Chapter 222 "Insidious and Cunning" Wang Fugui
While the demon envoy Suya who killed Young Master Mingran was captured by Wang Fugui, the battle situation in the eastern defense zone also gradually changed.
You know, this time, Chaoyang King and Ji Yuer did not come by themselves. Also coming with them were the soldiers recruited from the Immortal Dynasty by the Immortal Emperor.
These soldiers are mainly the reserves of the Immortal Dynasty, the volunteers sent by various families, and the regular troops who returned to the Immortal Dynasty to rest after the previous defense change.
Although the combat effectiveness of this batch of reinforcements is uneven, the number is quite large. As they joined the battlefield one after another, the military resources that could be mobilized in the eastern defense zone increased greatly. With the addition of two Lingxu realm bosses, Chaoyang Wang and Ji Yueer, the defensive pressure immediately began to gradually decrease.
And some key figures also began to shine.
For example, Wang Yingxuan, her reputation as the "Female Military Goddess" has gradually spread throughout the Immortal Dynasty base. What she is best at is leading a battle group to make large detours. Wherever there is a need, Wang Yingxuan will appear.
She is like a tireless war machine, traveling thousands of miles just to attack the weak points of the demon army.
Her existence, in a sense, can even be said to have changed the pattern of the war. The originally well-organized wing of the Demon Clan Alliance was actually hit with holes everywhere by her. This forced the Demon Clan Army to constantly adjust its battlefield troops and even allocate a part of its troops to guard against Wang Yingxuan's sneak attacks. Find the loophole.
This also caused the demon army to have to expend more energy than before in order to achieve the same strategic goal. Military strength, this is equivalent to weakening the strength of the demon alliance in disguise.
In addition, what is famous with Wang Yingxuan is the strange magical shield that follows her.
That quality card is a kite-shaped quality card, with a beautiful drop-shaped appearance, and it flies very fast.
Logically speaking, as a shield, you should focus on defense.
But this shield named [Liu An'an] did the opposite. It followed Wang Yingxuan around the battlefield all day long, appearing wherever danger came.
Moreover, its combat method is also extremely weird. It stirs up a thick energy shield and does not defend it. Instead, it uses the energy shield filled with unstable magic crystals and Wang's explosive bombs, and rushes directly into the enemy camp to attack them one after another. Throw things down, then run away after throwing them, coming and going like the wind, like a battlefield bomber.
When being chased by enemy masters, it often screams "exciting" with excitement.
Compared with the cautious and cautious Liu Anping in the past, his personality has been completely distorted and released, and he has begun to wander on the edge of life and death in search of excitement.
It finally understands why those previous owners were so promiscuous. Isn’t it because of excitement?
This is the real "shield life".
What? Why am I running so fast? Quack, as a shield, isn’t it natural for me to run fast?
Today, Liu Ping'an has completely forgotten that the reason why he developed the ability to run fast is because he often needs to carry the owner of "Langli Baitiao" to escape.
In addition to Wang Yingxuan, there was another woman who also became famous during this period.
She is the young female hero from the Demon Dynasty, Wang Ruobing.
As a non-staff member of the Demon Dynasty's reinforcements [Red Tiger Chapter], she killed enemy generals several times on the battlefield, giving the Red Tiger Chapter a huge advantage.
When the Red Tiger Chapter was facing a crisis, she led a small number of elites to the rear several times, bravely killing the enemy and protecting the retreat of the large army. On one occasion, she even personally beheaded a prominent demon lord. , shocking the enemy's pursuers.
This not only won her great popularity, but also made the soldiers in the Red Tiger Chapter's admiration for her grow day by day.
At the same time, the old marshal "Chaoyang King" who personally visited the frontline battlefield also exerted his "remaining heat" on the battlefield.
It's just that the residual heat seems to be a bit too hot.
She once faced a joint attack from three demon kings, and everyone thought she would probably die on the battlefield.
