……

Demon Lord Eisner's aggressive actions clearly exceeded all expectations.

Matthew is no exception.

He thought he was just facing Eisner's men.

I never thought that this demon lord would actually risk breaking his corpse to ten thousand pieces and forcibly descend on the main material realm!

"It's crazy!"

Matthew couldn't help but sigh.

Due to the existence of permanent barriers and plane barriers, it is difficult for powerful beings in the outer plane worlds such as abyss, purgatory, and evil spirits to descend directly into the material realm.

This is a protection for the living beings in the material world.

And for the powerful life in the outer world, this is a shackle and constraint.

In the history of Aindo.

Powerful beings in the outer planes have tried many ways to exert their influence on the physical realm.

But the most is to support spokespeople, manipulate doppelgangers or projections, promote secret churches, and so on.

It is not that no one has tried to break their flesh into pieces, pass through the barrier, and then enter the material world, and then complete the "smuggling" through reorganization or resurrection.

But the powerful beings in history who did so all died miserably.

On the one hand, the material realm has its own guardians, and they are basically on the same level as the powerful beings of the outer planes.

Many were arrested red-handed in the process of smuggling.

Not to mention coming.

I haven't even touched the starry sky of Aiindo!

On the other hand, breaking up into pieces will weaken you, and even if you are able to respawn, you will be at risk of being wiped out.

During the ascension of Tianlun Palace, some gods tried to do this.

He broke Himself into pieces.

And then there was no more then.

But the situation is different now.

Most of the alliance's high-level mages have been affected by time warp, and the high-end combat power of the material realm has formed a short window period.

This means as long as no one is messing with the outer planes.

Smuggling is difficult to stop.

It's the same after the Advent.

Eisner cut himself into 100 million copies, and as long as one of them survived, then his smuggling operation was successful.

Matthew certainly had the intention of killing all of Eisner's mutilations.

But he also knew he didn't have that ability.

"It's a bit of a hassle......"

He rubbed his temples and stared to the northeast.

With the blessing of the Hyperopia Scroll.

He could see that there were other shadows behind the purple crack!

Discern carefully.

It's not hard to see that the shadows contain an eyeball, a section of intestines, and an internal organ.

Matthew glanced at the data bar.

It was revealed that they were Eisner's left eye, cecum, and pancreas.

The tongue is only the first step.

The remaining body of the demon lord Eisner is also actively pouring into Ayndor.

The only positive news may be that Eisner didn't throw all of his body north of Rolling Stone.

He had clearly taken into account the allocation of risk.

Matthew estimates that Riptide City, Gem Bay, and other parts of the South are likely to appear outside of the city!

Stopping the invasion of a demon lord of this level is obviously not Matthew's business alone.

This is a daunting task that the entire continent of Aindor must work together to accomplish!

Matthew's brain spins wildly –

Let's not talk about how to stop Eisner.

He must think of a countermeasure against the "army of tongues"!

At this moment, there was a little movement on the other side of the mossy hills.

It is estimated that the Southern Wizard Corps also noticed Eisner's crazy move.

It didn't take long.

Yu Qi also came to the door with a bitter face.

As an astrologist, Yu Qi's divination ability is amazing, and he brings Matthew information about Eisner.

"Demon Lord Eisner has the blood of the Abyss Imperial Clan, which is a great demon race known as the High Demons, and has a significant influence in a large part of the Abyss."

"Eisner's father was once one of the demon lords who attacked the Soviet State, and died in the Jade Crushing Catastrophe of the Emperor of the Soviet State, so Eisner has a very subtle emotion for the Soviet State."

"On the one hand, he is very glad that Su Guo killed his father, so that he was able to ascend to the position of the High Demon Patriarch at a young age, and gain territory and power that ordinary people can unimaginable - by the way, the power of the Demon Lord will increase with the number of territories he occupies, which is why the Demon is an extremely expansive race, as long as they can occupy and infect more land, the Abyss Mother will give them more power."

