The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 274 This is no longer an ordinary lizardman, we must strike hard!
The official website of "Disaster Online" is as lively as ever today.

Due to the previous overwhelming victory, many players made a lot of money, especially the guy [Drunk the Chemical Pool in One Breath] who was having a great time selling arms, and a group of professional life players such as [Whale Falls to the North and South], [Shark Drops Things], [Xiao Wan Is Not Full], etc. who collected tens of thousands of lizard skins.

No matter whether they had eaten enough before, everyone got a big meal now, and there were so many raw materials that the warehouse was bursting.

The vast majority of people are very satisfied with the new map.

Except for the mages among combat professional players.

After the battle, many people did not make any money, and some even lost some money.

Orcs provide food and lodging: "MMP! This map is poisonous!"

I want to drink the blue bottle: "Why is it so hard to restore mana?! Did the idiot planner secretly change the parameters?"

Invincible Mage: "+1, it's impossible to push without taking drugs, mage players can leave the group."

Digging their own graves: "Hahahaha! Brothers! Are you still using magic wands to get into jail? Listen to my advice, muskets are much more useful than magic wands! Not only do they have high burst damage, but they can also reduce material loss!"

Skeleton Mage: "Damn, is it too late to switch to a warrior now? (crying)"

Tauren Warrior: "Don't be impulsive, brother! You see, our demon kings are all mages. Maybe in the next version, mages will become stronger!"

The Great Bear: "I can't stand it anymore, I want to make a Gatling gun! (Angry)"

He drank the chemical pool in one gulp: "It's already being done. (Proud)"

Pig-Headed Knight: "Fuck! Your hands are too fast! (Shocked)"

The forum is full of complaints, but most people are still quite satisfied.

After all, it is the development period now.

Although the income from ghost money and experience points is a little less, the income from contribution points is still considerable, which everyone can understand.

Difficulties are only temporary!
The Demon King will never treat his people unfairly!

Just when Mr. Chemistry and Mr. Zheng Fangcheng were arguing about which one was more suitable for the current version, rockets or magic crystal cannons, a post about Assam City suddenly appeared on the forum and quickly attracted the attention of the onlookers.

Teammates were sacrificing: "Fuck, this is too barbaric!!"

The person who posted was none other than the guy who had previously expressed his willingness to explore the way for everyone.

Judging from the sarcastic title, his trip to Assam was obviously not optimistic, otherwise he would not have accumulated so much resentment.

Shark dropped something: "What happened?!"

Whale Falls North and South: "Tell me about it!"

Pig-Headed Knight: "The lizard fucked you?!"

I was playing in the mud in Northeast China: "What does it feel like?"

Mana is boundless: "Fuck! Your taste is a bit strong!"

Teammates are sacrificing to the heavens: "Get lost, what the hell!"

At everyone's strong request, teammate Jitian told the story of his experience in Assam City.

"I and [Infinite Power] rushed all the way, sleeping in the open air, day and night... We finally climbed to this legendary 'Assam City', but as soon as we entered the city gate, we were surrounded by guards. They almost thought we were spies and hung us on the city gate!"

"I was just thinking that the bad planner wouldn't be so bad, and sure enough, a big boss who looked like a priest came out to 'administer justice'. This lizard looked kind and amiable. Not only did he help us out, he also enthusiastically offered to take us around Assam City."

"I was so moved that I believed him. As soon as we entered the temple, he gave each of us a dagger and asked us to offer our hearts to the Dragon God with a smile."

"I was like: ??? Are you polite?"

"Seeing that we refused to obey, the kind-looking old man suddenly turned hostile and stamped his feet as a signal. A group of guards holding obsidian swords immediately rushed up and hacked at us. Although we were skilled in martial arts, two claws could not defeat a hundred claws, and those dogs were very strong. In the end, we were defeated. The guy with [Infinite Mana] was the most unlucky. He was chopped into meat paste and his body was lying on the top of the pyramid..."

[Teammate Sacrifice] described the situation at that time vividly, especially the miserable condition of his good brother [Infinite Mana].

Perhaps it was the scene that brought back sad memories, [Infinite Power] could no longer bear it and added a sentence below.

"Stop bragging, this Dogecoin is even worse, the shit has been beaten out of it!"

"Get lost! I killed a few people anyway, you? It's useless!"

Seeing the two guys who only cared about their own business turning against each other and trying to sabotage each other, the post was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere, and the onlookers posted their ridicule on the public screen.

