Chapter 294 Stygian City
A demon with two wings on his back, similar in height to the ice demon, extremely strong, with gray-black skin and strong horns also flew from afar, this demon danced in his hands The three-pronged steel fork quickly threw several flaming arrows at the devil. Nohir also recognized the type of devil.
This is a male overlord demon, also known as a horned demon. Judging from the appearance alone, this demon may be the closest to the public’s impression of creatures from the lower planes, and at this time these two The devil is attacking from both sides by constantly releasing various powerful spell-like abilities, holding back the Giant Skull Demon's attack.
They are very cautious and try to keep a distance to prevent themselves from entering the attack range of the Giant Skull Demon's natural abilities. They have ways to deal with most of the spell abilities, but they are unable to prevent the Giant Skull Demon's distortion. Ripples, even they are not willing to go up.
"Okay, it seems that there is no need to worry about the outcome of the battlefield below in a short time. As long as this demon does not die, the devils will not be able to relax their vigilance. They will kill most of them. The energy is focused on dealing with the demon army, and with the addition of the Giant Skull Demon on the demon side, they will not be completely defeated in a short time."
Nohir looked down. At this time, the devil's artillery fire had begun to unleash its power. Dense solid shells and giant crossbow arrows were continuously fired at the giant skull demon. The devil used his natural ability to continuously shoot down these flying projectiles, but such an offensive It's really too dense, and the Giant Skull Demon's natural abilities cannot be used without limit.
At this time, his brain had begun to obviously swell due to excessive use of abilities. When his brain swelled to the point that even the chains wrapped around him could no longer restrain him, the Giant Skull Demon finally Finally, he couldn't help but open his mouth full of fangs. After a high-pitched roar spread throughout the battlefield, the Giant Skull Demon finally floated back.
Some high-level demons who were originally fighting in the front retreated directly against the demon tide. Those demons in the rear who were about to pounce also stopped charging in the chaos. Only those on the front line were killed. The low-level demons in the eyes were still attacking in vain, and then were gradually wiped out by the demons without any help.
The demons temporarily stopped their offensive under the order of the Giant Skull Demon, but looking down at the battlefield from Nohir's perspective, you can see that a steady stream of small demons are gathering from all directions. How long will it take for the demons to make up for their losses? They retreat temporarily just to launch a more massive attack next time.
“Now the battlefield has fallen into some kind of strange balance. I originally thought that if the pressure on the devil’s side was not great, then I would try to sneak attack a devil at the level of a legion commander, which would suppress the devil’s side. Combat strength, and understanding the current situation in hell from his mind, maybe he can also find Haruman’s current location, but it seems that this may not be possible now.”
Nohir looked around the surrounding environment. A tributary of the River Styx ran across the battlefield below. Eight giant fortresses were scattered at eight fulcrums on the battlefield. These fortresses were acting as anchors to fix Eltoril. It is the first line of defense against demons invading Eltoril.
It can be seen from the previous battle that by relying on the eight fortresses to watch each other, two legion commander-level demons can temporarily block the attack of the giant skull demon, but if one of the fortresses When the top combat power disappears, that direction will become a breakthrough. Whether it is attacking the fortress directly or attacking the nearby fortress, the devil will not wait for the support it should have.
So Nohir can't break the balance between them, and today's incident also reminded him that a legendary giant-skull demon can run directly to the bottom of the city to fight with the devil, then It's not impossible that a Balor Balrog would come to the city the next day and kill everyone. Thinking of this, Nohir stopped staying too much. After making sure that there would be no major changes in the battle line below, he quickly flew towards the originally planned target.
Nohir obtained part of the map about Avernus from the hunter. It is almost impossible to obtain the complete map. Even if he asked Gargoth, he did not have it. The ability gives Nohir a complete map, because the first level of hell is so big that even a native devil would have a hard time figuring out what is waiting for them between the two destinations.
Demons can often find wandering warlords out of control in the wild, unknown gathering places that do not exist on the map, demons that accidentally break in when demons do not invade on a large scale, powerful hell monsters, and even some outer planets. Travelers from other worlds are not uncommon in hell. The existence of these things makes the entire hell extremely dangerous even for devils.
However, as long as he follows the previously planned journey, Nohir has a high probability of avoiding these dangers. Although the map drawn by the hunter is not complete, he can still calculate the surrounding area. Very familiar.
Flying high in the sky, Nohir took out the map captured from the hunter from the space box.
“Let me take a look. According to what is said on the map, the location below the city is called Styx Outpost. Walking northeast from here, there is a large settlement built by the devil 20 miles away [ Stygian City], uh, it can also be called Stygian Hatching Pool, or Stygian Pier."
"When the devil eggs in the river are washed ashore, there will be special little devils. Collected and then centrally stored in city buildings similar to Stygia for unified incubation, where a large number of devil legions were stationed to protect their important sources of soldiers. The city was built on the edge of the Styx and had a large number of docks and ships. Responsible for transporting these troops to various battlefields through the tributaries of the Styx.”
"This characteristic makes it an important strategic location. The ruler there must know the direction of the movement of many demon legions. He has a high probability of knowing where Haruman and the legions he leads are currently."
Nohir put away the map. He had determined the specific location of Stygia City. If he walked on land, he would have to pass through three relatively dangerous places, but for those who can fly , for him who can still dive at critical moments, those dangers are almost impossible to threaten him.
“You can reach your destination by flying through the Bone Thorn Forest where the Bone Demon Legion is stationed, crossing Mount Ganggar occupied by a group of fire giants, and passing through a fortress ruled by the Night Hag Warlord. Tsk, this It was really dangerous along the way. There are all kinds of monsters and monsters in hell. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be if I couldn’t fly.”
