Chapter 60: The Female Fire Demon
Since yesterday, there have been many fires in Silver Dragon Castle, causing a lot of damage, a certain piece of farmland suddenly caught fire, and then the nearby villages also suffered.
Before the lich leader Kant could investigate clearly, the arsonist actually came to the door himself.
When Kant, the lich in charge of the internal affairs of the territory, saw the hundreds of fire demons densely packed outside the city, even if he was well-informed, he was directly dumbfounded - he had seen the demon army let the fire demons attack the foreign race, and he had never seen so many fire demons burning on his own territory.
The lord obviously didn't bring the fire demons here, he couldn't be clearer about this, where did so many fire demons come from?
Not many people live outside the city, and it is a place where farmers live and farm.
On a clear autumn day, billowing black smoke was rising from the vast fields outside the city, and all the bales of wheat straw that had not had time to be cleaned up had become food for the fire demons to keep warm, and they were being burned in large areas.
The surrounding peasants couldn't stop it at all, and they could only cry without tears when they watched the fruits of their labor turn to ashes.
The army of the territory cannot effectively deal with the fire demons, and only the mage can be relied on in this case.
Kande, the leader of the lich, took the opportunity to personally lead the lich in the city, and Safin, the head of the mage's guild, also sent a water mage to assist.
The Grand Mage knew very well that if this matter did not subside, the entire city could be in flames, including their Treasure Workshop.
Soon, even the priests of the church were dispatched, and Bishop Beckman ordered that all saints who knew water magic must fight to protect the believers and stop the monsters from invading.
The lich, the priest, and the magician come together for the common good and join forces to fight outside the city, a rare spectacle that is an eye-opener for the people of the city.
However, they didn't have time to watch the excitement, and now that the Silver Dragon Castle was under martial law, everyone began to fetch water to prepare for the fire.
Garrisons and undead creatures are on standby in the city, and according to Kant's orders, they will strictly investigate the lawbreakers who take advantage of the fire to rob.
The fire demon burned all the fields outside, and completed a stubble burning job for the lord for free, and the hordes of flames began to move towards the city walls, looking both spectacular and terrifying.
During this period, they grabbed whatever they encountered, set fire to what they caught, and devoured whatever they ignited, leaving only a large area of lifeless and blackened traces on the ground where they passed.
People from outside the city have long fled into the city, but the loss from outside is inevitable, and the business that has flourished so hard has come to a standstill.
Kant, the lich leader who was working for Vincent's internal affairs, saw this scene, and his lifeless eyes flashed with anger.
The raging fire came to a halt less than half a mile before reaching the castle, but despite this, the hot wind was blowing in his face, and even the soldiers on the city walls could clearly feel the overwhelming heat.
The soldiers born after the Great War didn't know how the Firedemons would attack the city, but they could be sure that even if they just crouched under the wall, they would be able to prostrate them.
Because Vincent didn't bring a single fire demon, the lords who had long been accustomed to monsters, and even often teamed up to cooperate, felt fear of strange monsters for the first time.
One of the firedemons that stopped moving forward began to move out alone.
The leader of the lich, who was once a magister, was naturally not afraid to see a fire demon coming alone, and he stepped forward only with his wand.
"Forgive our rudeness, Lord Lich, we have no intention of challenging us."
Among the many fire demons, a flame demon with dazzling flames rising all over his body, who looked relatively thin and slender from the form, stepped forward alone and saluted the leader Kant.
"Say it, low-level fire demon." A cold air condensed on Kant's wand, and his tone was equally cold, "This is the territory of His Highness Vincennes, not the place where you should come."
Seeing that the ice magic was ready to be attacked, the fire demon did not flinch, and continued to negotiate without humility or arrogance.
"We're here for Prince Seid. The High Lord has said that he will be our new master."
"His Highness Vincent is not here, and neither is His Highness Said, you have come in vain." Immanuel Kant said, "It is a felony to destroy the territory, so accept it."
"We were low, we had nowhere to go, we were dying of starvation, so we had to burn these life supports. Before you kill us, please let us meet Prince Said once."
The knowledgeable Kant could see at a glance that this leading female fire demon was extraordinary, and unlike other stupid and sluggish fire demons, she was not only beautiful in shape, delicate in flames, but also very logical in speaking, and it could be seen that she was a wise individual.
Probably due to the lack of heat, the fire light in the white eyes of this fire demon had begun to dim, and the flames surrounding its body were thin and wanted to be extinguished at any time.
Even so, the other fire demons were very respectful to her, and some kept sharing the flames on her body so that she could maintain her strength to speak.
It is also a fire demon, and it is also divided into different bloodlines, and the high-level fire demon born from chaos is more noble, and the ability is not the same, and the lord who can rule all the fire demons is like this.
Among these high-level fire demons, only high-level demons will give birth to anthropomorphic forms and have higher learning and comprehension abilities.
When matured to a certain extent, the high-level Fire Demon is able to gather the power of his clan and use the Fire Demon Clan's most powerful destructive magic, the Immortal Day.
Therefore, high-level fire demons are all treasures in the clan, why did they appear as refugees in Silver Dragon Castle?
A few days after Said's arrival, he heard the wind last night, so he left his ranch and slipped away, and the fire demons were destined to run in vain.
Kant didn't have time to investigate the inside story of this matter slowly, watching the raging fire roll up in the sky and sparks raging outside the city, and the losses would become bigger and bigger if it was delayed.
However, the Lich has always been known for its calmness, and it is better to salute them before they have finished their casting preparations, and it is better to stabilize them.
"Female Fire Demon, let's replenish some magic power," Kant pulled out a Fire Demon Stone from his wide sleeve and threw it to the Fire Demon, "Speak when you're full."
"Thank you, Lich-sama."
The female flame demon's right arm turned into a stream of flame, accurately wrapped the magic stone, took a look at it nostalgically, and then stuffed it into a few little flame demons beside her.
When the little flame demons got the magic stone, they were happy to be like children who had seen a candy cube, competing to absorb the magic power inside, completely unaware of the danger of the current situation.
This somewhat anthropomorphic act made the lich leader a little stunned - the low-level demons are greedy and selfish creatures, and it is a bit too bizarre to share food and protect the weak, not to mention that she herself is extremely weak.
Although she is a female flame demon with low combat effectiveness, she can get the support of other fire demons, she must have a leader, and this kind of monster must be very dangerous if she is ruthless.
From her, Kant actually vaguely saw the shadow of Vincent, after all, the lord is also a demon who does not follow the usual path, and can make people of different races keep to themselves, and can unite for his use.
If the lord is here, I'm afraid I don't want to kill her, so I guess I'll try to communicate with him and her, and then try to persuade and take it for myself, right?
However, it can still be controlled by raising a fire demon as a pet, but these hundreds of large and small fire demons are different from other harmless races, and if they are placed near Silver Dragon Castle, sooner or later there will be a big mess.
Since they are all *** refugees, it is best to make up your mind to get rid of them.
It took time for the magicians to gather their magic, chant spells, and form a stronger array of attacking magic, and Kant continued to talk and stall for time.
The garrison in the city is not enough yet, it is better to wait a little longer, and garrison elsewhere, and the orc army led by Brother Leopard should also rush over at that time.