But she never thought that just when she was in a state of extreme distress, she suddenly took out a fairy sword and killed one demon king in a sneak attack, and severely injured another one. If the opponent's reinforcements hadn't seen the opportunity and ran into them quickly, and the two demon kings ran very fast, she would have had a triple kill if she couldn't protect them.
Such a brilliant record made Chaoyang King suddenly become as popular, and his reputation was as high as the scorching sun.
The only little regret is that this tactic of taking advantage of information gaps to take advantage of others can only be used once. Now that everyone knows she has a fairy sword in her hand, which demon king would dare to challenge her to a duel?
But there are benefits to this.
As the Chaoyang King's achievements are known to everyone, on the battlefield, whenever the Chaoyang King appears, the opponent's Demon King does not dare to say that he is running away, but at least he is hiding under heavy protection, and he never dares to go out alone.
This also gave the soldiers in the eastern defense zone a lot of breathing space, and also gave them more possibilities to move around.
at the same time.
The changes in the war situation also affected the demon alliance.
now.
At the junction of the territories of Demon God Mingsha and Demon God Yinsha, a temporary meeting was being held in a makeshift camp.
In the simple conference hall, a thick outworld fire candle was burning, and the mellow fragrance spread along with the pure devilish energy, filling the entire conference hall.
At both ends of the conference table, two demon gods exuding powerful auras were sitting.
Sitting on the left is the projection of the Yinsha Demon God.
It still has the same appearance that confuses all living beings, its posture is lazy, and every move exudes charming charm. But at this moment, it had a sullen face and was obviously not in a good mood.
Sitting on the other end is the projection of the Demon God. Its handsome face also had a gloomy expression at the moment, and its whole body exuded a gloomy aura.
The two bowed their heads, and a large group of demon kings were scrambling to complain about the recent battle.
These demon kings have different images, but except for a few that are similar to human figures, most demon kings are quite ferocious in appearance. At a glance, the group of demons dancing around really looks like the legendary purgatory.
The demon kings who were the main force of the attack had suffered heavy losses recently, and all of them looked ugly at the moment. There was one more empty seat in the originally full seat.
It was very obvious that a demon king had fallen.
Among the living demon kings, the Bloody Demon King is the most miserable.
Because Young Master Mingran died in its territory, it was naturally blamed, and was even almost killed directly by the extremely angry Demon God Mingran.
In order to save its life, it had no choice but to rush to the front when troops were dispatched, trying to exchange military exploits for a chance to survive.
But in this way, its losses will naturally be huge.
"Lord Demon God, there have been more and more reinforcements from the human side recently, and the Chaoyang King is even more ruthless, always looking for opportunities to kill one or two more demon kings. Our offensive is blocked and the losses are getting bigger and bigger. If we fight again Go down, I will soon have no more demon soldiers, you have to think of a way~" The Bloody Demon King's face was slumped, full of distress.
It can be regarded as suffering an unreasonable disaster, but it just wanted to bribe Young Master Mingran to change it to a better territory. Who would have thought that things would develop like this?
"You deserve it~" Hearing what it said, the Red Iron Demon King sneered, with a scowl on his ferocious face. "If you hadn't made your own decision and invited the young master over, how could the young master have encountered an accident?"
Hearing this, the face of the Ming Ran Demon God suddenly became more gloomy, and the expression he looked at the Bloody Demon King became even more unkind.
The Bloody Demon King suddenly didn't dare to say anything anymore.
The Red Iron Demon King's complexion did not improve much.
Recalling the battle reports coming from the rear, it felt heartbroken when it thought of the stolen treasures in its warehouse, and couldn't help complaining to Demon God Xisha: "Master Demon God, my Demon King's Castle has suffered thousands of crimes." Huanbu's sneak attack caused heavy losses. The demon soldiers are now in a state of panic and have no intention of fighting. You have to make the decision for us."""
Upon hearing this, several other demon kings who had their homes stolen suddenly felt the same. They all shouted angrily, wanting to go back for revenge, and wanted to cut the guy who took advantage of the chaos into pieces.
For a time, the scene was noisy, and the entire conference hall was filled with their noise.
