Chapter 55: The magic is empty
In the past two weeks, Serren's troops have not advanced very quickly, and in this case, there has been no news of reinforcements from Scar's side.
That evil god, it is estimated that it is more than auspicious! Roy thought so......
He can think of it, and Serren can naturally think of it, so Serren is very angry now, he thought that even if Reska's side was unwilling to give too many reinforcements, it would be good to send dozens of demons or hundreds of demons, but what he didn't expect was that Ryska really did so well!
In a fit of rage, Serren ordered some water to be found, and at the expense of his magic, he used a water mirror spell to try to contact Ryska.
In this world, there is also this kind of magic used for communication, but because the elements of this world are more active, long-distance communication magic is more seriously interfered with, which will cause distortion, confusion and other problems, so often only when things are more important, will the means of communication magic be used, otherwise under normal circumstances, it will still choose the safe communication method of letters.
The magic of the water mirror technique, a bit like a video call, when Roy was watching from the side, Serren really contacted Resca, in the water, Resca's appearance looked blurry and distorted, as soon as it was connected, Serren yelled at Ryska in the picture: "Damn, Riska, you don't give reinforcements, forget it, why do you want to kill the person I sent out to deliver the letter!?" ”
"What...... What the? It took a long time for Ryska on the other side to respond, but it was estimated that he didn't hear Serren's words clearly, and he looked stunned.
Serren had to repeat it again, and Ryska replied with a blank expression, "You sent someone to deliver a letter to me?" I didn't receive it! ”
The voice on the other side was also a little distorted, but Serren still heard it clearly, and couldn't help but roar loudly: "Still pretending to be garlic!?" Do you think you can fool me by blaming the elves? ”
"No, Selren, listen to me!" Ryska hurriedly explained over there: "I'm not even heading towards the east of Erathia now, but heading north, I received news from Ignadis halfway, Lord Lucifer originally sent Zeda to help us attack Erathia, but I didn't expect that just after arriving on the continent of Erathia, Zeda defected and wanted to set up his own door, Ignadis's spies found his traces in the north, so let me go to arrest him, I didn't go to the east, how could I receive a letter from you?" ”
"! Zeda mutiny? How could it be so coincidental? The communication was not good, Serren listened intermittently, but he still heard the key words "Zeda" and "mutiny", but he said in disbelief: "Even if Zeda mutinied, why didn't Ignadis have any news to me?" ”
"How do I know?" Ryska was questioned continuously, and he also looked a little impatient, and said: "Hunt down Zeda, I'm enough for one person, what did he tell you to do?" He said that he would take over my work and attack the elves with you, and now he should go hand in hand with you, right, if you don't go to him for help, what are you looking for me!? ”
Selren listened to Resca's words, because of preconceived notions, he was a little skeptical of Resca's words, only Roy listened to it, but he chuckled in his heart.
In the past two weeks, Serren's troops have encountered a total of three large-scale battles, all of which were fought with the troops led by the elven druids, due to the slow pace of advancement, and there were battles, so it stands to reason that even if there are no reinforcements on Ryska's side, Ignadis's reinforcement should always arrive, right? But the problem is that now there is no shadow of reinforcements at all in the rear!
Even if what Ryska said was true, he went to hunt down Zeda's demon, and Ignadis took his place and advanced with Seren, but it doesn't make sense that Ignatis wouldn't send reinforcements over, you know, it was said at the beginning, Ignadis summoned high-level demons to come out, and he would send them to Serren to replenish his troops, but now the evil god who sent the letter is gone, and even the reinforcements that should be there are also gone!
What does this mean, it means that they are very likely to really intercept and kill the elves!
Ignadis, on his side, may really send high-level demons over as reinforcements, but only if Serren is almost on the same front as him!
Because he wanted to grab the head, Selren was bewitched by Roy, and he had actually already exceeded the position he should have been, compared to Ignadis, his troops were now in a higher position, and Ignadis didn't know about this situation, if he sent troops to Selren's side according to the estimated position, it was very likely that after those troops arrived, they couldn't find where Selren was!
The troops that pounced on the air, if they encountered the troops surrounded by the elves, then ...... The fact that there are no reinforcements makes sense......
This situation was a bit out of Roy's expectations, although all this was done by him, but the elves' actions were earlier than he expected, Roy originally thought that Selren would fall into the elven ambush circle when he was about to arrive at the main city of the elves, but now that he looks at it, this ambush circle is almost about to take shape!
The elven troops encountered in the past two weeks looked more like confirming the location of Serren's demonic forces and trying to drain the combat power of Serren's troops...... And not just encounters......
Although the situation was a bit unexpected by Roy, Roy did not panic, the souls he had accumulated were almost enough, and after three battles, Roy now held more than six hundred souls, and he could prepare.
