When the humans were still celebrating their victory, no one paid attention to the unfortunate news from the remote villages. When the various countries were dividing up the Union's assets like jackals and wolves, all the dignitaries were busy announcing their contributions.
Unfortunate news came from all directions, from the disappearance of a small population to the disappearance of an entire village. At first, no one paid attention to this period of time, thinking that it was a problem left over from the war. An army of three to four hundred people could easily deal with these wandering dark spirits. Instead, they continued to sing loudly, immersed in joy.
However, reality proved that they were wrong. It was not until the fall of the first city that people realized that these evil spirits were no longer what they thought they were. They were just simple carrion. They had gained consciousness and even more terrifying mutations. The most terrifying thing was that they had formed an army.
When Fina and the others came to the town, they were shocked to find that it was just a ruin. The dark spirit army had already razed the place to ruins. There was not a single living person in the town, nor was there a dead person. For the villagers, what could be more despairing than this? They had suffered untold hardships, endured hunger, and left their hometown in this cold winter to come to the town, only to find that the town had already been destroyed.
In an instant, despair defeated most of the villagers, and they decided to return to their village.
Lilith looked around. There were only charred houses everywhere. Most of the houses here were wooden, and only a few stone buildings were left. She found a broken spearhead and picked it up.
"This is the weapon of the Empire's army. The town is not defenseless."
Fina stood beside her and glanced at the burned spearhead. "But even so, the town is still destroyed."
"Well, a destroyed town will only make the enemy stronger. The more people die, the stronger they will be."
Lilith's eyes looked at the spearhead in her hand. "Only an army can defeat an army. Being able to take down this place proves that the dark spirits have a way to organize a huge army, at least tens of thousands of dark spirit soldiers."
"So fast? How did they do it without language and much intelligence? "
As soon as she asked, Fina frowned. She remembered the time when the village was attacked. The enemy had a small team of hundreds. When she got rid of the fat dark spirit, the other dark spirits would flee.
No, they did not feel fear. Even if the action looked like running away, it was actually some kind of predetermined action for them.
Just like the worker bees.
"The Evil Spirits have already begun to divide and form ranks. The Evil Spirit we encountered before could command about 200 to 300 Evil Spirits of the lowest rank. If those ordinary Evil Spirits are rank 1, then the Evil Spirits that command them are rank 2. If a rank 2 Evil Spirit has the ability to command about 200 soldiers, then if a rank 3 Evil Spirit appears, it can command rank 2 Evil Spirits. In theory, it is possible to organize an army of tens of thousands."
Lilith analyzed.
Hearing this, Fei Na and Mei Li's hearts turned cold. That would be a disaster.
"That man is the culprit. Everything is his doing. He must have the ability to control these dead people."
Fina gritted her teeth and said. He might not be the third stage as Lilith had said. He might be the fourth stage.
If there were enough Darkspirits, he could immediately summon an army of millions.
"Who is he?"
"A thief, one of the ancient rulers. In your words, he is an ancient god."
"Ancient god?"
When Lilith heard this, she subconsciously placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. An image flashed through her mind. They were in a white castle that had long been uninhabited. There was a huge door at the bottom of the castle, but there was nothing behind the door except a pitch-black mirror.
"This is a powerful seal called the Mirror of Darkness. As far as I know, this is the seal of an ancient guardian. From this sign, the seal has not been destroyed. Someone has released him."
"Him?"
Lilith revealed a puzzled expression.
"If I'm not wrong, I might have seen this guy before. I didn't expect him to not die. I was too young at that time."
Just as Lilith was puzzled, Lin Chade suddenly grabbed her shoulder and said to her,
"Lilith, this world will soon face a disaster. At that time, there will be no Demon King or Hero to save the world. You must find Reina and give this sword to her at all costs. Please. "
Lilith recalled what Lin Chade had said to her. Even at noon that day, it was as dark as night. Lin Chade began to weaken. His power was disappearing. That was the magic of his original body. As a clone, he would also disappear from this world.
She hugged him and kept transferring magic into his body, begging him not to leave her …
"Lilith? Are you okay, Lilith? "
Fina's voice pulled her back to reality. The spearhead in Lilith's hand fell to the ground. She suddenly turned her head and looked at the two of them. She said with a worried expression, "Maybe it's too late …"
…
Soaring Dragon, who had just inherited the throne, had yet to enjoy the sweetness of power when he was driven mad by a mountain of letters. Those were letters asking for help from all over the country. He did not need to read to know what was written on them. Evil Spirits, Evil Spirits, everything was about Evil Spirits.
Compared to the Ross Empire, the Dragon Boat Empire did not suffer much in the war with the Wusen Empire. However, the former prime minister, Graham's betrayal caused the Dragon Boat Empire to suffer huge losses.
He took away the best magic mechanics of the Dragon Boat Empire. The previous king had signed many protection treaties with them. Their technology was not made public. Graham's explanation at the time was that they did not want their technology to be stolen by other countries, so most of the technology was controlled by them. After their betrayal, many important equipment could no longer be produced. There was also no one to maintain and repair them.
The Dragon Boat Empire's economic lifeline was producing all kinds of magic weapons and magic transportation tools. However, they could no longer produce more than 50% of their products. In just a short month, all kinds of problems occurred. Countless civilians lost their jobs. Although Soaring Dragon had become the king, he was not happy at all. He felt as if someone was strangling his throat. It was incomparably uncomfortable.
He covered his injured right eye, then roared and angrily pushed away the letters piled up on the table.
"Ah!!! I'm so pissed off, damn you, Graham! "
If he still had the strength of the Brave, he would definitely lead the army and hang Graham's head on the city gates, letting the world know the fate of those who betrayed him.
Unfortunately, in that battle, the power of the three Brave had been taken away by that dwarf. They never recovered. He did not have the courage to lead the army at this time and attack Gotham City.
At this time, the soldier outside knocked on the door and said softly, "Your Highness, the prime minister has something to discuss."
The current prime minister, Zuo Chen, was a bald old man whose teeth had almost all fallen out. Soaring Dragon did not like this old thing, but in order to stabilize his throne and the country after the betrayal of the Reformists, he needed the strength of the Zuo family, one of the three traditionalist families.
"Come in."
Soaring Dragon sighed and turned his back to the door. He did not want anyone to see his expression.
When Zuo Chen entered the room and saw the letters all over the floor, he frowned and revealed a bitter expression.
"Your Highness, we have lost contact with the army we sent to exterminate the evil spirits."
Hearing this, Soaring Dragon sneered and said, "Heh, is there anything more ridiculous than this? Tell me, is there anything worse than this? "
He turned around and his sharp gaze was like an eagle's claw digging into Zuo Chen's flesh.
"Your Highness, we found three armies of more than 200,000 evil spirits. They took only one day to conquer three of our cities …"
Hearing this, Soaring Dragon's smile froze.
