Gan Gan was a Dark Mage, he had always lived in Demon City. He wasn't a member of the Calci Family, it can be said that he didn't have any connection with the family. However, one shouldn't think that he was a simple character. In fact, his ancestor was a Great Mage of an Empire a thousand years ago. His family even had the title of Duke.
However, it was a pity that the Empire that his family protected was destroyed by the Lyon Empire. And because his family's ancestor was too loyal to the Empire, the Lyon Empire found a reason to take back his title. Moreover, the Lyon Empire suppressed his family in many ways. In the end, his family had no choice but to settle down in Shanghai.
In any empire, there would always be a place where the Empire's power would be the strongest. For example, the Lyon Empire's base at the foot of Accra Mountain, or the Buddha Empire's Demon City. Demon City was a very suitable place for Dark Mages to live. Therefore, they decided to settle down in Demon City. Demon City was in the Buddha Empire's territory, and the Buddha Empire's influence was very weak. Therefore, the Dark Mages settled down in Demon City.
However, it was a pity that Demon City wasn't a safe place. A few hundred years ago, Dark Creatures and Undead from the Demonic Abyss rushed out of the Demonic Abyss and attacked Demon City. At that time, Demon City was almost breached. Although Demon City was defended in the end, the Dark Mages and Adventurers inside the city suffered heavy losses. This was also the worst loss that the Gan Clan suffered. In the end, the Gan Clan, who was a very strong force in Demon City, slowly declined.
Now, the entire Gan Clan only had a dozen Dark Mages. But even so, no mercenary group or force in Demon City dared to underestimate them. This was because the Gan Clan's Dark Magic was very strong. Most importantly, the Gan Clan had always regarded Demon City as their home. Because of this, their status in Demon City was very high. Mercenary groups and other forces were very respectful towards the Gan Clan. If there was a conflict, they would even ask the Gan Clan to come forward and mediate.
Wei Gan was just a magician in the family. He wasn't the head of the family, nor was he the successor. He was just an ordinary magician in the family.
The Buddha Empire had already informed them about what was happening in the Demonic Abyss. The Empire was currently gathering their troops in Demon City. At the same time, they also requested the Gan Family to come forward and invite the Adventurers and Dark Mages to stay behind and defend Demon City.
The Gan Family didn't disappoint the Buddha Empire. They went around to persuade the mercenaries and adventurers. In the end, most of the forces in Demon City remained.
Not only that, the Gan Family also sent out their Mages to help the army patrol the city walls. Because Dark Mages were very sensitive to Dark Energy, with Dark Mages helping the army patrol the city walls, the army would have a much easier time.
It must be said that Demon City was very strange. The entire city was built to guard the Demonic Abyss. Just from the name of the Demonic Abyss, one would know that it was an abyss. As for how deep it was, nobody knew. Everyone who wanted to explore the depths of the abyss was unable to come out.
How big was the Demonic Abyss? There were people who had seen it before. The Demonic Abyss was actually a huge fissure in the ground. This fissure was about ten thousand li long, and the widest part was about two thousand li wide. Aside from Demon City, which had a gentle slope leading to the surface, the other places were cliffs that Magic Beasts couldn't climb. Most importantly, the Demonic Abyss was covered in Dark Mist all year round, making it impossible for people to see what was inside.
It was because of this that Demon City was able to exist. If one were to talk about the oldest city in the continent, then Demon City could be considered as one of them. From the day the Demonic Abyss appeared, Demon City had already existed. As for how many years it had been, nobody could keep track of it. In any case, no matter how wars were fought in the continent, almost nobody dared to touch Demon City. This was because Demon City didn't have any regular army to defend it. Instead, there were only mercenaries, adventurers, and Dark Mages. They seemed to be a group of people who didn't belong to this world. It was precisely because of this group of people that they guarded the Demonic Abyss all year round. These people lived in the Demonic Abyss, but at the same time, they also guarded the Demonic Abyss. Because of this, the people of the continent had very complicated feelings towards the Demonic Abyss.
On this day, Wei Gan was still on top of the city wall. Actually, his current position wasn't the eastern wall of the Demonic Abyss. In other words, this wall wasn't directly facing the Demonic Abyss. Instead, it was facing the other side of the city wall. This wall was very safe, but Wei Gan was still patrolling. This was because the people of the Buddha Empire had warned him that there might be Demons that had already infiltrated the continent.
Wei Gan looked at the army around him. Although these people weren't the most elite cavalry of the Buddha Empire, they still knew what they were here for. Because of this, their expressions were very serious.
