Chapter 238: The Plan to the Fight the Demon
Kant left without hesitation.
The heavy cavalry that were covered in black blood immediately followed behind him.
As for the mage apprentices, they did not even dare to look back. They urged their horses and quickly followed Kant’s back. It was obvious that they understood how powerful the h.e.l.l demons were. They were extremely fearful of them.
In the underground city, the huge h.e.l.l Demon was still looking at Kant and the others coldly.
A strong smell of sulfur mixed with sparks was emitted from its nose.
Its mood became worse.
“Boom.”
The broken rune sword in its right hand, which was three meters wide and four meters long, slashed heavily on the city wall.
The huge force caused the city wall to continue collapsing.
It was extremely angry. No human had dared to tease it like this since the age of the G.o.ds. However, in this era, after ten thousand years, the human who had forgotten the fear of the past could actually pretend to ignore it and turn around to leave.
This made the anger in its chest even more stifled. It directly let out a long howl that sounded like a roar. “Roar –”
A strong wind that carried the smell of sulfur surged out from its throat.
The entire karst cave seemed to be shaking like the earth and mountains.
“Human! You, how DARE YOU IGNORE MY EXISTENCE! Ignore the supreme lord of the h.e.l.l Demons, the King of Evil, the ruler of the flames, and the authority of Ameng Qieke!”
The eyes of the h.e.l.l devil were filled with brutality and cruelty, and absolute madness filled his eyes. He let out an even more violent roar. When his body wanted to crash into the ruins of the city wall, he found that on the stone floor outside, near the city wall, circles of golden sacred patterns could always light up, just enough to trap him inside.
This was the divine power that originated from the G.o.ds. After ten thousand years, although it had declined several times, it was still effective against the weakened h.e.l.l Devil.
However, it was not certain how long it could last.
Kant led the team and quickly left the cave.
It looked light, but in fact, it was as if they had fled in defeat. The formation was a little chaotic. They only relied on strict training and life-and-death battles on the battlefield to barely maintain a relatively complete formation.
The last mage apprentice was completely defeated and fled.
Riding on their own traveling horse, they hugged the horse’s neck with both hands and panted heavily. There was still fear and joy in their eyes.
“We actually escaped in the hands of h.e.l.l Demons, at least lord-level demons!”
These mage-apprentices secretly rejoiced.
On the other hand, the surrounding Swadian heavy calvary were ashamed and humiliated because they had encountered such a terrifying enemy that they did not have many means to fight back. It was clear that they had fled without fighting, it was not in line with the Kingdom of Swadia’s martial spirit, and it made the heavy cavalry feel extremely humiliated.
The mage apprentices felt weird about this. They did not understand the power of the h.e.l.l Devils, especially the upper-level devils. They would never understand how terrifying they were.
Those who did not know were fearless.
It was precisely because they did not know that they were fearless.
This sentence could also be summarized as “stupid”.
As a transmigrator, Kant’s movies and literary works in his previous life had clearly told him that the terror of h.e.l.l Demons was definitely not something that these regular heavy cavalry and a small number of low-level mage apprentices could fight against.
At the very least, it could be guessed based on their size.
Kant had once encountered a ferocious demonic lion on the mountaintop where the village “Aaron” was located.
It had a huge body that was close to five meters tall.
Considering the overall length of its tail, it was close to 20 meters.
The huge body brought with it an extremely terrifying fighting strength. Even if it did not have any rationality or intelligence, it still caused a huge loss to Kant and the others.
After careful calculation, it was not a loss, but a tragic loss!
Just this vicious demonic lion alone had caused more than 30 of his sarrandian horseman riders, who had shone brilliantly at the stone pa.s.s, to be almost completely wiped out. In the end, only seven of them survived. If it was not for Kant and their good luck, in addition to fighting with all their might, there would not even be a tragic loss. It was a complete defeat.
Now, they had encountered a h.e.l.l demon that was six meters tall. Its body weight was estimated to be several tons. Just its strength alone was not something that any human could compare to.
Moreover, this h.e.l.l demon had its own weapon.
The rune broadsword that was carved with strange runes and was flickering with a pale green light was completely cut off from the middle!
With such a huge body, terrifying strength, and strange weapons, it was estimated that even the ferocious demonic lion would not be a match for it. This was because although both sides were similar in size, they were not on the same level.
Just like a well-trained heavy footman and an unintelligent beast.
Both sides were not on the same level at all!
Most importantly, this h.e.l.l Demon was intelligent. It even knew how to speak the human language, baiting Kant and making wishes. It was as cunning as those old tricks of the n.o.ble families.
If Kant was not extremely vigilant.
Facing the hundreds of bags of gold, as well as his desire for history, he might really have to listen carefully to what this h.e.l.l demon wanted to say.
But if he stayed for too long and fell into the demon’s whisper, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It was obvious.
That h.e.l.l Demon wanted Kant to stay and listen to him.
