Chapter 2738 Traces of the Devil
Latest website:
In the wasteland west of Erathia, Sir Mrak is listening to the report of his scouts.
"Lord Mrak, according to our investigation, those demons have retreated to the barbarian wasteland. They retreated in such a hurry that they did not even erase the traces, as if they did not know that the flames would disappear."
Listening to his men's report, Mrak pondered for a moment, his side face illuminated by the priest's rising light: "Follow us further, the sudden disappearance of the flames is God's reward for our bravery, we must not miss this opportunity!"
The morale of his men was greatly boosted. After receiving the order, he led the small team to explore the depths of the Crulod Wasteland, while Mrak looked towards the darkness with no end.
Before that shocking incident occurred, Sir Mrak was leading his troops to fight against the increasingly arrogant Hell army in western Erathia.
The demons crawled out of hell and ignited the grasslands on the plains with the fire of sin. The fires burned continuously for several months, and all the warriors were enveloped in hot ashes.
On a certain day that was destined to be unusual, all the flames in the world were quietly extinguished at the same moment. The demons who were accustomed to the cover of flames and were good at using the power of flames were greatly reduced in strength. Even the big demons could not In order to continue, they were defeated by the Erathian Legion.
With the cooperation of angels and saints, knights and priests, the demons were quickly driven out of Erathia. The Holy Kingdom regained a brief period of peace.
Some Erathians took advantage of this opportunity to indulge in pleasure and want to experience a moment of beauty before the end, while others shouldered heavy responsibilities and never had a moment of peace of mind.
Sir Mrak is the latter. He tracked the fleeing demons all the way to the barren desert west of Erathia, looking for the demons' lair.
As a knight, Mrak has knowledge that is no less than that of a scholar.
The real home of the demons is the hell at the end of the underground. It is thousands of miles away from the surface world where humans live, and there is even an underground kingdom of witchcraft creatures called Nigon. The demons can cross this... Coming from a long distance to the surface world, I have already used the power of space magic.
What he has to do is to take advantage of the fact that the demons' strength is greatly reduced to find out their methods, so as to completely eradicate the demons from the main plane. If the demons relied on the spell caster to come to the surface world, then he would kill the spell caster. If they relied on the portal, then he would destroy the portal.
The wilderness belonging to the barbarians is barren and vast. There are a large number of uncivilized savage creatures living here. Their habits are primitive and simple, and the environment is far inferior to the vast grasslands of Erathia. It is unexpected that they will be complicit with the demons of hell.
Not long after, while climbing over a barren mountain, Sir Mrak stopped moving forward. In a cave not far away, he found traces of biological activity, and footsteps were approaching in his direction.
M'lak's face darkened, and then he raised his thumb horizontally and gestured to his men to catch him alive. The scouts who took the order immediately set an ambush on the path of the incoming person. After the incoming person stumbled, they raised their swords. in front of the man's throat.
"No... don't kill me..." After realizing his situation, the man hurriedly begged for mercy.
He is not a human being, but a green-skinned barbarian. The scouts do not have a good look at such a foreign race. They are planning to cut open his arm to inflict fear on him, thus facilitating the Jazz's subsequent interrogation, but the action is noticed. M'Lak, who caught the scout's thoughts, called for a stop.
"Don't hurt him. What's your name?" M'lak sent the scout aside and asked the barbarian alone.
The barbarian is not that old, and his stature is a bit shorter than M'lak's. M'lak wonders if this barbarian still has the blood of other creatures in his body? But because of this, the barbarian's temper was not bad, and his eyes were full of agility, and he was looking cautiously in the direction in which the scout was leaving.
After hearing Mrak's inquiry, the barbarian realized that the person in front of him who could stop the scout in one breath must be much higher than the scout in terms of status. If he accidentally offends by neglect, he is afraid he will be punished. He punished him and said quickly:
"Sir, my name is Dadalal, and I just came here to try my luck. You are so powerful, and the food and property left by the King of the Cavemen should belong to you."
"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"
M'lak seemed to hear something and asked: "We are not here for any territory, we are here to track those demons. Do you know any information about the demons? And the King of the Cavemen, was he killed by those demons? ?When did that happen?”
Mrak's series of questions and the power of his high position made the barbarian boy in front of him speechless and uneasy. It took him a while to clear his thoughts and stuttered slightly:
"Sir...Sir, the king of the cavemen...he did not die in the hands of the devil. A few weeks ago, he led the cavemen to leave the scarlet mountain peak, which is where we are now. Listen to a caveman Friends say that the King of the Cavemen went to the snowy land of the south to attend a grand wedding celebration, where all the kings of the doomsday will be present..."
After listening to the barbarian's story, Sir M'Lak let out a deep groan. Although the barbarian's story was unclear, he still understood what happened to the king of cavemen. He did not die among those who escaped. In the hands of the demon, he took the initiative to leave his territory just to attend the wedding of the Lord of the Dead.
As an important general of Erathia, it is impossible for Mrak not to know what happened in Brakada. The mages suffered a big loss at the hands of the Lord of the Undead. Even their ancient homeland, the Snowy Land of Brakada, is now in ruins. fell into the hands of Rhodes. And that arrogant necromancer actually planned to take advantage of the joy of victory to marry another king of the doomsday, the big red dragon Moriel.
The end is approaching, wars are raging, and ambitious kings are on one side, planning to use this end of the world to attack the ancient forces and create a new order for the world. Sir M'Lak will not let the ambitions of the kings succeed, but now, compared to those kings, the devils in the depths of hell, even angels are afraid, are more troublesome.
