Chapter 626: Overestimating One’s Ability
The forces that sensed Mo Yunzi's arrival were not just the fallen angels. The demon-god-level experts in the demon army also discovered this powerful aura, and at the same time they also discovered the unique demonic aura of the demon army that accompanied him.
However, these powerful demons do not have clear judgment like fallen angels. From their point of view, who do not understand the background of the human world, although the human world is large, it is just one of the countless middle and low-level planes that the abyssal demon world has invaded and devoured for countless years. In the end, sooner or later, it will be occupied by them due to insufficient background. With the help of the human world The homologous connection between the world and further conquering the large plane above it - the spiritual world is a tough battle.
It can be said that the forces in the human world do not take them seriously at all. The entire human world has long been regarded as a feast by them. Every demon boss wants to devour this delicacy, so even when they attack human forces on weekdays, , they have not forgotten to secretly scheming and holding back. Now there is another customer on the already crowded dining table, and you can imagine that they are in a bad mood. Therefore, despite knowing that this person may be a strong man at the level of "Demon Lord", there are still some guys who are bold and not afraid of death and dare to provoke him.
More than five hundred kilometers to the west of Mo Yunzi's base is the junction of the Western Continent and the Black Earth Continent, Croya City. This place was originally the capital of a small country. Because it is located at the junction of two continents, there was constant business travel and densely populated areas in the past.
But since the devil came many years ago, there has been a great disaster. The former prosperity has been destroyed. Most of the country's people have been killed and devoured. Only a handful of strong men and high-ranking officials and their subordinates have chosen to surrender and turned into demons. I managed to survive by taking refuge in some strong demons, but my status was not much better than that of a slave.
The formerly prosperous city has now turned into a paradise for monsters. The ruined city, demons walking around, demon vendors setting up stalls, dodging fallen humans, and the fallen demonic mist all over the sky and earth make this place look like a real place. It's like a demonic realm. As demons with evil and chaotic nature, they naturally don't know how to obey order, let alone construction and development. The only thing they are good at is fighting and killing.
Therefore, forced buying and selling, fights, and even robberies and killings occurred from time to time. Many buildings were destroyed each time, and the troublemakers were arrested or killed by the lazy demon patrols, and then the degenerates with grimaces Human craftsmen started repairing. Therefore, despite occupying this place for many years, and having the help of fallen humans who have taken refuge under his command, Croa City is still very chaotic and dilapidated, and cannot provide much wealth.
However, as the demon lord who rules this place, he doesn't care about this, because the demon is not good at construction, let alone doing business. All it cares about is its own power and strength. The environment of the Abyss Demon Realm is ten times and a hundred times worse than that of the human world, but there are still countless demons surviving. As long as you are strong enough, you can recruit and sweep around any demon ruins and wilderness, and you will get many powerful mid-level and high-level demons. Thugs and free little devil cannon fodder, these are all business without money.
In addition, demons generally use talent-based spells and melee attacks in battles, and rarely wear equipment (mainly because there are no channels to buy it, and even if they do, few demons can afford it because the price is too high), so there is no need to consider finances. and factors such as military spending. As long as there is enough flesh, blood, soul and food to maintain basic needs, the needs of the army under his command can be met.
And even if his subordinates are dissatisfied with their treatment, as long as the lord still holds the loyalty contracts of these subordinates and can suppress his subordinates in terms of strength, he is not afraid of their rebellion. Once a war breaks out with an opponent, when you have the advantage, you can invade the opponent's territory and plunder it on the spot to support the war; when you are at a disadvantage, the number of troops under your command will be greatly depleted, and the supplies needed will naturally be greatly reduced. As long as the leader does not If you fail, you still have a chance to make a comeback.
For countless years, demons have formed armies in this way and invaded all directions. In battles with other planes, demons, an army that does not require logistics and can fight with battles, can continue to fight for a long time, and use a diet that is even more exaggerated than locusts, brutally devouring and plundering all flesh and blood creatures and food. , causing great damage to the local area, and the dead demon corpses will pollute the environment and accelerate the transformation of the local area into the demonic realm. It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone.
Lumia, the demon lord of Croa City, is such a "traditional" demon lord. As a "traditional" demon lord, it has a very violent and irritable character. On weekdays, it will command its demon legions to disperse and sweep around the territory. Every now and then, they will try to attack the territory of the Black Witch Cult in the south of the Holy See of Light in the north. Only when their troops are exhausted too much will they stop the conquest and collect resources for the demon blood pool in the territory, waiting to be collected from the demon blood pool. The hatched worms evolve into imps, providing it with troops. He would also have nothing to do, drink, have fun and be debauched in the castle it called "Bloodstone Castle".
During this period, it happened to send a team of 20,000 people south in an attempt to intercept a team of Black Witch Cult from the Black Earth Continent to Shenzhou, the sorcerers on the front line of the battle with the Demonic Alliance. However, they did not expect that there were actually several strong ones among the Black Witch Cult wizards. Or, after several large-scale witchcrafts, half of the demon army was killed, and the rest all collapsed and fled. Most of them were captured by the wizards and taken back to the headquarters of the Black Witch Cult to be used as materials for witchcraft experiments.
After suffering such a defeat, Lumia was naturally very angry, but after the battle, the team of the Black Witch Cult clapped their hands and continued eastward without stopping at the same place. No matter how angry it was, it was impossible to pursue them all the way to China. Go, after all, it still needs to be in charge of the lair. The relationship between demons is very bad. If it is absent for a long time, other neighboring demon lords will regard this place as a piece of fat and send troops to seize it. There is no need to ask why Lumia is so sure, because this kind of thinking of fighting and plundering has penetrated into the essence of the devil, even when it looks at the territory of its surrounding "neighbors", it does so.
Because the distance was very close, it also felt the movement when Mo Yunzi arrived, but because it was not strong enough, it did not realize how strong the other party was. It only felt that it was forcing itself to be strong, but it also found that the other party did not lead the demon. The army was conquering everywhere, and it immediately came to this conclusion - this was a powerful but weak demon lord.
You must know that in the Abyss Demon Realm, even the Demon Lord, once it loses its army, will be attacked by other demon lords who are weaker than it, and will occasionally be defeated. Because the will of the abyss has a characteristic, that is, it "likes" the winner. In other words, once it fails, even a strong person at the level of a demon monarch will be disgusted by the will of the abyss, thus weakening its strength and giving other challengers the upper hand. Opportunity.
In the eyes of "traditional lord" Lumia, Mo Yunzi looks like this kind of loser. Otherwise, how could he come to this place with only such a small amount of troops to invade a plane that he couldn't reach. Suddenly, the fire of ambition in its heart began to burn brightly.