At this moment, Wei Gan suddenly felt that there was a huge mass of dark energy flying towards them. It should be a dark creature.
The Gan Family's Dark Magic was different from the Dark Magic of the continent. They were very sensitive to dark energy. Therefore, when Gan Gan felt this energy, he immediately thought of the Buddha Empire's warning. He immediately became nervous as he loudly said, "Everyone pay attention, a dark creature is flying towards us from the continent. It's very strong, be on guard!" The Gan Family's Dark Magic was very different from the Dark Magic of the continent.
Although the Buddha Empire didn't send their most elite cavalry to Demon City, they were still elites of the local army. Moreover, they were told that the Dark Mages of Demon City were very good at dealing with dark creatures. Because of this, the status of the Dark Mages in Demon City was very high in the Buddha Empire's army. When they heard Wei Gan's shout, the army immediately went into action. Magic cannons, ballistas, and even ballistas were all set up.
Just as they were ready, a black dot appeared in the distance. Then it flew towards them at a very fast speed. These people became nervous, especially the ballistas. They looked at the black dot, this was because the ballistas were their only defensive weapon. Since the other party was flying towards them, they were the only ones who could attack.
The black dot slowly became bigger and bigger. Before long, the people on the wall could see what it was. But when they saw the black dot, whether it was the Buddha Empire's soldiers or the Dark Mages, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The black dot turned out to be a Bone Dragon. On top of the Bone Dragon's head was an ordinary looking Dark Mage.
However, there wasn't a single person in Demon City who didn't know who this person was. Perhaps they hadn't seen this person before, but this didn't prevent them from recognizing his identity. Zhao Hai Buda, the Buda Clan's Patriarch, the Lyon Empire's Emperor, and the continent's strongest Dark Mage!
At this point, Zhao Hai was recognized as the continent's strongest Dark Mage. No matter which Empire they were from, they all knew this. With his strength, he managed to slay a Dragon. With his strength, he was able to discover the Demon Race's plot and become the Lyon Empire's Emperor. This made all the Dark Mages in the continent worship him as a God. For these Dark Mages, Zhao Hai was an aloof and remote God that looked down on them.
Zhao Hai took a good rest inside the Space. Then he arranged some work for Laura and the others before leaving the Space. He had already seen the situation in Demon City. Because of this, he came out of the Space and stood on top of the Bone Dragon's head. It was a very flashy appearance. Zhao Hai didn't think too much about the situation in Demon City. Because of this, he came out of the Space and stood on the Bone Dragon's head.
When he saw Demon City's walls, Zhao Hai didn't immediately fly inside. Instead, he had the Bone Dragon land outside the city. Then he walked down from the Bone Dragon's head and received the Bone Dragon. Then he slowly walked towards Demon City's walls.
At the same time, the garrison on the walls of Demon City also reacted. An officer immediately shouted to the garrison at the gate, "Quick, open the gate, quick!" While saying that, he ran down the walls. Unexpectedly, the one running in front of him was Wei Gan.
This unremarkable magician from the Gan family was now running faster than a 7th level warrior. This caused the soldiers to look at Gan Gan in a strange way. They didn't know if Gan Gan was a magic warrior who practiced both magic and martial arts.
Naturally, Wei Gan wasn't a Warrior, he was just a Mage. The reason why he was able to run so fast was because he was too excited. When the army arrived, they were told that Zhao Hai would personally come to Demon City. These people were very excited. For Dark Mages, being able to see Zhao Hai with their own eyes was a great thing. However, there were still a lot of people who didn't believe it. In their opinion, who was Zhao Hai? The Buda Clan's Patriarch, and the current Emperor of the Lyon Empire. Although they had just received this news, they still knew that Zhao Hai had slaughtered a Dragon in the Lyon Empire. Therefore, they weren't surprised by this news. Why would such a person personally come to Demon City?
For these people who had been living in Demon City for a long time, people like Zhao Hai were all high and mighty existences. It was impossible for them to do anything too dangerous, even if it was for the sake of the entire continent. Because of this, many people didn't believe that Zhao Hai would come. They only thought that the Buddha Empire was trying to comfort them. However, these people still chose to stay in Demon City. This was because they considered Demon City as their home. They wanted to protect their homeland. No matter what the Nobles said, they would still protect their homeland.
They didn't have the noble sentiments of protecting the Human Race or the entire continent. For them, the war against the Demons was just to protect their homeland, it was very simple.
