In fact, Hao Ren was very curious about whether it was appropriate for the Allied forces of the Holy See to post information about the Demon King's Army so carelessly. According to Yizaks' popularity over the past few hundred years, it would at least be a shame to throw out any news related to the Demon King's Army. Social turmoil, the Holy See coalition forces don't seem to care about it at all.
But after La Nina explained it to Hao Ren, he knew what was going on:
The ten-year war has just ended, and hundreds of years before it belonged to the rule of the Demon King's Empire. The whole world has not yet broken free from a certain "inertia". Can't cause any panic...
Because the generations that panicked about it are dead.
Regardless of whether there is a good or evil in this war, and regardless of who has the nobler ambitions of Yzaks and the Seven Heroes, it is undeniable that, including long-lived races like elves, the four-hundred-year invasion of the demon king plus the ten-year war Let all the races in this world die for one generation or even several generations, and now the survivors are almost numb guys, regardless of demons or mortals.
Three days later, a motley crew of mercenaries and adventurers set off from the Cadsius plane, and went to the second demon plane through a transfer station.
All the portals leading to the demon plane are strictly monitored, and since the demon army retreated from the world, Cadhus, the largest "world transfer station", has blocked all the portals connecting with the demon plane (Of course only the portals known to humans, the back road left by Yizaks hundreds of years ago is obviously not included), so the mercenaries assembled here will travel from other adjacent planes together with the coalition troops. Demon world.
Hao Ren and the others were mixed in this team, and successfully passed the censorship system that was not rigorous at all as a temporarily registered wandering mercenary group. Of course, we can’t blame the Allied Forces of the Holy See for not being strict with the censorship of the mercenaries—they have to go to the demon plane to fight for their lives, and there is nothing to judge. Anyone who dares to follow the call of the Holy See and the Seven Heroes to go to the demons to fight one-on-one is only a saint or a lunatic. Both of these people obviously don't need to be tried.
Normal people would never have guessed that the Demon King himself would take this opportunity to slip in and sneak back to his hometown: This cannot be said to be an unreasonable play of cards.
Hao Ren and the others were sent to a desolate desert by the portal after they left the plane of Cadhus. It means "barren land".
Hao Ren and his party wore low-key coarse cloth cloaks and mixed in the miscellaneous army composed of three religions and nine ranks. They heard a senior mercenary with a scar on his face introduce the desert: "Mendukain was a settlement of orcs four hundred years ago. It is said that there were still many oases here, and the orcs established a city and dozens of towns in the desert. The whole plane relied on the ore trade to make a living, but later the demon king army captured all the orcs in the entire Mendukain, This place is completely deserted, and no one has rebuilt it for hundreds of years. After the end of the ten-year war, the Seven Heroes called on all tribes to block the demon portals on all major planes, and let the warlocks build portals in relatively desolate and remote places. As a substitute, Menducaine is useful again."
"There is a large portal in the middle of the desert leading to the second demon plane. Opposite the portal is the sentry post established by the Holy See coalition forces. After we pass by, we will half-step into hell," said another tall and thin man with a turban wrapped around his head. The man said heartily, "I don't know how many people will stay in that ghostly place this time..."
A mercenary immediately complained: "You can't say something auspicious!"
Hao Ren perfunctorily chatted and laughed with these eccentric mercenaries who were full of heroism and licked blood on their knife-edges, and then retreated to Yizaks: "You were so fierce back then, all the population in the entire plane packed Walk?"
"Mendukain four hundred years ago was actually the place where the orcs exiled their compatriots. The so-called city was a huge slum. Countless orcs were waiting to die in this barren place. I took them away to mine obsidian for me. Although it’s hard work, at least it’s more satisfying than eating in the desert,” Yi’zaks shrugged, “The world is fighting for those orcs. But in fact, the Menducaine orcs are the most loyal group of guys among all the races under my rule.”
Hao Ren looked up into the distance, and saw a huge grayish-yellow column reaching the sky at the end of the desert: "What is that?"
"The Menducaine Pillar. It supports the continent under our feet. According to orc legends, once this pillar breaks, the entire Menducaine Continent will fall into the dark sun—they firmly believe that there is a land on the back of the continent under their feet. It is a dark sun, competing with the never-setting sun in the sky for the dominance of the continent," Yizaks smiled, "There is no night in this space, and the entire continent maintains an endless day. The sky moves along a curve, and it has never set for tens of thousands of years. In fact, the legend of the orcs has some basis. Because there is indeed a brown dwarf star on the back of Menducain continent, due to the reason of gravitational lock. That brown dwarf will never rise The horizon, only those who dare to run to the edge of the continent can see the twilight of the brown dwarf shining a little bit from the endless abyss under coincident circumstances."
