Over the past two weeks, Xeron's troops had not advanced very quickly. Under such circumstances, there was no news of Rashka's reinforcements.
That Evil God was probably done for! Roy thought to himself.
Since he could think of it, Xeron could naturally think of it as well, so Xeron was furious. He thought that even if Rashka was unwilling to send too many reinforcements, it would be good to send dozens or hundreds of demons. But he did not expect Rashka to be so ruthless!
In a fit of anger, Xeron ordered someone to find some water and did not hesitate to consume magic power to use a Water Mirror spell to try to contact Rashka.
There was also this kind of communication magic in this world. But because the elements in this world were more active, long-distance communication magic would cause more serious interference, resulting in distortion, confusion in speech, and other problems. Therefore, communication magic would only be used when things were relatively important. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would still choose a more reliable method of communication like letters.
The Water Mirror spell was a bit like a video call. While Roy was watching from the side, Xeron really contacted Rashka. In the water, Rashka's appearance looked very blurry and distorted. After connecting, Xeron roared at Rashka on the screen, "Damn it, Rashka, it's fine if you don't send reinforcements, but why did you kill the person I sent to deliver the letter?!"
"W-what?" Rashka only responded after a long time, but he probably did not hear Xeron's words clearly and looked stunned.
Xeron had to repeat it again, but Rashka replied with a blank expression, "You sent someone to deliver a letter to me? I didn't receive it! "
The voice on the other side was also a little distorted, but Xeron still heard it clearly. He could not help but roar, "Still pretending?! Do you think you can deceive me by pushing the blame to the elves? "
"No, Xeron, listen to me!" "I'm not even heading east of Erathia now, but north. I received news from Ignatius on the way. Lord Lucifer originally sent Zeda to help us attack Erathia, but I didn't expect that Zeda would betray us as soon as he arrived on the continent of Erathia and want to establish himself. Ignatius's spies found his traces in the north, so he asked me to capture him. I didn't even head east, so how could I have received your letter?"
"Nonsense! Zeda rebelled? How could there be such a coincidence? " The communication was not good. Xeron could only hear intermittently, but he still heard the keywords' Zeda 'and' betrayal '. However, he did not believe it. "Even if Zeda betrayed me, why didn't Ignatius send me a message?"
"How would I know?" Riska seemed a little impatient after being questioned continuously. He said, "I alone am enough to hunt down Ze Da. Why would he tell you? He said that he would take over my job and attack the elves with you. Now, he should be advancing side by side with you. Why are you looking for me instead of him for help?! "
Xeron listened to Rashka's words. Because of his preconceived notions, he was a little skeptical of Rashka's words. Only Roy's heart skipped a beat.
In these two weeks, Xeron's troops had encountered a total of three large-scale battles, all against the troops led by elven druids. Due to the slow advancement, there were even battles. Logically speaking, even if there were no reinforcements on Rashka's side, Ignatius's reinforcements should have arrived by now, right? But the problem was that there was no sign of reinforcements at all!
Even if what Rashka said was true, that he went to hunt down Zeda, and Ignatius replaced him and advanced with Xeron, it did not make sense that Ignatius would not send reinforcements. It had to be said that Ignatius would summon high-level demons and send reinforcements to Xeron. But now, the evil god that sent the message was gone, and the reinforcements that should have been there were also gone!
What did this mean? It meant that the elves had probably intercepted and killed them!
Ignatius might really send high-level demons as reinforcements, but the premise was that Xeron had to be on the same front as him!
Due to his desire to snatch kills, Xeron had long since exceeded his original position under Roy's bewitchment. Compared to Ignatius, his troops were now further ahead, and Ignatius did not know about this situation. If he sent troops to Xeron's side according to his estimated position, it was very likely that those troops would not be able to find Xeron when they arrived!
If the troops that pounced on nothing encountered the elven troops surrounding them, then … it would all make sense that they did not receive any reinforcements …
This situation was a little beyond Roy's expectations. Although all of this was part of his plan, the elves' actions were earlier than he expected. Roy originally thought that Xeron would fall into the elven ambush when he was about to reach the main city of the elves, but now it seemed that this ambush was almost forming!
The elven troops he encountered in the past two weeks seemed more like they were confirming the location of Xeron's demon army and trying to exhaust the combat power of Xeron's army … It was not just an encounter …
Although the situation was a little beyond Roy's expectations, he did not panic. He had almost accumulated enough souls. After three battles, Roy now had more than six hundred souls, so he could prepare.
