The swirling dark clouds in the sky were gradually dissipating, and the black demonic aura around the altar was gradually thinning.

Sixteen huge chains of Thorsilver were little by little put into the magic pockets of several great magicians.

As they stepped down from the altar, they simply nodded to Surdak, and then walked out into the square to tidy up the magic rune boards, and a group of magicians came out of the buildings around the square to help.

All that remained of the demon body on the altar was a little bit of ash, and even that little ash had been collected by Archmage Morrison into a crystal bottle.

The two archmages, Morrison and Harper, led Surdak down the altar.

Immediately, a group of magicians carried oil drums and poured fire oil around the altar, and more than a dozen barrels of fire oil poured all the dried corpses around the altar in a row.

These dried corpses have long since lost all their moisture, and a little spark can burn up, and after sloping these fire oils, the four magicians stood in the four corners of the altar, and the tips of their fingers lit up a cluster of small flames that kept jumping, and with a flick of their fingers, the fire fell on the corpses in the corners of the altar.

The flames instantly rose to a height of one meter, and the fire spread rapidly, and soon a large number of dried corpses were enveloped in flames.

The heat spread rapidly, and no one could stand within ten meters of the altar, and the dried corpses were constantly twisted and deformed under the heat of the heat, and some hissing sounds were made.

Smoke billowed from the altar, and the pillar of smoke was tilted a little by the north wind.

"Fortunately, the Holy Light can purify the demonic qi, otherwise we will encounter a lot of trouble this time!"

Archmage Morrison exhaled a long breath and whispered to Archmage Harper beside him.

He seemed to be in a good mood.

In the past few days, Archmage Morrison has been taking turns with the other nine second-turn archmages to suppress this demon body on the altar, this boring life has seriously affected his mood, perhaps due to the influence of the black demonic energy, he has already bred a lot of negative emotions in his heart.

A person is afraid that he will always think about bad things, and the more he always does this, the easier it is to fall into a certain emotional struggle and not be able to come out, and he knows that the rest of the archmages are actually in this situation.

Luckily, Surdak and Archmage Harper arrived just in time.

And they didn't care about anything else when they arrived in Acretown, and went directly to the altar to deal with this matter, which made Archmage Morrison even more satisfied.

Archmage Harper was a little shorter and more upright, so he complained unscrupulously:

"So, it was Lady Liberty who abandoned the Grimm Empire, but the Light is always there."

Almost everyone in the empire knows about Lady Liberty's abandonment of the Grimm Empire.

But because of the large number of Lady Liberty believers in the Green Empire, no one dared to speak like this.

"Harper, we're magicians, and it's not a good time to talk about these Min. Sense of the topic,"

Archmage Morrison usually pays more attention to his words, after all, as the head of the law enforcement team, he doesn't want this to reach the ears of Lady Liberty believers.

"That's right, Duck!" Archmage Morrison said: "There may be similar situations in the future, but after all, you are the supreme commander of the Bena Alliance, and it is impossible for you to leave the barracks casually, so when we need your help, we will use this method, all the troubles are dealt with, and we only need you to come and purify the rest of the Demon King's limbs." ”

Archmage Morrison paused for a moment, and then said, "Next, you still follow your pace to recover the entire Sayroman Plateau, if you need anything, just say it." ”

"Okay, Archmage Morrison." Surdak hurriedly agreed.

"Next, Harper and I will take the mage group and the remaining constructed swordsmen from Acretown into the Great Snow Mountain to support Quintas and Chester, and you will stay here to wait for our news."

Archmage Morrison finally added: "When the situation on the Sayroman Plateau stabilizes, we will plan our next move." ”

"Okay."

Surdak agreed.

The altar behind him was completely ablaze, and the nearby Constructed Swordsmen also stood up from the rooftops and terraces.

A group of magicians also appeared in the sky above the square in Acretown.

……

Under Surdak's orders, the hoplite regiment fighters outside Acre entered the town and began to clear the town of Hellhounds and Cryptmen, following the same method of street sweeping as Samp Town.

Acre is also a town with a population of 150,000, and the town is neatly divided into four districts.

