The Truth of Magic

Chapter 495 Northland Strategy

Until Antinoya brought Zhao Xu back to Arthur in the real world, he still felt dizzy in his mind.

This time spanning thousands of years seemed like a small "coincidence" event to him, but Zhao Xu had already roughly felt the trembling of his soul.

He even wondered if he had left behind some fragments before the catastrophe happened thousands of years before the fall of the gods.

The possible directions of "losing memory", "world assimilation", and "integrating into imprints" made Zhao Xu realize that "time travel" is not just once and for all as imagined.

This also made him re-examine the established fact that he can be "reborn".

A "secret" that he has not been able to figure out until now.

And when they returned to the altar in the pit again, the dark lord Graz'zt had already fled.

The venue was still filled with gunpowder and smoke. When Graz'zt appeared, the black pus, which was like a magma eruption, had cooled and condensed all over the place.

Perhaps the moment Zhao Xu turned around decisively and met his "time power", the demon lord knew that his tricks had come to an end.

This also relieved Zhao Xu a little.

At that time, Grazte appeared behind Zhao Xu, so stiff, which essentially explained one thing.

Launching the ability to travel through time has exhausted all of its mobility.

It couldn't even control the ability to activate it only on Antinoya, not on Zhao Xu.

At this time, both Zhao Xu and Antinoya carefully looked at the devil altar in front of them.

It has to be said that after being brushed by Grazte like this, Antinoya herself was also annoyed.

"In this way, I'm afraid it's about the same as what you guessed."

Looking at the bottom of the altar, Antinoya saw a stone tablet engraved with inscriptions on purgatory and said, "This altar is used as a lead for summoning. Once successful, these summoned creatures will offer sacrifices to open up the final portal."

"A portal opened from the abyss to Arthur's world is a journey of pleasure for the demons, but it is the beginning of pain for the entire Northland." Zhao Xu said with emotion.

Arthur has many strong players, but this is for high-end combat power.

As for the adventurers and soldiers in the entire Northland, and even the local defense forces, what they have to face is from the cowardly demon, the Babu demon, to the six-armed snake demon, the Balor demon, etc. Demon family.

Unless the whole of Arthur does his best to help, these mid- and low-end demon armies can't be killed at all. The only thing that limits them is the throughput of the portal.

Moreover, these demons have been fighting the devils on the side of hell on the bloody battlefield, and they have rich combat experience.

"That's right."

Antinoya frowned slightly, "The point is, I'm afraid Grazte has left quite a few backhands like this in the Northern Alliance. Even if the official forces intervene and plow the whole land into three parts, it will be difficult to find all these hidden things." An altar in an underground pit."

"The army of hell and demons is about to descend on Arthur." Zhao Xu made a silent prophecy.

The neat steles, as well as the rough altars that are not artificially built, all show that these altars are mass-produced.

There must be a huge organization behind it that is constantly manipulating and operating.

For Arthur, a disaster that is still painful in retrospect many years later, a disaster that can kill all men born in a certain year in a small country, is a ladder to the sky for some second devils, and it is a way to save their lives recipe.

Some things are just that cruel.

Zhao Xuming knew that Purgatory's hands had reached out to Arthur, but he couldn't uproot them. He could only watch them spread like cancer cells.

At this time, Zhao Xu remembered that in the mutant scorpion's lair, apart from Antinoya's "brass treasure chest" dowry, the ceiling of the lair was full of corpses hanging.

And these hanging corpses are exactly the same as those corpses hidden in this underground pit.

Zhao Xu immediately told Antinoya about this past in detail.

"That's it." Antinoya nodded and said, "That Tang De's nephew who came to encircle you at that time was probably the 'claw' extended by this force, but you cut it off at that time. "

"As for this matter, I'm afraid they don't want to attract the attention of the church, so they searched and arrested it in the early stage, and it seems to be nothing afterward."

After Zhao Xu thought about it for a while, he already understood what Antinoya meant.

The devil and the devil, during the Battle of Demon Sealing, separated two ends and invaded Arthur's Northland. It was not an independent event at all, or it itself was a rare tacit understanding between hell and the abyss.