On the other hand, Eisner was also very jealous of anything related to the Soviet State or even the human race.

I'm afraid this is an important reason why he chose to place the main battlefield of this landing in the material world in Rolling Rock City and Gem Bay.

I'm so sorry.

It's us who have caused you.

This guy is here for the Southern Mage Legion! ”

Yu Qi's expression was somewhat helpless.

Matthew shook his head:

"The Demon Lord's main purpose is to encroach on the land of the main material realm, no matter who it is aimed at, no one can be left alone."

"By the way, what's the matter with the so-called High Demon?"

Yu Qi said:

"The Great Demon is the top level in the Abyss Society, but you should also know that the Great Demons are all hatched from the Demon Egg, and there is no blood relationship between each Great Demon, so the Great Demon Race is the most loosely related in the entire Abyss Society."

"And the high demons are different, they are a group of special races that have mastered the way to hatch great demons stably, we don't know the specific content, in Eisner's family can indeed produce an astonishing number of great demons stably."

"And these archdemons have stronger physical qualities than their ordinary counterparts."

"The scariest thing is their ability to recover."

"The recovery ability of a high-level demon is more than ten times that of a high-level demon!"

"The devil's recovery ability is not bad, but compared to the high demons, even the superior devil can't reach the edge of their old enemy......"

"I've read in books that Eisner's father had nine hearts, and as long as one of them was still beating, he could recover most of it in a dozen seconds."

"It's highly likely that Eisner has inherited this resilience as well."

"In addition, the archdemon itself is able to evolve different resistances and adaptations depending on the environment."

"The soldiers they lead also exhibit this characteristic."

"In history, Soviet soldiers generally believed that in the fight against the Great Demon, the most difficult point was that the other party always used the way of exchanging lives for lives-

Even if you are seriously injured, as long as you don't die, then the uncomfortable ones are human beings with minor injuries.

It's a big demoralization ......"

Matthew was unmoved.

Compared to human soldiers, demons are indeed more terrifying.

But in front of his immortals, he can only be treated equally.

"Then demons must have weaknesses, right?"

He asked.

Yu Qi groaned:

"We generally believe that the weakness of demons lies in light and fire."

"First of all, fire, in very old times, the demons were very afraid of fire, and then the devils discovered this, and they always burned the demons with the flames from hell, and by taking advantage of this, the demons gained a great advantage in the early days of the bloody war.

But not for long.

Some of the Archdemons and their armies have evolved to be extremely resistant to fire.

So they fought back.

But even so.

Not all demon armies have high fire resistance.

In the history of the Soviet State fighting against the demons.

There have also been several large-scale cases of successful fire attacks.

Those demons didn't show a lot of fire resistance.

According to the speculation of the Great Wall Mage Legion.

The demon's flame resistance requires the cultivation of the environment and the adaptation of time -

Other words.

Even if an army of demons has evolved fire resistance.

But as long as they do not come into contact with the flames for a long time.

This resistance will also slowly fade.

Until the next time they encounter a fire strike, they will often suffer a big loss in the early stage, but it will not take long to reawaken the bloodline's resistance to flames. ”

Matthew nodded slowly:

"It's adaptability, not conventional resistance."

"What about the light?"

Yu Qi said:

"Demons can act in the sun, but they generally hate the sun."

"It is said that this is because the environment of the abyss is shrouded in a huge cloud of blood all day long."

"Demons rarely have the experience of acting in the midday sun, so they will have a certain stress response to the harsh sunlight."

"Especially the High Demons, there are some High Demons who become stronger at night, and this is because their ancestors are suspected of holding the power of the night."

"These high demons will be weakened to a certain extent in the sun."

"I'm not quite sure if Eisner or his army will be punished by the sun."

"But demons hate bright lights, that's for sure."

Matthew nodded slightly.

Dealing with the demon army is already a tricky thing.

