Because it is located in the hinterland of the Ardennes region, far away from the plains with flat terrain and convenient transportation, the all-out war between demons and demons has not yet spread here. And the plane war waged by the outside world has in turn driven some demons who are unwilling to take risks to enter the dark sun.
Taking refuge in Ptolemy made this demonic city more prosperous and restless than usual.
However, demonic prosperity is also synonymous with chaos and disorder.
When Moriarty crossed the outer stone barrier and entered the Dark Sun Ptolemy, he encountered three fights and fights between demons, all of which ended in brutal killings.
Especially for the third time, a group of demons who were fighting fiercely for some unknown reason also "coincidentally" involved passers-by. Naturally, the result was that all the fighting little demons were instantly killed on the spot.
Looking at Moriarty, who was standing alone among a pile of headless corpses with a man and a sword, the other demons in the distance who were watching the fun or fighting instantly cooled down, and then all turned around and left, no longer daring to stand in the terrifying scene.
The "Intermediate Horned Demon" stayed in his sight for a moment.
Of course, moving forward from now on, no demon will dare to jump out and seek death. It seems that the threat of death is the most common and practical language, which can make the most chaotic race become orderly.
"It's a pity that if the population base of demons is not really huge and their reproductive capacity is not bad, otherwise there would be no need for a plane war. The demons only need to stand aside and watch. In a few years, the demons will end up with chaotic internal fighting.
And the self is digested cleanly.”
Walking on the narrow, rugged and uneven streets of Dark Sun Ptolemy, Moriarty thought silently.
In fact, from a strategic point of view, it is too early and hasty for the devil to show his sword to the devil this time. If it can be delayed for a few hundred years and the number of devil groups can be increased by one level, then the certainty of winning the war will be higher.
Many, instead of almost nothing like now.
But no matter how you put it, now that the war has started, the devil has no way out. And after a plane war, even if the devil can win in the end, his vitality will definitely be severely damaged, and he will have no more energy to launch attacks on the continental plane.
invasion war.
While walking and thinking, Moriarty gradually entered the center of Dark Sun Ptolemaic City.
But then he suddenly discovered that the demon fights that originally filled the streets began to disappear quickly. It was as if there was an invisible line that separated the inside and the outside. Outside the line, groups of little demons were still quarreling and fighting with each other;
But inside the line, no one dared to act casually, showing an orderliness that was completely inconsistent with the characteristics of a demon.
"This is…"
Just when Moriarty was still wondering about this strange change, suddenly, a group of humanoid scarab warriors walked out from the front. They lined up and walked straight towards him.
These humanoid beetles are all over three meters tall, walk upright on two legs, are born with hard armor on their backs, and have one to three pairs of sharp blade limbs.
"Beetle Samurai!?"
Looking at these other-looking creatures, Moriarty was immediately heartbroken.
According to the information provided by the Queen of Lies, these humanoid beetles that move upright are actually some kind of mutant descendants of the demon Sandos, responsible for guarding the Dark Sun Ptolemy and communicating with other alien demons.
Generally speaking, the combat power of a humanoid beetle with a pair of blade limbs is equivalent to that of a fourth-level combat class, with two pairs of blades rising to around level six, and those with three pairs of blades falling between mid-level vanguard and high-level ones.
So the patrol team in front of us consists of five "double pairs", two "double pairs" and one "triple double". It is already a very powerful team. It is no wonder that no little devil dares to approach the city anymore.
There is trouble in the central area. After all, judging from the appearance of these humanoid beetles, it is clear that they are ruthless and ruthless people.
Moreover, Moriarty also heard that in addition to ordinary beetle warriors, there is a rarer and more powerful "beetle warlock" in Dark Sun Ptolemy. It is enough to rival high-level demons. So any outsider who wants to fight here
If you cause trouble in the central area of a city, you will probably be suppressed on the spot.
Seeing this group of beetle warriors walking toward him, Moriarty paused and remained calm. Fortunately, the leader of the "Three pairs" just stared at it with his huge compound eyes, and then continued to lead the patrol forward.
Okay, just pass him by.
"strangeness…"
However, Moriarty frowned as he looked at the humanoid scarab speeding past him.
Because he found that although these beetles were also full of the unique smell from the chaotic force, observing their behavior and accident patterns, they appeared to be quite orderly. At least since "dealing" with demons, Moriarty had never seen it before
There are no demons who can march in a neat line.
And even though it was just a quick glance, Moriarty could already see that the body composition of the humanoid scarab was completely different from that of the usual little devil or horned devil.
