The pool of blood in the center of the altar was tumbling with bubbles, and a red mist of blood was steaming and spreading everywhere.

The passage in mid-air has expanded to a diameter of nearly twenty meters.

Behind the entrance, a huge ball of light was expanding. All the demons looking up at the passage knew that when this light cluster finally expanded to a certain extent, it would be like a huge magic cannon, slamming through the abyss and the prohibition of the outside world, opening up a passage to the outside world.

"A thousand years ago, I was a fourth-level demon living in the second layer. In the silence, the voice of the red demon Banksar rang out.

"Back then, I only knew instinctive killing. Slaughtering their own kind, the warmth of their bodies attracts me and makes me want to devour them. ”

"I don't know how long it took, but I was finally promoted to the fifth-level demon and came to the third layer. One day, I suddenly woke up from the nightmare, knew myself, and knew the world. I know it's called the abyss. I also know that we are called demons. ”

As he spoke, Banksar frowned, "I hate the name Demon. ”

Thousands of demons gathered around the altar quietly watched Banksar and listened to him.

"The name was given to us by the guys who came in from outside, and I didn't like it. However, I cannot object. They can't give us a nice name again, because everyone calls us that, and our people call themselves that, and they don't know who they are talking about if they change the name. ”

"I told a demon that we were called the Abyssal Man, and he was dazed and annoyed, thinking I had a strange name, and kept barking at me. Then I ate it. ”

"Later, I thought of a nice name, called Yuan Ling, and told another demon I met that he didn't like it, so I had to eat it again. It doesn't taste as good as the previous one. ”

"And many times...... These guys are stupid, and they all think I'm a demon with a sick brain. They roared at me, trying to gouge out my heart, but they couldn't beat me, and I could always kill them easily, even if some of them were better than me. ”

"Do you know why?"

"Because I'm smarter than them, I like to think. ”

"The alien races are very intelligent and like to think. They have a lot of things that only smart people can make. Weapons, armor. There are also magic scrolls. Even their clothes are so good-looking. What's more, they taste great. I like to eat them. ”

"I've been wondering why we can't go out into the world. and to be imprisoned in this cage. I think there must be a lot of demons who think the same way as me. They would rather fight for the person who summoned them, and would rather stay in the demonic space, like staying in a transparent bag and looking at that world. I don't want to come back. ”

"In the end, I decided that it was our instinct. We are a race that yearns for light. At this point, Banksar seemed to find it a little funny. There was a strange laugh.

"I remember, ever since I was a little devil. I like to stay at the entrance to the abyss and watch the hazy light coming through from the outside. After a long time, I saw many demons rushing past where I was hiding, rushing towards the gate. But those terrible prohibitions will turn these not-so-smart guys into a black cloud. ”

"Our instincts drive us upward. But the body makes us go down. It makes me feel bad. ”

As he spoke, Banksar spread his arms and spiked wings and spun around: "Later, when I was promoted to the sixth level demon, I found out about this place. Then. I came here to escape the storm of clouds. And then, as you know, I was captured by the magic circle and sent here.

I walked around the place and left through the passage that opened in the center.

It was a very boring experience, I survived here and got nothing. I don't know why, but I can't forget it. ”

"Later, I followed Master Sabonis. I remember that when I met him, he was only a level 10 demon. I thought I was strong. But with a little finger, Master Sabonis let me lie down for fifty years before I was healed. I asked the adults why they didn't eat me.

The adults said that he was not very hungry at the time.

And more importantly, he thinks I'm smart. Much like what he used to be. He needed to leave a clever demon to talk to him, not like a little fava bean in his mouth. My strength is too little for him.

I've heard a lot about the legend of Lord Sabonis.

It is said that 10,000 years ago, Lord Sabonis once led an army of demons out of the abyss. Back then, if it weren't for the desperate efforts of those guys in the outside world, if it weren't for the big guys at that time who were too cautious, the adults would have almost succeeded. But even if he was driven back to the abyss, his experience made him the greatest ruler in the history of the abyss. ”

"Now, Lord Sabonis has returned to the abyss and left us. Berganich, the filthy and ugly fellow, will replace Lord Sabonis as the new ruler of the Abyss. ”

"In the abyss, I, Banksal, am just a small person. It stands to reason that whoever becomes the ruler of the abyss will not pay much attention to my existence.

