In another world, seven powerful kings check and balance each other. In addition to having their own most elite legions, they also have countless affiliated territories. The rulers of these territories choose to submit to one of the seven kings for some reason. As a position, you pay taxes, provide soldiers, and obey various temporary orders. This is actually not much different from the human countries on the mainland.
Among the seven kings, strange races such as the Beholder Tyrant of the Beholder Clan and the Mastermind of the Illithid Clan have relatively small spheres of influence. They can establish themselves in other worlds and rely entirely on the powerful and terrifying talents of their own races, such as The magic conductor of the beholder and the mind control of the illithid, because they control the area and have relatively few foreign subordinates under their control, and the likes of the dark elves' Matron Herest and the Thor demon's prince Mozatzphele. The kings of the kings are completely the opposite. Although their tribesmen are large in number, they still control an extremely vast foreign territory and have countless lords who are loyal to them. The dark elves and Thor demons are far inferior to the beholder and the illithid in talent, but The numerical advantage of the corps is enough to make up for this shortcoming.
The Abyss of the Earth is the territory of the Demon Prince, one of the seven kings of the other world. It is located on the edge of the Netherworld and is the only passage connecting the other world and the continent of Esrael. The lord who sits here is the Demon Prince Mosaz. One of Filer's most capable generals, the half-demon Kuze, is a demon who is cruel by nature. For these demons, there are only three things to do in their lives, namely: fighting, eating and sleeping. Therefore, the demon prince All the lords under his command are all half-demon, and they all have more or less distant or recent Thor demon blood.
The lord of the Earth's Core Abyss, the half-demon Kurze has a bloodline very close to that of the demon prince Mozatzfer. It is said that his family line was originally the ruler here, but thousands of years ago the demon prince Mozatzphele After Le's father conquered this place, Kuze's family bloodline changed. Although they are still the rulers of this area, the rulers of the past generations have become half-demon like Kuze.
Due to the innate advantages of Thor demons, they are better at melee combat. Therefore, most of the entire Thor demon race are warriors and thieves. Only a small number of magicians and priests who believe in evil gods benefit from the thin cord in their bodies. With the blood of the demon royal family, the half-demon Kuze stepped into the legendary realm 50 years ago and became a powerful legendary warrior. For this reason, Kuze has expressed his complacency more than once, but he has No one is allowed to mention the time when the demon Thor conquered his ancestors. Once anyone is touched, he will be executed with the most cruel means immediately.
Kuze has been a little annoyed recently. The orders from the Demon Prince have overwhelmed him. This year's offerings have tripled compared to previous years, and a large number of soldiers have to be mobilized. This is obviously a precursor to a large-scale war. Kuze is not good at governing at all. Territory, the entire abyss of the earth is filled with endless violence, and it is completely a naked predatory of the weak. Although the combat effectiveness of the warriors here is much stronger than that of other territories, the reputation of cruelty also scares away most outside merchants. , but Kuze doesn't care. If there is no food, he can ask for it from the lords who surrender to him, or even organize an army to rob it. That is much more cost-effective than developing his own economy.
In addition to dealing with the above recruitment, Kurze is also troubled by the illithids that have recently appeared in his territory. As the mortal enemy of the demon prince, the appearance of illithids in any territory under the rule of the demon Thor will attract a crazy siege. Attack at all costs until someone on both sides falls completely, but this time the entry of the illithid team was secret. By the time Kurze discovered the opponent's traces, the illithids and their legions of servants had already passed through. Kuze's direct territory entered the territory of a two-headed ogre that was attached to Kuze. When Kuze mobilized his army to encircle and suppress those illithids with unknown intentions, an illithid team passed through Kuze's territory. This startled Kurze, who thought that the war between the illithids and the Thor demons was about to break out, so he tried his best to shrink his troops and prepare to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.
The development of the matter was completely beyond the expectation of the half-demon Kuze. The illithids did not seem to pay attention to it, which gave Kuze a false alarm. However, after the illithids left, Kuze Ze began to worry about how to explain this matter to the superiors. The loss of those lords, warriors and wealth was nothing at all. There was a shortage of everything in the abyss of the earth, but there was no shortage of warlike warriors. As for wealth, at most, it could be taken advantage of before the war. When you find a way, you can take some time to get it back from other lords, and maybe you can also solve the part that was paid to the Demon Prince.
