CHAPTER 236: THE END OF THE BATTLE (TO THE DESERT OF DEATH)
Roy, Julia, and Fat Tiger are gone. After the Sky Storm Altar crashed into the Ulambus and destroyed it, there was nothing in this city that could stop Roy.
However, Roy did not take those seven Dragon Balls as he left. For Roy, the real function of Dragon Ball is to guide him back to this world. Now that he had managed to come here, they were useless.
In addition, Roy was convinced that after this battle, the fact that Dragon Ball actually summoned a demon would quickly spread throughout the world. At that time, the true and good Ashan faction would probably destroy the Dragon Balls at all costs.
Of course, this did not rule out some ambitious people who wanted to borrow demonic powers, and they would do everything possible to dig up the Dragon Balls, so he doesn't care about the rest.
Among the bookshelves Julia had brought from the library, Roy managed to find a military map of the Bracada kingdom. After careful examination, Roy finally determined his location. The previous worry made sense. Ulambus is the city center in Bracada. From the map, there are two major cities along the road to the Bracada border. They were a fortress city that had amassed a massive military force for defense. The reason why Ulambus had a relatively small number of troops and population was because the city continued to send troops to the fortress cities.
After knowing this, Roy rejoiced. He would not be able to escape so easily if there were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Academy troops in this city…
Now that the Ulambus was destroyed, this situation would really infuriate the Bracada kingdom. Moreover, his demonic identity would definitely attract his attention, and it would definitely send an army to besiege and suppress him. Therefore, it would be unwise to stay in this city and wait for death.
After studying the map and some documents carefully, Roy discovers that it would be a little troublesome if he wanted to go east to the newly established demon kingdom, Eeofol. Because if he's straight, he's got to cross the vast desert. This desert is called the Desert of Death on the map, and it is an important barrier between Bracada and Eeofol. It is precisely because of the existence of this desert that the demon army cannot attack Bracada.
This Death Desert was vast, and it was said to be over a million square kilometers in area. Even if Roy and the others were to fly, it would be very difficult to cross this desert.
However, there was an advantage of taking the Death Desert route. He would be able to avoid the army and the city of Bracada completely. Roy predicted that if the Bracada kingdom wanted to surround him, it would definitely send a message to the fortress cities in front of him first so that they could prepare to fight him, a demon. Now, Roy only has Julia and Fat Tiger by his side. He would not be able to break through the heavily guarded city with such a large army.
Therefore, they did not think too much about it and continued on their way.
As Roy, Julia, and Fat Tiger fly and depart, the fleeing Galib emerges from the teleportation platform in Silver City, the capital of Bracada.
As soon as he came out, this expert hero, who had been promoted from the jinn, immediately floated towards the place of the Nine Circles. His panicked appearance made the magicians and the disciples who saw him stare at him with their mouths agape in shock.
At this moment, in the hall of the Circle of Nine, the secret witches who governed the entire Bracada were having a meeting. There were iron golems patrolling outside the hall, and at the entrance of the hall stood two tall giants as guards. When Galib stumbles and wants to get inside, the giants stop him.
“Enyah!” Galib said angrily to the titans. I have some important news to report!
After hearing this, the giants looked at each other but still let him in. After passing by, Galib walked into the meeting room.
Bang. The sound of him knocking on the door caused the witches in the hall to leave in shock. Without waiting for them to ask, Galib shouted, “Setan! A powerful demon has appeared in the Ulambus! Nathir died in battle! We need to send troops immediately! “
Galib's words caused a commotion throughout the hall, and the slow witch immediately became tense.
“What is going on? Galib, slow! ” said the witch elder who presided over the meeting. “Why did the devil suddenly appear?”
Although Galib was at the Sky Storm Altar instead of at the square at that time, he had already known about it during his escape. It was understandable that the demons were sealed inside the Dragon Balls, but then a fallen angel and an enormous hellhound appeared. This doesn't seem right. That black portal did not look like a spatial channel when the seal was opened, but was more like the Abyss Gate used by demons to summon and move troops.
“What?!” The witches were shocked. “Are you sure it's the Abyss Gate?!”
“The most liked!” Galib.
“Sial!” A white-bearded old mage could not help but slam his fist into the table in front of him and curse. “How can you experiment with reckless ?!”
