"The Duke has an order. In order to preserve our strength and deal a greater blow to the enemy, our army will retreat 30 miles from now on and head to Maple Leaf Town to garrison."
The day after the Duke was invited by the King to meet at the palace to discuss the war situation, a messenger took Duke Angelo's token and began to issue orders.
Duke Angelo's deputy, General Adili, was a little hesitant. This was quite different from the stick plan that the Duke had discussed with him before. Now it was just the Kingdom's messenger who came with the Duke's token to deliver the order, breaking the front they had spent so much effort in setting up. , somewhat seems a bit hasty.
For Legend, the straight-line distance is only more than two hundred miles, and it only takes half a day to come back. If there are really big changes, Duke Angelo should come back in person to give Adili instructions.
However, although Adili felt something was wrong in his heart, the Duke was a legend after all, and the place he went to was Mingxi City, where several legends were stationed. If something really happened, there would be no movement at all.
In the end, Adili obeyed the messenger's instructions. After receiving the Duke's token, he began to evacuate the team in an orderly manner.
At the same time, the defenders in several other directions also received the same order. This made Adili feel that the plan was feasible. If the judgment is correct and the decisive battle with the demon army is about to begin, then shrinking the defensive line is indeed the most effective way to deal with it at the moment.
In the past, the reason why the troops were dispersed and the defense line had to be pushed forward was just to occupy more land so that they could grow enough food. Otherwise, their remnant army would not be able to persist for several years.
The movements of the demon army made people a little surprised, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel a little wary. Facing the large-scale retreat of the human army, the other party did not react at all. They just watched the movements on the human position with a cold eye, completely missing the frequent attacks they had been making before.
The more mysterious the other party's reaction is, the more vigilant the frontline guards like Adili become, and the instructions from the palace messengers become more convincing when the devil reacts like this. Perhaps the kingdom had its own channels to detect the demon's actions, so it made this decision.
There were white clouds in the sky, and even though the sun appeared, it did not bring much temperature to the vast land. Instead, the temperature dropped a lot because of the melting of the ice in the wilderness.
Suddenly, the sky seemed to darken a bit, and people with keen senses looked up one after another. Although the sun was still dazzling, someone finally discovered that a corner of the round sun had been bitten off by something, and it was expanding a little bit.
"finally come!!"
In the nameless valley, next to Viscount Gul'dan, six demons full of blood and ferocity stood according to their strength and size. Among them was the tiefling mage who was originally stationed in the valley.
"Unblock the ice!! Prepare for the summoning ceremony!!"
The reason why the demons did not move when the human army retreated was simply because their commander had been summoned to this valley by Gul'dan earlier, and worked with him to complete the last and most important step of the plan assigned by their great lord.
Under the hands of the tiefling wizard and a group of magic-casting demons under him, the solid ice slowly turned into filthy water, flowing out along the valley's stream, setting off waves of foul-smelling waves. Corpses that had not yet completely thawed were flowing everywhere with ice debris and water. They were stopped by groups of demons who had been waiting for a long time, and were thrown into the slowly rotating obsidian array that began to emit black smoke. middle.
"Wow!!!"
The black light pillar rising into the sky, even hundreds of miles away, can feel the violent magic fluctuations. It is as if someone has used a weapon to cut a crack in the sky, a hellscape of molten lava and volcanic eruption. The cracks in the void were exposed to the world.
And in this purgatory world full of magma and flames, on the continuous black land, hideous and terrifying demon figures are arranged in an orderly square array, roaring to the sky, and waving their weapons crazily. , minions.
With one extra finger, wearing a set of bright silver mail, and a long cloak hanging behind him, the demon lord Graz'zt, Lord of Darkness, was looking up at the sky. Just like the sky in Feynman's world, the dark sky above the 45th layer of the abyss finally ushered in a ray of light, which was the light of the material world that had never appeared in the abyss for tens of thousands of years.
