Chapter 56: Waiting

A procession of knights holding aloft the fire-bee heraldic banner galloped wildly, and the heralds who announced victory galloped in all directions.

"We have won!" a herald swept past Niels' phalanx, "rejoice, valiant warriors!"

"Long live the Saint Soran Empire!" Nils and his companions jumped to their feet.

At this moment, as an ordinary person, they are so happy. They were finally sure they could cheer the victory. They were finally sure that their loved ones and their homes had been saved.

Eretia tilted her head.

The sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami, squeezing from all directions, hit her wave after wave, making her feel as if her soul had flown into the sky.

It was the joy of thousands of people.

There is no sound in this world that is more pleasant and beautiful than this cheer!

In the midst of the cheering crowd, Adolf looked anxiously.

As Grand Duke Loulian, he should be the most pleasing of all. But at this moment, he didn't have time to join the celebratory crowd, and even the congratulations of the lords and nobles, he was just absent-mindedly perfunctory, and his eyes did not leave the red light gate for a moment.

One by one, the surviving mercenaries came out.

In front of the red light gate, it has become a sea of joy.

When Scarlett, escorted by Ralph, walked out of the light gate, Anthony's feet were weak, and he relied on the support of the guard knights around him to keep him from falling. Elizabeth, on the other hand, rushed over and took Scarlett into her arms, crying and describing her worries.

"He's alive, he must be alive. Fano whispered in Adolf's ear.

Their gaze didn't linger on Scarlett's body for half a second. For the Lurians, no matter how noble the status is. It's not as good as a hair of that brunette kid.

After Scarlett, nearly a hundred more people came out. Together with the wounded, the total number of survivors has reached four hundred and sixteen.

However, Adolf still did not wait for the person he was waiting for.

Until the last female mage, who looked a little weak, walked out of the red light gate, for a long time, there was no movement in the light gate.

Adolf's heart. sank.

He walked forward, and if he remembered correctly, Roy was with Rondero's squad. He wanted to ask someone, but he couldn't hold his breath anymore.

However, at this moment, he noticed a strange phenomenon - none of the surviving mercenaries had left the light gate. After hugging and celebrating with their companions, they waited there one by one, more than 400 people, lined up in a long passage. Among them. Including Scarlett.

This is......

The abnormal scene surprised everyone.

I don't know when, the cheers have stopped. The chaotic celestial phenomena caused by the forbidden spell have also returned to normal. The clouds cleared and the sun fell. A gust of wind blew, and the soft branches swayed in the wind. The knights' clothes, capes, and banners fluttered and hunted.

Everyone is waiting.

#########

When Afu's figure disappeared into the light gate. At the blood-colored altar, Roy was the only one left.

The reason why it is at the end. First, it is because as the controller of Banksar, he wants to ensure that all mercenaries can leave safely under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of demons who have returned to the abyss through the passage. Second, it's because before leaving. He needs to accept the last fortune.

At this moment, a complex demonic light was slowly dissipating from Roy's feet.

Under Banksar's orders, eight eleventh-level demons and seventy-two of the hundreds of tenth-level demons signed a contract with Roy. Since then, he has been Roy's loyal servant.

In fact. According to Roy's own wishes, he would like to make a pact with all the demons. However, at least until he broke through the Sanctuary, his demon space could only accommodate these demons.

This is still relying on the secret technique taught by the shield spirit, otherwise, with the level of today's dwarf demon warlocks, even if they are strong in the holy realm, there are no more than thirty-six demons who can sign a contract. This means that, from the perspective of a demon warlock, he has far surpassed everyone else.

One twelve-level demon, eight eleven-level demons, seventy-two tenth-level demons, plus a demon hunter. It can be said that Roy has a small demon army.

The Demon Warlock was originally the most difficult of all the magic classes, and now Roy is far more difficult than any other Demon Warlock!

Plus the learning in the magic tower, plus the four pieces of armor of the Demon King's Radiance, plus the Star King and the three bone dragons. It can be said that Roy's harvest can no longer be described as rich. All he gets, even one hundredth of a percent leak out of his fingers, is enough to cause an earthquake.

The demons dispersed one after another.

Collecting Banksar and the other demons into his demon space, Roy turned his head to look at the Star King, the three bone dragons, and Morton beside them not far away.

Morton was only brought by the Star King after the mercenaries left.

Unlike the Star King Bone Dragon, he must also pass through the Blood Sacrifice Passage to be able to return to the surface. It's just that, for some reason, Roy doesn't want others to know about his relationship with him.

At this moment, Morton stood quietly on the edge of the altar, his expression respectful, and he had long since lost his previous fierceness.

After being caught, he had signed a demonic contract with Banksar. This means that this ferocious vicious dog is put on a rope.

He was not Roy's servant.

Rather, a servant of Roy's servant.

All it takes is Roy's thought and he will be reduced to ashes. His strength, his cunning, his domain, and even the entire Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment combined, none of them could help him.

Originally, Roy didn't want to spare Morton's life.

As a notorious villain, Morton doesn't know how much blood has been stained on his hands over the years, and he doesn't know how much life debt he has carried. His ferocity and cruelty have long been widely known. Countless enemies are eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and cut him with a thousand knives.

Although Roy doesn't think he's a good person, such a person still goes against his own values.

When he was a child in the jungle, when he encountered poisonous snakes and beasts, Roy would never do anything stupid to raise tigers, he would not hesitate to kill them, skillfully peel the skin and bones, and sell them for a good price.

However, Morton was a Sanctuary powerhouse after all.

In today's troubled times, whether it is a bandit army or a human race, the loss of a sacred domain is a huge loss. Especially when this sanctuary can also be under absolute control.

It is better for him to die here than to die on the battlefield. At least it's atonement.

Moreover...... Roy stared at the Blood Sacrifice Passage, a sneer curling into his mouth.

In the future, it is inevitable that there will be many things that cannot be surfaced that are inconvenient for oneself. And at that time, isn't it necessary to do dirty work and carry a black pot?

Turning his head to look at the silent garden, Roy was momentarily stunned by the giant who had given him endless help.

He didn't know what Noiotans had seen in the Great Prophecy back then, and for himself, there were too many secrets to uncover. But he knew that after he left, the magic tower would be sealed in the abyss forever. Together with its former owner, eternally asleep.

This made Roy feel a pang of sadness.

After a long silence, he strode into the red light door...... WeChat public number ctao0202...... (To be continued.) )
