Chapter 187 Unexpected Changes

The term "demon" in the otherworld is merely a derogatory term used by royalty.

The aim was to incite the common people and demons to share a common hatred against the enemy.

The enemy is indeed from another world, but the "demon" may not be.

So far, the enemy has not raised its sword and carried out a large-scale massacre, showing great restraint.

As indicated by the strange envoy they sent at the beginning, they came here to develop the fairy world, not to bring destruction.

Deep down, the third prince sincerely believed that if the other party could truly fulfill their promise, it wouldn't be impossible for the royal family, representing the fairy world, to become their vassal.

Unfortunately, the two sides were destined to be enemies.

Because the world's will in the fairy world would not allow the fairy royal family, especially the fairy king, to surrender to the other side.

When you receive a gift from fate, a price has already been secretly marked on it.

More than a thousand years ago, royal families chose to accept the "assistance" of the newly awakened world will, ascend to the top of the world, and rule the world.

That predetermined today's situation.

When faced with an enemy from another world, one cannot retreat or compromise; one must fight to the death alongside the will of the world.

We must fight to the bitter end.

Fight to the last soldier, fight to the last breath.

The Fairy King's attitude determines the Fairy Royal Family's stance.

Given this situation, the third prince could only bury his thoughts of "appeasement" deep in his heart.

Stand firm, rack your brains, and do everything you can to fight against the enemy from another world.

This includes some risky moves that could pose a greater threat to the fairy world.

such as……

The third prince looked at the altar before him, his heart filled with great hesitation.

The third prince discovered this altar by chance in an abandoned holy site.

It was already broken and unusable at the time.

After research and experimentation, the Third Prince repaired the altar and discovered that it was connected to a demon sealed within the boundary of the fairy world!

Not some derogatory term like "demon" from another world, but a real demon!

After several brief exchanges, the third prince figured out the demon's needs: it wanted to escape the boundaries of the fairy world and gain freedom.

In return, the demon will bestow upon the third prince some precious knowledge that will enhance the strength of the royal family, the royal clan, and even the entire fairy race, and accelerate the development of civilization.

They even generously shared some of their knowledge in advance.

The third prince had a gut feeling that if this demon were introduced into the fairy world, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, the knowledge given by the devil cannot be faked.

With just a gentle nudge, the king discovered a way to enhance the fairy's innate abilities.

Unfortunately, the timing was inconvenient, and the time was limited.

If the otherworldly "demon" had arrived a little later, Father would have been able to perfect the enhancement method completely.

That way, we won't be severely damaged by the enemy!

"Ugh!"

The third prince sighed softly, temporarily abandoning his thoughts of contacting the demon.

The situation has not deteriorated to the point where it is necessary to resort to demonic power.

What he should be considering now is how to stop this elite squad of otherworldly "demons".

Pushing his wheelchair out of the secret room, the Third Prince prepared to make some arrangements to see if he could stop the arrogant "demon" from another world who had ventured deep into the royal forest.

Even if you can't stop them, you have to make the fairy's voice heard.

Tell the "demons" from the other world that this is the Fairy King's Forest, not a backyard where they can come and go as they please.

As for the objective of the otherworldly "demon" elite squad.

Without much thought, there are only three possibilities: the royal court, the "biochemical factory," and the sacred place where the father sleeps.

Only these three places possess strategic value.

Wang Ting said, "Let them come if they want."

This place is still home to a large number of elite fairy royal guards who can put up a desperate resistance.

Even if they cannot annihilate that elite squad, they are not without the power to put up a fight.

Even if the other side lacked martial ethics and summoned a colossal, world-destroying force to "bombard" the royal court, it would be impossible to resist.

At worst, we can just drag those cunning dukes down with us and destroy them together.

tired.

So be it.

We need to pay more attention to the "biological plant" and deploy more troops to assist in its defense.

If all else fails, just blow up the entire area where the "biological factory" is located.

Anyway, my father has more complete and better modification and enhancement technologies.

Even taking away just one otherworldly "demon" would be a win.

Any sacrifice is worthwhile.

As for the sacred site where his father sleeps, the third prince felt that there was no need to make any special arrangements.

Currently, the two most powerful military forces in the entire fairy world have been secretly relocated there.

Besides issuing a notice to tell them to be careful.

The third prince couldn't do anything else either.

Just after the Third Prince finished making arrangements for the elite squad of "demons" from the other world.

The eldest prince, who was supposed to be visiting various clans and dukes, hurriedly returned.

The eldest prince's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed panic and fear.

His steps were fast and hurried, completely abandoning the proper posture he usually paid the most attention to.

"What happened? Don't panic, tell me slowly."

