But once the elves were gone, there was no one guarding the space passage of the three elven kingdoms.

The chain reaction that would be triggered would be quite troublesome.

At least he was unwilling to take action before the seven plagues were resolved.

Secondly, the elves today are indeed completely separated from the monsters in a practical sense.

Even if there are still a small number of elves in the upper echelons who know the history of monsters, the situation now is indeed different from that of the past.

The first generation of elves is like the Ship of Theseus.

The original body parts were replaced from head to toe, only the soul remained as a monster.

Louis even suspected that they might not even have retained their souls.

If you can avoid the will of the stars by just keeping your soul, then wouldn't it be possible to escape the dungeon by simply transforming yourself into a lich, undead, or something like that? But in fact, no creature in the dungeon has ever done this.

Don't they want to?

Most likely not.

So he was very suspicious that even the first generation of elves, those wicked cubs who were wicked to the core, might not have really left the dungeon.

...The most likely possibility is that they simply injected their own memories into the hybrids, thereby achieving an alternative form of memory replication.

Whether this can be considered a monster or not is a matter of opinion.

The elves of the later era are also somewhat different from the bad, pus-oozing elves of the first generation.

After all, most of them have bloodlines from monsters and elves, and their souls are new lives born under normal pregnancy.

In essence, they do not inherit any of the magic spirits' methods.

Even the vast majority have no such concept at all.

In their hearts, they are a group of elves who love nature and are good at bows and magic.

Monster? How could they admit it?

How much of the blood and flesh flowing in their bodies came from monsters? What was the relationship between their knowledge, habits, hobbies and memories and monsters? Not to mention that most of them didn't even know about the monsters themselves.

If it weren't for this factor, Louis wouldn't have wanted to show mercy.

But all the elves are the beneficiaries of the monster tragedy that year. If they bear this benefit, they must bear the price. There is nothing to say.

As he was about to leave the High Forest, Louis glanced at the Great Elf King who had just pulled the weapon from his neck.

Next second.

A flash of lightning passed by.

His head exploded.

He turned to the Great Elder and said:

"I don't care how many people in the High Forest have the same idea as this guy, but they'd better hide themselves, hide underground, and don't let me see them, or I will kill them if I see them."

"good."

The Grand Speaker is obviously giving up.

Anyway, it has come to this, what else can I do? Just accept it honestly.

"I won't make it too difficult for you. I'll go to the Secret Forest now, and you can contact them later. I'll finish this "Evil Man"."

"As you wish."

…

soon.

A group of people also died in the Secret Forest that day.

Louis acted even more decisively than he had in the High Forest.

Tell a joke.

From the perspective of development time, after the collapse of the Elf Kingdom, the one that inherited the most heritage was not the present Supreme Forest, but the Hidden Forest.

So as a latecomer, the Supreme Forest... is actually relatively clean.

The Hidden Woods hide some old things that have survived from the days of the Elven Kingdom.

These old things...are real monsters.

It's hard for them to survive for such a long time.

In short, Louis had a great time killing people that day.

Because these old guys really deserve to die.

After killing almost all of them, he rushed back to the Am Empire.

He didn't expect that the Demon King's army would launch an offensive after he was away for such a short time.

When arriving at the Am Empire, Little Swan's face was very serious.

She said to Louis, "Louis, there is something I'm afraid you need to know in person."

"Um?"

"Someone in the O5 Council has been killed."

"This is not normal. Helmer must have been well prepared if he wanted to attack. I wanted to kill them, and they couldn't stop me. It's normal for someone to die."

"That's not the point. The point is that the dead are resurrected."

Louis paused for a moment: "Similar to the method used to bind the Legion?"

"No, the situation with the O5 Council is very strange."

Olivia explained the relationship between the O5 Council and the River of Time, Chronos, and the situation of the Paradox Device.

Louis was speechless for a moment: "No, why do they expose problems one after another?"

"Are there any other experts?"

The little swan was a little shocked and asked about the news Louis got from the High Forest.