Urban Slaves: “Hahahaha!”

Emotionally stable: "You deserve it!"

I just want to be a corpse: "You two are eating alone and ended up eating shit. (Funny)"

Failed eel: "It's worth it, I think the scene can be recorded and made into a cutscene."

Failed Dirty Eel: "It's Black Chaomeng! I reported it!!! (funny)"

Chi Zao Shu was in the office: "Is there any video? Show me what the temple looks like."

The brainless man was happy again: "Wait a minute? Didn't they say that NPCs in the main city can't attack players? The authorities should come out and take care of this."

Population Survey: "+1, does it make sense not to ban him?"

Seeing the comments from this bunch of idiots, [Teammate Sacrifice to Heaven] almost got so angry that his nose became crooked.

Not only was I forced to PK by NPCs in the NPC’s main city, but I was also banned?
Look, is this what a human being says?!

The old man at the entrance of the village said: "But then again, the Kingdom of Saint Armor Dragon just fought a war with us. Strictly speaking, Assam should be the main city of the hostile NPC forces. It seems nothing wrong to be killed by the enemy."

Long Xing·I’m a foodie: “By the way, did you see anything cool in that city?”

Teammate Jitian: "I didn't see anything cool, but that city is really rich! The streets are full of gold, even the clay pots on the roadside are rimmed with gold... But guess what they use as currency? It's shells!"

Gou Shi: “6666!”

Mana without limit: "+1, I wanted to get some gold to bring back, but the priest was following me and I didn't have the chance to do anything. Now I feel a little regretful. If I had suddenly run away, I could have hidden in the city for a while."

Teammate Ji Tian: "Not only are they rich, they also have great accomplishments in art and architecture. It's no exaggeration to say that it's basically the most beautifully designed main city I've ever seen in this game! A giant stepped city with a pyramid towering into the sky in the center. The two dragon statues in front of the city gate are ridiculously large. Standing there, I felt like an ant."

Mana without Boundaries: "The guards' configuration is also very exaggerated. Most of them wear rattan armor, holding obsidian spears, standing like models, with their eyes straight ahead. Some of them wear more exaggerated armor, with obsidian armor plates inlaid on rattan armor, making them look like heavy armor like tanks."

Teammate Jitian: "And the priests, too, are everywhere! They wear black robes with gold patterns, and their waists are full of bones and bells. Wherever they go, there are jingling sounds. I wonder if they can use magic... Oh, right! I almost forgot to mention that the most central building in the entire Assam city seems to be the pyramid in the center of the city. It's called the 'Dragon Temple'. It's said to be the core place of the entire Dragon God belief, and it seems to be the key node of the stable barrier?"

Mana is infinite: "In short, this is no longer an ordinary lizard man, we must strike hard!"

Teammates prayed to the heavens: "Brothers! Avenge us!!! TT"

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "You can't only think of your brothers when you are defeated. (funny)"

Hu Wan: “+1”

Teammates sacrificed to the heavens: "??? Where is the bond between us?"

Boundless Magic Power: "Gan! You can't be so ruthless! QAQ"

The old man at the entrance of the village: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. (Laughing with sidelong eyes)"

Gou Shi: “+1 (funny)”

In just a few minutes, the popularity of the post soared rapidly, and soon became the most popular post on the forum.

While tens of thousands of players and cloud players were enjoying the fun, a certain supreme being happened to be watching this post.

Obviously, the altar of the Holy Ankylosaurus Kingdom cannot really send people to reincarnation, otherwise the two idiots who were sacrificed would not be in the mood to talk nonsense on the forum.

"Dragon Temple...big barrier? Interesting..."

In a tent of a military camp near Kurumu Port, Luo Yan was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating with an interested expression on his face.

really.

Just as he expected, the altar in Assam City was the key to maintaining the great barrier.

He now has three options.

A is to launch an attack with the entire army with a wave of the hand, B is to select a few capable men to go down, and C is to exert the necessary majesty and wait for the other side to surrender.

Compared to other demons in hell, he prefers to solve problems with methods other than force.

However, judging from the reaction of the Holy Ankylosaurus Kingdom, they do not seem to intend to surrender to him easily.

You can only choose A.

“… Lord Demon King! These are no longer ordinary lizardmen, they are clearly cultists! How dare they attack your beloved people! We must strike them hard!” As if aware of Luo Yan’s thoughts, Youyou, who was eager to watch the fun, floated aside and encouraged him excitedly.

