It was obvious that Kha-Beleth was very concerned about Isabel, or rather, the child in her stomach.
Under these circumstances, if anything happened to this unborn child, then Xeron, who was in charge of this matter, would definitely be punished by Kha-Beleth.
But Roy thought about it and found that it was indeed not good to make a fuss about this …
Now, there was only Roy, an outsider, in Ur-Hekal. There was no problem with the child when he did not come, but once he came, there was a problem with the child. No matter how stupid Kha-Beleth was, he could guess that it was Roy. In other words, if he did this, Roy might directly face the anger of a demon lord.
So after thinking about it, Roy temporarily put this idea aside and quietly watched the exchange between Xeron and Kha-Beleth through the Demon Eye to see what Xeron wanted to do.
After Kha-Beleth's image appeared, a dull and hollow voice echoed in the secret room. "Xeron, why did you call me?"
Xeron lowered his head slightly. "Sovereign Kha-Beleth, there's something I need to report to you."
"Speak. Be brief. I'm very busy!" Kha-Beleth said impatiently.
"Your Sovereign, do you still have any impression of the Elder Wars a thousand years ago?" Xeron said. "I wonder if you've heard of a high-rank demon named Osiris?"
Hearing Xeron's words, Roy was shocked.
Of course, he was lying to Xeron when he said that he came from the Elder Wars. According to Roy's thoughts, after so many years, even a faceless like Rafaro could only resurrect as an undead. Then perhaps there were not many people in this world who had participated in the Elder Wars. It was precisely because he knew that Xeron could not verify it that Roy dared to say this.
But how could he have expected that Xeron would choose to consult Demon Lord Kha-Beleth directly? And from his tone, Kha-Beleth was a demon who had participated in the Elder Wars?!
If Kha-Beleth confirmed it and made Xeron realize that he was lying, then he might become even more wary of him …
The reason why Roy wanted to sneak into the demon camp instead of directly fighting Xeron was that Xeron currently controlled too many demon troops. If he did not think of a way to cause chaos within the demon camp and weaken Xeron's forces, it would not be good for Roy to fight head-on …
Just as Roy was feeling nervous, he saw Kha-Beleth think carefully for a while before saying, "Perhaps. There were too many high-rank demons in the Elder Wars, and I don't remember them clearly. Why?"
Hearing Kha-Beleth's answer, Roy heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it had been too long. Even if Kha-Beleth had participated in that war and lived until now, his memory was probably not too clear.
"It's like this, Sovereign Kha-Beleth. A few days ago, a high-rank demon named Osiris came to seek refuge!" Xeron said. "He said that he was a demon sealed during the Elder Wars, but I always feel that this guy is very dangerous. After he and his army arrived, Ur-Hekal has been in a lot of trouble these few days …"
After hearing Xeron's words, Kha-Beleth's flaming eyes stared at him for a long time before finally saying, "I understand. You're here to seek a guarantee from me, right?"
Xeron lowered his head and did not say anything.
Kha-Beleth said irritably, "Don't worry. Since I've chosen you as my executor, I won't recognize that demon named Osiris no matter if he wants to seize your power. Are you satisfied now?"
After receiving this answer, Xeron heaved a sigh of relief and probed, "Sovereign Kha-Beleth, regardless of whether Demon Osiris survived the Elder Wars or not, he is indeed stronger than me. If possible, I hope that you can come forward and deal with him when he goes too far!"
"Sure!" Kha-Beleth said without hesitation. "No matter how powerful he is, he's only a high-rank demon. If he dares to affect my plan because of seizing power, then I'll personally kill him!"
"Yes, Sovereign!" A smug smile appeared on Xeron's lips. "I will definitely ensure that the Dark Messiah will be born smoothly …"
"You'd better do so …" As Kha-Beleth spoke, the image slowly disappeared.
Standing up, Xeron laughed wildly, waking up Queen Isabel on the stone bed. When she saw that it was Xeron, she immediately stared at him with incomparable hatred. Xeron did not mind her hateful gaze.
