There were a large number of demons dressed in ornate robes or other fancy costumes that were busy around the square. In the center of the square, stands a huge altar five meters high...... The altar itself is not too tall for the rest of the city, but it occupies a sizable area, and is made entirely of a black rock with a faint crystal sheen.

The rocks themselves exuded bursts of intense magical fluctuations.

The ground under the altar was also densely painted with strange magic patterns, which spread to a large area on the periphery.

For this, the demons even demolished some of the nearby house buildings.

A magic array of this size...... Jing Yuanming relied on the parts he had seen so far to calculate, and found that no matter how he calculated, this belonged to the category of a large magic array.

"What kind of ceremony is going on?" Jing Yuanming secretly said in his heart, large magic arrays and ritual magic are often inseparable, which also means trouble and disaster.

Because the demons and humans are hostile to each other, no matter what the demons do, standing in the position of humans, Jing Kite Ming doesn't want them to succeed.

His immediate reaction was how to disrupt the ritual?

But fortunately, he quickly came to his senses - he was here to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and this kind of sabotage mission was not included.

Moreover, judging by the number of demon legions in Drew, it would be difficult for Jing Kite to destroy the altar under their noses, no matter how powerful he was—he was not good at large-scale destructive attacks.

"But let's see what's up there." Jing Kiteming's body size was normal human level, so the five-meter-tall altar was still too tall for him, and he couldn't see what was on the altar when he stood below...... It's not even certain if it's an altar or not - it's just a result of Jing Iris's speculation.

As the top scout of the expeditionary force, Jing Yuanming certainly couldn't just go back with an unknown "intelligence" to restore his life, so he quietly took a long detour, returned to a house he had just passed, and prepared to climb the twenty-meter-high roof to find out.

Every commanding height in the city is occupied by high-ranking demons, and this roof is certainly no exception.

There's still an Eagle Demon Commander stationed here, maybe because of its proximity to the core? Commander Zoni seems to have put all his elite here.

Eagle Demon has excellent eyesight, and if you stand on the highest point in the city, you can see every corner of the city, and it is the best role for reconnaissance and surveillance. In addition, the Eagle Demon is born with the ability to fly, and once it detects the situation, it can quickly take off and start action.

It can be said that it is the natural nemesis of scouts.

But in front of Jing Yuanming, whether it is a thousand commanders or eagle demons, it is not a problem.

He climbed to the roof "in the open", and stopped not far from the Eagle Demon, stopping to observe as if no one was around.

And the Eagle Demon Commander, with his eyes wide open, scanned around intently, meticulously inspecting the range of sight, but never found the witcher beside him.

Jing Yuanming glanced at the demon beside her, shifted her position, and completely hid herself in the shadow of the demon's tall body.

Then he squinted his eyes and looked at the altar two hundred meters away.

It was indeed some kind of ritual magic, and in the center of the altar sat a large azure crystal—a whole large crystal rough, almost a cut higher than the altar below.

If you split it, how many magic items can be made? Jing Yuanming subconsciously calculated in his heart, and then came up with an astonishing number.

This value ...... It seems that the plans of this group of demons are not small! He was willing to sacrifice such a precious material!

There is also a circle of guards around the crystal - they are the aura that Jing Yuanming discovered before that is "different from the demon".

The guys were shrouded in gray robes and hoods on their heads, which were tightly covered. In appearance, it seems to be about the same size as an ordinary human, and there is nothing special about it. But each of them exudes a sense of danger, exuding an elite and fierce momentum. Far more powerful than the demon warriors below.

The gray-robed people formed a circle on the altar, guarding the crystal tightly in the middle.

Not even the other demons could get close. The person in charge of preparing the ritual on the altar was also another wave of gray-robed men.

Because he is not a professional spellcaster, Jing Yuanming is not very clear about what kind of magic ritual is being prepared underneath. However, as a veteran witcher, he still has the basic knowledge, and he can barely tell that the magic circle that the demons below are drawing belongs to the "summoning" type - this is still quite common magic among demons.

In fact, the Dark Star Alliance or other fallen mages also use summoning magic, which is used to summon powerful beings in the demon world to fight or trade.

It's just that this is the first time I've seen a summoning magic array of this scale. Moreover, it was an elite army of elites who presided over the summoning ritual magic, and it was almost conceivable what they were going to summon.

Beelzebub! Only the Demon King deserves such a fanfare for the ceremony.

And it's also a powerful demon king outside the Remnant Sun Realm. Because the eight demon kings such as the Remnant Sun King of this interface don't need to use such a troublesome way at all, they will only use this specification of magic array when they cross over - and it is also an "illegal crossover" to bypass the master of the interface and invite the demon king from the outside world to come!

Jing Kite knew that this kind of thing would often appear in the wars of the invasion interface.

The history of kingdoms and alliances has also encountered summoned demon kings more than once. But due to various reasons, those who descend to the human world are only projections or clones of the demon king, and their strength is at most a little stronger than that of the demon leader. While it comes at a huge cost, it's not an unsolvable problem.

And for now, this ...... Jing Kite Ming was almost certain that what these demons were going to summon was not a clone of the Demon King, but a genuine Demon King body. It also belongs to the Demon Realm, so presumably the limit of summoning will be reduced a lot, right?

"It turns out that the Eagle Demon Commander wants to betray the Remnant Sun King?" Jing Yuanming secretly said in his heart, "That's why I left my post without permission and gave up my mission to guard the Gate of Dawn." ”

And now it seems that the abandoned villages in the surrounding area should also be their doing, not to prevent the expeditionary force, but to prevent the news from being known by the King of the Remnant Sun!

Jing Yuanming frowned and pondered, so he was even more hesitant to forcibly attack Drew City...... Or even whether to expose the presence of the expeditionary force.

Because according to his speculation, the Remnant Sun Realm will soon usher in a new alien demon king, and a whole army will defect to him. In terms of combat power alone, it is no less than the seven princes and kings in the Remnant Sun Realm.

Next, the entire Remnant Sun Realm will fall into war, and for humans, it will be a civil war between demons!

No matter who wins or loses in the end, the Remnant Sun Realm is a loser, and its strength will inevitably suffer.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the human world. seize the opportunity to develop yourself; Or continue to secretly operate the Gate of Dawn, take the opportunity to make trouble when the Remnant Sun Realm is in a mess, and have a yellow finch behind, which is a good choice.

But all this is just Jing Yuanming's own speculation, and there is no actual evidence.

In addition, the expeditionary force is already ready to fly, and it has to be sent. Even if you bypass this Dru City, you will definitely be alarmed when you attack other cities around it, and even the surrounding cities have been occupied by the Eagle Demon Lord, so it is no different at all.

At that time, if the Demon Legion really summons a Demon King, it will definitely find the Death Expeditionary Force as well!

Therefore, it is in the best interests of the expeditionary force to strike first.

As for teaming up with the Eagle Demon Legion?

Sorry, the saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend is not true for humans and demons! At least not in the human mind.

It is conceivable that the bigwigs of the expeditionary force, including Jing Yuanming himself, have not considered the option of cooperating with the demon at all.

Humans and demons are incompatible, this is the belief and purpose of all demon hunters.

The relationship between a witcher and a demon is only that of hunting and being hunted.

Even the whole of human society is this concept.

Because without the support of such extremely tough and even stubborn beliefs, the human world would have fallen into the dark ages long ago.

Those who are not determined to fight the demons are all in the Dark Star Alliance.
