And when the coalition forces began to flee, on the Death Continent thousands of miles away from them, roars were coming from a dark palace filled with death.
This palace stands on a cliff thousands of meters high.
If you stand on the cliff and look down around, you will see that the surrounding world seems to have lost its color, and as far as you can see is a land of ashes.
In the land of ashes, there are densely packed dark creatures of various sizes wandering around.
What's even more chilling is that right below the cliff, there is a red river of lava with a scorching breath.
At this moment, the dark lord is sitting on the throne on the cliff.
This throne is hundreds of meters high and is made of the corpses and bones of various creatures.
If you look carefully, you can even see the withered bones of the dragon among the corpses.
The image of the dark lord is somewhat unexpected.
The body shape of the Dark Lord is the same as that of a normal human race, with its whole body covered under a wide black cloak.
The facial features are also unable to be seen clearly, only a pair of scarlet eyes are revealed.
Overall, the image of the dark creature is not as scary as its reputation.
"You actually let these ants escape and destroyed my statue! How did you do it? What's the use of me raising you?"
The dark lord looked at the dozens of dark generals kneeling under the bone pile, and low roars continued to be heard.
The darkness coming below not only contains humanoid dark knights, but also various types of high-level dark creatures such as bone dragons.
"My Lord atones for our sins. Please forgive our incompetence and give us a chance to make amends again!"
Several dark generals were all lying on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Facing the dark lord's scolding, he only dared to keep begging for mercy.
"Hmph, if I hadn't felt that another powerful continent was approaching, I would have definitely sent you into the Abyss of Faces to give you a taste of the abyss."
The dark lord was obviously upset when he heard his subordinates begging for mercy.
"Thank you Lord for your mercy!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when darkness fell.
"Where have those creatures fled to? Another powerful continent is already very close. I'm afraid it will arrive soon!"
"We must kill these creatures before that continent approaches, and then invade their territory to harvest the lives of the creatures." The dark lord continued to speak in a low voice.
"My lord, according to reports from the front, the group of creatures seems to have received supplies and continues to move towards their collapsed fortress."
"But don't worry, my lord, that fortress has been completely occupied by our dark army. There are more than half a million people in the dark army. They will not be allowed to escape this time!"
The dark general kneeling below cautiously made assurances upwards.
"Hmph, I will give you three days in the end. If I haven't received the blood sacrifice from that army of creatures after three days, then I will choose one of you to throw into the lava abyss!"
The dark lord snorted coldly.
The dark generals below were obviously very afraid of such punishment, and their bodies immediately trembled after hearing this.
"Yes, my Lord, we will definitely fulfill your will!"
"Very good. To ensure nothing goes wrong, I will send you support again!"
As he spoke, the Dark Lord tapped the armrest of the throne with his palm.
Kaka!
After the Dark Lord knocked on the armrest, the throne under him began to slowly rotate.
After finally rotating 180 degrees, we were facing the terrifying lava abyss behind the cliff.
"Lava Servant!"
However, facing this lava abyss, the dark lord showed no fear.
He just heard him calling faintly downwards. His voice was low and soft. If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to hear it standing at the bottom of the skull throne.
But after the dark lord called out, he waited silently, as if he was sure that the slave he was calling could hear him.
Boom boom boom!
And just after four or five seconds of silence at the top of the cliff, several roars came from below the cliff.
When Xun Sheng looked around, he saw that the hot red lava abyss had become extremely violent and began to churn continuously.
Suddenly, a huge arm stretched out from the lava and firmly grasped the rock walls on both sides of the abyss.
boom!
There was another sound, and the second arm also appeared.
Then comes the head and body!
The huge figure quickly climbed out of the abyss hundreds of meters high and reached the flat ground below.
"My Lord, your most loyal servant is at your call!"
When they came to the flat ground, this huge figure knelt down directly towards the dark lord, with his left hand on the ground and his right hand on his chest.
