Chapter 940: Northern Expedition to the Demon Realm (Part 1)
The various elite troops dispatched by the Song Dynasty court, in addition to the main force marching to the northwest demonic realm, the task of other partial troops is to cooperate with cities in various places to clean up the wilderness monsters and restore order to people's livelihood.
Compared with the real demon lord, the wilderness demon leader is easier to deal with. This kind of demon leader has not received systematic education and training, and all he has learned relies on the knowledge given by the will of the abyss in his blood and his own understanding. He is purely a wild man who does not understand the rules.
Therefore, even if you grow into a high-level demon, you will be regarded as a "country bumpkin" by the real top leaders of the demon army. Unless you truly surrender to a certain demon lord or demon god, you will be excluded from the demon realm.
And none of these wilderness demon commanders are ruthless men who were killed out of thousands of troops. Naturally, they would not bow down to the senior leaders of the demon army before being "beaten by reality", so they simply occupied a place in the wilderness. In the territory, he recruits subordinates everywhere to form a force, and improves his strength by robbing weaker monster gathering places and attacking human towns to steal flesh and soul.
In the current environment where the abyss invades and demonic energy rises, relying on the low-level demons and demonized monsters that are breeding in the wild every moment, they can recruit a lot of subordinates and do well. Many relatively remote towns with insufficient population and defense were repeatedly harassed and attacked by them, and finally had to be evacuated or even directly attacked and massacred.
These guys are like bandits who were born due to the chaos of social order during the war years. They are naturally no match for the Demon Legion and the Song Army, which are like regular armies, but they bully ordinary towns and people, but they are more ferocious than the others.
What's more, they can grow into demon leaders in the process of fighting, swallowing and absorbing a large number of flesh-and-blood souls and demonic auras of local creatures, and mutate into a kind of "alien demon" similar to demons in the human world during their growth and transformation.
This type of demon leader is not as strongly suppressed by the planes as the abyss demons. They can exert most of their strength in battle. They have rich combat experience and know how to escape. If there are no elite legions or strong people at the Void Return level, it will be difficult to wipe them out. .
Although they have mutated greatly, they are still evil monsters of the demon genus. Broadly speaking, they are part of the Abyss Demon Realm camp. Although the upper echelons of the demon army look down on them, they are also happy for them to consume the power and population of the human race, so they also acquiesce. They occupy the remote and remote wilderness areas that are looked down upon.
But at that time, a large number of elite human legions needed to confront the real demon legions in the border towns to defend against invasion. The weaker inland garrison troops did not have Void Return-level powerhouses to guard them, so they could not take action to deal with them.
Now that evil gods are causing trouble in the Demon Realm, the main force of the demon army cannot go out. The good days of these wilderness demons are finally over.
But after suppressing a demon leader and eliminating the threat to Zhangye City, I did not take action again. Unless there are special circumstances, even hostile parties will not bully the smaller ones casually. Otherwise, it’s not like the various sects can’t invite one or two golden immortals who are in retreat or magic weapons to suppress the sect, so why not clean up Yunei directly?
Because when the highest combat capabilities are equal, the high-end combat capabilities of both sides need to monitor each other.
Just as I suppress the demon leader like dust, if the great demon attacks practitioners below the immortal level, it will also be crushing. Therefore, even if it is for the purpose of intimidation, the strong men and demons will always pay attention to each other. The movements of strong men and often patrol their own sphere of influence.
The great demon gods have been in the human world for many years, but they have not set out to cause major destruction in the human sphere of influence. Is it just because their strength is suppressed by the laws of heaven? The fundamental reason is that when he came to the world, he was intimidated by the auras of strong men from various sects, so he was unwilling to take action rashly.
Although there are various coincidences in the many riots of the evil gods of the universe, they are probably the result of the acquiescence of the great demons on the devil's side in order to contain the strong men on the human side. However, Yunlong's secret action has always allowed the devil's side to move. Just kicking a stone and hitting yourself in the foot.
Although I have taken action several times over the years, each time it was under extremely secretive circumstances. Not only did I cast spells in advance to temporarily isolate the exchange of energy with the outside world, but I also disrupted the heavenly organization afterwards to hide my existence. Therefore, I have always been Not noticed by outsiders.
Because he has always hidden his identity and aura, he has not been listed as a surveillance target by the devil, so he can secretly push the situation to his advantage. Even so, he only took advantage of the civil strife in the Demon Realm and Xuanhuang Skynet could use its strength to help.
Being able to act secretly is a very big advantage. Over the years, relying on this almost "invisibility" advantage, the main body and the major clones have gained a lot of benefits, so if it is not necessary, even if they are as indifferent as the main body, Nor is he willing to give up this advantage.
Moreover, as the opportunity for the Golden Immortal Tribulation is getting closer and closer, I am becoming more and more cautious. Even if I cast spells from a distance, I am not willing to make any big moves, for fear that my breath will be leaked and my promotion to the Heavenly Tribulation will be changed.
Golden Immortal is the highest level that this world can reach. Once promoted, there will be a lot of noise. In order to eliminate external interference to the greatest extent, it is necessary to keep one's own information secret.
Therefore, after suppressing the demon leader, I did not take any further action. But he also used the Xuanhuang Sky Net to mark and bless all the human cities within the coverage area, so that the demon-suppressing stakes that were put in place could be perfectly integrated into the city's defense system.
But the demon-suppressing pile alone is not enough, it must be assisted by the army. Only by clearing out the demonic groups in the wilderness and eliminating or expelling the demonic leaders in the wilderness can the demon-suppressing piles and the city defense formation be combined with the heavenly net, the earthly veins at the bottom, and the human way, so that the three talents of heaven, earth and man can operate smoothly and build a perfect defense system.
The army equipped with the latest weapon refining equipment moved very quickly. In less than a week, some partial divisions had begun to cooperate with the towns to clear away the monster groups in the wilderness.
In the wilderness outside a certain city, groups of human soldiers formed a dense formation, forming a red-yellow protective layer formed by the power of the military evil outside the body, resisting various spells and long-range projections Attack, driving large numbers of monsters from all directions to an unobstructed flat area.
Then, under the command of the commander-in-chief, the military flags were waved and the military formations were transformed. The power of the army changed from the heavy red and yellow "protection" to the sharp red and white "attack".
In addition to covering the weapon with a layer of light to enhance its lethality, the power of Junsha also brings a sense of coercion, which shocks the demons and monsters who are cornered and have to launch a reverse charge to kill them. , the speed and momentum were reduced by three points.
"Puff! Crash!" kept ringing out on the battlefield. When the last demon and the monster that dared to resist were killed, the general ordered the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield and put Thurs out. The remaining monsters that were trembling and lying on the ground were tied up and carried away, leaving them to be purified and tamed in the future.
