Maybe it was because she had been with Søren for a long time, Gloria was also more aggressive in her way of doing things.
On the same day, she ordered Saruman to plant a large number of mutant man-eating plants near the valley, and then gathered the labor force in the nearby towns to build a large military camp outside. An elite legion of Mordor City would be stationed here, and it would also be the frontline to defend against the attack of the bottomless abyss. The sudden attack of the demons made Mordor City panic, but Søren had already made arrangements for this kind of thing before he left. So soon, other news began to spread in Mordor City.
The demons are about to attack our world!
The news spread throughout the city of Mordor at an amazing speed, and then other news quickly spread to the port area.
First of all.
Not only Mordor City was attacked by the demons, but other places on the continent were also attacked by the demons. The farther places were not clear, but a medium-sized town near the City of Wealth seemed to be called Roland Town or something. It had been completely destroyed by the sudden attack of the demons. Not only Roland Town, which was close to the City of Wealth, but there were also towns near Shipwreck Bay and Port Tylon that were attacked by demons. But unlike Modor City, their losses were very heavy, and there were almost no survivors. They had to wait until other places responded, and under the mobilization of many churches, nobles, organizations, and so on, these demons were fully eliminated.
In contrast, the loss of Mordor City was negligible.
The most serious one was Roland Town, which had a population of more than 10,000, and only a few hundred people escaped. Now it was still a wasteland, and the Church of Wealth launched a clean-up against the demons. But unfortunately, a Balor had descended there, so the land had not been recaptured so far. The Balor had already made it his base camp in the material plane. Recent intelligence showed that the Balor seemed to have opened the portal to the abyss, and a steady stream of low-level demons were descending.
The Balor was a demon close to the Lord level.
If it really intended to cause trouble in the material plane, it would not be difficult to catch thousands of demon cannon fodder from the bottomless abyss.
In order to defeat the powerful Balor, the Chosen of the Church of Wealth was probably needed.
High grade Chosen could also enter the Saint form!
Søren didn't want to waste his divinity, so he didn't give much divinity to his only Chosen (the half-elf girl). If he gave enough divinity and divine power, he would be able to cultivate a Saint-level Chosen.
As soon as the news circulated.
The panic caused by the demon invasion seemed to have lessened a lot, and it was replaced by a more active state of preparation for war.
Oh!
It turned out that Mordor City was not the only city that was attacked by demons! It turned out that other places were also being attacked by the demons!
Our losses will be much lower.
Not only was the attack of the demons completely defeated, the civilians were basically unharmed!
Oh!
No wonder Sir Søren had suddenly ordered them to prepare for battle. It turned out that the great Sir had already foreseen this situation!
With Sir Søren's foresight, he should be able to survive this crisis, right?
Oh!
I heard that the mainland has suffered heavy losses!
Like I said, how can the nobles of those places be comparable to Mordor City? If they were attacked by demons, it would be strange if they did not suffer heavy losses!
I heard that the City Hall is enacting a conscription law! Should we sign up as well?
…
People's thoughts were just that interesting.
If only Mordor City was attacked by demons, perhaps Mordor City would enter a period of decline all of a sudden. Many merchants and civilians might choose to escape from here.
But!
After knowing that not only Mordor City was attacked by demons, but other places were also attacked by demons, and the losses were much more serious than Mordor City.
These people fell silent all of a sudden.
Not only did the population of Mordor City not leave, but many merchants also quietly transferred their property to Mordor City.
Chaos was coming.
Before the outbreak of the chaos, people with a little foresight realized that only strong enough force could guarantee the safety of their lives and property. Therefore, during this period of time, many merchants from other places tried to bribe, donate, and befriend officials, hoping to get a household registration in Mordor City, and then transfer their property here legitimately. The first phase of the census of Mordor City had ended, and the population with official citizenship was less than 56,000 people.
Although the real population of Mordor City had reached more than 100,000 people, the other people in Mordor City could only be regarded as floating outsiders, the native or mainland slave class, and the unregistered residents who sneaked in to make a living.
Søren did not intend to expand the size of the citizen class because the rights of the citizen class also represented obligations.
At least now, those who could obtain citizenship were people with skills.
