The elven defenders of Aglan Fortress had fled. With the help of many green dragons and silver pegasi, their remaining troops had all evacuated. However, they were unable to rescue their infected clansmen, so they could only leave them behind. However, under the pleas of the injured, they released a fire before leaving, burying the entire Aglan Fortress in a sea of raging fire.
Firstly, it was to prevent these wounded compatriots from turning into zombie monsters. Secondly, it was because they saw the appearance of the demon army and did not want Aglan Fortress to fall into the hands of the demons. Since they could not defend it, it was better if no one could get it.
Unfortunately, the elves did not expect that Roy did not intend to take Aglan from the beginning.
At this moment, Roy and the others were already close to Aglan Fortress. Watching the elven army leave on the green dragons and silver pegasi, Giovanni came to Roy's side and said eagerly, "Your Excellency, do you want to keep them? My clansmen and I can easily intercept them! "
"No need!" Roy shook his head. There were not many elven troops that had retreated in the end, and Roy could not be bothered to chase after them. He looked at the animal zombies.
Although the fire had burned many animal zombies to death, there were still many left. Roy took out the 'Demon Perfume' he had made earlier, injected magic power into it, and let the smell of the demon perfume spread out.
This demon perfume was originally used to cover up the smell of Julia and the others, but similarly, when Roy made it, he defined it as having the attribute of controlling zombies. This thing contained Roy's demon blood, and under the stimulation of magic power, it could be released as a pheromone.
When the smell of the demon perfume gradually spread out, the animal zombies in Aglan Fortress gradually calmed down from their previous berserk state. They staggered out of Aglan Fortress and gathered toward Roy.
Roy observed that there were many special mutants among these animal zombies. Perhaps because there were more animal zombies, the number of mutants they produced was more than what Roy obtained from Dendera Fortress. Under the effect of the demon perfume, these zombies and mutants gathered around Roy steadily. From time to time, they let out strange roars, but overall, it was relatively quiet.
Roy continuously used his magic power to activate the demon perfume and let the smell spread out. Gradually, he controlled more and more zombies and mutants, so he began to command them to move forward.
The size of the army expanded again, but this time, there were nearly a hundred thousand zombies. They would replace the low-level undead and skeletons as Roy's cannon fodder.
Leaving behind a city burning in flames, Roy led his troops and set off again. After crossing Aglan Fortress, he truly entered Eeofol's territory.
After this mighty army advanced for about three days, the environment they saw became more and more desolate. The sky in Eeofol was dark and gloomy, but this darkness and gloominess were not because of the weather but because of volcanic ash!
Be it Roy, Benia, or the demons in the army, they all felt abnormally comfortable because the familiar smell of sulfur came from the air again.
"After the Sheogh demons occupied Eeofol, they have been transforming the environment here!" Giovanni explained to everyone. "There were originally many volcanoes in Eeofol, and the demons chose to build their base here because they took a fancy to it. In the past two years, they kept detonating volcanoes, and immeasurable volcanic ash rushed into the sky and didn't dissipate for a long time, creating the dark environment here! Now, most of the magma that spewed out has cooled down. Otherwise, it would probably still be very hot here. You have to know that this is only the border … "
Roy nodded and did not say anything. When he first came to Ashan, he had seen the way the demons built cities, so it was not strange.
Although demons seemed to like destruction in the eyes of other creatures, most of the time, they only wanted to create an environment conducive to their survival. This was an instinct for any creature. Unfortunately, the living environment that demons liked was terror and disaster in the eyes of most other creatures.
"Is there a demon city ahead?" Roy asked Giovanni.
Giovanni shook his head. "No. Demon cities are basically built on volcanoes, so if there are no volcanoes, we won't be able to see demon cities!"
Hearing this, Roy could not help but frown. "If there are no cities, how can we determine if the direction is correct? I need a map now! "
"Do you want to release the Demon Eyes?" Julia asked Roy.
