Chapter 1492: The Calm Before the Storm

It was supposed to be the best time to blow the horn of the counteroffensive, but instead it became a time for everyone to silently accumulate strength.

In fact, from another point of view, the strength of any front is not guaranteed to be able to penetrate the demon coalition army. Unless all the forces are integrated together, coordinated in many ways, and the demon alliance is defeated, there is no possibility of victory.

Since there is no fighting, then the human side is happy to have more time to prepare and gather more troops.

According to the intelligence, the abyss gate in the center of the demon occupation is a complete body that has been opened. This means that the entry and exit of ordinary demons has completely disappeared, that is, the war potential of the demon side is the entire abyss.

As for where the orcs came from, no one wants to delve into such a question. The separation between the surface world and the underground world is not as clear as the separation between the ground and the abyss.

There may be a cave between the cols, and the depths of the cave connect to the underworld. Otherwise, the inhabitants of the underworld will always dig into the surface world if they dig hard overhead.

However, the Underworld is not like the surface, where you can travel around without hindrance.

The underworld is divided into many isolated chunks. The only way to communicate with each other is through teleportation magic, or through artificially carved passages. However, the latter is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the channel may not last long.

Therefore, it is not difficult for well-informed people or kings of various countries to know the origin of this group of orcs mixed with demons. The orcs of which tribe can drill out of this area.

】

Of course, there are several orc tribes led by the Fire Axe Clan who love the art of explosions. Since the origin is clear, then there is a bottom in the heart of the number of each other, the direction in which they are good at, etc.

The only concern is that in the early stages of the war, how many women were captured by the Demon Alliance? These females all have the opportunity to become seedbeds for half-orc breeding.

Half-orcs have a fairly short gestation and growth period. If it drags on for a few years, and puts it on the heads of the kings of various countries, the data in the information about the orcs will have to be doubled several times.

For such a war, if it can be resolved quickly, I believe that no one is willing to delay.

But the reality is that by the time the Abyssal Gate was discovered, the demon-orc alliance had already become a climate. In contrast, the human side reacts not only with a slow beat, but also with poor decision-making, which causes things to tilt in a worse direction.

So in the minds of some people in power who are far-sighted enough, they expect that this will be a protracted and time-consuming war. Even...... It is not impossible for the land to fall, everything depends on the strength of the abyss's attack.

Suddenly, a war that should have been in full swing fell into an inexplicable calm. The turbulent waves turned into invisible undercurrents, and the kings of each country had their own plans. Even the emperors of empires have problems that they are highly capable of pondering.

However, there is one question that flashes through most people's minds, but it doesn't stay long before it is covered by a more realistic problem that is close at hand. And the original question was, how did the door to the abyss open?

There are many possibilities for the opening of the Abyss Gate, some are artificial, some are natural, but the process has always been gradual. Even a breach between the Lost Earth and the Abyss suddenly appeared in a corner of the mountain, and this breach slowly transformed into a portal.

However, in the process of such a transformation, there are also many signs to be noted. It contains demonic characteristics of demonic beasts and ordinary beasts, a large area of plants that are abnormally dry and dead, and the mutations of newborns and cubs.

The adventurers who are exploring everywhere actually have a considerable function, which is to monitor the places where the light of this civilization does not shine. It's not all about running to a certain place to fight, kill, eat, drink, and mess around.

Such a function does not necessarily have a dedicated reconnaissance mission. Sometimes it is included in other quests, and the situation of returning to the place by the way is recorded by the adventurer's guild.

Integrating this intelligence may not cover the entire mystery, but it also monitors most of the area.

Someone's forum monitoring system in the name of 'Di Ting' was actually carried out much earlier. It's just in a different way, and the efficiency and difficulty are not ideal.

If the naturally generated Abyss Gate wants to grow to the level of the gate in front of it without being discovered, and even make the Demon Alliance fully prepare for the war in the early stage, this kind of thing is logically impossible.

In addition, the location where this door was opened is not a remote area that is rarely inhabited.

Perhaps the scale of the nearby human settlements is not large. But a large group of living people really didn't notice the abnormality, so they let the abyssal gate grow into such a mess that the demons could cross over and slaughter them?

Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that this door is artificial, and it is possible to grow explosively in a short period of time. And let the demons be prepared, and as soon as they can cross the realm, they will begin to gather troops and look for allies.

It is even reasonable to suspect that there is a 'human traitor' behind this whole thing, a mastermind behind the scenes.

But even if someone thinks of it, it will be put aside. The demons are all killed in front of you, and at this time, even if you find out who is behind the scenes, does it make sense? Even if you really find that person and kill the other party, can you change the status quo?

The demonic threat is already there, and the door to the abyss has been opened. Maybe after all this is dealt with, it makes sense to investigate how all this happened.