Luo Yan glanced at the air next to him. He knew without asking that this guy had probably just learned some clichéd joke from the official website.

"Do you even need to say this?"

“Hehe, I am just trying to help your Majesty, the Demon King.” Youyou, who was floating in the sky like a balloon, playfully stuck out her abstract tongue and swayed to the mirror next to the bedside table. “But then again, does it really take so much time to prepare to deal with these guys?”

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Although supernatural powers are rare on the Janna continent, there are many lizardmen after all. It's always better to be cautious."

Luo Yan didn't continue talking nonsense with Youyou. Instead, he got up from the bed and walked out of the tent.

The efficiency of meditation here is too low. Not to mention training extraordinary powers, it is difficult to even recover a little bit of lost mana.

The reason why he was sitting there meditating just now was more to browse the official website forum and see what interesting information his hardworking little players had dug up.

And now, this goal has been achieved.

Lifting the door curtain, Luo Yan left the tent and strolled in his own military camp.

After several days of construction, the entire military camp is no longer the sloppy one it was at the beginning. Facilities in all aspects have been built and completed, and it looks more and more pleasing to the eye.

Of course, maybe he has been watching it for a long time and has gotten used to it.

Near the tent area, there were skeleton soldiers carrying tattered equipment and various zombies of various shapes and sizes.

These undead soldiers sat or stood lazily on the ground, with bones and broken limbs lying all over the place, and from time to time they uttered a few unintelligible whispers.

Some of them are summoned by the players, and some are cannon fodder summoned by Luo Yan himself, especially the latter who account for the vast majority.

Since he was promoted to the gold level, his use of necromancy has become more and more perfect. In addition, the perception of souls given to him by the godhead has given him even more power in controlling and understanding power!

If his mana recovery speed was not limited, he could even refine the 30,000 armored dragon soldiers he had killed previously and turn them into zombies to fight for him.

However, five or six thousand is enough now.

Anyway, these quick-made products with dull eyes are not the main output of the Demon King's army. They are purely used to make up the numbers and fill in the lines.

When a real fight breaks out, there will be artillery fire coverage, magic harvesting, and then players advancing.

Not far away, the acolytes in charge of managing the undead were busy feeding these guys - the iron buckets were mainly filled with mushrooms and berries picked by some players from the forest, mixed with fragments of lizardmen and Warcraft corpses to create a sticky substance that looked quite weird.

Another advantage of these undeads is that they are not picky eaters. Even poisonous berries are no threat to them, but can give their attacks a certain toxin effect, which can be said to be making the best use of them.

Luo Yan briefly inspected the work of the monks, exchanged a few words with them, then turned and left, walking slowly towards the edge of the military camp.

Currently, the camp is surrounded by a wall made of rough rocks and wooden stakes. Squeaking sounds can be heard from the edge of the forest outside the wall.

The noise was caused by his mount, Arakdo, and his disciples.

Led by the fat big spider, a group of engineering spiders were waving their limbs, claws and mouthparts vigorously, and quickly cutting down the trees.

They cleaned up the large open space with swift movements, and at the same time did not forget to deal with the chopped wood and branches. Their efficiency was amazing... Even the players who were keen on doing odd jobs could only sigh in despair, as professional work really needs to be done by professionals.

It doesn't matter if some spiders are unlucky enough to be smashed into spider paste, because these precious nutrients will soon become the supply for other crypt spiders. As the "chief construction captain" of the cemetery, Alacdo is as diligent as ever, and looks like he is going to carve out a castle for himself.

Perhaps Sarah's growing strength made him feel a sense of crisis. Fearing that he would fall out of favor, he decided to show off in front of the Demon King. He has been busy these days.

Luo Yan felt that what he was doing was a bit unnecessary.

After all, firstly, the Kingdom of the Holy Ankylosaur should not be able to attack here, and secondly, only Arakdo is the most suitable person for the position of mount at the moment... No matter what, he can't ride Sarah out.

Although they are both pets, they are in completely different ecological niches and are not comparable at all.

However, Luo Yan did not pour cold water on his enthusiasm. After all, he really needed a castle to show off.

After solving the problems of the indigenous people, the continent of Janna will soon become the "new front" in the game between Hell and the Empire.

Not only "Deadwood Port", the Colin family also needs a castle.

