The southern part of the Holy Elf Empire, Cape of Doom, Furnace Basin.
This place is located in the southernmost part of the Witt continent. The climate outside the basin is very cold, but the climate inside the basin is as hot as summer all year round.
On the endless basin plain, bulging black chimneys can be seen everywhere, as well as many bubbling high-temperature magma pools.
These magma pools are distributed east and west, like small lakes dotted across a swamp.
In the past, except for a few risk-taking adventurers, there were basically no living creatures in the valley.
But now it is very different.
The open spaces beside the lava lakes were covered with large patches of dark red vines.
The creepers were so dense that they almost completely covered the scorched earth.
They are also not afraid of high temperatures at all. Some of their roots are deeply rooted in the scorching earth, and some are even directly rooted in the magma, obtaining energy for growth directly from the magma.
And among the dense vines, there are huge cylindrical fruits with a diameter of over 15 meters and a height of 30 meters.
There are a lot of these fruits, which are steel red in appearance, distributed here and there among the vines, and along with the vines, they are spread throughout the lava basin.
At first glance, they look like silent giants standing on the earth.
In this strange array of 'giants', two people were strolling along the path between the vines.
There were two people, one man and one woman.
The man looked exactly like Druitan, and he was wearing the loose robes commonly worn by upper elves. He looked like a knowledgeable scholar.
The woman was wearing a crimson metal rune armor that wrapped her entire body tightly.
Because of the obstruction of the helmet, the specific face cannot be seen clearly, but some long dark red hair can be seen exposed through the gaps in the helmet, and the tailor-made armor also reveals a tall and plump figure.
He is half a head taller than the man next to him.
The brave crimson warrior gazed out over the creeping vines that covered the lava valley and admired them wholeheartedly.
"Dretan, I have to say, you are truly a genius in the field of life transformation."
The man called Dritan showed a modest and reserved smile on his face.
"I can't say I'm a genius, I just have been doing research for a long time and have accumulated a lot of experience."
Then he said, "Ms. Belldandy, I once again thank the great Lord Hegrid for his timely assistance to me."
"Of course, I am also very grateful for the great help given to me, Madam. If you had not pointed out the fact that there was a traitor in Atlassen in time, I would still be being plotted against by the despicable Natural Emperor."
The crimson female warrior smiled, raised her hand to open the eye protection grille on the visor, revealing a pair of crystal clear deep blue eyes and a small part of her facial skin that was so white that it was almost glowing.
His deep blue eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of reserve: "I have to admit, you are indeed too much of an amateur in the field of war."
"But it doesn't matter. As the war commander that Lord Hegrid relies on the most, I will naturally help you make up for your shortcomings in related areas. Oh~~ There seems to be a fruit over there that is about to ripen. Let's go and take a look."
Less than three hundred meters away from the two of them, a huge cylindrical fruit emitted a faint red light and began to tremble slightly.
The two mortal substitutes of the Void God quickly rushed to the cylindrical fruit and observed patiently.
I saw vines connecting various parts of the cylindrical fruit, and there were a total of 12 vines in total.
Each vine is as thick as an adult's thigh, like an umbilical cord connected to a giant uterus, infusing rich power and boiling elemental soup into the cylindrical fruit.
As the vines continued to be infused, the cylindrical fruit became brighter and brighter, and the vibrations became louder and louder.
"Buzz~~Buzz~~Buzz~~~Crack!"
A sound similar to metal tearing was heard, and a crack appeared on the steel-red outer wall of the fruit.
'Swish~~Crack~~Crack~~'
A pair of giant hands with a deep red metallic luster suddenly stretched out from the opening. The big hands grabbed the two sides of the gap in the outer wall and lifted it to the sides with force, easily tearing a huge hole in the hard outer wall of the fruit.
Immediately afterwards, a strange creature with a humanoid appearance crawled out of the fruit.
This creature is fifteen meters tall and looks like a giant. It has an extremely strong body, especially its torso, which is round and plump. In comparison, its limbs seem a little short.
Its entire body is covered with a layer of dark red tactile leather similar to rhinoceros skin, but it is many times thicker than rhinoceros skin.
Finally, he grew a pair of wings on his back that were similar to dragon wings, but were also several times thicker than dragon wings.
After he appeared, he turned around and ran to the nearby magma pool, jumped in with a 'plop', and started drinking it 'gulp gulp', which looked more refreshing than drinking water.
After drinking for more than five minutes in one breath, its body became rounder and rounder, and the dark red thick skin on its body became shiny and almost glowed. The six pairs of eyes on both sides of its head directly showed a strong crimson light.
The female warrior was very satisfied as she watched the strange giant swimming freely in the boiling magma.
"Not bad~ Very good~~ Healthy and strong, and very agile, even better than Lord Hegrid's Golem of Destruction."