The Yinshao Demon God was already in a bad mood. Listening to their noise, his mood suddenly became even worse. He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "That's enough! What kind of nonsense is this?"
There was a sudden silence in the conference hall.
For a moment, those demon kings looked at the expression of the Yinshao Demon God and did not dare to speak.
The anger of the Yin Marriage Demon God finally dissipated a little.
It took a deep breath, then stared at the projection of Demon God Mingran with evil eyes, and asked: "Mingran, you promised me so much at the beginning, saying that as long as you act according to your plan, you can not only avenge the heirs of your family, but also If we can capture the eastern defense area of Xian No. 3 and clear the foundation for the realm of Zhang Xia Xian No. 3, it will be easy to welcome the return of the Demon Lord."
"But now that the war situation has become like this, what are you going to do?"
"In this battle, it is true that this demon god has entered a bit rashly." Qixi Demon God rubbed his brows and spoke in a deep voice,
It was actually in a bad mood. However, this war was started with its impetus. It had an unshirkable responsibility for the situation to become what it is now.
Facing the Yinshao Demon God's questioning, although it was angry in its heart, it still managed to be patient and said: "Now calm down and think about it carefully, I'm afraid this time the situation is not that simple. Maybe it is the human race, the immortals and the demons who have joined forces. The purpose of the conspiracy is to weaken us."
"The current battle situation is at a stalemate, and the outcome cannot be decided in a short period of time. According to this demon, it is better to temporarily attack. Let's retreat back. First, kill Chao Qianjue's thief and stabilize our rear. We will make a decision later. But no matter what, I must get back this demon’s true demon seed."
This wave of people who were attacked by the Little Demon Lord were all demon kings in the territory of Demon God Mingran. They complained openly or covertly, which also put a lot of pressure on Demon God Mingran. In addition, as time goes by, the number of stolen property kings is gradually increasing. If you continue to let it go, the losses will probably become bigger and bigger, and eventually it will become impossible to recover.
"Hmph!" The Yinshao Demon God had an unparalleled look on his beautiful face, "Ming Ran, it was you who said you were going to fight at first, but now you are the one who said you were going to retreat. Do you think that in this situation, you can fight if you want to? If you want to fight, you can retreat if you want to? Without me nodding sinisterly, who would dare to retreat?!"
After saying that, the projection of the Yin Marriage Demon God ended and became thinner and thinner, turning into dots of light and shadow and gradually dissipating.
It was very obvious that she did not intend to continue discussing with Demon God Mingran and left angrily.
All the demon kings, especially the demon kings under the command of the Demon God, all looked at each other in confusion. No one dared to speak, and they all turned to look at the projection of the Demon God.
Although Demon God Mingran was embarrassed, he could only follow Demon God Yinsha's words: "Since we are a coalition, Demon God Yinshao's opinion is also very important. Since she refuses to retreat, then continue to fight! Our reinforcements from all walks of life are also Already on the way. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will turn the human race's eastern defense zone into a meat grinder!"
"You are worried that the battle losses will all be attributed to this demon god. I will make up for everyone afterwards. Anyone who has an opinion at this time is secretly my enemy."
At the end of the sentence, Demon God Netherworld's tone had become serious.
The pressure of the devil from this world spread in the conference hall, and even the air became extremely oppressive, making people almost breathless.
"Yes, Your Majesty Mingsha."
Although all the demon kings were worried, they also had stern looks on their faces, and they hurriedly cheered up and agreed in unison,
at the same time. Yinshao Demon Temple. Inner Temple.
Under the high dome, several rough and gorgeous palace lanterns were hung at random, and brilliant colored halos bloomed from them. The changing light and shadow illuminated the entire inner hall in a dreamy and confusing way.
Amid the light, crimson gauze hung down, dividing the entire inner hall into several relatively independent small spaces.
As the gauze swayed, there was a stream of light, which was so coquettish and beautiful that it was too beautiful to behold.
This is the most private place in the entire Yinsha Demon Temple, and it is also the core of the entire Yinsha Demon Temple. According to the consistent character of the Yin Marriage Demon God, male demons have never been allowed to enter here.