The most troublesome thing for Kuze is how to explain to the demon prince the entry of the illithid. When facing the illithid, it is simply afraid of the enemy. It shrinks all its troops and allows the opponent to traverse its territory. If it causes Exhausted by the demon prince's wrath, Kuze believed that he wouldn't be able to survive at all.
"Lord, someone wants to see you outside." The attendant's voice came from outside the room, which made Kuze very angry. It let out a harsh roar and scolded the attendant who interrupted his thoughts, and then The reporter had long been familiar with his lord's temper. He lowered his head and let Kuze scold him for an hour. Then he raised his head and said with a humble smile: "That man said he could help you solve your current troubles."
"Solve it, trouble." Kuze's heart moved slightly. He knew very well that he was very strong in cutting people, but he couldn't use his brain, so it would be natural if someone gave him advice, but Kuze would often do it when things went well. After it's over, kill the guy who gave it the idea to prevent it from stealing your limelight, so recently few people dare to speak in front of Kuze.
"Bring him in to see me." Kuze shook his head and said with a sly smile: "You happen to be hungry, hehe."
The heavy door was slowly pushed open, and obscure sounds echoed in the empty castle. A dark shadow silently entered the hall and appeared in front of the half-demon lord Kuze, who tilted his head. He looked up and down at the guy who asked to see him, wondering which part of his body was more delicious. However, Kuze didn't think that this guy, whose whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, had much meat. It could barely be regarded as a meal. hors d'oeuvres before dinner,
"Dear Lord, I believe you must be troubled by many things right now." The dark shadow actually said straight to the point: "Is it because of the huge amount of supplies, or the illithid that appeared in your territory not long ago. "
Kuze was slightly startled. He slapped his seat hard. Hundreds of elite guards immediately appeared in the empty castle hall, holding weapons covered with sharp barbs and aiming at the dark shadow. Kuze asked his men to surround the opponent, but his own heart was in a state of confusion. He didn't know if the news had spread, otherwise how could the guy in front of him dare to come to him and take the initiative to talk about this? something,
"I don't think I have any ill intentions towards the Lord. Why bother to mobilize the troops like this?" The dark shadow moved casually, and it seemed that its arm hidden under the cloak was waving sideways, but so With a small and inconspicuous movement, the hundreds of sharp weapons pointed at it were immediately covered with a layer of rust, as if they had gone through tens of thousands of years.
Seeing that his most elite warriors were unable to fight back, the half-demon lord Kuze waved his hand and motioned for them to go down. When only two of them were left in the entire castle hall, the dark shadow spoke again: "It seems that the Lord is very sincere, so please take a look at something first. I believe you will understand what you should do after reading it."
After the dark shadow said this, without any movement, a prism-shaped crystal suddenly appeared in mid-air in front of Kuze. Kuze recognized that this kind of crystal is called "image crystal", which can record some important things. He completely recorded the scene so that it could be replayed when needed in the future. He hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his palm and grabbed the image crystal in his hand.
"Pa." Kuze gently crushed the reflection crystal in his palm, and a clear picture was immediately displayed in front of him, with red skin, a head with a curved horn, and an arm swinging back and forth behind him. The missing tail turned out to be the half-demon Shadow Dancer who sneaked up on Ryan in Seike City. However, this legendary strongman now looked very embarrassed. The flesh and blood under his ribs were blurred, and a section of white bones was exposed, and the body's There are basically no complete parts in other parts. It can be seen that it has just experienced a battle.
"Kukic." The half-demon lord said this name in surprise, because he actually saw his favorite son become so embarrassed. In his memory, it seemed that this was the first time that this happened, but The next image surprised Kuze even more, because his son Kukic, as a legendary shadow dancer, was no match for the human magician. He was passively beaten from the beginning, even if it was There were other comrades around him, and together they could barely protect themselves. Kuze was very surprised. He couldn't figure out when such powerful people appeared on the surface. Aren't they the best at killing each other
Finally, when the half-demon shadow dancer Kukic disappeared into the air and prepared to launch another surprise attack on the human magician, the human magician directly froze the surrounding air together, and Kukic naturally also It was not spared. It was frozen in a lump of ice and became a perfect target. It eventually exploded into pieces in the hot dragon's breath and finally melted completely, leaving not even a trace of dregs.
