The formation of the alliance army was mainly composed of three countries.
One was the elves of Airy. They had the largest number, and their main battle force was about 250,000. Perhaps it was because the news of the ranger Gelu's death had caused great grief to the elves. In addition, the Sword of Frost had been snatched away, and they had to find a way to take back this important treasure, so the elves could be said to have mobilized on a large scale.
The second was the army of the Kingdom of Bracada. Their main army was about 100,000, but there were more than 300,000 puppet troops following them. Strictly speaking, the Kingdom of Bracada had the most troops, but the combat power of the puppet troops was not high. If one had to say which country suffered the most from the appearance of Demon Osiris, it was indeed the kingdom of Bracada. A city and a fortress had been destroyed, and many heroes had been killed. Even the famous Solmyr's whereabouts were unknown. The people of Bracada were determined to annihilate the demons this time.
As for the last force of the alliance army, it was very unexpected. It was not the human knights of Erathia but … the barbarians!
Barbarians, orcs, stronghold forces, all these names could be used. These orcs with demon bloodlines lived in the world of Ashan similar to the dark elves. They all operated in clans, but unlike the dark elves, the orcs had a common chieftain! This chieftain was equivalent to the king of the humans, allowing the orcs to unite their forces during the war instead of fighting separately.
Although the demons were sealed in Sheogh and were now living in Eeofol, they thought that the demons were weak. In fact, over the past thousand years, the various races of Ashan had basically lost more than they won in the battles against the demon invasions, and the demons were always the victorious side. In most of the wars in this world, it could be said that the demons were fighting against the entire world!
Demons were naturally powerful. Not only did they have the talent to devour souls to grow, but they could also continuously summon reinforcements through the Gates of the Abyss. This was a race born to destroy. Ever since they discovered this world, all the races in this world had been enduring the flames of war and ravages brought by the demons. Their fear and frustration toward the demons had become a basic instinct that was about to be engraved in their bones …
At least, this was the case before the birth of the Beastmen Race.
In the world of Ashan, the orcs had always been recognized as demon hunters. The reason why the mages of Bracada wanted to create these orcs was to resist the invasion of demons. And facts had proved that although this experiment was inhumane, the practical effect was quite good. On the battlefield, their arrival was like a tornado sweeping everything. The demons helplessly found that they could not use their magic to resist the primitive power of the orcs. After inheriting the demon bloodline, the unique bloody and violent power of the orcs and the inseparable unity of the clans allowed them to overthrow the war that originally belonged to the demons, causing the demons to suffer nightmarish massacres and retreat. Behind the terrifying orc army, the races regrouped. Time was now on the side of the allies. They had enough time to formulate defensive and offensive plans, as well as to integrate the new elite orc troops into their plans.
After the orcs joined, the balance of the war tilted towards the Alliance again. This was also one of the reasons why the demons had not completely destroyed this world.
The orcs hated demons extremely. The reason was that after the orcs joined the war, the angry demons refused to admit defeat. They swore that if their army could not survive this war, then the orcs would not either! Their solution was very simple-If the orcs did not have children, they would have no future!
This war strategy of ending their descendants made the orcs pay an enormous price. When the creators of the orcs escorted their slaves to the front lines to fight, the unprotected orc villages were suddenly attacked by the demons at night. When the victorious orc warriors returned to their tribes, their next generation and future hopes had already disappeared.
Even though the orcs later revolted and broke away from the control of the human mages, their vengeful nature still made them hate demons.
The alliance army had actually encountered this orc army by chance. After the demons gained a foothold in Eeofol, they had always made the orcs feel deeply uneasy. Even though the war between the demons and Erathia had temporarily stopped, the orcs were still tirelessly attacking the demon territory. Every once in a while, they would attack Eeofol. Although there were not many troops, they often obtained considerable results.
The leader of the elves this time was the hero Gem. When she encountered the orc army, she immediately realized that this orc army was a powerful help, so she stood her ground and persuaded Gorshak, the leader of the orc army, to let the orcs join the alliance army and prepare to launch a crusade against the demons of Eeofol.
The reason why she stood her ground was because of the Bracadans. Not only did the orcs hate demons, but they also hated these mages. Back then, the Bracadans created them not only to use them to deal with demons but also to use them as slaves. The oppression of the mages had lasted for nearly a hundred years …
It could be imagined how much trouble it would be for these two opposing forces to be in the same alliance army. But due to the existence of the common enemy, demons, they could still maintain harmony for the time being. For this, Gem had put in a lot of effort and effort.
