Chapter 1383: Central Turmoil
The outbreak of the Demon Tide was like opening a Pandora's box, bringing great trouble to all material planes.
Exactly how the other three organizations were arranged and arranged, Grim had no idea.
He only knew that the middle of the continent was really in trouble!
Since the front end of the demon tide arrived in the wizarding world, there have been more than 100 invasions of the other world reported in the middle of the continent every day. As for those who sneak in through covert means, they are even more unknown.
And the arrival of these invaders also brought unimaginable turmoil to the central part of the continent.
Most of them were randomly teleported to the wizarding world because they strayed into the space-time vortex, and some of them were endless voids that spanned thousands of miles away, taking advantage of the opening of the portal of the wizarding world to break into it and prepare to plunder and kill......
Although the former are numerous, their strength is incomparable, so most of them lurk in the wizarding world as stowaways, ready to flee to other planes at any time. Most of these guys have average strength, and they don't have much organizational background, so it's not difficult to deal with.
The latter is much more difficult to deal with!
After all, they came prepared, either they were familiar with the environment of the wizarding world, or they had strong strength to support them. Either way, it's not a good thing for wizards like the rulers of the plane.
There are currently as many as seven mass deaths on Grim's desk, spread across six regions. Behind each event is the fall and demise of a human settlement.
"Mysterious Death in Molten City:"
"There has been a massive mortal death in the Sketis region today, located in the eastern part of the region, just 300 miles from Molten City. A place called Mars, where 416 mortals died overnight......"
"According to the preliminary investigation, the body of the deceased is all there, including clothing, financial belongings and other belongings. All the dead were scattered throughout the town, and it seemed that they had died at the same moment, at the same moment, for some unknown reason......"
"All the deceased were smiling, their muscles were stiff, and no signs of extraordinary strength were found on the bodies after preliminary autopsy......"
"The time of death is the third day after the outbreak of the Demon Tide......"
"At present, this death is being investigated and handled by Frena, a second-order wizard in Molten City......"
……
……
"The mysterious disappearance of Clark's Treasure Well:"
"An anomaly suddenly occurred at the Clark Alchemy Academy in the Ankara region, and the Well of Treasure, which was the main trial site of the Academy, was shrouded in a mysterious white mist......"
"At present, the eleven alchemy apprentices who are trying in this treasure well have lost contact. Even an official wizard from the academy went to investigate......"
"This incident occurred on the third day of the outbreak of the Demon Tide, and the second-order wizard Mushu of the Entom family is going to investigate......"
……
……
"Entonas City Plague Event:"
"On the seventh day after the outbreak of the Demon Tide, a mysterious plague broke out in the city of Entonas in the Elasia region. The first outbreak of the plague infected nearly one-third of the city's population, with an estimated 21,000 people infected......"
"After the outbreak of the plague, it began to spread to the surrounding area at a very rapid speed, and has now infected three surrounding villages and towns, and the scale of the epidemic continues to expand......
"This area is under the conquest of three local organizations: Queyrin Hut, Deathstroke Academy, and Morin Stone Tower, and they have all sent wizards to form a joint investigation team to investigate and control this plague event......"
"From the information obtained, it can be seen that traces of forbidden witchcraft have been found in the plague toadstool. The investigation team is urgently hunting down the illegal wizards, and there are no signs of otherworldly invaders involved so far......"
……
……
Grim flipped through the briefings on the desk one by one, his brows furrowed.
In the past, he only needed to control the affairs of the Crimson family, and with the assistance of Meryl and Emelia, who were dedicated to their efforts, he didn't feel that the family affairs were so complicated and difficult.
And now, as the entire central part of the continent gradually fell into his grasp, there were 31 regions, 37.51 million square kilometers of land, and thousands of wizard families...... These became areas that he had to know and control, and the complicated affairs like mountains and seas flooded his desk like an avalanche.
You know, most of the less urgent things, Meryl and Emelia have filtered for him. What can be presented to his desk is either a fourth-order wizard or a fourth-order force, or there is a secret secret, and he, the head of the family, needs to make up his mind......
Either way, it's enough for him to have a headache for three days!
These days, ordinary family affairs have all been blocked, and these seven influential events can be sent to him, which fully shows that they are all inextricably linked to the current outbreak of the demon tide.
Behind the seemingly inconspicuous little things, it is very likely that some powerful and cunning alien creature has infiltrated the middle of the continent, where it is stirring up waves, performing some kind of terrible ritual or killing spree.
For those guys who break in and kill each other, Grim isn't really worried about it.
Such a guy just wants to have a good meal, eat nonsense for a while, and leave naturally when he is full. Grim's attitude towards them is to expel them.