Entering the central area of the town, you can feel its original prosperity everywhere, the walls of the buildings on both sides of the street are beautifully decorated, and the fancy doors and windows with the unique style of the dry cloth plane can be seen everywhere in this small town at the foot of the mountain.

The door on the first floor of the town hall was open, and a large pool of blood could be seen on the steps.

Surdak walked into the town hall and walked around the basement before going to the second floor.

There was also a strange smell in the hallway, and some blood stains could be seen on the walls, some of which were splashed not only on the walls, but even on the ceiling.

Surdak and a group of infantry soldiers carefully inspected all the corners of the town hall, and then people began to clean up the town hall, which was to be used as a temporary command post for the heavy infantry regiment.

Standing on the rooftop terrace of the town hall, Surdak was looking out over the western block of Acretown, and could see the corpse of a hellhound hanging from the fence.

A magician came up from the top of the stairs and whispered to Surdak, "Commander Surdak, Mr. Morrison said that you might be interested in this transcript, let me send it to you!" ”

The magician handed Surdak a parchment scroll to Surdak and bowed before hurrying away.

Surdak walked back to the office he had chosen and sat down on the soft couch.

There were still some messy parchments scattered in the corner of the room at this time, and even the inkwell on the table had not had time to be closed, and the ink inside had already dried up, and the pen had been lying on the table, which showed how panicked the official should have been when he left this office.

When I opened the scroll, I realized that it was actually a scroll of interrogation records.

The reel states:

'The Constructed Swordsmen and the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Regiment attacked Acre and captured two Dark Mages.

However, the two black magicians are now dead in the torture chamber, and the exact cause of death is unknown. ’

Many dark mages are willing to give a portion of their souls to demons in exchange for greater power from them.

But if the soul falls into the hands of the demon, there is also a very big drawback, you can't reveal any of the demon's secrets, and once you reveal the secret about the demon, you will suffer a magical curse.

The entire interrogation process is recorded in detail on this magic scroll.

The dossier describes how the Dark Mages forced the townsfolk to sign a symbiotic pact with the Hellhounds.

If humans want to transform into demonic minions, they need to sign a symbiotic contract.

The most important thing about this kind of magic contract with Cerberus as the dominant party is that both parties need to be voluntary, and no matter who has resistance in their hearts, there is no possibility of signing a magic contract.

Surdak has never been able to figure out how the townspeople have fallen. Those who have become demonic servants are clearly unable to succeed as long as there is a trace of resistance in their hearts.

The scroll reads:

(The place where the symbiosis contract is signed is like a decapitator, a hellhound will crouch on the opposite side of the decapitator, the residents captured from the town will kneel on the decapitation table, I will stand next to the decapitator with a magic scroll, and everyone who will be escorted will ask:

'Are you willing to be a loyal servant of the Lord of Pain, the artist of the Hell World, Duriel, and if you are willing to give in, sign a symbiotic pact with the hellhound in front of you......

A lot of people will yell at me: 'Get out of here, you disgusting mad dog!' ’

But whoever scolds me will have their heads bitten off by the hellhounds.

Then the body is dragged out and fed to those hellhounds, which becomes their rations.

Later, the spectators will continue to be dragged to the beheading table, and the ceremony will continue for a long time, and the more people killed, the easier it will be for the psychological defenses of the people behind them to completely collapse in the face of this cruel punishment, and become the contract partner of the hellhound. ）

(Q: Why did you create these demonic minions?) In terms of combat power, they are not even comparable to those cryptmen. ）

(A: Originally, we couldn't give complicated instructions to these stupid hellhounds because they couldn't figure out what we needed them to do, but with these demonic minions, we could communicate freely with the hellhounds and have better control over them.) ）

(Question: The three-headed hellhounds also crawled out of the demon's gate?) ）

(Answer: How is it possible, that demon gate can at most allow low-level demons whose strength is equal to that of first-level demonic beasts to pass through, but the hellhound will evolve if it eats too many people, and the first hellhound that evolved the third head is called Bassa Muller, it is purely cannibalistic and eats too much.) ）

Surdak remembered the King of Hellhound, whose leather was still contained in a sealed chest in the Lava Mine.