She couldn't help but sigh: "The Tree of Life is truly a rare artifact. Of course, your life transformation skills are also indispensable."
Druitan was also extremely satisfied with this terrifying creature that regarded magma as food.
Because this thing is a perfect war creation that he created by combining the Warriors of Truth, the Golems of Destruction, and all knowledge.
In terms of individual combat power, a lava giant warrior is comparable to more than a dozen dragons of truth.
He personally felt that once the number of these things exceeded ten thousand, they would definitely be able to defeat all powerful enemies in the mortal world.
As long as he has this furnace basin and is given enough time, he can continue to produce powerful warriors.
A hundred thousand could be produced in a year, a million in ten years, and by infusing them with the warrior souls accumulated by the elves over nearly ten thousand years, an invincible army of destruction could be created in the mortal world.
He believed that this thing would never cause disease, and even if it did, it would not spread over a large area.
One reason is the high temperature.
The second reason is that he spent a lot of effort to create a separate blood barrier for each Doom Slayer.
In other words, every lava warrior looks the same, but in fact they are all unique.
At this moment, his mind was almost boiling like magma.
"Ms. Belldandy, I promise that in one year, one hundred thousand lava warriors will mature."
"I will also do my best to increase production and ensure that we will have a million-strong Legion of Destruction in five years!"
"If you encounter any special situation on the battlefield, or have any specific requests, please tell me immediately. I will do my best to meet your requirements as soon as possible."
He was very respectful and humble to the female warrior beside him.
One reason was that the other party was the 'Crimson Lady', the most trusted subordinate god of the 18th level Great God Hercules.
Secondly, he himself is a powerful god with a strength of 14.9, and is only one step away from entering the great realm.
The last time he tried to launch a sneak attack on Rosen and failed, and was almost killed by him, he deeply realized how terrible the world is today.
He realized very clearly that his own strength of less than level 13 was totally insufficient to control a plane.
Therefore, when he failed to seek help from Adela and turned to the God of War, he had already made up his mind to follow behind them as an auxiliary god.
His attitude made Belldandy very satisfied.
With such a powerful god as her backup, and a huge empire consisting of 2 billion souls as her foundation, she also has enough confidence to defeat the two mortal empires in the northeast of the continent.
In her eyes, the current difficulties of the Elf Empire are not worth mentioning at all. Instead, they make her desire to fight even stronger.
But Dritan obviously didn't have her confidence, he reminded her quietly.
"Lady Crimson, among the mortal empires, the Glorious Empire is actually nothing special. The truly terrifying one is the Natural Empire hidden behind it."
"You can see that the entire empire is hiding behind a thick soul fog. No one can see the true situation inside the empire, but the tentacles of power that occasionally appear are very astonishing and are becoming more and more astonishing."
Lady Crimson was confident, but not arrogant, and she nodded in agreement with Druitan.
"The Natural Empire is indeed not simple, and it is becoming increasingly restless."
When two armies are at war, intelligence is the most important thing.
As the most trusted and relied-upon war commander of the Lord of War, she attaches unparalleled importance to intelligence and has a much more comprehensive understanding of the Natural Empire than Dritan.
She knew that the Natural Empire supported Nahuat and helped rebuild the Nahuat Republic.
It is also known that the weapons aided by the Natural Empire account for as much as 80% of the weapons consumed by the Glorious Empire.
We also know that the Emperor of the Natural Empire is a mortal who is very adventurous and dissolute, but undeniably extremely powerful.
She even knew that the Natural Empire had begun to initially master the ability of the 'Perfect Ring'.
As long as we allow it to develop for a period of time, not too long, maybe just fifty years, then no one in this world will be able to contain this mortal kingdom.
By then, the emperor of the Natural Empire will definitely unify the plane and upgrade this plane to a true divine realm.
Not only will it completely block the Void God outside the magic circle, it will also continue to support other planes and completely expel these void creatures from the mortal plane.
This is of course absolutely not possible.
Therefore, in Belldandi's view, the war in this plane is essentially a battle for survival of void life.
Unfortunately, few people share her view. Even Lord Hegrid thinks she overestimates this mortal kingdom.
Belldandy did not argue with this.
The current natural empire is far from having invincible power.
With these lava warriors, the background of the Holy Elf Empire, and his own command, it should not be difficult to defeat this group of mortals.
She also saw very clearly that her greatest advantage was that she could send all the elves to the battlefield as cannon fodder at any cost.
Even if there is a heavy loss, or even a total loss, it doesn't matter.
But the natural emperor could never do this.
Therefore, her core tactic is to deliver a fast, fierce, and reckless blow to smash the Mortal Empire to pieces!
So, she squinted at the lava warriors bathing in the magma pool and said, "Don't worry, Druitan, we will win in the end."