Kant naturally refused.
They quickly rode their horses along the ancient pa.s.sage and left.
It was still a straight stone road. They picked up the torches that they had thrown away earlier. With a slight shake, the sparks instantly reignited. After igniting the other torches, everyone held up their torches and used the light to quickly run in the direction they came from.
The water of the subterranean river was still flowing.
However, everyone’s expressions were unsightly.
Especially Kant.
He spurred his horse and galloped forward at high speed. A deep haze was imprinted into the depths of his eyes.
He had racked his brains and never expected that there would be such a terrifying h.e.l.l demon at the end of the ancient road. Compared to the female succubi he had encountered previously, the two were completely incomparable. It was truly like the difference between a woman and a heavy-armored elite warrior, if he were to organize all the troops currently in the village “Aaron”, it would probably be difficult to deal with them.
Thinking of the terrifying power in the underground city of the karst cave that could even destroy the city walls, his heart was beating faster, and his heart was also palpitating.
The future enemies would probably be these h.e.l.l demons.
At the moment, he needed to make preparations.
The people who had once built the Golden Sacred City with the bloodline of the Sun G.o.d, which was also the era of the G.o.ds, undoubtedly used the Sun Temple and the underground city to completely trap this h.e.l.l demon.
It was like a seal.
But after thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, the current seal was probably ineffective.
Even the h.e.l.l demon could destroy the city wall. It could be seen that as time pa.s.sed, the effect of the seal where this underground city was located would also decrease rapidly. Eventually, it would completely break the seal and come out. When that time came, there would be an ancient pa.s.sage.., this infernal demon could definitely come directly below Aaron’s village, or even appear in the nearby senwaya range.
This was the only pa.s.sageway. At the very least, Kant did not discover whether there was a pa.s.sageway leading to the outside world in the karst cave where the buried city was located. Even if there was, he did not think that the infernal demon would let him off.
This was the fundamental conflict between races.
Reconciliation was impossible.
Kant could not imagine what it would be like for the demons who were in the evil camp to reconcile with the humans.
“Ha, where are the demons?”
Shaking the reins, Kant spurred his horse even faster.
After a period of running.
Soon, they saw the light in the pa.s.sage ahead again. It was a few bonfires, and there were shadows of people. It was the soldiers of Rhodoks who had stayed behind. When they heard the hurried sounds of horse hooves, they stood up in a dense formation to ensure their safety, they were careful to guard against any enemies that might appear.
There was nothing wrong with being careful.
When they found out that it was Kant and the heavy cavalry that had returned, they all scattered under Bandake’s orders.
However, there were also people who brought out iron pots. The inside was steaming hot, filled with hot porridge and food. It was obvious that during this period of time, they had all prepared to camp for a long period of time. There was naturally no lack of hot food that could alleviate the cold.
Kant got off his horse.
Rhodoks’s soldiers came over to lead his horse.
“Lord Kant.” Bandake brought over a bowl of hot porridge with honey cubes. “It’s very cold here. Have a bowl of sweet and hot porridge to warm your body first.”
“Okay.” Kant nodded. He took the hot porridge and took a sip. The temperature was just right, so he gulped down a few mouthfuls.
As the warm sweet porridge entered his stomach, his entire body suddenly became hot.
“Bring some to the brothers behind.”
Bandake commanded the soldiers and hurriedly took out the hot porridge from the iron pot. He gave a bowl to each of the Swadian heavy calvary and mage-apprentices. The arrangement was very orderly and reasonable.
After he was done, Bandake came to Kant’s side.
Seeing his Lord’s ugly expression, he could not help but ask solemnly, “Lord Kant, you don’t look well. Could it be that you encountered some unusual situation in the deep pa.s.sage this time?”
“Yes, we discovered the underground city.”
Kant nodded and said to ban dake, “There are h.e.l.l demons inside.”
“Ah?” Bandake was stunned.
As a native who came from the continent of Caradia, he did not believe in the legends of demons and G.o.ds.
In his opinion, they were just legends.
If there really were such demons and G.o.ds, why not destroy the world or end the cruel chaos of the continent of Caradia?
“What I said is true.”Kant frowned.
“It’s true…” The shock on Bandake’s face had not faded. He looked at the stern faces of the Swadian heavy calvary, as well as the mage apprentices who knew spells, he could not help but ask Kant, “There really is a demon. I thought what Manide and the others said was a joke. This really makes me feel… surprised.”
“I’m also surprised.” Kant snorted. “Let’s evacuate this ancient pa.s.sage.”
After a pause, he continued in a deep voice, “Next, we have to think about how to kill that h.e.l.l Demon. Now, it seems that the source of the demonized creatures in the ancient pa.s.sage may be this h.e.l.l Demon.”
As long as this demon did not die, the demonized creatures would be endless.
Kant could not accept that there was such a hidden danger under his own village.