This is similar to the etiquette of human nobles.
However, it is not a human race that uses such monarch-minister etiquette at this moment, and I don’t even know if living creatures can be counted as such.
Because the whole body of this creature is composed of boulders, and the scorching face is constantly flowing between the boulders.
The heat radiated from these faces even distorted the surrounding air.
If the vegetation on this Death Continent hadn't been basically extinct, I'm afraid that wherever this lava warrior went, there would be wildfires.
"Lava War Servant, we have arrived at a new living continent, but this living continent is heading towards a continent with strong men."
"I need to get enough victory sacrifices before then, so this time it's up to you to fight and cooperate with the dark army to launch an attack!"
The dark lord immediately gave instructions to the lava giant below.
"Yes, my lord, my war servant is willing to fight for you!"
The lava servants below immediately took orders.
"very good!"
As he spoke, the dark lord directly raised his hands, and then a dark death energy spread directly from his hands and swept away towards the handsome servant below.
The lava warrior was obviously used to all this, and he remained motionless and allowed the black mist to wrap around him.
"Go and let my darkness swallow up all victory!"
Whoosh!
The next moment, the face-faced warrior wrapped in black death energy disappeared on the spot, turning into a black light that shot straight into the sky.
…
Nalant and others did not know that they were going to be in great trouble. After evacuating from the thorn fortress, they marched unhurriedly in the wilderness.
Although the dark creatures are not comparable to them in terms of endurance, they still cannot match the coalition team in terms of speed.
After all, they are all dead things. Except for high-level dark creatures or dark creatures that can fly, they cannot move that quickly.
The coalition forces that have sufficient supplies, in order to prevent the team from being exhausted because they do not get enough rest, will organize some teams to resist in the rear every half a day to buy rest time for other teams.
In this way, the coalition team can not only ensure that they are not overtaken, but also ensure that the team always has enough strength.
At the same time, Nalant's magic cannon also played a very important role in this process.
When Nalant did not save mana crystals, the mana cannon would fire several rounds of volleys at regular intervals, which also caused considerable losses to the dark creatures behind.
Of course, Nalant must have selfish motives for doing this.
Now that he has broken through and become a Sky Knight, he doesn't need too many energy points in a short period of time.
But his subordinates still need energy points to increase their strength.
Therefore, with each round of bombardment, Nalant can harvest thousands of energy points.
All these energy points Narant were exchanged for weakened versions of kiwi fruits, and these kiwi fruits were distributed to all of his subordinates.
"Baron Nalant, your magic energy cannon is really useful!"
In the coalition team, all the coalition kings looked at the magic cannon that had just been bombarded in amazement, with envy in their eyes.
Especially this magic cannon is placed on a magic carriage.
In this way, combined with the lethality of the magic cannon, it is definitely a weapon in war.
Although everyone present is a Sky Knight, their individual strength cannot truly defeat a million people, so it is very important to have a strong army at your disposal.
As a result, there is no king who does not covet this army of magic cannons.
"Haha, kings, don't look at it. My magic cannon seems to be very useful, but it requires a lot of magic crystals."
"Compared to the price of the magic crystal, all the kings also know that it is simply a gold-swallowing beast. Therefore, such a weapon can only be used by me, Nalant, who is weak. If it were replaced by your empire, it would only require a group of extraordinary knights.
If you charge, it will have the same effect."
Nalant immediately waved his hands towards the kings.
This magic energy cannon is the treasure of his Storm Territory, so he is not planning to sell it like the bed crossbow.
"Haha, everyone, don't think about Baron Nalant's magic cannon."
"This mana cannon belongs to the Goblin tribe, and you all know it."
"So, what Baron Nalant said actually makes sense. Even the goblins themselves can't play a big role if they have magic cannons, let alone the empires!"
"I'm afraid, only special cases like Baron Nalant, who don't lack magic crystals, can use the magic cannon without any scruples!"
