Chapter 296: Sacrificial Ritual
After spreading the Demon Eye, Roy spent the next few days in the barracks.
He didn't go out, but his army was making trouble in the city of E-Haikar!
Those demons who were summoned by him from the abyss world, but they witnessed the strength shown by Roy, and following a leader like Roy, naturally made them arrogant and unstoppable, they wandered in groups in the city, recklessly snatching the soul rations of other demons, and those demons who were bullied by them knew who this new group of demons was backing, so they either swallowed their anger or resisted, and then were beaten badly.
If the demons just take the initiative to bully, then Giovanni and their vampires and Kassandra's undead, it is a proper self-propelled mocker, the demons already hate undead creatures, so as soon as Giovanni and they appear on the streets of the city, there will immediately be countless disgusted eyes staring at them in the dark, although there is a lesson that Roy had killed them before, but demons are originally irritable and irritable, especially those lower demons, they may forget the previous lesson on impulse, Then they shot at Giovanni.
And Giovanni also remembered Roy's advice, he didn't take the initiative, but if other demons attacked them, they could fight back.
As a result, in just a few days, hundreds of brawls were born in Ehaikal City, the two sides injured each other, hundreds of low-level undead were killed on the side of the undead army, and similarly, the demons on the side of Serren also died many low-level demons.
Originally, as the base camp of the demons, the city was naturally very chaotic, but before Roy came, this chaotic situation was not too bad, and Serren and their group of demon heroes have always ignored it, but now after Roy came, many buildings in the city were burned down every day, some houses collapsed, and the sound of fireballs exploding could be heard in the city at any time, all because of the mutual beating of the two sides.
The demon heroes reported this situation to Serren, and Serren was also very troubled, he had actually expected such a situation for a long time, but when it happened, he was still a little bit wrong.
In the center of High-Cal City, in a huge black demon hall, Serren sat on a large chair in the center, suppressing his anger as he listened to the demon heroes report the situation.
His fierce gaze had been glancing at Grauer in the corner, and Grauer seemed to realize now that he had done something bad with good intentions and attracted a troublesome demon, so he didn't dare to say anything now.
"Serren-sama, there's no way to go on like this!" A demonic hero named Aleister said to Serren, "Osiris and his troops must be sent out as soon as possible." ”
"But where?" Another demon hero, Nebiros, hesitated and said, "In order to successfully carry out the plan of the Lord of Cabellus, now all the demons in the territory of Iorfo are shrinking, and there is no war at all!" ”
"If there is no war, we will create war!" Aleister said: "Just send Osiris and his troops out, as for whether to fight elves or orcs, let him see for himself." ”
Next to him was another demonic hero, Nemos, interjected: "Osiris's strength is very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the troops he leads is definitely not weak, with his character, I'm afraid he won't stop after taking down one or two cities, and it is very likely that he will go straight in, what if his behavior makes the tribes mistakenly think that we are going to start a new round of invasion, and then gather to deal with us?" ”
The demon heroes were silent, and after a long time, Nebilos asked Serren, "Lord Serren, how long will the sacrifice ceremony take?" ”
"Eighteen days!" Serren sighed and said, "This is already the shortest time that can be guaranteed!" ”
"In eighteen days, even if Osiris provokes the hornet's nest, the tribes may not be able to hit our hinterland in such a short time, right?" Nebilos said: "I think it works! ”
However, Serren said with a depressed face: "Eighteen days is just the first stage of the sacrificial ceremony, in fact, there is a second stage in the plan of the Grand Monarch of Cabelus, this second stage...... At least twenty years! ”
"What!?" When the demon heroes present heard this, they were all stunned, and then exclaimed, "Lord Selren, what do you mean!?" Are we going to have to shrink for another twenty years!? ”
Selren nodded with difficulty and said, "Very likely!" ”
"How can this work?" Aleister was stunned and said: "Before, you said that the sacrificial ceremony would take a month, so forget it, just stay up and it will pass, but in twenty years, we can hold on, but the demons under our hands will rebel!" No blood and no killing, no soul to prey, no demon to stay in one place for twenty years! ”
"Yes, Serren-sama! Are you thinking about it again? The demon heroes chimed in.