And Serren also had a confused expression after communicating with Resca, although he didn't believe Resca's words very much, but what if what he said was true?
Zeda's guy, of course Serren knows, it's another high-ranking demon who works for Lucifer Cregan, Serren They firmly believe that Lucifer Cregan, the king, is one of the incarnations of the great demon King Lucifer, so they are willing to serve him, and even very loyal, but Zeda's guy doesn't want to believe this, he is ambitious, and he has always shown signs of rebellion, and Serren of course they have seen some, so Ryska said that Zeda rebelled and wanted to stand on his own, It's a possibility......
Now, at the critical moment of attacking the elven clan, Zeda came to such a play, which really caught Serren off guard, especially Serren, who now wants to capture Zeda back to the abyss world, soak his soul in holy water, and soak him for six hundred and sixty-six days and nights!
Although he wanted to contact Ignadis, Serren was a little embarrassed, and if Ignadis learned that he had deviated from his position in order to grab the credit, he might not be able to taunt him.
So after thinking about it, Serren didn't spend any more mana, he planned to save his mana and summon demon reinforcements in place.
Yes, Serren vaguely felt that something was not good, although he couldn't say what was wrong, but the demon's innate sense of danger prompted him to find a way to increase his hole cards.
Fortunately, during this period of time, the troops plundered a lot of materials when passing through the elven mines, so there is no shortage of materials for carving the summoning array, and after carving the pattern and watering it with mercury, a simple summoning array was formed.
In fact, the ritual of summoning demons does not need to be too complicated, and the human beings have no need for lizard tails, soaked internal organs, etc., and the most important thing to open the door to the abyss is the magic of the summoner.
Roy has been staring closely at the side, this magic array that opens the door to the abyss, the depiction of the pattern Roy has long been completely remembered in his heart, what he wants to observe is the direction of Serren's magic output.
And Serren had completely forgotten Roy's existence at the moment, and he was so anxious that he didn't expect Roy to keep an eye on him at such a time, so when he stood next to the magic array and put the demon scythe on the magic array to input magic power, Roy easily observed the activation trajectory of the magic array.
The light of the magic array, first from the edge of the periphery of the demon text symbols began to light up, then from the outside to the inside, and finally to the center of the magic array at the position of the pentagram, this process is quite short, if you don't pay attention to it, you will think that the magic array is lit up together, but Roy noticed this situation because he paid special attention.
Serren once said that if you want to teleport in reverse, you have to output the magic power in reverse, so if you want to go back and light up the magic array, you should first light up the pentagram in the array, right?
Roy guessed like this, planning to wait until he escaped, try to activate it first, and then throw a random demon in to try it......
This time, Selren did not hesitate to spend magic power, nor did he hesitate to consume souls, and began to summon high-level demons, and in the case of him giving enough sacrifices, soon many high-level demons were teleported through the dark abyss gate, Roy took a look and found that the most in it was a succubus!
These succubi are a rare humanoid female demon in the demon clan, they have a hot body, not to mention the front and back curl, and there is no wisp on the body, but because they are all demons no matter how they say, they still have curved demon horns on their heads, and their feet are also demon hooves with anti-joints, especially a pair of demon wings behind them, which actually grow upside down, this kind of demon reverse wings, it looks very sensitive.
Succubi are high-ranking demons who are good at using fire magic and charm magic, and Serren summoned them out to make up for the lack of long-range troops in the army, after all, relying on those Gog demons alone may be more tight.
In addition to the succubus, Serren summoned the Abyss Demon and the Great Demon, the Abyss Demon is a kind of rickety walking, when they appeared, they all held a huge broken sword burning with flames in their hands, this kind of sword that is half missing, called the Soul Reaver Blade, is the main weapon of the Abyss Demon, as for those big demons, it is similar to Serren, the classic demon image, a huge demon horn rising into the sky, holding a demon scythe or demon hammer, strong and huge, As soon as these high-ranking demons appeared, a strong smell of sulfur came to their faces.
"I need your help!" After Serren summoned it, he looked a little prostration, no matter how huge his magic power was, summoning these guys was almost exhausted, but he was also a high-ranking demon, and Serren was at least the top one, so he still said with confidence: "Come on, sign a contract with me to stay in this world, there will be a war next, I believe you will like it!" ”
"War? Sure enough! A succubus giggled and said, "Well, as long as the conditions are not too harsh, we can do your bidding!" ”
A group of high-level demons quickly signed a contract with Seron to stay, and when Roy was summoned, it was completely different, but Roy didn't care about it now, he quietly retreated to the troops, found a place where no one sat down, summoned the system interface, and prepared to start sketching his design......
