"What did you say?!" the old and dignified king rose from his throne and stared at the knights who had arrived to take the order. Then the king regained his composure, and in a deep voice he confronted the knights under the throne: "Is the news reliable?"

"It's true!" the loyal knight, still gasping, knelt down on one knee and lowered his head, "The Demon King led the Demon Clan to appear outside the fortress, and was witnessed by many soldiers on the quagmire border, and even one officer was wounded as a result!"

"And then, how is the movement of the demon side?"

"Yes! As recounted by an eyewitness, the Demon King smashed through the fortress we had built with one punch, and then retreated with the rest of the Demon Clan!"

The hall was enveloped in a terrible silence, and the old king slowly sat back on his throne.

"I see, stand down. ”

"Yes!" the knight straightened up and slowly withdrew from the temple.

The power to be able to break through the fortress with one punch can already be confirmed to be the Demon King. Even the Demon Duke [Six-Bladed General], who was only one level lower than the Demon King, would not have such a strong strength.

There are so many things that make people wonder. Why did the Demon King come to the border fortress in person? Why did the Demon King only bring a few minions-level demons? Why didn't the Demon King make the next move after breaking through the fortress? The deeper question that makes people wonder is, why did the Demon King recover again after only 20 years?

The old king remembered that thirty years earlier, he had taken over from his older king, and that he was in the prime of life determined to build a glorious kingdom in which his people could live and work in peace. At that time, he was full of ambition and made great economic construction in just ten years, even if he looked at the emperors of the past dynasties, it was enough to make himself a "virtuous king" by later generations.

Then the Demon King awakened, and his soldiers were like knives.

The wealth accumulated in ten years will be squandered, and the huge amount of military affairs will stain his hair with white frost, which will kill his ambitions, and it will take a huge effort to defeat the demon king and drive the invading demon clan back to the eastern continent. It was the most difficult of times, a brutal time of blood and darkness, a nightmare for all human races.

However, this nightmare has come back after twenty years, breaking the century-old rule.

It felt like a human being suddenly asked to play a game of sparring, completely ignorant of the rules, and suffering a terrible blow at the beginning. Then the human **** wounded, slowly mastered the rules, and finally was able to fight with the murderous opponent on the opposite side. The gods suddenly change the rules of the game, and only tell the human opponent but not the human.

This feeling is the feeling of being abandoned by the gods.

"O goddess of Gadia...... Have you really abandoned your people......" The king muttered in an inaudible voice with his back to his throne.

After a long silence, a figure suddenly stood up and broke the silence, and the king squinted at it, and saw that it was the prime minister, who was as old as himself. He has been his friend since he was a child, and after he came to power, he promoted him, and he slowly climbed to the position of prime minister by his own strength and wisdom. In the twenty years of the Demon King War, he was as conscientious as himself and resisted the crazy attack of the Demon Clan. It can be said that he is one of the few henchmen of the emperor.

"Your Majesty," the Prime Minister bowed respectfully, "According to the intelligence, the news of the Demon King's awakening is undoubted. Well, there's one thing we're going to do first. ”

“...... Oh, yes. The king closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he had cleared the gloom from his eyes, and straightened his back, as if youthful vitality had regained his old body.

Since he is the king of a country, he cannot continue to be decadent like this, and he is the hope of thousands of people, so he must set an example first.

"That's right, now that the Demon King has awakened, it's clear what we're going to do first. The king looked directly at the prime minister with his glittering eyes, "Go, sir, and let us summon the brave." ”

As if avoiding the king's sharp edge and unable to look the king in the eyes, the prime minister still bent down and replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

Then two old men with gray hair and high spirits walked side by side. Just like two soldiers who are about to die, they rise to the last vitality and rush to the last war.

The continent of Gadia has a magical power called magic.

Theoretically, everyone has more or less magical powers and has the opportunity to learn magic. Therefore, the so-called "first-order magic" is also known as civilian magic, and anyone with a little talent for magic can practice it, so it provides a lot of convenience for daily life. But many civilians are unable to practice magic at the next level.

There are eight levels of magic, and the difficulty of each level increases exponentially. If there are 50 people who can practice magic in the first order of magic, there are 1 in 100 people who can practice 2nd order magic. Therefore, those who can independently perform third-order magic are the best among the human race, and those who can independently perform fourth-order magic can be called great magicians, and they are palace mages who can be recruited by various countries. The magic of the remaining classes is almost impossible to complete independently, and requires the cooperation of as many as many skilled magicians, and the more people and the more harmonious the cooperation, the higher the number of magic classes that can be completed. However, manpower is sometimes poor, no matter how many people there are, no matter how accurate the cooperation, the magic class will reach the top at the seventh level. In the long history, only by gathering the best magicians of the human race, and with the brave people who are very good at the field of magic, can they perform the highest level of eighth-order magic, which is still the highest point that can be reached.

However, it is not that there is no ninth-order magic, and only the highest level of power of the human race can know about it. There have only been two launches in history, one during the first Brave and the other during the Seventh Brave. In these two hundred years of war, the brave man failed to return to his hometown. The initiator is unknown, the cause is unknown, the effect is unknown, but it is just as powerful.

The first created the extremely cold zone in the northern part of the Eastern Continent, which still snows all year round, and the second created a huge inland lake in the middle of the Eastern Continent, which by this time has branched out into the sea to form its own ecosystem. People who know the facts have a deep fear of this power, so they invariably choose to remain silent. The ninth-order magic is powerful enough to change the landscape, so it is also known as the forbidden spell and the world-destroying magic, and in the process of launching twice, the brave and the demon king died together, but the humans and the demons did not stop the war, which is showing the endless battle of fate between people and demons.

The world is so big.
