Green Monster Epic

“By order of the Duke, to preserve our strength and inflict greater damage on the enemy, our army will retreat 30 miles from now on and garrison at Maple Leaf Town.”

The day after the Duke was invited by the King to the palace to discuss the war situation, an envoy, bearing Duke Angelo's token, began to issue orders.

General Adili, Duke Angelo's deputy, was somewhat hesitant. This differed significantly from the defense plan the Duke had discussed with him earlier. Now, merely a royal messenger arriving with the Duke's token was disrupting the battle lines they had painstakingly arranged, which seemed rather hasty.

For a Legendary figure, a straight-line distance of just over two hundred miles was nothing; at most, it would take only a magical hour to return. If there were truly significant changes, Duke Angelo should have returned in person to hand over command and give instructions to Adili.

However, although Adili felt something was amiss, the Duke was, after all, a Legendary, and he was going to Brightstream City, which was guarded by several Legendaries. If anything really happened, there should have been some indication.

In the end, Adili still followed the envoy's instructions. After receiving the Duke's token, he began to withdraw the troops in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the defending forces in several other directions also received the same orders. This, in turn, made Adili feel that the plan was feasible. If his judgment was correct and the decisive battle with the demon army was about to begin, then shrinking the defensive lines was indeed the most effective response.

The reason for dispersing the forces in the past was to push the defensive lines forward and occupy more land so that enough food could be grown. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for their remnant army to persist for so many years.

The movements of the demon army were somewhat surprising, and they couldn't help but feel a bit wary. Faced with the large-scale retreat of the human army, the demons didn't react at all, merely watching the movements on the human front with cold eyes, completely abandoning their previous frequent attacks.

The more mysterious the opponent's reaction, the more vigilant Adili and the other front-line commanders became. And under such a reaction from the demons, the instructions from the royal messengers became even more convincing. Perhaps the kingdom had its own channels to detect the demons' movements, which was why they made this decision.

White clouds dotted the sky. Even with the sun's presence, it didn't bring much warmth to this vast land. Instead, the melting ice in the wilderness lowered the temperature considerably.

Suddenly, the sky seemed to dim a bit. Those with keen senses looked up. Although the sun was still dazzling, some people eventually noticed that a corner of the round sun had been bitten off by something and was gradually expanding.

"It's finally here!!"

In the nameless valley, around Archduke Gul'dan, stood six demons exuding a bloody and fierce aura, arranged according to their strength and size. Among them was the tiefling mage who had originally guarded the valley.

"Unseal the ice!! Prepare the summoning ritual!!"

The reason the demons didn't react when the human army retreated was that their commander had been summoned to this valley by Gul'dan, to complete the final and most important step of the plan entrusted to them by their great lord.

The solid ice, under the hands of the tiefling mage and his subordinate spellcasting demons, slowly turned into turbid water, flowing out along the valley's stream, stirring up waves of foul odor. Corpses that were not yet completely thawed flowed everywhere with ice chips and water, intercepted by teams of demons who had been waiting for a long time, and thrown into the slowly rotating obsidian magic circle that had begun to emit black smoke.

"Whoosh!!!"

The black pillar of light that soared into the sky, even hundreds of miles away, could be felt with its intense magical fluctuations. The sky seemed to have been split open by a weapon, revealing a hellish scene of lava and volcanic eruptions through the crack in the void.

And in this purgatory world full of lava and flames, on the endless black land, terrifying demon figures were arranged in orderly formations, roaring to the sky, frantically waving their weapons and claws.

With an extra finger on each hand, wearing a set of silver-bright chainmail, and a long cloak fluttering naturally behind him, the demon lord Graz'zt, the Dark Prince, was now looking up at the sky. Just like the sky in the Feywild, the dark sky of the 45th layer of the Abyss finally welcomed a ray of light, the light of the material world that had never appeared in the Abyss for tens of thousands of years.

"My children, the time for blood and slaughter has come!!!"

