Burnt Burt, the capital of the misty mountains, the capital of the San Antonio Rio Amu Mountains, he was civilized by the spice and gem processing industry, and is located in the surrounding mountains.
Its history is quite legendary. At first, it was just a fertile mountain village, but the most dangerous thing is that there are dangerous beasts among such mountains. In the legend, among the misty mountains and mountains, There are also demons, they are omnipotent, but they feed on people.
According to legend, as long as someone walks into the mountains, no one can come back. There are often people missing in the mountain city, and the people in the mountains say that they were taken away by demons.
But more than 700 years ago, there was once a brave young man named Amu, but he took the initiative to walk into the mountains, fight wits and courage with demons, and obtained the technology that enriched his hometown - named "Long Ai". Spice seeds and gemstone mining and processing technology.
And Amu himself, who used a lot of wealth to build this Fenbert transfer station, commercial market, and military fortress, not only became the first generation of the city's lord, but also became a hero passed down from time to time among the people of the tribe, and even gradually became even more connected. The mountain is also named after it.
Because the history is too long, no one else takes such legends seriously. After all, monsters and other things are not reliable, and there have been no disappearance incidents for a long time. As for those explorers who entered the mountains but did not return, considering The roars of the beasts that occasionally echoed in the mountains gave a more reliable explanation and conjecture about their ending.
In today's AD era, although the times have changed the surrounding environment beyond recognition, and even the gem mining areas that depend on the Amu Mountains for a living have been exhausted, the Long Ai and gem processing industries are still important in the Amu Mountains. Breadwinner.
Every year, countless caravans cross the mountains and mountains, bringing precious jade and gem ore, and taking away spices and finished gems, especially some magic gems that require special craftsmanship. The super gems here are the masters. face family.
But I am afraid that no one in the Amu people thought that the legend would become a reality one day, and the legendary story of the ancestors 700 years ago, but turned into a burden for the descendants.
"Hello, we are in debt. Please fulfill the agreement between Amu and us back then. Please return half of the wealth we deserve because of him. No money? Then use the land to pay for the money."
The ogres really exist, and the hero Amu actually signed a contract. The treasures and technologies he got from the monsters are not free, and there are still some monsters in them, and now these monsters have returned to the world , became a creditor.
Well, speaking of this, I am afraid everyone knows the true colors of these demons.
"Trolls, a lot of trolls, jungle trolls, snow trolls, fire trolls, all..."
When those hideous-faced trolls came out of the misty mountains, they even brought contracts from many years ago.
Even if it is well kept, the handwriting on the dim yellow tissue paper that has been in use for hundreds of years is already illegible. What really prevents the contract from becoming waste paper is the army of trolls that followed. In this mountainous area, more than 20 people have actually walked out. An army of trolls.
At this point, I am afraid that everyone can speculate the ins and outs of the matter. The trolls, the losers of the holy war, fled to the depths of the mountains here, so there is the so-called legend of demons. There are no rumors, but it is enough to prove the perseverance of the troll family.
According to historical records, these trolls, who are good at witchcraft and primitive shamanic teachings, have records of using potions and magic gems in various religious and magical ceremonies. They pursue the origin of the soul in herbal medicine far beyond the same time. Knowledge is power and wealth, and it is very possible for a remote mountain town to prosper again with their leaked unique knowledge.
As for why they would choose Amu to sign such an obviously impossible contract...
"...As long as a warrior who has crossed countless dangerous scenes and came to the depths of the mountains, he can save his life in the competition with our warriors, how about giving him a little gift. My family is not a wild tribe, we respect brave people. After so many years, Amu is not the only one who signed this 'half' contract, but he is the only one who has really fulfilled this step. Amu is indeed a true hero."
No one knows whether this is true or not, but this unfamiliar "neighbor" rhetoric has at least made many people feel a little better. After all, Amu is also a hero in the family. He is so respected by outsiders. Gained some face.
