The holy city of Estali, the attic of a certain mansion of a magician.

Where is the crisis that the lord of wealth once warned about? Lin felt that this question had already been answered. And this answer should also be something that I have thought of for a long time, but has been ignored.

What are the restrictions on the two World Tree Ancients who are attacking to the next level? From the perspective of the big picture, that series of coincidences is the biggest problem.

The World Tree connects up to eight Alternate Worlds, has eight powers in the Lost Land, and has eight fixed passages between the Lost Land and the Abyss, known as the Abyss Gate. And these eight passages are also guarded by corresponding guardians, so that the two sides cannot travel freely.

Since it is necessary to help the World Tree connect to the ninth, or even the tenth heterogeneous world in the future, and achieve a higher outcome, someone is pushing for the Ninth Power Project. It is hoped that the birth of the Ninth Power will break through the original limitations of the Lost Land.

And this plan is also supported by the ethereal will of the delusional earth. The greatest evidence of this is the attitude of the Guardian.

Under normal circumstances, if there were really people who dared to make a big fuss, they would have been slapped into meatloaf a long time ago, and they would have died so much that they couldn't die anymore.

However, someone is still jumping around, and even dares to dance in front of the Lord of Guardians, definitely not because someone's strength is high enough to make the elder helpless. The only reason was that Apollus was behind her backing to stop her.

Then as long as the land is obsessed, the ninth power is born. Then the World Trees will theoretically be able to smoothly open the connecting channel of the ninth heterotopic world, so that their own strength can be improved to a large level.

Correspondingly, the appearance of the ninth fixed passage connecting the abyss is a very reasonable thing.

……

Oh, yes. It's so reasonable! Someone thought to himself.

In line with the traditional virtues from the bloodline of the hometown: Mount Tai collapses in front of him and does not change his face. Lin didn't have much emotion about the abyss invasion. Even if the appearance of the Ninth Abyss Gate was largely the result of his promotion of the Ninth Power Plan.

Anyway, the door was opened in the southern border of the Sulitan Empire, and it was still thousands of kilometers away from where he lived now. According to the standards of my hometown, it seems to be there across several provinces.

But considering that this is a world where troops only march on their feet, even if the combined forces of demons and orcs can fight without logistical supplies, it is not so easy to cross such a distance.

As for the dominant race in the Lost Land, the human world has been recuperating for more than 200 years since the religious wars. As long as you don't pull down and make fatal mistakes, resisting the abyss invasion is not a big problem.

Since he won't come to his doorstep for a while, he has mysterious confidence in several major empires. It is a matter of course that a certain crosser covers his head with a pillow and ignores foreign affairs.

Anyway, when the sky fell, there was a tall man on top, and there was no need for him to be a soft-spoken and guarded short man. As for the accusations of the initiators, they must be resolutely denied!

It is even necessary to find a way to make some people in the know not make superfluous associations. Because there is no conclusive evidence to prove whether the two things that drove the Ninth Power and the opening of the Ninth Abyss Gate were related or unrelated.

Just because something happened before and after and there is an intersection does not mean that there is a causal relationship between the two. It may also be a coincidence.

But someone who is full of confidence, after seeing the first wave of operations from the official, that inexplicable self-confidence becomes not so sufficient.

The Sulitan Empire sent the first 100,000, and the follow-up had two major impacts.

One is that the southern borders of the Sulitan Empire fell in a short period of time. Because the commanders of the various tribes in the south were all recruited, and they were killed in a battle. The remaining old and weak women and children of the tribe are powerless to resist the combined forces of demons and orcs, and those who are lucky enough to escape from the coalition can be invaded, and the unfortunate ones become the sacrifices of demons just like the men of their tribe.

Second, in addition to becoming food for the orc army, the war dead also became a sacrifice for the demons. A large-scale sacrifice of this magnitude caused a certain Abyss Lord to descend directly on the Lost Land!

If the Abyss Lord smuggled into the Lost Land from time to time, he would definitely be hit by the true body of the Lord of Guardian at the first time. The stowaways are already in a weakened state, and when they encounter the strongest gods in the land, they usually only have to go home with hatred. Or go to the squat resurrection point.

But this time, it came through the Abyss Gate, and a large sacrifice was held. The Lord of the Abyss, who descended in such a way, had no reason for the Lord of Guardians to expel him.

It's like traveling through someone's hometown, someone has a passport, gets a legal visa authorization, and legally passes through customs. What are the grounds for forced expulsion by the domestic police units?

The arrival of the Abyss Lord undoubtedly boosted the morale of the allied forces of demons and orcs, and made it more cheerful to kill people.

In addition to the two major impacts, there are also many small impacts. One of them is the attitude of the Adventurers' Guild and the adventurers.

Ignoring the tactical advantage of the adventurers' squads, he forcibly formed a legion and pushed them to the frontal battlefield. If you win, forget it, the end is actually a sacrifice in vain.

There are only a handful of people who can escape from that meat grinder-like battlefield. All of these people are rare strong people in the world, and no one has escaped with their whole body.