Satisfied with the performance of his mount, Luo Yan turned and walked towards the center of the camp, where the core of the entire military camp was located - a teleportation array designed and carved by him personally.

Unlike the shabby thing on the beach, this teleportation array far exceeds the former in both scale and the number of magic crystals invested.

I saw the granite base of the formation emitting a faint glow. A group of monks in grey robes surrounded the center of the formation with solemn expressions, silently chanting spells, carefully regulating the output of magic power, not daring to slack off for even a moment.

Next to the teleportation array, various supplies sent from the cemetery were piled up in a disorderly manner. There were tools and building materials for building the port, as well as large rockets produced by the Anxunsi Group, and some strange new equipment made by the magic workshop of professional players of Life, which were intended to be tested on the battlefield.

Currently, all supplies for the Demon King’s army are delivered through this teleportation array.

In order to take over this continent enclosed in a barrier, Luo Yan spent a huge amount of money. He spent hundreds of millions just on purchasing magic crystals, not to mention the military supplies bought with ghost money and the tasks issued to the players.

Walking slowly to the teleportation array, Luo Yan's eyes fell on the messily placed supplies. Seeing this, the monk in charge of supervising the transportation immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Reporting to His Majesty the Demon King, the delivery of military supplies has been completed. There are only 60% of the materials left for port construction. They will all be in place by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Luo Yan nodded with satisfaction and spoke.

"How many rockets are stored in the camp?"

The acolyte immediately bowed his head and responded: "Your Majesty, there are a total of 3,000 of them. All of them are stored in tents outside the camp as you ordered to ensure that they will not be accidentally detonated."

"very good."

Three thousand pieces.

That should be enough.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan waved his hand, signaling the monk to go back to work, and then called out to the distance.

"Arakdo, come here for a moment."

There was a commotion in the distance.

Hearing the call from the Demon King, the loyal Arakdo immediately ran over excitedly like a husky hearing "go out and play".

The eight swift legs waved like the wind, and they stepped on the ground fiercely, causing a wave of earthquakes. Arakdo approached Luo Yan attentively, bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Dear Demon King, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I have an important task for you."

Luo Yan didn't waste any time and directly took out a map and threw it on his back.

"Take your spider army and two thousand zombies to the forest north of Assam City, find the location marked on the map, build an outpost there, and draw a teleportation array nearby. Remember to move quickly and stay hidden, so as not to delay my important mission."

Hearing that he was going to be assigned an important task, Arakdo was overjoyed and hissed softly. Several small spiders quickly crawled out from under his armpits and deftly unfolded the map and put it in front of him.

After staring with six eyes to confirm the location on the map, Arakdo's spider body shook, and he saluted respectfully and responded in a voice as loud as a bell.

"As you command, Your Majesty... Please rest assured! This kind of simple and rough work is just right for our Shadow Weavers. I promise that in no more than three days, I can turn the forest in front of you into the back garden of the cemetery!"

Looking at the energetic Arakdo, Luo Yan couldn't help but worry that he was overdoing it, so he added another sentence.

"You don't have to treat it like my backyard. I just need a launch site... Just build it according to the previous standard."

Alacdo: "Yes, sir!!!"

The loyal Arakdo never hesitated to follow the orders of the Demon King. After receiving the order, he immediately ran into the forest outside the military camp.

Before long, a large group of crypt spiders, accompanied by an undead army composed of lizardmen and wights, marched towards the Stairway to the Sun Mountains.

Looking at the rolling dust in the distance, Luo Yan smiled faintly, paused for a moment, and then called out softly to the person beside him.

"Thanos."

As soon as he finished speaking, an elegant and strange shadow gathered silently beside him and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Thanos' voice was filled with deep fear and caution, which was in stark contrast to Arakdo, who was eager to offer his heart to His Majesty the Demon King.

Luo Yan glanced at Thanos, who was bowing his head solemnly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Of course, he knew why Thanos was so fearful - even afraid of himself. It seemed that the death of Elder Zakro Dragun had caused a great psychological shock to this suspicious guy.

"Have you ever been a messenger?"

Thanos was stunned for a moment and whispered.

"Uh, no... Your Majesty."

Luo Yan said casually.

"Then do you want to experience it? Play a different role once in a while."

Thanos wanted to say that he didn't want to at all, but he could feel that the Demon King didn't want to hear this answer, so he had to bite the bullet and say it.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty."