Of course, what really left these "creditors" swaggering was their powerful legion. A famous warrior in the mountains was slashed in half by a troll captain, and a militia organization with a total of no more than 3,000 was killed in just three hours. The whole army was destroyed. Since they couldn't defeat it and couldn't resist, they had to believe what the other party said.
The Amu Mountains are close to the uninhabited mountainous areas, and there is no imaginary enemy at all. The only permanent forces are the guards and militia of the mountain city. The former can probably deal with the troubled mountain people. The latter's main imaginary enemy is the wild beasts in the mountains, and it is necessary to organize reinforcements If so, I am afraid that the lords of other provinces will be mobilized together, which is not a matter of a while.
But the Holy Church and the Paladins, who should have actively dealt with this kind of thing, were caught in their own troubles, at least for a short time. So, in just two days, the Amu Mountain Range The mountain people cut off contact with human society and became vassals of trolls.
This is not hundreds of years ago when there was no communication in the mountains. The merchants also brought the culture and common sense of the new era. The trolls have a bad reputation. Their nature of feeding on other intelligent creatures makes the mountain people extremely afraid. Even though they said that they had changed this habit, the skull ornaments and sharp teeth on their necks made people feel uneasy.
But they did not rush to use practical actions to reverse ordinary people's understanding of it. They took the initiative to distribute food in the streets, sent good-looking troll women to play with children, and asked old hunters and mountain hunters to talk about those things. Survival experience in the mountains.
Of course, considering the sensitive self-esteem on the other side, they also admire the unique culture and legendary heroes of the mountain people.
Those rations called "bread and fruit" are very delicious, and they became popular in the city at once, and the jewelers, herbalists, and alchemists of the upper mountain villagers have obtained a large number of new formulas and precious materials, what?" The promises of a future gemstone city and an art city ruled by merchants and artisans are also exciting.
I have to say that the trolls have done a good job. This is much more effective than a forced invasion. There must be a capable person's plan and a complete set of strategic support behind it.
As a stranger who makes the whole plane "familiar", the impact of their first appearance on the world is very important. If they are the same as the cannibals in the story, I am afraid that everyone will fight with them to the end, and if they can Having a slightly toned image, such as a friendly alien who intends to integrate into the world, will at least save a lot of trouble.
Of course, not everyone among the mountain people accused all this of being a disguise, but as a result, these "smart people" soon disappeared inexplicably.
A large number of living materials were suddenly "converted". The free food and gold coins benefited all the mountain people. The trolls who were willing to throw money almost completed their strategic deployment, even the goblins hiding in the shadows. , and has also prepared the manuscript paper outside the number.
Yes, almost, the problem is not that a hero or crusader suddenly jumped out, San Antonio has a lot of troubles himself, this worthless mountain will not be ranked for a while, if something goes wrong, It's the troll itself.
"Kill them and bring their heads to the altar."
At a certain time, the amiable troll uncle last night suddenly turned into a murderous villain. of the spear.
The slaughter came suddenly and ended quickly. In less than 12 hours, when hundreds of thousands of trolls started the slaughter competition, only a few of the 170,000 people in the mountain city could survive or escape. Thousands of people, on the altar made of skeletons, there are countless dead heads placed on it. They still can't figure out why this happened, why they talked about it well yesterday, and they will die today.
The whole city was enveloped in blood and stench, and bloodthirsty trolls hunted back and forth like demons, but the survivors, who were concentrated near the city gates, were fortunate enough to witness what happened next.
All the altars were lit one by one, the red beams lit the clouds in the sky, the sun disappeared without a trace even during the day, and when the night and the red blood moon in the sky suddenly came, all the altars Blood began to boil.
Move, and finally merge into a purple blood pool.
Under the words of the troll witch doctor and shaman, the blood pool had an inexplicable relationship with the blood moon in mid-air. The blood-red light fell, but the blood pool seemed to be a living creature, getting bigger and bigger, and the blood became more and more The more viscous, in the end, the area expanded nearly tenfold and swallowed all the remaining living people.
