Chapter 2779

Burning Land, central area.

Magma flowed through the cracks on the ground. The scenes that came into view were all dark red fire colors. The scorching air was mixed with the smell of sulfur. This was the most intense feeling the Burning Land gave people.

Su Xiao looked around. Although he didn't see the fire orcs, he could sense that there were breaths in the surrounding magma. These breaths were not emitted by living beings.

Fire orcs were not intelligent creatures; they only acted according to orders or instincts. And the Traitor, Okam, was an extremely special individual among the fire orcs.

Su Xiao held the Soul Crystal in his hand. He released a burst of Green Steel Shadow energy, forming a pale blue thread shape, and then pierced it into the Soul Crystal.

*Dong~*

It was as if an invisible air wave spread out. On the magma lake surface more than ten meters away, a large hand stained with magma protruded from the magma lake and slapped on the rocks on the shore.

A fire orc crawled out from the magma. It had a pair of eyes burning with flames inside, its body was bright red, and the dull impurities clinging to its body surface were like the oxides that appeared after iron forging.

The fire orc was over three meters tall, humanoid overall, and in the center of its chest was a circular pattern made of magma.

After this fire orc appeared, its hand raised, and a burst of magma surged from the magma lake on the side, forming a giant sword made of magma. This magma giant sword was extremely thick, nearly 20 centimeters wide and 1.6 meters long. Although it had no blade edge, this thing carried high temperature and was very heavy.

At this time, the fire orc was indeed like a beast, with no reason to speak of. Their shells could act because there were gray orc soldier souls inside.

The final intent of these souls allowed the fire orcs to avoid fighting like beasts. Using weapons was the final dignity of the gray orc souls.

The reason why the fire orcs were like this was for another reason, which was that Agamemnon no longer trusted his former subordinates. He wanted to build an army that listened entirely to his command and would never betray him.

As for Agamemnon handing over the control of the fire orc army, this was because the other party was being sealed and had no other way, so he chose the inferior strategy.

Even so, Agamemnon left a hand. He was the first-echelon controller of the fire orc army. The fire brand he gave to Su Xiao was located in the second echelon.

Not only that, the fire brand itself had problems. Once this thing was branded on the body, after Agamemnon broke free, this would be a hidden danger, possibly fatal, or possibly controlled by Agamemnon.

So Su Xiao abandoned a Soul Crystal, injected a trace of vitality + blood energy + his own energy into it to mislead Agamemnon. Agamemnon didn't take back the fire brand directly just now, which showed the misleading was successful.

Agamemnon's plan wasn't actually complicated: first let Su Xiao use the fire orcs to defeat Duoyin, then capture the Duoyin King alive and bring him to the Burning Land to help Agamemnon lift the seal.

After the seal was lifted, Agamemnon would immediately take back the control of the fire orc army and immediately turn against Su Xiao, letting the fire orc army besiege him, or kill Su Xiao himself.

This wasn't Su Xiao's speculation. The contradiction between Agamemnon and the War Demon had reached an irreconcilable degree, but before both sides completely turned against each other, they were all sealed, so there was the scene before his eyes, just pretending to be polite to each other. In the evil camp, this belonged to conventional operations.

The Soul Crystal in Su Xiao's hand floated up. He held it in a virtual grip with one hand and completely activated the fire brand on it.

With a *hu*, a huge fire crown gathered above, and the surrounding ground began to vibrate.

*Boom, boom, boom... *

The rock layers on the ground shattered, and magma splashed, leaving a scorching temperature in the air in a drawn-out shape.

One fire orc after another crawled out from the magma. They didn't need to eat. As long as they were in the magma, they could continue to exist by absorbing fire-type energy.

Before long, within a few kilometers around Su Xiao, it was full of fire orcs. They held all kinds of heavy weapons made of magma, and on their chests were magma rings, inside which were stored the souls of gray orcs.

Fire orcs couldn't exist forever. After the fire orc souls in their bodies collapsed, they would turn back into magma + molten stone, and the fire energy in their bodies would also dissipate.

The surrounding fire orcs gathered more and more. Before long, the number exceeded one million, and they were still gathering continuously.

Su Xiao leaped onto the dragon's back. After Barbados flew dozens of meters high, the field of vision became open.

