"Finally out of the desert!"

When the scene in front of him was no longer a dull and monotonous yellow sand, but a decaying poplar forest, Roy knew that he had reached the edge of the Desert of Death.

Sure enough, not long after crossing this poplar forest, a touch of green began to appear on the horizon, and farther ahead, there were also towering mountain peaks, different from the desert landscape, making Roy look very relaxed.

Although they only had time to travel at night, Roy and his team were still very fast through the Death Desert, and it only took more than ten days to cross thousands of kilometers.

The number of undead troops controlled by Kassandra increased a little, because on the way, two more tombs of ancient warriors were found, and some skeleton soldiers and ghosts were collected, and the number could have been larger, but it was very unfortunate that during a night rush, some low-level undead accidentally fell into the quicksand and could no longer get out.

Now in front of Roy and them, there is a huge mountain range, the altitude is quite high, you can see some white snow marks on the top of the mountain in the distance, the vampire count Giovanni pointed to this mountain range and said to Roy: "Your Excellency Osiris, after crossing this mountain range, you can enter the territory of Eofu, the boundary of Eofu, earthquakes are frequent, there are many active volcanoes, the demons who came to the surface of the earth, detonated these volcanoes, and built a city on top of the volcanoes, Originally, there were some humans and other races living in Ioph, but when the demons ruled here, the natives either fled or turned to become demonic cultists and joined the demons, so don't be surprised if you see humans on the realm of Ioph. ”

Roy nodded, he didn't feel strange, in fact, he had already come into contact with these so-called demon cultists, it can be said that these people who worship demons are often the first way for demons to enter other worlds, if they didn't try to summon demons, demons would not have discovered their world......

"Also beware, we may encounter outposts and fortresses of other races along the way!" Giovanni continued: "Four years ago, in a sudden lunar eclipse, Sergo's demon army poured out and almost destroyed the world, so after temporarily repelling the demons, all races on the continent were very wary of the demons on the realm of Iover, and they built strong fortresses on their respective borders close to Iover, firstly, to monitor the movements of demons, to guard against sudden invasion of demons, and secondly, to be able to provide help for possible counterattacks in the future......"

"In other words, there are a lot of troops hoarded in these fortresses?" Roy asked.

"Yes!" Giovanni nodded with a serious face: "Except for those dark elves in the dungeon, as well as our necromancers in Hleth, the rest of the races have almost all established fortresses in all directions of the Iorfu border, the dark elves are because they have allied with demons, and we Helles are because demons have no interest in us undead at all!" ”

Speaking of this, Giovanni also shrugged his shoulders, and that expression ...... It's hard to describe.

In fact, the necromancers have always been untreated by all races in this world, for many races, death is sacred, but the necromancers resurrect the dead and stand up, which is a blasphemy in their eyes, the necromancers of the Kingdom of Helais actually don't want to build a fortress on the border to spy on the demons, but the problem is that other races simply don't allow them to do this, and have been suppressing and excluding them.

This is where Giovanni and Alantir's ideas are at odds, he is not an avid believer in Yasha, so he is a little puzzled, since the undead are so unpopular, why does Alantir stick to it and "curry" other races by destroying demons? Demons are not interested in the undead, so why don't the Kingdom of Kholais just sit back and watch other races fight with demons?

Juliel had been listening to Giovanni's story, and at this time she also interjected: "You mean, we may encounter fortresses of other races along the way?" ”

"It's not possible, it's certain!" Giovanni said: "Because each fortress will regularly send patrols to strictly inspect every passage to prevent the demons from escaping, these patrols are very neat, not only ground troops, but also air troops, it is impossible to get through." ”

"If you can't get through, then let's get through!" Roy said indifferently: "Do you think that I brought these undead troops to be just here to be a melon-eating crowd?" ”

Giovanni was stunned for a moment, and didn't get the stalk of Roy's words, but he still understood, so he nodded, took out a rolled-up map from his waist and opened it, looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "Judging from the map, if we go all the way in the direction we are going, the first thing we will encounter is the fortress of the Bradaka Kingdom, if our direction is a little west, then we will encounter the fortress of the elven race, which is backed by the Death Desert, and it is not easy to supply, so the two fortresses of these two races, They have always been watchful and mutually beneficial, and there is trade with each other. ”

Roy also took a look at the map and found that there was actually a distance of hundreds of kilometers between the two fortress cities on the map, that is, Roy could knock down these fortresses one by one, but since the two fortresses were watching and helping each other, Roy guessed that their cities might have set up spatial portals for each other, and once attacked, the troops of the other city could quickly arrive through the portals and then resist the attack together.

Therefore, if you really want to attack the city, then you should control the portal in the city as soon as possible.

But where the portal is, it definitely needs to be investigated, Roy turned his head to look at the people around him, but found that there was no very good candidate, Roy himself needless to say, he is a demon, once he appears, it is estimated that he will be found from afar and then ring the alarm bell, Juliel is a fallen angel again, the black flame wings behind her can be seen at a glance, there is no way to pretend to be an angel to blend in, as for Giovanni, a local native, it may be possible, but the nearest fortress is the kingdom of Bradaka, and those mages are wary of the undead, no different from being wary of demons.

After thinking about it, Roy raised his hand and flipped it, and saw many big eyes with little devil wings appear in his hands!

