Roy left with Julia and Fat Tiger. After the Sky Storm Altar crashed and destroyed Ulambus, there was nothing in this city that could stop Roy.
However, when Roy left, he did not take the seven Dragon Balls with him. To Roy, the true function of the seven Dragon Balls was to guide him back to this world. Now that he had successfully come here, the Dragon Balls were useless.
Moreover, Roy was certain that after this battle, the matter of gathering the Dragon Balls and summoning a demon would soon spread throughout the entire world. At that time, the forces of the righteous and good camp of Ashan would probably destroy these Dragon Balls at all costs.
Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that some ambitious fellows who wanted to borrow the power of demons would do everything possible to dig out the Dragon Balls … But no matter what, Roy had achieved his goal, and he did not care about the rest.
Among the bookshelves that Julia brought out of the library, Roy successfully found a military map of the kingdom of Bracada. After careful identification, Roy finally determined his location. His previous worries were indeed reasonable. This city of Ulambus was a hinterland city in the kingdom of Bracada. Judging from the map, there were two larger cities on the road leading to the border of Bracada. They were fortress cities that they had amassed heavy troops to defend. The reason why Ulambus had fewer troops and fewer population was that this city had been continuously sending troops to the fortress cities in front of it.
After discovering this, Roy was quite glad. If there were tens or even hundreds of thousands of Academy troops in this city, it would probably not be so easy for him to escape …
Now that Ulambus had been destroyed, this situation would definitely anger the kingdom of Bracada. In addition, his identity as a demon would definitely attract their attention and send troops to encircle and annihilate him. Therefore, it was wise not to stay in this city and wait for death.
After carefully studying the map and some documents, he found that it would be a little troublesome if he wanted to go east to the newly established kingdom of Eeofol. If he went straight, he needed to pass through an enormous desert. This desert was called the Desert of Death on the map, and it was an important barrier between the kingdom of Bracada and Eeofol. It was precisely because of the existence of this desert that the demon army could not invade Bracada.
This Desert of Death was enormous, and it was said to have an area of more than a million square kilometers. Even if Roy and the others flew with wings, it would be difficult for them to pass through this desert.
However, there was an advantage to taking the Desert of Death. It was that he could completely avoid the armies and cities of Bracada. Roy estimated that if the kingdom of Bracada wanted to encircle him, they would definitely send a message to the fortress cities in front of them in advance to get them to prepare to face him, a demon. Roy only had two helpers, Julia and Fat Tiger, by his side. Encountering such a heavily guarded city with a large number of troops, he would not be able to rush through no matter what.
Therefore, without thinking too much, Roy and the others set off.
… …
While Roy and the others were flying away, the escaped Galib appeared on a teleportation platform in Silver City, the capital of Bracada.
As soon as he came out, this alchemist hero, who had advanced from a djinn, immediately floated toward the Elder Council. His flustered appearance made the mages and mage apprentices who saw him along the way look at him in surprise with their mouths wide open.
At this moment, in the hall of the Council of Elders, the secret mages who ruled the entire kingdom of Bracada were holding a meeting. There were iron golems patrolling outside the hall, and two tall titans stood on the left and right of the hall as guards. When Galib stumbled and wanted to rush in, he was stopped by the titan.
"Get lost!" Galib said angrily to the titans. "I have important news to report!"
Upon hearing this, the Titans looked at each other in dismay, but still let him in. Meanwhile, Galib barged into the conference hall after passing through the gate.
With a bang, the sound of him knocking open the door attracted the mages in the hall to go over in surprise. Before they could ask, Galib shouted, "Demon! A powerful demon has appeared in Ulambus! Nathir has died in battle. We need to send troops immediately! "
Galib's words caused an uproar in the entire hall, and the mages, who were originally slow, immediately became nervous.
"What's going on? Galib, slow down! "a mage elder presiding over the meeting said to him." Why did a demon suddenly appear? "
Galib calmed his breathing and said, "It's the Dragon Balls! The Dragon Balls that we collected some time ago were simply a scam! Those damn beads probably have nothing to do with the seven dragons but are spatial coordinates! When we tried to study these beads, a Gate of the Abyss opened! A powerful demon appeared first, followed by a fallen angel and a … gigantic three-headed hellhound! "
Although Galib was in the Sky Storm Altar at that time and not on the square, he had already figured it out during his escape. It was understandable that a demon was sealed in the Dragon Balls, but then a fallen angel and a gigantic hellhound appeared. No matter how he looked at it, it was a little wrong. The dark portal did not look like a spatial channel when the seal was undone but more like a Gate of the Abyss that demons used to summon and teleport troops.