However, I am Lord Sabonis's personal guard, and I am the one he trusts the most......

Any idea what that means?

This means that Berganich will put us on his purges list and will not be long before he comes down to us. When the time comes, no one will stand up and speak for me. On the contrary, they will be happy to fall into the ground. ”

"If I die, you will die too. They will take my Black Mountain territory, take everything from me, and turn you into food in order to go further on the pyramid of demons. ”

Speaking of this, Banksal's face showed a hint of loneliness and nostalgia.

After a long time, he said slowly, "I knew this would happen, so I spent hundreds of years decorating this place—when I heard the story of Lord Sabonis, I knew that this place could replicate the miracles of my lord's time.

This place was built 6,000 years ago. It was a damn giant that was built by Lord Sabonis. The adults fought him several times, but no one could help anyone. Later, they were reluctant to fight any further, so they reached some kind of tacit understanding. Lord Sabonis acknowledges the existence of this magic tower. And the giant never challenged the authority of the adult.

Later, the giant died.

Before he died, he went to the bottom of the abyss to find Lord Sabonis. They drank a lot of wine and talked a lot.

So, when I mentioned it to adults one day. When I mentioned my plan, the expression on my face was strange. Originally, with my strength, it would have been impossible to complete this altar. Luckily, Lord Sabonis helped me. He thinks I can do what he couldn't do 10,000 years ago, and lead demons into the new world. ”

And that day has finally arrived. As long as we use the blood of these human beings to launch a blood sacrifice and open a passage, we will be able to fear the sun. Descend to the outside world. And once we're on our feet, those guys will be tempted. Even Berganich probably can't stand such temptation. ”

"So, I'll be the hero of the Demon Clan," Banksar's face showed a hint of fanaticism, "a pioneer who fulfills Lord Sabonis' wish and leads the demons to take over the outside world." And not like a poor worm. Dead under the filthy minions of Berganich and his doglegs. ”

Huge wings, more and more open. Gently shaking in the dark.

"Boom!"

Like Heying Banksar, thousands of demons let out a deafening roar.

And with the roar of the demon, the passage above the altar suddenly changed. At the entrance of the passage, the cross-shaped swirling crack suddenly turned into a slowly opening whirlpool. The diameter swelled to almost thirty meters. And the bulging light blob behind the entrance. It suddenly lit up at this moment.

In the next second, a terrifying pillar of light shot out.

This pillar of light passed through the void, like a giant dragon, straight up, through the three layers of hell. Dlunge headlong into the black gas that was sealed at the entrance to the abyss.

The abyss forbidden began to churn violently. It's like a pot of boiling oil being poured into a scoop of cold water.

The pillar of light was also trembling, constantly resisting the siege and erosion of the black qi, and slowly but resolutely advancing forward. I don't know how long it took, but finally, the pillar of light rushed out of the ground like a wild horse that had broken free from the mire, shooting into the sunny sky.

At the same time, a loud bang erupted in the underground garden. The vortex above the altar suddenly opened and turned into a red gate.

Seeing this gate, the demons became more and more crazy. They roared wildly, huddled forward, grinning and impatient. Even the eight eleventh-level demons around the altar were excited. They roared, baring the fangs in their mouths and waving their claws, their bodies rapidly expanding, and the terrifying aura kept climbing.

"The Blood Sacrifice Passage is open!" Banksar roared as he looked up to the sky, "Kill it." Go to our new world and let's bathe in blood in the sun!"

...............

Time, minute by minute.

When Roy walked up to the third floor under the gaze of the three bone dragons, in the distant sky, an empty demon ship with the logo of the Magic Guild was flying towards the south at a great speed. Dozens of griffin knights guarded the ship. The griffon's wings fluttered and cast huge shadows moving across the earth, and the occasional chirping resounded across the sky.

In Lulian, a large army of knights is galloping south. They swept past avoidant pedestrians like the wind. Iron armor and mounted spears reflected the sunlight, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a storm. Banners embroidered with tomahawk markings hunted and hunted at a gallop.