Seeing the records behind this scroll, Surdak understood the whole thing.

In fact, the black mages have been operating in the dry cloth plane for many years, and it can even be said that Lord McDonnell's rebellion against the province of Bena was also instigated by these dark mages in the middle.

The main purpose is to convince Lord McDonnell to destroy the portal and sever ties with the province of Benault, so that the dark mages can open the demon's gate, let the low-level demons enter the Dry Cloth Plane, and hide in the snowy mountains.

Only when they had enough numerical superiority did these low-level demons capture Acre Town under the leadership of the Dark Mage.

Of course, the main purpose of conquering Acre Town at that time was also because a corpse of the Demon King that had been divided into six parts was actually hidden in the belly of the crypt man and was taken to the dry cloth plane.

In order to resurrect the Demon King, the Dark Mages captured the town of Acre, with a population of about 150,000, and built a life-changing altar.

It was this Demon King who completely interrupted the Dark Mage's plan to train the Hellhound King and the Crypt Lord, and in order to be able to collect more lives, he cultivated a large number of demon minions, and then drove the Hellhound and the Cryptmen to occupy the eastern part of the Sayroman Plateau.

It was also during this time that a named Cryptlord appeared in the Cryptmen Legion, named Dogearns.

At the same time, a king of Hellhounds was born in the Hellhound Legion, whose name was Barthamule.

The two of them led a large army to engage in a battle with Lord MacDonnell's First Legion in the western part of the Sayroman Plateau.

Barthamuler, the king of hellhounds, showed great military prowess on the battlefield and won the trust of the Crypt Lord Dorengels, and the MacDonnell First Legion suffered defeat on the battlefield and fled back to the city of Mucuso.

The demon army has captured Sayroman.

Originally, according to the plan of the dark mages, it was planned that after the development of the Sayroman Plateau for a period of time, and after the team of the Hell Demon Clan grew, the Demon King could truly descend on the Ganbu Plane and take the city of Mukuso in one fell swoop.

However, the head of the Demon King, who had not been restless, had fully regained its strength on the altar, and he couldn't wait to take possession of the body of a knight in disguise, mixed with Lord Macdonnell's army, and successfully infiltrated the city of Mukuso......

The Demon King was worried that the McDonnell family would eventually open the portal and put the Bednar Legion into the dry cloth plane, and only those magicians could rebuild the portal, so this impulsive Demon King directly slaughtered the magic union in Mukuso City, but unfortunately the last step was to put himself in, and in the exhibition room where the space collapsed, the occupied body was torn to pieces by the space storm, and only the head on the demon body remained.

Probably summoned by the Demon King, the Crypt Lord Dogens and the Hellhound King Bassa Muller completely ignored the dissuasion of the dark mages and gathered 300,000 low-level demons to attack Mukuso City.

The First Legion was routed and fled back to the city of Mukuso......

The rest of Surdak is very clear, Adler. McDonnell abandoned the city in a pinch, and then led his own heavy infantry legion to hold on to the city of Mukuso for five days, and finally succeeded in repairing the portal of Mukuso and resisting the army of hell demons.

Surdak closed the file and closed his eyes, and it was only then that he deeply felt that there seemed to be only a thin line between success and failure......

If the Cryptman Legion had occupied Mukuso City at that time and released the head of the Demon King in the Magic Tower, I am afraid that the current war would be a different situation, and it would definitely not be like now, with the four armies marching together on the Sayroman Plateau to sweep away the remnants of the Demon Army.

Surdak sat up from the couch, retied the sheepskin scroll in his hand, and pinched his somewhat astringent eyes.

By the time he left the town hall in Acre, it was almost dark.

This time he rushed to Acre Town, and did not experience any fighting, so Surdak did not need to carry out post-war medical treatment, and the commanders of each infantry regiment slipped and cleaned up the town, and he did not need to run over to point fingers, but suddenly became idle.

Returning to the tent, Surdak passed through the Void Gate......