Now there is an army of tongues, cecums, and pancreas......

The devil knows what other organs are lining up in the back!

He could only gather as much intelligence information as he could, and then improvised on the battlefield.

Matthew and Yu Qi chatted for a long time.

A bit of a bonus.

But not much.

The main thing is that Qin Wuyue's Southern Mage Legion is trained according to the template of the Great Wall Mage Legion.

But they just have a lot of theoretical knowledge about demons.

And there is not enough real combat experience.

According to Yu Qi.

Those flames on the Great Array of Zhurong's Eye had the effect of restraining demons in themselves.

But for once, there were too many demon armies.

Second, it is unknown whether these flames will work on Eisner's tongue.

And in Matthew's opinion.

The trickiest part of dealing with Eisner's tongue is the quantity.

It's the same as the Brezu Demon formed by the herd.

There are too many of these tongues.

Looking at the sky from the sky, the ground is almost densely packed, and if you look at it more, your scalp will tingle.

The only thing to be thankful for is.

These tongues can only move slowly by wriggling or small jumps.

The tongue herd is still in the vicinity of the Resting Wasteland.

Want to be close to Matthew's cemetery.

It will take at least a day or two.

There's still plenty of room to prepare!

Before dawn.

Matthew, who was thinking hard about countermeasures, waited for the dusty Viscount Fan.

It's different from what it used to be.

This time, Viscount Fan seemed to be in a hurry.

Matthew was very happy the moment he handed over the demon soul to him.

But soon, he seemed a little absent-minded.

Matthew asks if he has a way to fight the demon lord Eisner.

Viscount Fan's reaction was also perfunctory.

However, Matthew still got his wish, exchanging 3,000 demon souls for the right to use the Sun God Spear.

Viscount Fan is still very generous in this regard.

He directly handed over the Sun God Spear to Matthew and promised to give him 30,000 demon souls within the next year.

Then this Sun God Spear is Matthew's.

Seeing that the other party has something on their mind.

Matthew didn't force it to stay either.

After sending Viscount Fan away, he looked at the attributes of the Sun God Spear, and finally felt a little relieved in his heart-

No matter how you look at it.

The Sun God Spear has a-for-tat restraint against the demon group.

……

"Sun Spear (Degraded Artifact): Currently in a state where the Divine Fire is extinguished, whoever wields the spear will gain the following abilities or spells—

1. Throwable Mastery +3/Projectile Range +3/Projectile Penetration +50%

2. If you have the Minotaur Martial Arts, then when holding the spear, all the Minotaur Martial Arts will be upgraded to the Master level.

3. Sun Glory: The spear emits a bright light that dazzles nearby enemies and greatly reduces their perception (available 3 times a day)

4. Minotaur Invisibility: Your body inspires a cloud of light that cannot be seen directly, and all those who look directly at you will be severely punished for their vision, and may even be permanently blind!

In addition, anyone who tries to use perception to determine your location will suffer from perception reduction and soul burn. (can be used at any time)"

……

"Forehead ......"

"Blinding everyone, I'm invisible?"

"It's a Minotaur stealth technique, I like ......"

Matthew couldn't put it down, playing with the spear in his hand.

It is different from the cool but rough feel of the bamboo stick given by Terast.

This spear is warm and slippery in the hand, and has a very silky and snug feeling.

The shape of the Sun God Spear does not have a sense of sharpness, but has a subtle and restrained beauty.

Both the appearance and attributes are very much in line with Matthew's appetite!

He swung his spear in the cemetery.

Then he went to the Sanctuary of Life to arrange things - the demons did not dare to enter the oak forest, and the army of tongues did not.

Matthew has always been meticulous and naturally does not miss these details.

Between busyness.

Soon it was dawn.

According to Matthew, the official founding ceremony should have been carried out as scheduled the next day.

But Rhaegar objected.

