Chapter 363 Soldiers at the City Wall

Becoming a demon lord not only increased your status among demons, but it also increased the hostility and vigilance from other races.

Not to mention, the T-Virus that Roy spread in the Ashan world had brought great disasters to the people of this world. In fact, even if he had not done anything, the people of Ashan would definitely want to crusade against him.

Just like in games where heroes fought against a demon king, Roy was now the demon king to be defeated…

To be honest, Roy was already long accustomed to this situation. His demon identity was a natural taunt machine that taunted others wherever he went, continuously attracting a steady stream of heroes who wanted to defeat him.

The only thing Roy had to do was to slap these heroes to death… This was the professional ethics of being a demon. With the passage of time, more detailed information came back three days later. The Haven Church of Erathia, the mages of Bracada, the elves of AvLee, the dwarfs of Grimheim, and the orcs from the various tribes of the east had almost all poured out. They mobilized most of their forces in their respective countries to participate in this crusade. The alliance army had an unprecedented number of 2.4 million!

Such a large number raised the morale of the alliance army high. They even shouted the slogan of the crusade openly-eliminate Demon Lord Osiris and raze Eeofol!

Yes, after gathering such a large army, the upper echelons of the alliance naturally did not just want to kill Roy, a single demon lord. For hundreds of years, the various races of Ashan had suffered from the demon invasions. Every lunar eclipse would bring about huge disasters because of the demon invasion. So this time, they wanted to destroy the demons’ foothold in Ashan completely, drive the demons back to Sheogh, and reinforce the seal of the Sheogh prison to obtain a longer period of peace.

After putting aside the prejudices and working together, the alliance army began operating at an unprecedented efficiency. The various races opened their respective army teleportation points in their countries and allowed large numbers of troops to rush to the battlefield through the portals. In just a short week, the alliance army had already assembled at Eeofol’s border.

More than two million troops lined the border and tightly surrounded Eeofol’s paths to other countries, making sure that no demon would be able to escape.

After the high-level combat forces of the various races took their positions, the alliance army split into five units and advanced toward Eeofol’s core from different directions.

The demons had built a few cities near the border, and they were the first to suffer. After resisting for less than a day, these cities with large numbers of demon troops were directly destroyed and flattened. Apart from a few demons who escaped, the rest were killed in the battles. Furthermore, because of the presence of angels, the souls of many demons could not even escape back to the Abyss and were directly purified.

When Roy first took over Kha-Beleth’s forces, many high-rank demon heroes had joined him. So in the process of the alliance army pushing forward, a lot of these high-rank demon heroes died. Although the number of demon troops they led was numerous, it was not enough in front of the alliance army.

Every time the alliance army captured a city, the first thing it did was to destroy the summoning formation in the city and then burn the demon city clean, completely eliminating the way for the demons to increase their troops. After the scattered defeated demons fled back to Ur-Hekal in a sorry state, they informed Roy about the war situation on the front lines and implored Lord Osiris to summon more reinforcements from the Abyss as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be impossible to win this war. But Roy was unmoved by the demons’ request. He merely nodded to indicate that he knew, but he did not do anything else.

Seeing Roy’s indifference, even Benia was a little nervous. “Your Lordship, are we really not going to do anything?”

Roy looked at her and asked, “Then what should I do? Should I summon two million demons from the Abyss?”

Benia was instantly at a loss for words. She also understood that this was impossible. It was not possible to summon so many demons from the Abyss in such a short time.

Benia was a little anxious, but Julia did not have any reaction. Julia knew more about Roy than Benia, and she knew that he had already made up his mind to return to the Abyss after this war, so she had no thoughts about whether they could win the war or not.

From this point of view, although they were both Roy’s assistant, Julia’s status in his heart was indeed higher than Benia’s…

But Benia was still very smart. From Roy’s attitude, she could tell that he had other plans, so she did not say anything.