The third prince pushed the wheelchair forward and spoke softly, trying to soothe the eldest prince's emotions.

"They've attacked! They've launched an attack!"

It's extremely urgent! How could the eldest prince not be flustered? How could he dare to speak slowly?

He shouted, "Three directions, three fortresses, all under attack at the same time! They've deployed three of those monstrous aerial fortresses! How can we fight them? How can we possibly fight them?"

The sound was so loud it was almost like a roar.

The anxiety and terror in his tone were immediately apparent, even without listening closely.

The calm and gentle expression on the third prince's face froze instantly, his face stiffening.

All his plans came to naught.

In the face of absolute power, schemes and tricks may be useful, but they cannot play a decisive role.

All talk of sowing discord and forcing troops into action has become empty rhetoric.

The enemy doesn't play games.

Sending out an elite squad deep into Wang Lin's territory is nothing special.

They then launched a full-scale attack.

This intensity and scale is greater than the previous two battles combined.

The enormous gap in strength, the stark contrast, put the third prince under suffocating pressure.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, the third prince asked, "Who else knows this?"

The eldest prince opened his mouth wide and gasped for breath to calm his disordered breathing and pounding heart.

After opening and closing his mouth a few times and catching his breath, the eldest prince said with difficulty, "All the fairies know that things are in complete chaos outside."

Those otherworldly "demons" advanced from three directions simultaneously, making no attempt to conceal themselves, their momentum overwhelming and their movements extremely disruptive.

All the fairies need to do is look up and they can see the three enormous, sky-covering structures in the heavens.

The news had already spread from the front lines to the rear and had spread far and wide.

When I returned to the palace, those old fellows were all planning to leave the royal court and return to their respective clan territories.

In a moment of desperation, I ordered the royal court to enter a state of emergency preparedness and closed all entrances and exits.

No one is allowed to leave without our orders.

The third prince frowned deeply: "They just agreed like that?"

"Do they dare to refuse?"

The eldest prince narrowed his eyes, his killing intent palpable. "If they dare not agree, I'll slaughter them without the enemy even coming to our door."

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this, the third prince couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

Given the current situation, how can we force several nobles who are not of one mind to remain in the royal court?

Not only are they unlikely to fight tooth and nail to defend the royal court, but they might also act as spies inside.

Or it could transmit messages, revealing the deployment;

Or spread rumors to undermine morale;

Or they could incite unrest within the royal court to coordinate with the enemy's attack.

However, the third prince did not criticize him. Since he had already stayed, he would deal with it in another way.

The third prince composed himself, sorted out his thoughts, and said:

"Given the current situation, the royal family must step forward, strengthen its resolve, command all the fairies, and unite all forces that can be united."

Elder brother, Father is asleep. This is something you must do.

You will soon make a public appearance, gather nobles, officials, officers, soldiers, and commoners, and deliver a speech.

It is imperative to demonstrate the royal family's resolute attitude of fighting to the very end and sharing the fate of the royal court.

As for those grand dukes, immediately send troops to bring them to the palace. I will personally guard them and prevent them from having any chance to rebel!

With the third prince's decision in mind, the eldest prince regained some composure and nodded vigorously: "Good!"

The third prince then made further arrangements.

"Order the garrison of the three fortresses to resist to the end and not to retreat."

"Um."

"Order the guards brought by the Grand Dukes to support the front lines."

"Can."

"Order local garrisons, nobles, and commoners to launch their own attacks against the otherworldly 'demons'."

"no problem."

The third prince made three requests, and the eldest prince agreed three times.

After a brief silence, the third prince said wistfully, "As for the rest, elder brother, you can make arrangements accordingly."

The eldest prince sensed something amiss and immediately asked with concern, "And you?"

The third prince wore a complex expression and said softly, "I'm planning to do something I don't know if I'll regret later."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince fell silent.

The eldest prince was also aware of the existence of the altar and the demon.

As soon as the third prince mentioned it, the eldest prince immediately understood.

They were determined to stop it, believing that cooperating with the real devil would do far more harm than good.

However, with the situation deteriorating to this point, the entire clan was in imminent danger of extermination.

The eldest prince couldn't bring himself to say anything to stop it.

A moment later, the eldest prince said nothing and turned to walk out of the palace.

They intend to carry out the Third Prince's plan.

He placed several grand dukes under house arrest, ordered the grand ducal guards to support the front lines, and mobilized garrisons, nobles, and commoners from various regions to harass the otherworldly "demons"...

Names and tools, however, should not be lent to others.

Many matters must be handled by his eldest prince, the first in line to the throne after the Supreme King falls into slumber.

