This size is already the limit without alerting others. After all, this is not the Davis family's one-man show, and they cannot be bogged down in details.
It doesn't matter if I lose some image. These guys won't be able to tell it anyway.
As Hayden Davis' figure disappeared between the gates, the guards on both sides of the gate also tacitly turned their heads slightly and looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes almost overflowing from their eyes. Then they turned back and continued their guarding duties.
The magical defense that originally left a gap was quietly filled without leaving any trace of change.
In the gap between the doors, Hayden Davis was struggling to move in bit by bit.
The solid doors in front and behind his body pressed hard on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. However, the expression on Hayden Davis's face at this moment was not one of pain caused by lack of oxygen. On the contrary, his face was filled with a smile mixed with joy and enthusiasm.
This joy even made him completely ignore the physical pain, and he kept urging his aging body to move forward.
It’s almost here, it’s almost here, I will be the one to lay the first cornerstone for the Demon Lord’s resurrection.
Looking at the light coming from the gap that was getting closer and closer, Hayden Davis's already tired body seemed to be filled with endless strength again. His speed became a little faster than before. After a few strokes, he squeezed out from the gap in the door and truly entered the wonderful Golden Valley.
A few minutes after he left, the gap between the gates closed again and returned to its normal state, protecting the safety of the place, but unfortunately the poisonous snake that caused the destruction of this place had already sneaked in.
The Golden Valley, as its name suggests, is a magnificent valley transformed from flowing gold.
The place Hayden Davis just passed through was a huge blockade line built by the five major families of the Kingdom of Wealth. With a huge amount of manpower and material resources, the area was blocked inside with three layers of blockade, and then it was designated as a restricted area within the territory of the Kingdom of Wealth, and no one was allowed to enter.
Even attempting to explore the area would result in immediate execution as a warning to others.
The people who participated in the construction of this place were all close confidants of the major families. Even in places where they had to hire ordinary people, they would replace them with slaves and then take them away to be killed.
The materials produced by this wonderland can be said to be the foundation of the five major families and the basis of the country of wealth.
That almost irreplaceable universal affinity helped them open up countless markets, but also forced buyers to sign countless unequal treaties.
It was not until the emergence of the Alessa Chamber of Commerce and the introduction of substitute materials that their actions were somewhat restrained, but even so, they still had an advantage in production.
If the Empire had not supported the Alessa Chamber of Commerce from behind, and if the chamber of commerce itself had not been somewhat strange, it would have been wiped out by them using shady means long ago.
Moreover, their network of interests has long been formed and is deeply rooted. The sudden rise of the Ailesa Chamber of Commerce cannot really threaten them at all.
However, no one expected that the Ailesa Chamber of Commerce would take advantage of the destruction of the Grans family to successfully infiltrate the Kingdom of Wealth. This did surprise the five major families, but that was all. The other party was completely unable to shake their position.
However, Haydn Davis's purpose in coming here today was not to obtain these strange materials produced in the wonderland, but to obtain this wonderland itself, left behind by the Creator God.
"It should be here."
Standing in the core area of the Golden Valley, Hayden Davis looked around and roughly determined his location. Then he stood in front of the flowing liquid gold, folded his hands and raised them above his head, and knelt down directly. The ring on his hand flashed with light, and a pitch-black hemisphere appeared in his palm, which looked like part of the core of something.
The hemisphere was not very big, only about half the size of a fist. Half of the arc was smooth as a mirror, while the other half was jagged and looked like it had been broken for some reason. However, the rich and terrifying power in the hemisphere, as if it were real, was something that no one could easily ignore.
If there were no will to control this power, even the three poles of the continent would not be able to easily ignore this small ball.
"Welcome to the resurrection of the Demon Lord—!"
Shouting the name of the Demon God, Haydn Davis slowly lowered his arms and threw the black hemisphere in his hand into the core of the wonderland in front of him.
As the small ball sank into the liquid gold, the entire wonderland began to shake violently the next moment, just like before a natural disaster.
§117 Golden Valley, Fall
As Haydn Davis placed the pitch-black ball into the core of the Golden Valley, the entire wonderland began to tremble violently the next moment.
Countless beautiful scenes made of gold were burned down in the violent earthquake in an instant and turned into ruins.
The core of the Golden Valley was like being dripped with drops of insoluble ink, and it quickly changed from its original golden color to a deep darkness that seemed to swallow up everything.
Looking at the scene in front of him, there was no fear on Hayden Davis's face, but instead a hint of ecstasy.