Greed flashed in Graz'zt's eyes. For countless millennia, he had been plotting to drag the Feywild into the Abyss and make it another layer of his dominion. It was a pity that the Feywild was protected by countless powerful gods, and the strong plane's barriers sheltered it. Every time he created chaos by striking at the followers developed in the Feywild, he was eventually discovered and suppressed by these gods, making all his plans come to naught.

But who would have thought that one day, the native creatures and god's followers of the Feywild would come to him, and actively create opportunities for him, providing materials and flesh for plane passage.

Such a good opportunity was naturally what the Dark Prince sought. He could roughly guess what the other party's plan was, but he didn't care. He hoped to take this opportunity to drag the long-coveted Feywild into the endless Abyss and make it a new layer in the Abyss.

Adding a new layer would naturally reward Graz'zt, the meritorious person, with the Abyss's will. After gaining favor and increasing his strength, he would have the ability to challenge Demogorgon and seize his title and position as Demon Prince!!

Of course, those guys in the material world who let the wolf into the house must also be aware of the evil intentions of this demon lord Graz'zt. While cooperating with him, they must also have methods to deal with Graz'zt. It was just that they still needed these guys now, so they allowed them to wreak havoc in the old lands of the Spring Country. Otherwise, with the human army accumulated by the Lionheart Kingdom, it would be enough to annihilate and suppress this demon rebellion.

Each had their own plans and their own confidence. One after another, formations of tens of thousands of people disappeared into the pillar of light summoned by the flesh and blood altar. Graz'zt turned his head and faintly instructed the figures behind him: "This time, you go ahead. I will wait here for your good news. Collect enough flesh and blood and souls to summon me to the Feywild."

"Of course, if you delay my affairs or let this plan fail, then you don't need to come back!!"

The faint words didn't have many emotional changes, but the demon commanders, who knew Graz'zt's character well, lowered their heads to express their determination: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will certainly not let you down!!"

Yassas, the Drow commander of Hell, Avazi, the Giant Bull Demon, and Sasha, the Hell Human Warlock, were all demigod existences and Graz'zt's most trusted subordinates. After solemnly expressing their determination to their lord, they stepped onto the flesh and blood altar without hesitation.

Due to the influence of the solar eclipse, this time, using millions of human flesh and blood as sacrifices and materials, a full 700,000 elite demon troops were summoned from the 45th layer of the Abyss. In terms of strength, it was probably on par with, or even stronger than, all the demon armies sent to the Ferman world in the previous 5 years, because there were as many as 30 legendary powerhouses who set foot on the flesh and blood altar this time.

Although the movement in the nameless valley could only affect a hundred miles in radius in terms of celestial phenomena, when the huge beam of light from the flesh and blood altar shot straight into the sky, stirring up waves of magical ripples, many powerhouses in Lionheart City, the capital of the Lionheart Kingdom thousands of miles away, and the Pope in the underground palace of the God of War, also noticed it, not to mention Mingxi City, the capital of the Spring Kingdom, which was even closer.

"Hahaha, it's here, it's finally here!!!"

Only two days had passed since the last night's banquet to entertain several legends and the frontline generals of the country, but the appearance of the Mingxi City Palace had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

The main buildings of the palace, built of marble, were covered with layers of bones. Before, you could occasionally see figures in the city, but now it was a real ghost town, with no trace of human habitation. Only in the east of the city, there was still a little dim and grand light, looming in this solar eclipse.

Bones that seemed to be naturally formed in the palace were piled up layer by layer, constructing a bone gate in the center of the palace's wide garden. Skulls were embedded on the gate, and there were intricate patterns.

A crazy figure stood in front of the bone gate, unrestrained. At his feet, eight figures kneeling on the bones glared angrily. It turned out that they were the eight legendary powerhouses who participated in the banquet two days ago.

"William, you old dog, I curse your soul to be embedded in the Wall of the Faithless for eternity, suffering endless torment."