After all, there are too many alien demons to kill.
Find them, banish them again, and seal the rift they have infiltrated into. This is already the best outcome that Grim can envision!
And what really gives Grim a headache is often another kind of cunning guy.
They don't go on a killing spree for the sake of a momentary pleasure, which leads to the interference of wizards. Like chameleons, they sneak into the wizarding world, then use some method to cover their tracks, and then disguise themselves to blend in with the local human aristocracy.
For some ulterior purposes, they often hide for decades, using their own special means to infect and hollow out the local human society little by little.
By the time the deeds are revealed, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will be wiped out!
The invasion of sporoles, snakeskins, and undead recorded in the wizard's codex...... Behind the terrible events that are endlessly written in history, there are traces of the intervention of some major forces outside the territory.
After all, the wizarding world is a well-known large plane, and the quality of human souls here is much higher than that of those small and medium-sized planes. Therefore, many otherworldly demons and monsters will abduct and sell the souls of creatures in several major planes as their sacred and noble cause.
They have captured the souls of creatures from the main plane to their own origin plane, which will undoubtedly increase the strength of the origin plane, so as to obtain more plane feedback. This is also a means and way for the dimensional world to grow itself!
If the middle of the continent he had passed through didn't belong to Grim, Grim wouldn't bother to worry about it anymore. But now, he has just nominally ruled the entire central part of the continent, and it would undoubtedly be a self-destructive thing to allow the alien demons to plunder souls in his own 'territory'.
Therefore, Grim asked Meryl and others to report all the mysterious events collected from all over the world after the outbreak of the demon tide, and then entered them into the chip database one by one, so that they could compare them with various aspects of intelligence to find out the most suspicious events.
Once he has a target, Grim will personally assign people to urge the local people to find out the real culprits behind the mysterious events as soon as possible, and dig out these hidden moths from their nests one by one.
However, if he can sneak into the wizarding world quietly and then hide quietly, such a guy definitely has the strength of more than 3 orders. Therefore, when it comes to the final showdown, I am afraid that none of these old guys in the central part will be idle, and they must make the best use of their own strength.
And what worries Grim the most at the moment is the great rift in the space that is located in the territory of the Alden family. From the outbreak of the demon tide to the present, nearly a hundred monsters or monsters or demons above the second order have escaped from that great spatial rift, and there are as many as 3 fourth-order monsters alone.
Of course, they were all killed on the spot by the dense Witch Towers and War Witch Towers. However, judging from the images from the scene, the number and quality of these monsters pouring into the plane have an upward trend.
Once a high-level calamity creature or powerful star beast escapes in, even if there is a top-level wizard like Mary or Monash in charge, I am afraid that there will inevitably be fish that slip through the net.
If they escape through the first level and escape to the inside of the plane, it will be very difficult to kill them again!
After all, without the support of the wizard's tower and the blessing of sorcery, human wizards would be sending sheep into the tiger's mouth if they wanted to confront otherworldly monsters with thick skin and flesh, long blood, and amazing resilience. The danger is so dangerous that even a super wizard like Grim has a headache when he thinks about it.
And the outbreak of the demon tide has also tested the strength of the major wizard families from one side!
For example, in the Elovis and Hayworth regions controlled by the Crimson Family, so far, there has not been a single incident of otherworldly demons mutilating local creatures.
In the past ten years, the Crimson Family has sent countless wizards and apprentices to almost every corner of the two regions, sealing all the weak points of the space and setting up corresponding vigilance witch arrays.
Although the Demon Tide broke out, all spatial gaps automatically opened, breaking through most of the spatial seals, but the overall situation was still under the control of the Crimson family.
As soon as there was a situation in the Vigilant Witch Array, the nearest floating giant ship rushed here without hesitation. The Witch of Destiny who accompanied the ship was responsible for finding traces of enemies, the family's battle wizards and magical warbands were responsible for clearing out the invaders, and the Academy wizards were responsible for resealing the spatial rift......
With the close cooperation of various power systems, no invader has been able to escape the pursuit of the Crimson family and escape to human society. As a result, the human kingdoms in these two regions have remained stable and tranquil, and have become the safest, most prosperous, and most lively places in the middle of the entire continent.
No way, no other region, no other country can do this.
Those human nobles have no loyalty to speak of, in order to continue the family, in order to preserve the bloodline and inheritance, even in the farthest region in the central region, the local rulers will spend a lot of money to send their direct blood descendants to the Horton Witchcraft Academy in the Crimson Territory to study.
In this way, they can not only improve their strength, but also allow them to avoid unknown risks.
Therefore, it has become a means of hedging for everyone to follow!
