Abyss Demon of the Worlds

"All the [Devil Lords] we could contact rejected our proposal."

"As for the [Devils], although some lords have some intentions, they themselves are actually an unstable factor. The risk of cooperation is too high. It is not recommended to really expect them..."

"The [God] side seems a little unclear."

"Among them. [The Goddess of Magic]'s attitude is very vague. She neither rejected our proposal nor agreed to our proposal, as if she was planning something..."

"and……"

Listening to the information reported by a famous [Grand Arcanist].

[Iolum]'s face did not look gloomy because of the bad result.

Because, having released [Prophecy Spell], he had already guessed the approximate outcome in advance...

at the same time.

In the Kingdom of Netheril, with the beginning of the war, all kinds of bad information are constantly being passed into his hands.

Until now.

In the process of fighting those unknown creatures.

There is already a [Grand Arcanist] who clearly died in the frontal battlefield...

According to analysis, the relationship between the two sides in the battle is completely one of restraint and being restrained!

[Arcanist]'s proud [Magic] and [Magic Equipment], when facing the enemy, almost 90% of the effects will be exempted by the opponent!

And these situations.

Immediately, [Iolum] realized more deeply that the situation was going completely out of control...

The entire country is slowly collapsing like a giant decaying tree...

Come to think of it, soon.

What I witnessed when I was casting [Prophecy Spell], the scene of countless [Floating Cities] falling to the ground like meteorites, is likely to become a fact!

And once things get to that point, even if the entire country wins the final war, it is actually not much different from losing...

The foundation, nine times out of ten...

so.

[Iolum] couldn't help but fell into long thinking.

Thinking about how to save the entire situation in a more appropriate way, or reduce the upcoming losses...

-------

Half a month later.

[Iolum] once again summoned all the [Grand Arcanists].

Shared his thoughts with them.

"By temporarily disintegrating the [Kingdom of Netheril], we can avoid most risks!"

The core idea of ​​this method is very simple.

As the only country with a large number of [Floating Cities].

With the ability of [Kingdom of Netheril].

In fact, there is no need to regard the homeland as the foundation!

This is a country with great mobility!

Each [Grand Arcanist] can be broken into pieces, using the [Floating City] as a vehicle, and each can take the civilians under their command to escape to other areas to avoid powerful enemies and avoid the limelight.

Until the matter is settled, we will gather together to announce the founding of the Kingdom of Netheril again.

Thus bypassing this menacing war!

have to say.

In addition to losing the land in my hometown, it will also damage morale a bit.

In terms of approach and thinking, there is nothing wrong with [Iolum]'s proposal.

after all.

If you pack up Xinruan and run away now.

The loss is not that big.

Moreover, with a large number of [Floating Cities] serving as mobile bases, they are like a floating fleet group, and they are definitely the strongest nomads.

Basically, in the [World of Toril], there is no problem in wandering casually!

If they let go of their dignity and go around robbing and cutting leeks, they will become a super gangster group that everyone will worry about, and will be almost unstoppable...

People like [Felin Demon Sunflower] can't even catch up with them, they can only watch [Floating City] from afar and run away very fast!

but.

Not long after the war started, both sides had particularly spare strength.

[Iolum]’s thoughts.

no doubt.

Some are extremely unpleasant...

Especially some of the [Grand Arcanists] who had killed or injured their relatives and friends and were extremely proud, seemed a little unacceptable to this.

He sternly rejected his proposal without hesitation.

They hold the trump card, even if they know the outcome of [Iolum]'s prophecy.

They still have completely different views on the outcome of the war...

Most of the other [Grand Arcanists] had similar thoughts and did not think that they had no chance of winning.

Saw this situation.

[Iolum] Naturally, he has nothing to say.

After all, every [Grand Arcanist] is arrogant and paranoid.

Extremely difficult to convince!

Even though he is the leader, there is nothing he can do to change this.

But, on the other hand, just as [Iolum] cannot convince the other party who thinks he has a chance of winning to run away together, the other party cannot convince [Iolum] who thinks he has no chance of winning to stay and die together...

For a while.

[Iolum] subconsciously thought about his own retreat...

As the leader of the other party, he has tried his best to help the other party.

But the other party persisted.

Then don’t blame him for being alone...

As a [Spellcaster], and an outstanding person among them.

Escape and self-protection are definitely compulsory courses for every [Grand Arcanist]!

As the strongest [Grand Arcanist], [Iolum] is even more of a master among them!

runs fast! Hidden deep! Stay safe!

Trinity, ultimate professionalism!

Of course, as the top leader, he couldn't just leave without a trace.

That would definitely cause chaos!

so.

A little necessary arrangement is necessary...

Just like that, in the following time.

[Iolem], while taking care of his weaknesses, gradually began to delegate power to various [Grand Arcanists] who were trustworthy and capable enough to prepare for his own escape. Do the preparation work in advance.

Until one day a few years later.

He disappeared silently into his [Floating City].

Afterwards, there was a brief period of confusion.

Since all important powers had been allocated in advance, the situation in the [Kingdom of Netheril] quickly returned to normal.

No actual damage was caused.

Then, through the cryptic information left by [Iolum], the [Grand Arcanist] including [Karsus] quickly determined the fact that the other party was not dead.

In order to fool the lower class civilians and stabilize their emotions.

The [Grand Arcanists] naturally did not speak out about the fact that the other party had run away.

Instead, he made up an excuse for the disappearance of [Iolum] that the other party was too old and his soul had relapsed from old wounds. He had no choice but to run to the outside world to find other ways to extend his life...

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that as the inventor of [Iolum's Immortality Technique].

【Iolum】.

A being who has lived for thousands of years and is still alive and kicking.

It is really difficult to die naturally...

besides.

Faced with an opponent who ran away so decisively and neatly.

Some [Grand Arcanists] who had high confidence in the outcome of the war could not help but have a very realistic retreat in their hearts.

I began to face up to the seriousness of the problem, and secretly wondered whether I should prepare more backup plans.

For example: secretly build a [Floating City] and place it in a secret location abroad. Once something goes wrong, run away quickly...
