NOVEL WEB Chapter 665 The Devil Arrives
However, just as the last group of priestesses rode hippogryphs and approached the meeting point, something unexpected happened suddenly.
In the clear night sky, several meteorites with green tail flames appeared out of thin air. They carried the aura of destruction and headed straight for the hippogryph herd.
Tyrande and others had no time to react, and the meteorites had already crashed into the hippogryph herd. Several hippogryphs were unable to dodge and were instantly hit by the green flames. Their wings were on fire, they made a shrill whine, and they were spinning and rolling in mid-air. When the priestess on them was thrown out, they also let out a desperate scream, and the figure fell vertically to the ground.
At the same time, the battle priests led by Maiev had just broken through the Moon Guard's defense. They were preparing to pursue the victory [but Canran saw countless little bats making shrill screams gathering from all directions.
These bats rotated rapidly around Major Madrak, gradually forming the image of a tall demon with curved horns and wide fleshy wings. The devil's eyes flashed with evil light. It opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar, which seemed to swallow up the entire battlefield.
"Ha" the devil sneered, and the evil green light in his eyes swept across the moon guards contemptuously. He snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain and ridicule: "Trash, you have failed Queen Azshara's expectations and trust."
When Major Madrak heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
His heart was filled with disgust for this demon, but on the surface he had to pretend to be in awe.
He lowered his head slightly, trying to hide his emotions, and at the same time admitted his mistake to the devil: "Lord Tichondrius, I am ashamed... We did not complete the task assigned to us by Her Majesty the Queen."
"Okay!" The demon waved its sharp claws at Madrak impatiently, interrupted his words, and said with a sneer: "I didn't have high expectations for you wastes. Step back, Let me help you clean up this mess."
At this moment, the battle priests had broken through the defense line arranged by the Moon Guards, and they were unstoppable along the way.
However, the demon guards suddenly came from all around and blocked their way forward. These demon guards are tall, with ferocious faces, and exude a strong evil aura.
Maiev glanced sideways at the sisters who fell from the air to the ground, her eyes filled with anger and grief.
Only a few of them used [Levitation Technique] in time at the last moment and survived. The remaining dozen priests, due to lack of actual combat experience, all fell helplessly in a pool of blood, losing signs of life. Their sacrifice made Maiev feel heartbroken.
She gritted her teeth tightly and stared at the demon blocking her way with burning eyes, feeling both angry and puzzled: "Why did the Burning Legion appear here?.`!"
Levin also narrowed his eyes and looked solemnly at the big bat-like demon leader. His heart was also full of doubts, but he still remained calm and analyzed the current situation.
"If I'm not wrong," Levin said slowly, "the Burning Legion was worried about the Moon Guard's garrison from the beginning, so they specially arranged a troop to secretly monitor them near the Moon Guard."
He carefully observed the partial division of the Burning Legion and found that their number was not large. After a rough glance and calculation, he estimated that this force only had about a hundred ground troops of various types, plus seven or eight medium-sized Hellfires that had been dropped from the sky before.
Despite this, the presence of these demons still poses a huge threat to the Sisterhood members on the battlefield.
"The most troublesome thing is their leader, who is a fear devil." Levin said secretly, "It is said that he is very powerful and has weird magical abilities. We must deal with it carefully, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Levin's role as a border bumpkin prevents him from revealing his intimate knowledge of the enemy to Maiev and the other battle priests.
He didn't know much about the Dread Lord.
This creature, also known as Nasrezim, is one of the first races in the Twisting Nether to be recognized as demons.
They are cruel and cunning in nature, and are good at using shadow and death spells to control illusions and confuse their targets with sweet words.
They are not good at frontal combat, and they are not considered powerful warriors among the Burning Legion. However, their real fear lies in their ability to create suspicion and distrust in the enemy's stable rear, and the enemy's determination and will to resist the Burning Legion.
