A month later.

Southern Continent.

It is a continent almost made of desert, with undulating sand dunes stretching from the easternmost point of the continent to the westernmost point, illuminated by blazing sunlight all day long, and only in estuarine deltas, along rivers, and in the oases dotted with dots of human civilization.

For hundreds of millennia, the desert kingdoms of the southern continent have waged wars with each other around oases and rivers, competing for water, population, and resources.

Under the long yellow sand, there are many white bones buried by thousands of years of fighting each other.

However, with the news coming out of the Ujisai Kingdom in the northwest of the Southern Continent, most of the Desert Kingdoms have stopped the wars that are taking place or are about to take place.

The demons that have been suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years are about to invade the Overworld.

At first, most of the desert kingdoms did not believe this news, after all, the oases that the kingdoms relied on for survival in the past hundred years have gradually shrunk, and the rivers that used to run have been drying up more and more, which may be a conspiracy of the Ugisai kingdom to obtain the few remaining water sources.

However, as the Kingdom of Ujisai took the initiative to invite many Desert Kingdoms to discuss this matter, the other Desert Kingdoms sent representatives to participate in the discussion with the mentality of seeing what trick you wanted to play.

However, to their shock, one of the princes of the Kingdom of Ugisai presented a lot of conclusive evidence at the meeting.

The demons are indeed going to invade, and the first stop of the invasion is the southern continent where they are located!

The news spread across the continent as the desert winds spread.

All the desert kingdoms were in an uproar.

The Northern Continent, the Eastern Continent, and the Western Continent had already known about this, and the top forces such as elves, goblins, human empires, and Dragon Island had already begun to mobilize for war, and they didn't know until now!

Panic rises.

Countless desert nobles chose to drag their families away, scrambling to get on the boats and carriages that left the southern continent, leaving this land protected by the spirit of the sand sky.

But there are also many desert nobles who are unwilling to give up their inheritance, choosing to stay, and spend their wealth to train their armies.

In just a few weeks, the desert kingdoms, which were originally quite united, suddenly split into several pieces, and the internal divisions were extremely great.

Hold on, hesitate, or flee.

Many desert kingdoms, especially the royal family, became anxious when they saw that so many people wanted to escape, and ordered that no one should be allowed to leave, leaving them all behind to resist the demons.

Blood stained the sand again, but this time, it was the blood of their own people.

The kingdom of Ugisai was similarly caught up in this great division.

However, the royal family was quite sensible, and did not use coercive means to prevent the people from leaving, but continued to persuade them, but in the face of the threat posed by the terrible demons, the port of Arisha, which borders the middle ocean of the Southland, was still crowded with ships and people who wanted to escape.

In the conference hall of the Royal Palace.

King Ugisai and the rest of the royal family were all sad.

"Father, we can't let those people go anymore! The people are gone, so who is left to resist the demons? ”

An eldest prince with a white turban on his head and jeweled rings on his ten fingers said in a hurried tone.

"Now it's not just the civilians who are leaving, but even some of the soldiers are mixed in the boat and leave, and just yesterday the four soldiers of the city defense hundred-man squad are gone."

"But we can't stop it."

"There's no way out, just like other desert countries, directly block the border with the army and let everyone prepare for war!" The eldest prince said in a fierce tone, "Issue a temporary decree, and whoever dares to escape at this time will be beheaded!" ”

The aged king frowned and remained silent.

Yali looked at his father, shook his head, and said, "In this case, it will undoubtedly push this country into the abyss, and before the war starts, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will have been scattered." ”

The eldest prince said disdainfully: "The kingdom is almost gone, can you still take care of these?" Yari, you are still so indecisive, you are usually good in any way, and it is good to establish an image of being close to the people, but in troubled times, you still don't understand the truth that you should use the re-canon!? ”

After saying that, ignoring the dumb Yari, the eldest prince saluted the aged king and said, "Father, please give the order for the whole country to enter the blockade, and call on all forces to resist the demons!" ”

Looking at the eldest prince with a resolute expression, the king's face gradually faltered, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a hoarse voice: "Just do what Mijat said." ”

Ari clutched his forehead in disappointment, but he understood that it might not be the best thing to do, but it was the most appropriate option for now.