"William, why!! Why!!"

The other kingdom leaders, along with the few servants and guards in the palace, had all become materials in this bone gate. Only these eight precious legendary powerhouses were left until now, until the solar eclipse began.

No one had thought that King William, who had always been wise and benevolent in recent years, would make such a self-destructive move at the last moment. A night banquet not only captured several generals in his army, but also used the despicable means of adding Datura flower juice to the wine, and cooperated with the manpower brought by Wales to capture the eight legends in one fell swoop.

Legends were not so easy to be captured alive. Their vigilance and various life-saving methods meant that even if they were schemed against, as long as they were given a chance, the situation would be different. It was a pity that King William and Wales had made full preparations for this capture. The magic circle maze that the kingdom rarely used, the tasteless and inconspicuous Datura flower juice, and the psychic control spells cast by Wales, finally accomplished this almost impossible thing.

"Everyone, the destruction of my Spring Kingdom is inevitable. Can you feel the waves of grinding tides? That is the demons opening the flesh and blood altar, taking advantage of the solar eclipse to weaken the plane barriers, and summoning more demon armies to invade my Ferman world."

"I am not reconciled. It is clear that all of this is not the fault of the millions of people in my Spring Kingdom, but just a conspiracy set up by those with ulterior motives who are trying to stir up the current balance in the Ferman world."

"Since they dare to do things that collude with demons, then I have no scruples. I must avenge the millions of innocent people in my country who have died in vain, and I must also take a hard bite on those guys to avenge the extinction of my country's millennium of national birthday."

"However, relying on my remnant power from one person and one country is still a bit short, so I can only ask a few of you to help!!"

"… …"

Perhaps influenced by the remaining kindness in his heart, although King William's eyes were full of madness at this time, he still did not forget to nag a few words to the legends kneeling in front of the bone gate.

"Puff ~ ~ ~"

"Your Majesty, time is very precious, we can't waste it like this, can we?"

Wales's face was still exquisite, mostly still so graceful and luxurious, but the scepter in his hand suddenly turned into a murderous aura that took people's lives. A sharp barb grew out of the end of the scepter, and as he gently pushed it forward, a legendary mage suddenly and simply lost his life.

"Your Majesty, I, I can still help you kill the enemy... Spare me... Ah..."

Casually, Wales's scepter repeatedly tapped on the chests of the eight legends on the ground, easily reaping the lives of these strongest people in the Ferman world, leaving behind only a few pairs of eyes that were unwilling to die, full of hatred and vicious eyes, staring at Wales and King William.

The bodies and blood of the legends themselves contained huge energy. As the blood flowing out of the piercing thorns permeated into the accumulated bones under their feet, the entire bone gate suddenly seemed to have life. The bones slowly wriggled, swallowing the eight corpses on the ground, and then eight crystal skulls emitting a faint light appeared on the gate that should have been more than ten meters high.

"Creak!!!!"

The bone-built gate slowly opened, and a deep and evil aura permeated from the gate. Just as a crack in the door opened, countless large hands stretched out from the crack, pushing, pulling, and dragging, trying to squeeze out of the door.

"I have done what I should do, the rest is up to you, I will be watching you!!"

King William looked at this terrifying scene without any fear, just staring at the graceful and polite blond man in front of him with his crazy eyes.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we devils value reputation and contracts the most. Since we have signed a contract with you, we will naturally not let you down."

This terrifying building in front of him, constructed of accumulated bones, was a Gate to Hell, which had the same effect as the flesh and blood altar used by demons. Wales, who looked like a human, was actually a devil from the endless abyss.

In things involving demons, how could there be no figure of devils, especially in this rich and colorful material world full of various desires, their existence was even more indispensable.

I'm sorry, I'm not very satisfied with this chapter, but I don't want to stop updating, so I can only send it out first, and I will correct it when I have time later.

The weather is really too cold, I don’t have the motivation to write, I will try to explode a few more days next week.
