The center of a volcano.
Red magma was flowing everywhere around.
Waves of heat came, and a pungent smell filled the air.
In this active volcano where there shouldn't be any life, there is a group of people wearing heat-resistant cloaks gathered on a platform.
Right in front of the platform, there is a pitch-black statue of a monster crouching on a stone pedestal.
This monster has a face like a little devil, with pointed ears and fangs, and a pair of wings on its back.
Its sharp claws held a trident, and its eye sockets were actually emitting a red light.
When the red light faded, the figures in front of the statue knelt down with solemn expressions.
Then, the leader turned around and said, "Everyone has heard the oracle. Now let's set off immediately and head to the south of the continent of Angomelos, which is the territory of the Kingdom of Nergal!"
The cloaked men nodded silently and left the volcano.
In the Roland Empire, the Holy Church!
The eighth-level archbishop convened an emergency meeting and issued the task.
After receiving the order, believers at all levels set out towards the southern border of the Kingdom of Nigar.
In addition to the Holy Church, the eighth-level Storm Knight of the Temple of Discipline also sent knights to the Kingdom of Nigar.
Ever since Philomena's throne appeared in the outside world, all the gods who sensed the breath of the God of Summoning have issued oracles to their believers.
Because the awakening of the summoned god was too absurd, the gods were also afraid that it was a trap set by the enemy, so they asked the believers to go and test the water first...
In Gray City, Anno, who had just killed Earl Wei, had no idea of what was happening thousands of miles away.
Killing Earl Wei instantly increased Anu's experience by two-thirds, bringing him one step closer to level 18.
And he got the demon soul of Earl Wei.
As Annuo expected, the other people in the team also advanced to the third level!
Lu Yan and others have been stuck at level 15 for almost half a month, and this is just the final push.
The strength of the group has been further enhanced, which means that An Nuo can
Annuo looked at Augustine and the several third-level soldiers behind him with a look of pity.
"Why do I feel like he wants to kill me?"
Augustine swallowed and took two steps back.
An Nuo looked at it for a while and shook his head.
He temporarily gave up the idea of attacking Augustine.
Although the opponent was seriously injured, Annuo himself only had one third-level summon left.
Of course, Annuo itself is also very strong.
With Xue Feibai and others around, they won’t be afraid of Augustine.
But there is no need to take risks.
Besides, after Earl Wei's death, these soldiers could be recruited by Renault.
After taking the huge city of Grae, soldiers were needed to maintain order.
After Anno glanced at Augustine, he turned and walked into the Count's room.
Ignoring the servants hiding in every corner of the room, as well as Earl Wei's children and wife, Annuo returned all the way to Earl Wei's bedroom and entered the secret passage.
After a while, Anno came out of the underground treasure room and walked up to Augustine with a smile on his face. He said, "I don't need to say more about how Earl Wei fell into darkness and became a demon. I will tell you something you don't know."
Augustine asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”
"Glai City's troops attacking Valkham were defeated. It won't be long before Valkham's troops arrive outside of Grei City, and Viscount Renault will take over Grei City."
"What?" Augustine's first reaction when he heard this was that Anno was lying to him.
But then he realized that there was no need for An Nuo to lie to him.
The outcome of a war cannot be changed by just one person's words.
Then think about An Nuo and others appearing here.
Later, Earl Wei was assassinated and turned into a demon, and then was killed in public!
Augustine was certain in his heart that Anno was from Valkham.
As for why Earl Wei turned into a demon, it doesn't matter now.
What’s important is that Anno and his group successfully killed Wei Dick, who turned into a demon and disguised himself as a human lord.
"Earl Wei is dead. As Earl Wei's lackeys, you cannot escape responsibility according to the law. You may even be sentenced!"
After hearing what Annuo said, Augustine's expression changed instantly.
He has already reacted.
The other soldiers might be fine.
But as Earl Wei's personal bodyguard, he has been protecting Earl Wei's safety, which can be said to be an accomplice to the evil.
Even the fact that Earl Wei was promoted to level 20 was half due to him.
If this punishment were to come upon him, his end might be miserable.
Although level 20 is already a top master in Gray City.
But in the royal capital, there are many people who can kill him with just a flick of the finger.
And when the devil appears in Gray City, the king will definitely send people to investigate.
After all, the problem this time is with the nobles, so it will probably be taken very seriously.
If he escapes, the higher-ups will definitely send people to bring him back.
After realizing this, Augustine's face suddenly darkened.
He only stayed here as a guard because Earl Wei paid him very well, and he had no idea about the relationship between Earl Wei and the devil.
Seeing Augustine at a loss, Anno said, "Let me give you a suggestion. When Viscount Renault comes, go to him. At this time, it is better to go to Viscount Renault than to go to other nobles."
Augustine immediately understood what Annuo meant.
After all, Viscount Renault was a participant in this battle, and he had many ways to save Augustine.
For example, Viscount Renault had long been aware of the relationship between Earl Wei and the devil, but without sufficient evidence, he sent Augustine undercover.
Even though there are some loopholes in the argument, others cannot refute this excuse.
After Annuo and Augustine finished talking, they and Xue Feibai and others dragged Earl Wei's body into the castle.
Meng Xin left the city with the news.
Augustine finally decided to follow the method Anno told him and join Viscount Renault.
the next day.
The residents of Grae City woke up from their sleep and began to discuss the explosion that occurred last night.
Residents who lived closer to the scene knew that a battle had taken place at the Earl's Castle, but they did not know the final outcome.
At this time, the people who participated in the battle yesterday "appeared".
They began to spread the word to the people in the city that Earl Wei was actually a devil.
Last night, the demon was defeated by a group of experts who worked together to save Gray City from the demon's control.
At first, no one believed this statement at all.
Until Augustine spoke about this matter in public.
He also told the people that the body of the devil Earl Wei would be transported to the central square of the inner city.
The restrictions will be lifted today and everyone can enter the inner city and recognize the true appearance of the lord.
This explosive news spreads from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people!
Soon, the central square was crowded with residents who had heard the news.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Earl Wei's demonic body separated from his head.
"Is this the devil?!"
"Everything is true, our lord is a demon!"
“It’s so terrible!”
"Who killed the devil and rescued us? We should thank him!"
…
Three days later, Viscount Renault arrived at Gray City with soldiers, adventurers and thousands of prisoners.
The soldiers in the city could see the army outside from a distance.
When Viscount Renault arrived at the city gate, he immediately opened the gate to welcome him.
The residents of the city were holding flowers and cheering on both sides of the road. Viscount Renault and his men walked in, and it felt like a dream.
A big city with a population of over 100,000 was taken down so easily!
Moreover, the other party welcomed him in like a hero.
He knew that all this was thanks to An Nuo.
The Valkham soldiers following behind Renault and the captured Grae City soldiers did not receive the news in advance.
I was petrified when I saw this scene.
Can't understand!
When Augustine came forward from the crowd with his soldiers, knelt down to greet Renault, and told him about Count Wei, many people finally reacted.
"Residents of Gray City, let us warmly welcome our Lord!"
“Oh~!”
The residents of Gray City cheered collectively.
Many people know that Viscount Renault treats his subjects in a friendly manner.
Viscount Renault becoming the new lord is the best thing for many civilians.
The biggest contributor to the whole thing, An Nuo, accidentally obtained surprising information from the letter that Earl Wei placed in the treasure room when he was harvesting lightly afterwards.
In the land of sunset, a giant dragon appeared!