Now pursue it, don't you think it's troublesome enough? Is it possible to blow up this 'person' who doesn't know how to deal with it, and it is possible to cause unpredictable consequences. Even if a well-intentioned person is looking for the answer to this question, he is cautious and sneaky.

As for whether there will be other conspiracies behind this mastermind, causing greater harm to the mystery?

This is all an abyss invasion, and the Midi is preparing to fight a plane war with the abyss, what will be the 'greater harm'? If there is an answer to this question, it will be of interest to those who are knowledgeable.

Blow up the maze directly? This is not in the interests of the devil.

Lead the demons to conquer the Maze and become the new generation of demon kings?

The abyss itself is in a mess, and the demons will work together in the maze?

Not to mention that there are half-orcs, in the underworld, betrayal and intrigue are commonplace. Whoever wants to do this demon king, the first thing to deal with is the demon and the orc, the two backstabbing professionals.

The demon king of a thousand years ago, the main body used to conquer the lost land is still an army of undead without a strong subjective consciousness.

However, the laughter demon is in a mess inside, and the human side is not like this.

In this war, the attitude of the most critical Sulitan Empire was ambiguous, and several wrong decisions seemed to be given away for nothing. The Great Khan of the Empire has colluded with the demons, and most people are worried, and they dare not question what is clearly said.

Now, the demonic alliance's suspended offensive has given the human side a breathing space. In the three directions that the demon alliance can attack, there are armies in the east, west, and south.

Unless the demon climbs over the high mountains to the north and attacks the Khan court of the Sulitan Empire. Otherwise, no matter which side they attack, they will run into the defenses run by the human side.

Although with the strength of the current defense line, it may not be able to block the full attack of the demon alliance. But as long as it can be delayed, the follow-up support will come up, and the demon will not be flooded like a flood, everyone is still sure.

In addition, it is also possible that the armies of the other two directions will take advantage of the weakness and relieve the pressure in the defensive direction. This tacit understanding does not need to be negotiated in advance.

As long as something happens, relying on the speed of the forum to transmit information, even if the high-level troops of the other two sides do not want to act, they just want to wait for the two sides to lose in the fight, they will be pressed by the people below.

Fighting demons is the great righteousness of the land. The only reason why I didn't go up to fight was that I didn't have all the preparations, and I might waste my life in vain but I couldn't kill a demon, which was purely a loss-making business. But if there is a chance to pick up a bargain, who can bear it?

But the reality is that nothing has happened. Everyone is still accumulating strength.

For the human side, follow-up support continues to arrive, and the strength of defense is becoming more and more sufficient. Continue to grow, and the time for a counteroffensive will come.

What is puzzling is, what is the purpose of waiting on the demon side? Waiting for more demonic armies to emerge from the Abyssal Gate?

According to most people's thoughts, there is already an alliance of demons and orcs descending from the Abyss Maharaja, and the best way to fight is for the Maharaja to lead the army to charge. It must be overwhelming, and it will be broken.

But such a method of warfare is impossible for those who really touch the top to the top. The Lord of the Abyss dares to show off his power in the delusion, and the gods are really vegetarians.

Even if it is a heads-up situation, few gods are sure to win an Abyss Lord, but this is the home of the gods of the Lost Land. Even with the firewall of the Lord of Guardians, the gods cannot come in person. But if you change your tricks and use the siege, you can also send the Abyss Lord back to his hometown.

Even if the good gods are not enough, the evil gods will come to make up, who told everyone to clean up the heroes of the post-dark era. Everyone worked hard to get out of today's situation, but it wasn't for the sake of giving it to the devil.

And the Lord of Guardians hasn't come forward yet! The strongest man in the real world has not yet made a move.

It's just that compared to the confrontation outside, all parties are secretly making their hearts and minds treacherous. In the mansion of the holy city of Estali, another drama is also being staged.

Although Rowan and Kish did not escape the attack of the pursuers in the end, the orc team that caught up with them at the first time was not their opponent. By the time the demons wanted to make a move, they couldn't catch up.

But the Empress of the Initiative and the volleying of Ezio are completely different treatments. The demon heads that he regarded as important evidence were one after the other. What was finally delivered to the counter of the Adventurer's Guild was the head of a great demon.

In exchange, he saved his two legs to escape, but his left hand was gone. The Hidden Blade was also destroyed, but the blade sharpened by the Dragon's Tooth was not so easily destroyed, and was rescued by Ezio.

In other words, if he hadn't been trying to save the dragon tooth blade, he might not have been so seriously injured. But if he hadn't snatched back the dragon's tooth blade, maybe he wouldn't have been able to escape that catastrophe in the future.

The right ear is gone; Although the right eyeball was still there, a terrible scar that almost cut open the head ran through it, and it was impossible to leave a trace of vision. The left cheek opened from the corner of his mouth, and it looked like he was grinning all the time.

The countless scars on Ezio's body are not to be mentioned.
