Chapter 523: The Catastrophe Comes
Usually when they were in the Frozen Throne, very few of Zhou Kang's subordinates were qualified to enter the Frozen Throne, and only heroes like Kel'thugad could. However, these heroes are also unable to communicate with Zhou Kang about things on Earth, because they were originally made through the Dark Altar, and although they have advanced intelligence, they have no memories of Earth.
After such a long time, Zhou Kang felt that he had almost forgotten how to say the familiar Mandarin. This time he met Yu Fei, as if he wanted to make up for what he hadn't said in the past few years, and after discussing the matter, he chatted with Yu Fei endlessly.
These small talk did not have any practical significance, but Zhou Kang and Yu Fei told each other about their experiences on Earth, imagining together what the Earth had become now and what they would do if they returned to Earth.
If he could, Zhou Kang would like to stay on the Scarlet Mountain all the time and be with Yu Fei (a strong foundation arises spontaneously). However, his control over the undead was not as easy as Yu Fei's control of his Night Elves and Blood Elves.
Compared with Yu Fei's god mode, which is similar to the control method in the game, Zhou Kang's control of the undead is closer to reality. In addition to providing mission guidance, the help of the immortal system only leaves the data statistics function, and does not have the ability to know the status of any subordinate unit and the surrounding environment at any time like Yu Fei.
Therefore, it was already a very risky thing for Zhou Kang to leave the Ice Purgatory for twenty days to find Yu Fei to "catch up". Although he was reluctant, he had to return to the territory of the undead to take power and maintain the situation.
The two, who are already on a very good relationship, make some pact about the prophesied catastrophe. Zhou Kang left the blood with tears - of course. This is an exaggeration. Zhou Kang, whose body has been transformed into a semi-undead creature, will not have tears.
Because of the speculation of the catastrophe, Zhou Kang and Yu Fei also said that although they would continue to maintain the situation of war with the demons, they only needed to keep the results of the battle. Everything else will wait until the catastrophe has passed.
As a result, the demons of the Central Domain and the Northern Wilderness found that the offensive of the Blood Elf Clan and the Undead Demon Domain had suddenly slowed down a lot, and the desire to attack had become less intense than before. The demons thought that this was a sign of the lack of succession between the two sides. Hurriedly roared, they launched a counterattack, but they were defeated by the blood elves and the undead who had been prepared for a long time, and had to live in peace.
At this time, most of the Northern Wilderness of the Abyssal Land had been occupied by the undead. The middle region is better, after the return of the Great Demon King Dia to raise the banner, a lot of territory was recaptured, and then the blood elves deliberately released water, and in the end, less than half of the place was occupied by the blood elves.
If you want to be more specific, then the territory occupied by the various forces in the demon world can also be represented by data:
It is still 100 as the overall area of the Demon Realm, of which the undead occupy 15 of the Ice Purgatory + 10 of most of the Northern Wilderness, a total of 20. The Blood Elves are Forsaken Land 5 + Abyss Land East 3 + Middle Domain, close to half 7. Total 15. In fact, the lava kingdom ruled by Illidan should also be counted as the territory of the Blood Elves, which is 20.
Other words. A huge demon realm, the territory that now truly belongs to the demons, is actually less than half of it, that is, forty-five percent of the area. If it weren't for Yu Fei and Zhou Kang wanting to keep them as shields and see the catastrophe clearly, the Demon Realm would have been divided equally between the two clans by now.
However, the demons could not see the situation and kept clamoring for the elimination of the alien race. It's a pity that because the West District and the Central Region are not united enough, and the strength is really insufficient, they can only maintain the status quo in the end.
The consequence of this embarrassing situation is that the original five-thousand-year holy war in the demon realm is now not even able to make preparations. Because this preparation is to occupy the Holy War Altars, and these altars are all in the abandoned places occupied by the Blood Elves, and are firmly held by the Blood Elves as the last way to evacuate the Demon Realm and return to the Eslazer Realm.
In this way, with the demons, the undead, and the blood elves maintaining a delicate balance, four months passed.
Every day in the past four months, Yu Fei felt extremely nervous. The prophecy does not give an exact time for the destruction of the demon realm, and it is possible every day for half a year. In the face of this unknown danger, even if Yu Fei is used to being a "god" and is almost no longer moved by external objects, he is also worried.
However, four months is enough time for Yu Fei to make arrangements for every step. As the time for the destruction of the Demon Realm approached step by step, Yu Fei had already withdrawn all the troops of the Blood Elf Clan from the Blood Mountain two months ago and gathered them together.