But at this moment, in her inner palace full of witch-like sentiments, there was a male demon.
It has a strong body, strong muscles, and is full of endless explosive power.
If Wang Fugui were here, he would definitely be recognized at a glance. This male demon is clearly the [Dragon Blood Demon God] transformed by Xia Yang.
At this time, it had just started practicing. The boiling dragon's blood had not yet completely subsided, and waves of scorching demonic flames steamed out.
If a demon or human monk with lower strength approaches at this time, they may be directly burned to ashes by the heat wave of the demon flame.
"Dragon blood."
Suddenly, a graceful female voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards, the charming and swaying figure of the Yinsha Demon God appeared in the inner hall like a ghost.
In the blurred light and shadow, her snow-white and soft skin seemed to be coated with a hazy halo, becoming more and more enchanting and charming, turning all living beings upside down.
However, at this moment, it is obviously not in the mood to show off its charm.
An unpleasant meeting had just begun, and the Yinshao Demon God was not in a good mood at the moment. She glanced coldly at Xia Yang's extremely strong body, and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "You have already consumed twenty 'Demon God Crystals', and you haven't recovered to the body of the Demon God yet. Isn't it a bit too useless?" "
The fighting situation and Mingran's cowardly attitude of retreating after the battle both made her feel unhappy. If this continued, when would it be possible to lay down the seam barrier in the Immortal No. 3 realm, enter the human world, and welcome the return of the Demon Lord?
Moreover, this dragon's blood is also unreliable. After pouring a lot of resources on it, it has not been able to recover its strength. It is really useless.
"Yinsha!" Xia Yang glanced at the Demon God Yinshao with "aggressive" eyes, and a nonchalant evil smile appeared on his ferocious face, "You and I can try practicing together. Maybe I can regain my strength in one go. ."
As he spoke, he licked his lips with a rather coveted look, making the [Dragon-Blooded Demon God]'s lewdness, evil, and debauchery come to life.
However, while doing this, Xia Yang was also wailing in his heart,
Miaomiao, "You must forgive me, this is all what that brat Yao Changkang ordered me to do. He said that he wanted to show the nature of the Dragon-Blooded Demon God so as not to make the Yinshao Demon God suspicious.
I, Xia Yang, am sacrificing myself for the entire human race~~
"Bastard!" Demon God Yinsha became furious when he heard this, "How dare you even make plans for this Demon God's Yuan Yin? This Demon God's Yuan Yin is reserved for the Demon Lord until the Demon Lord returns to the Demon Clan. After that, with my help, you can speed up your recovery of strength, so that you can unify the demon world as soon as possible and start the current chaos."
As we all know, the bloodline of the Yinshao Demon God is extremely rare, and its Yuan Yin can help other demons to rapidly increase their strength. As early as those years, the demon gods of this line have always been the demon lord's favored concubines. Among the demons, Has an extremely ordinary status.
The Demon God Yinsha has always been obsessed with welcoming the Demon Lord back, which has something to do with this.
After all, once the demon lord returns, as the first hero to welcome the demon lord back, its status will naturally rise, becoming a small existence under one demon and above all demons.
Hearing it mention the Demon Lord, Xia Yang also showed a "fearful" expression at the right time, with a touch of flattery in his tone, "Yes, yes, or Yinsha, you have to think long term."
"eat!"
Seeing his understanding, the Yinshao Demon God snorted coldly, but did not get angry again. Instead, he lectured: "Dragon Blood, don't forget your mission. The Demon Lord's demon soul worked hard to get you out, is it? I want you to be the pioneer."
"I also hope to rescue Lord Xi Feng as soon as possible." Tan Xia Yang looked "extremely anxious". "When I think of my Lord's demon soul being trapped in the vortex of space, I feel extremely anxious. Fen, I wish I could replace it with my own body, but my strength was wasted too much while I was trapped, and this demonic body was transformed from a human after all, so I couldn't break through it for a while. It felt like it was just a little bit behind. "
undoubtedly.
This move by Yao Chan is a damaging move that she learned from Wang Fugui.
