Traps, huge traps.
Arthur's huge army descended on the Fourth Abyss with the overwhelming force of Tarzan, but he was greeted by a formidable trap prepared by the natives of the Fourth Abyss who did not know how many years ago.
The Demon Castle, which was just the right size, not too strong and not too weak, happened to make Arthur's vanguard army give up the idea of attacking directly.
The Demon Castle is built on the edge of a large lake, and it has clean water and flat land, which is a good place to set up camp.
Therefore, Arthur's incoming legions set up camp around this great lake, and surrounded the demon castle just everywhere.
When Arthur's Chinese army headquarters arrived, the Demon Castle seized the opportunity and took the initiative to present an ultimatum to Arthur.
Either retreat or start a war.
And this ultimatum was only a little more than two hours before the reinforcements of the abyssal creatures arrived.
It's also a very subtle psychological calculation.
More than two hours, just enough time for Arthur's army to tidy up the military town, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements on the flat battlefield.
Even Arthur's army had enough time to eat a good meal, sharpen his sword, set up the town a little more neatly, and even prepare a little bit of fortifications in the wilderness such as trenches, horse rejections, and even low walls.
And the reinforcements of the abyssal creatures came from a long distance, and they had to march quickly for more than two hours to reach the battlefield.
Arthur's legion was perfectly prepared to meet the enemy head-on with an elite army that was recharged.
Therefore, Arthur would never risk sending a cavalry team to take the initiative to meet it, he would only concentrate the team in the barracks in an orderly manner.
The team is mixed according to the best model, and strives to make the strongest combat effectiveness of the legions under his command.
Just as the moment before dawn was the best time for a night attack, the time when Arthur's legion was in full formation to meet it was the time when everyone in Arthur's legion was the most careless and unimpressed.
Therefore, a large group of assassins of the abyssal creatures swarmed in, and they assassinated a large number of middle and lower-level officers of Arthur's army with great accuracy, directly cutting off the direct contact between Arthur's high-level generals and grassroots soldiers.
For a short period of time, Arthur completely lost control of the Legion.
Arthur's legion was strong because his legion numbered too many men of school-age in the five provinces, and what a terrible number But Arthur's legion was also weak.
Because his legion is too large, but he doesn't have the brains and muscles to control it perfectly.
He lacked generals with sufficient combat experience, and he lacked officers with sufficient military experience.
Arthur's legion is like a giant with incomparably strong muscles, but his brain capacity is only the size of a quail, and his muscles and bones are only the size of ordinary people, so the combat effectiveness that Arthur's legion can exert is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.
This raid by the creatures of the abyss is simply deadly.
The erupting volcano burned a large amount of grain baggage, and large herds of cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and other livestock that served as food rations were burned to ashes.
Almost all the tents of his elite regiment were burned, and the middle and lower rank officers lost at least seventy percent.
As for how many of Arthur's recruit corps had lost ...
Nobody counts the number, and no one cares about it.
Anyway, while cleaning up the battlefield after this attack, the fire that burned the corpses in Arthur's army lasted for three days and three nights.
It burned for hundreds of miles, and you could smell a pungent smell of burning.
But for now, the attacks continue.
The volcano is erupting, the poisonous insects and antbeasts are fighting desperately, the demon octopuses in the big lake are happily rolling up one soldier after another and stuffing them into their mouths, and those half-human, half-fish mages have exhausted their magic power.
Embarrassed, he rushed back into the water to rest.
The flames and cries raged all around, and Arthur's legion was paralyzed.
Of course, Arthur's legion was too numerous, and although this attack severely damaged the middle and lower ranks of his elite legion, it also killed and wounded many soldiers.
However, the size of this legion is too large, and the overall strength of the legion has not decreased much.
But the legion was paralyzed, and Arthur had temporarily lost control of the legion.
His orders could not be conveyed to the soldiers, his will could not be carried out, and Arthur could no longer command any army in disarray, except for his own guards and knights.
Lin Qi stood at the head of the wall of his own walled city, casually flicked a few vampire bats that pounced on him into meat sauce, and then gave a thumbs up with admiration: "I don't know who is commanding these abyssal creatures, all in all, it's amazing."
If I can take him in, I can give him a good enough salary. ” When he said this, Lin Qi looked at Hazy with a pure smile.
As the oldest ancestor-level figure known to all the demon clans of the Fifth Abyss, the Nightmare also has a great reputation in the Abyss World.
