96: The Missing Lord of Sin

Except for the strong demonic stench in the air that only a witcher like Kirara could smell and no one else could smell.

The Lord of Sin, Azmodan, along with his wife, disappeared as if out of thin air.

I sent out more than 700 Rog warriors as scouts, and after searching for more than half a month, I searched all the areas around the ruins of Atri, and I didn't see the shadow of the demon.

Or that the shadow of the large-scale demon was not found, and the small number of demons found a lot of nests.

You must know that according to Kirara's calculations, the missing Azmodan should not only bring his wife, but also an army of demons with at least 100,000 people.

This is the conclusion that Kirara has come to by comparing the current number of cleanups with the number of previous memories.

"It's a pity that the explosion of the World Stone shattered the spatial barrier, otherwise it would be impossible for a demon king to hide his whereabouts in my eyes." Batuk, who used to be an expert in summoning demons, said.

Jordun Kuller, who is Hratim, gave a more accurate result than Batuk, presumably because Hradim was established to hunt down the Demon King.

Unfortunately, this is more accurate, and only relatively accurate, and Jordan Culler can only guarantee that there is indeed a demon king hiding in this area of the ruins of Atri.

But where it is, Jordan Kuhler doesn't know.

The entire ruins of Atri, including the Bastin Fortress, are known as the Land of Fear.

Finding an army of demons among them, even if there are 100,000, is insignificant.

With a few hundred Rogge warriors serving as scouts, it is estimated that he will have to find the Year of the Monkey.

As for the soldiers of the Nephilim Legion, have you ever seen hoplites as scouts?

Moreover, the position of scout is basically only held by veterans, although these Nephilim legionnaires, who were ordinary citizens a few months ago, have just experienced a baptism of battle, but after all, they are still a little behind.

"So, where the hell is that big fat mound in Azmodan?" Mishan, who had returned to Bastin Fortress with his troops, pondered in front of the map.

When he knew that Azmodan was not at home, Mishan's first reaction was that his hometown was raided by the other party, but when he rushed back, there were no demons appearing, and those fortress defenders changed from elite soldiers to old and weak miscellaneous fish at a speed visible to the naked eye when there were no demons as enemies......

"If they're serious about trying to hide, they're hard to find." As the commander of the Air Force, Dr. Ziegler, who is now tasked with sending search forces on a daily basis to conduct carpet dragnet reconnaissance, said.

"But the problem is that no matter how much they hide, they'll be found by us sooner or later, right?" After Mi Shan finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the black soul stones floating beside him and said, "And their target is in my hands, so there is no point in hiding like this." ”

"Maybe the Lord of Sin is doing something more meaningful." Dr. Ziegler speculated.

"But what could be more meaningful than taking the Black Soul Stone?" Mi Shan said with some curiosity.

This kind of routine of not playing cards according to the plot of the game, Mi Shan's experience of relying on the foresight of the game plot is useless.

But because I've seen a lot, Mishan isn't too surprised, anyway, as I said, although I can't find it for the time being, I can find it sooner or later.

As long as the King of Sin is still in the ruins of Atri, he will definitely not be able to avoid the dragnet reconnaissance of the air force.

It is just the right time to take advantage of this time to carry out a second reorganization of the troops, expand the air force units, and refine the composition of the services.

The Rog warriors, led by Kashya, who had reinforced the fortress of Bastin months in advance, were so envious of the lumen armor and Amba suits that their companions were wearing that they exploded.

Once the two blacksmiths, Heidegger and Farah, had built the melting pot and used the abundant reserves of the Bastin Fortress to expand the army.

"By the way, did you see Kirara?" Mishan, who was going to find Jilara to pay tribute to a little more witcher skills, didn't find where she was.

"I guess I'm out scouting." Dr. Ziegler said that after all, Kirara also had a lumen armor and belonged to the Air Force...... It can be roughly regarded as a captain machine.

However, whether it is the lumen armor made by Farah or the Amba suit made by Dr. Ziegler, they are not as good as the equipment that Kirara comes with in terms of attributes, at most they are a little more functional.

So after the freshness has passed, it is rare to see Kirara flying around in the sky.

"Maybe it's a fear of heights...... Dr. Ziegler said.

"Well, maybe......" Mishan replied casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black figure fly into the fortress, hovering around the ceiling dozens of meters high for a half and a half before falling.

Without waiting for Mishan to complain about why Jilara didn't use the city return technique but chose to fly back, Jilara, who fell to the ground, said immediately: "I found it." ”

“……”

“……

Misr and Dr. Ziegler fell silent together.

"What's wrong?" Jilara, who didn't understand why Mishan fell silent, asked.

“…… No response......" Mi Shan glanced at the Black Soul Stone in silence, and saw that the Black Soul Stone was still firmly in a state that looked like it wanted to explode, but it was always a little bit almost there.

"What's not happening?" Jilara asked, a little dazed.

"I mean, if you've found the Lord of Sin, why didn't you kill them all?" Mishan said, "I thought you'd find them and kill them." “

Dr. Ziegler nodded quickly, agreeing with Mishan's statement, and it was a little strange that Nephilim would pass by the demon and not move his hand.

"Didn't you make a mistake once?" The corners of Kirara's eyes twitched, and she said in an embarrassed tone, "And I'm not sure that if I kill Azmodan in that place, its soul will be absorbed into the Black Soul Stone." ”

“…… How? Is it located in a special place? "Mishan remembers that after killing the Demon King in the game, the Demon King's soul would float in place until it was absorbed by the Black Soul Stone.

"It's quite special." Kirara nodded and said, "They're in the Sescheron Fortress." ”

"Sescheron Fortress...... Forehead...... The capital of the barbarians? The name that Kirala said was more formal, and it took Mishan a second to realize what Jilara was talking about.

"Well, that's it, the capital of the barbarians." Kirara nodded.

“…… What is Azmodan going to do there, there should be only wreckage and ruins left. Mi Shan said a little strangely.

"All I see is that the demons seem to be digging something." Kirara said.

"Is there anything worth digging up there, a fragment of the World Stone?" Mi Shan said subconsciously.

"......" lasted for about ten seconds of silence, and finally Mi Shan broke the cold and said, "Gather your troops, you can go." “

"Why don't you go and see what those demons are doing?" Dr. Ziegler asked curiously.

If the elite troops fly directly over, they may be able to run back and forth in a day, and if the whole army is dispatched, it will take at least three or four days to march in a hurry, and it will inevitably be detected by the demons.

"No need, just let Jilara keep an eye on it, I want to see what is more important than the Black Soul Stone." Mishan smiled and said, "If it's really a fragment of the World Stone, I'd rather hope that Azmodean dug it up, so it will save me a lot of things." “