His reasons are also sufficient—

On the one hand, Rhaegar believes that Matthew is the guardian of Rolling Stone, the chief mage, and the great hero, and he must be present at the official ceremony of the founding ceremony, otherwise it will be meaningless;

On the other hand, according to the original process, the position of king actually needed to be given to Legar by Ms. Qin Wuyue on behalf of the will of the alliance.

After all, everyone knows.

Aindo is the world of the Seven Saints Alliance, and the king is also called the king when he is recognized by the alliance.

But the current situation is that Qin Wuyue can't come as promised.

The rest of the others are not very good at awarding the title of King Rhaegar on behalf of the Alliance.

Therefore.

Rhaegar called the representatives of the city-states early and held a simple witness ceremony.

Compared to the original large-scale investiture ceremony.

Naturally, the witnessing ceremony was much more streamlined.

But even so.

The ceremony was also attended by many people in the city, and the atmosphere was said to be very enthusiastic, especially during Rhaeggar's speech, which according to him:

"You have no idea how popular I am!"

"I have restrained my tone very much when I speak, for fear of arousing everyone's emotions, but there are still a lot of girls who faint......"

These are the exact words of Rhaegar when describing the scene of the witness ceremony to Matthew.

And on this.

Zeller's assessment might be a little more objective:

"It's too hot."

Rega glared dryly.

But he really couldn't argue with it, the July sun in Rolling Rock City was blazing, and even if a cooler morning was chosen, the weather at the end of the ceremony was hot enough to make people dizzy.

Midday.

The crowd gathers in the cemetery to discuss countermeasures against the demons and the army of tongues.

"Those tongues are indeed scary, fortunately, except for a few cavalry and fire bats, the soldiers in the city have not seen those scary scenes, I have ordered the news to be blocked, it is best not to let the ordinary people know about the demon landing in the short term......"

Zeller said.

Matthew nodded slightly, so many tongues wriggling on the ground is indeed a scene that subverts ordinary people's cognition, it is easy to cause chaos, and Zeller's handling is reasonable.

"Can we only defend passively?"

"I mean, is it possible to surprise those portals and kill those abyss mages?"

Rhaegar asked.

Matthew shook his head:

"It's difficult, not to mention that the abyss mages themselves have good combat effectiveness, and they also have a professional demon army guarding them."

"And we currently lack the high-end combat power to perform this kind of mission, especially legendary mages."

"The defensive strategy is conservative, but it is also the safest, I have just observed, under the scorching sun, the speed of those tongues moving is almost halved, at the current rate, they may not be able to reach the front of the cemetery before the sun sets, we may have the opportunity to push the line a little further north before then, and besides, the trench I have people digging should also serve to hold the tongues out."

Rhaegar touched his chin:

"How's the fire attack?"

"Oil pots, plus rockets - this is the most common tactic used by the Blood Banner Kingdom when dealing with demons."

Yu Qi opened his mouth and said:

"Theoretically, but do we have enough oil cans and archers to launch rockets?"

Matthew thought for a moment:

"Centaur archers can shoot rockets."

"But these tongues are too widely distributed, and the northern clearing is too vast, and a fire attack may be able to kill some of them, but it can't completely stop them in the north."

"And is there enough fire oil in Rolling Stone?"

Zeller shook his head and said:

"Not enough, there is a serious shortage of oil reserves of any category in the warehouse at the moment."

Rhaegar is still unwilling:

"Can spells solve this problem?"

"I remember there was such a spell as grease, right?"

Yu Qi smiled bitterly:

"It is true that grease techniques exist, but each grease technique that can create a 4m x 4m square greasy area requires a finger-sized piece of ointment as a casting material."

"Many of our legion's mages know grease magic, but they don't have free spells, and they need a lot of ointment to do it."

"And the cast distance is also an issue, the cast distance of the grease spell is very close, which means that the cast process can be dangerous......"

"What about building a wall of fire?"

