Chapter 7 Iron Fortress!

How powerful is the power of the abyss?

Until now, Murphy has no specific concept in his mind, because the most powerful demon he has encountered so far is just a high-level demon. But from his limited understanding of the abyss, he knows that the high-level demon is actually not a great creature in the abyss. Because there are also demon nobles and the legendary demon king on the high-level demons!

There is no country in the abyss.

The social system in the abyss is composed of one demon legion after another!

There is also a huge gap in strength and level among the demons! To put it simply, in a demon legion of about ten thousand people, there will be an intermediate demon of the squad leader among every ten low-level demons. That is to say, in a demon legion of ten thousand people, an intermediate demon of at least about one thousand people will be born.

This is the lowest level intermediate demon, the kind that has just advanced.

In the Demon Legion, a captain of the centurion level will be born among every hundred demons, who is also a mid-level demon, but it is much stronger than the squad leader level. They are equivalent to intermediate officers in the Legion, responsible for commanding the battles of low-level demons. The demons of this level are about one hundred people in the Legion, and there may be even fewer.

Above these centurion-level demon officers, there are also senior officers of the thousand-level commander-level. They are also mid-level demons, but they are the most powerful ones. However, unless they can obtain a trace of noble demon blood or be given power by a high-level demon, it will be difficult for them to advance to high-level demons throughout their lives.

High-level demons are the commanders of the legion. They have all control over their subordinates. They can use them as cannon fodder to die, or they can be used for enjoyment (succubus, desire demon, etc.). Among high-level demons, the class of the aristocratic ranks will be divided according to their noble bloodline and strength. The outside world does not understand their noble titles, so they are mostly summarized in the title levels inherited by the material planes.

The world level of the demon is very strict, and belongs to the directly subordinate relationship. All the demon legion commanders are loyal to the demon king.

And in a plane of a deep abyss, there can only be one demon king.

If a second person appears, it means that this abyss plane will burst into a shocking battle until a complete winner appears!

At present, the arcane mages have only thirteen levels of exploration of the abyss, which is also the achievement of the glorious period of arcane. In other words, there are at least thirteen demon kings and countless demon legions of all sizes in the abyss. They peek at the entire universe and look for those worlds that can become their targets, whether they are material planes, element planes, or semi-planes in them. As long as they can transform them into part of the abyss, they will become their targets!

In the vast and boundless multiverse, there is a plane in the attack of the abyss at every moment.

How powerful is the invasion of the abyss?

In the world where the Kingdom of Athens is located, the demons were unable to break through the space barrier, so they injected the filthy and chaotic power into the earth, causing the grain on the entire plane to begin to reduce production, and revived dead souls appeared on the earth. It turned out that more and more creatures were polluted by the abyss aura and demonized. Individuals were also demonized in many races, and they became minions invading the abyss.

The plane where Murphy is now is much more serious. Although he doesn't know much, the demons can actually use the raised volcanoes to cover the sky with the rising ash and cover the clouds on the entire continent. You can see how strong they are!

At the same time, how cunning there is!

The devil's tactics are no longer just the tactics used in war in a simple sense.

Their goals are not limited to the species living on a plane, but also include the power of laws, plane rules, gods' beliefs, etc. of the entire plane! Because their real goal is to completely crush a plane, break everything, restore it to the most essential energy, and then drag it into the abyss, use the power of the abyss to devour the entire plane, and turn this plane into a part of the abyss!

Ambition?

In the face of the demons' huge ambitions of devouring the plane, the others' **s are really too small.

Day 7.

Murphy had traveled nearly three thousand miles apart, and a ray of light appeared in the distant sky, no longer the gray tone. This undoubtedly made Murphy feel relieved. At least there should be a well-preserved part of the world, rather than all of it becoming what it looks like here, the gray sky, the wind and sand in the sky, the corrupted bones, the traces of the burning of flames, and the faint smell of sulfur.

After walking for so long, Murphy had a new concept of the size of this bone-burying land.

According to his estimate, this bone burial land is probably several times larger than the entire southern plain, because along the way, he only saw a huge volcano, but there are eleven other active volcanoes on this bone burial land! The demons cannot gather all the detonated volcanoes together, which means that the territory of this bone burial land is actually amazingly large, and it can even cover the territory of a country!

One person and one ride into the edge of the Boneburial Land.

Murphy was able to see the undulating peaks in the distance. Although it was still extremely desolate, Murphy saw some traces of the tenacious survival of the trees. The green touch sootheed the depression in his heart and made him feel a trace of vitality.

"Let's go." After the Death Knight reached here, his mood seemed to have changed a little. "There is a fortress in front of him."

She turned around and looked at Murphy and continued to move forward.

fortress?

Is it used to defend against demon attacks?

Are you finally reaching the rear of this world?

Murphy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed the Death Knight in front. In this bone-burying place where the demons were active, the pressure in his heart was too great. Although he was protected by this Death Knight, there was no trace of life all the way, and he could encounter the bad realm of a fierce demon and a hideous monster at any time. Murphy felt very tired.

Not only physical, but also mental!

The wind and sand were getting smaller, and the color of the soil gradually changed to darkness. Murphy saw some tenacious grasses, which grew in the cracks of rocks, bringing a hint of vitality to this desolate land. After entering here, Murphy found that the Death Knight walking in front became very careful, more careful than when she encountered a demon before. And what made her very careful was the tenacious grasses on the ground. The Death Knight turned over and jumped off the horse, held the reins of the undead horse with his hands, restrained its movements, and carefully avoided the little bit of fragile vitality.

Why is she?

Murphy was full of doubts, but he didn't know how to speak.

Keep moving forward.

