The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 213 The Sun and Moon Kings Visit Simultaneously?
General Thor walked to a position a few meters away from Balor the Balrog.

The binding magic circle lit up, isolating the blazing heat from the fire demon's body.

—Early, when the Balrog was unconscious, human mages used cold and water-based magic such as [Ice Ray] and [Azure Water Sphere] to cool it down, temporarily extinguishing the intense flames on its body. Now, although the Balrog still radiates high temperatures, it is largely under control and unlikely to harm those around it.

The imperial general, holding a diamond in his hands, stared at the tightly bound fire demon and gave orders to his men:
"Prepare yourselves to lower this Balrog's saving throws and magic resistance."

"I'm about to cast [Otherworldly Oath] to forcibly bind this fire demon."

As a result, the high-ranking mages around them cast a series of spells that weakened the Balrog's resistance and brought misfortune upon it, which was now unable to resist.

[Break Resistance], [Curse], [Misfortune]...

These spells reduce the target's saving throws and magic resistance, or make the target less lucky and more difficult to save from subsequent [Otherworldly Binding] spells.

Latour was severely injured and weakened, and could only let the spells hit him one by one, feeling his proud magic resistance being stripped away layer by layer, but he could do nothing about it.

Having witnessed the fate of his subordinates, he foresaw his own destiny and roared almost hysterically:

"What do you want to do?"

"Stop! Stop right now!"

Before stepping into the dimensional rift, Latour thought that the worst-case scenario would be that he would perish in the material plane, his essence returning to the abyss to be reborn, only as a weaker demon.

But now, they have to become obedient servants to humans?

Harboring great ambitions, he led a large army to invade the material plane, but not only did he fail, he also became a human's pet...

This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Stop!"

The fire demon roared, its pain and rage reaching their peak, but to no avail.

"Alas, poor demon..."

From the shadows nearby, Lia Sunburst saw the once ferocious Balrog now rendered powerless and enraged, and smiled with schadenfreude.

She knew that the people of Eldor were just that bad.

This was something she already knew more than 20 years ago, on the night she was defeated and captured when she first came into contact with this Eastern human nation.

Under the leadership of the human king Elion, Eldoran never hesitated to use all sorts of tricks and schemes, and loved to turn external things into their own power!
In this war against the invasion of the abyss, the [Otherworldly Oath] spell that Elion had previously promoted played an unprecedentedly significant role.

After each great battle, the human mages of Eldoron would capture valuable mid- to high-ranking demons and use the [Otherworldly Bond] to form contracts with these ferocious otherworldly monsters, turning them into their own servants.

Fight to feed war!

If it weren't for the fact that the demons under the Blackrock Fortress contract had recently been handed over to the floating city, Lord Ratul would probably have been pleasantly surprised to find the following during his attack:

There's a group of demons on the other side too!
Thinking of this, Leah found it somewhat amusing, but her face suddenly darkened.

The human kingdom of Eldoron's method of subduing demons and sustaining war through war is predicated on a series of victories on the main battlefield.

In the Elven Royal Court, most of the time, she only heard news of yet another city falling...

"No, it's still not suitable for the Oath Bond."

General Thor carefully observed the Balrog, whose resistance had been greatly weakened, and shook his head:
"After all, it is a demon more powerful than me. Even in its weakened state, I am not confident that the [Otherworldly Bond] spell will succeed."

"If he exempts me from my spell, then the materials will be wasted."

—【Otherworldly Bond】 spell requires precious gems; the more powerful the contracted party, the higher the value of the required gems.

"Never mind, this should be the first time Eldoron has captured a legendary-level demon. Let's hand this Balrog over to His Majesty Elion." General Thor and several high-ranking mages worked together to put the Balrog back to sleep and then cast Petrify, turning it into a statue.

Just then, a subordinate who looked like a messenger rushed over and said something to General Saul.

General Saul's expression suddenly turned serious:

"What? The situation at the Elven Royal Court has become this dire?"

He turned to Princess Leah in the corner and said:

"Your Highness, there's been a new development from the Elven Court. His Majesty Elion summons you to the Floating City to discuss this matter."

"Your brother and the Moon Elf Queen are currently in the floating city of Eldoron!"

what?
Elf should be protecting our Sun Elf capital, Sun City, right now. Why is he with Her Majesty Antinoya at the floating city of Eldoron?

The king of the Sun and Moon Elves simultaneously traveled to the Eastern human kingdom...

Just learning this fact made Leah's heart tighten, knowing that the situation might be very serious.

"Please make sure nothing happens..."

Lia clenched her teeth slightly, trying hard to control the turmoil in her chest and not let her anxiety show.

"By the way, Princess Lia, if you're going to the Floating City, could you please take this with you to His Majesty Elion?"

"This is the first time Eldoron has captured a legendary demon. Please have His Majesty Elion personally form a contract with it."

General Thor cast the Shrinking spell on the stone statue that Balrog had transformed into, and handed the small sculpture to Leah.

Leah nodded and saw General Thor off.

……

High in the sky.

The floating city of Eldoron stands quietly amidst layers of flowing clouds.

After more than half a year of fighting, this floating city, which received support from all over the country, also bears many traces of war.

The fences around the floating city were clearly newly built after being damaged, there were craters from explosions on the streets, and occasionally collapsed mage towers could be seen.

Countless times, swarms of flying demons, dark and menacing, rushed toward this floating city, attempting to destroy this city high in the sky, only to be stopped by the soldiers of Eldoron, their corpses falling to the earth.

Leah stepped out of the teleportation array, confirmed her identity with the guards, and hurriedly ran towards Elian's palace.

The spacious meeting room.

A deathly silence and a somber atmosphere permeated the air.

As soon as Leah entered the meeting room, she saw two familiar figures:
Antinoya, Queen of the Moon Elves.

Elf Sunburst, the new king of the Sun Elves.

Besides them, there were more than a dozen other elf messengers who arrived at the venue.

These dozen or so elf men and women were mostly representatives of various elven families. They all looked exhausted, and their clothes were stained with blood.

Lia sat down next to Elf and asked in surprise:
“Elf, you’ve come too? I remember you should be guarding the royal city, Sunrise, preparing to resist the demons and frost giant army under the command of the Frost Giant King, Koschitch…”

Elf's answer was brief and cold:
"The capital has fallen."
