Chapter 161: Prelude - The Beginning (Ask for Recommendation~Ask for Collection~)
Andariel, on the Throne of Bones, couldn't help but let out a shrill laugh when he heard the angry words coming from Albert's remnant.
"Of course I can! The contract only stipulates that I will return them to you 'alive', but I don't say....'Complete' to you?! Believe me, even if I don't have a body, I can keep their heads alive! ”
"No... No... No!!! Albert's soul orb struggled in pain, but the power of the contract began to slowly take effect on him.
Gradually, uncontrollably, he spat out the information he knew to Andariel, but whenever he stopped, Andariel would reach into the painting, and when he took it out, he would often pinch a bloody stump.
Ten minutes later, Albert's remnant finally broke down as he watched Andariel remove two female heads with painful and distorted expressions from the painting that had completely turned blank.
"Andariel! I curse you! ”
"Curse me? Curses are my bread! I am... Hell Demon King! Andariel reached out and pinched the green ball of light in front of him, knowing exactly what it wanted to know.
Now, this poor fool who tried to negotiate terms with the Demon King was worthless.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound sounded, the green ball of light shattered into a cloud of stars, and the two female heads that Andariel had placed on the armrests of the Throne of Bones screamed in a terrible manner.
That's right, they're still alive.
Because the contract requires them to live.
"Look at it carefully, two beauties, you can curse me as much as you want, hahahahaha!" Andariel let out a terrible laugh, and then placed the two heads at the front of the Bone Throne armrest, one on the left and one on the right, as decorations for the Throne Armrest.
After that, the female demon head stood up, and the four terrifying spider-legged limbs behind her slammed open.
Its eyes glowed green, and it muttered something as if it was talking to someone in the air.
After more than ten minutes, a crack suddenly opened on the top of its head, and the crack emitted bursts of strange suction, inhaling a trace of the green aura on Andariel's body.
As the green aura left his body, Andariel bent down and groaned half in pain and half excitement, and the four spider legs behind him also bent violently.
When the rift slowly closed, it gasped and straightened up, slowly sitting back on the Throne of Bones, and resting its hands on the two "human head armrests" that had just been made.
But the green glow in its eyes hadn't gone away, and Andariel seemed to control what the light was watching.
It had already laid a net in the Stone Wilderness, and even spent a lot of money to invite another Demon King to send someone to help, and finally even used the extremely weak world power it had mastered to forcibly disrupt the spatial structure of the Stone Wilderness, so that all teleportation spells could no longer be accurately located there.
The sacrifice is not small, but as long as you get the key to the mountains, it's worth it.
Because as Xue Hua guessed, it wanted this holy artifact, in addition to really wanting to use it as a medium to pollute the water source of Rog's camp, and another purpose was to open a way from the barrier mountain range, so as to touch one of the cities in the heart of the human heart, the desert pearl Lugoin.
If it could split through this damn barrier mountain, it would be able to pour all the power of hell into that desert.
At that time, dark clouds will obscure the sun, sweet springs will turn into poisonous water, and oases will become wasteland!
And its own power will be greatly enhanced!
This would take her a big step closer to being a demon god......
This temptation, it is impossible to endure to live.
Therefore, this operation it has already given a death order.
Not only the monsters of the entire Cathedral and the Taymor Heights poured out, but even the monsters of the Black Wasteland and the Dark Forest were recruited by it, and these monsters projected into a terrifying army of millions of people, and mightily passed through the underground passages, led by its 42-level doppelganger fragments, and headed for the stone wilderness.
On top of that, all the monsters in the Icy Plains and even in the Blood Wasteland suddenly began to assemble a riot and try to approach the Stone Wilderness.
The local monster community in the Stone Wilderness began to move closer to the Stone Pillar Forest as if it had been knocked into a berserk potion, and the newly reborn Lakanixiu temporarily became the commander of the monster alliance on the Stone Field, and it led an army of hundreds of thousands of monsters to occupy the Stone Forest area where the Tristram portal was located as quickly as possible.
However, because the five stone pillars are attached to the powerful protection magic of the ancient times, this magic has been blocking Tristram's portal for thousands of years, making it impossible for the demon clones in the Tristram region who have been transformed into demonic soil for some reason to pass through the portal.
This powerful spell array also stopped Lacanihu's attempts to dig through the stone forest, leaving it to wait for reinforcements from the million-strong army of Hell, led by Andariel's doppelganger shards.
At the same time, on the Rogge camp, Chasi learned a series of information sent back by the scouts, and wisely ordered all the Rog guards in the camp of the Icy Plains Station to retreat to the border posts, and asked them to send men first, and successfully blew up the mountain path leading to the Frozen Plains from the Buried Bones, blocking the Blood Crow and Bone Crushers who were trying to support in the direction of the Icy Plains, as well as the army of the undead led by them, in the Buried Bones.
In the Rog Camp, all the Rog Guards and most of the professionals with a level of 6 or higher have also been assembled.
With Akara's help, Farah created a one-time giant teleportation matrix and prepared to teleport one-third of his elite forces, including Scherva, Kidd, Akara, and himself, directly to the border of the Icy Plains and the Stone Wilderness.
The remainder of the large force, led by Kashya, teleported to the Icy Plains via a small station, and from there marched in the direction of the Stone Fields.
In the Blood Wasteland, all civilians were asked to temporarily abandon their homes or settlements on the outskirts of Camp Rog and take refuge inside Camp Rog.
Martial law was also imposed at the Eastern Pass, temporarily prohibiting the entry and exit of any person or caravan into or out of the Canduras region.
All of the professions below level 6 were also assembled, some to help maintain law and order and enforce curfews at Camp Rogue, while others were sent to the Blood Wastes and Evil Caverns to suppress the mad monster projections.
Originally, the leader of this rear "police" force was supposed to be Xue Hua's, but because of his strong protest and his desire to insist on going to the front line to fight, Akara had to find a new leader.
This person is her student, Shani Corvinella, who had a relationship with Xue Hua.
The girl's confinement had only recently ended, so the rank was a bit out of sync, and towards the end of the confinement period, she received a letter from her brother in which her stern and rigid eldest brother scolded her for being bloody.
So her mental state was still a little low, and Akara didn't let her go to the front, but gave her the task of clearing the rear.
By the day after both sides had received the information about the relics, both Hell and humanity had quickly and completely prepared for battle.
The two sides united all the forces they could muster, clenched them into fists, and placed them on the stone wilderness, and marched into formation, and Jin Ge rushed into the sky, and before the official battle began, it seemed that they could already smell the bloody breath of Mass in the entire mountain area.
The intense final preparations have come to an end.
The big war is on the verge of breaking out!