After gathering for about an hour, the number of fire orcs exceeded 5 million. In fact, there were quite a few fire orcs hidden deep in the magma, all elite individuals.

Relying on the fire brand Su Xiao currently had, he couldn't wake up these elite fire orcs, let alone order them to fight.

This was the backup Agamemnon left behind. Thinking about it, given his relationship with the previous War Demon, not leaving a backup was looking for death.

Su Xiao prepared to let all these 5 million-plus fire orcs perish on the battlefield. These war weapons without self-consciousness were different from the Wolf Cavalry Legion.

Su Xiao led the Wolf Cavalry Legion to fight here. There would be no problems with the loyalty of the Wolf Cavalry.

The fire orc legion was another concept. The highest control of these war weapons was in Agamemnon's hands.

No matter how many victorious battles Su Xiao led the fire orc legion to fight, the betrayal of this legion only needed one thought from Agamemnon.

Therefore, Su Xiao prepared to rely on this fire orc legion of 5 million scale to launch a decisive battle with Duoyin.

"Roar."

The Demon Flame Dragon, Barbados, roared at low altitude. The fire orc legion below began to march toward the east side of the Burning Land. As for the Wolf Cavalry Legion, they had already set off first, so as not to let any enemy escape.

Looking down from above, the fire orc legion below could be described as chaotic. They ran in big strides. If a fire orc accidentally fell, it would even be trampled half to death.

Su Xiao completely activated the War Lord title. The marching speed of the fire orc army below increased significantly. The surrounding magma surged quickly, merging into their bodies, making their height reach over 3.5 meters from about 3 meters, their trunks more robust, and their arms a circle thicker. On the heads of some fire orcs, two horns made of lava even appeared.

These soldier-type units that couldn't be considered living beings were temporarily promoted from fire orcs to fire demons after receiving the War Lord's bonus.

Skill 1, Fire Life (Passive, lv. 50+10): Health increased by 3200 points, fire-type damage reduction 50%, ice-type damage taken increased by 32%.

Skill 2, Scorching Pain (Passive, lv. 42+10): When attacking, it carries 107 points of fire damage (final damage intensity will be determined according to the enemy's defense resistance).

Under the blessing of the War Lord, even if temporarily promoted, the Fire Demon's combat power was still a cut above the Wolf Cavalry, but compared to ordinary soldiers, the Fire Demon was still very strong.

The body size was large enough, giant weapons, health comparable to elite individuals, plus fire damage + true damage when attacking.

The Fire Demon army ran at full speed all the way and finally arrived at the east side of the Burning Land. Su Xiao used the fire brand as a medium to order 150,000 Fire Demons to continue marching, while the remaining 4.91 million stood by, so as not to scare the enemy away.

Continuing to go deep into the east side, an hour later, this Fire Demon troop of 150,000 scale was detected by the enemy.

Under Su Xiao's mental command, 150,000 Fire Demons rushed toward a low mountain.

*Boom! *

A silver-white light beam fell from above, submerging two Fire Demons and finally shattering them to pieces.

"Enemy attack!"

Shouts came one after another. Familiars of various appearances were surrounding the low mountain. Looking at the scale, there were probably more than 10,000 Moon-type familiars.

Some Moon-type familiars were tall bull-headed monsters, some were in human form with moon patterns on their brows, floating half a meter from the ground, and some were simply elemental creatures.

At this time, inside the low mountain, the Moon Apostle was looking at the projection in front of her. This projection was a map, and large areas of fire-red light spots appeared on the map. Each light spot represented a fire-type enemy.

There were quite a few light spots on the projection. The Moon Apostle turned on the scanning function and soon obtained the specific number: 150,192 enemies were attacking.

After a preliminary weighing, the Moon Apostle decided to meet the battle. Just over a hundred thousand fire orcs, no matter how many weaklings there were, they were still weaklings.

"Apostle Lord, it's bad, we are about to be surrounded."

A girl-like familiar ran over. Her ears were very pointed, and she had a long tail.

"Don't panic, everything is under control."

The Moon Apostle spoke with a smile. Her slender fingers tapped lightly in the air, and a summoning array appeared behind her.
