Recently, the world of Ashan could be said to be full of bad news.
From the replacement of Queen Isabel of Erathia to the arrival of Osiris, then the fall of Dendera Fortress and Aglan Fortress, the deaths of Arantir, Solmyr, and Gelu, the loss of the Sword of Frost, the contamination of the earth's water source by the zombie plague, the birth of the Dark Messiah, the death of Demon Lord Kha-Beleth, and Osiris became the new demon lord.
These numerous major incidents had occurred in a short period of over two months, and it had simply caught the various clans off guard and were too much for the eyes to take in.
Before the various races could recover from the information brought back by Gem and Zehir, they now received reports that the demon army had walked out of Eeofol and was attacking the kingdom of Heresh on a large scale. For a moment, the representatives of the various races in the joint council were in chaos, arguing endlessly with their own opinions.
Yes, after realizing that the crisis of the demon invasion was approaching again, the various races of Ashan held another joint meeting to gather strength to deal with the crisis. However, the various parties could not reach an agreement on how to deal with the kingdom of Heresh.
As living beings, the various races had an instinctive rejection of undead. They had always thought that the necromancers who controlled the dead in Heresh were synonymous with gloom and evil. Not only the Silver City, which had expelled and persecuted the necromancers, but almost all the races that considered themselves to be orderly did not have any good impression of the undead.
Therefore, when they learned that the demons had invaded Heresh, most of the representatives felt that this was a dog-eat-dog war, and they did not need to intervene to save those ghastly necromancers.
But a small number of representatives believed that no matter what, the undead were native creatures of this world. When facing visitors from another world like demons, they should unite and support them.
The two sides argued endlessly on this point of view …
If Arantir were still alive, perhaps he could rely on his reputation to deal with it. After all, no matter what, at least in history, the kingdom of Heresh had contributed to the battle against demons. But now that Arantir was dead, and the only person with some prestige in the kingdom was no longer around, the representatives almost selectively ignored the contributions that the kingdom had made in the past.
Not only did the representative of the Kingdom of Heresh not appear, but even the representative of the dark elves did not appear. These two publicly acknowledged 'evil' factions did not participate in this meeting.
Therefore, this led to the final result of the debate. The various races were prepared to stand by and watch. While preparing for war and deploying heavy troops at the borders to guard against demon invasions, they planned to coldly watch the undead and demons harm each other. They all understood that the kingdom of Heresh might become history, but no matter what, they could let the sleepless undead consume the power of the demons to the greatest extent …
But at the same time, while the attention of the various races was attracted by this war, the T-Virus that Roy had left behind in the two fortresses was slowly and steadily spreading …
After losing the support of the other races, the necromancers of the kingdom of Heresh could only rely on their own strength to resist the invasion of the demon army. If it were enemies of other races attacking Heresh, it might not necessarily lose because necromancy had a powerful ability to harm most races. The fear of seeing their dead compatriots stand up again and attack them was a huge blow to anyone's morale.
Unfortunately, the opponent of the necromancers this time was a demon …
The magic of necromancers also leaned toward darkness and curses. To demons, who were born with the dark attribute, their power was weakened by at least two levels. And the skeletal bodies of the undead could not make a bloodthirsty race like demons feel fear. On the contrary, their fragile bones could not withstand a single blow from the strong demons.
In just three days, the kingdom of Heresh lost a large amount of territory under the attack of Roy's demon army. Countless skeletons were smashed into pieces, and countless vengeful spirits were killed. The cemetery environment in the territory of Heresh, which was originally filled with a gloomy corpse aura, was burned by the demons with flames, and the poisonous air was replaced by the smell of burnt sulfur.
Most importantly, Giovanni, the ambitious vampire lord, was leading the demon army. With him, who was familiar with the terrain, the necromancers wanted to ambush the demon army several times, but they were seen through and eventually lost their lives.
During the attack, Giovanni did not forget Roy's orders and spared no effort to search for the two treasures that Roy had instructed him to find.
In fact, be it the Helmet of Chaos or the Ring of the Broken Will, although the demons had lost these two treasures, they had always been circulating in the world of Ashan. Because of the existence of Urgash's will, these two treasures were filled with the power of darkness and chaos. Generally speaking, those who coveted and could use these two treasures were usually races that practiced dark power.
