Chapter 2738: Demon trail

In the wasteland west of Erathia, Ser Mullak is listening to the report of his scouts.
"Lord Murak, according to our investigation, those demons have retreated to the barbarian wasteland. They retreated in such a hurry that they didn't even erase the traces, as if they didn't know the flames would disappear."
Listening to the report from his subordinates, Mulak pondered for a moment, and his side face was illuminated by the light rising from the priest: "Follow the deep pursuit, and the sudden disappearance of the flame is God's reward for our bravery. We must not miss this kind of fighter!"
The morale of his subordinates was boosted, and after taking the order, he led a small team to explore the depths of the Krulod Wasteland, while Mullak turned his eyes to the darkness that could not see the end.
Before the upheaval, Ser Mullak was leading his forces against the increasingly arrogant Hell army in western Erathia.
The demons that climbed out of lit the grasslands on the plains with the fire of sin. The continuous fire burned for months, and the fiery ashes covered all the warriors.
On a certain day that was destined to be unusual, all the flames in the world were silently extinguished at the same moment, and the demons who were used to the cover of flames and were good at using the power of flames were greatly reduced in strength, even the great demons had no power. Continuing, he was defeated by the Erathian Legion.
With the cooperation of angels and saints, knights and priests, the demons were soon completely expelled from Erathia. A brief period of tranquillity was restored to the Holy Kingdom.
Some Erathians take advantage of this opportunity to indulge in pleasure, wanting to experience a moment of beauty before the end, while others are burdened with heavy responsibilities and never feel at ease for a moment.
Ser Mullak was the latter, tracking the fleeing demons all the way to the barren desert west of Erathia, looking for their lair.
As a sergeant, Mullak has knowledge no less than that of a scholar.
The real home of the demons is the at the end of the underground. There is an unknown distance between it and the surface world where humans live. There is even an underground kingdom of Nigon, a magical creature in the middle. The demons can cross this and so on. The long distance, to the surface world, has already used the power of space magic.
And what he has to do is to take advantage of the great reduction in the strength of the demons, to investigate their means clearly, so as to completely eradicate the demons from the main plane. If the demons rely on the caster to come to the surface world, then he will kill the caster, and if they rely on the portal, then he will destroy the portal.
The wasteland belonging to the barbarians is barren and vast. There are a large number of uncivilized barbaric creatures living here. Their habits are primitive and simple, and the environment is far less than the vast grasslands of Erathia.
It didn't take long for Sir Mullak to stop walking when he was crossing a barren mountain. In the cave not far away, he found traces of biological activity, and the sound of footsteps was constantly approaching him.
Mullak's face sank, and then he raised his thumb horizontally and made a gesture to his subordinates to grab the mouth. The leading scout immediately set up an ambush on the path of the visitor. After the future person stumbled, he put the sharp sword on the frame. in front of the man's throat.
"No...don't kill me..." After realizing his situation, the man hurriedly begged for mercy.
He is not a human, but a green-skinned barbarian. For such an alien, the scout does not have any good looks. He is about to open his arm and inflict fear on him, so as to facilitate the interrogation of the Jazz later, but his movements are detected. Mullak, who was overwhelmed by the scout's mind, stopped.
"Don't hurt him, what's your name?" Murak asked the barbarian alone, sending the scout aside.
The barbarian is not very old, and his stature is a bit shorter than Mrak. Mrak wonders if there is another biological bloodline in this barbarian? But because of this, the savage's temper is not violent, and his eyes are full of a little bit of agility, and he is carefully looking at the direction where the scout is leaving.
After hearing Mrak's question, the barbarian reacted. The person in front of him was able to stop the scout's actions in one go, and his identity must be much higher than that of the scout. His punishment, hurriedly said:
"My lord, my name is Dadalal, I just came here to try my luck. Your strength is so strong, the food and property left by the king of cavemen should belong to you."
Murak seemed to have heard something and asked: "We are not here for some territory, we are here to track down those demons. Do you know any information about demons? And the king of cavemen, was he killed by those demons? ? When did that happen?"
Mullak's series of questions and the power of his high position made the barbarian boy in front of him inarticulate and uneasy. It took him a while to sort out his thoughts and stammered:
"My lord, the king of cavemen...he didn't die at the hands of the devil. A few weeks ago, he led those cavemen and his family away from the scarlet mountain, which is where we are now. Listen to a caveman friend. Said that the king of the cavemen went to the snowy areas of the south to participate in a grand wedding celebration, when all the kings of the end times would be present..."
After listening to the barbarian's story, Ser Mulak let out a deep hum. Although the barbarian's story was unclear, he still understood what happened to the king of cavemen. He did not die among those fleeing. In the hands of the demon, he took the initiative to leave his territory, just to participate in the wedding of the Lord of the Undead.
As an important general of Erathia, it is impossible for Mrak to not know what happened in Brakada. The mages suffered a big loss in the hands of the Lord of the Undead. Even the ancient homeland, the snowy area of ​​Brakada, is now into the hands of Rhodes. And that mighty necromancer planned to take advantage of the joy of victory to marry another king in the apocalypse, the great red dragon Moriel.
The doomsday is approaching, wars are raging, and the ambitious kings are on one side, intending to use this doomsday to attack the ancient forces and open up a new order for the world. Ser Mullak will not let the kings' ambitions succeed, but now, compared to those kings, the demons that even the angels fear are more troublesome than those kings.