The meeting dispersed.

Ari walked out of the hall, looked beyond the walls of the royal city, stepped over the trees of the oasis, looked at the vast yellow sand, and suddenly heard a cold snort behind him.

"Yari, it seems that you didn't seem to have made much progress after going to the Northern Continent, and you lost your boat and took someone else's boat to get back." The eldest prince Mijat walked over with a bit of mockery on his face, "According to your indecisive performance just now, you can't become a qualified prince at all, let alone inherit the throne." ”

Yari's face sank, "It's none of your business. ”

Mijat is his half-brother, which was not the case with each other, and when they were younger, they did not share the same mother, but they had a better relationship than brothers.

But at what point did it suddenly become like this?

Probably when his father said that the throne would no longer be inherited by the eldest son, but would be inherited from among many princes.

The gentle brother who had always loved him suddenly changed as a person, as if he had taken off his mask, he became unsightly, he became eager for quick success, and he became radical and ruthless.

It's like being possessed by some evil.

He was no longer gentle with him, but regarded him as an enemy.

He had previously taken the initiative to invite him to the Northern Continent, and it was not without the idea of taking credit for this to compete for the throne.

But he has experienced so many things along the way and seen the outside world, although there are so many bitter and bitter things in it, but it has also allowed him to jump out of this small kingdom and see countless wonderful things.

I have long lost my desire for the throne.

To be a human being, of course, is to be like His Excellency Ji Chen, with strong force, to lead an army outside, and to crusade against evil!

Seeing that Yari didn't refute, Mijat shook his head as if he was very disappointed, "Sure enough, you are still the same as before, you are still so cowardly, you don't even dare to refute, I really don't understand why so many people are willing to follow you." ”

"But it's a pity that they all died in a foreign land because of your stupidity, and they can't even return to their hometown."

As if hitting a sensitive spot, Ari's eyes widened with rage.

Ignoring his anger, Mijat continued: "Am I wrong about what I said? There are a hundred servants and guards on the ship, and only a few can follow you back intact, and the rest will either die at sea or die at the mouth of the beast. ”

"I heard you're trying to find the elves looking for a way to curb the expansion of the desert? The idea is good, but it's too ideal, how can those elves with eyes above the top take you to heart?

Oh yes, I heard that the money you earned back in the elf's small restaurant really threw you into the face of the kingdom of Usel."

"Enough!" Ari said angrily, "My trip is not meaningless, at least I still want to solve the problem and bring back the news of the demonic invasion, and you are indifferent, intriguing in this little court, plotting your intrigues for the throne!" ”

Mijat's face changed slightly, and his eyes became fierce, like a desert lion about to become angry, which made Ari subconsciously shrink his head.

Mijat looked at Yari deeply, "Then why don't you go to the Northern Continent to do your Spring and Autumn Dream again like before?" After all, your face is good-looking, and you may be able to win the favor of the nobles. ”

Ari clenched his fists, anger written all over his face, and just as he was about to refute, something suddenly came to mind.

"What did you say?"

Mijat looked at Yari, who was angry at first and then suddenly stopped, and frowned.

"Anyway, you've already been there once, and if you're familiar with the road, you can at least be a coward and steal a living"

"That's right, go again!"

Ari's expression became excited, and his eyes were burning with light, "I'm going to the crown of the ocean again!" Looking for the help of His Excellency Ji Chen!! ”

Mijat looked at Ari like a fool and ran towards the outside of the palace, and the whole person was stunned.

But soon, a flash of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Go, go as far as possible."

After another month, all aspects have been prepared.

There are a total of four hundred and fifty-eight registered dragons on Dragon Island, and all of them have come to the crown of the ocean at this time, more precisely, it should be four hundred and sixty-two, because the three legendary-level dragon powerhouses and the golden dragon Barbatos are not on the list.

This time, it was only because of Ji Chen's astonishing hiring scale and the importance of the demon invasion that he joined the mercenary formation.

Stockpiled food filled the underground warehouse, and ammunition filled every inch of the kobold's cave.

On the coastline of the main island, a towering mountain-like wall surrounds the entire island, with dense towers above and behind the wall, and behind the battlements are placed a series of turrets and enchanted alchemy crossbows.

