The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 259: WAR 1 (THE CHAOS OF FORTRESS DENDARA)

At night, the Dendera Fortress was bright and heavily guarded.

Ever since Gelu confirmed that the three patrol teams were missing, everyone realized that the demon they were waiting to intercept had arrived. Given that night was the best time for a demon-like creature to make a move, the entire fortress had implemented a rotating shift. Half the fortress army entered a defensive state and was ready to patrol the entire night. The other half were resting, but they had yet to take off their equipment. Once a battle had taken place, they could wake up and join in at any time.

　

　

Under the spotlight of the magic floodlights, the entire entrance of the canyon was under full surveillance. Rock gargoyles swirled over the canyon, monitoring any movement.

It is a fortress in the midst of war mobilization. The powerful forces of the alliance made everyone believe that once the demons appeared, they would defeat this demon back to his hometown, Sheogh…

Unfortunately, Arantir had mentioned that the demon had a group of undead troops under it, so based on the previous guesses, all the surveillance of the fortress was aimed at visual targets. But no one thought of releasing a spell like Detect Invisibility.

　

　

In fact, even if they thought about it, they might not be able to detect such a small Demonic Eye …

Due to overnight vigilance, the people in the fortress had to move. And because they have to move, energy consumption will occur.

As it was almost midnight, the stomachs of the witches placed in the magician tower on the city walls began to growl. This kind of night watchman life just tortures witches. But since the leader of the Witch Guild, Astral, was inside the fortress, the witches did not dare to disobey orders. But this does not prevent them from showing their bossy disposition.

　

　

Therefore, they called the mage apprentice who served them to immediately get dinner. Although the magician apprentice obediently agreed, they turned around and handed this task over to the gremlin!

In the kingdom of Bracada, witches were the largest aristocratic class. Although the apprentice mages were still not considered true mages, their status was much higher than these gremlin. In fact, in Bracada, the gremlin was not only an army, but they were also a kind of slave. Not only are they responsible for being workers in factories and workshops, but they can also turn into chefs, waiters, cleaners, laborers, etc. at any time…

Regarding this sort of thing where the master wanted to have dinner in the middle of the night, the gremlin had met him more than once or twice, so they did not panic after receiving the task. They shouted in a sharp voice and immediately acted.

If master wanted to have dinner, they would definitely have to provide some for the elf allies, of which there were at least ten thousand. It's a very tough task. Many gremlin began to occupy themselves in the kitchen. They took out the flour and started making bread and pancakes.

Because they want to knead flour, they need water. Therefore, nearly a hundred gremlin split up and went to fetch water from various water sources.

　

　

A gremlin with a bucket in hand ran towards the well to the west of the city. Damn because other wells that are adjacent have a path, so it can only flow further to take water.

However, just as it was about to reach the well, it suddenly sounded a soft sound, as if a jar had broken apart.

When he reached the well, he found some sparkling shards beside him. These sparkling things looked like crystals. Out of curiosity, he took a piece and looked at it. But the light at night is not very good, and can not see clearly. He only found out roughly that it was really a crystal, so he looked around stealthily and immediately put this crystal fragment into his pocket.

After all, in this world, crystals were relatively valuable, and the gremlin from Bracada also needed money …

　

　

The other crystal shattered so badly that the gremlin could not stand it anymore. He was curious about what broke beside the well, so he examined it.

He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt something emitting fluorescence flowing into the well water. The fluorescence flickered, but quickly disappeared.

The Gremlin thought it was strange, but he did not think too much about it because the fish raised in the well made a splash and swam back.

Cultivation of fish in wells is generally to check whether the water source has been contaminated. After discovering there was nothing wrong with the fish in the well, the gremlin no longer cared. He quickly took a bucket of water from the well and brought it back on tilt. Maybe whipped if it's too late…

The water carried by the gremlin is poured into a large water tank next to the kitchen. The water this gremlin carried was no exception. After pouring the water, the gremlin gasped for breath before continuing to take the water.

　

　

The invisible Devil's eyes floated in the night sky looking at everything, and this sight also entered Roy's eyes.