Among the people who died, there were also dragon slayers and demon slayers, who were put in other places, and they were all representatives of strong people who could take charge on their own. However, these people all died in a nonsense, and the actions of the Sulitan Empire certainly provoked the anger of the adventurers.

But even if the Adventurers' Guild is a pan-continental transnational organization, they don't have the confidence to face an empire's lawsuit, and they have no way to seek justice for those who died in vain. However, they can stand by and watch, not crossing the border, and watch coldly as the abyss and the underground alliance rage.

In fact, with the nature of the organizational structure of the Adventurers' Guild, they have no way to force the adventurers to do anything, and they can't restrict them either.

Therefore, when the information of the Abyss Gate flowed out, the guild could not prevent the adventurers from gathering towards the location of the ghost market. Today, the guild is still unable to force adventurers into the Sulitan Empire to unite against the coalition forces of the evil camp.

As for the Mercenary Guild...... This group of people who see money and are open-minded are not as good as adventurers. As long as no one pays, they won't do anything.

However, the defeat of the Sulitan Empire and subsequent changes also made the Mercenary Guild move. Some small kingdoms or noble lords located in the south of the empire, in addition to mobilizing the military forces in their territories, also opened large warehouses, moved out gold, silver, cloth and other goods, and hired a large number of private armies.

These small kingdoms and nobles were south of the southern borders of the Sulitan Empire, intending to build a line of defense against the invasion of the evil camp in the south.

Adventurers also flock to these places. Those with weak reconnaissance and stealth skills began to form armies and train as teams.

Those who are good at team coordination and reconnaissance are constantly searching for information as scouts. But even if they stepped into the borders of the Sulitan Empire, they all sneaked in and left secretly. is not only afraid of being captured by the evil camp, but also afraid of being captured by the Sulitan Empire.

Incidentally, after submitting the information about the Abyssal Gate, the three of them evacuated from the southern border of the Sulitan Empire. Therefore, they did not die in vain in the subsequent war of sending heads.

The reason why they left was, of course, because the three people who fled were not all gone, and they all suffered more or less damage. Ezio, who brought back the head of the archdemon, was even more bloody. It was a miracle that he was able to return to the human gathering point alive.

On the one hand, you need to rest, and on the other hand, you need to change to a war gear against demons and orcs, instead of the original normal adventure equipment. So they left the Suritang Empire early and were transported back to the holy city of Estali by the Auto Center's exclusive fast airship.

Compared to the actions of the countries in the southern borders of the empire, the sluggishness of the Sulitan Empire is simply unbelievable. Except for the death of the first wave of southern Khan kings, there was no other defense or assembly.

It was like a turtle that had been bitten off one foot, and its head and other three feet had not yet received signs of pain, so they did not move. And the silence of the Sulitan Empire is like acquiescing to the evil camp coalition taking root in the maze.

For a time, rumors that the Great Khan of the Sulitan Empire had reached an agreement with the demons spread on and outside the forum. And the most terrifying thing is that, judging by all indications, it is really possible that this thing is true.

If you don't judge it this way, it is impossible to explain why the Great Khan of the Empire did nothing in the face of the Abyssal invasion, as if he was indulging the actions of the other side. It's just that rumors are just rumors after all, and for the time being, no one dares to accuse an empire without evidence, which is equivalent to the emperor's Great Khan.

Compared with the inaction of the Sulitan Empire, the reaction of the other four empires is also interesting.

Most likely to be the next target, as the closest is the Gwana Empire. As an old empire with a heritage from the Ancient Kingdoms, they have the most experience in dealing with demons.

In the past decade or so, the subjects of the empire, which have become more and more affluent, have begun to integrate resources from all walks of life to build a new type of army and expand their military strength.

Although a soldier can fight with a sword and armor. But with or without training, the effect of fighting is still different. Who wants to waste their lives in vain?

Besides, even if you don't play defense, you have to attack. Find a way to drive the demon back into the abyss and block the broken door. So no one is dissatisfied because they were recruited, and everyone has the consciousness to fight this battle.

Vader's Legion and the Hyder Empire are considered the second order that could be invaded by the evil faction. Of course, the country in the name of the army is not afraid of war, and they have even sent forward legions, passing through small countries, towards the southern border of the Sulitan Empire. And the army and armaments are also expanding within the militaristic state.

The Haider Empire stopped fighting for the Oz Plain on the border with the Karlsruhe Empire, and all the tentacles that stretched out also shrank. Although he did not dare to relax the garrison on the fortress, he had shifted his focus to the north and set his sights on the abyssal invasion.

The Karlsruhe Empire did not take advantage of the danger. The civil war between humans and the interdimensional war against the abyss are two wars of different natures.

If you pull the hind legs of the human side, it is easy to get angry. Although with the respect of the empire, he is not afraid of being criticized by the smallest countries, but who does not want to lose face.

Even if it is shameless, as long as it is profitable, it is everyone's interest to drive the demon out of the maze. Who can stand being neighbors with that kind of chaotic creature?

So the Karlsruhe Empire also discontinued. There are even young people who are eager for military merit, looking for ways to go to the north of the Lost Land.