An exoskeleton composed entirely of methyl substances, the body is not flesh and blood but a semi-solid, semi-liquid condensate, and a tentacle-type exploration system that replaces the mouth and nose... all of this shows that these beetles are so different that they are almost difficult to identify.
Called the real devil.
"What is the origin of this Sandos? He is obviously not a demon, but he just wears a layer of skin and can blatantly build a 'kingdom' here. How can other demons tolerate such a thing?"
From the perspective of a demigod, Moriarty can already determine that the essential genes of these beetles have nothing to do with demons. But such an outsider can take over the territory of Dark Sun Ptolemy and establish de facto "self-government"
, this is almost no different from the current devil's "carrying the flag to rebel".
Unfortunately, there was no one in front of him who could answer the mystery for him, so Moriarty could only press down the questions in his heart and continue walking towards the city.
After advancing for a while, the narrow and winding streets finally disappeared, and the crowded stone houses on both sides also disappeared.
In front of it, there is a flat place similar to a square, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, giving people an unbelievably wide view.
In the center of the square, there is a strange building about ten meters high, which looks like an upright oval cocoon. The whole body is made of some dark brown unknown material.
They are all unique and can be called landmarks.
Under the "cocoon" is a huge hole. Looking from a distance, the dark hole is completely unfathomable, like a big mouth that can swallow everything.
That is the only entrance to Sandos' underground kingdom, the "Wormhole Door".
However, the square at this time was full of busy scenes.
Uninterrupted, one demon caravan after another was seen passing through the winding streets that connected the square from all directions, bringing full loads of various supplies to the square.
Because the roads are narrow, all items are carried on the backs and shoulders of little slave-like devils. Whether they are heavy ores or compressed chunks of flesh and blood, they are all transported with bare hands, which is extremely laborious.
And it seemed that there was a tacit understanding. When groups of little devils came to the square carrying goods on their backs, they did not stop, but continued directly to the wormhole under the strict supervision of the humanoid scarab. The whole scene seemed extremely busy and orderly.
When these little devils come out of the hole again, they will each hold a small white round egg in their hands.
The devil's caravan steward, who has been waiting anxiously at the entrance of the cave, will immediately step forward to carefully collect each round egg and store it in a bag with a freezing and thermal insulation function. When all are collected, the devil's steward will
The little devil quickly left the square with his slave, but he was already smiling.
"Is that the 'Egg of Sandos'?"
Looking at the white round eggs that were carefully gathered one by one from a distance, Moriarty's eyes were dark.
It is said that it is a special kind of insect egg, which is produced by the demon Sandos through an unknown method. Each insect egg weighs about two ounces, is soft in body, has a milky slurry in the center of the egg, and has a taste that is very popular with demons.
What’s even more “deadly” is that the “Eggs of Sandos” also have the property of weakly promoting the evolution of ordinary demons. In other words, just by eating them, demons below the extreme level can obtain a small proportion of these white eggs.
But there is no precious evolutionary power. And this is an irresistible attraction for demons of low, medium or high levels. Even if the promoting effect of "Santos Egg" is minimal for high-level demons, as long as there is
A little growth and no one can have too much.
It is precisely because of the continuous production of this kind of insect eggs that the fallen Dark Sun Ptolemy will prosper again, turning from a marginal mountain town into an important trade center.
In exchange for the "Egg of Sandos", those foreign demon caravans would transport various ores, minerals and pressed and processed concentrated flesh and blood from various places to Dark Sun Ptolemy as payment.
It is said that the concentrated flesh and blood is used to feed the many beetle descendants of the demon Sandos. After all, the beetle warriors alone consume a huge amount every day, not to mention how many other bugs are hidden in the wormhole. As for
The mineral ore is used by Sandos himself. There are even rumors that the demon makes a living by eating the ore, which is simply sensational.
"It is possible to allow an outside little devil to enter the wormhole directly. I wonder if the devil Sandos is careless or confident? But in this way, it is a good way to sneak into the wormhole in advance."
After observing at the edge of the square for a long time, Moriarty slowly turned around and retreated.
About half an hour later, another team of nearly a hundred little demon slaves walked out of a street carrying heavy supplies, and then headed directly towards the wormhole under the supervision of several beetle warriors.
In the team, Moriarty's little devil also followed suit with his head lowered. Although several beetle warriors scanned his sights and even their tentacles several times, they all returned without success.
A moment later, Moriarty arrived in front of the wormhole. (To be continued)