Those who stay in the end are either young and strong brave or wise and mature old, they will become the best sacrifice.
And when the first blood-red shofar demon came out of the boiling blood pool, the great witch doctor Harlette, who had collapsed, finally breathed a sigh of relief. For the scene in front of him, the trolls destroyed the entire strategic plan. If he still fails, even as the leader of the Poison Spear Tribe, he still has no chance of surviving.
The demons with horns came out of the blood pool. They were not tall, just looking at the triangular sheep face was a little funny. The hoofs of the lower limbs were also similar to those of the half-goat, but the upper body of the half-goat was purely human. Form, nor this.
The leader of the horned horned devil, Paine, is a giant gray horned horned devil. As soon as he came out, he shook the blood on his body, and then he casually chewed the incomplete flesh and blood of the surrounding sacrifices in his mouth. Returning to the blood pool, the caster who pushed the troll away, stood on the edge of the blood pool, tore open his arm to let blood, and kept chanting incantations in his mouth, expanding the area of the gate of the lower plane.
They are scythe and horned demons. It is said that they used to be a special demonized form of the fallen half-goat and bull demons. They are also a group of demons who are good at casting spells. Making them the first pioneers has explained a lot of problems.
With the help of the Sheephorn Demon, the blood pool is getting bigger and bigger, and the Sheephorn Demon, who used up all the magic power in advance, was directly ordered by Paine to be thrown back into the blood pool. Chi's nutritional products, seeing the scene in front of him, the horned demon can only step up the spell casting, and even began to sacrifice himself by mutilating his limbs, so as to strive for the gate of the plane to stabilize as soon as possible.
Finally, when the blood pond had not jumped out of the horned demon for more than 20 minutes, a red ghost claw suddenly protruded out of it. He accidentally touched the city wall, and then grabbed a few casually. The troll and the horned devil, and then threw them directly back into the blood pool.
And while those unlucky bastards were still wailing in the air, the blood pool suddenly retreated rapidly, as if the portal was about to collapse, but Paine showed a smile that was uglier than crying. , seems to be happy
"Ah!"
Before the unfortunate person caught by the giant hand fell to the ground, the giant mouth that swallowed half of the blood pool swallowed them all in one bite, and the last miserable howl was the wailing between the teeth.
The bloody sacrifice is still going on, but the abyss lord incarnated by the giant mouth has already come to the world, and now it is only the abyss giant mouth more than 30 meters wide who has entered this world.
"Blood food, more blood food! Tasty... Tasty... Devour... Evolve!"
And this existence at least at the level of a demon earl seems to be a little confused, and he can't even speak.
"Berculus the Devourer of Purgatory? How did he come?"
The great witch doctor Harlette recognized that evil and noble existence, but was quietly backing out. The original expectation of negotiating with the demon boss was cancelled. In front of this demon lord, it was good to be able to save his life, but he should not die. .
The Devourer of Purgatory Beqiurus is an extremely qualified demon lord. Although his individual strength is considered to be the best among demon counts, he regards his appetite as more than anything, and he is undoubtedly the worst reinforcement. Harlette's army of trolls wasn't enough for him to eat.
And Bechulus seems to be stuck in the gate of the plane, he is constantly roaring, and the horned demons are busy running back and forth, trying to rescue their monarch.
Obviously, these sacrifices are not enough for such a big devil to come to the main plane, and the impatient Beqiurus has no habit of waiting. The leader of the horned demon, Paine, spent a lot of time persuading and explaining After that, Berqiurus finally retracted a little, and at least part of the blood pool space flowed out, but the eight bloody eyes with appetite and slaughter thirst showed their thirst for sure.
So, the demons jumped out of the blood pool again, and this time, it was not the "weak" like the horned demon, but the slaughtering demons such as the mad war demon, the dragon tail demon, and the swallowing demon. Some of them are tall Horses are so powerful that they can smash the heads of giants with a single punch, but some have poisonous thorn wings and start looking for their new prey in the sky.