Looking at Thanos who was facing a formidable enemy, Luo Yan smiled faintly, his voice gentle but unquestionable.

"I need you to go to the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom on my behalf and convey our will to them—"

"Surrender, or die."

"The wording is casual. With your intelligence, you shouldn't need me to teach you."

Thanos' expression froze slightly, and his face was instantly filled with hesitation and embarrassment, as if he was constipated.

He hesitated for a while, lowered his head and whispered his advice.

"Your Majesty, since you don't plan to negotiate with them, why don't you just attack them? Those lizardmen have attacked us several times... I think it's unnecessary to waste time talking to them."

Worried that the Demon King might doubt his loyalty, he hastily added another sentence with a solemn oath.

"If you, Lord Demon, plan to send out an army, I am willing to serve as the vanguard and fight for you at all costs!"

He swore that he was definitely not a coward.

I just think it's totally unnecessary.

Besides, it is someone else's capital after all. Who knows if there are a few chosen ones holding divine weapons hiding in it?
The power of gods is much more unreasonable than supernatural powers. For example, the crazy woman in the Campbell family is only at the bronze level, but she can fight anyone on equal terms with the legendary sword.

What's more, a large number of ants can kill an elephant.

After hearing this, Luo Yan smiled but said nothing.

joke.

Of course he knew that he could just attack directly, but wasn't this just testing whether the opponent had any other hidden cards in his hand?
According to the captives, their General Kuchar was a "Saint General-level" warrior, belonging to the fourth rank, and above that was the "God General-level".

As for whether there were any miraculous artifacts hidden in the city of Assam, he also wanted to know, especially to find out whether the Dragon God really didn't care about His people.

So far, these lizardmen have been incredibly weak.

It's better to be cautious.

"I told you to go, just do it." Luo Yan glanced at Thanos casually and said calmly.

The moment Thanos was caught in the Demon King's gaze, he shuddered as if he had been electrocuted and swallowed hard.

"As you command... Your Majesty."

Compared to going deep into the midst of thousands of enemies and dealing close combat, it was obviously more frightening for him to face the unfathomable Demon King head-on.

Dare not disobey Luo Yan's orders.

Thanos retreated timidly, and his robed figure turned into a cloud of misty black smoke and dissipated silently.

At the same time Thanos retreated, Sarah came to Luo Yan silently with light steps.

Looking up at the Demon King's profile, Sarah whispered softly.

"Master Demon, you can actually leave this kind of small matter to me..."

There was a hint of loneliness under that cold face, like a neglected cat, which obviously cares a lot but doesn't want to show it.

Luo Yan could tell what she was thinking at a glance, smiled and reached out to touch the top of her head.

"Don't worry, you will have the time to take action in the future... As for small matters like this, leave it to Thanos. This is my test for him."

This is how you should use a traitor like Thanos. As for your own cat, just let it practice backflips and help you catch mice.

If it was a job that really required risk, he wouldn't trust her with it.

Sarah looked at the Demon King with a blank face. Although she couldn't understand, seeing that he said so, she nodded meekly and said nothing more.

In fact, she has been following behind the Demon King since just now, guarding him like a shadow, but she still hasn't sensed the breath of Thanos.

That guy is really strong.

It seems understandable that the Demon King entrusted him with this important task.

While Sarah felt regretful, she also secretly made up her mind to practice harder and strive to help the Demon King as soon as possible, become a capable person, and repay the Demon King's kindness.

Looking at the silent Sarah, Luo Yan felt relieved, but he couldn't help but sigh.

My subordinates are also interesting.

The platinum-level ones were hesitant, looking back and forth, afraid that blood would splash on them, while the steel and silver-level ones were shouting and killing all day long, wishing to sacrifice their lives and offer their hearts to them immediately.

If only they could neutralize it.

At this time, Octo, who was in charge of patrolling outside the camp, walked from the main gate of the wall, knelt on one knee, and reported in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, there is a group of lizardmen outside who are requesting an audience. They claim to be an envoy from the Sand Ridge Tribe and they come from the desert area in the central part of the Janna continent."

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

"Are you here to seek an alliance again?"

Octo shook his head, his tone respectful.

"They did not mention an alliance, but instead expressed their willingness to submit."

After a pause, he looked at the Demon King who showed interest, and added in a deep voice.

"In addition, they also presented you the head of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom's envoy."