Although the alliance army was very powerful, Gem and the other heroes did not have much confidence. If it was just to deal with the demon named Osiris, then this number of troops would definitely not be a problem. But the problem was that according to the intelligence, Demon Osiris had successfully joined up with the demons of Eeofol.
A powerful demon had joined Eeofol's camp, but the demons had been very low-key during this period of time, as though they had disappeared.
This situation not only did not make the various races of Ashan feel at ease, but they instead became more and more nervous because they could already faintly smell a conspiracy.
Everyone knew that unless the demons were beaten back to Sheogh, it was absolutely impossible for them to lie dormant like this. Their nature did not allow them to do so.
In addition, the current situation of Erathia was confusing. They should have sent troops, but they did not move under Isabel's orders.
All sorts of abnormal phenomena gave the various races of Ashan an ominous premonition. They sought help from the prophets of the Blind Brothers, wanting to obtain some omens about the future. But for some reason, the prophets could not say anything this time. They claimed that an unknown force was blinding their foresight of the future.
Although they could not give specific prophecies and revelations, the prophets still told the various races: Darkness is surging!
Although this revelation could not bring much help to the various races of Ashan, it also made them realize that a new calamity was coming. Therefore, many countries of the alliance were secretly preparing for war.
The alliance army that Gem brought had three missions this time. One was to find a way to eliminate Demon Osiris, the culprit who had destroyed Ulambus, Dendera Fortress, and Aglan Fortress, and wantonly spread the terrifying plague. The second mission was to find a way to retrieve the important treasure, the Sword of Frost.
As for the third mission, Gem needed to attack Eeofol and probe the situation of the demons through war. If possible, it would be best to figure out the true reason why the demons were lying dormant …
When Roy led his troops into the entrance of the dungeon, the alliance army happened to arrive at the original site of Aglan Fortress.
The alliance army did not approach the fortress, nor did they think of entering it to station because they had already seen the large number of vultures circling above the fortress from afar.
Needless to say, the appearance of these scavenging vultures here meant that there were definitely corpses everywhere in Aglan Fortress.
The scouts and spies that were sent out reported what they had seen and heard about Aglan Fortress. What they described was a scene of devastation: the land was already barren, the air was filled with a foul stench, the water source was already polluted, and strange zombie creatures wandered aimlessly …
This situation made the alliance army realize that Aglan Fortress was no longer worth saving.
The reason why they made Gem the hero of the army this time was naturally because they were afraid of the terrifying plague of Demon Osiris. The most terrifying thing about the plague was that it would reduce the effective strength of the alliance army. And Gem was a famous female druid of the elves. What she was best at was using the power of nature to heal troops. Although according to the intelligence, the plague spread by Demon Osiris did not seem to be effective against holy light, the alliance army was confident in Gem's nature spells.
Not only that, but Gem also brought a large number of druid troops …
Of course, the situation in Aglan Fortress was not worth Gem wasting her magic power, but the scouts and spies had captured some zombie creatures. These zombie creatures were for Gem to test if she could dispel the plague.
Gem, who was wearing a green elven cloak, was a gentle female elf with beautiful blonde hair. Facing these zombies, she waved the magic wand in her hand, and a green light shining with starlight descended from the sky and enveloped these zombies.
Under the glow, a rich green light wrapped around the zombies. This green light drilled into the zombies' bodies and began to repair their damaged bodies from the inside out.
A moment later, these zombies all returned to their previous state. They stopped their bloodthirsty roars and fell to the ground together when the green light disappeared.
"Did you fail?" Gorshak, the orc hero, asked Gem in a hoarse voice.
"No!" Gem shook her head. "I succeeded. The great power of nature got rid of the plague on them, but these infected people have been dead for a long time, and their souls have long dissipated or been taken away. I can treat them, but I can't resurrect them … In this regard, the power of nature is indeed inferior to holy light."
"It's good that it can be removed!" The one who spoke was the leader of the army of Bracada, Elemental Master Zehir. This man with a mustache was the son of King Cyrus of Bracada, the mage prince of Bracada! He nodded. "The power of you druids is still useful. This way, the most fearsome power of Demon Osiris is no longer a threat."
Gem shook her head. "I can only guarantee to protect our troops in the war, but the contagion of this plague is too terrifying. Perhaps it won't be long before this plague will spread throughout the entire world of Ashan. Our biggest problem is whether there are enough druids and whether there is time to stop this spread …"
"This is a catastrophe!" Gem sighed and concluded.