"My children, the time has come for blood and carnage!!!"
There is greed in Graz'zt's eyes. For countless thousands of years, he has been planning to pull Feynman's world into the abyss and become another layer of domination in his hands. It's a pity that Feynman's world is protected by countless powerful gods and protected by solid dimensional barriers. Every time it hits the believers developed in Feynman's world, the chaos created is eventually destroyed by these gods. He was discovered and suppressed, making all his plans go to waste.
However, who could have imagined that one day, the local creatures and believers of gods in Feynman's world would actually find themselves and take the initiative to create opportunities for themselves, providing materials and flesh and blood for plane passage.
Such a good opportunity is naturally a dream for Lord Wu An. He can roughly guess what the other party's plan is, but he doesn't care. He hopes to seize this opportunity and pull the long-coveted Feynman world into the endless abyss, making it a new layer of the abyss.
With the addition of a new plane, the Will of the Abyss will naturally reward Graz'zt for those who have made meritorious deeds. After gaining support and improving his strength, he has the ability to challenge Demogorgon and seize his title and status as Demon Lord! !
Of course, the guys in the material world who led the wolf into the house must also be aware of the evil thoughts of Graz'zt, the demon lord. While cooperating with the other party, they must also have a way to deal with Graz'zt. It's just that these guys are still needed now, so they will be allowed to wreak havoc in the old land of the Kingdom of Spring. Otherwise, the human army accumulated by the Lion Heart Kingdom will be enough to annihilate and suppress this demonic rebellion.
Each of them had their own plans and their own confidences. The pillars of light summoned by the phalanx of more than 10,000 people along the flesh and blood altar disappeared in front of them. Graz'zt turned around and calmly ordered the figures behind him: " This time you go there first, I will wait for your good news here, collect enough flesh and soul, and summon me to the Feynman world."
"Of course, if you delay my affairs or make this plan fail, then you don't have to come back again!!"
There were not many emotional changes in the light words, but several demon commanders who knew Grazt's character well expressed their determination with their heads lowered: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will not let His Highness down!!"
The purgatory drow leader Yasas, the giant bull demon Avaz, and the purgatory human warlock Sasha are all demigods and Graz'zt's most trusted subordinates. After solemnly expressing their determination to their master, they embarked on the journey without hesitation. Altar of flesh and blood.
Due to the influence of the solar eclipse, this time millions of human flesh and blood were used as sacrifices and materials to summon the past 700,000 elite demonic troops from the 45th floor of the abyss. In terms of strength, I am afraid they are not as strong as those sent to Feynman World in the previous five years. The entire demon army can also be equal, or even stronger, because there are as many as 30 legendary and above strong men who set foot on the altar of flesh and blood this time.
Although the movement in the nameless valley can only affect a hundred miles in terms of celestial phenomena, when the huge light pillar of the Flesh Altar shot straight into the sky, causing waves of magic ripples, the Lionheart King who was thousands of miles away Many powerful men in the Lion Heart City, the king's capital, and the Pope in the earthly palace of the God of War were also aware of it, not to mention the closer King of Spring's capital, Mingxi City.
"Hahaha, here it comes, finally here!!!"
It had only been two days since the last night-time banquet held in honor of several legends and domestic frontline generals, but the appearance of the Mingxi City Palace had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
The main marble building in the palace is covered with layers of white bones. Before, people could occasionally be seen in the city, but now it is considered a real ghost town, and there are no traces of human beings anymore. Only in the east of the city, there is still a little dim and magnificent light, which is faintly visible in this solar eclipse.
The palace seemed to have naturally occurring bones, stacked up layer by layer, and a door of bones was built in the center of the palace's vast garden. White bones and skulls were inlaid into the door, and there were complex patterns on the door.
A crazy figure stood in front of the Gate of Bones, showing off his body. At his feet, eight figures kneeling on the bones glared angrily. They turned out to be the eight legendary strong men who attended the banquet two days ago.