After roughly understanding what the goblins had encountered, Little Swan was silent for a long time and said:

“These monsters are really crazy, this kind of substitution method cannot be used simply.

If it is used simply, there must be something fishy.

The demons and monsters have probably already ascended to heaven, and this race has been wiped out."

Louis was a little surprised.

Although he had guessed it before, he didn't expect Olivia to give such a positive answer.

"Is there no other possibility?"

"Basically, no. You didn't mention a specific time before. Now that I've heard you say it, I remember one thing."

"What's up?"

"You only heard that Slaanesh's power increased during that period, but you didn't know that it wasn't just Slaanesh that increased."

Olivia said with a smile:

"The power of Tzeentch, Khorne, and Nurgle has also increased..."

Louis was silent for a long time, and finally said:

"Doesn't that mean..."

“Well, it’s probably as you think. Those long-eared ancestors were probably observed by the Four Gods of the Abyss before they even had time to leave the dungeon.

Sending his own race, even the goblins, directly into space, this level of civilization extermination is likely to further increase Khorne's power.

Hatching a race that was plagued by evil forces, and almost causing the extinction of two races at the same time, the power of Slaanesh increased.

And the Tzeentch who pushed the plan behind the scenes completed a far-reaching conspiracy..."

"But what about Nurgle? Why did Nurgle also improve?"

Louis frowned.

None of the situations Olivia mentioned fit Nurgle's operations.

But the next moment, Olivia gave him an idea that made his scalp tingle.

"I suspect that the means that caused the Golden City to lose control may have come from Nurgle."

Louis thought for a moment.

Assuming all this is related to the Four Gods of the Abyss, there is no way Nurgle can escape.

But he did see no signs of Nurgle activity.

The most likely possibility is... that the problem was created by Nurgle, right in the Golden City.

This is troublesome.

Thinking of this, he spat at those bad elves again.

He turned to look at Olivia and said, "If you want to go over and supervise the battle, no problem.

But you must remember not to step into the Golden Country casually and then procrastinate outside.”

Olivia nodded and said, "Okay."

Even Louis felt that it was a tricky existence, and there was no way she could just go straight for it.

She's not that reckless.

At the same time, Louis was also thinking about a problem.

The capabilities of this paradoxical device are simply too incredible.

To put it bluntly, each of these paradox devices is similar to a conceptual-level capability.

This is a skill that only a person in the divine realm can barely display.

Even Kronos, the River of Time, found this thing tricky, but it's really fun to use.

But why does such a powerful thing fall into the hands of that madman Herme?

He thought for a moment and said, "There is no time to hesitate. I will go and repel Helmer's soldiers first."

Monsters are dangerous in themselves, let alone monsters cultivated by the Demon King's army.

The dense swarms of monsters brought the entire Amn Empire to a standstill in an instant.

The city's defense formation can temporarily defend against the Demon King's army, but it cannot prevent the beginning of panic.

Countless people tried to leave the capital of the Amn Empire as soon as possible.

But in the current situation, trying to get out would be tantamount to suicide, and even if they were really let out, it would give the monsters an opportunity to take advantage.

All I can say is that on that day, the people in the capital of the Amn Empire were almost going crazy.

Just then, they heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from the street.

Many panicked people hid in their houses, sealing the doors and windows tightly, and did not dare to look over. They were afraid that the Demon King's army had penetrated the city's defenses and were preparing to come in and kill people.

But soon, someone noticed something was wrong.

There are those who are not afraid of death and have been observing the situation of the magic circle in the imperial capital.

As he stared in astonishment, he saw with his own eyes a legion covered in purple-black flames crawling out from the corner of the shadows.

They have height and physique far exceeding that of ordinary civilians.

Even the smallest-looking legionnaires gave people a feeling of solidity and strength.

Especially the protective gear that was like a city wall, the sound when it stepped on the ground was so clearly visible.

Someone finally remembered what these beings were. "It's the Cursed Legion! It's the Cursed Legion! Reinforcements are coming! Brothers, we can still be saved."

At this time, under Louis's order, the Cursed Legion began to take up arms and headed towards the major blockade checkpoints.