And the lower the level of the abyssal world, the stronger the abyss world.
An ordinary general in the Fifth Abyss can become a lord-level big man in the Fourth Abyss, let alone an existence like Nightmare There are a large number of passages between the Fourth and Fifth Abysses, and there is a strong connection between the two abyssal worlds.
Lin Qi wanted to find the person behind the command of the abyssal creatures to deal a heavy blow to Arthur, and it was most appropriate for Hazy to come forward.
These lords of the Fourth Abyss, who lent them a hundred courages, would never dare to refuse the edict of the Demon Ancestor from the Fifth Abyss.
Hazy also laughed fiercely: "I also want to see who this person is, this is not the way demons and demons should fight at all.

It's a bit like the handiwork of a necromancer, but those treacherous undead, they never leave the ninth abyss, which is the necromantic abyss, how could they come here?"
Shaking his head, Haze licked his lips: "And the tactics of the undead are not like this, they always like to use crowd tactics to drown the enemy.
The tactics they used today were shameless and ruthless, but they were a bit like the methods that human generals liked. ” The human general, Mo Linqi, shook his head.
In the fourth abyss, there will be no human generals who will die for the creatures of the abyss There was a low roar from the ground, and the flames, poisonous smoke, and lava that erupted from more than fifty volcanoes gradually dissipated, and the magic power of the Lava Purgatory Magic Circle was almost depleted, and these small volcanoes retracted to the ground like withered flowers.
The poisonous insects that were wreaking havoc in the boot camp also let out a dull storm of chirps and scurried back into the hole in the ground as fast as they could.
The terrible howls of the wounded soldiers gradually came from the new barracks, and then the miserable howls came one after another, and gradually became a terrible sound.
Covering hundreds of miles, the huge military camp that surrounded the entire Great Lakes had a withered and lonely gray atmosphere, and Arthur's legion felt like an unlucky girl who had been manipulated into three hundred and sixty positions by one hundred and eighty strong men, and there was a mess everywhere, blood and strange venom, slime and other things were sprinkled everywhere, almost half of the tents were burned to ashes by the fire, and there was a pungent smell of burnt paste in the air, and the loss was really terrible.
The more than 10,000 clergy accompanying the Punishment Temple looked at each other and were silent.
When the raid broke out, their first instinct was to protect Arthur's life, and if Arthur wounded a hair in the raid, they would have been burned at the stake.
In the face of such a large-scale and such a bizarre raid, these clergy were really powerless.
Together, they unleashed a powerful magic spell that covered a radius of ten miles, but they only protected some of Arthur's most elite heavy legions, and protected the castle where Arthur lived, and they couldn't do anything about the rest of the place.
Of course, there are some extremely powerful clergy hidden among them, such as those old templars with unpredictable strength.
But these people are there to deal with Esther, to deal with the secret that the Silver Iris family hides in the Fourth Abyss.
Before seeing the secret of the Silver Iris family, where would these people be willing to kill and wound ordinary soldiers, and what did it have to do with these servants of the gods who were high up Therefore, Arthur was whipped so hard that he was confused for a long time.
Arthur, who had just returned to the army and was invincible, was now like a broken pig urine bubble, and his whole body was soft on the ground.
His legion, his huge legion, the legion that could sweep almost everything, was beaten to the ground in the dark and spurting blood all at once "Prepare for battle," Arthur's mournful howl was heard far away Arthur finally remembered that the reinforcements of those abyssal creatures were constantly heading here, and they were still about two hours away from here, but after this period of attack, they were still an hour away from here at most.
An hour later, Arthur was faced with a surprise attack of massive enemy reinforcements It is necessary to reorganize the troops and horses, and at least to set up a decent formation on the field before the enemy arrives With Arthur's hysterical howl, the huge army was in a commotion again, and the soldiers, who did not care to save the wounded, rushed in the direction of the enemy's attack in confusion under the shouts of the chaotic punishment knights.
About five soldiers the size of a fully equipped army had just formed a chaotic long snake formation on the plain, and before they could sort out the formation, the demon castle that was just behind their queue suddenly opened the gates of the city at the same time.
With a low roar, the demon knight like a black tide drove the abyss demon lizard, which was as fast as the wind, and without saying a word, he waved his weapon and rushed out of the castle like lightning, like four black steel knives, and slammed into the rear of Arthur's military town.
Arthur and the generals around him never dreamed that the demon castle would take the initiative to send troops to raid:
