This was … a show of force!
Yes, Roy knew very well that as a foreign demon, if he wanted to attract the other party's attention, he had to show his strength!
In a group of demons, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger usually didn't work. Demons would only recognize and respect those who were stronger than them. If you performed poorly, then what awaited you was disregard, contempt, and enslavement.
Clearly, Roy had achieved his goal. The high-rank demon heroes looked at Roy with fear on their faces. They did not dare to show anger at Roy's arrogant 'greeting'.
Even Xeron himself was bewildered at this moment because he could feel that the magic power pressure Roy released just now seemed to be slightly higher than his …
"Who are you, Your Excellency?" Xeron asked as he sized up Roy.
"My name is Osiris!" Roy replied, "There are also my two followers, the fallen angel Julia and the succubus Benia!"
As soon as he heard Roy's name, Xeron was clearly shocked, and his pupils constricted.
Osiris was a name that Xeron would never forget. He had grown up from a little demon for hundreds of years, and he had never suffered such a big loss! He was a dignified elite high-rank demon, but a low-rank demon had schemed against him and caused him to die once.
This stupid thing definitely could not be hidden. It could be said that Xeron had now become the laughing stock of the Abyss! And the reason why he spared no effort to inquire about Roy in the Abyss was to wash away his shame.
The shame of demons could only be eliminated with the blood of enemies! If Xeron had not killed Demon Osiris, then the other demons would have mocked him for the rest of his life!
Just like now, when they heard Roy introduce himself, the high-rank demon heroes behind Xeron could not help but be stunned for a moment before looking at Xeron strangely.
Is it just the same name? Xeron's eyes flickered as he looked at Roy, but his demon claws were already clenched into fists under his cloak.
The names of demons were brought with them when they were born. Their names were inherited from their parents and even a few generations before them, so the true names of demons were often very long. Under such circumstances, the probability of having duplicate names was quite high. When demons announced their names to the outside world, they would only use one of the names to call themselves, which also led to the phenomenon of duplicate names.
This was why Xeron was uncertain. In his impression, that strange little demon Osiris had only been in the Abyss for a few short years. Even if he did not die in the Abyss, he would at most promote to middle-rank demon. And the strength that Roy was displaying now was seriously inconsistent with that little demon.
When Roy reported his name, he did not deliberately look at Xeron. He looked very indifferent, as though he had never seen Xeron before.
Seeing Xeron's bewildered expression, Roy frowned and said unhappily, "What's wrong? What's wrong with my title? Why are you looking at me like that? Or have you heard my name before? "
"Okay, Demon Osiris …" Xeron came back to his senses. "Where did you come from? The Abyss? Then who summoned you? "
Before Xeron could answer, Grawl, who had not dared to speak, finally seized the opportunity and introduced, "Your Excellency Xeron, Osiris is a demon who was sealed during the Elder Wars and only escaped the seal not long ago."
"Is that so?" This statement stunned Xeron for a moment.
Grawl, a high-rank demon hero, had actually only joined the demon camp not long ago, and his status was not high. Otherwise, Xeron would not have sent him out to patrol. It was precisely because he had not joined for long that Grawl did not know about Xeron's past foolishness like the demons who had followed him for a long time. As a result, Grawl did not have any reaction when he heard Roy's name. Instead, he felt excited that he could bring back a powerful demon helper for Xeron, so he deliberately mentioned Roy's identity, hoping to attract Xeron's attention.
He was even looking forward to what kind of reward Xeron would give him …
At this moment, Roy said, "I've been sealed for too long. If not for those stupid bookworm mages of Bracada, I might not have been able to get out of my predicament so quickly. So in order to thank them, I directly destroyed one of their cities after escaping. Oh, by the way, that city seems to be called Ulambus. You can go and verify it."
Hearing this, a demon hero behind Xeron was stunned for a moment before whispering something into Xeron's ear.
Xeron nodded as he listened. From this demon hero's narration, he knew that what Roy said was true. Although Xeron and his demon army had been holed up in Eeofol and had not gone out during this period of time, they still had the corresponding intelligence gathering. It was just a little delayed. It had been a long time since Roy destroyed Ulambus, but this information had only reached Eeofol not long ago.
"Although a long time has passed, I'm still a member of the demons after all. So after receiving news of you from Ulambus, I crossed the Desert of Death and came to Eeofol!" Roy continued. "But I encountered a necromancer on the way and kept pestering me, so I didn't kill him and the defenders of Dendera Fortress until I walked out of the Desert of Death and arrived at the border!"
