Chapter 288 - Attack (1/2)

The elven defenders of Aglan Fortress escaped. Transported by many green dragons and silver pegasi, the remaining troops had all evacuated. But they were unable to save their infected people and could only leave them behind. However, under the pleas of these wounded, they ignited an immense fire before leaving, burying all of Aglan Fortress in a raging sea of flames.

First, it was to prevent these wounded compatriots from becoming zombie monsters. Second, it was because they saw the appearance of the demon army and did not want Aglan Fortress to fall into the hands of the demons. Since they could not keep it, they might as well make it so no one could.

Unfortunately, the elves had not expected that Roy did not intend to take Aglan from the beginning.

At this moment, Roy and the others were already near Aglan Fortress. Seeing the elven army evacuating with the green dragons and silver pegasi, Giovanni came to Roy’s side and said eagerly, “Your Excellency, do you want to make them stay behind? My people and I can easily intercept them!”

“No need!” Roy shook his head. Not many of the elves’ troops withdrew in the end, and Roy could not be bothered to pursue them. He looked at the zombie animals.

Although the fire had burned a lot of them to death, there were still many left. Roy took out the demon perfume he created earlier and poured magic power into it, getting the smell of the demon perfume to spread.

This demon perfume was originally used to cover up the scents of Julia and the others, but at the same time, Roy defined an attribute that could control zombies when he made it. This thing contained his demon blood, and he could activate it using magic power to release a pheromone. After the smell of the demon perfume spread, the zombie animals in Aglan Fortress gradually calmed down from their berserk state. They staggered out of the fortress and converged toward Roy.

Roy observed that there were also many special mutants among these zombie animals. Perhaps it was because there were more zombie animals, but the number of mutants produced was much more than what he had obtained from Dendera Fortress. Under the effect of the demon perfume, these zombies and mutants gathered around him steadily while making strange roars from time to time. But overall, it was still quite quiet.

He continuously used his magic power to activate the demon perfume so that the smell kept spreading out. Gradually, the number of zombies and mutants he controlled increased, so he began to command them to move forward.

The size of the army increased once again But this time, there were almost a hundred thousand zombies. They would replace the low-level undead skeleton soldiers and become his cannon fodder.

Leaving behind a burning city, Roy led the army and set off again. After crossing Aglan Fortress, he would truly step into the territory of Eeofol.

After this mighty army marched for about three days, the environment they saw became more and more barren. The sky above Eeofol was dark and gloomy, but this darkness and gloom were not because of the weather but because of volcanic ash!

Be it Roy and Benia, as well as the other demons in the army, they felt exceptionally comfortable because the familiar smell of sulfur came from the air again.

“After the Sheogh demons occupied Eeofol, they have been working on transforming the environment here!” Giovanni explained to everyone. “To begin with, there were already many volcanoes in Eeofol. The demons chose to build their headquarters here because they had taken a fancy to this place. In the past two years, they continually detonated volcanoes, and an incalculable amount of volcanic ash rose into the sky and hasn’t dissipated for a long time. This resulted in the dim environment here! Now, most of the magma spewed out has cooled down, or else it would be sweltering here. You have to know that this is only the border…”

Roy nodded and did not say anything. When he first came to the world of Ashan, he had seen the way demons built cities, so he did not find it strange.

Although demons were very fond of destruction in other creatures’ eyes, most of the time, they only wanted to create an environment that was favorable to their survival. This was an instinct for any life form. Unfortunately, the living environment that demons liked was terrifying and disastrous to most creatures.

“Is there a demon city in front?” Roy asked Giovanni.

Giovanni shook his head. “No. Demons basically build their cities on volcanoes, so without volcanoes, we won’t be able to see cities!”

Hearing this, Roy could not help but frown. “How can we judge if our direction is correct without a city? I need a map now!”

“Should you release Demon Eyes?” Julia asked Roy.