There are 600,000 blood elves bustling, all of whom are elite and above. If this force can be successfully brought back to the Eslazer Realm, Yu Fei will be confident that he will immediately launch an offensive against the Anthropocene Realm and achieve the ambition of unifying the Eslazer Continent.
The only one who hasn't returned to Scarlet Mountain is Illidan, who still rules the Lava Realm as Gasmol. However, Illidan has a scroll in his inventory, and although he can't go back to the realm of Ezrazor directly, he can return to Scarlet Mountain at any time with the goal of the Well of the Sun.
Even though the blood elves shrank their forces and took the initiative to give up the territory of the Abyssal Land that they had occupied before, the demons of the Abyss Land did not dare to take back the previous territory for a while. Who knows if this is a ploy by the blood elves to lure the enemy deeper?
The demons who had suffered losses were very cautious, it had been two months since the blood elves had shrunk their forces, but the demons had only taken back those territories in the Middle Domain. They didn't even dare to venture into the eastern part of the Abyssal Land, let alone enter the Forsaken Lands.
And at this time, the final catastrophe came so suddenly.
Yu Fei originally thought that the destruction of the Demon Realm in the prophecy would not appear until the so-called Holy War came, but just when there were only two months left before the spatial passage between the Demon Realm and the Eslazer Realm was actively opened, a big scene appeared.
Although the original demon realm was not bright, the sky had always maintained a dim yellow light, just like the evening time in Eslaze. This sky never changed, neither getting brighter nor darker.
However, on this day, the sky of the demon world suddenly darkened.
To be precise, this situation similar to darkness is not complete darkness, but the feeling that the demon world seems to be in the shadow of something.
Yu Fei only felt that the arcane torrent that was constantly radiating into the sky in the well of the sun where his soul resided also seemed to be blocked at this moment when it was dark in the demon realm.
The entire demon realm fell into a moment of silence at the moment of darkness, and then exploded.
Countless demons and even the flame creatures of the Lava Realm boiled in unison, uttering all sorts of words of wonder and surprise. Compared to the war that had lasted for more than a year and ended abruptly for some reason, the change in the sky of the Demon Realm attracted the natives of the Demon Realm even more.
They don't know what this change represents, but they face this change with a joy or a novel attitude. The sky that had remained unchanged for thousands of years suddenly changed, and the demons who had not smelled the danger from it, although they were a little uncomfortable with the darkness, did not panic.
Relatively speaking, the Lava Nation is better. Although the entire Demon Realm seemed to be suddenly darkened by shadows, it could not block the light emitted by the geographical plane of the Demon Realm itself—that is, the magma flowing everywhere in the Lava Realm.
Due to the presence of lava, the area where the lava country is located appears to be relatively bright. It's just that under this bright light, no flame creatures found in the belly of the large volcano in the center of the volcanic basin, and their current ruler, the Fire Demon King Gasmol, appeared around him with mysterious runes, and then disappeared without a trace.
Illidan has no nostalgia for the lava country. In fact, when the Fire Demon Emperor blew himself up and his dead soul was destroyed by Illidan, he already wanted to return to the place where the Father God was. It's just that Yu Fei considered that he still needed him to lead the lava realm to contain the demons of the abyss land a little bit, so he stayed until now.
Now, the destruction of the demon world, that is, the worst catastrophe, has come, and Yu Fei needs Illidan, a mythical supreme powerhouse, to stay by his side as a safeguard, so he does not hesitate to use the city return scroll to return to the Scarlet Mountain.
The strange thing is that the demon world has been shrouded in shadows for ten days, but there are still no new changes. At least, in Yu Fei's induction, there was no commotion.
This is not scientific, Yu Fei's soul in the Well of the Sun has a solemn face. During this time, he had felt the call of the Night Elves from the Eslazer Realm, but in order not to miss the destruction of the Demon Realm and obtain the Heart of Darkness, Yu Fei did not respond to the call of the Night Elves.
But if the so-called destruction is just such a change in the sky, then is it a bit of a fuss? No, it can't just be that way! Yu Fei waited quietly.
At the same time, in the center of the Ice Purgatory, inside the Frozen Throne, Zhou Kang was also nervous. In the prophecy that Yu Fei told him, there was information related to the undead. In fact, compared to Yu Fei, who hoped that the Demon Realm would be destroyed and obtain the Heart of Darkness, Zhou Kang hoped that the Demon Realm would continue to exist completely, so that he could successfully complete the main quest of occupying half of the territory of the Demon Realm, rather than creating any new moths.
But it backfired. While Yu Fei waited, Zhou Kang's nervousness and most of the demons were still confused, the real catastrophe finally came. (To be continued......)