However, even Sargeras, the leader of the Burning Legion, didn't know that the Dreadlords were essentially shadow creatures, not real demons. They came from Sargeras' real enemies, the Lords of the Void, who were sent to the Burning Legion. of undercover.
Perhaps, only this cunning creature can work as an undercover agent under Sargeras's nose.
"The Moon Guard Commander just now, he seemed to call the Dread Lord... Tichondrius?" Levin's heart moved, and he slowly walked to Maiev, his eyes fixed on the man with the face. The taunting Dreadlord. He thought to himself, "If that demon is really Tichondrius, it will be difficult for us to escape from this group of demons.
Tichondrius's name made waves in Levin's mind. He clearly remembered that the leader of the Nathrezim was the right-hand deputy of Kildan the Deceiver, one of the three giants of the Burning Legion.
Although in terms of combat ability, Tichondrius may not be comparable to Mannoroth, the vanguard general under Archimonde the Defiler, but when it comes to conspiracy and infiltration behind enemy lines,
Not even ten Mannoroth could match his cunning and cunning.
The moment he saw the Dread Lord appear, Levin had already begun to wonder if there was a deeper plot behind the sudden appearance of the Dread Lord.
Why is he hiding aside and spying? Is all this a trick on his part?
However, the reality is even more troublesome. The battle priests led by Maiev and the main force led by High Priest Dejana failed to successfully rendezvous, and the two sides were separated by a group of strong demon guards. This makes their situation even more dangerous, as they may be tricked by the demon army at any time.
The priests of Lasallaza had never experienced such a bloody scene. The tragic death of the sisters made them pale with shock. Fear made them unable to make a sound. Each of them felt as if their souls were tightly held by cold hands, unable to break free. .
Fortunately, Levin foresaw this and deliberately kept Tyrande with them, who had experienced the war. In this situation, only Tyrande calmed down. In this desperate situation, facing the sudden enemy, she was the first to break the tranquility, loudly urging and encouraging the priests to start again.
Her voice was like morning bells and evening drums, awakening the fearful priests. They supported each other, took heavy steps, and landed in the dense woods one by one in shock to join the large army.
Seeing that the priests were safe, Maiev breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.
However, if these demons are not dealt with, the danger will not really be far away.
With a heavy muffled sound, the hellfires that hit the ground slowly crawled out of the huge pit, their bodies emitting green and hot flames, igniting everything around them.
Under the command of Tichondrius, these hellfires approached Levin and Maiev, threatening their lives.
The Hellfire that hit the ground climbed out of the huge pit and slowly approached Levin and Maiev with Tichondrius' lazy wave.
Facing this dangerous situation, Levin is not without countermeasures in mind. His arcane magic is powerful enough to deal with these demons. However, in order to hide his identity, he was unable to cast these spells at all. Although his attainments in druid magic are not shallow, they are far inferior to arcane magic. Compared with the current crisis, he seems a little inadequate.
Therefore, he could only suppress his inner worries and look for ways to break the situation (with good money).
Maiev quickly turned her head and glanced at the battle priests with her sharp eyes. She saw their tired eyes and felt the fear and uneasiness in their hearts. She hesitated slightly, but quickly made a decision.
".々Change direction!" Maiev's voice was very firm, giving every fighting priest courage, "To prepare to break through the demon's defense, we must first meet up with the high priests. We cannot leave them behind to break through.
"Yes!" The battle priests responded in unison, Maiev's sudden decision becoming their backbone. They quickly adjusted their formation and prepared to attack the devil's defense line.
At the same time, the support for the "God Envoy" within the Moon Guard has shown polarization.
Some people cheered and gathered around Tichondrius, trying their best to please this powerful demon leader. Their faces were full of flattery and hypocrisy, as if they had completely forgotten their responsibilities and missions.
The other part of the Moon Guards stayed in place with complicated expressions. They, including Commander Madrak, are all warriors with rich combat experience and keen insight. They looked at the people surrounding Tichondrius, filled with doubts and uneasiness. .