In the palace conference room, Edward frowned and stared at the map in front of him. All around, the nobles, ministers, and generals of the empire were arguing. The squires and royal knights walked back and forth, and every now and then a fast horse galloped out of the palace and hurried away.

In the gray and dilapidated garden, the mercenaries, covered in blood and scars, are fighting in groups of three or five, back to back, in the endless demon hordes. People kept falling, screaming and dying. The rest of the people were just fighting mechanically, and there was only more and more despair in their eyes.

And most importantly, at two o'clock in the afternoon on this day. A whirlpool has finally appeared above the entrance to the Lulian Abyss.

The valley was in chaos.

The horses neighed and marched in fear. More than 2,000 heavily armed knights formed a huge circle, each of them staring nervously at the ever-expanding vortex above the flat ground of the entrance, the palms of the weapons already covered with sweat.

On the small hill not far away, Adolf and many lords and generals looked solemn.

When you see this whirlpool, everyone knows it. The worst outcome in the imagination is no longer speculation, but really appears in front of us.

Soon, the vortex turned into a giant red light gate. A terrifying aura, centered on the Red Gate, spread endlessly. Although the demon has not yet been seen. But people seemed to have felt the shaking of the ground and heard the manic roar.

"Stabilize the formation!"

"Archer prepare!"

Seven or eight heralds rode their horses at high speed in front of the formation. In the ranks, the officers' orders came and went.

More than two hundred high-level archers with strength above the glory level occupied the high points around them, drew their feather arrows and put them on the bowstring, and stared at the light gate with their eyes. And at the rear of the knights' ranks, thousands of archers raised their bows diagonally to the sky, setting the angle.

The earth shook more and more violently, and the roar in the light gate grew louder and louder. The atmosphere is also becoming more and more tense.

Finally, everyone saw that the light gate suddenly lit up, and an eighth-level silver claw demon broke through a thin layer of red mist shrouded outside the door and rushed out first.

This level 8 Silver Claw Demon moves very quickly. Like a shooting star, it swooped towards the knights in front of it. There was no hesitation, no pause or observation, just incomparable fury and ferocity.

The three level 8 shooters at the front of the line shot almost simultaneously.

Three feathered arrows pierced the Silverclaw's body as fast as lightning, and the force of the impact made its massive body feel like it had crashed into an invisible wall. Flew out upside down.

And almost at the same time, the light gate shone one after another. Countless demons rushed out. They're running. Crowded together in a mess, it's like a mudslide rushing down a canyon!

"Shoot the arrows!"

With the officer's order, a dense chord sound sounded in the valley that made people's backs tingle. Countless feathered arrows soared into the air like locusts, swept through the air in a smooth black parabola, and fell into the charging demon horde.

Puff puff puff......

The sound of arrows piercing through the demon's body is like a lotus pond in a storm.

One by one, the demons fell in a rain of arrows. Some of them were shot through the chest. Some were shot through the lower abdomen, and some were simply nailed to the ground. Clusters of sparks erupted from their wounds, and they simply collapsed as a mass of burning lava.

But more demons are running wildly. The fallen companion next to them didn't seem to have the slightest effect on them, even if they were hit by arrows. As long as they didn't hit the vital parts, they only took a slight beating, and then they were very strong enough to keep up with the team again.

The black torrent and the scattered sparks formed a palpitating picture in the valley. Viewed from the air, the bursting firelight formed a red streamer. And underneath the streamer, a large area of black is smudged like ink.

The human army's bows and arrows only fired three rounds, and the forward of the demon army had already narrowed the distance between them and the first line of defense to within two hundred meters.

And in the back of the demon tide, more demons are still rushing out of the light gate. The sheer number of them has even led to local crowding outside the gates. Many demons couldn't wait for the front team to evacuate and instead charged to the other left and right flanks.

At this moment, everyone's hearts have sunk to the bottom.

This round of bow and arrow coverage is carefully designed after repeated planning. To this end, Fano drew all the archers in his army and filled them with every inch of the open space where the arrows could rain down at the entrance to the abyss. In order to ensure the density and strength of the arrow rain, and to give the demon who just came out a head-on blow.