Behind the city wall, on the air defense positions, a large number of air defense alchemy artillery and air defense spell batteries pointed to the sky like inverted green onions, and their density even the dragon had to weigh a few points.

It can be said that now the crown of the ocean is like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and it is intimidating.

this day.

Ji Chen, who was standing on the city wall, suddenly raised his head with a sense of understanding, looked at the horizon in the distance, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the space and project to the southern sea area that was out of reach of the naked eye.

In more than a dozen places on the bottom of the sea in the southern sea, the originally calm sea water suddenly boiled violently, and one by one a black crack that seemed to come from the abyss slowly opened like the mouth of a giant beast, and countless foul-smelling and evil black water gushed out, and the surrounding sea water was instantly blackened, and quickly spread towards the surroundings.

In the black water, demons with fangs and claws rushed out.

Deep Sea Demons, Water Demons, Half-Beast Demons, Tentacle Demons

Countless demons have cultivated for the marine environment, and the sea battle demons have rushed out like a black torrent, exterminating all living beings and polluting the environment wherever they go.

At the same time.

In the southern continent covered with yellow sand.

The sky and the ground cracked dozens of huge black cracks.

A black mist of substance rushed out, staining the sky in darkness, and the scorching sun was completely obscured, and the sky and earth were plunged into black and red.

Countless demons lined up in a neat military formation, slowly stepping onto the yellow sand.

In those blood-red eyes full of chaos, tyranny, and evil, they looked at this new world and breathed fresh air completely different from the abyss of chaos.

His face grew with excitement and greed.

They're back!

This time, vow to take revenge on all the forces of order, and let them know who is the master of this world!

The rule barrier is penetrated.

The entire Overworld fluctuated violently, the sky was dim, and even fine cracks appeared, and the elemental energy was disordered.

This anomaly was noticed by all the forces, and a thought came to mind.

Devil, here!

Those evil alliance forces also saw such a vision, and they were extremely excited.

The demons have finally arrived, and if it is any later, they will all be killed by the forces of order and those glorious lords!

For a while, a large-scale riot suddenly broke out among many evil forces, and according to the original agreement with the demons, the energy of the orderly camp was involved, and time was bought for the demons to gain a foothold in the main world.

And the forces of the orderly camp are not vegetarians, knowing their intentions in advance, they have made sufficient preparations, and a heavily armed army has begun to suppress and suppress it.

The desert nations on the southern continent were closest to the cracks of the demonic invasion, and even between the two rift groups, the tremors felt were the deepest.

A medium-sized oasis in the southern part of the Southern Continent, a small town called Cosette, they watched a hundred-meter-long crack suddenly appear less than a kilometer away from the town.

Everyone is confused.

Due to their remote location, they didn't even know about the demonic invasion.

The pot-bellied mayor was escorted by the guards to the low earthen wall of the town, and looked at the crack that emitted a black mist, his chubby face full of doubt.

Whispered to the guard next to him.

"Do you know what this thing is?"

The guard shook his head, he didn't know what it was, but it didn't seem like a good thing.

But then one of the guards said, "Mayor Mare, this may be the entrance to the secret realms, and it is rumored that those secret realms contain countless riches and treasures!" ”

The mayor's face was happy, treasure?

He loves treasure the most!

He immediately said loudly to the townspeople.

"This crack appears near my territory, it is naturally my property, and none of you are allowed to approach and enter, do you hear it!"

The townsfolk all cowered and nodded.

The mayor was pleased with the reaction of the untouchables, and was about to instruct the guards to organize an exploration of the secret realm and obtain the treasure.

The crack suddenly wriggled, and a large black mass flew out.

Mayor Mare's eyes widened when he saw the black objects clearly.

With fear written on his face, he subconsciously pushed away the guards around him and ran towards the town.

However, his run attracted attention, and the black objects swooped down, with a terrible sound, and the sharp claws pierced directly through the fat body, tearing it in two.

That's when the townspeople saw what it was.

It's a two-horned monster with a blue face and fangs and wings on its back!

The first group of Winged Demons who had left the gap screamed excitedly and swooped down when they saw the town below.

Fresh flesh and blood!
