Chapter 137: If There Is a Shape-Shifting Demon Lord Among the Hidden Demon Race..
The commander of South Sotua’s confidence was not without reason.
According to his information, there was only one Troll Legion stationed on the entire Dragonspine Mountain, which could not possibly stop the large force he was leading.
Besides, this is the home ground of the dwarfs!
The dwarfs who have lived here for thousands of years know this land better than those of the demon race.
Even without considering these factors, just looking at the most important decisive factor, the high-level combat power… this team, plus myself, has a total of four legends!
Two Dwarf Kings and a great chief of an Orc tribe—one of the Dwarf Kings even carries a pseudo-Divine Artifact at the Legend Middle Level!
With the elves and the guys from Seychelles joining us, our epic battle power exceeds double digits!
This is truly an impressive number; a Demon Legion usually has at most one legend, along with three or four epic lieutenants or captains.
But now standing in front of me is only a Troll Legion…
If a fight really breaks out, I’m afraid it can be summed up in just two words.
"Take it!"
So, when the South Sotua commander’s words were heard, the two Dwarf Kings and the Orc chief also began to laugh.
"That’s true! If the demon race really ambushed several legions, it would be quite troublesome!"
"Indeed! But… it would only slow us down for a little while!"
"You two Dwarf lords are joking! The demon race doesn’t have that kind of cleverness and wisdom! Hahaha!"
The four legendary-level hearty laughs intertwined and spread to the entire army.
Many officers and soldiers also joined in, laughing softly.
To them, this battle felt like simply collecting achievements with a sack!
However, this joyful atmosphere did not last long and was suddenly interrupted.
"Enemy attack—"
The scout at the front shouted, and suddenly the surroundings became very noisy.
"Boom—!"
A loud sound and a wave of magic exploded as a giant crustacean monster suddenly emerged from the ground on the mountain path ahead!
Shadows of Lemures appeared behind the huge rocks on both sides of the mountain path.
"It’s the Abyssal Ground Crab… Is there an ambush?!"
Several commanders began to feel suspicious.
Although they had joked about this earlier, they didn’t expect there would actually be an ambush!
But surprises aside, this team was carefully selected and battle-hardened, quickly entering a battle formation!
"Focus on the enemy! Watch your feet—don’t break the formation!"
"Keep moving forward!"
Soon, the soldier officers on the outer edge were entangled with the monsters, while the spellcasters and rangers with long-range combat abilities began to fight back against the hiding Lemurewarlock and archers.
In an instant, the narrow, steep mountain path became a chaotic scene.
However, the commander of South Sotua quickly calmed down.
"Is it just the Lemure and the monsters…? It seems we have simply been discovered early, not that there was a true ambush."
Though he was a warrior by profession, his sensing ability was not weak.
After activating his scouting skills, which he had also trained in, to enhance his night vision and sense of hostility, he did not feel any exceptionally strong presence, which slightly eased his mind.
He drew his battle axe from his back and laughed again.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"What is the general laughing at again?"
The Dwarf King, still very alert, asked again.
"I laugh at those demon races for being not only foolish but also reckless—if they had a large army to support them, an ambush might work, but sending these monsters and Lemures now is just spreading their forces thin and weakening their strength… Unless they have legendary creatures hiding in the shadows, waiting for the chaos of battle to strike, then they could indeed catch us off guard."
Hearing this, the Dwarf King looked around and realized that what the commander said made sense.
"Indeed, so far, there has been no high-level combat power appearing… They can’t possibly have a legendary Lemure among those Lemures!"
"We don’t need to be cautious anymore, let’s quickly crush these pesky bugs and move forward—we can’t waste any time!"
"They can’t possibly have a Shadow Fiend or an Abyssal Sovereign of the ghost clan hiding here on purpose!"
The four legendaries nodded and unleashed their power, rushing towards the battlefield to join the fight.
Just as they joined the battle, suddenly the entire battlefield was covered in shadows.
"The Fourth Legion, Phantom Legion, sends you greetings…"
In the darkness, three powerful legendary presences appeared.
"The Phantom Legion in the center… The Demon Lord Shadudote! Impossible, I just saw you at the front line!"
A Dwarf King shouted.
"Fool," a cold and sneaky voice echoed, filled with mockery and scorn, "You know I am the Demon Lord… that was just my illusion!"
The faces of the Holy Alliance members instantly turned very grim.
No one expected that the demon race would actually have legendary warriors in ambush.
"Lord Lolth truly has great insight; even the number of legends is correct… It’s three of us against four of you; it’s unfair to say we are bullying you!"
Two more legendary presences also revealed themselves, one being another Emperor of Shadow Fiends from the Fourth Legion and the other being the two-headed Troll Legion leader, Majimaji, stationed at Dragonspine Mountain!
Although our numbers are still superior, the four legends of the Holy Alliance are not very hopeful.
Not to mention that the two-headed troll from the Ninth Legion may be a bit foolish, but because he has two heads as a mutated troll, his strength and spirit are doubled, and he has also learned two different warlock skills, so in this special close-range battle, his fighting power is on par with those of higher races, able to match a Middle Level at the beginner stage.
The twin Devil Overlords from the Phantom Legion are also old partners, and together they can handle a two against three situation!
Moreover, now we are in the shadow realm of the Emperor of Shadow Fiends… what was once our home ground in Dragonspine Mountain has now become a visiting ground!
The Emperor of Shadow Fiends within the shadow realm is at least fifty percent stronger than when he is outside of it.
The most important thing is… the members of the Holy Alliance cannot hold on!
They must quickly occupy the old front line and restart the Anti-demon Great Wall; otherwise, when the Demon Legion from Vera Plain catches on, it will all be over.
"It seems the plan has leaked… but this group of demon race only sent out about the same level of power. Given the situation…"
"We can only fight!"
Thinking of this, several legends from the Holy Alliance quickly adjusted their mindset and raised their weapons.
"Come on, demon race!"
On the narrow mountain path of Dragonspine Mountain, a large chaotic battle involving seven legends erupted instantly!