Rhaegar continued to think of ideas:

"Can your spells do that?"

He looked at Matthew.

Matthew shrugged:

"Don't look at me, I'm a necromancer."

Rhaegar looked at Yu Qi again.

Yu Qi pondered:

"Theoretically possible, but it still needs to be maintained in close proximity, and the northern wasteland is so vast that it would have to stretch for hundreds of kilometers to build a wall of fire that would hold most tongues to it...... This is not something that ordinary spells can do, it requires the power of the ritual field, and the demon army is behind it, they can't watch us build the ritual field. ”

"Even if it's built, it's easy to tear it down......"

Rhaegar scratched his head.

The vast plains north of Rolling Rock are indeed a flaw to the detriment of the defenders at the moment.

Matthew took advantage of the mobility of the cemetery, combined with the left and right cover of mossy hills and oak forests, to create a defensible terrain.

But even so.

The northern part of the cemetery is still wide open, and there is a lack of protective barriers.

The crowd discussed it for a while.

Except for fire.

They also considered the option of flooding.

But because of the terrain, it is too difficult to operate at a practical level.

Ultimately.

Matthew concluded:

"As things stand, we can't afford to do it all at once."

"It's not possible for us to completely block all those tongues in the north, so we have to do it in sections and use different defensive strategies."

"The direction close to the mossy green hills will be handed over to the Southern Mage Legion, and using the Zhurong Eye Great Array, one or two walls of fire can also be built for auxiliary defense."

"Get close to the direction of the oak groves, and I'll get the centaur archers ready to tilt the fire oil supplies in the city as far as possible to make sure that the direction of the woods doesn't become a breakthrough for those tongues."

"Here in the cemetery, I have some fire-mourners to call, they are not enough to stop all the tongues, and the rest can only let the skeleton army go up."

Matthew's plan is also a last resort.

After all, there has never been a city in history surrounded by a bunch of tongues.

Everyone can only figure out a way on the spot.

Everyone nodded their heads.

But seeing that Rhaegar hesitated:

"Why don't I go to Lutia for help?"

"The Blood Banner Kingdom should have a lot of oil cans in stock......"

Matthew looked at him deeply:

"You can try."

"But pay attention to the body."

Rhaegar straightened up immediately, trying to say something.

It was at this time.

Peggy walked over with a bunch of dishes:

"You're tired after talking about it for so long, aren't you?"

"It's time to eat!"

As she spoke, she put the dishes on the huge dining car to the end of the desk in front of everyone:

"This is my new research dish, how about you try it?"

Everyone looked at it and was shocked!

But when I saw that stacks of white and clean plates, there were fried tongues on the table!

Some of these tongues are estimated to be fried for not long enough.

It's still bouncing on the plate when you take it out of your plate!

Matthew's face was stunned:

"Where did you get this?"

Peggy's Crossed Waist:

"I saw it early in the morning, just north of the woods, and I saw them jumping happily and went over to pick up a little."

"You just say, isn't it delicious?!"

Matthew was silent.

He was about to retort, "Is this something to eat?!" ”。

Who knew that Rhaegar had already moved his knife and fork!

"Zizi!"

He bit off the surface of his tongue, and golden fat particles came out of it, along with pepper particles and milky juice beating on the surface of his tongue—

"Don't say it!"

"Matthew!"

"It tastes really good!"

Rhaegar ate so much that the others couldn't help but move.

Matthew looked at the scene of their mouths full of oil.

Suddenly a new way of coping came to mind.

"Speaking of these tongues......"

"Looks like it's really edible!"

He thought so.

……

Late at night.

In a clearing to the north of the oak forest.

Tongues slowly approached the woods in the moonlight.

Suddenly.

There was a slight commotion in the woods.

It didn't take long.

A flock of wild ducks fluttered their wings out of it!

Those wild ducks fluttered on the ground, pecking frantically at the wriggling tongues on the ground!