"William, you old dog, I curse your soul to be embedded in the wall of the unbelieving and tortured forever."
"William, why!! Why!!"
The other kingdom commanders, as well as the few servants and guards in the palace, have all become the materials for the current Gate of Bones. Only these eight precious legendary strongmen have been left until now, until the solar eclipse begins.
No one thought that King William, who had been wise and kind all these years, would dig his own grave at the last moment. After a night banquet, he not only captured several generals in his army, but also used the despicable method of adding datura flower juice in the wine, and combined with the manpower brought by Wales, captured eight legends in one fell swoop.
Legends are not so easy to be captured alive. They are vigilant and have various means to save their lives. Even if they are being plotted, as long as they are given a chance, the situation will be different. It's a pity that King William and Wales have made full preparations for this capture alive. The magic circles in the kingdom are easy to use, the odorless and imperceptible datura flower juice, and Wales have used them. The psychic control spell finally accomplished this almost impossible thing.
"Everyone, the destruction of our Kingdom of Spring has become inevitable. Can you feel the waves of grinding? Then, the devil has opened the altar of flesh and blood, and is taking advantage of the opportunity of the solar eclipse to weaken the dimensional barriers to summon more devils. The army invades my angry world."
"I am not reconciled. It is clear that all this is not the fault of the millions of people in our Kingdom of Spring. It is just a conspiracy set up by those with evil intentions in an attempt to disturb the current balance of Feynman's world."
"If they dare to do something they are forced to do by colluding with the devil, then I don't have any scruples. I must pay tribute to the millions of innocent people in our country who have lost their lives, and I must hate the annihilation of our country for thousands of years. Give those guys a good bite.”
"However, with only the remaining strength of one person and one country, even if all of them are sacrificed, it is still not enough, so I can only ask a few people to help!!"
"..."
Perhaps it was the residual good influence in his heart. Although King William's eyes were filled with madness at this moment, he still did not forget to chat with the legends who were kneeling in front of the Gate of Bones.
"Pfft~~~"
"Your Majesty the King, time is very precious, we can't waste it like this, can we?"
Welsh's face was still delicate, and most of it was still as graceful and elegant, but the cane in his hand suddenly transformed into a murderous aura that could kill people. A sharp thorn grew out of the end of the cane. As he gently moved it forward, a legendary mage appeared. Such a sudden and simple loss of life.
"Your Majesty, I, I can still help you kill the enemy... spare me... ah..."
In an understatement, Wales's cane hit the chests of eight legends on the ground, easily taking away the lives of these strongest men in the Feynman world, leaving only a few pairs of eyes full of hatred and vicious eyes. Staring at Wales and King William.
Legend's own body and blood contained huge energy. As the sharp thorns pierced the chest, the blood flowed out and penetrated into the numerous bones at his feet. The entire Gate of Bones suddenly seemed to have life, and the bones slowly squirmed. , swallowed the 8 corpses on the ground, and then saw 8 crystal heads emitting a faint light appearing on the door court that should be more than ten meters away.
"Creak!!!"
The door made of bones slowly opened, and a deep and evil aura came out of the door. Just now, a crack opened, and countless pairs of big hands stretched out from the crack, pushing and pulling, trying to squeeze out the door. Door leaf.
"I did what I should do, and the rest is up to you. I will keep an eye on you!!"
King William looked at this horrifying scene without any fear. He just stared at the graceful blond man in front of him with his crazy eyes.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. We devils pay the most attention to credibility and contracts. Since we have signed a contract with you, we will naturally not let you down."
The terrifying building in front of you, made of numerous bones, is the gate to hell that is similar to the flesh altar used by demons. Wales, who looks like a human in front of him, is actually a member of the devil clan who also comes from the endless abyss.
How could it be possible that the devil, the old enemy, would not be involved in something, especially in this material world, which is rich and colorful and full of all kinds of desires, their existence is indispensable.