Before Roy could answer, Giovanni said, "Your Excellency, leave it to my people. There's no chance to fight now. We vampires can serve as good scouts. There are many people of other races living in this area. We can capture them for questioning."
"People of other races?" Roy was puzzled.
"I've heard of it!" Benia said. "There are many people who worship demons and devils who choose to follow and serve them. In the eyes of others, these people are proper heretics. Since the Sheogh demons have taken root here, these heretics will definitely follow."
"Understood. Then take your people and set off!" Roy said to Giovanni. "Capture some people who can lead the way as soon as possible."
Giovanni nodded. Without seeing him give any orders, the vampires in the team immediately turned into countless large bats and flew in all directions.
The vampires set off to investigate, and Roy led the army to temporarily stop to rest. Due to the environment, it was very difficult for other races to enter Eeofol, so even in Dendera Fortress, Roy could not find any information about Eeofol. Roy had just arrived. Although he wanted to find Xeron, he did not know where Xeron was currently, so he could only think of ways to obtain information.
While he was fixing up, Roy kept thinking.
After coming to this world, his greatest harvest was probably the Sword of Frost. It had prompted his frost ability to evolve, but this sword had come quite unexpectedly, and it could only be regarded as an unexpected harvest. As a demon, collecting and plundering souls would always be an unchanging theme. Compared to the Darksiders world, Roy had obtained fewer souls in the Ashan world this time, so after killing Xeron, he had to obtain as many souls as possible.
In Xeron's hands, Roy guessed that he probably held many souls. After all, not every demon could store souls in the system space like him. Xeron had participated in so many wars, so he must have obtained many souls. It was impossible for him to devour all of them once he obtained them, so he might be like the illusion demon César and use a scroll like the Book of Souls to seal the souls for backup.
Moreover, Xeron was the commander of the demon army. He might squeeze out middle-rank and low-rank demons, but he had to give 'salaries' to the high-rank demons he recruited. Just like Roy now, he definitely had to share some souls with the high-rank demons Roy summoned, so Xeron definitely had many souls in reserve.
In addition, Xeron's current backer was Demon Lord Kha-Beleth. As a demon lord, he was much wealthier than ordinary demons because of his territory. Since Xeron was serving Kha-Beleth, perhaps Kha-Beleth would give him some rewards.
In short, after killing Xeron, he might have a good harvest.
Thinking of Kha-Beleth, Roy could not help but think of himself. Growing to his current strength was inseparable from spending a large number of souls. In the past, when he was alone, the souls he obtained belonged to him, and he could use them however he wanted. But now, as he gradually became stronger, demons like Benia gradually began to join him. He could imagine that after he really became a demon lord, there would definitely be more and more people joining him.
This was like going from a freelancer to the boss of a company. At that time, he definitely had to give his subordinates some benefits, so Roy felt that he could not use up all the souls he obtained in the future at once. He had to leave some for his subordinates to 'pay'.
Of course, with subordinates, there would definitely be more ways to earn souls. Roy gave them salaries, and they had to create profits for him. The advantage of doing this was that he did not need to do everything personally in the future.
While Roy was thinking, he suddenly saw Giovanni's expression change, and then he roared angrily, "Damn it! Who is it?! Who attacked my people?! "
"What's going on?" Roy came back to his senses and asked with a frown.
"Your Excellency!" Giovanni naturally had to suppress his anger in front of Roy, but he still said angrily, "Our vampire swords have a special long-distance communication method. But just now, I sensed that some of the clansmen I sent were attacked and killed!"
"Oh?!" Roy was surprised. "Is it those heretics?"
"It's possible!" Giovanni nodded. "After all, we vampires are undead. The heretics will treat us as enemies without knowing anything. But it's also possible that the one who attacked them is a true demon … I'm not too sure about the specific situation, so I can only go personally."
Roy thought for a moment and said, "Julia, go with Giovanni. Whether the attackers are heretics or demons, capture them all!"
"Yes!" Julia nodded, spread her black flame wings, and flew out first. Seeing this, Giovanni quickly turned into a bat and followed …
