Artfans made the same proclamation as he had done during the attack on the Plains of Sepion and the Forest of Ramas.

Although Artevans could have attacked with his men without a word, and then manipulated the minds of these humans with spirit spells to make them submit. However, Artevans was reluctant to do so, preferring to see the desperation of the humans after trying their best but doing nothing.

Artevans always believed in the fact that forcibly transforming human consciousness to their own use would be straightforward and effective, but it would only create many more puppets who could not think.

Rather than this, it is better to destroy the human will and make them feel truly hopeless, so as to convince them that the only way out is to submit to Artevans.

That's what Artevans really wants to see.

When he once launched an attack on the humans of the Sepion Plains in the Northern Continent, Artevans almost relied on pure force to kill the strong, so that the surviving ordinary people lost the protection of the strong, so that they did not dare to resist, but did not make everyone truly obey Artfans from the heart.

However, the situation of the humans in the Northern Continent was not the same as the situation of the humans in the Southern Continent today, and what Artevans could not achieve at the beginning, he could now achieve.

After all, in the city-state settlement model, the lord of the city-state, as a lord, has many responsibilities on his shoulders. The lord of the city-state is not only to rule the people in the city-state, but also to protect his city-state and protect his people, and every decision of the city-state lord will affect the fate of the city-state.

On the other hand, Artevans learned from Loat that the lord of the city-state was chosen by the inhabitants of the city-state, and that the lord of the city-state was bound to be respected and loved by the people. In other words, as long as the lord of the city-state is obedient, it is basically equivalent to making everyone in the entire city-state obedient.

Therefore, Artevans decided to give these city-state lords in front of him a chance, let them try to resist, and make them completely understand that they are actually powerless in the face of true strength.

"You can attack me whenever you want, but I warn you not to try to ask for help from the outside world, and I will monitor all of you until you actually attack." Atfans smiled and said to the remaining five city-state lords in front of him.

At this time, the faces of the five city-state lords were very solemn, and their eyes were full of murderous intent when they looked at Artfans, but none of them dared to step forward to challenge. After all, it was just now that Artevans had easily killed Gail. In the face of Artevans, who has such strength, they have no choice but to endure for the time being, not to let the impulse endanger their lives.

Seeing that there was no response from the five people in front of him, Artevans shrugged his shoulders. Then, he turned his gaze back to Gale on the side.

Artevans took a black hedron out of his pocket and shoved it into Gail's mouth.

Moments later, Gell's pinched skull was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the severed arms were spliced back together. In less than ten seconds, Gail's chest heaved again, he regained his breath, and his heart beat again.

"Soul Revival" is a move that Artevans obtained when he cultivated his Dark Devil's racial characteristics to the extreme, and the effect is to resurrect an ordinary lifeform that has only been dead for no more than ten minutes and completely restore the body, which can only be used once every five days.

Ordinary lifeforms here refer to lifeforms that have not been transformed by special rituals, which means that "awakened people" who have been transformed like Liel cannot accept "soul resurrection".

The hedron that Artevans took out was just a trick for him, after all, he was disguised as a human at this time, and a normal human would not have the ability to resurrect living beings. In fact, the hedron that Artevans took out had no effect, and he did it so as not to reveal his demon identity.

This scene made the five people's eyes widen and their faces were shocked, they couldn't believe that there would be a resurrection artifact in this world as if it was going back in time.

Seeing Gael's successful resurrection, Artevans nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the five men standing in front of him and said, "When this man wakes up, I will trouble you to convey to him what I have said, and as for the other people I have killed, there is nothing I can do."

Then, Atfans smiled grimly, "Of course, I couldn't be happier if you chose to do nothing and surrender to me. After all, your so-called rebellion is meaningless......

With that, Artevans turned and walked away.

——————————————

Night has fallen.

Gail, who had been reborn because of the "Soul Revival", finally opened his eyes, and he looked at his hands, his face full of doubt, "Huh? I'm ......

In his memory, he remembered that he had indeed been killed by Artevans, and he wondered why he seemed to have been brought to life again.

"Gail, we're going to talk to you next, so please don't get excited, because everything we're saying is true." The city-state lords of the other city-states on the side saw Gail wake up, and immediately stepped forward and said slowly.