"What?! You destroyed Dendera Fortress? "a demon hero behind Xeron exclaimed in surprise." Is what you said true? "
Being in Eeofol, how could demons not know about Dendera Fortress and Aglan Fortress? These two fortresses were firmly stuck at the northern exit of Eeofol. Demons had discussed more than once that they had to get rid of these two fortresses first if they wanted to invade Erathia next time. But these two fortresses had numerous troops and solid defenses, and it was not easy for demons to take them down.
But now, they heard that Dendera Fortress had been taken care of?!
"Not only did I destroy Dendera Fortress, but I also destroyed Aglan Fortress!" Roy was lying through his teeth. Aglan Fortress had been destroyed by a tide of animal zombies, but Roy did not hesitate to take the credit for it.
This time, the demons were even more surprised. Xeron asked doubtfully, "Is what you said true?"
"You can go and verify it!" Roy nodded affirmatively, but then he frowned. "However, your intelligence is very backward. It's just something that happened at the border. It's been a few days, but you still don't know?"
A demon hero said awkwardly, "We really haven't paid attention to the situation of those two fortresses during this period of time …"
Grawl stood up and nodded. "Indeed, Your Excellency Osiris. Just like when you met me, we were being harassed by the dark elves, and we really couldn't divert our attention to investigate the situation."
"Then you don't have to worry now!" Roy pretended to grumble, but then he eagerly said, "I've already destroyed these two fortresses. When will the next invasion begin? I can't wait to harvest souls! "
The group of demon heroes behind looked at each other. Wow, I didn't expect this guy named Osiris to be a war maniac …
While Roy was speaking, Xeron did not say anything. To be honest, he was still a little puzzled, so he had been carefully sizing up Roy, trying to find some familiar traces on him.
However, Roy's appearance had changed greatly from low-rank demon to now. His once fiery red skin had turned light green due to the awakening of his frost demon bloodline. Not only did the demon wings on his back become two pairs, but there were also many demon runes on them. It was absolutely impossible for Xeron to find the same parts as the low-rank demon Osiris in his impression.
Unless … Unless Roy used Bloodlust right in front of him.
After all, Xeron had died under Roy's Bloodlust. He would always remember the red light on those dragons and the strange background music …
"Hey!" While Xeron was still thinking, Roy suddenly said in dissatisfaction, "Damn it, who are you? I told you my demon name, but I don't know yours. Do you have any objections to me? "
Xeron was a little speechless, but he still introduced himself. The demon heroes behind him also stepped forward and reported their names to Roy.
After getting to know each other, Roy asked, "Okay, Your Excellency Xeron, since you're the current commander of the demon camp, how will you arrange for me and my men?"
Xeron looked at Roy and the army behind him. Those ordinary demons were easy to deal with, but among the people Roy brought, he was not the only high-rank demon. There were also many powerful existences. The enormous spectral dragon and the strange three-headed hellhound made Xeron realize that this was an army with powerful combat strength.
This made Xeron have to be more cautious when making arrangements. With Roy's strength, he had to give him a relatively high status. Otherwise, if Roy was not satisfied, it was very likely that he would leave with the army. That would be a loss for the demons.
But at this moment, Xeron's gaze swept to Benia behind Roy. He did not pay much attention to Roy's introduction, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered and his pupils constricted. "Wait, the succubus under you is called Benia?!"
"That's right!" Roy nodded. "She joined me when I attacked Dendera Fortress!"
"Damn it, do you have a sister named Biara?!" Xeron asked while glaring at Benia.
"That's right!" Benia raised her chin proudly. "Biara is my sister, but you don't have to worry. I'll kill her soon!"
With Xeron's reminder and Benia's own admission, the other demon heroes looked at Benia in surprise. Of course, they had heard Biara mention that she had such a sister. Not long ago, Biara had secretly sent a piece of information, informing them of her sister's escape, and asked them to help find her and then think of a way to kill her sister. The demon heroes did not take it to heart, but they did not expect to meet her here.
What made everyone feel the most uncomfortable was that Benia had actually joined Demon Osiris!
In other words, if they accepted Demon Osiris, they had to accept Benia. But what if Biara returned and discovered this situation?
Both sides wanted to kill each other. Once there was a conflict, it would be equivalent to them having a conflict with Osiris!
Internal strife! This term immediately appeared in the minds of the demon heroes, and then they all looked at Xeron, wanting to see what decision he would make …