The silence of the flames may only weaken the demons for a moment. M'lak deeply understands this truth. If the demons are given a chance to breathe, they will definitely come back. By then, they will not let the Erathians go. Before dealing with the doomsday kings, he must deal with the demons first.
"I don't care about everything left by the King of the Cavemen. After we leave, everything here belongs to you. Now tell me, have you ever seen any traces of demonic activities during this time?" Mrak asked again road.
Listening to Jazz's inquiry, the barbarian boy fell silent. After a while, he said in a serious tone:
"More than just seeing traces of demons? Even the depths of the wasteland are now occupied by demons. I'm not blaming King Kilgor, but the demons he brought have completely destroyed the barbarian's homeland...Those demons, they When I am hungry, I will kill and eat my companions, especially when it is dark. The demons have taken over everything that once belonged to the barbarians. The freedom we finally gained under the leadership of the hero Tanan has now disappeared. , we can no longer walk freely in the wilderness, and we must be careful every step we take."
Listening to the barbarian boy's story, Sir Mrak also sighed slightly. Erathia is also facing attacks from demons. Although it is still safe and sound under the protection of angels, if those demons are not completely defeated, who knows what will happen in the future. What would it become? The barbarian's words really entered his heart.
"You said it was Lord Kilgor who brought those demons? What's going on?" Mrak asked.
This time, the barbarian boy hesitated. Judging from the dress of the group of people in front of him, they were obviously related to Erathia east of Crulod. They did not come for the treasure left by the king of the cavemen. He came because of those demons, which also made the barbarian boy wary. Maybe his answer would destroy the plan of the leader of Kilgor. As a barbarian with the blood of Krorod, that kind of thing is impossible. Forgiven.
Sir saw his hesitation: "Erasia is also invaded by demons. Those evil and ferocious demons should not exist in this world. Your king made a serious mistake. He misjudged the evil intentions of the demons." The danger, think about your compatriots who died in the hands of the devil, joining forces with the devil is like seeking the skin of a tiger, and it is destined to not end well."
After some persuasion from Sir, the barbarian boy finally made up his mind: "My brother and I really need the food left by the King of Cavemen. Will you really leave everything here to us?"
"Of course I will." Jazz promised.
"Not long ago, Lord Kilgor summoned a large number of barbarians to work for him. They built a huge stone gate in the Sunset Wasteland east of Crulod. The demons came from the gate known as the 'Gate to Hell'. Walking out of the stone gate. When you cross the bright red mountain peak, just continue to go west and you can see the gate of hell in the dark. But be careful, there are powerful demons guarding it at all times. A friend of mine only got a little closer If you eat some, you will be killed and eaten by those demons.”
After a short struggle in his heart, the barbarian boy finally told the truth about those demons. It was through the stone gate in the sunset wilderness that those demons came to Crowroad and brought deep disaster to the savage creatures. .
After telling the truth, the barbarian boy felt very sorry for the great leader Kilgor in his heart. He could only use another idea to convince himself that he did this so that his fellow barbarians would not be harmed and so that other brothers could rely on him. Stay alive on the food left behind by the caveman king.
"Sunset Wasteland..."
Sir Mrak wrote down the place names mentioned by the barbarian boy, and there was a flash of thought in his eyes. Now that those demons have been completely expelled from Erathia, they are so cruel that they can only attack the barbarians who are weaker than them.
"Thanks for your information, everything in the cave belongs to you now." Mrak said calmly.
The barbarian boy had a look of surprise on his face. He was not very polite. As soon as he heard what Jazz said, he jumped up excitedly and ran towards the dark cave beside him without even saying goodbye.
After the barbarian boy left, the scout leader came to Jazz again and asked him for instructions: "Sir Sir, do you need..."
The scout leader did not say the next words, but his tone exuded a deep chill, which would make anyone secretly frightened.
After hearing his words, Mrak just waved his hands: "Let's set off. After approaching the Sunset Plain, we will find out the number of demons guarding outside the gate of hell."
This time, the scout leader did not leave immediately. Instead, he had objections to Sir's actions, but his words were still respectful:
"With all due respect, Sir Mrak, your secret mission carries the lives of hundreds of thousands of Elathians and the hope of the entire Holy Kingdom. There cannot be any mistakes. If it is because of a moment of kindness, we will If your whereabouts are exposed, it will be too late to regret it. If you don’t want to see death with your own eyes, please leave the task to me. As long as you show your intention a little bit, I will help you carry out the task..."
"My order is that you do not need to harm the barbarians here. If you let me know that you disobey the order, I think you understand what will happen." Sir M'Lak stopped, stared at the scout in front of him, and said one word Said one sentence at a time.
"But if he leaks our whereabouts..." The scout was silent and said after a while.
"If things really happen, I will admit my mistakes to you, and I will use my life to apologize to the Holy Kingdom. But until that moment comes, I will not hurt those innocent people. We are Erathians, not anything Evil person." Mrak said seriously.
After saying that, he ignored the scouts and led the entire team, continuing to move towards the Sunset Wasteland where Hell was located. The scouts who stayed there were also thoughtful.
"Since Sir has given this order, do we still need to take action?"
There were other scouts who also heard Mrak's words. This was not at all what they expected. In order to avoid leaking their whereabouts, they could not take any risks. Beings like barbarian teenagers, after interrogation They all need to be completely silenced.
"Didn't you all hear it?" The scout leader sighed deeply. He understood Sir Mulak's stubbornness and what kind of persistence he had in his heart. He didn't mind getting his hands stained with blood. Jazz has gained glory, but the current situation also prevents him from making a decision.
In the end, the scout leader could only sigh deeply: "Leave one person here to monitor every move of those barbarians, and don't hurt them before they show any abnormality."
