Grigory returned to the table and continued to study the dark red crystal as if the commotion outside was nothing to him. In fact, the commotion was nothing to him. Lava demons were not rare in this dimension. As long as you passed by the flowing lava, you could encounter these low-intelligence elemental creatures at any time. The Magic Scar Canyon was an exposed intersection point of the underground lava, and of course, lava demons could appear at any time. However, those creatures did not have the ability to climb up the steep outer wall of the Magic Scar Canyon. The only threat they posed to the soldiers was the steam released when they moved violently and melted the walls. These poisonous gases would gush out from the Magic Scar Canyon, and even the well-trained soldiers would be harmed if they were not careful.
But the mages were enough to suppress the poisonous gases.
The door of the room was pushed open. An old man in a purple silk robe and holding a magic staff walked in. He was one of the high-ranking commanders of the human mages.
"Master Lufferne." Grigory stood up to greet him. "There are a large number of lava demons active in the Magic Scar Canyon. The poisonous steam may break through the barrier set up by the mages. I hope you can personally suppress it later."
"It's a piece of cake." The old man called Master Lufferne nodded. He was also one of the elders of the Allied Army, and he was a good friend of Gregory, so he didn't stand on ceremony. When he saw the dark red crystal on Gregory's table, he couldn't help but ask, "You're still researching this? Any progress? "
"No progress at all. Apart from a video, there's nothing." Grigory shook his head. "I almost suspect it's a joke."
"This is a part of the mad demonic king's demonic sword. It's the real deal." Lufferne stared at the dark red crystal on the table, his eyes glimmering. "And we have confirmed the demonic aura left on the crystal. It can't be faked. This must be something that belonged to the mad demonic king before he died. It's just that I don't know why that crazy demon left these messages … His train of thought is really hard to fathom. "
"Hmph, intention? It's just a simple plot, "Gregory said sarcastically." It's nothing more than to plunge the Allied Army into a long period of internal strife and chaos. He knew how attractive a secret that could allow him to rule the world was, so he threw the secret to us before he died, and we are destined not to ignore it. And as long as the human heart is at work, we can't destroy or seal this crystal — this is an overt plot. "
Lufferne quietly looked at the crystal and closed his eyes slightly. "Yes, an open plot. The other six heroes all know that this is an open plot, but no one has a choice. Tsk tsk, the human heart … you are also deeply involved. But then again, do you really believe in the existence of such a divine artifact? If it turns out that everything is just a lie made up by the Mad Demonic King, it will be a big joke. This crystal is real, but the artifact mentioned in the crystal image may not be. "
"I believe it." Gregory smiled. "Otherwise, no one can explain where the power of the mad demonic king came from..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from outside, directly interrupting the latter half of his sentence.
"What happened?" Gregory and Lucien were shocked at the same time. They quickly ran to the window and found that the soldiers in the camp were preparing for battle in a panic. In the distant flames, countless huge demons appeared out of thin air!
In the center of the demonic army was a primitive Cerberus that was more than five meters tall. The Cerberus was covered in heavy rock armor. Its eyes were blood-red, and its fangs were dripping with boiling blood. "It" raised its head and let out a long howl at the red planet. "Awooooooooooo …"
The last half of the syllable seemed to have been forcefully swallowed back.
But Grigory could not care less about that half syllable. The smell of blood in the air told him that it was a group of elite demons who had blood on their hands, and the armor they wore was the emblem of Serathon Legion!
"The demons broke into the camp?!" Lufferne turned pale with fright. "Did a high-level warlock controlled by a demon sneak in? Did someone open a portal in the military camp?!"
Just then, the door was pushed open, and a guard with a panicked face rushed into the room. "General! The Serathon Legion has appeared in the east! "
"Hurry up and fight! Protect the Wizard Tower in the east! " Gregory ordered loudly. "Sound the alarm, inform the nearby elves and orcs to come and help!"
At this moment, the flames in the east of the barracks had not subsided, and more demons appeared out of thin air in the flames. They were obviously elite soldiers who had been teleported here, but this kind of flame portal was unheard of by the coalition soldiers: the way the demons appeared was completely different from the conventional summoning of warlocks.
But now was not the time to dwell on such details. The demons that appeared out of thin air formed a phalanx and strode towards the camp. The demons were attacking the city!
An ear-piercing alarm rang through the camp, and a dozen bright flares were shot into the sky. The soldiers of the Allied Army, who had been through ten years of war, were all elites. Even in the face of the demon army descending from the sky, they did not panic. Immediately, countless soldiers gathered from the camp to meet the enemy. The distance between the two sides was shrinking rapidly, and a fierce battle was about to break out in the Allied Army's camp!
The old magician Lufferne had run to support the sorcerers. Grigory clenched his fist as he watched the flames and explosions in the distance. He felt that the way the demons appeared and moved was a little strange, but the smell of blood made him realize the seriousness of the situation.
The lava demons in the Magic Scar Canyon rioting... The demons were attacking the city...
The two things connected in an instant, and Grigory suddenly realized that this was a premeditated raid! Serathon, the cunning demon of the abyss, had been preparing for this attack for god knows how long. So what was the target of these demons?
Grigory immediately thought of the dark red crystal, but he soon realized that Serathon did not know that the crystal was currently in this area. He looked towards the direction of the demons, and suddenly found that in front of them was none other than the Platinum Obelisk where the pope was!
Grigory's bloodthirsty nature as a paladin finally got the upper hand. He suddenly grabbed the weapon beside him and was ready to rush out to defend the Platinum Obelisk. But just before he left the room, he saw the dark red crystal on the table.
Although there seemed to be no other secrets in the crystal, he still had to be wary of someone trying to take advantage of the situation. Grigory turned back, put the crystal into a large metal box by the wall, and activated the magic lock that even Lufferne could not unlock. The metal box made a series of strange noises, and finally, a bunch of strange grey arms grew out from all sides, fusing with the walls and floor of the room.
After that, Grigory rushed out of the door and called his guards to rush to the frontline.
After Grigory left, the window of the room suddenly opened without any wind, and Hao Ren and Lanina sneaked in like ghosts.
"I'm impressed that your seduction spell could fool all the soldiers along the way," Hao Ren praised the succubus. "Didn't you say that you didn't practice seduction?"
"I didn't, but I have the instincts. And they're just ordinary soldiers, not difficult to deal with." Lanina's expression was a little strange. "Don't talk about this, I'm getting goosebumps..."
Hao Ren quickly sneaked to the metal box in the corner. "I just saw him put the crystal in there. Are you sure that the crystal was on Y 'zaks's demonic sword?"
"It's true. I was the one who put it in. Unfortunately, the magic sword was lost in the Final Battle." Lanina said as she squatted in front of the metal box. She frowned at the floating magic runes on the surface of the box. "Damn it … It's a lock made by the elves and dwarves."
"Can't open it?" Hao Ren was surprised.
Lanina shook her head. "If it's a normal lock, it would be fine. But this lock can only be opened with a specific rune formula, and before you open it, you won't be able to see the information related to the runes."
Hao Ren frowned. He shook the box, and found that it had "grown" with the whole room, so he took out his silver alloy spear from his dimensional pocket. "Stand back, I remember this spear has ion welding function... It's okay if you can't open the lock, we can move the box."
Lanina: "?"
