Chapter 18: The Evil of the Underworld
"Even the wisest people make mistakes. Our ancestors awakened these demons sealed by the gods from the underworld, these demons possess terrifying abilities, they are not strong at first, but they start to grow strong as soon as they eat human flesh! β
"The more you eat, the stronger you get. It was the first time I faced these underground demons. The Ancestor almost filled the entire Praetorian Legion of the White City! β
"These Underworld demons can't communicate, or they can understand what we're saying, but they refuse to communicate with us because we're just food to them, and who is going to talk to their own food?"
Trying to make the atmosphere a little lighter, Agart spread his hands: "We don't know what that seal is all about, we can only imagine that it was created by the gods. Although the seal is broken, it can be repaired by the divine power in the blood of Alossos! β
"So each of our emperors' missions, in addition to protecting the entire country, is also the sacrifice of sealing the demons of the earth. If things come to a point of despair, we even need to sacrifice our own lives! β
"That's why my grandfather burned his life. It was the biggest Underworld event in nearly a thousand years, and after that, there were some problems with the royal bloodline, and it became very difficult for us to have children. But if it's a child like Isidor who has no divine power, that's fine! β
Agette smiled self-deprecatingly, "Isidor has never used the Star Stone, he has achieved his current position entirely by his own talent and hard work. But there is no divine power in his veins. If it weren't for the need for divine power to seal the Underworld, I would be more than willing to pass on the throne to him! β
In fact, Agette did delegate much of the power that should have been held by the Emperor to Isidor.
"Your Majesty, we have discussed this issue countless times. I don't think there's any need for us to go any further! Isidor didn't like to discuss it.
"Okay, okay." Agette raised his hand in surrender, "Let's go back to the Underground! β
"Three months ago, the Night Oath who was guarding the dungeon sent back the news that a small number of underground demons had appeared from the seal, and the number was doubling every ten days, but so far the seal has not been completely broken."
"Dear Isidore, you should understand what that means. Every time such a situation occurs, it means that the degree of destruction of the seal becomes serious, and the number of Underworld demons will increase explosively. β
"Three hundred and seventy years ago, the last Underworld Demon event during my grandfather's reign was a two-month preparation period, and that time, my grandfather faced 50,000 Underworld Demons!"
And now, three months later, the seal is still not completely broken. How many Underworld demons do you think we'll face this time? β
Isidore's face became more and more serious: "Your Majesty, you should have informed me of this matter earlier!" β
"Three months ago, when those guys from the Donghu tribe were still attacking the border, can I call you back? Apparently impossible. And honestly, what can you do when you come back? β
Agette shrugged, "I'm calling you back now because five days ago the Oath found out that the seal had been opened, and the Underworld could appear at any moment!" β
Isidor sighed softly.
Agette was not wrong, even if he told him in advance, it was useless, except that he could not concentrate on patrolling the border.
Kungo now almost understands some of these problems.
Let's not talk about how the Ming Emperor died. Let's just talk about the embarrassment of the current royal family of Aroses.
After the appearance of the Underworld, they will have to send a large force to suppress it, but the characteristics of the Underworld are that the more people they eat, the stronger they will become.
How can there be immortals in war? So the more difficult this war is in the later stages.
The only way the royal family of Alossos could think of was to send as many masters as possible to suppress it.
But if all the masters are sent up, and if there is an accident, all of them will be folded inside, then the NΓΊmenor Empire will be finished.
There are many enemies of the Empire.
But if you move the capital out of here, and then turn the Underworld Demon into a whole world thing. Let's not talk about the issue of people's hearts, just the need for the royal blood of Arossos to strengthen the seal makes them very passive.
Could it be that after every underground demon incident, the emperor will come to the emperor to personally march and shout, so that the world's masters will gather to fight against the underground demon?
Who can guarantee that those masters who come to help are not crooked?
Who can guarantee that the masters of those other forces will have a long-term vision of the future, and maybe they will be more than happy to kill the NΓΊmenor Empire by the Underworld?
The flaws of human selfishness and hostility would have become the worst enemy of the royal family of Alossos in this case.
In fact, even the royal family of Alossos is not a real grand duke, selflessly sacrificing silently for the world.
They just can't help it, they don't have a choice.
"I think I kind of understand what's going on. I don't know when you're going to go down to the underground palace, Lord Duke? I intend to participate in your actions. I'm very interested in something like this! Kungo's eyes reflected a strange light.
Both Agette and Isidor were overjoyed.
Although everything will not be fine with Kungo, it is undoubtedly a good thing to have a strong helper.
"I'll leave tomorrow, time is getting more and more urgent, I want to go down to see the situation first, and then decide to send troops!" Isidor said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for the Duke's notice tomorrow!" The expression on Kungo's face was light.
After Kun Wu and Xiao Miao were taken down, Agut's whole temperament changed suddenly: "Isidor, do you think this person can be trusted?" β
"At present, it seems that he is not a person of this world, and it is possible that he came from some hidden place, because he has no concept of many common sense questions!"
Isidor looked solemn: "He must have a purpose, and that purpose is not easy to accomplish. It is even very involved, but from the moment it seems that he is not hostile to us! β
"Is his strength really as strong as rumored?" Agette asked another question.
Isidore: "All I can say is that I can't see through him. An adult dragon had no power to resist in his hands. Odin saw that he didn't even have the idea to do it! And when necessary, he can be ruthless and ruthless! β
"I see what you mean. Don't let him be our enemy, will you? β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, I know, you go and prepare, go to the underground palace tomorrow!"
