Thanatos, the Scarlet Castle.

It's one of the darkest castles in the world, and unlike the rest of the glittering main castles, there are only closed, dusty windows, broken curtains and long-uncleaned rat droppings in the corners.

The castle has not been cleaned for many years. Pushing open the door, you are greeted by the turbid air and the dust floating in the air.

It's noon, but once you enter the castle, you find that it's like night, and it seems that the owner of the castle doesn't like to be in the light.

"Your Majesty, news has just arrived from the spies investigating in Serdia... Thorox is gathering troops and gathering food and grass to prepare to go south to capture Ironrock City..."Alpha, dressed in black armor, knelt down on one knee, erected the Plague Sword with one hand, and gave a military salute.

The recipient sat on the throne in a black robe, and a thick black mist obscured his face. In front of him was a quaint long table, on which was a map made of sheepskin, on which the coordinates of each region of Tansfogg were marked and the military forces to which they belonged.

This man is the "Mystery Man", the monarch of Tanatos and the mastermind behind the coup d'état of Noze. His true body has never appeared in the world, he has no wife, no concubines, no heirs, no one knows his appearance, no, to be precise, everyone who knows his identity has returned to the Dark Realm, and the only ones who can enter the Scarlet Castle are the Six Swordsmen.

"The anklets that imprison the tiger no longer exist, and if you capture Ironrock City, you can master the spar resources of Tansforg, and once you master the spar resources, you can attract mercenaries from the Black Forest, and even neutral bandits in the wilderness to flank and harass Tanatos... And geographically, Iron Rock City is about the same distance from Thanatos and Noze..."The black-robed man played with a chess piece in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

As early as the First Age, the War Emperor Thorox took advantage of his army and captured Thanatos and Nozer before Silver Shield City could react. So even if the strength of the Six Swordsmen still exists now, this is a national war after all, and it is more about strategy and stratagem than personal ability. Once the main city of Tanatos suffers from Thorox's "blitzkrieg", the surrounding villages and towns will also be looted, but to disperse the Six Swordsmen to protect the border, then the defense line of the main city will become extremely fragile, and the ally Nozer is already a warrior with only a broken arm, and he has long been too busy to take care of himself, if Thorox continues to wave his army south to attack Nozer at this time, then Nozer will become a trophy to be handed over, and the Nozer coup will become meaningless...

"Maybe it's a good idea to take advantage of Sorox going south and turn to besiege Serdia, and let his backyard catch fire... By the way, can you still get in touch with the chess pieces planted in Cerdia?" the black-robed man then asked.

"It's been months since I lost contact, Your Majesty... It seems like all of them lost contact overnight..."

"Have you been discovered... I have been carefully arranging it for decades, and I ended up lifting a stone and hitting myself in the foot!" the black-robed man was obviously a little angry, and slammed the table, revealing the black ring on the finger of his right hand. The revival of the Northern Emperor has become the biggest failure of his life.

"Your Majesty... Are we going to take Ironrock before Thorox does?" Alpha suggested.

"Take it? No, don't rush it, even if Iron Rock City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but you remember, when a city is just taken during the war, you may wake up the next day and see your head fall to the ground! Military Seals... Cerdia's military seal and my remaining forbidden spell can't control Thorox, I'm afraid that his strength after recovery is immeasurable..."

"Perhaps there is another reason for Thorox's uncontrollability, Your Majesty. Another swordsman stepped out of the darkness and said respectfully with a military salute. The Visitor wears a clown mask on his face - this man is none other than one of the Six Swords, the wielder of the Sword of Destiny.

Say. The black-robed man was quite dissatisfied with the clown's behavior. Among the six swords, the clown was the most dismissive of military discipline, and he didn't even make a sound when he appeared just now.

"Thorox's soul is mixed with the aura of the Dark Realm, and although it is well hidden, it still does not escape my perception. The clown looked up at the black-robed man, who had a mask of a hippie smile on his face, "It's this power that has remastered the resurrected Thorox, and it's a far prioritization over the military seal and the forbidden spell. ”

"Stained with the aura of the Dark Realm...", the black-robed man thought for a moment, "The moment the soul of Mo Fei Solox was revived, a new spell was secretly cast by a certain strong man... And this strong man is also from the dark realm..."Suddenly, there is another threat from the outside world, and what is even more terrifying is that the identity and purpose of this enemy are still unknown!

"In fact, it is not difficult to guess from this power, looking at the human realm and the dark realm, such cross-border manipulation techniques can be performed, and the recipient is a figure like the Northern Emperor, and only one person can do it. The clown said unhurriedly, "That's the Dark Lord, Ezeisius." ”

"Ezeisius!" the black-robed man was taken aback, he knew who Ezeius was, and he knew more about Ezeiseus's past than the clown.

Now he wants to redefine the purpose and meaning of this war, and if Thorox plunges the whole of Tansforg into endless flames, then the real hellfire will sweep over and consume the whole world!