Søren's iron fist rule maintained a firm order in Mordor City. The attack of the demons only made the atmosphere of the many elite legions, who had no opponents for a while, tense up. The knights of Mordor City had finally made a name for themselves. In the tavern, people could often be seen bragging about their battles with the demons. The other legions who were secretly competing with each other did not have time to participate in the battle, but many people were eager to have a chance to fight, and then tell those bragging cavalries that defeating the demons was nothing.
If you can do it, I can do it too!
The factions in Mordor City had been formed, and a lot of things had happened secretly. Because of Søren's strong rule, there was no excessive struggle.
This kind of thing was also not allowed.
Otherwise, Søren would not mind carrying out another big purge. Many pirate leaders were very clear about Søren's cruel means.
…
At the same time.
It was finally time for Søren, who was thousands of kilometers away from the mainland, to leave.
A lot of things happened these days with the Goddess of Magic. Some things could not be explained in detail, and even some secret things could not be mentioned. The world of the gods was full of unknown mysteries. For some secrets, Søren directly communicated with the Goddess of Magic through his mind, and he did not even use a word of language. After they left the Misty Forest, they headed for the City of Knowledge, which was the territory of the God of Knowledge and had the largest library in the material plane.
They stayed here for three days, and then Søren and the Goddess of Magic left, while Ildis stayed here alone to look up some important information.
Ildis had been in a bad mood recently.
Since leaving the Misty Forest, he felt that he had become estranged from the Midnight Lady. Although she might be a little mean, it seemed that he was no longer of much use to the Midnight Lady.
The calm legendary witch's attitude toward him suddenly became a lot colder.
Although she would still give him advice, Ildis found that the Midnight Lady rarely smiled at him. On the contrary, when facing Wizard Sony (Søren's alias), the number of times she smiled became more and more.
He felt as if he had been marginalized.
Several times, he vaguely noticed that Wizard Sony was discussing something important with the Midnight Lady. They stopped immediately after seeing him, but there was still eye contact.
This discovery made him feel extremely depressed, and he inexplicably felt that he had lost something very important.
However.
Fortunately, his strength had recently improved by leaps and bounds, and he was about to reach the edge of the legendary wizard. At the same time, he also got the news of the artifact [Mage's Staff].
Ildis felt that if he entered the realm of legends, he might be able to regain the favor of the Midnight Lady.
In his opinion, although the Midnight Lady's strength was unfathomable, she should still be in the realm of legendary spellcasters. If he also entered the realm of legends, they would be in a relatively equal position, and he might be able to pursue the Midnight Lady legitimately.
The Midnight Lady was not only mysterious, but also beautiful.
Ildis himself did not know why, but he felt that he should have a closer relationship with her.
Unfortunately.
This idea was thwarted after coming to the Knowledge City, because Ildis accidentally found out that the Midnight Lady entered Wizard Sony's room in the middle of the night, and then only came out in the early morning of the next day.
This discovery made Ildis feel as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole body was stunned for a long time before he returned to his room in frustration.
Until now, he did not understand why Wizard Sony suddenly became so close to the Midnight Lady.
Was it because of what happened in the Misty Forest?
Ildis did not know.
He did not even know what the Midnight Lady did in Wizard Sony's room for a night, but he could see that the magic power of Wizard Sony was getting stronger and stronger.
Without a doubt!
At the same time when he was receiving guidance from the Midnight Lady, Wizard Sony also received a lot of benefits from the Midnight Lady.
Those benefits were indescribable with words.
Occasionally, when Wizard Sony cast a spell, Ildis even felt that Wizard Sony's skill and understanding of magic was even higher than his, even though Wizard Sony did not even seem to have touched the door of a legendary wizard.
Ildis was very depressed.
But after all, he was not a person who was easily frustrated, so after the two of them left, he immediately put all his energy into the research of spells.
Before the Midnight Lady left, he received a secret knowledge about the Knowledge City.
If he could successfully master and master it, he would definitely enter the realm of legends. Before the Midnight Lady left, she also entrusted him with a task.
Ildis felt that if he could complete it, he might be able to gain a lot of favor from the Midnight Lady.
Maybe.
He could take this opportunity to go one step further because the more he communicated with the Midnight Lady, the more thorough his understanding of the Weave would be. Sometimes, Ildis even suspected that the Midnight Lady was a high-grade legendary spellcaster like the Eye of the North.
Such a person.
Even in the Wizard City, she had an absolutely high status, and it would be very beneficial for his future.
As for what Søren got from the Midnight Lady, it was a secret that could not be said.