From the perspective of the entire campaign, this is the time when the demons are most vulnerable, and this round of arrow rain will cause huge casualties to them. And they don't have any power to fight back other than being beaten passively.

Everyone pinned their hopes on the demon to be severely damaged at this stage, and it was best to press it back into that light door. However, in retrospect, this is just an unrealistic fantasy.

While demons kept falling, and demons were constantly being injured, the imaginary chaos and collapse did not appear.

These damned demons, with their far greater numbers and ferocity than expected, carried this rain of arrows hard. In front of them, the arrows of the rainstorm were nothing more than small sticks thrown into the flood, so sparse and insignificant.

Looking at the demon in front of him, the valley fell into a dead silence for a certain moment.

Neither the archers nor the knights with spears in their hands could hear anything. The demons swarming in front of them were like a mime, all they could hear was the neighing and gasping of their horses, and all they could hear was their own violent heartbeat.

And at this moment, Adolf's voice rang out.

"It seems that we still underestimate the difficulties we are facing. ”

In the magic amplification array, Adolf's voice was a little tired, a little hoarse, and sounded as if it was far away.

"This is the worst of times, three hundred years ago, we lost the land where we thrived, and we were driven here by the demons, and we survived. Three hundred years later, our mortal enemy has crossed the Broken Sky Mountain Range, intending to wipe us out......"

"In the north, countless people are dying. The flames of war have spread, to the east, to the west, to the south...... We are moving backwards every day. One day, we will be driven to the seashore, like a flock of lambs to the slaughter, with no escape. ”

People listened quietly. Listen to the louder and louder noise, in the shrill arrows breaking through the air, in the nearer and closer demonic footsteps and roars.

Adolf's voice, getting closer and closer, was in my ears.

"It's an end times. A world that heralds the end of our race. It is fate that allows us to be born in this era and not be able to choose. It was fate that made us stand here and put our children, our families, behind us. ”

"And now, even the Abyss Demon has arrived. In their eyes, we are just food for them. Can you imagine the last human being in a pool of blood, can you imagine our relatives being slaughtered like lambs?"

Adolf's voice echoed through the valley. His tone was not passionate, as calm as if he were telling a fact that everyone knew. I don't know why, at this moment, everyone only felt that their blood seemed to be ignited by something.

"Willingly? All I have is anger. ”

"I don't know how others will deal with this disaster. But as a knight, I have only one answer - we are born in this era, this era in which we can write our names in history. We stand on the edge of a cliff, but we are alive and have the strength to fight!"

"Yes, fight! 'til death!"

In the field of vision, the demon tide was getting closer and closer. The knights could already see their hideous faces, their long fangs, and even the smell of sulphur.

Adolf's voice grew louder and higher, and he jerked out his sword. The metallic sound of the scabbard rubbing against the blade of the sword made everyone feel only a burst of electricity crawling up their backs. At this moment, everyone saw him galloping down the hillside.

The trumpets sounded, and the rousing drums rang out, deafening.

Adolf's flag swept through the divided queues, from the densely packed helmets, like a firebird flying on the sea.

"Follow me!"

Adolf said to each knight he met. In the blink of an eye, he was at the front of the line. The warhorse man stood up, his sword pointing straight to the sky.

"Let's get these bitches back!"

At this moment, everyone's blood was completely ignited. The knights roared with all their might, urging their horses to gallop towards the demons.

The blood burned in the body, the wind whistled in the ears, the light of the war ring shone brighter than the sun, and the iron hooves of the war horse tomped over the dirt and shook the earth. The armor of steel reflected a hard, cold light. The riding spear held high is like a steel forest piercing the sky.

The two torrents are getting closer and closer. 100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters......

"Flat guns!"

With the officer's command, the knights in the gallop neatly laid down their riding guns.

"Kill!"

The last gap in the earth was filled by the torrent, and a loud bang burst from the center of the collision. Countless demons, countless knights, in this unfancy confrontation, people turned on their backs, stumps and severed arms flew into the sky, and the neighing and angry roars of war horses resounded through the heavens and the earth...... (To be continued.) )