"What?!" The mages were shocked and quickly asked, "Are you sure it's a Gate of the Abyss?!"
"Most likely!" Galib nodded.
"Damn it!" A white-bearded elder mage could not help but smash his fist on the table in front of him and curse, "How could you so rashly experiment?!"
It was not that the mages of Bracada were making a mountain out of a molehill. There was a reason why they were so afraid of the appearance of demons now.
In the history of Ashan, in the 40th year of the Seventh Dragon, the Seventh Dragon, Sar-Elam, used his life as the price to seal the demons in the underground world of Sheogh. Since then, the demons could only move on the surface on the day of a lunar eclipse, and the key to the seal was Sar-Elam's own skull-the divine artifact Shadow Skull. This divine artifact had incomparably powerful power and had always firmly suppressed the demons in the underground mystic realm.
In order to prevent the demons from using the lunar eclipse to escape from Sheogh, the nuns of the Blind Brothers of Ashan had always assumed the responsibility of prophets, calculating and predicting the time of every lunar eclipse. Once a lunar eclipse was about to arrive, they would warn the various races of Ashan to guard against the invasion of the demon army.
However, in Year 969 of the Seventh Dragon's Era, which was also the first time Roy was summoned to this world, the sixth lunar eclipse in the history of the Seventh Dragon's Era occurred. But this was a lunar eclipse that the prophets did not prophesize!
The appearance of this lunar eclipse caught the various races of Ashan off guard. The demons of Sheogh swarmed out and attacked and destroyed cities one after another on the continent, especially the kingdom of Erathia. The demons had joined forces with the dungeons and the dark elves to attack them, and the entire country almost fell.
Although four years had passed and the invasion of the demons had been temporarily repelled, the demons were not expelled back to Sheogh. Instead, they occupied a territory in the surface world and established the kingdom of Eeofol.
After that, the mages of Bracada had been studying the demon invasion. They investigated and found that the reason why the prophets of the Blind Brothers did not predict the sixth lunar eclipse was that this lunar eclipse was artificially created. Demon Lord Kha-Beleth, who led the enormous demon army of Sheogh, seemed to be plotting an incomparably huge conspiracy!
After the demon invasion temporarily subsided, the various races on the continent were not having a good time. For example, the kingdom of Erathia was currently in a state of division. The domestic forces were now divided into the empress faction and the nephew faction, and the ruling power of the kingdom had yet to be decided … The mages knew that it was very likely that the next round of demon invasions was coming, so they had been trying to figure out what Kha-Beleth and his demons wanted to do. This caused them to involuntarily feel nervous whenever they heard the word 'demon'.
Now that the major problem of Eeofol's demon had yet to be resolved, a group of stupid mages in Ulambus actually dared to experiment recklessly at this critical juncture and attracted another powerful demon. If this matter were to spread, the kingdom of Bracada would probably be condemned by all the races on the continent just like the last time it caused the orc incident …
There was a commotion in the council hall, and the elders in charge of presiding over the meeting had no choice but to bang the hammer on the table desperately before the noise finally quieted down.
"Silence! Silence! It's already happened, and it's useless to pursue responsibility. What we need to discuss now is how to make up for this matter! " An elder stood up and said loudly, "I suggest that we immediately send troops to reinforce Ulambus!"
"Seconded! We must strangle that demon within the borders of the kingdom before he obtains an army! "
"Yes! We can't let this news spread! "
The mages quickly made a decision. But before they could discuss how many troops to send, another djinn barged into the meeting, and the news he brought left the mages dumbfounded.
Ulambus has actually been destroyed?!
Hearing this news, the mages present could not help but feel their vision turn black.
It's over! The news of a city being destroyed absolutely could not be hidden!
Silence. The scene was silent. After a long time, an Elder finally sighed. "Report this news to the kingdom of Erathia and the forest elves of Iroland. At the same time, send an order to all the fortresses and border cities to prevent the demons from passing through. Once discovered, they must eliminate the demons at all costs! If this powerful demon goes to Eeofol and obtains an army, I'm afraid the power of the demons will expand to an unimaginable level … "
"But will the demon cross the Desert of Death to go to Eeofol?" Someone suddenly said. "If he passes through the Desert of Death, then we'll be helpless."
"Don't worry. Some time ago, there was information that traces of Necromancer Arantir were found in the Desert of Death. Although the undead of Heresh have always been at odds with us, Arantir is indeed a true wise man. He's a loyal believer of Asha, and he's the same as us when facing demons. If that demon really chooses to go through the Desert of Death, then Arantir will definitely take action …"
