"Spread out! Spread out quickly! Don't get together!"
A pit fiend commander who had just escaped from Belial's "death roll" through a spell-like ability - advanced teleportation roared loudly at his subordinates who had suffered heavy losses.
In fact, there was no need for him to remind him at all. When they saw such a terrifying giant monster rushing towards them, most of the devils who had the ability to teleport and reacted almost immediately chose to use magic to run away.
After all, their name as the race that is best at "strategic retreat" in the universe is not for nothing.
In fact, the devil has two very distinctive characteristics when fighting or even war.
First, these guys will never show mercy, nor will they deliberately play tricks on their prey like demons when they have the advantage. Instead, they will use all their strength to annihilate the enemy from the beginning.
Second, if you find that the opponent is stronger than expected after exerting all your strength at the beginning, then the devil will choose "strategic retreat" without hesitation, without any hesitation.
Unless their immediate superiors issue a fatal order, requiring them to hold back the enemy at all costs and not retreat even half a step.
The most important thing is that as long as the devils successfully overcome the lemures and the little devils become Barb Devils, they will gain the spell-like ability to cast unlimited [Advanced Teleportation (self only)] every day.
Therefore, every mid-level and high-level devil can quickly enter the battlefield and launch a surprise attack through repeated teleportation in a short period of time, and then retreat before the opponent can react.
A clever devil commander will make full use of this, first ordering a large number of the lowest-level cannon fodder lemures and various undead creatures to block the front, and at the same time divide his mid-level and high-level devils into different batches, and launch raids through repeated cuts to create
Chaos.
As long as there is a disconnect between the enemy's formation and command system, they will immediately take action to seize the weak points and beat them to death with a combination of punches.
In the midst of a bloody battle, the devils were able to pin down demons that were several or even ten times more numerous than themselves on the ground with very few troops. They relied on this clever tactic, the army's strong discipline and unparalleled execution ability.
.
Although intermediate and high-level demons can also use the spell-like ability of [Advanced Teleportation] at will, their chaotic nature determines that they are unable to execute such sophisticated tactics.
It is estimated that after completing the teleportation and cutting-in, it will not take long for the demons to become so excited that they forget about retreat.
As a result, the surprise retreat evolved into a suicide charge, and the losses to oneself were far greater than the casualties caused to the opponent.
Therefore, what the demons are best at is to take advantage of their overwhelming numerical advantage and their uncertain individual combat effectiveness, and attack with the whole army with a wave of their hand, each attacking his own enemy.
As mid-level and high-level devils fled from the center of the battlefield, those lemures, little devils, undead creatures, various constructs, hybrid tieflings and other enslaved cannon fodder without the ability to teleport were in bad luck.p>
Although the little devils have released their invisibility spells, they are completely useless in front of the ever-expanding Bilaire.
Anywhere he crushed, not to mention any living things, would be swallowed up by a large piece of magma.
And those eyes at the ends of the tentacles seem to have a natural anti-invisibility function.
Countless little devils were still invisible, but were captured by tentacles that were a mixture of flesh, bone, and metal, and then stuffed into those huge mouths and crushed to pieces, making painful and pitiful screams.
As for the lemures who had no consciousness in the first place and just obeyed orders in a muddle-headed manner, the situation was even worse. They died almost within a few minutes.
There is no doubt that in the process of continuous perfection, Belial has acquired an ability that other Phyrexian creations do not have, and that is endless devouring.
Perhaps it is due to the pain caused by the extreme resistance to the corrosion of the mind by the shining oil, or it may be the sin and depravity corresponding to the single form of the great devil.
In short, the more painful he felt, the more he wanted to vent it out, thus deriving this unique form.
Moreover, Zuo Si could clearly feel that as more and more materials and energy were swallowed, the oil engine being formed inside became extremely huge.
It even exceeds the combined total of all the Demon Judges in the New Phyrexia forces, including Elenon.
In such a state, Bilaire is like the ultimate sutured life form.
The brains and souls of a large number of devils are integrated in a strange way, and under the control of the central controller, they control one or several tentacles in a relatively independent form.
The spells and attacks that continuously explode on the surface of the huge oval body can at best only damage one or several terminal control units, but have no effect on the core hidden inside.
The most important thing is that Shuoyou will continue to repair, transform, upgrade, and iterate so that it can continuously evolve in battle.
At present, some magic-like abilities obtained by devouring high-level devils can already allow the tentacles at the end to open portals and directly cross the distance in space to attack the abyss fiends, snake demons and horned demons hiding in the distance.