Seeing the plan went smoothly, Roy was relieved. Next was to wait for the virus in his demon blood to come out …

Just when the gremlin sent hot bread and pancakes to various parts of the castle, the gremlin felt its stomach a little uncomfortable. More than half an hour ago, he drank water in a water tank from thirst. Because the water was so cold at the time, it was thought to cause stomach upset, so it occurred to avoid the look of the supervisor and find a place to deal with it.

But before he could find the toilet, he realized that his entire body was starting to heat up. The entire burning sensation made his consciousness gradually blur. He had already forgotten where he was going, and his legs were just moving involuntarily.

Not long after, a magical apprentice supervisor discovered this strange gremlin. When he saw that it was not working, the magician apprentice was furious. He walked forward with a whip and whipped her speechlessly.

But in contrast to being whipped in the past, the gremlin screams did not come this time. Although the gremlin's face had a bloody whip mark, he only shook his body and did not fall. Instead, it turned around and walked unsteadily towards the magician apprentice.

The magician felt that he had been insulted. A useless whip in carrying out his surveillance work is an insult. So he walked forward cursing and raising his whip, intending to continue whipping.

But when he stood in front of this gremlin, the gremlin suddenly raised its head. Her white eyes no longer had pupils. Saliva dripped from his mouth, and his face showed a ferocious expression he had never seen before. He suddenly lunged towards the apprentice mage, opened his mouth, and bit the neck of the apprentice mage!

The magician shouted in panic. The pain coming from his neck and the blood pouring out scared him. As he shouted, he desperately tried to push the gremlin away. He thought that this gremlin might have gone mad.

Unfortunately, he failed to do so. The strength of the gremlin was much greater than him. These gremlin, who usually did heavy and hard work, had incredible strength that did not match their short bodies at all. They could even throw metal chain balls that were several kilograms hundreds of meters away. How could a weak magician apprentice resist this?

　

　

Thus, the mage apprentice immediately fell silent. And this gremlin had just laid on the corpse of a witch apprentice and started eating a big mouthful …

This kind of scene doesn't just happen in this corner. As time passed, similar scenes appeared everywhere inside the fortress. In some places, the gremlin bit the mage apprentice, and in others, the gremlin bit each other.

As the people inside the fort heard more and more screams, they realized that something was amiss, so the warning bells of the entire fort rang immediately.

The heroes who were still chatting in the town hall and learning how the demons were going to attack the fortress immediately rushed out when they heard the alarm. Astral, Solmyr, Gelu, and the heroes of Bracada were all present. Only Arantir remained in the undead camp due to his identity as a necromancer.

“What happened? Did the devil attack ?! ” As soon as Astral came out of the city hall, he immediately called someone to ask the situation.

A mage hurriedly ran over and reported frantically, “Your Majesty, this. They look... like... ”“ What is it like? ” Astral became very angry when he heard him stammer. He stomped his feet and shouted, “Quick say! ‘

The witch silently glanced at Gelu and gritted her teeth. “The gremlin seems to make a riot !!”

Hearing this answer, Astral was stunned. This answer clearly exceeded his psychological expectations. He did not expect that the alarm bell sounded not because of the demon attack but because something had happened to the gremlin under his command.

“What's going on?” Astral frowned. “Explain clearly!”

Since the first to come into contact with water was the gremlin, when the virus in Roy's demon blood broke, it was the gremlin that was exposed, and then spread to the magician apprentice who worked as a supervisor. Therefore, the first impression that the people of Bracada had was that the gremlin was rioting, so it was difficult for him to talk about it when he answered earlier.

As expected, when Gelu heard about this situation, even though he was an ally, he was a little annoyed and inevitably mocked, “Your Bracada Kingdom always seems to have such problems .

　

　

The Witches of Bracada have long been notorious for exploiting slaves in the Ashan world. This situation really caused people to be speechless as it happened at such a critical moment.

Astral was also embarrassed. After hearing about the gremlin riots, he roughly understood what was going on, so he gritted his teeth and said, “Sial. It's been a long time since I've reminded you to treat those lower races better, but you don't want to listen! ”

The witch blinked. Despite being harmed, he did not dare to argue. Your Highness Astral, what should we do now?

“What should we do? Is there a need to ask ?! ” Astral said angrily. “Simmediately send troops to suppress those who rioted!”
