This world is dark and chaotic. Two thousand years have passed since the birth of the Abyss. The originally dry and quiet Abyss plane has gradually become lively.
Countless abyssal demon species shuttle among the dark space bubbles. There are demon lords who are powerful enough to communicate with the will of the abyss and control an entire space bubble. There are also countless little demons with chaotic wills who only know how to devour each other.
Some of the demon lords fought with each other and continuously annexed each other, connecting the space bubbles to form an abyss layer comparable to a continent.
If you want to break through the fourth level and connect with the will of the abyss to become a demon lord, you must change the essential structure of the soul fire. This is no longer something that can be done by swallowing other demon species.
However, some demons who contacted Maria's world discovered that human consciousness and souls were the key to becoming fourth-level demon lords. To even climb to a higher level, they needed to devour countless human consciousnesses. This This caused countless demons to cast greedy eyes on Maria's world.
Every powerful demon is coveting the land of life in the world of Maria, and Stikua, as a famous demon lord in the abyss, has a large number of followers and demon believers in the world of Maria. .
Within the Kingdom of Mara—
The dark castle was submerged in layers of grass and dead trees. It was an abandoned castle. There were originally shadows of villages outside the castle, but now it became deserted.
At this moment, inside the ruined castle, dozens of people wearing dark red cloaks formed a circle, and a huge witchcraft guidance array shaped like eyes was carved on the ground.
The ten people standing in the center of the evil formation cut their arms at this moment and poured their own blood into the grooves of the formation. They immediately saw that the special power contained in the blood was activated immediately, and the entire formation The method spun, and a black light swept up from the ground, covering the entire castle hall.
This is an evil sacrificial ceremony. As the power continues to envelope, everyone is transformed into inhuman monsters, and the few people standing in the center of the altar are instilled with a large amount of power. Among them The two of them actually transformed into extraordinary creatures like powerful demon kin.
"Heckfuss, I need more sacrifices, more power, and immortality, so do whatever you can to sacrifice to me!"
"More sacrifices, more power!"
The face of the leader was revealed, and it was a slightly old face. It was Heckfuss. During the Tutan Dynasty, he was suppressed by the alchemists of the city-state of Sheen and the underworld priests of the Sky Temple. He was the leader of the True God Church. Strength has never developed.
Heckforth set his sights on the further western world and Zhongzhou. Not long after arriving here, the True God Church encountered war and chaos in Zhongzhou.
"Praise be to you, my lord!"
"The great demon king - Stikua!"
"I will completely establish your kingdom on this land!"
"Recapture Zhongzhou!"
"Glory to our homeland!"
"In the name of God, let the light shine again on the land that belongs to God!"
Armenia, the third generation of Pope of Light, shouted slogans and declared the will of the gods on the high Temple of Light. The entire army of the Church of Light was immediately dispatched, and the various kingdoms and principalities that were already ready to move immediately responded to the gods. call.
A large number of priests, nobles, and even kings and grand dukes led the army across the border and poured into Zhongzhou, especially the three principalities of Rosse, Kver, and Gracchus that bordered Zhongzhou. The Sumeron Kingdom had conflicts over territorial and religious issues on the border. This time, a three-nation coalition formed and launched a war against the Sumeron Kingdom in Zhongzhou.
The world situation, which had been peaceful for more than a hundred years, was once again broken. A large number of nobles and knights picked up swords and guns, put on armors on ships, and rushed to the battlefield. One by one, soldiers left for a foreign land again.
Every war represents an opportunity. Some people can leap from farmers to nobles with large fiefdoms during the war, or even from nobles and bastards to kings and princes.
In order to cope with the invasion from the south, the Kingdom of Zhongzhou hired a large number of soldiers and mercenaries and were sent to the battlefield. Mercenary regiments and mercenary squads rushed to the battlefield. Today they fight for this kingdom, and tomorrow they fight for another noble. Protect the territory, and attack another earl for another archduke the day after tomorrow.
Countries, large and small, were continuously annexed and disappeared during this war. Many countries quickly surrendered after the arrival of the Knights of the Church of Light, while a large number of countries also resisted.
In this war, in addition to the magical confrontation between various priests and knights, priests and knights composed of extraordinary powers, organized to release large-scale magical spells, tearing apart the battlefield, there are also forces from The alchemical cannons and muskets refined by alchemists have exerted their powerful war potential on the battlefield.
At the same time, an existence called the Storm Mercenary Group rose up in war after war. The leader of the mercenary group named Linn Akhenaton continued to rise in war after war. Finally, during a war, he established his own mercenary kingdom instead of the original Arabel Kingdom. He was the first person to ascend the throne as a mercenary and become a king.
The Kingdom of Akhenaten rose in Zhongzhou, and Lin En even took out the Sword of Royal Power, claiming to be the Chosen King. Countless mercenaries came to seek refuge with him, and the scattered Templar Knights came here one after another, and he quickly established A huge dynasty started.
However, the Akhenaton dynasty established by Lin En suffered successive defeats in the war with the Light Church expeditionary force in the south. Most of the countries in Zhongzhou gradually surrendered to the Light Church and accepted the Light Church's garrison and faith. The territory expanded rapidly.
The Storm Mercenary Group led by Lin En was retreating steadily. Even with the support of several orc kingdoms in the north, it could not reverse its decline. Throughout Zhongzhou, the flag of the Church of Light and the Knights were galloping across the land.
The flags of the Church of the Light were planted all over Zhongzhou, and the countries that originally believed in the Church of the Sun threw themselves into the arms of the Church of the Sun. A large number of knights and priests of the Church of the Sun were either killed or driven away.
At this time, the Kingdom of Sumeron, which was about to become a kingdom, burst out with huge power in its dying struggle, and defeated the coalition forces of the three principalities of Rosse, Kver, and Gracchus in a battle on the Sumeron Plain. In an instant, changed the situation.
The coalition forces were defeated and abandoned, and at this moment, the Kingdom of Sumeron began to expel the priests and Templars of the Church of the Sun and the Church of Light from within the kingdom, demolished the churches on both sides, banned belief in the Church of the Sun and the Church of Light, and stationed troops on the border, watching eagerly. .
As a result, the Knights of the Church of Light and the Kingdom of Akhenaten, who were originally at war, immediately ceased fighting. Both sides withdrew their troops and stabilized the situation. The situation in the entire Zhongzhou suddenly gained a strange stability.
The mercenary kingdom of Akhenaten, the Kingdom of Sumeron, and the Kingdom of Light that expanded to Zhongzhou formed a tripartite state. 8)
