The devil's territory!
In a misty swamp, a mud bubble would occasionally appear on the muddy ground, bursting and releasing green gas.
The monsters entrenched here are mostly mid-level in strength.
Tick-tock…
Blood kept flowing down his arms onto the ground.
The smell of blood drifted away, attracting many monsters to gather around.
"Stupid creature from the underworld, you really don't know how to live or die!"
Fred looked at the pairs of scarlet pupils emerging from the mist, and a series of electric arcs appeared on his arms.
Swish!
With Fred as the center, a hemispherical electric field quickly expanded, covering an area within several hundred meters.
A large number of monsters turned into a ball of pitch-black charcoal without making a sound.
Tap tap tap…
The heavy footsteps were very harsh in the silent swamp, and Fred turned around instantly and took a defensive stance.
"Damn it, are they chasing me?"
"You mean Hephaestus? He won't come after us!"
A tall black shadow loomed in the mist and stopped about thirty meters away from Fred. "He should be in the God Realm now!"
Hephaestus, who had just arrived in the earthly realm not long ago, is now in the realm of the gods, which means that the opponent's godwalker body is dead!
"Adonis Elvando!" Fred became more alert after seeing the figure of the person coming.
Although he was able to escape before, it was because the person in front of him attracted the attention of Hephaestus and the two god hunters.
The two sides are currently considered allies.
But this does not mean that the other party will not kill his body.
Because the other party is the Demon King of the Demon Realm!
In front of him, God's identity is of little use.
Not only does he not care whether you are a god or not, he also has the power to kill gods!
"Fred, it looks like your plan has failed completely!"
The demon king in the mist spoke again, "Among so many Striders, you are the only one who survived, and you survived even when I arrived!
What confuses me is that the place you are supposed to appear is Sagunto, and what you are supposed to unlock is the seal of Sagunto.
But the result is that you didn't go there, and a group of people died in an inexplicable place.
Fred, if you can, can you tell me what you gods are doing?"
When Fred found Adonis before, he directly stated that his purpose was to unlock the seal of Sagunto and release the ancient monster inside.
According to the information Fred obtained when he explored a ruin, the sealed ancient monster has a Pandora's Box!
However, Fred did not tell the Demon King about the information that Pandora's Box was sealed in it.
If the other party knew about this and wanted to take the magic box for himself, Fred would be in big trouble.
It is much more difficult to snatch the magic box from the devil than to directly be promoted to a middle-level god.
Collecting all Pandora's boxes will reveal the coordinates of a mysterious treasure.
As long as the coordinates are found, it is not impossible to be promoted directly to a higher god, let alone a middle god!
Under normal circumstances, if you want to be promoted, you have to accumulate the power of faith for hundreds or thousands of years, and this is without any consumption of the power of faith.
Faced with such a huge force, there are basically not many gods who can resist it.
This is why Fred was able to attract a group of lower-level gods as allies.
"Something went wrong with the plan. Leopold encountered a strong enemy when he attacked the dwarf city.
After liberating his divinity, he not only failed to defeat the opponent, but was killed instead, exposing the existence of the Strider.
This also attracted the arrival of Hephaestus and the God Hunter, causing the plan to fail!"
Fred didn't want the devil to know that there might be a Pandora's Box in the hands of a sixth-level human.
As gods, they have plenty of time and patience to complete a task.
They only failed temporarily in this matter.
Sooner or later, they will snatch the magic box from the human summoner!
"The one who killed the Strider was a high-ranking dwarf? Then Leopold is really unlucky!"
A smile appeared on Adonis's lips, but he did not expose Fred's lie.
"Although your plan has failed, I have already started the war as agreed, and it will take a long time to end. The remuneration you promised me before, except for the deposit, must not be reduced in any way!"
Fred was completely relieved when he heard this, and replied, "Don't worry, we are gods. The resources in the divine world are abundant, and we won't default on your debt."
"Well, I'm just mentioning it. If you really refuse to pay, then I'll have to go and get it from you myself."
Fred twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Haha, this scene will never happen!"
"Okay, you seem to be in good condition, so I'll leave first!" Adonis turned around and disappeared into the mist.
"By the way, when I came here, I seemed to be followed by those two God Hunters. They should find this place soon."
"Damn earthbound creatures!"
After Fred sensed that the devil's aura had dissipated, he couldn't help but curse.
In his current state, if he were caught up by the two God Hunters, he might not even have a chance to escape.
So Fred continued to flee deeper into the demonic realm.
…
Steel Fort.
Adventurer's Guild!
"President Anno, this is a commission from Sagunto. I wonder if you are interested!"
Gustav handed the letter of authorization to Anno in front of him and explained, "After the city lord knew that the president of the Adventurer's Guild was here, he wanted to see you very much. However, the war has not ended yet, so I can only ask me to say hello to you.
Because of the previous war, too many monsters have flooded into the border cities of the Dwarf Kingdom.
Now that the Strider has been dealt with, Sagunto is ready to retake the lost territory and drive the invading monsters back to the Demon Realm.
However, we have lost too much territory, and the city lord hopes that you can assist the army in recovering the lost territory."
While Gustav was explaining, Annuo was also looking at the contents of the power of attorney.
There is no requirement on how many monsters to kill, but for every piece of dwarf land recovered, Annuo will be rewarded with a certain amount of gold coins.
The land is divided into villages, towns and small cities according to size.
Small towns refer to cities like Ironforge, such as Ironforge occupied by Monlisa.
Ten thousand gold coins per village.
One hundred thousand gold coins per town.
Ten million gold coins for a small city!
The invading monster army is actually the followers of the gods and has nothing to do with the Demon King's army.
Without the leadership of the Strider, Sagunto has the strength to slowly drive them out of the border.
But it takes time.
The dwarf lord of Sagunto entrusted Annuo with help, also wanting to speed up the process as much as possible.
The sooner we can drive out the monsters, the sooner!
"Of course you can, but I have a mission to complete now!"
Anno raised his head and said to Gustav, "There are still seven days left before the mission to protect the Iron Fortress."
"About this, after discussion, we decided to let the president complete the task ahead of time!" Kim and the other two said to An Nuo with a smile.
An Nuo asked the three people: "Hmm? Is this okay?"
"Driving the monsters back to the Demon Realm is protecting the Iron Fort, isn't it?" Austin said, "Lord Anno, please!"
Gustav looked at Anno expectantly and asked, "Master Anno, how is it?"
If Annuo agreed, the army that would assist would be his troops.
Although the two thousand dwarf soldiers he brought with him suffered heavy losses the first time, Sagunto sent another batch of dwarf soldiers, replenishing the number of troops to recover the lost territory to three thousand!
With the help of a strong man like Anno, Gustav is confident that he can exceed the task.
"Since Kim has said so, I will accept this commission."
An Nuo put the letter of authorization into the ring and said to Gustav: "The sooner this is done, the better. Let's set off now!"
"The troops are on standby!"
Gustav said excitedly: "We will first clear out the monsters in the villages and towns around Ironforge, and the first city we will recapture is Ironforge!"