Ah, the Demon Lord is about to be resurrected. He has finally completed his duty.
Next, it depends on whether the Empire can also go so smoothly.
"Quick! Emergency!"
"What happened!"
Outside the gate, the blockade surrounding the wonderland was in chaos, and everyone was trying to find out the source of the incident in panic.
Was there an earthquake?
Are you kidding? Because of the special nature of this wonderland, it is completely isolated from natural disasters such as earthquakes. Even if an earthquake occurs outside, no one inside will feel the slightest vibration. The current situation must be that something unexpected has happened.
And within the walls, the changes in the wonderland continue.
At this time, the core of the wonderland had been eroded into a deep black, and this black was spreading outward rapidly like a virus. In just a short period of time, the entire core area of the wonderland had turned into a dark swamp, and all kinds of alien monsters began to breed, and pairs of ferocious claws had already protruded from the ground.
But Haydn Davis did not show any fear, and continued to kneel devoutly there, as if no matter what happened around him, he would not leave.
"You did very well."
Suddenly, a low voice sounded above Haydn Davis's head, causing his body to tremble violently.
As his gaze moved forward slightly, he saw a figure appear in front of him at some point.
"Congratulations to the Demon Lord on his resurrection!
Without any hesitation, Hayden Davis buried his head deeply again after seeing the figure in front of him, wishing he could press it directly to the ground, for fear of bumping into the figure in front of him.
Finally, the long-cherished wish of their clan was finally fulfilled in his generation.
"Now is the time to reward you."
As he spoke, a stream of black mud gushed out from the palm of the figure, completely wrapping up Hayden Davis' figure and began to transform and assimilate him.
After the changes in Hayden Davis were completed, his appearance had returned to his youth, but the difference was that an extremely powerful force was flowing and roaring in his body, far beyond what it had been before.
"Give me all that is in the land of wealth as a sacrifice."
At this time, the black figure had disappeared, leaving only a voice echoing in Haydn Davis's ears.
Countless dark mud monsters around have crawled out from under the ground that has turned into black mud. They are roaring impatiently and waiting for orders.
"I will obey your orders!"
Although the black figure had disappeared, Hayden Davis still knelt respectfully towards the place where the figure had been before, then stood up and looked at the layers of dark monsters around him.
At this moment, Hayden Davis could feel that all the monsters around him would act according to his will, destroying all obstacles along the way until everything in the Kingdom of Wealth was turned into a sacrifice to the devil.
"Begin now, devour everything you see and transform it into a sacrifice for the return of the Demon Lord!"
As Hayden Davis's voice was heard, the already restless monsters around him suddenly roared together, and then a black wave erupted and swept out of the wonderland.
Since the defense lines built by the five major families around the wonderland were more inclined to prevent outsiders from entering, the disaster that broke out from within was completely beyond everyone's expectations. The innermost defense lines were breached before they could even put up a little resistance.
Although the outer defense lines were prepared to fight the monsters, their situation was not much better.
Because these black monsters have extremely terrifying characteristics, their bodies can swallow all attacks and then return them in full, and they can also integrate into all obstacles. No matter whether they are physical or magical obstacles, they cannot stop their progress. The defense line where everyone is located is almost useless in front of them.
These monsters can easily launch surprise attacks from underground, behind people's backs, above their heads, and other places where people are least prepared, taking away lives while steadily breaking down the defenses.
As for the strong men responsible for guarding this place? Originally, there were some, but the strong men from the Davis family suddenly attacked the others by self-destructing at the moment of the change. They were caught off guard and seriously injured. They had completely lost the strength to fight. At this time, they had already packed up their belongings and prepared to flee.
But at this time, someone had already found them.
"Ahem, ahem, what the hell did that Elias guy just do?"
Covering his chest in pain and coughing up a mouthful of blood, Wyatt cursed with an ugly expression.
Just now, when Elias Davis went crazy and blew himself up, he had the worst luck. He was the one closest to him and suffered the most serious injuries. As a result, his movements of packing up things were a little unstable. He accidentally aggravated his injury just now and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
But just then there was a knock on his door.
knock knock --
"Tsk, I already told you I'm trying to figure out a solution to the anomaly, don't bother me."
Wyatt thought that some ignorant person was disturbing him, so he didn't suspect anything and cursed casually.
As his voice fell, the knocking on the door outside stopped abruptly. Seeing this, Wyatt continued to pack up the things he wanted to take and prepared to run away.