Although there are general classifications of demons who are good at evolution and devouring, each individual evolves in a variety of strange ways, and their abilities vary greatly. It can be said that there is no identical demon in the world. If you just want to find a similar point for analogy, it will be uglier. The stronger and more ferocious the demons are, all demons are the most unwelcome guests of every plane. They can do nothing but create ruins and no man's land.
The Demon Overseer was waving a whip in mid-air, but it was not necessary, because the Demon Lord's eyes with appetite and anticipation of killing were more effective than any means of supervising the battle. The demons completed the reorganization with extremely high efficiency, and then directly slaughtered towards the outside world. , they have to find enough sacrifices for their masters, and a new round of killing night has been staged in advance.
"It's finally done."
Harlette, who had been hiding in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the demon lord has come, he and his clan will naturally retreat. No, it should be said that if he doesn't leave quickly, he and his clan are likely to become the little ones of the demon lord in front of him. dessert.
contract? plan? ally? High-level demons don’t think so much. In their brains full of muscle instincts and reflex nerves, satisfying their own desires is the first priority. Plans, etc., just follow them when you remember them, and forget them.
Losses and punishment from superiors for not implementing the plan? First of all, the demons rarely think about any battle situation and strategy, and secondly, the demon lords who can occupy a plane of the abyss alone are second to me. The so-called superiors did not exist from the beginning. They were not so much a companion who came together for a common goal, but rather bastards who hurried to dinner when someone called to enjoy killing and flesh and blood on the main plane.
But this extremely simple way of thinking gave them the most suitable evolutionary route. Demons will always grow in killing, but in terms of the overall combat power of the ethnic group, the demons with endless stamina in the Styx are definitely in the multidimensional world. the strongest being.
As for whether eating allies will cause losses to the plan? Hungry demon lords tend to think about it after eating, but for trolls, it's too late.
"Damn, I clearly support the original plan, why did you assign me..."
Yes, the trolls who lost everything in the holy war have long chosen Chaos Heretic God and Chaos Abyss as their new masters, and even many purgatory trolls have lived in the lower planes for a long time, and have been unable to return to the Lord by normal means. plane.
The original plan of the trolls was not like this at all. They should spare no effort to gain the recognition of the human world, at least not be regarded as the main threat, and then gradually encroach on the surrounding city-states and lands, and secretly become the outpost of the demon army. It is not so simple and rude to come up and kill.
But sometimes the plan is not as fast as the change. In the final analysis, the sudden change in the strategies of the trolls actually has a lot to do with Roland.
Although there is no timetable for jihad, there are still some unspoken rules. The mortal race has opponents who are also mortals. The god of order has the mortal enemy of the evil god of chaos. .
There is this unspoken rule, and it also depends on the actual situation and the capabilities of both parties. Today's elemental tide is still far from its peak. Sending powerful combat power to the world is expensive and not cost-effective, especially the demons will suffer. Therefore, now should be the time for outposts dominated by agents.
But now, this unspoken rule and tacit understanding has been broken by the Lord God of Light on the order side. Not only has he become the Lord God, but a large number of low- and middle-level angels who are used for fighting and descending from gods have undoubtedly broken the balance of power. , speeding up the progress of the jihad, so as a reciprocal response, Chaos Abyss also sent its own beasts and demon legions, the result is that under the influence of the butterfly reaction, the high-level combat power of demons and angels is compared. Much earlier than expected.
Fortunately, the lower-level elemental tides still limit the demons, and the sacrifice of a city-state only comes with half a demon earl and half a legion. Even if the demons come to the main plane, if you want to expand your combat power and get more The results of the battle are not too difficult. After all, there is definitely a problem with their troops supply.
If the Church of the Holy Church organizes an expedition at this time, it may be possible to quickly get rid of this trouble, but considering the situation they are currently struggling with, it is best not to think too much.
And when the butterfly effect made the trouble bigger and bigger, the disaster of the main plane was getting closer and closer, but at this time Roland was doing the same evil act as summoning the devil, he was calling the devil!