The flames were silent and the demons were weak. Maybe it was just a moment. Mulak understood this truth deeply. If the demons were given a chance to breathe, they would definitely make a comeback. At that time, they would not let the Erathians go. Before he can deal with the kings of the last days, he must first deal with the demons.
"I don't care about everything that the king of cavemen left behind. After we leave, everything here belongs to you. Now tell me, during this time, have you seen any trace of demonic activity?" Mullak asked again road.
Hearing the Sir's question, the savage boy fell silent. After a while, he said solemnly:
"More than seeing traces of demons? Even the depths of the wasteland are now occupied by demons. I don't blame King Kilgor, but the demons he brought have completely destroyed the homes of barbarians... Those demons, they are hungry I will kill my comrades and eat them, especially when it is dark. The demons have taken over everything that once belonged to the barbarians, and the freedom we finally gained under the leadership of the hero Tanan is now all gone. We can no longer walk freely on the wasteland, and we have to be careful with every step."
Listening to the narration of the barbarian boy, Sir Mullak also sighed slightly. Erathia is also facing the attack of demons. Although under the protection of angels, he is still safe and sound, but if he does not completely repel those demons, he will not know in the future. What will it look like? The barbarian's words entered his heart.
"You said it was King Kilgor who brought those demons? What's going on?" Mullak asked.
This time, the savage boy hesitated. Judging from the appearance of the group of people in front of them, it was obvious that they were inseparable from Erasia, east of Krulod. They did not come for the treasure left by the king of cavemen, but instead It was for those demons, which also made the young barbarian vigilant. Maybe his answer would destroy the plan of the big leader of Kilgor. As a barbarian with the blood of Krulord, that kind of thing is impossible. forgiven.
The sergeant saw his hesitation: "Erathia is also infested by demons. Those evil and murderous demons should not exist in this world. Your king has made a serious mistake. He miscalculated the demons. Dangerous, think about your compatriots who died at the hands of demons, joining forces with demons is like trying to hide from a tiger, and it is destined to not end well."
After some persuasion by Sir, the savage boy finally made up his mind: "My brother and I need the food left by the king of cavemen very much. Will you really leave everything here to us?"
"Of course I will," Jazz assured.
"Not long ago, King Kilgor summoned a large number of barbarians to work for him. They built a huge stone gate on the sunset wasteland to the east of Krulord. It came out of the stone gate. When you cross the scarlet mountain, just keep going west, and you will see the gate of in the dark. But be careful, there are powerful demons guarding it all the time, a friend of mine is just a little closer After some, they were killed and eaten by those demons."
After a short struggle in his heart, the savage boy finally revealed the truth about those demons. It was through the stone gate on the sunset wasteland that those demons came to Krulod and brought deep disaster to the savage creatures. .
After telling the truth, the barbarian boy felt very sorry for the leader of Kilgor in his heart, and he could only convince himself with another idea. He did this so that his fellow barbarians would not be hurt, and that he could make other brothers rely on him. The food left by the king of cavemen lives on.
"Sunset Wasteland..."
Ser Murak wrote down the name of the place in the mouth of the barbarian boy, and a few thoughts flashed in his eyes. Since those demons have been completely expelled from Erathia, they can only attack the barbarians who are weaker than them.
"Thank you for your information, everything in the cave belongs to you now," said Murak.
The savage boy had a look of surprise on his face. He was ignorant of etiquette. He jumped up excitedly as soon as he heard what the sergeant said. He didn't even say goodbye to him, and ran to the dark cave on the side.
After the young barbarian left, the leader of the scout came to the sergeant again and asked him for instructions: "Sir sire, do you need to…"
The scout leader did not say the following words, but there was a deep chill in his tone, and anyone would be secretly shocked by this.
After listening to his words, Murak just waved his hand: "Let's go, after approaching the sunset plain, find out the number of demons guarding outside the gate of hell."
This time, the scout leader did not leave immediately. Instead, he objected to Sir's actions, but the words were still respectful:
"With all due respect, Sir Murak, your secret mission bears the lives of hundreds of thousands of Erathians and the hope of the entire Holy Kingdom, and nothing can go wrong. If you don’t want to see death with your own eyes, please give me the task, as long as you show your intentions a little bit, I will help you carry out the task…

"My order is that you don't need to hurt the barbarians here. If you let me know that you disobeyed the order, I think you understand what will happen." Sir Mulack stopped, staring at the scout in front of him, saying a word said in one sentence.
"But if he leaked our whereabouts..." The scout was silent for a while before he said.
"If it does happen, I will admit my mistake to you, and I will apologize to the Holy Kingdom with my life. But until that moment comes, I will not hurt those innocent people. We are Erathians, not anything Evil." Mulak said sternly.
After he finished speaking, he ignored the scouts, and instead led the entire team and continued to move towards the Sunset Wasteland where Hell is located. The scouts who stayed there were also thoughtful.
"Since Sir has ordered this, do we still need to do it?"
There were also other scouts who heard Murak's words. This was not at all what they expected. In order to avoid leakage of whereabouts, they could not take any risks. They were like barbarian teenagers. After interrogation It needs to be completely silenced.
"Didn't you all hear it?" The scout leader sighed deeply. He understood Ser Murak's stubbornness, and also understood what kind of persistence he had in his heart. He didn't mind getting his hands stained with blood. The Jazz is honored, but the current situation makes him unable to make a decision.
In the end, the leader of the scout could only sigh deeply: "Leave a person here, monitor the every move of those barbarians, and don't hurt them before they behave abnormally."
