The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 216 The Demon That Destroyed Eldoron

"As long as the Abyssal Rift remains, the demon army will be endless. There is no point in passively defending."

El-Erian smiled:
"Therefore, I suggest that we, Eldoron, cooperate with your Elven Royal Court, gather our most elite forces, conquer the Abyss Rift, and plug this gap!"

"In that case, the invasion of the abyss will be stopped."

"The demon army that has already entered the material plane will also lose its reinforcements and will be destroyed by us sooner or later."

Seal the rift in the abyss!

What a bold and crazy idea!

This crazy idea stirred up a wave of excitement in the hearts of many elves.

"But the demon legions gathered near the abyssal rift are definitely more powerful..."

Antinoya's expression was serious:

"And our Elven Royal Court is already overwhelmed just by being on the defensive..."

Elian waved his hand, projecting a large map, and pointed to a blood-red crack in the eastern wilderness of the elven kingdom:

"According to our intelligence, when the Abyss invasion first began, an extremely powerful force did indeed gather near the rift, including legions under the command of at least 20 demon lords."

"But in the past six months, most of these demon legions have long since dispersed to various places."

"They may head west toward your Elven Royal Court, or east toward our Eldoron, or south toward the Dwarven Kingdom, or run off in other directions to engulf countless dragon lords, giant tribes, orc clans, goblin kobold tribes, and so on, all over the continent."

"As long as we fight with all our might, we will definitely be able to conquer and control the Abyss Rift."

"This is the only way to completely and permanently resolve the Abyss invasion!"

Seeing that Antinoya and Elf still looked worried and concerned about the feasibility of the plan, Elion added:
“I know you have concerns, therefore, this operation will be led by us, Eldoron, and your Elven Royal Court can send as many troops as it can.”

"Including the work of sealing off the Abyss Rift after successfully conquering it, which was also entirely the responsibility of Eldoron."

"The only trouble you need is to pass this message on to the dwarf kingdom in the south and other small factions on the continent that have been affected by the abyss invasion. Ask them to send a portion of their elite forces to support our operation."

"After all, this was a catastrophe that swept across half the continent!"

The task of sealing the abyssal rift was entirely entrusted to Eldoron!
Antinoya was shocked by Elion's righteous act:
"No one knows how long that abyssal rift will last."

"Even if we successfully control that rift, guarding the abyss will likely be a long and arduous task in the future."

"Your Majesty, if you have made up your mind to do this, on behalf of the Elven Royal Court and all the nations on the continent that have suffered this calamity, I thank you and Eldoron for your righteousness!"

"As for what price the Elven Court needs to pay, that's all negotiable."

After speaking, the Elf Queen bowed solemnly to Elian once more.

Upon seeing this, Guter's eyebrows suddenly twitched.

As expected of His Majesty Elion, you described the matter of seizing the Abyss Rift in such a refined and elegant way...

Even though we're the ones who want to take over this natural portal, it's like we're the ones who've been taken advantage of...

Within Eldoron, only a very small number of high-ranking officials knew that the true objective of Eldoron's 10 years of preparation was not merely to defend against the invasion of the Abyss.

Instead, it's an expedition into the abyss!
Therefore, Eldoron must control the Abyssal Rift, using this natural portal as a medium to continuously send power into the abyss.

Step by step, they are encroaching upon the largest resource production area and troop production base in this multiverse!
Seeing the starkly different expressions on Gutt's and the elves' faces, Elian smiled quietly. The Abyssal Rift, a natural portal, could be both the source of calamity and a bridge for interdimensional expeditions.

In economics and psychology, this phenomenon is often likened to "Tom Sawyer's Fence".

—Good things and bad things are just a matter of perspective, depending on how you look at it.

"The Elven Royal Court will forever remember the righteousness of His Majesty Elion and Eldoron!"

Elf, the new king of the Sun Elves, also bowed respectfully to Elion:
"We will be responsible for contacting the dwarven kingdoms in the south, as well as other forces that have dealt with the Elven court, including some benevolent dragon lords and free cities controlled by dwarves, to win over as many elite forces as possible to participate in the cooperation and ensure the success of this plan, thus solving the danger of the abyss once and for all!"

“If necessary, we will use high-level elven magic rituals.”

Elian nodded and said:

"Oh, right, in order to allow the Elven Royal Court to free up more combat power to participate in this plan."

"Tomorrow, I will go to the Moon Elf capital, Silvermoon City, to launch a surprise attack on the demon army outside the city, which will slightly alleviate the pressure you are facing..."

……

After discussing the next steps, Elion saw off the two kings of the Sun and Moon Elves and turned to Princess Lia, who was standing to the side:

"Your Highness, General Thor has sent word that Blackrock Fortress has captured a legendary Balor Balrog."

"Now, you can hand that Balrog over to me."

Princess Lia took out the petrified and shrunken Balrog from her dimensional bag and handed it to Elion. Afterward, she followed the elven delegation and rushed back to the elven royal court.

The Elven Kingdom is in grave danger and still needs her power!
Elian carried the stone statue into the ceremonial chamber inside the palace.

—This is a room specifically used for performing rituals. It is constructed from high-grade dragon bloodwood from the Emerald Mountains and can slightly enhance the effectiveness of ritual magic.

Elion imprisoned the stone statue that Balrog had transformed into within the [Protective Magic Circle], and removed the [Shrinking] and [Petrification] spells.

"Gu, kill me."

"Please, kill me! Humans, please kill me!"

Once freed from petrification, Ratu, the Balrog lord, knowing his impending fate, screamed in terror and madness:

"I, Latour, would never want to be a servant of you humans."

He really is a demon who only knows how to kill, and he doesn't even use his brain. You say no and you just say no... Wait, Latour... is that him?
Upon hearing the name of the Balrog Lord, Elion raised an eyebrow and asked in Abyssal:
"You are a secondary lord of the first layer of the Abyss, the [Plains of Ten Thousand Abysses]? Did you only step into the material plane this month?"

"Yes."

Balor Ratu responded honestly, saying he dared not offend humans at such a critical juncture.

"It's been more than half a year, why are you only coming now?" Elion asked.

Balor Flame Demon Latu was immediately confused.

What kind of questions are these?
Have we known each other before?
Did I make a pact to attack your Eastern human kingdom?

Although Latour was puzzled, Elion knew:

This Balor Ratu is the very culprit who destroyed Eldoron back then!