Previously, Wang Shouzhe had already known through [Wu Mingyan] how stubborn the Yinsha Demon God was in rescuing the Demon Lord. Before Yao Chankang came to the outside world, Wang Shouzhe informed him of all the information that might be useful, including the following:
Yao Cangkang took advantage of this and made the [Dragon-Blooded Demon God] incarnated by Xia Yang lie to claim that he was the vanguard sent by the Demon Lord with all his efforts, and showed an appearance of being extremely loyal to the Demon Lord.
The Yinshao Demon God is in urgent need of allies now. When she meets such a "fellow demon" who has the same goal, she is naturally eager for the Dragon-Blooded Demon God to regain her strength so that she can help her welcome back the Demon Lord.
Of course, the reason why the Yinshao Demon God is so suspicious of Xia Yang's words is because the Dragon-Blooded Demon God was the Demon Lord's vanguard general back then. As famous as its bravery and fearlessness, it is its recklessness, brainlessness, courage and lack of plan, which belongs to strength. A typical representative of greater wisdom.
According to the incomplete historical records of the demon clan, the dragon-blooded demon is indeed a very trusted subordinate of the demon lord, at least, that is true on the surface.
Hearing what Xia Yang said, Demon God Yinsha's face became uncertain again: "But, I have given you all the Demon God Crystals I can take out, and I no longer have any inventory in hand."
"Isn't it?" Xia Yang looked "shocked", as if he had heard something incredible, "You are a sinister demon god, but you only have twenty demon items? How can you be so poor?"
"Dragon Blood, this era is different from the ancient times." A look of embarrassment and anger flashed across the Yinshao Demon God's beautiful face, "Today's resources are far inferior to those in ancient times. I can take out twenty I have been deliberately accumulating these Demon God Crystals over the years, ready to give them to the Demon Lord to restore my strength.
"Sorry, sorry, I don't understand the situation. I understand your loyalty to Lord Xi Feng and your worries. When the time comes, I will definitely demonstrate my merits for you in front of the Demon Lord." Xia Yang also said with admiration on his face, " I suspect that Lord Demon Lord will be very pleased to know about your efforts over the years."
Having said this, Xia Yang paused for a moment, and a look of annoyance appeared on his ferocious demonic face: "It's all my fault that I'm too smart and haven't regained my strength even after using so many resources.
Then, he looked at the Yinsha Demon God eagerly: "You are also the Lord of Demon Gods after all. How about you go and borrow some?"
"What can I borrow? Who can borrow demonic items?" Demon God Yinsha bit his lips and said, "If it really doesn't work, I will sell some assets and exchange them with other demons for some demonic items. Dragon Blood, please be honest. How far do you still have to go?"
"I feel like twenty more coins will be enough." "What? Twenty coins?! Go to hell?!"
"Fifteen pieces, no more."
"Ten pieces, at most I can give you ten more. If you can't break through this time, I will kill you."
"Okay, okay, ten is ten. Yinshao, hurry up, I'm afraid the Lord Demon Lord will be waiting for a long time." a......
The Yinshao Demon God glared at Xia Yang fiercely, turned around and left
Looking at the back of the Yin Marriage Demon God leaving, Xia Yang felt extremely simple.
In fact, twenty Demon God Crystals are completely enough to restore the Demon God's strength. The reason for the current situation is that he used half of the twenty demonic items and saved half.
Even though the two sides were on opposite sides, he felt a little guilty for deceiving the Demon God of Yinsha in this way.
Alas~ Compared with that boy Yao Changkang, the Yinshao Demon God is still too simple.
Even he felt that Fugui's plan was too shameless, too insidious and cunning. This was not a plan that anyone could come up with.
However, this strategy is really effective.
Fugui said that as the Yinshao Demon God invests more and more, as long as she sees hope, no matter how much she curses or complains and looks like she wants to kill him, she will not give up.
This is the nature of all intelligent creatures, and demons are no exception.
What is this professional term called?
【Sunk costs】?
Yes, it is [sunk cost]