No matter what caused the mutation, going there would be suicide in his current state, and he had no interest in doing that.
"Hmm...it seems there's nothing else."
After taking a final look at the things in front of him, Wyatt nodded with satisfaction and put them all into his own demiplane. Then he turned around and prepared to leave.
But when he turned around, he was already injured and was so frightened that he trembled all over and broke out in a cold sweat.
He saw a young man appear one step behind him at some point, but he didn't feel anything at all.
Wyatt had a premonition that if the other party had chosen to attack him just now, he would have died inexplicably.
Gollum—
Wyatt swallowed and asked calmly.
"who are you?"
"Yeah, you're right. You're the last one."
“What…what are you talking about!?”
Listening to the other party's mumbling, Wyatt felt a sense of alarm in his heart, but he was seriously injured and had no strength to resist. He could only try to pretend to be majestic and try to drive the other party away, but this majesty seemed particularly thin against the backdrop of the blood that had not yet coagulated on his body.
"ended."
The next moment, the man's voice reached Wyatt's ears, leaving him confused.
It's over? What's over?
Wait, that's... my body?
Am I dead?
In front of Wyatt's eyes, a headless corpse was spurting blood from the neck, and his consciousness disappeared.
In the other three rooms, the remaining three had died before Wyatt, and the entire defense line no longer had any power to resist the waves of the abyss.
The country of wealth, the wonderful Golden Valley, was declared fallen.
§118 The Imperial Palace, Fallen
Imprum Empire, Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace.
Today, the day when the imperial army officially launched an attack on the defense line of the Fallen Vampire Clan, the imperial capital was extremely lively with lights and decorations everywhere. The emperor of the empire even directly granted a small holiday to all citizens to celebrate.
As the core of the imperial capital, the palace was bustling with people, and the maids and servants were almost busy.
As for the reason why they are so busy, it is naturally because almost all the high-level people in the human race are now collectively invited by the emperor of the empire to gather in the imperial palace to prepare to attend the celebration banquet.
It is no exaggeration to say that if something goes wrong in the current palace and all these people die, the human race will almost fall into a semi-shutdown state for a long time.
Although holding a celebration party at this moment when the war has not yet officially started feels like opening champagne halfway through, no one is so blind as to point this out at the moment.
If the emperor wants to hold a celebration banquet, then let him do it. After all, they won’t be the ones who will have a headache if things go wrong. It is more important to give the emperor some face, otherwise who knows whether the empire will make things difficult for them in the future.
Among them, the four major families of the Kingdom of Wealth were gloating over Haydn Davis's absence. Who would believe such an excuse as "I am too ill to attend"?
After returning this time, if the empire does something bad to the Davis family, they will seize the opportunity to tear off some pieces of flesh from the Davis family.
In short, all the high-ranking human beings, regardless of whether they had any grudges in the past, were all politely exchanging smiles at the invitation of the Emperor of the Empire today, waiting for the moment when the celebration banquet would actually begin.
But what everyone didn't know was that the real host of the celebration banquet, the Emperor Charles the Great, was not in the palace, and it could not even be said that he was still in the imperial capital.
Because he is now in a secret factory thousands of meters below the imperial capital.
At this time, there was no one else in the factory except Charles the Great. The whole factory was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Only the white light quietly hit the metal wall, reflecting a silvery-white light.
Logically speaking, the battle is about to begin on the front line, and now is the time when the arsenal needs to be running at full capacity, but the situation here is contrary to the norm.
Although it was somewhat related to the mysterious attack that occurred a few days ago, the damaged area at that time was only a small part of the arsenal, and it was not at all to the point of a complete shutdown.
The real reason for the suspension of all work here is probably only known to Charles the Great himself.
As Charles the Great went deeper into the core of the fortress, he opened the layers of blockade doors and entered the very core. A spherical fragment only half the size of a fist was being respectfully placed and raised. A thin barrier blocked the terrifying aura it emitted to prevent it from leaking out.
This core fragment was a gift personally presented to the Emperor of the Empire by Haydn Davis, the patriarch of the Davis family, decades ago. At that time, the Davis family said that this thing could provide infinite energy, enough to drive all the magic in the entire imperial capital.
When Charles the Great heard this statement at first, he scoffed at it. But the moment he touched the core fragment, he knew that what the other party said was true. At that moment, Charles the Great also knew the ultimate goal and ideal of his life - to dedicate himself and even everything of the empire to the great Demon Lord.
