A few days later.
The night was dark, but this hellish world would not be plunged into darkness because of the curtain of night. When the distant, dim reddish-brown star completely sank below the horizon, the Osidian Plain was shrouded in a layer of dark red shimmer. This layer of light came from the huge red planet in the sky. The huge planet had red soil rich in iron, and at the same time, because of the slowly decaying radioactive material, it always emitted a faint light. This light was enough to illuminate the entire land after nightfall.
Every demonic plane had an unforgettable landscape. The Third Plane had the Helms Smoke Column, and the Seventh Plane had the red giant. Due to the gravitational lock, the broken planet that Y 'zaks once ruled and the red giant in the sky had always maintained relative orbit for millions of years, becoming the strange binary star system in this space. Whenever night fell, the Osidian Plain was under the illumination of the red giant. Looking up, one could see the huge circular land hanging above their heads. It was so close that one could even see the wood-grain-like surface structure of the red planet with the naked eye.
A few black figures were running fast on the Osidian Plain. They bypassed the military camps and outposts along the way, and kept approaching the 'city' where the Allied Army General Command was located.
Lanina looked up at the familiar sky of her hometown. "Many outsiders find it hard to survive in this space. The relatively high temperature during the day and the toxic substances in the air are just one of the reasons. The other reason is the influence of the red planet. Red seems to be a very stimulating color for sensitive creatures like humans and elves. Long-term exposure to the red planet will cause them to lose control of their emotions. Plus, the radiation of the red planet has a certain impact on the mind. Many humans and elves can adapt to the climate here, but suffer when the night comes. But now the coalition soldiers in this space should have adapted to the environment. We can no longer expect to see anyone go crazy under the illumination of the red planet. "
Hao Ren did not feel anything about the huge planet in the sky. He was just curious about the situation of the continent before the collapse of Y 'zaks' empire. "The environment here was so bad back then? I remember there were many creatures of other races under Y 'zaks' rule. Could they adapt to this place? "
"The environment here was slightly better, and the environment in the city was better." Lanina smiled. "In order to allow all races to live normally in this space, we studied a lot of environmental modification technology. We even used a big enchantment to create a forest in the Red Peak area for the elves to live in. But now there should be only charcoal left. "
Hao Ren nodded and did not say anything.
Only Lanina was with him. The others had scattered to other places to carry out their tasks. Tonight, they wanted to create a little chaos in the heart of the coalition forces. Based on the topographic map that Vivian had mastered and the movements of the people near the target, it should not be difficult.
"Let's wait here." When the red planet's light reached its third peak, Hao Ren and Lanina arrived at an obsidian hill nearest to the command center. It was a patrol blind spot. "Y 'zaks should be in position. Let's wait for him to make a move."
The place where he stood was the edge of his former royal city, but now the royal city was gone. There was only a huge canyon with no end in front of him.
The place where he stood was on the edge of his former royal city, but now the royal city was gone. There was only a huge canyon with no end in front of him. The Osidian Plain was like a piece of it had been forcibly dug out from the center, leaving behind a scorching scar, showing to future generations how tragic the war that destroyed the world was.
Y 'zaks quietly looked down the canyon. At the bottom of the distant dark valley, he could see a bright golden-red light meandering. It was a network of magma rivers. The magma used to be hidden deep underground. It was the unprecedented forbidden spell that exposed the underground magma.
Many years ago, these magma rivers were an important power source for Helcrown and the Osidian Throne. This time, they would once again serve the demon king of this land.
"If this land still remembers its master," Y 'zaks muttered to himself as he sat cross-legged. "Get up and do me another favor."
The magma rivers in the depths of the canyon seemed to have heard the summons of its former monarch and suddenly began to surge. Listening to the loud rumble coming from the bottom of the canyon, feeling the slight tremor under his body, Y 'zaks smiled. "Then let's see if the blood magic that vampires are so proud of will work."
The night was still silent. The red star's light had ended its peak and began to dim. The allied sentries stationed around the canyon were preparing for the last shift of the day. An elven warrior with sharp ears saw a comrade who came to take over the shift not far away. He yawned and walked out of his sentry post. He was relaxed because he felt that there would be no danger here. This was the hinterland of the Osidian Plain, the core of the allied forces. Although it was the base camp of the mad demon king a year ago, now it was the safest place in the entire demonic dimension. Serathon's army was thousands of kilometers away from here, so he did not think anything would happen tonight.
But just as he turned around, a strange rumbling sound suddenly came from behind. The elf's sharp ears trembled at the same time the rumbling sound rang out. The soldier immediately rushed back to his sentry post and looked down at the bottom of the canyon: that was where the sound came from.
The magma river at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was surging. The bright and unfreezing hot liquid flowed up the walls of the Grand Canyon as if it had a life of its own. Countless giant humanoid monsters formed in the magma and crawled towards the surface like the ancient giants who were climbing the pillars of the world in the myths!
The elf sentry instantly broke out in a cold sweat. At this time, he even forgot that the depth of the canyon was enough for the magma demons to fall halfway. He instinctively pulled the alarm alchemy device next to him and shouted, "The demons are attacking!"
At the same time, more than a dozen alarm lights were shot into the sky from the other sentry posts around the canyon. The surrounding camps were in an uproar!
In the command post not far from the camp, a human watchtower was still lit. This three-story stone building was the residence of the highest commander of the human race. In the room on the top floor of the watchtower, a middle-aged man in armor with short brown hair was frowning at a dark-red crystal in front of him. He was one of the "Seven Heroes" of the allied forces, the human commander, Gregory.
This highly prestigious and tenacious paladin was one of the most senior commanders in the ten-year war. He was also one of the founders of the coalition army that stood up and called on all races to form an alliance after the demon king's army had wreaked havoc in the human world for hundreds of years. But now, the general, who was known for his wisdom and calmness, was confused by the crystal in front of him. He could not see through the hints in the dark red stone other than a video. He could only feel the authentic demonic aura from the stone. It was this aura that convinced the commanders of the allied army that this was not a joke.
Just as Gregory was staring at the stone, the commotion outside made him frown.
He got to his feet, pushed the door open and called out to his guard. "What's going on outside?"
The guard had just come back after understanding the situation. He immediately bowed when he saw Gregory. "General! The magma river under the Magic Scar Canyon is surging. Many magma demons are crawling to the surface. "
"Just for this?" Gregory frowned in dissatisfaction. "There are magma demons crawling out of the magma river every day. Didn't we already know that they can't climb up the cliff of the Magic Scar Canyon?"
"But General, the scale this time is huge." The guard hurriedly explained what he had heard. "It is said that there are thousands of magma demons splitting from the magma river! Their movement pattern is very similar to the mad demon king's... "
"What did you say?!"
"Very similar to the magma demon army under the mad demon king's command..." The guard took a deep breath. Even though the allied forces were the final victors of the ten years of war, when the words "mad demon king" were mentioned, the victors could not help but feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. It was a shadow that had shrouded the world for hundreds of years. It was not something that could be completely eliminated by a decade of war.
Gregory thought for a moment and waved his hand to calm his guard down. "Stay calm. Ask Master Lufferne to come over and inform General Tina about the situation here. "
The guard took the order and left. Gregory turned to look at the dark-red crystal on the table. He shook his head slightly and sat back down.
He did not leave the room.