He stood by the stone bed, bent down, and looked at Isabel. He stretched out his claws to pinch Isabel's chin and said proudly, "Give up, little Isabel. No one knows that you've been captured, and no one will come to save you. If you want to live, you'd better obediently give birth to the Dark Messiah for Sovereign Kha-Beleth. This way, perhaps Sovereign Kha-Beleth will spare your life for the sake of the child. After all, he still needs you to raise this child!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Isabel spat on Xeron's face and shouted hoarsely, "Demon! Your plot won't succeed! Elrath understands everything, and holy light will purify all evil! "
"Hmph. What's the use of shouting these slogans now?" Xeron threw away Isabel's chin and said disdainfully, "If Elrath really understands everything, why don't you see him saving you even though you've been praying day and night? You'd better stay here obediently until you despair! "
Turning around, Xeron reached out and pressed his hand against the mouth of the demon skull. Cracking sounds came, and the stone bed carrying Isabel slowly sank. The ground closed again, isolating Isabel's curses.
"I need more sacrifices …" Xeron muttered to himself. He activated the teleportation again and disappeared from the secret room.
Roy watched from the beginning to the end, but when Xeron left, he did not let the Demon Eye teleport out with him. Instead, he let the Demon Eye remain on standby in the shadow corner because the Demon Eye was a very useful coordinate for Roy. He did not intend to come into contact with Isabel for the time being because he had yet to figure out what kind of security Kha-Beleth had set on Isabel. What if only Xeron could touch and communicate with Isabel?
Roy actually did not know how powerful this rank was, so he had always been very careful and did not want to alarm Kha-Beleth at this time.
Roy tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and began to think about what Xeron and Kha-Beleth meant.
In addition to establishing his position with Kha-Beleth and preventing Roy from usurping power, he was probably also preventing Roy from assassinating him!
In a head-on battle, Xeron had so many troops and subordinates, so he was not afraid of fighting Roy. But Roy's strength surpassed his. If he assassinated Xeron, no matter how many troops he had, it would be useless. Now that Xeron was reporting to Kha-Beleth, he planned to let Kha-Beleth avenge him if Roy really assassinated him.
For Roy, using this method to get rid of Xeron was a little risky. He could not guarantee that after killing Xeron, Kha-Beleth would avenge Xeron or let Roy take his place …
Roy thought about it and felt that he could not gamble on this probability. The birth of the Dark Messiah might be a top priority for Kha-Beleth, but it did not mean that Roy would definitely be able to ascend after Xeron's death. Kha-Beleth could completely kill Roy and let another demon lead the demon camp.
Soon, Roy made a decision. The original plan remained the same.
Previously, he did not know what Xeron's sacrificial ritual was for, but now that he saw Isabel through the Demon Eyes, Roy figured out many things.
Even though Biara was currently pretending to be Queen Isabel in Erathia, she was still a demon after all. Her style of doing things was determined from the standpoint of a demon, so it was easy for others to see through her flaws. Arantir had already suspected Biara, who was pretending to be a queen, and Roy was certain that Arantir was not the only one in Ashan who had such suspicions …
Thinking about it, the dark elf clan that entered Eeofol might also be looking for Isabel!
Although the dark elves were inclined to the evil camp, it did not mean that they were all evil, nor did it mean that they were on the side of demons. Judging from their continuous attacks on Roy's troops, this dark elf clan had their own choices and standpoint …
Perhaps I can take this opportunity to come into contact with this dark elf clan?
With this thought in mind, Roy understood what he should do next, so he waited quietly.
Sure enough, the next day, Xeron sent a messenger and gave Roy an order to bring his troops to eliminate the dark elves.
Xeron did not even want to see Roy and directly sent him away …
Roy did not object. After receiving the order, he immediately brought his troops out of the city and headed for the city where Grawl was.
Although the Shadowbrand clan's attacks on demons had decreased a lot during this period of time, it had only become sporadic and had not been cut off. This meant that although the T-Virus that Roy spread had caused tremendous trouble for the Shadowbrand clan, it had not caused them to fall into a desperate situation. They might have used some special methods to stop the spread of the virus.
Since that's the case, then I'll slowly "clear" them! Roy looked back at Ur-Hekal, which had disappeared, and smiled meaningfully.
… …
On the third day after Roy set off, several enormous armies finally arrived at the canyon where Dendera Fortress and Aglan Fortress were …