The royal family, not wanting to perish, must fight to the bitter end and seize every opportunity.

As for the matter of the demons, that's all left to the Third Prince.

Let's try anything, even if it's hopeless.

Hopefully this will be helpful.

Chamber of Secrets.

The third prince stopped his wheelchair in front of the altar, pondered for a moment, and made up his mind.

He pulled a sharp dagger from a hidden compartment in the armrest of his wheelchair.

Holding a dagger in his right hand, he slashed his left palm.

Emerald green blood dripped onto the altar, flowing along intricate patterns to create a bizarre design.

The third prince had lost too much blood, and the light in his eyes had dimmed considerably.

After a while, the blood was gradually absorbed by the patterns, generating a series of strange fluctuations.

It was sent toward the boundary of the fairy world.

The third prince looked up, following the direction from which the wave emanated, and stared into the vast emptiness.

In the Fairy King's Forest.

The special forces convoy sped along, avoiding any encounters with the Great Demon's sentries, hidden sentries, settlements, or garrison forces, and simply using speed to escape.

If anyone persists in attacking, crush them completely.

Even without Otis's intervention, the twins Onx and Marco took care of it.

While traveling at high speed, the team leader, Otis, who was at the rear of the convoy and responsible for bringing up the rear, suddenly looked up.

I gazed wistfully in one direction in the sky.

On the third off-road vehicle.

Asander reacted a little later, but he also sensed this unusual fluctuation.

A wave of emotion surged within them simultaneously.

What happened?

Why does the Fairy Kingdom possess a method of communication that transcends realms?

This point was not mentioned at all in the preliminary investigation report provided by the college.

Before the legion officially entered the fairy world, the advance team it sent out also failed to discover this information.

Why did the Fairy Kingdom suddenly send a communication request to some being or world outside the realm?

Whom did they contact?

Will this affect the campaign?

Various speculations emerged, stirring up my heartstrings.

"Speed ​​up!"

Otis withdrew his gaze, and his voice suddenly rang out in the team channel.

The off-road convoy suddenly accelerated again, its aggressive pace becoming increasingly blatant.

high in the air.

Inside the most advanced aerial fortress.

Sage Paro, who was sitting in the central command hall monitoring the progress in all directions, suddenly looked up and followed the strange fluctuation to the boundary of the fairy world.

Two beams of divine light emanated from his eyes, piercing through the void and seeing through the barriers of the world.

A bat-like abyssal demon came into the sight of the Sage of Paro.

The demon was sealed away, slumbering, unaware of the Sage Paro's watchful eye.

The Sage Paro promptly ended his spying and withdrew his divine light.

"Well……"

Sage Paro pursed his lips, feeling inexplicably irritated.

Those old fogies in the academy aren't really old.

How could such a big mistake have occurred?

Surprisingly, no evidence could be found that a demon was sealed within the seemingly real yet illusory boundary.

They probably knew from the beginning, but just deliberately didn't tell him.

It also allowed him to develop the world in a relatively peaceful way.

The wise man Paro carefully considered the various deceitful practices and past misdeeds of those old fogies.

Instantly, he began to guess and think that those old fogies were digging a pit for him.

If the Sage Paro really does leisurely conquer the fairy world,

Or perhaps they lack the patience and immediately engage in fighting and killing upon entering the fairy world, taking the path of violent conquest.

As the situation develops, in the end, there's a high probability that they will face a Tier 4 Abyss Demon that has opened the Abyss Passage, along with an endless army of low-tier demons pouring out of the Abyss Passage.

At that time, Sage Paro will be unable to complete the academy's mission and will have to sign a "slave agreement" with the academy.

The old fogies of the academy stepped in to clean up the mess.

You can not only conquer a fairy world that you've almost fully explored, but also harvest a wave of abyssal demons to use as nourishment for cultivating many special plants.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

"You old codger!"

Sage Paro gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

Fortunately, he had been careful all along; even without Link Grand's unwavering push, the third battle would have begun a few days later.

In terms of progress, it won't be much slower.

We will not let those old fogies' scheme succeed.

However, the thought of the old fogies' arrangements in this regard is like finding several flies on a delicious cake—it's utterly disgusting.

"You, come here."

Suppressing his nausea, the wizard Paro beckoned to the head of his personal guard and began making arrangements.

He wanted to give the fourth-tier abyss demon, who was about to awaken and whose consciousness descended into the fairy world following that fluctuation, a surprise.

Tell it that in the eyes of a wizard, so-called abyssal demons are nothing more than insects that can be easily crushed.

Be smart and keep sleeping. Don't fucking bother me with my business.

Otherwise, we'll scatter your ashes.

Bury it in the soil to make fertilizer.