Seeing the serious faces of the five people in front of him, Gail also knew that this matter was very serious, so he nodded and motioned for them to continue.

The five men looked at each other, and eventually a white-haired old man repeated everything Artfans had said to Gail.

……

"That's the way it is, it's really the first time I've seen such a powerful strength with my own eyes, and it's no exaggeration to say that that person's strength is at least comparable to that of the Sword Emperor." The old man sighed as he repeated the words of Artevans to Gail.

The Sword Emperor mentioned by the old man was one of the powerhouses known throughout the Southern Continent, the lord of Phothes.

After hearing these words, Gail's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, "You mean, that person at least has the strength of the Sword Emperor!?" If that's the case, then even if all the forces of our six city-states combined, I'm afraid we will only be able to barely fight with him, let alone ......

At this point, Gale didn't continue, he clenched his fists, and his face became a little ugly.

"He probably has men, doesn't he?" A one-eyed man on the side said what Gail didn't say.

At this moment, the woman standing next to the one-eyed man spoke, "If you look at it this way, the change in the city-state in the west yesterday is probably caused by that person just now. I'm afraid that now that the city-state has completely fallen, it is impossible for the civilians there to resist.'"

Because of the effect of Royatt's "real death", these people no longer have the impression of Mitz. As for why Gust still remembers the existence of Mitz, it is probably only the influence of Gerst's own ability.

As soon as the words fell, the six of them were all silent, and they knew very well in their hearts that even if they joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Artfans. However, for the sake of their respective city-states, they could only try.

"After all, that person is still human, as long as he is human, there will be shortcomings, there will be limits, as long as we can find his weaknesses, we still have a little chance of winning, right?" A strong, muscular man standing next to the old man spoke.

These words gave the people present a little more confidence, and they began to discuss a plan to unite and resist. After all, if you don't do anything, you're just waiting to die, and it's better to fight than that.

……

"It seems that they really mistook me for a human, and I wonder what kind of expressions they will show when they know my true identity?" Looking at the scene of the fierce discussion between the lords of the six city-states reflected in the crystal ball, Artevans smiled disdainfully.

After a few more moments, Artevans put away the crystal ball and leaned back in his chair to close his eyes. He is now sitting in the main hall of Mitz, the city-state lord of the original city-state, which has also been transformed into the "Demon King Palace" of Atfans in the Southern Continent.

By this time, the eastern part of the town had been completely emptied for the battle that would come at an unknown time.

Artevans concentrated his stronghold near the west, because there was only one mountain to the west, which would make the stronghold safer.

(It's almost time for them to come back...... ）

Just as Artevans had predicted, less than half a minute later, he sensed the energy fluctuations of Liel and Rusa.

Hearing the footsteps of Liel and Rusa as they walked into the main hall, Artevans didn't open his eyes, but said slowly, "Is it all done?"

"The entire mountain has been controlled by us, all the rebels who have appeared have been dealt with, and the rest have obeyed." Rusha took a step forward, bent down slightly, and said respectfully.

Hearing Rutha's report, Artevans nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, now we just need to wait for those city-states to send troops to attack."

And just after Artevans finished saying this, Rodat's voice suddenly sounded in his head, "Brother Atfans, are you interested in meeting?" I have something I want to tell you about so that you can move more smoothly in the future.'"

"You're always showing up out of nowhere." Artevans smiled helplessly and replied with his thoughts.

Indeed, almost every time Rodat communicated with Atfans with his mind suddenly, without the slightest warning, and almost every time Rodat came up to express his intentions.

However, Artevans didn't hate Rodat about it, after all, he did bring useful information every time.

Immediately afterward, Artevans said to Roat, "Just come to me and I'll let Lil and Rusa go for a while."

——————————————

Less than five minutes later, Roat appeared in the main hall, and he looked at Atfans with a smile on his face, his eyes were a little subtle, as if he was a little emotional because he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"What do you want to tell me?" Artevans didn't want to say any nonsense, so he asked directly.

(As always, Brother Artfans...... ）

Roart shook his head a little helplessly, and said slowly, "It's about those strong people in the Southern Continent who can pose a threat to you......