In other words, among the various races of Ashan, only necromancers and dark elves would use these two treasures. Coincidentally, the demons were attacking the kingdom of Heresh this time, so it was not too difficult to find these two treasures.
As expected, during the attack on Heresh, Giovanni found clues about the Ring of the Broken Will. According to the necromancers, the most powerful death lord in Heresh, Markal, might have the Ring of the Broken Will.
Giovanni originally planned to kill Markal himself and find the ring to give to Roy, so he quickly gathered his troops and began to attack Markal's territory, the Valley of Ghosts.
However, what Giovanni did not expect was that Markal had gathered a large number of troops in the Valley of Ghosts. According to the city's defenses, he had a large number of high-level undead troops, bone dragons, death knights, and a large number of liches under his command, almost filling the entire Valley of Ghosts. Moreover, Markal himself was a very powerful lord. After Arantir's death, he was the most prestigious lord in Heresh. After the demon army attacked here, the originally irresistible attack was obstructed. More than a hundred thousand demons continued to attack the Valley of Ghosts for three days, but they still could not take it down.
At this time, Giovanni realized that the biggest stumbling block preventing him from becoming an undead monarch was Markal. After discovering that he was probably not Markal's match, Giovanni decisively sent a message to Ur-Hekal.
After receiving the news, Roy immediately rode Rafaro to the Valley of Ghosts.
When Rafaro's thousand-meter-long body appeared in the sky above the Valley of Ghosts, the shadow that covered the sky made the undead and demons fighting below all stop moving and look up at the sky in a daze.
As for Death Lord Markal, he naturally knew who Giovanni's backer was, so after seeing Rafaro's Sky Dragon body, he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he quickly gathered his troops and shouted at the sky with magic, "Honorable Lord Osiris, please have your troops stop. We are not enemies. I can submit to you and serve you."
However, Roy in the sky pretended not to hear Markal's shout at all. He only ordered Giovanni to lead the demon army out of the Valley of Ghosts first while he sat on Rafaro's back and did not come down from the sky.
The demon army retreated tens of kilometers away. Markal heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the demons retreat and was thinking about how to show his loyalty after Roy came down. But at this moment, he found a bright spot suddenly appearing in the sky.
When this bright spot first appeared, it was even above Roy and Rafaro. But in just a few seconds, the bright spot became bigger and bigger, proving that the bright spot was constantly falling, and its target … seemed to be the Valley of Ghosts!
After understanding what the bright spot was, Markal's pale face became even more frighteningly pale. Then he did not dare to say anything and turned to run!
He didn't even want his own capital city anymore. He rode on a skeletal warhorse and escaped out of the city.
Damn it, damn it, damn it! How can this be?! As Markal fled, he cursed in his heart in annoyance. Armageddon! That's Armageddon! He didn't even answer me and directly used Armageddon to attack. He doesn't intend to accept my allegiance at all …
Although he was cursing, Markal felt that it was very strange because he did not feel any magic power fluctuations just now. Logically speaking, even a demon lord releasing a magic like Armageddon would also cause immense magic power fluctuations. How could it be activated so silently?
But no matter how puzzled he was, Markal knew that the power of Demon Lord Osiris was definitely not something he could contend against …
What he did not know was that the reason there were no magic power fluctuations was that Roy did not use the true Armageddon magic that Xeron used. He only used his Psychokinesis to pull a meteorite from the asteroid belt floating in outer space of this planet and smash it down!
Over the past few days, although Roy had been staying in Ur-Hekal, he had been familiarizing himself with the power he had obtained after becoming a demon lord. Apart from the newly obtained Glimmering Dawn, his other elemental powers did not increase much. On the contrary, his Psychokinesis suddenly increased several times after becoming a demon lord!
Roy guessed that this might be because of the amplification effect brought about by the changes in his soul after becoming a demon lord.
This attack on the Valley of Ghosts could be said to be the first time Roy had displayed his demon lord power in front of the various races of Ashan. In order to have enough deterrence, Roy directly used Rafaro's diffusion ability to spread the reach of his Psychokinesis into outer space. Then he pulled a meteorite about a kilometer in diameter into the atmosphere …
He did not need to use any magic power, but it was an even more powerful and destructive Armageddon!
This enormous meteorite lit up the entire sky with blazing flames after rubbing against the atmosphere. After brushing past Rafaro, it smashed into the Valley of Ghosts with indomitable momentum.
The next moment, the earth shook …