Even on the side of the devil, it is not just Graz'zt, the demon lord, who ends up.

There must be a "mysterious organization" connected to the abyssal demon lords in the entire Northland, and even Tang De is just a more obvious node of this dark network.

The Northern Alliance and even the entire Northland have more than a dozen major forces. This network covers an area far beyond anyone's imagination.

Looking at Zhao Xu's heavy expression, Antinoya comforted, "The Battle of Falling Star Lake was the first time you showed your sword to the Northland. At that time, you could only rely on external forces."

"As for now, if you want to be Arthur's most invincible sword, you must have the courage and courage to slowly open this behind-the-scenes net and let him become your touchstone to become a legend."

"Otherwise, you really think that the achievement of legend can be achieved by fighting monsters all the way. The knowledge of killing spells is only a small part of the spell system. Various infiltration and control spells are waiting for you to develop and use."

Antinoya, who knew little about it, saw the actual altar, and combined with another incident provided by Zhao Xu, she had already guessed about the intentions of the abyss and hell.

After thinking about this, Zhao Xu stood up on the spot, his eyes showing determination and anger.

The lack of food and clothing at the beginning of the time travel in the previous life, and the subsequent battle to seal the demons were two disasters that caused the population of the entire earth to decline sharply.

Not to mention the people on Earth, the innocent people in the entire Northland alone have suffered countless deaths and injuries.

How many small towns that were originally comfortable have turned into scorched earth, and some small towns have even directly become a paradise for demons. Human corpses are hung on the outer walls, and the bones are piled up into altars and towers to offer sacrifices to the lords.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's heart tightened, as if an invisible force was grabbing him tightly.

His tone was indifferent, "Teacher, is it because the gathering place where the earth will cross in the future is the northern land north of the entire ice sheet mountain range, so this possible disaster will appear here?"

Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu softly, "From the moment the first legendary mage strayed into the earth's universe, this plan has been possible to implement, and it even has to be traced back to the end of the catastrophe. A covenant between the gods."

"And on the other side of Purgatory, they will naturally make arrangements for this."

"Gods, prepare enough believers for yourself for the 'Twilight War' in the future. Similarly, the abyss and hell also need to replenish souls as reserves."

"They will definitely invade Arthur, and choosing the location where the earthlings cross is just a consideration of maximizing their interests."

"The feeling of being treated like a pawn and a pig is really uncomfortable."

Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing out loud, but his smile seemed to be about to explode.

"Even though Arthur's main gods can already get rid of the restrictions of believers, they will still develop their own gods and chosen people, and continue to expand believers in Arthur."

"The harvested land is here. If you don't cut the handful of wheat, someone else will wield the sickle during the harvest season. A stronger farmer will have the capital to annex others."

Antinoya pointed out the key to the ten thousand years of faith dispute.

"This is what he taught me. If I don't want to be a farmer who wields a scythe to reap, and I don't want to be a farmer who has worked hard for a year without any harvest, then I will be a traveler and witness the ebb and flow of Arthur. History rises and falls.”

"As long as I don't become a god, I won't be excluded by the will of the world and leave Arthur. I can wait for the end of this world with the strength of a peak. That's why I can witness the death of the third goddess of magic like today Appear."

"Mentor, is there someone on the seventeenth outer interface that can threaten you?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"That's for sure, but it's rare. Some existences are already conceptually incomprehensible. Before you can understand why this world was born, you will never know how many people are hiding in this world." Antinoya said with emotion.

"Then what's next for you? After verifying your identity in Oru City and getting the supplies and going back to Falling Star Town, what's your plan?"

Hearing these questions, Zhao Xu replied generously, "It's fine if you didn't know before."

"Since I know that with Tang De as the key, there is such a 'network' of hidden abyss all over them, so I will naturally eradicate it."

"Perhaps these people who betrayed Arthur have their own reasons. They will say loudly that Arthur must not be able to defeat the incomparably powerful hell and abyss forces. They are essentially sacrificing some inferior people for human beings and other races. , to seek the continuation of the fire of the entire civilization.”

"But I think, they should go down to the abyss and talk to the devil."
