Gregory returned to the table and continued to study the dark red crystal. It seemed that the noise outside was not worth mentioning to him. In fact, the noise was indeed not worth mentioning: lava demons are not uncommon in this dimension. Things, as long as you pass by the place where the magma flows, you may suddenly encounter this kind of low-intelligence elemental creature at any time, and the bottom of the magic mark canyon is the intersection of exposed underground lava, of course, there will be lava monsters popping up at any time. However, that kind of creature has no ability to climb the steep outer wall of the Magic Scar Canyon. The only threat they pose to the soldiers is the violent activity and the rock vapor released when the rock wall is melted. These poisonous gases will gushes out of the Magic Scar Canyon , even soldiers who have been trained and mastered various magics will be harmed by it if they are a little careless.
But it is enough that the mages are responsible for suppressing this poisonous gas.
The door of the room was pushed open, and an old man wearing a purple silk robe and holding a staff walked in. He was one of the high-ranking commanders of the human mage army.
"Master Lufane," Gregory stood up to greet him, "There are a lot of lava demon activities under the Magic Scar Canyon, and the highly toxic steam may rush out of the blocking barrier set up by the mages. I hope you can go there to suppress it in person later. .”
"It's a trivial matter," the old man known as Master Lu Faen nodded. He is also one of the veterans of the coalition army, and he and Gregory belong to the old friend, so there is no formality at this time. He saw Gregory The dark red crystal on Gaoli's table couldn't help asking, "Still researching this? Is there any progress?"
"There is no progress, there is nothing except a video," Gregory shook his head, "I almost doubt that this is just a joke."
"This is a part of the magic sword of the Mad Demon King. It's genuine." Lufine stared at the dark red crystal on the table, with a glimmer of light in his eyes. False. This must be the personal belongings of the Mad Demon King before his fall. It’s just that I don’t know the purpose of that crazy demon leaving these messages... His train of thought is really elusive.”
"Hmph, intention? It's just a simple conspiracy." Gregory sneered, "It's nothing more than wanting the coalition forces to fall into long-term internal strife and chaos. He knows how attractive a secret that can rule the world is so attractive, so Before he died, he simply threw this secret to us, and we are destined to ignore this thing. And as long as the human heart is at work, we cannot destroy or seal this crystal—this is a conspiracy.”
Lu Faen looked at the crystal quietly, and closed his eyes slightly: "Yes. Yangmou, everyone in the other six heroes knows that this is a conspiracy, but everyone can't help themselves, tsk tsk, people's hearts... you are also deeply involved But then again, do you really believe in the existence of such an artifact? If it turns out that everything is just a lie fabricated by the mad king, the joke will be big—this crystal is real, and the crystal image mentioned The divine artifact is not necessarily."
"I believe," Gregory smiled. "Otherwise, no one will be able to explain where the power of the Mad Demon King comes from..."
Before he finished speaking, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from outside, interrupting the second half of his sentence.
"What's going on?" Gregory and Lufine were surprised at the same time. He quickly ran to the window, only to find that the flames were burning in the distance outside. The soldiers in the camp are preparing for battle in a panic, while in the flames in the distance, countless huge demons are appearing out of thin air!
In the center of the demon army was surrounded by a primitive hellhound that was more than five meters high. The hellhound was covered with thick rock armor, its eyes were blood red, and boiling blood dripped from its fangs. "It" looked up at the red The planet let out a long howl, and the sound shook the heart: "Aww—w..."
The next half syllable seemed to be swallowed abruptly.
But Gregory couldn't care less about what was going on with that half syllable. The bloody smell in the air made him instantly judge that it was a group of elite demons whose hands were stained with countless blood. And the armor decoration on those demons is the symbol of the Selaton Legion!
"The devil has rushed into the base camp?!" Lufine was shocked, "Could it be that a high-ranking warlock controlled by the devil has sneaked in. Someone opened the portal in the barracks!?"