There were more and more grass on the ground, from a few of them to sparse. The Death Knight became more careful as he moved forward, trying his best to avoid the little fragile green on the ground. However, as the grass on the ground became more and more grass, there was no way to avoid it. In the end, the undead horse she was holding still stepped on a grass.

The emerald green grass withered rapidly, and its leaves became dark yellow. In just a moment, it completely lost its vitality!

"The power of death!?" Murphy was stunned.

The Death Knight, who was walking in front, stopped her foot. She stared at the withered grass at the undead horse's feet, gently picked it up, as if she had remembered something, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. She looked ahead, staring at the touch of green vitality in obsessively, then turned her head and came to Murphy's side, slowly said: "Climb the mountain in front and you will reach the steel fortress."

"You're safe."

After saying that, she took off a ring from her hand, a gem ring with blood-stained shattered blood, and handed it to Murphy. Her voice was hoarse, as if she had a hint of emotional fluctuation, and said quietly: "Please give it to a man named Silver Hand, and he will reward you."

Her dark blue eyes were clear and she looked into the south.

Murphy reached out to take the broken ring, with a serious expression and nodded gently. No matter what the reason, the other party escorted him all the way here, and he should not refuse her request. Without her protection, it would be difficult for Murphy to get out of the bone burial land with his own strength. Maybe he would never be able to get out, because the bone burial land was too big.

The Death Knight smiled, and although Murphy couldn't see it, he felt it.

She slowly stretched out her dry fingers and gently stroked Murphy's face. Her fingers with a decayed breath touched Murphy's cheeks. A bit of cold air suddenly spread throughout Murphy's body! It was not the coldness of the material world, but the coldness from the soul, the chill brought by death!

Murphy shivered.

The Death Knight seemed to remember something, and she quickly withdrew her fingers, with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"Living well!" The hoarse voice of the Death Knight contained some deep emotions. Then she turned over and stepped onto the undead horse and rode away towards the bone-burying land covered with yellow sand, white bones, blood, war, demons and sulfur.

Riding away.

The wind and sand are blowing by, and it is clear and cold.

……………………

"Living well!..."

Murphy watched the death knight's departure and murmured in a low voice.

This is the second Death Knight who said this to him. This sentence seems to contain some deep emotions. Whenever it is spoken from their mouths, it always makes Murphy feel sad and depressed.

Murphy knew why she didn't move on with her, because the power of death on her body was too strong.

Those fragile lives and those vegetation and vitality cannot bear the power of death on her body. As long as they are little by little, these plants will wither quickly and completely lose their vitality.

This was originally the purpose of the abyss demons creating them and using them to completely erase the vitality of the world.

Murphy also began to understand why these death knights wandered in that desolate land of bone burial, because they had no other place to go. The powerful power of death on their bodies would even be afraid, let alone other creatures! The earth could not bear their power, and plants would wither on the road they passed by. They did not want to continue to destroy the world, so they could only stay in that land of bone burial!

Use the blood of the demon to cleanse their hatred and sins!

My heart is a little heavy.

Although he is just a passerby in this world, Murphy still feels very heavy.

Some indescribable emotions made him feel depressed, but they were also shocked and moved! At least from these Death Knights, Murphy saw a lot of things, a lot of shining brightly like stars!

move on.

When Murphy climbed over the mountain in front, an extremely steep natural fortress appeared in front of him.

——Iron and Steel Fortress!

The fortress is surrounded by cliffs hundreds of meters high, and in the middle is a magnificent city wall made of steel, hundreds of meters long and more than fifty meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a twelve-story building!

There are raised barbs on the front of the fortress, with blood stains on it. I don’t know how many battles the entire fortress has experienced. The walls made of steel are covered with dark red after the drying of blood! On the walls of the fortress, a huge cannon is placed every twenty meters, with a caliber of more than fifty centimeters. There are waves of terrible elemental fluctuations coming from it, which is obviously different from the cannons on Earth in Murphy’s memory!

On one side of the cliff, a low dragon roar came. When Murphy approached the fortress for several kilometers, he saw a huge green dragon hovering up!

A full armored knight sat on the dragon. When he flew over Murphy's head, he stayed for a moment, and then drove the sitting green dragon to fly towards the east!

The griffin's hiss echoed.

Before Murphy could come back to his senses from the legendary Dragon Knight's shock, several griffins on the other side of the high cliff soared into the sky and quickly approached his position.

These griffins are huge in size and are even more majestic than those sent by barbarian humans!

They are covered with armor made of extremely high forging techniques, protecting their own key points. At the same time, the knights they carry are also wearing heavy armor, which looks like a piece of iron lump that is invulnerable to swords and guns. At first glance, they are full of suppressive and imposing momentum!

"Human?" The griffin fell before Murphy's eyes, and a powerful voice came into his ears.

Dwarf?

Murphy raised his head in surprise, and then he realized that all these griffon knights were dwarfs. No wonder the griffons were able to carry them all. Murphy had a high level of attainment for the Elf Language, but he only knew a few words about the Dwarf Language. As an arcane wizard, he had not encountered the problem of language barriers when he came to this world, so he tried to answer in the High Elf Language: "Yes."

"Huh? A human who understands the high elf language? Are you a noble?" The dwarf knight's tone slowed down a lot, obviously reducing some hostility.

noble?

It should be considered right?

Murphy's expression was a little weird, but he nodded anyway.

"How did you come here?" The strong dwarf knight stared at Murphy curiously. The human in front of him was not very strong, at most it was the level of a high-level swordsman. It was still a long distance from the level of a great swordsman. He absolutely did not believe that such a person could come out of the bone buried land alive. "It has been a long time since living people came over there."
