In the dark cave, the airflow from nowhere was blowing with a biting coolness. The cold and smooth stone walls were extremely wet, and the water vapor condensed into water droplets on the moss on the top of the cave and dripped downwards.

A woman was upside down on the ground of the cave, and she closed her eyes as if she was asleep.

The moment the water drops dripped on her face, she suddenly opened her eyes as if she was frightened. Then she quickly got up from the ground and took a warning posture.

She wanted to pull the sword around her waist, but found that the sword was not on her body. She wanted to release magic, but found that she had mobilized any magic elements around her.

What happened?

The woman looked at the extra pair of bracelets that did not belong to her on her wrist, and knew that her power was imprisoned by this magic prop.

So how did I come here?

Memories poured into the woman's mind at this time. She remembered that before she came here... she should have met an important nobleman, Earl Faulkner, at the Shangjiang Palace.

The woman who woke up in this strange cave was Joyce. She woke up from a coma, and after a brief trance, she began to recall what happened before her coma.

Earl Faulkner is an important figure in the Shangjiang army and the commander of the Shangjiang City garrison army. In addition to being responsible for defending Shangjiang City, Earl Faulkner is also good at discovering and cultivating war-type heroes. Shangjiang's rapid military expansion made the recruited basic army expand continuously. To command this army, heroes at all levels need to form a command system to allow the army to exert their combat effectiveness.

In the formation of Shangjiang's army, Earl Faulkner played an important role in it.

Moreover, Earl Faulkner is also very prestigious among the senior nobles of the Shangjiang human race. He is Joyce's elder and the cornerstone of Joyce's rule over the Shangjiang human race.

Therefore, when Earl Faulkner wanted to introduce a very potential Crusader hero to Joyce, he was immediately summoned by Joyce.

At that time, Daliang had just left here. In order to be alone with Daliang, Joyce transferred his close guards to create a space for the two of them.

After Earl Faulkner came in, the close guards were not all in place, and Joyce was still looking forward to tomorrow.

Joyce lost the alertness he should have at this moment, and there were major loopholes in her protection.

But the assassination began at this time.

The Crusader hero brought by Count Faulkner suddenly launched an attack without waiting for the Count to introduce him. The holy flame energy accumulated from entering the door suddenly burst out. The moment he drew his sword, his body turned into a afterimage, and he cut off Count Faulkner's head with one sword, and then arrived in front of Joyce.

In Joyce's surprised expression, the holy flame swept through the table in front of her, wrapped her all in, and stabbed her in the long sword into her heart.

Joyce's last memory is that Count Faulkner's body was destroyed in the Holy Flame.

The pain in the heart ended Joyce's memory, and there was a sword wound on her chest. The long sword used by the assassin was definitely a weapon with very powerful attack power. It easily pierced the royal dress Joyce had been wearing with a master alchemist. The dress's own defense ability and defensive magic circle did not play any role.

But Joyce knew that although the assassin's long sword pierced into his body, it did not pierce the heart. Otherwise, under such a deadly attack, he would never have the possibility of survival.

Just…what is this place?

Who saved me?

Who imprisoned me again?

Faced with many strange things, Joyce, who was calm and composed, did not show any panic. Even though she could not use her power now, she still stood like a king, not a prisoner.

Joyce lifted his proud chin and said to the darkness: "I am King Joyce of Shangjiang City... No matter who you are, I would like to express my gratitude for saving my life in my danger.

If you want to get a reward, as long as I can give, I will not be stingy with anything I control.

Now...my city and my people need me, please let me leave."

Joyce's voice echoed in the empty cave, but there was no response for a long time, as if she was the only one here.

But Joyce knew that the people who saved herself and imprisoned her were here... At this time, the ceremony for the establishment of the empire of Shangjiang was about to begin, and the entire main world was waiting for the moment when she announced the establishment of the first empire in the main world.

And Daliang...

How anxious will he be when he was assassinated or missing?

"Hey! The guy who hides his head and tail..." Joyce shouted, "Why save me, and why do you imprison me? No matter if you want to get it from me, you can't get anything if you can't hide it."

"I didn't hide it, but you just can't see me as small."

A loud voice rang beside Joyce, and then a hideous scarlet eye with vertical pupils suddenly opened on the wall behind her.

This eye is bigger than Joyce's entire person.

Then the "wall" squirmed and the entire cave was shaking. A red light lit up in the "stone cracks" on the "wall", and the stones that made up the "wall" gradually turned into red scales. Joyce's eyes, which had just scared him, rose rapidly. When "it" turned his head, a giant appeared in front of her.

The red light seemed to come from hell illuminated the entire cave. In front of Joyce, an extremely huge python was looking down at the human in front of him with its mountain-like head. Its body was coiled into a circle, surrounding Joyce in the middle, like a stone wall when it was still.

Joyce had never seen such a creature. But she could feel that even if her power was not imprisoned, her strength was far inferior to that of this terrifying giant python.

The giant python and the fear from the bottom of their hearts made Joyce suddenly guess the identity of the giant python.

Recalling the big hole that appeared in the palace hall to rescue Angela when William died, Joyce said to the giant python: "Are you the terrifying demon king Eggs?"

The name of Eggs made him very proud. He spitted out the snake's letter and said to Joyce in a contemptuous tone: "You have a good vision... Yes, I am the devil who spreads fear, the third hell lord, King Eggs..."

Who would have thought that before Ergos finished speaking, Joyce said again: "Didn't you abandon Satan and run away during the Hell War? How could it appear here?"

Run away! Abandon Satan!

This is probably the biggest stain on Erges's devil since he became the devil, and it is simply a past that cannot be looked back on.

Now, the scars have been exposed by such a small human being.