These demon tongues are not small, the big ones are even the size of fists.

However, the combat effectiveness of the wild duck is also good.

It didn't take long.

The place where the duck flock swept was empty.

A shrill whistling sound sounded in the forest.

Under the call of the voice.

The ducks swooped down the edge of the forest to the east.

On a magic carpet in mid-air.

Matthew stood there, his face surprised.

At this moment, his eyes could see the dark shadows moving in the woods—

In addition to mallards, there are pheasants, peacocks, and other avian creatures, large or small.

And right in the middle of these dark shadows.

The tall posture of a larger bird is particularly noticeable.

"I didn't expect that black peacock to be so face-saving!"

Matthew's heart was also full of surprises.

None of the fowl groups currently active in the northern part of the woods are native to the oak forest.

It's the black peacock who mobilized his connections to summon partners from all over the world!

Most of these birds are not taboo in meat and vegetarian food.

In particular, those large mallards rushed forward frantically as if they had been beaten with chicken blood when they saw their tongues.

Everywhere the ducks go.

The tongues that were near the woods were eaten clean!

"There shouldn't be any worries about the Sanctuary of Life......

Matthew let out a sigh of relief.

"It's a pity that these animals can't leave too far from the woods, and the number of birds is still too small compared to the overall size of the tongue army."

"The frontal battlefield on the other side of the cemetery has to find another way."

He then turned around and returned to the cemetery.

At this moment, a large number of tongues have appeared on the ground in the north of the cemetery.

These tongues are spread widely.

They squirmed slowly on the dark ground, like stout worms.

The fire-mourners above the cemetery have begun to throw fireballs below.

The skeletal knife and axe man in the trench is also looking down and scratching his tongue—

It's not easy for them.

In the beginning.

The number of tongues is still relatively rare.

Gradually.

Suddenly a large group of dense tongues appeared under the night ahead!

Those tongues seemed to pop up out of nowhere.

Both in terms of number and size, it is much more exaggerated than what Matthew found in the forest before!

The firepower of the Burners was clearly not enough to cover the entire enemy.

Matthew sat on the magic carpet and sank like water.

These tongues don't seem to have a very direct destructive power, but if they are allowed to enter Rolling Stone, they may be able to cause much trouble.

Matthew was already thinking about whether to break the contract and wake up Eurolin.

But at this time.

Suddenly, he heard Siv's shout.

She was standing at the top of the cemetery hill to greet Matthew.

"Why are you here?"

Matthew was surprised.

Seve put her hands behind her back and her expression was very well-behaved:

"Need help?"

Matthew instinctively wanted to refuse, but he suddenly remembered that the current Sif was no longer what it used to be, so he asked curiously:

"Is there anything you can do to stop those tongues?"

Seve nodded:

"I have some fire-related spells."

Matthew suddenly became interested:

"Then you try?"

But Seve looked at Matthew with a serious face:

"My Warlock bloodline isn't very stable yet, so I can't release quasi-spells steadily."

Matthew smelled a hint of conspiracy.

But he still followed the other party's words and asked:

"So what?"

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Seve blushed and nodded:

"I need a little stimulation."

Matthew is still asking:

"What a thorn ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, a fragrant wind suddenly hit, and an extremely soft touch pressed against his lips.

The slender tail hooked Matthew's waist and wrapped him around the girl's chest.

Long.

The two slowly separated.

Matthew's eyes were still a little dazed.

Seve suddenly pouted:

"The excitement is not enough!"

The next second.

Her tail pulled forward again.

That soft, nice feeling came back to life.

But that's different.

It's not just soft lingering that awaits Matthew this time.

There was also a sharp pain......

"Hiss......"

Matthew endured the pain on his lips.

He could feel Sif's tongue licking at the blood oozing from his lower lip.

That moment.

Her body is getting hot!

……

"Hint: You activated the Blood of Bato of the Daughter of Purgatory, and Siv is entering her second form......
