All the trees in front of him were instantly burned. Samoer's complexion changed drastically. How is this possible! Even the peak stage of the Demon Overlord magician can't burn the stone birch …
Samoer didn't know that his understanding was limited to the ordinary peak stage of the Demon Overlord magician. For a peak stage of the Demon Overlord who was proficient in all magic, magic circles and ancient runes, it was not impossible to make the stone birch burn more fiercely than the flame wood, and there was more than one method.
The black wand appeared in Zeta's hand, and he tapped it on the ground. A pure water element power spread forward, forming ice along the way.
Logically, when encountering such a strong water element power, even the most powerful flame would be suppressed. However, a strange thing happened. When this water element power encountered the flame on the stone birch, it was like adding oil to the fire. The fire suddenly became 10 times more intense, and it quickly spread along the ice surface. The fire was so fierce that even the Magic Shadow Cavalry in the distance did not dare to approach. They could only retreat into the valley.
Zeta's complexion also changed. His figure flashed, and he had left the range of the flame. The shock in his heart was even more extreme: This is a flame produced by the principle of compound magic! And it is actually a compound of the 2 incompatible elements of water and fire! Burning water in the fire! This was simply an unimaginable method! The Dark Moon actually has such a powerful magician!
The terrifying flame made the soldiers restless. Samoer immediately realized the biggest crisis and shouted, "Quick! Evacuate the forest immediately! "
It was no longer feasible to go forward, so they could only retreat. Behind them was a denser forest. They only hoped that they could quickly escape from the dangerous place before the fire fully erupted.
However, as the worst expected, just as the capital army retreated in a panic, flames began to ignite in all directions, turning it into a sea of flames.
Now even Zeta didn't dare to use magic power indiscriminately. Maybe it would add oil to the fire like just now. He could only use some auxiliary magic on the soldiers. Samoer knew that he had fallen into the enemy's evil scheme, and his heart was filled with remorse. He led some stronger officers to open a path with attacks at the forefront. However, the fire was getting fiercer and fiercer. The stone birch seemed to burn endlessly, and the terrifying high temperature caused many soldiers to fall one after another.
Perhaps due to the high temperature, in the sight of many soldiers, the road ahead was distorted as if there was no end.
A few hours later, after the demonic beasts fled in all directions in a panic, a stumbling team finally appeared at the edge of the Black Mountain Forest.
There were a lot of people in this team. There were about 10,000 people, but compared with the number of people who entered the forest, it could only be said to be very few. These people's lips were chapped, and their faces and bodies were full of burns. Some were very serious, but almost all of their faces had the same expression of rejoicing after surviving a disaster.
They finally persisted to the end and escaped the scythe of death, but several times their companions were buried in the sea of fire. This was still the result of Zeta's full protection with magic. Otherwise, perhaps the number of people who came out would be much smaller.
Samoer's face was full of chagrin and depression. This was a complete fiasco. We didn't even touch the opponent's main force, and only one-tenth of the troops were left. I don't know how to explain to the Royal Highness Regent for this failure.
At this moment, Zeta suddenly showed vigilance. Samoer also felt it. He saw a large number of figures appearing in front of him. A rough estimate was at least 30,000 people.
The enemy's main force!
Did they finally appear?
If it was a few hours ago, Samoer would only feel excited, but now there were less than 10,000 troops left, and they were both physically and mentally exhausted and heavily injured …
Samoer showed a rare wry smile. Initially, I have been looking for the opponent's main force, but I didn't expect to encounter them in this situation now.
No! This is simply a trap deliberately set by the opponent! From the initial harassment and arrogance tactics to the later luring the enemy deep, it is for this final fatal blow.
The battlefield is not a charity hall. Being lenient to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. The Dark Moon did not give the Nether Hydra Legion time to breathe. They had quickly surrounded them and slowly compressed the encirclement.
At the front was a large group of cavalry of the Dark Moon Army. They were wearing cloaks and equipped with scimitars and round shields.
The leader was a knight wearing a cloak and a mask. His true face could not be seen clearly. He was holding a long sword and a square shield in his hand. With a strange horn blowing, all the cavalry had a dark red light on their bodies. Their speed suddenly accelerated, and they had quickly closed the distance with the Nether Hydra Legion.
Samoer, Zeta, and others were taken aback when they saw this scene. These cavalries are clearly the enemy who burned the military rations that night and fought with the Nether Hydra Legion in the wilderness of Town Mordo!
"Rebel" Nesta is in the Bloodmist Valley blocked by the flames at this time, so it is impossible for him to come here. The spirit, appearance, and equipment characteristics of those cavalries can be seen clearly in this daytime. There is still a certain difference with the Magic Shadow Legion in front of the valley just now.
Many "insiders" looked at each other. It seems that the cavalries that night are really not Nesta's men!
Nesta and the Magic Shadow Legion are actually wronged! Could it be that Samoer is really using his official position to avenge his personal grudge and deliberately framed them?
Is this the truth?
Samoer's heart was also beating fiercely. He felt that he seemed to have fallen into a bigger conspiracy, but now is not the time to pursue this. In any case, I must break through the enemy's encirclement as soon as possible and escape this damn place!
Zeta shouted, floated up, and greeted the cavalries. Under normal circumstances, the Demon Overlord powerhouse disdained to take the initiative to attack "ants", but he couldn't care much now.
As soon as Zeta flew up, a terrifying sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart. He couldn't care about dealing with the cavalries. His whole body's magic power skyrocketed, and 4 ice shields suddenly appeared around him. Each side had several layers.
In the blink of an eye, the several layers of ice shields behind him suddenly turned into powder. The powerful impact aftermath made Zeta's vision blacked out. His body fell forward, and he almost fell to the ground.
There was a woman in the air behind him. This woman was wearing a black cloak and a mask on her face. Her legs looked very long, but her chest was a bit lacking.
Zeta's pupils contracted. Another intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord! Moreover, her power breath is faintly above me. She is only one step away from reaching the peak stage of the Demon Overlord! Didn't Royal Highness Obsidian agree with the Shadow Empire? Why are there so many Demon Overlord powerhouses in the Dark Moon?
The woman didn't give him time to think. In the blink of an eye, she had flown to Zeta, and her fist struck with a terrifying power.
"Turn into a meteor and disappear for me! For 10,000 black crystal coins! "Listening to the voice, it was a girl.
Perhaps, a "miser" title should also be added.
