On the surface, Baal is very "merciful" and gives his servants a chance to make atonement, but in fact, this new order is almost equivalent to completely nailing the four legendary evil covenanters to the frozen highlands.
.
Baal left the "key" to enter the gate of the Worldstone Fortress somewhere in their territory, but did not tell them the specific location. This obviously showed that the Lord of Destruction no longer trusted them.
Moreover, now that the hell army has been newly defeated, the combined forces of the insect swarm and humans are pursuing the victory and pressing forward step by step. The entire demon army on the frozen highlands is under tremendous pressure.
The four evil covenanters have all seen the fighting power of the insect swarm with their own eyes, and they simply do not think that the hell projections of the fish under their command alone can stop the insect swarm's tide-like open-land attack.
And from the current point of view, even if the Ancestral Icon can no longer be used a second time, due to the arrival of Kasha and others, they have already fallen into a disadvantage in terms of high-end combat power.
Although they have obtained the information, Qiaxi and Kidd are not capable of flying and the other has not yet come into contact with the original prototype, so the threat to them is not too great.
But the two of them are also legendary powerhouses after all. If no one restrains them, the defense line of the Hell Projection Army may be vulnerable to a single blow.
Under such disadvantages, they could previously consider retreating into the glacier to use the terrain to fight guerrilla warfare against the insect swarms, but now, Barr's order has forced them to the point where they have to defend the frozen highlands.
The Demon God explicitly ordered them to immediately begin the Demonic Earth Transformation Ceremony and summon its clone right here.
Previously, because the main force of the hell army was concentrated on the frozen highlands, the sacrifices captured from the barbarian villages along the way were also concentrated and imprisoned here.
So when it comes to the number of sacrifices, it is indeed very sufficient.
But the problem is that they don't have the confidence to guarantee the complete safety of the demon soil summoning ceremony and the hell portal construction ceremony. As for the so-called "key", they don't have the slightest confidence in their hearts.
But there is no way to do it now. If you stretch your head, you can shrink your head with a knife.
You can only risk your life and earn a moment if you can survive for a moment longer. What if you are lucky in the end and you really survive?
Thinking of this, Marvin rubbed his temples that were still aching, endured the numbness and weakness all over his body, and walked toward the location of the demon warlords outside the tent.
...
At the same time, underground in the frozen highlands, in a glacier completely covered by a large amount of blue ice, Nilasek, wearing a blue silk robe, was guiding a team of people carrying double axes. His body was extremely thick and his head was huge.
A skeleton wearing a horn-bone helmet carried a cage made entirely of bones and moved quickly across the frozen underground river.
He looked extremely nervous, and his right hand holding the short dark gold staff kept pointing the weapon at various dark corners in the glacier, as if he was afraid that a monster would suddenly jump out and attack him.
At this moment, the regret in Nilasek's heart almost completely swallowed him up.
Shortly after he subdued Anya and brought her to his temple, he heard the news that the human legions and the Zerg forces had jointly defeated the Hell Vanguard.
At first he didn't believe it at all, thinking that this was Qualcay trying to cover up the scandal of the defeat on the front line.
But when he led Anya through the Bloody Hills through a secret passage in the Arreat Mountains, he discovered that there were no more demons in the entire Bloody Hills - this area had returned to human control.
Down.
Only then did Nilasek know that the good news that he had previously regarded as ridiculous rumors turned out to be true!
But because he mistakenly believed in a terrible demon, he pushed himself into the abyss of eternal destruction!
But regretting it at this moment is useless, the big mistake has been made, he is no longer a member of the profession, but an evil one.
Besides...
Niracek looked back at the bone prison that was carried on the shoulders by the skeletons, with a look of uncontrollable regret in his eyes.
Anya will never forgive him.
He could see this from the hatred and sadness in the girl's eyes.
Presumably in her mind, the former "Uncle Sera" is dead!
Ah......
Niracek smiled mockingly, and then his face showed a determined look again.
Forget it, just make mistakes!
He has no way to turn back now. Unless he is willing to go back and die, accept the title of "traitor" and the endless scorn from his tribe, he can only go to the dark side like this.
Moreover, Nilasek still had a little bit of luck in his heart.
He felt that it was just good luck that Qualkek and the Necromancer's servants were able to win the battle on the Bloody Hills. He knew the true terror of the Demon God from the contact with Baal's consciousness. He didn't think that the current Haha
Logas has the power to fight this terror.
Moreover, the troops on the Bloody Hills are just the vanguard of the demon army. On the frozen highlands, there are still hundreds of thousands of demon main forces.
Can Qualkek and the so-called "Devil's Nemesis" defeat such a number?
No! This is impossible!
When they failed, when they were about to lead the tribe into a place of eternal destruction, he would go back, return to the tribe as a savior, and preserve the tribe's fire...
At that time, I was the hero of the entire tribe!
Thinking of this, Niracek once again convinced himself. He cheered up and moved on with Anya, who was imprisoned in the bone prison.
Soon, he came to a small island in the middle of a frozen river.
He saw a special rune altar in the center of the island, and directed the skeletons to place the cage holding Anya on the altar.
Bang!
The bone prison dispersed, and Anya's figure fell to the ground.
Her whole body was covered with tragic scars, and her face also had a scar that spanned her entire face.
Anya fell down on the altar, leaning against the stone steps of the altar with her back weakly, staring at Nilasek without saying a word, looking at him quietly with a look that looked at garbage.
Niracek walked silently in front of her and stretched out his pale and withered hand to touch Anya's cheek, but Anya tried his best to avoid it.
She has been cursed with a powerful aging curse, and now except for her eyes, she has to exert all her strength to move anywhere else on her body.
"Anya...don't look at me like this, Uncle Sera has no choice but to do it.
You don’t understand that the tribe is facing the crisis of destruction. In order to protect our tribe, I can only do this...
I know you won’t understand, but it doesn’t matter, you will understand soon, and I will not forget to tell my tribe about your achievements..."
Niracek spent all his time trying to exaggerate his helplessness and humiliation.
But Anya just lay quietly on the altar, still looking at him with that look of disgust.
Until he couldn't bear it anymore, he stepped back from the altar, gritted his teeth and waved his hand fiercely, a cloud of white frost rose up from the altar, completely wrapping Anya in it.
"Forgive me, Anya, Uncle Sera...it was forced..." (To be continued)
