Chapter 49: Long-Lost Unity
"Hmm...... It seems that it has gone too far.'" After Iver withdrew the flames, he looked around him, scratched his head, and laughed dryly.
The explosion just now burned everything within a radius of 100 meters in an instant, and the charred earth was exposed, with the residual heat of the burning. All vegetation and critters vanished into thin air with the explosion, leaving only a few ashes behind.
Iver himself didn't know how far he had been taken by Solap, and he didn't think much of it when he used all his strength. However, judging from the actual situation, Ivor seemed to be almost to the border of Dimor, and he could see the mountain not far away, so he was sure that the explosion just now did not affect Dimore City.
However, Iver quickly remembered the most important thing, that the enemy might not have been completely destroyed. And just as he picked up his tomahawk and was about to run back to the city, Sack appeared in front of him, followed by Dvoga
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry I was careless." Iver looked apologetic when he saw Sack arrive.
"There's no need to blame yourself, the main thing now is to find the whereabouts of the missing civilians, and the purpose of the Necrons doing so." Sack waved his hand to say to Ive.
"I have gained something about this matter, and I would like to ask you to return to the palace for the time being."
With the sudden sound of Sheola's voice, a shadow hung over the heads of Sack and the others. It was the Demon King's Temple, and Sheora drove it here.
A purple beam of light fell from the edge of the palace, and Sack stepped into the beam first, and Dvoga and Iver looked at each other, nodded, and followed. After the three of them entered the beam, the beam rose upwards and brought the three of them to the palace.
Back at the Demon King's Palace, Sack couldn't wait to enter the main hall to ask what was going on. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw that in the corner on one side, Regis was pierced by several slender black threads, hanging in the air.
The black line was covered with the chill of Theola, leaving Regis completely unconscious from her wounds. There was not a single scar on her face, but the almost desperate look in her eyes and her trembling body made one roughly imagine what had happened to her.
Sack could feel a faint breath of life from Regis, like a candle in the wind, but his vital signs were forcibly maintained by a magical force. Looking at Caina sitting on an ice chair next to Sheola, Zac knew who this life-sustaining magic came from.
"Sheola, ......?" Dvoga was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene in front of him, and at the same time noticed Kaina beside Siola and saluted her.
Devoga was all too familiar with Kaina, who was very famous among soldiers when she was an ordinary soldier. Ivor on the side looked puzzled, he was able to go from a civilian to a soldier and then a general because of Dvoga's support, and he didn't know anything about Kaina.
"Iver shouldn't be familiar with her, I'll introduce you......" Sack pointed to Kaina and said to Dvoga and Ive.
"First time we met, my name is Kaina? Aluson? Berans, this is General Ive, who has long admired his name. Also, after many years, Dvoga has also become the commander, congratulations." Before Sack could introduce her, Kaina stood up and nodded slightly to Dvoga and Iver with a calm expression.
"You've already understood, so Sheola, what do you know?" Sack shook his head helplessly, silently sighing that after so many years of not seeing him, Kaina's character was still like this.
"I'll have to ask her." Siola smiled and looked at Regis to the side. With a slight hook of her fingers, a slender ice pick emerged from the floor, piercing Regis's jaw and forcing her to lift her head.
"Tell me about it, you'd better be honest." Sheola looked at Regis indifferently and said.
Although the ice pick pierced Regis's jaw, it didn't hurt her mouth, but it still caused her severe pain.
"The inflow of the energy of the dead is limited by the Netherworld, so you can only catch the demons......
Before Regis could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened, and his body froze there, no longer moving. Sheola didn't let her continue, and looked at Kaina, who clenched her fist in her right hand, and the black lines spread violently, tearing Regis to pieces.
Theora turned her head and saw the anger on Sack's face, presumably Sack knew what the Necronomicon was about, so she didn't explain it anymore.
"Want to use our civilians as energy bodies for their breeding, damn necromancy!" Sack clenched his fists, but because of his identity, he didn't burst out of his breath.
"It's likely that the Necrons will use their portal to transfer civilians to Trier, and then send them to the underworld through the warped space there. Have you done anything to survive......
Dvoga's brows furrowed, his expression a little anxious. Then he turned to Zac and said, "Your Majesty, please decide!"
"I know you've always been unhappy with me, and I'm not stupid about you hiding soldiers. I've done something inappropriate, but now that the situation has become like this, I'm going to prove with my actions that I'm not fit to be the Demon King."
Sack took a deep breath, also facing Dvoga, and held out his right hand, "Are you still willing to offer your loyalty?"