After Xeron finished communicating with Riska, he also had a dumbfounded expression. Although he did not really believe Riska's words, what if what he said was true?
Of course, Xeron knew Zeda. He was another high-rank demon serving Lucifer Creegan. Xeron and the others firmly believed that King Lucifer Creegan was one of the incarnations of Demon King Lucifer, so they were willing to serve him and were even very loyal. However, Zeda was not willing to believe this. He was ambitious and had always shown signs of rebellion. Of course, Xeron and the others could see some of it, so it was really possible that Riska said that Zeda had rebelled and wanted to establish his own army …
Now, at the critical moment of attacking the elves, Zeda's act really caught Xeron and the others off guard. Especially Xeron, he wanted to capture Zeda and bring him back to the Abyss and soak his soul in holy water for six hundred and sixty-six days and nights!
Although he wanted to contact Ignatius, Xeron could not bring himself to do it. If Ignatius knew that he had deviated from his position in order to snatch credit and kill, he might ridicule him.
After thinking about it, Xeron did not waste any more magic power. He planned to save his magic power and summon demon reinforcements on the spot.
Yes, Xeron faintly felt that something was wrong. Although he could not tell what was wrong, demons' natural perception of danger urged him to think of ways to increase his trump cards.
Fortunately, during this period of time, the troops had plundered a lot of materials from the elves' mines, so there was no shortage of materials to draw the summoning circle. After drawing the pattern and watering it with mercury, a simple summoning circle was formed.
In fact, the summoning ritual did not need to be too complicated. There was no need for human methods like lizard tails, soaking internal organs, and so on. The most important thing to open a Gate of the Abyss was the summoner's magic power.
Roy had been watching closely from the side. He had long memorized the pattern of the magic formation to open a Gate of the Abyss. What he wanted to observe was the direction of Xeron's magic power output.
At this moment, Xeron had completely forgotten about Roy's existence. He was anxious and did not expect Roy to pay attention to him at this time. So when he stood beside the magic formation and inserted his demon scythe into it to input magic power, Roy easily observed the activation trajectory of the magic formation.
The light of the magic formation first lit up from the demon symbols on the periphery, then from the outside to the inside, and finally to the pentagram in the center of the magic formation. This process was quite short. If one did not pay attention, they might think that the entire magic formation lit up at the same time, but Roy noticed this because he was paying attention.
Xeron once said that if he wanted to teleport in the opposite direction, he had to output magic power in the opposite direction. So if he wanted to go back, he should first light the pentagram in the formation when he lit up the magic formation?
Roy guessed. He planned to wait until he escaped before trying to activate it and then throw a random demon in to test it …
This time, Xeron did not hesitate to consume his magic power and souls to summon high-level demons. With enough sacrifices, many high-level demons were teleported through the dark Gate of the Abyss. Roy looked and found that most of them were succubi!
These succubi were rare humanoid female demons among the demon race. Not only did they have voluptuous figures, but they were also naked. But because they were demons, they still had curved demon horns on their heads, and their feet were inverted demon hooves. In particular, the pair of demon wings on their backs actually grew upside down. This kind of demon wings looked very cool.
Succubi were high-rank demons who were good at using fire magic and charm magic. Xeron summoned them to make up for the lack of mid-range and long-range troops in the army. After all, it might be difficult to rely on those gogs alone.
In addition to the succubi, Xeron also summoned abyss demons and big demons. Abyss demons walked with hunched bodies. When they appeared, they held a huge broken sword burning with flames in their hands. This sword that was missing half was called the Soul-Stealing Blade, and it was the main weapon of the abyss demons. As for the big demons, they were similar to Xeron, classic demon images. They had huge demon horns soaring into the sky, demon scythes or demon hammers in their hands, and their bodies were strong and huge. As soon as these high-rank demons appeared, a strong smell of sulfur assaulted their nostrils.
"I need your help!" After Xeron finished the summoning, he looked a little exhausted. No matter how enormous his magic power was, summoning these guys was almost exhausting. But as a high-rank demon, Xeron was at least at the top, so he said confidently, "Come on, sign a contract with me to stay in this world. There will be a war next. I believe you'll like it!"
"War? It's really great! " A succubus giggled. "Okay, as long as the conditions aren't too harsh, we can listen to your orders!"