President Theodore saw what Nalant was thinking and immediately stepped forward to help him smooth things over.
However, President Theodore was telling the truth.
Even if other empires have mana crystal mines, they probably only have one or two.
But Nalant has at least a dozen magic crystal mines.
In this way, Nalant could use the magic energy cannon to such an extent.
As for other empires, if the number of mana cannons fired is reduced by seven or eight levels, there is actually no difference between whether they have them or not.
"Well, don't worry, Baron Nalant, we are just curious!"
All the kings also felt that there was some truth in what Theodore said, and they could only put away their previous unnecessary thoughts angrily.
"By the way, everyone, how long will it take for the continent in the sky to be connected to us?"
The topic of magic cannons was temporarily stopped. At this time, all the kings also became free. They couldn't help but look at the sky not far away and began to discuss.
"I don't think it will take more than five days at most. When the Dark Abyss descended last time, the outline reached this point. We have already arrived at the Duke City, so I think the human continent should arrive around this time!"
"Well, I think it's about the same. Our current food can last for more than ten days, so we can just wait for rescue!"
"I heard that the races on that continent are very powerful, and there are even giant dragons. I don't know what will happen when we get in touch!"
"No matter what the situation is, according to me, as long as they are stronger than the dark creatures, they are the best!"
"After all, according to what the black dragon said, we used to be from the same continent, so there is no way they could be disadvantageous to us!"
"That's right. Even if the human race on that continent is not particularly friendly by then, the worst case scenario is that we will join them. In fact, there is not much difference between us whether we are kings or nobles."
All the kings were immediately interested and began to express their opinions.
Obviously, many kings still have a relatively positive view on the arrival of that continent.
No matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than the creatures of darkness.
But Nalant just listened and did not speak.
He also felt that there was some truth to what the kings said. After all, the two continents were of the same race.
Even the worst is just like when their Glory Continent joined the Holy Continent.
At that time, the worst thing is to accept some exploitation, as long as they are not like dark creatures who want to kill them.
Whoosh!
"Hey, look, what is that!"
However, just when everyone was talking animatedly, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.
Following the sound, everyone saw that it was a mass of black mist wrapped in something that was sliding down from the sky.
"It's death!"
The next moment, everyone's expressions immediately calmed down.
Because as the object in the sky approached, everyone immediately recognized that the object that fell like a meteor was filled with a strong aura of death.
With the lessons learned from the last dark land falling, everyone is very cautious about such things.
However, the only thing that confused everyone was that the object flying in the air was not big.
Compared with the continent last time, this time it was nothing more than a rock.
"Everyone, no matter what it is, we need to be ready to fight!"
The next moment, President Theodore did not hesitate, even if it was just a rock.
But this must be another conspiracy of the dark lord.
Because, it was obvious that the location where the mass of death energy landed was not far in front of them.
"Understood, President Theodore!"
All the kings nodded after hearing this, and then called the heralds around them.
Woohoo!
Soon, the horns of alert sounded in the coalition ranks.
Although the advance of the team did not stop, a group of kings led the remaining cavalry to the front.
"Let's go take a look ahead too!"
Upon seeing this, Nalant also led his Wild Wolf Knights towards the front.
Boom!
When Nalant arrived at the front, the black air finally landed.
It fell two miles ahead of their team.
With a loud explosion, a huge crater suddenly exploded in the wilderness ahead.
Nalant and all the kings stopped one after another, staring closely at the huge pit that was still breathing life.
Roar!
The creatures in the black pit didn't let them wait long. In the next moment, Nalant and others only saw a huge, terrifying stone man with a face flowing all over his body.
"This is... a lava troll?"
Nalant was a little surprised when he saw this scene, because the creature that appeared was quite similar to the monster in an online game in his previous life.
However, compared to the monsters in the game, the troll in front is real, and the pressure exuded by its body of more than thirty meters high is actually more breathtaking than the dark bone dragon.