Commander.
Not only that, he also formed a structure similar to a processing workshop in his body, constantly creating some weird constructed creatures that resembled clones with mouths and tentacles, and looked like mutant eye demons.
The moment these guys are released, they will directly use their own anti-gravity flight and magic teleportation to suddenly flash to a relatively densely populated area to launch attacks.
Even though they look small and exquisite compared to Bilaire's body.
But in fact, each one has a diameter of thirty to fifty meters, and the larger ones may exceed one hundred meters.
As long as they successfully swallow enough creatures, these guys will flash back instantly and transfer the energy and matter obtained from decomposition to the mother body.
"Damn it! Who can tell me what this thing is? Why have I never heard of such a thing on the fourth floor before?"
Seeing that the Devil Legion under his command suffered heavy losses, and that the entire forward section was almost wiped out before reaching its destination, Viscount Maman finally couldn't bear it anymore and sternly questioned the most powerful Devil Dukes under his command.p>
It's a pity that no one can answer his question.
Even the intelligence chief chose to close his mouth and lower his head, not daring to look into those snake-like eyes.
After all, they spend so many resources every year to infiltrate the fourth level and plant spies. Logically speaking, there should not be any secrets in the entire level.
But this huge monster of unknown origin in front of me was like a loud slap, hitting the faces of all the senior executives present.
What's even more terrible is that they have absolutely no way to deal with this behemoth. They have tried many times to control or even completely destroy it, but in the end they all failed without exception.
Even if hundreds of high-level devils gathered together to perform a magic ritual and summoned a huge flaming meteorite falling from the sky, it only flattened the huge oval body a little.
To be precise, at the moment the meteorite hit it, an invisible red energy protective force field suddenly emerged, followed by a large number of tentacles that gathered together to form an amazing buffer, successfully deflecting most of the damage to the river of flames next to it.
ri.
You don’t need to ask to know that what Billaire just used was the famous [Anti-Color Protection Ring], a unique spell that can make oneself completely immune to certain energy damage.
Since he himself is a devil, he is naturally closer to red mana, and he has devoured so many devils who also have red mana attributes. It is completely reasonable to finally awaken the [Anti-Red Protection Ring].
In contrast, Zuo Si himself is better at using anti-black, red, and blue color protection.
On the one hand, these three colors are what the old dragon Nicol Bolas is good at, so he puts much more effort and energy in this area than the other two colors of mana.
On the other hand, he is indeed better at and frequently uses the necromancy system that symbolizes black and other magic related to decay and decay, as well as the evocation magic that is full of destructive power, as well as control, change, and mind charm spells.
With the emergence of the [anti-red protective ring], the fire magic that the devils are most proud of has completely lost its effect.
If you want to cause harm to Bilaire, you must rush forward and risk being captured and devoured by engaging in close combat.
And this is obviously no different than sending yourself to death.
"Lord, I think no matter what the monster is, our plan has been exposed and there is no way to move forward.
It's better to retreat to the third level quickly before anyone discovers it.
At least this can reduce losses and prevent other lords from seizing the opportunity to attack.
The most important thing is that we have no idea how His Majesty Asmodeus will react to this kind of transgression."
A devil duke loyal to Maman carefully gave advice.
It is easy to see from his tone and reaction that he does not actually support this dual military and political adventure.
After all, the situation facing the third level is not optimistic, and it does not have any reliable allies.
Being rashly exposed to the sight of all devils will only trigger the joint strangulation of the two major political groups in hell.
"Retreat?
What about the cooperation I reached with Bilaire?
You must know that I have already betrayed my covenant once during the Great Purge!
If it happens a second time, there will never be anyone in hell willing to be my ally."
Viscount Maman asked sternly while spitting out a snake-like letter.
Since the evil and corrupt side he represents is greed, he often does many things that are not in line with "lawful" tendencies in order to protect his own interests or take away the interests of others.
The most direct manifestation is the devil’s never-ending pursuit of wealth on the third level.
In the eyes of most devils at other levels, things that are quite valuable in the material world, such as gold, silver, and gems, are just tools to achieve a certain purpose and lure mortals into signing more soul-selling contracts.
If it's easy, they don't mind collecting more for emergencies, but they will never put them in a position as important as their souls.
Whenever they find that seizing wealth and treasures may attract too dangerous enemies, or threaten other more important plans, the devils will not hesitate to give up.
After all, in hell, only the soul is the truly valuable hard currency, and as long as the primordial contract is still in effect, inflation and devaluation will never occur.