Lily let out a long "Oh" to express her surprise. In fact, she was an idiot in science and didn't understand the meaning at all. She knew that the continent under her feet was sandwiched between two stars. She looked at the gray sky at the end of the horizon in amazement. Yellow Tongtianzhu, "That thing really supports the entire continent? Does it extend from the 'sun on the ground'?"
"It's just an unreliable legend," Y'zaks spread his hands. "In fact, it was just a sandstorm, but I don't know what happened... It hasn't stopped for more than 800 years. Menducain Pillar The surrounding area is very dangerous, we should not go there."
What Yizaks said was correct, the man-made portal opened by the great warlocks in the human world was not far ahead, and there was a sufficient safe distance from the Dukain pillar of the gate. It didn't take long for Hao Ren and the others to come to a ruins of a city buried by wind and sand. According to the architectural style of the ruins of the city, this was obviously the home built by the orcs who were exiled here many years ago. Now that the ancient city is gone, there are only ruins left in place, and the latecomers of the Holy See coalition forces have established a small market town near the city ruins as a stronghold to control and maintain the man-made demon portal.
The portal is a dark red vortex with a radius of more than ten meters. It lies on the desert in a strange way, with an angle of about 30 degrees with the ground. It looks like the surface of a sundial. Around the portal is a A restraining device made of dark red rune stones, these rune stones float in the air, and there is a hot and oppressive aura that seems to come from the demon plane.
The coalition soldiers in charge of guarding the portal verified the identities of these mercenaries and the coalition officers in charge of leading the team, and then ordered the gate to be activated.
The dark red vortex lying on the ground suddenly became active, and the whole door stood upright with a clatter. The scene in the vortex was distorted for a while, and then the red sky and barren land of the demon plane appeared.
Hao Ren and his entourage followed the team and stepped into the gate. Yzaks muttered softly as he passed the gate: "I hope it's true news..."
The scene in front of him was changing with light and shadow, and Hao Ren felt the atmosphere of the desert suddenly fade away, and the ubiquitous slight sulfur smell unique to the demon plane wafted from his nostrils.
In front of him is already a dark red sky, and the black and red barren land extending out.
Nangong Wuyue, who was beside him, put his hands on his hips, looked at the unique scenery of the demon plane with high spirits, and said proudly, "It's time to spit out the letter again!"
"Don't be arrogant at this time, okay?" Hao Ren threw a collar over, "I forgot about this before... Actually, you can wear this life support device to adapt to the environment."
Wu Yue looked at the collar in his hand in a daze, and finally couldn't help jumping up: "Why didn't you think of it before?!"
Hao Ren sighed: "Isn't this a limitation of thinking? This thing is designed to perform space missions... and to be honest, you are the only one of us who can't adapt to the environment at all, and we can't use it at all. It was only after seeing Lao Wang giving that little girl named Vanessa an amulet that I remembered that I could give you this thing... "
Holding the collar, Nangong Wuyue had mixed feelings, and made up her mind to take good care of herself in the future: this guy in front of him can't be counted on.
Like the other mercenaries, Lily is looking at the surrounding environment curiously: this is one of the many strongholds established by the Holy See coalition forces in the demon plane, and it is also the largest human base in the second plane. On the high ground, there is a gentle downward slope ahead.
The area of the entire stronghold is not too large, and there are human-style barracks and towers in sight.
Back then, Yzaks ran rampant on all demon planes, suppressing all the other demon monarchs. As a result, after the end of the ten-year war, the Holy See coalition forces took advantage of their own momentum and the lack of strength of other demon monarchs to send out The station has opened up to every demon plane.
Although it took great effort to maintain these strongholds, in any case, after nearly a year, these strongholds stuck under the noses of the demon lords have persisted. Many demon monarchs are not unable to pull out these strongholds, but the efforts of the Holy See coalition forces have created a balance: the battle between the demon monarchs and the growing military strength of the Holy See coalition forces. These two factors have allowed these delicately located strongholds to survive until now.
But just when Hao Ren thought that today would be safe and sound, he suddenly heard a loud noise from afar.
The noise soon spread to this miscellaneous army that had just come to support from the human world, and Hao Ren finally figured out what happened:
A force of the Allied Forces of the Holy See has fought the demons of Barnu Clark in the Broken Plains area! (to be continued~^~)