At this moment, the door of the room was also pushed open, and a panic-stricken guard rushed into the room: "General! The Selaton demon army appears in the east!"
"Fight quickly! Protect the Eastern Mage Tower!" Gregory ordered loudly, "Sound the alarm for the entire camp, and notify the nearby elves and orcs to come to help!"
At this moment, the soaring flames in the east of the barracks have not subsided, and more demons continue to appear out of thin air in the flames. These are obviously elite soldiers who have been teleported, but this kind of flame portal is unheard of by the coalition soldiers: the way demons appear and the routine Warlock summons are very different.
But now is no longer the time to pursue such details—the demons that appeared out of nowhere are forming a square formation and striding towards the camp, the demons are attacking the city!
The ear-piercing sirens immediately resounded through the camp, and more than a dozen regiments of bright flares were fired into the sky. The coalition soldiers who had experienced ten years of war were all elite troops, and they would not panic even in the face of this demonic army falling from the sky. Countless soldiers gathered from the camp to face the enemy, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly shortening. A fierce battle was about to erupt in the base camp of the coalition forces!
The old mage Lufine had already run to support the mage troops, while Gregory was watching the flames and explosions in the distance with his fists clenched. He always felt that the appearance and speed of those demons were a bit strange, but the bloody smell that rushed to his face made him Realize the seriousness of the situation.
The lava demon riot in the magic scar canyon... The demon siege...
The two events were instantly connected, and Gregory suddenly realized that this was a premeditated raid! It was the cunning abyssal demons of Selaton who had brewed an attack for an unknown period of time, so what was the goal of these demons
Gregory thought of the dark red crystal for a moment, but he soon realized that Selaton probably didn't know that the crystal was in this area. He looked at the direction in which those demons were heading, and suddenly found that in front of them was nothing but the platinum obelisk where the Pope was!
The paladin blood factor in Gregory's bones finally gained the upper hand. He suddenly grabbed the weapon beside him and was about to rush out to guard the platinum obelisk, but before leaving the room, he saw the dark red crystal on the table.
Although there seems to be no other secrets in the crystal, one should be on guard against someone who fishes in troubled waters to try to get its idea. Gregory turned back, put the crystal into a large metal box by the wall, and activated the magic lock that even Rufine could not break. The metal box made a series of weird noises, and finally a bunch of weird iron-gray arms grew out from all sides, merging with the walls and ground of the room.
After doing this, Gregory rushed out the door in a hurry, and called his guards to rush to the front line together.
After Gregory left, the window of the room suddenly opened without any wind, and Hao Ren and La Nina slipped in like ghosts.
"It's thanks to your charm technique that you can deceive all the soldiers along the way." Hao Ren first praised the succubus beside him, "Didn't you say that you haven't practiced charm much?"
"I haven't practiced it, but I should have the level of instinct, and it's just ordinary soldiers, so it's not difficult to deal with," La Nina looked a little weird, "Don't talk about this, I'm going to get goosebumps..."
Hao Ren hilariously sneaked to the metal box in the corner: "I saw him put the crystal in here just now—are you sure that the crystal is from the Yzaks magic sword?"
"It's true, I inlaid it with my own hands back then, but it's a pity that the magic sword was lost in the final battle," La Nina squatted in front of the metal box as she spoke, frowning at the magic runes floating on the surface of the box , "Damn... It's a secret lock made by elves and dwarves."
"Can't open it?" Hao Ren was suddenly surprised.
La Nina shook her head: "If it's an ordinary lock, it's okay, but a secret lock can only be opened with a specific rune formula, and you can never see the information related to those runes before opening it."
Hao Ren frowned when he heard this. He shook the box and found that it had "grown" together with the whole room, so he took out his silver alloy spear from the portable space: "You Back off, I remember that this gun head has ion welding function... It doesn’t matter if you can’t open the lock, we can move the box away.”
La Nina: "?" (to be continued~^~)
