Due to its special geographical location, it connects towns and even different kingdoms in all directions.
After years of development, there is a huge main road here.
It’s called [Trader’s Avenue].
Just hearing the name is relatively easy to understand.
Normally.
There are multiple forces here to control it.
Every once in a while, there will be a big fight because of the uneven distribution of benefits.
And the area a little further ahead of the [Sunset Mountains] is a place called the [Troll Mountains].
The name is also very easy to understand.
It’s hard to say much about other specialties here.
But there are indeed a lot of ugly-looking [Trolls] who like to rob homes and kill creatures, and occasionally rob passing caravans and passers-by.
Said without politeness.
As a thorn in the side of the surrounding forces.
If it wasn't for its weak strength, the [Troll] also had the protection of the [God].
They had long been beaten to death.
Marquis Kant, the guy who summoned the clone of [Demogorgon] from the [Abyss (dnd plane)] not long ago, manages the territory located between [Troll Mountain] and [Trade]
The position in the middle of "Zhe Avenue".
Because this place is often troubled by [Trolls].
Therefore, the local residents are relatively rich in martial arts.
And because of his protection and control.
Compared to other areas with greater risks.
The surrounding traders also often pass by here.
Therefore, just from the toll fees and the various trades brought by traders, he made a lot of wealth.
It's okay to say it's the richest party.
This allowed his troops to directly receive better weapons and training.
The power of power.
Even if he is a king who has higher authority in name, he must be given some face.
In a sense.
He can be said to be a warlord-level being.
As an ordinary person, he is basically a winner among winners in life!
At least.
Not many people in the surrounding area dare to mess with him.
Power, power, and troops.
There are also various adventurers working for him!!
In fact.
It is precisely because of this.
Only then could he get the fresh corpses of five whole [Baby Dragons].
However, right now, in the city ruled by Marquis Kant, the area tightly surrounded by towering city walls more than 20 meters high is filled with all kinds of shouts and cries, and there is no trace of the past.
Sense of order.
What's even more surprising is that those guys who wantonly slaughtered civilians and adventurers were none other than others.
It was the garrison troops who maintained law and order here in the past.
The faces of those soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles could no longer see the solemnity and rigor of the past, but only madness and bloodthirsty.
No matter how the civilians begged for mercy, the sharp blades in their hands showed no mercy at all.
even.
There were even some particularly crazy guys who simply dropped their weapons and used their teeth to bite their prey crazily.
Faced with this situation.
Many scholars who were hiding in the crowd and desperately resisting the opponent were also shocked when they judged the facts.
"[Demon Reaction]..."
"This place has been infiltrated by [Devils]!!"
"Run away, this is a trap!!"
"They're all crazy..."
But it's a pity that even though I recognized the situation.
They are now.
In the face of a crisis, we are still more prepared than capable.
Long after the city's barrier was raised, blocking everyone's entry and exit.
It was already doomed, the sad fact that they were unable to resist or escape.
Therefore, the massacre continues...
——
Inside the [City Lord’s Mansion] full of corpses.
Marquis Kant, wearing his ancestral enchanted armor, stood at the highest point of the city, witnessing everything that happened in the city.
Even if the mind has long been polluted by the blood of [Devil], it has become crazy and cruel.
But at this moment, after personally destroying his own ancestral property and personally ordering the massacre of the people he protected in the past.
His mentality is inevitably a bit complicated after all...
Not to mention regret, more of a confusion...
All the persistence in the past was completely destroyed, and I felt a little confused for a while...
final.
After a lot of changes in mood.
All thoughts turned into a sigh.
"well……"
It was also at this time.
A voice came from behind him:
"Father, the battle is almost over."
"Next, will the ceremony be held immediately?"
He was a middle-aged man with a strong build and a height of nearly 1.9 meters.
The other party was none other than the son of Marquis Kande and the original heir of this city.
Ever since Marquis Kant was transformed into a [Devil].
With the means provided by Demogorgon, he directly gave priority to transforming his descendants, relatives, and confidants into [demon creatures] that retained their original minds.
Then, secretly feed [Abyss Potion] to all the soldiers.
While making them stronger.
It also corroded most of their sanity, thereby preventing the other party from discovering that their superiors had betrayed humanity and mutinying on the spot.
"Hold the ceremony as soon as possible. Although the barriers and blockades have blocked the communication between various [churches] and local branches, they will still notice something is wrong before long. We must summon His Majesty's demon army before those forces come to investigate.
Come here, and only then can we rest easy for the time being."
As early as when he took refuge in [Demogorgon].
He knew it very well.
There is no way out for him.
Therefore, things must be done absolutely.
Therefore, even massacring his own territory, using more than 100,000 local residents as sacrifices, and summoning the opponent's troops was a plan proactively proposed by Marquis Kant.
In order to make [Demogorgon] value himself more.
Incidentally, I also seek some benefits for myself and my relatives and friends.
At the cost of innocent lives and souls…
"I see."
After receiving the answer, his son turned and left without hesitation.
Be prepared to go to the scene in person to conduct command.
For now.
Many soldiers have no sense at all.
As long as you are a little far away, you can't even understand the orders.
They can only rely on special means to command reluctantly.
And looking at his son's leaving figure.
Marquis Kant, who had originally decided not to be confused anymore, suddenly felt some inexplicable emotions in his heart.
"...Are you blaming me for destroying the family's glory with my own hands..."
Upon hearing these words, his son slowed down his steps slightly.
He replied without looking back: "...a little bit, but it's still understandable."
"After all, everyone wants to live a healthy life, right..."
"I once thought about whether I would be like you if I grew old."
"And the result is uncertain..."
"So, I don't really want to complain about anything."
