After the magic formation was completed, Xeron appeared at the crater of the volcano.
He stood at the edge of the magic formation, and his hands began to glow. He chanted softly, and after a while, the magic formation began to glimmer.
Then Xeron suddenly raised his demon hooves and stomped on the ground. With a loud bang, the entire volcano began to tremble.
It was as though the earth was shaking, and the entire mountain was shaking. Many demons standing upright were shaken and fell to the ground.
The magic formation that Xeron had people pour out was actually an amplifier. He used the effect of this amplifier to use an earth-shaking spell, allowing the power of the magic to penetrate the bottom of the volcano.
"Everyone, evacuate!" After Xeron gave the order, the demons gathered on the volcano immediately ran for their lives. Even though they lived in a world with volcanoes and magma, it did not mean that they were not afraid of volcanic eruptions. On the contrary, they were most afraid of volcanic eruptions because they knew best what kind of destructive power a volcanic eruption had.
Xeron had summoned about two hundred demons in advance. Not long after these demons fled, the volcano, which had been affected by the earthquake, finally reached its critical point. It let out a deafening roar and began to erupt.
Billowing smoke rose from the crater with a large amount of volcanic ash. With the power of the volcanic eruption, countless large and small burning rocks were ejected. These rocks scattered in all directions, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers. It was beautiful and terrifying. With the eruption, high-temperature lava flowed out of the crater. These fiery red rivers spread all the way down the volcano, burning all the trees and forests along the way. Some small animals could not escape in time and were buried in the magma.
The volcanic eruption lasted for two hours before it finally subsided. However, everything within a radius of ten miles around the volcano had been scorched. Not even a blade of grass could be seen. Some of the magma had already begun to cool down, turning into black ground. Some of it was still boiling hot, emitting a dark red light and emitting green smoke.
Xeron looked proudly at his masterpiece and laughed wildly. He was very satisfied with this scorched earth and felt that he could start building a city.
Yes, the purpose of detonating the volcano was to create an environment suitable for demons to live in. Green mountains and clear waters were not the style of demons at all. What demons loved was a place filled with the smell of sulfur.
Under Xeron's scolding, more than two hundred low-level demons, including Roy, began to work. They found large stones and smoothed the ground as much as possible while the magma ground was still soft to use as a foundation. Once the foundation was laid, they began to build the city.
Roy did not make a move at this time. He brought Fat Tiger and became the supervisor of these demons. He held the blueprint and whip that Xeron had given him and urged the low-level demons to build according to the plan.
Demons had never been made for construction, so Roy's task of supervising them was not light. He had to guide the low-level demons at all times. Otherwise, they would have built the walls like instant noodles with ups and downs.
Moreover, the demons still lacked tools. All the buildings they built were made of stone and wood. Such buildings were most likely unstable and would collapse, but the demons had a way. Because they were adjacent to a volcano, they sent people to get magma from the bottom of the volcano. After it cooled slightly, they poured liquid rocks on the buildings to fill in the gaps and reinforce the walls.
After the city gradually took shape, Xeron brought new blueprints and had the demons build their own places to live.
To put it bluntly, it was a nest. Every type of demon had a nest that they liked to live in. After they were built, the demons would automatically live in them. Xeron would engrave summoning magic formations in these nests and then continuously summon demons of the same kind to this world.
For example, the demon kennels used to summon hellhounds. In the demon kennels, Xeron would only summon hellhounds. Every time he summoned a batch, he would sign a contract with them and then let them live in the kennels.
During this time, Roy had been secretly observing Xeron's actions. He found that the demons Xeron summoned were almost all of the same types. This might be because he needed to form an army and needed the same types of soldiers, so he did not summon too many demons. Xeron could accurately summon these demons almost every time.
Roy observed for a long time before understanding that there was a trick to this. Xeron seemed to know very well what certain types of demons liked. For example, when he summoned little demons, he would often add some powder from the eggshells of birds or insects to the sacrificial blood to change the aura of the blood.
Every time he used this sacrifice, he could summon a large number of little demons. These little demons were naturally those that had just been born and had just entered the upper Abyss. Perhaps it was the taste of eggshell powder in the blood that reminded them of the scene of eating their own demon eggshells when they hatched. In short, these little demons would always rush to teleport over.
Once they were summoned, their fates were sealed. How much combat power could these little demons that had just been born have? Xeron had only summoned them to increase the number of labourers and cannon fodder for future battles.
In addition to summoning little demons, there was also a way to summon hellhounds, which was to mix blood with griffin urine. Xeron had caught some wild griffins and raised them. When he mixed blood with griffin urine, the temptation to hellhounds was absolutely first-class!
This situation reminded Roy of when he learned to fish in his previous life. He used bait with different flavors for different fish …
When Roy responded to the summoning and passed through the Gate of the Abyss, he smelled blood mixed with griffin urine. At that time, he was wondering why the smell of blood was a little strange. Who would have thought that Xeron was actually just luring hellhounds? Roy did not understand this method at all, so he mistakenly entered it … Demon summoning rituals were like this. Because he could not see what the summoner on the other side of the Gate of the Abyss was like, he could not avoid risks at all. Once he encountered this kind of summoning trap, he could only rely on his own strength to escape.
Only demons understood demons best. Xeron, this high-rank demon, had lived for an unknown period of time. When he felt that he needed any kind of demon, he had a way to summon it. The Abyss was very large, so large that no one knew how many demons lived in it. Even though low-rank demons had chaotic bloodlines and strange appearances, there were still many of the same kind among so many demons.
Without exception, all the demons he summoned were enslaved by him. In order to deal with the upcoming war, it was impossible for Xeron to let the summoned demons go back easily. Here, Xeron was a demon lord, and the summoned demons were his subjects. After Xeron blocked the way home, the demons could only let him have whatever he wanted.
Of course, there were also demons like Roy who did not cooperate after being summoned and resisted. But after being beaten up, they became obedient and obediently worked for Xeron after setting up the contract.
Roy watched this scene coldly from the sidelines, but he did not feel any sympathy for Xeron. In fact, he knew very well that Xeron's approach was the most in line with demon behavior.
There would never be any warmth between demons. Apart from killing, there was only use, and they rarely had the concept of the same kind. Even if high-level demons valued bloodlines, it was only for demons of the same rank. It was not strange at all for high-level demons to enslave and beat low-level demons like this. Xeron summoned demons to fight for him. The cost was almost zero, but the return was a large number of souls. With such a high return ratio, not to mention demons, even human capitalists would flock to it.
As days passed, this demon castle gradually grew in size. At this moment, two more high-rank demons appeared and came to meet up with Xeron …
These two high-rank demons brought a small number of demon troops and rode nightmare warhorses. These nightmare warhorses had a bad temper, and they had shiny black hardened skin all over their bodies. They had a demon horn that looked like a ram on their heads, and their four hooves were burning with raging flames. Wherever they went, they would leave a trail of flames.
These nightmare warhorses were also demons, not monsters. This was because they had intelligence and were middle-rank demons. Many high-rank demons liked to enslave these nightmare warhorses as mounts.