As soon as Sack's words fell, the hall fell silent for a few seconds.
"Your Majesty, don't say anything, I'm willing!" Before Dvoga could respond, Iver stepped forward and took Sark's hand.
As the Demon King, Sack is willing to put down his body and treat Devoga, who once stood almost clearly opposite him, like a comrade-in-arms, which made Ivor who was originally on Dvoga's side very moved. Before Sark could say what he was going to do next, Iver decided to follow without even thinking about it.
Compared to Ive's hot-blooded impulsiveness, Devoga seems calmer.
(Indeed, if I continue to oppose Your Majesty now, it will seem that I do not understand the overall situation.) Your Majesty has shown a very different story since this battle. Is he really for the demons, not for his own power? Now I don't understand it. )
(But...... )
Dvoga pondered for a while, and finally showed a determined look at Sak, and also stretched out his hand, "For the sake of the demons, I will do my best."
"Good!" Zac was thrilled and exclaimed, "In that case, let's end this war together!"
"By the way, what's going on with Artevans?" Sack almost forgot about the existence of Atfans, and turned to look at Siola and asked.
"Master Artevans will deal with the necromantic armies in the fields of Dimor, and from the feedback he has given me, it seems that he has not encountered any captured civilians. The worst scenario now is for the civilians to be transferred to Trier."
Siola calmly replied to Saker's words, "Moreover, there are eight necromantic generals who have come this time, and according to the current situation, there are still three who are still in Dimor."
"As far as I can see, we must now secure the security of Dimor, and on this premise, find the enemy who has not yet appeared. After all this is dealt with, we should go to the captive civilians. If you are too anxious to find civilians, there is a high risk that the enemy will take advantage of them."
After hearing Sheola's words, Sack nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said to the group, "Just do as Sheora says, Iver will be in charge of guarding the town, and Sheora will send some warlocks to assist. Dvoga, you take a part of your soldiers to the field to search for traces of the enemy. As for ......
Sack paused and looked at Kaina.
"I'm right here, I'll be there whenever I need it, and besides, I have something to say to Your Majesty." Kaina noticed Sark's gaze and spoke leisurely.
Then, the crowd said nothing more and immediately took action. In the empty palace, only Sack and Kaina were left at this time. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Sack looked at Kaina as if she was holding back her words, but she didn't know where to start.
"Is everything Your Majesty said and done just now for the benefit of the Demon Clan?" Kaina broke the awkward situation first, but seemed to lead the atmosphere to an even more awkward situation.
"I'm ......," Sach froze. If it was Dvoga, Ive, or even Sheola in front of him at this time, he could say "yes" with great confidence. But at this time, he was facing Kaina, and he couldn't lie.
"I'm afraid that the interests of the demons only account for the majority, and you still have selfish intentions. You want to use this war to regain the hearts and minds of the people you have lost, stabilize the demons again, and then consolidate your power. Indeed, as a king, you are doing the right thing.'"
"But if the Necronomicon hadn't cornered you to no point of return, you'd probably not be like that. And my presence seems to have given you a lot of confidence." Kaina's words told him all about what he really thought.
Sack was silent, unable to refute Kaina's words, after all, what Kaina said was true. Sack values power very much, and everything he does for so many years as a demon king is constantly consolidating his power.
"For the sake of power, you can be fearless, and soon after taking office, you executed your sister, and let the Black Temple disappear from then on, reclaiming the power that the Black Temple has. Subsequently, you execute a group of corrupt nobles one after another. But for the sake of power, you can also be cowardly, and when faced with the Necromancy, you will not hesitate to retreat again and again, and eventually lose most of your territory. I am out of your sight, but I am in sight."
Kaina looked calm, not as if she was blaming Sack, but more like she was waiting for a satisfactory answer.
Sack was silent for a moment, then strengthened his heart and said to Kaina, "At least this time, I'm going to unite the demons and get through this. If the outcome of this battle is satisfactory, then I will reclaim Trier.'"
Kayina was undoubtedly pleased with Sack's words, and she nodded, and walked to the terrace, looking down at Dimore.
Smoke still fills the city of Demoor, but no more enemies are wreaking havoc. Because after the Eye of the Dead was broken by Artevans before, the Necronomicon did not dare to summon the Eye of the Dead again at the price, so that the soldiers of the Demon Race could use their strength with peace of mind. At least the demons are not at a disadvantage in the current situation, and they are even developing in a good direction.
Unbeknownst to Zac, however, Theora did not leave immediately, but hid in a place he did not see.
"You should have heard everything, Lord Artevans......