It wasn't that the Bracada witches made a big fuss. There was actually a reason why they were so afraid of the appearance of demons.
In the history of the Ashan world, in the 40th Year of the Seventh Dragon, the Seventh Dragon, Sar-Elam, sacrificed himself to seal the demon in the underground world, Sheogh. From then on, the devil can only travel to the surface during the days of the lunar eclipse, and the key of the seal is Sar-Elam's own head — heavenly artifact, the Shadow Skull. These heavenly artifacts possessed unparalleled strength and always firmly suppressed the demons to the underground mystic realm, preventing them from leaving.
To prevent the demons from escaping Sheogh through the use of lunar eclipses, the soothsayers of the Blind Brothers of Ashan always bear the responsibility of being Emissaries, and they calculate and estimate the time each lunar eclipse appears. As soon as the lunar eclipse was about to arrive, they would warn the various Ashan races to guard against the invasion of the demon army.
However, in the Seventh Year of the Dragon 969, which was the first time Roy was summoned to this world, the sixth lunar eclipse in the history of the Seventh Dragon era had occurred, but it was a lunar eclipse that forecasters had yet to predict!
The appearance of the lunar eclipse had caught the various Ashan races off guard. Sheogh's demons swarmed, attacking and destroying cities across the continent, especially the Erathian kingdom. It was jointly attacked by demons that united with the dark elves of the Dungeon faction, almost causing the entire country to fall.
Although four years had passed, and the demon invasion was temporarily repelled, the demons were not expelled back to Sheogh. Instead, they occupied a piece of land on the surface of the world and established the Eeofol kingdom.
After that, the witches from Bracada studied the demon invasion. During their investigation, they discovered that the reason why the Messengers of the Blind Brothers did not predict a sixth lunar eclipse was because the lunar eclipse was merely artificial. Demon King Kha-Beleth, who led the great demon army of Sheogh, seemed to be planning an enormous scheme!
After the demon invasion had temporarily subsided, the lives of the various races on the continent were not easy. For example, Erathia was currently in a divided state. The domestic forces are now divided into the Queen faction and the Nephew faction. And the rules of the kingdom are still undetermined .. The witches know that most likely the next demonic attack will arrive. So they try to figure out what Kha-Beleth and her subordinates want to do, causing them to feel tense involuntarily when they hear the word ‘setan’.
Now that the demons from Eeofol have not been eliminated, the group of foolish witches in Ulambus are still experimenting boldly at this critical moment and have attracted powerful demons. If this matter were to spread, Bracada would probably be fiercely condemned by various races across the continent, such as the last time when it caused an orc incident …
A commotion broke out in the meeting hall, forcing the elder in charge to drop the hammer onto the table. Only then did the sound finally subside. “Shut! Be quiet!! The problem is already happening, and finding who is responsible is no longer helpful. What we need to discuss now is how to make up for it! ” An elder stood up and said loudly, “I suggest that we immediately send an army to save Ulambus!”
“Aided! We have to kill that demon before he gets an army! “
“Iya! We can't let this news spread! “
The witches quickly made their decision. But before they could discuss how many troops would be sent, a Jin walked into the hall and brought news that shocked the witches.
The ulambus has been destroyed ?!
After hearing this news, the witches present could not help but feel dizzy and look black.
It's over! A city has been destroyed. There was absolutely no way to hide such a big news!
Quiet . The scene was silent. After a long time, an elder finally sighed. “Report this news to the kingdom of Erathia and the forest fairies of AvLee. At the same time, send orders to all the fortress cities in the border to make them stand guard against the demons. Once found, the demon had to be exterminated at all costs! If we allow this powerful demon to go to Eeofol and gain troops, I fear the demonic power will extend to unimaginable levels.
“But will the demon cross the Desert of Death to Eeofol?” someone suddenly asked. “If he passes through the Desert of Death, we will be powerless. ”
“Do not worry. Some time ago, we got word that traces of Necromancer Arantir were found in the Desert of Death. Although the undead kingdom of Heresh was never on good terms with us, Arantir was indeed a true scholar. He is a loyal follower of Asha, and when dealing with the devil, he is the same as us. If that demon really chose to go to the Death Desert, Arantir would definitely take action.. ”.