"Go ahead!" With a wave of Roy's hand, the demonic eyes created by him immediately flapped their wings and spread out like a swarm of bats, and gradually became invisible in the process of flying, and then headed in the direction of the fortress.

After releasing the Demon Eye as a scout, Roy waved his hand and said, "Let's go, move on!" ”

The next step is to climb all the way over the mountains, and the undead troops under Kassandra's control have this benefit, there is no morale to speak of, and they will not be tired either, and there will be no delay when marching in the mountains.

When he had climbed over the top of the mountain and was about to descend, Giovanni saw a large forest at the foot of the mountain below, and he reminded: "Lord Osiris, be careful! There may be a lot of animals and plants in the forest, which are the eyes of the elves scattered, and such a forest is often the favorite place for those elven rangers with long ears to patrol, I am sure that there are definitely elven people in this forest, because those weak mages hate trekking mountains and rivers, they prefer to let the elf rangers patrol these forests instead of them, if they are found on the way through the forest, the elf rangers will soon pass on the news, and then the fortress will be guarded, And maybe they will send an army to attack us first......"

"But we can't avoid ......" Juliel said, looking at the area of the forest below, "unless we take a detour of hundreds of kilometers!" ”

Indeed, the area of the forest is too large to be seen from afar, not only are there all kinds of insects and birds chirping in the forest, but also in the sky above the forest, you can faintly see several large flying creatures, which may be juvenile green dragons, pegasus, or flamingos and the like, these are common creatures living in the territory of the elves.

"Don't bother!" Roy grinned and said, "Out of the desert area, some means can be used!" ”

He led his troops all the way down, and only stopped when he was still a kilometer or two away from the edge of the forest.

Giovanni looked at Roy with some confusion, not knowing what he was going to do, but at this moment, Roy took out the Frost Sorrow, then stabbed the tip of his sword into the ground, holding the hilt of the sword and half-kneeling.

Seeing his posture, Juliel suddenly understood what he was going to do, so she hurriedly beckoned Fat Tiger and Kassandra to retreat a little.

Giovanni didn't quite understand what was going on, but out of vigilance, he retreated a little.

And Roy half-knelt on the ground, the surging magic poured into the frost sorrow, the runes on the sword began to gradually light up, and the skull eye at the jaw of the sword gradually emitted blue light, and a powerful cold air flow began to gradually form, with Roy's body as the center, constantly spreading outward.

Where Roy was, a large area of black frost appeared on the ground, and the covered ground was condensed into a smooth ice surface, but this ice surface did not spread out much, only within a few hundred meters of Roy's vicinity.

Giovanni, who was watching this scene from afar, was inexplicably shocked, and he raised his head to look into the air, because he could feel that the cold air emanating from Roy's body was being continuously injected into the sky!

Under the influence of the cold air, countless water molecules began to condense, gradually forming large areas of thick clouds, which covered such a huge area that almost the entire forest was encompassed.

With the help of the magic amplification effect of Frost Sorrow, Roy didn't even need to let the temperature drop too low to affect the climate within a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, and this climate anomaly was quickly noticed by the animals in the forest......

At this moment, there are three patrol troops of the elven rangers, in this forest, each of them is not a large number, but they are agile, when they sit in the forest for routine patrol, they find that the animals in the forest suddenly panicked, one by one either fled or hid, even the emotions transmitted by the plants were full of uneasiness.

"What happened?"

The patrolmen, who were carrying longbows, looked up one by one with blank expressions, and saw the black, low-hanging clouds above.

"Like...... It's going to snow? "An elven ranger is not sure about the authenticity.

"What are you kidding? Snow!? Another elven ranger next to him said incredulously: "It's still summer!" ”

"But such clouds are like clouds when it snows!" Someone replied.

However, as if to confirm their suspicions, a black, crystal clear snowflake was the first to fall from the sky, and an elven ranger subconsciously reached out and caught the snowflake, which quickly melted under the effect of the temperature on his hand, turning into a drop of black dew.

"Damn! It's really snowing! Watching the black snowflakes fall one after another, the elven rangers shuddered.

This kind of black snowflakes are strange everywhere, when the snowflakes fall, those originally green plants and grasses actually withered quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the elven rangers also realized that something was wrong, because no matter how you look at it, this is not a normal weather phenomenon!

"We're under attack, get out of here!" A ranger captain immediately said: "Go back to the fortress of Bradaka and report the situation here to them!" ”

However, it was too late at this time, and the elves couldn't even tell where the attack was coming from, let alone who the attacker was, and no matter how agile and fast they were, they couldn't escape the entire forest in a short period of time.

The black snow was falling heavier and heavier, and after only five minutes, a thin layer of snow had gathered on the top of the forest, and the rest fell to the ground through the gaps in the trees, making the forest also appear messy black spots!

The rangers running in the forest, constantly moving forward in this black snow, but the more they run, the more they have no strength, the black snowflakes on their bodies, so that their bodies gradually appear itchy and painful feelings, once they can't help but reach out and scratch, it is likely to scratch the skin bloody.

Under the effect of the Desolation Virus, the skin of the Elven Ranger began to fester, and they began to vomit incessantly, and they could no longer run.

"Enemy...... Where the hell ......" An elven ranger collapsed in despair, and before he closed his eyes and died, he shouted this sentence full of reluctance.

…………

More than twenty minutes later, Roy pulled out the frost sorrow and stood up, but all he saw was a withered forest covered in black snow and ice......
