Words:1890Update:22/06/26 10:07:35
A rather strange party was advancing on the barren, scorched land. Leading the party were two ordinary demon soldiers and a high-tier succubus. Behind them was a group of ferocious-looking Chaos Demons that resembled mutated goblins and a few humans. Anyone would know what was going on: the demons had captured a group of human captives.
At least on the surface.
Lanina and the two demon soldiers were walking in front, trying to get information out of them while Hao Ren was looking around. The experience of sneaking into the enemy's team was new and interesting to him. If everything went well, they would be able to reach the Osidian Plain under the cover of the low-ranking demons.
Beside Hao Ren were a few strangers who looked gloomy. They were the "spies" of the Allied Army who were captured by the demons. But they were probably just ordinary scouts, or they would not have been captured by a group of low-ranking demons.
The one closest to Hao Ren was a middle-aged man with a beard. He was wearing a light brown leather armor and looked like a vanguard — it was written on the badge on his chest.
He looked at Hao Ren and the others curiously. They were all wearing old coarse robes (they had changed into them at the last minute. This kind of camouflage clothes were kept in Hao Ren's Dimensional Pocket). Although they were surrounded by demons, they did not look frustrated or angry. Hao Ren knew that they were humans who had been brainwashed by the succubus and probably did not remember who they were, so he did not want to talk to them.
But Hao Ren took the initiative to talk to the person next to him. "Are you from the Allied Army?"
The bearded man frowned and snorted in agreement. Facing a human lackey controlled by the succubus was like facing the demon itself — there was nothing to talk about.
"What are the Allied Army looking for in the Osidian Plain?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"Don't talk!" The leading demon soldier had sharp ears. He turned his head and shouted. But Lanina immediately smiled seductively. "Let them talk. Humans, no matter how incompetent they are, can still squeeze some hope out of thin air. Then slowly destroy this hope. That's the most interesting thing..."
The demon soldier immediately felt that it made sense. "The Succubus is indeed experienced!"
Another demon soldier nodded. "Yes, yes."
"The allied army of the Holy See is looking for someone over there? Or treasure? " When Lily saw that Lanina had started the conversation, she immediately came over and asked the bearded man, "What are you guys doing? How did you get caught here? "
The bearded man frowned. He vaguely felt that these "minions who had been brainwashed by the succubus" were a little different. They seemed to be too cheerful, but he still did not want to talk to these people. "I have nothing to say to you. It was your succubus master who asked you to get information from me. Don't bother. A bunch of people who have forgotten who they are. "
Hao Ren looked at the demons of Chaos around him. He found that these short and shriveled low-level demons were not as smart as Lanina said. They could only act according to the previous instruction when there was no order. Hao Ren felt relieved. He leaned closer to the bearded man and said in a low voice, "I'm a sorcerer."
The bearded man's eyes suddenly widened. His expression changed rapidly as if he had thought of many things at once. But he still asked cautiously, "Evidence?"
Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed at Lanina's direction. He whispered, "There's something wrong with her."
Lanina sneezed in front of her. She looked behind her and felt that someone was talking about her.
The bearded man immediately believed what Hao Ren said. The reason was simple. In this world, the charm of the succubus was simple and brutal. Any intelligent creature that was charmed would praise the succubus unconditionally. It was impossible for them to do anything against the succubus, even if it was ordered by the succubus herself...
"So, she's your … servant?" The bearded man looked at Hao Ren in surprise. He immediately realized that the people in front of him were not controlled by the succubus. It was the opposite. "You're here to rescue us?"
"I'm a solo mercenary. We're here to help." Hao Ren made up an excuse based on the information he heard from Lanina about the Allied Army. "We've just arrived and haven't had access to the core stuff. What are you looking for there?"
The bearded man lowered his eyes and whispered, "It's not a secret. We're looking for the treasure of the mad demonic king."
Y 'zaks suddenly stopped. "Huh?"
"It's said to be the secret of the mad demonic king's power," the bearded man continued. "The mad demonic king grew from an ordinary demon warlord to the most powerful demon king. In a few hundred years, he almost conquered the entire demonic world and half of the human world. It's also said that he could predict the future and find the hidden dimensional doors and new planes because of a special treasure. I don't know where the information came from. Anyway, the leaders of the Allied Army seemed to have found the last words left by the mad demonic king before he disappeared. It said that the ruins of the royal city in Osidian Plain hid all the secrets of his power. That's all. "
Y 'zaks was stunned. He could not remember that he was already' dead '. Why would there be such a message out of nowhere? Of course, what made him even angrier was that the Allied Army had been wandering in Osidian Plain for half a year looking for an illusory treasure, not his daughter! This made his face look strange. Hao Ren quickly patted Y 'zaks on the arm and said, "Y' zaks, Y 'zaks, calm down. The situation is not clear yet. There's still room for investigation!"
Y 'zaks was indeed a man of great deeds. He quickly calmed down and nodded silently.
The team walked like this for half a day. The black plain appeared at the end of their sight. At the same time, there was a large number of tall black shadows that looked like buildings. It should be the encampment of Serathon Legion or the Allied Army's line of defense. As they gradually approached their destination, they began to encounter wandering demon soldiers and even small units of Serathon Legion more frequently.
But every encounter was a close shave. Lanina claimed that most of the humans in the team were servants that she had charmed, and the two demon soldiers swore to vouch for her. The demons that they met along the way all expressed their admiration for Lanina's appetite for both men and women.
No one knew how much disgust the succubus had endured along the way. Speaking of which, as a succubus, she was naturally cold. It was not easy for her.
In this way, the special team gradually approached the border of Osidian Plain. Hao Ren saw a kind of strange rock protruding out of the ground like thorns. This must be the so-called 'Osidian' in this world.
Just as Hao Ren was thinking about how to find a chance to kill these demons and find a chance to infiltrate the Allied Army, a huge explosion suddenly broke out next to the team.
Boom! A huge fireball burst out in the air in front of the team. Just as the demons fell into a short period of panic, a large group of human soldiers in armor ran out from behind the giant stone thorns on both sides of the road.
These soldiers had obviously been lying in ambush for a long time. At this time, they easily surrounded the team of demons. Their numbers were at least two to three times that of the demons.
The two leading demon soldiers immediately raised their weapons and roared. But when they saw the number of enemies, they wisely did not rush forward. One of the demon soldiers glanced at Lanina and said, "Lady Succubus …"
The Allied Army's soldiers suddenly realized that there was an unexpected succubus in the team. Suddenly, all the male soldiers on the scene subconsciously took a few steps back. The leading officer even tightened his grip on his weapon and shouted, "Watch out for the succubus —"
In the blink of an eye, Lanina unsheathed her two black swords from her waist and leaped into the air. Like a nimble bird, she flashed past the two demon soldiers. Before the two demons could figure out what was going on, they had already fallen to the ground.
Lanina looked up at the human officer and asked, "What?"
The human officer said, "… What?"
"What my ass!" Hao Ren suddenly pulled out a silver alloy spear out of thin air and swung it at a chaos demon beside him. "Get your weapons!"