"Shut up, shut up for me!" Serren said angrily, "Do you think I want to stay here for twenty years!? But that's what the Lord of Cabellus planned, you don't know the exact plan, but I do! I can tell you with certainty that as long as the plan of the Maharaja of Cabellus succeeds, the prison that was used to imprison us by the Seventh Dragonsa Aylon a thousand years ago: Helgo will cease to exist! All the powerful demons in Sergo will return to the world and cleanse the world once and for all! Twenty years of waiting for this great goal is worth it! ”
The demon heroes were confused, to be honest, they actually didn't know much about Cabellus's plan before, and the specific implementation process was only carried out by the two main responsible persons, Serren and Baiara, who were just following Serren's orders and captive a large number of living beings for sacrificial rituals, from Serren's mysterious and mysterious style, they also understood that this might really be a big plan, and vaguely guessed that it might be related to Shergo, but they guessed at first, It was the Lord Cabellus who might have wanted to get out of trouble, but they didn't expect that after hearing and confirming the news from Seren's mouth, they found out that it was not only Cabellus who wanted to come out, but also those other powerful demon lords!
Sergo is a cage, and the people imprisoned in it are all powerful demons who followed the chaos dragon Ogas to fight, among these demons, there are a lot of demon lords, but in the war, some demon lords were killed, and the rest were all sealed in Sergo, for thousands of years, the demons inside have been looking for a way to get out of prison, but only when the moon eclipse, Sergo's seal will weaken a lot.
However, even if it is weakened, the demons that can escape are limited, because the sealing enchantment has a screening function, the more powerful the demons, the greater the influence, the more unable to escape, and the demons can only infiltrate outward little by little in this thousand years, first escaping some lower-level demons, and then a small number of higher-level demons escaped, and these higher-level demons began to summon companions from the abyss world, and gradually let the demon camp become active again on the earth.
But there is a problem here, the helpers that the superior demons can summon from the abyss world are basically equal to them, and it is impossible for them to summon powerful demon lords.
This is also the reason why in the previous demon wars, the demons lacked a unified leader and often fought separately.
However, now it is different, it seems that with the increase in the number of lunar eclipses, the sealing enchantment is further weakened, just in the last lunar eclipse, the demon lord Cabellus with the help of the ability of the doppelganger, finally broke away from Shelgo for the first time, although this doppelganger only has half of his strength, but it has indeed reached the standard of being able to escape.
Even if he only has half of the strength, the demon lord is always the demon lord, and he is still stronger than all the upper demons, so far, there is finally a real leader-level figure in the demon camp, and it is his appearance that unites the power of the demon camp.
It's just that maybe Cabellus himself understands that he can break away, and he may not really be able to defeat the coalition forces of other races, so after coming out, he didn't rush to make any big moves, but secretly began to plot, wanting to release the entire demon of Xelgo.
This may also be the agreement that Cabellus reached with other demon lords in Sergo, so when the demon heroes heard Seren's words, they also realized that Serren really couldn't go against Cabellus's will, because Cabellus now represents the will of all demon lords in Sergo!
"Well, in that case, we'll just do what we want!" Nebiros said, "But Lord Serren, please settle the matter of Osiris as soon as possible, if you can't fight a foreign war, then it should be no problem to clear out the enemies in the territory of Iofer, right?" Hasn't a clan of dark elves infiltrated lately? Why don't you send Osiris to clear these dark elves, the underground world is complicated, and even if he can succeed in his visit, it will take a lot of time. ”
Serren nodded, that was the way to go.
But he still felt that the demon of Osiris was still an unstable factor, probably because of the name of Roy's demon, Serren had always been wary of Roy, so after the demon heroes dispersed, Serren thought about it, came to the back of the demon hall, and stood on top of a pentagram teleportation array.
Purple light shone brightly, and Serren's figure disappeared in place, but what he didn't know was that an invisible demonic eye had been following him, and when he was teleported away, the demonic eye disappeared at the same time.
Roy, who was far away in the military camp in the city, had been relying on the Demon Eye to spy on the discussions between Serren and the rest of the demon heroes, and the suggestions they put forward were not unexpected by Roy.
The crusade against the dark elves unsurprisingly fell on Roy's head......
And now, when the Demon Eye was teleported along with Serren, Roy suddenly came to his senses, and the image transmitted by the Demon Eye appeared in front of his eyes at this moment, and when he saw Serren in a huge secret room, Roy suddenly understood that he had found the place where Serren performed the sacrifice ceremony......