The dull footsteps these people heard were the sound of armor stepping on the stone road.

As if they realized that there was hope, citizens began to try to look out from behind the glass windows.

Then they saw with their own eyes a majestic army, with a fearless expression, marching towards the distance.

And that direction is exactly the main battlefield created by the Demon King Hermo's army.

This was the first time that the main forces of the Demon King's army and the main forces of the Cursed Legion collided head-on.

The shouts and cries of fighting and killing that rose to the sky woke up the silent city. More and more people stuck their heads out to see what was going on, and then they were fortunate enough to witness with their own eyes the war of gods that unfolded like in myths and legends.

This is a fight between monsters, which is beyond the reach of mortals.

The undead soldiers crashed directly into the Demon King's army like a carriage.

Wherever he passed, there was blood.

They were members of the Demon King's army that were crushed by the Cursed Legion.

Without much hesitation, he stepped on the corpse on the ground and turned it into blood foam.

go ahead!

go ahead!

go ahead!

Amid the earth-shaking roars, the masters of the Demon King's army also began to take action, trying to stop this terrifying legion.

However, what the Cursed Legion fears least is death.

Because they had already stopped breathing.

Standing here is the shadow before them.

A considerable number of them are true heroes who sacrificed themselves to stop the seven plagues.

It can be said that rushing to the battlefield, crushing the mortal enemy and ending the Seven Deadly Sins in this era are the reasons why they chose to stand up again.

die?

Those are the costs that need not be considered.

Because they are corpses.

…

Location: Somewhere in the Sword Coast, Outer Sea, Empire of Am

There was a being standing in front of Hermo, reporting the situation to him: "Lord Hermo, the city's protective magic circle is stronger than we thought. Even with the cooperation of the inner ghost, it is still too difficult to break in."

Herme sighed and said:

"If I had known this, why would I have embarked on this path?"

The Cursed Legion was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

The average level of those monsters was so high that even the Demon King's army, which had been accumulating strength in the dungeon for a long time, was dwarfed by them when they first encountered them.

Facts have proved that the abyss is the abyss, chaos is chaos, and Herme, who has been washed by the Four Gods of the Abyss for a long time, and the countless monsters under his command, have not stopped fearing death.

The Cursed Legion is expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Even the elites of the Demon King's army began to frantically target the Cursed Legion, trying to make them panic about death by killing team leaders or even higher-level warriors.

But there were countless monsters who saw the members of the Cursed Legion stand up again in the next second...

They finally felt panic from the bottom of their hearts.

That is a madman who truly ignores death.

Finally, several hidden legendary warriors of the Demon King’s army took action.

They planned to take advantage of the fact that the protective barrier of the Amn Empire was wide open to clear a bloody path for the monsters that would come later.

But the next moment.

A demigod stood directly in front of them.

The troll demigod's huge palm smashed down fiercely.

"Sorry, this is a no-go zone."

The terrifying fist wind turned into a shock wave that swept around.

Among several legends, some had to open the half plane in panic in order to restrain the demigod. They wanted to stop the demigod for a while at the cost of shattering the half plane and buy opportunities for their teammates.

But the next moment, another legend appeared in front of him.

The sharp long sword was wrapped in unparalleled blood and energy, instantly tearing the bodies of several legends apart.

Another demigod from the Cursed Legion has joined the battle.

The battle lasted for a long time.

The demon king's army that tried to break into the core fell down one after another like cutting leeks.

The team suffered a serious setback.

Although the number of members of the Cursed Legion is much smaller than that of monsters.

However, since only part of the protective magic array channel was open, most of the soldiers of the Cursed Legion actually only needed to guard the space channel.

The scene turned into a meat grinder, and one after another, the strong men were turned into meat paste.

At the most exaggerated time, there was the Cursed Legion on one end of the alley and the Demon King's Army on the other.

In the room in the alley, inside the door is the Cursed Legion, and outside the door is the Demon King's Army.

Be it the monsters or the cursed legion, their average survival time was no more than half an hour.
