"Hmph!" Outside the crowd, Evileye let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction. Suddenly an invisible air pressure rose from her body and squeezed into the crowd. She grabbed Sauron's palm, took a deep breath and took it off. The mask raised its head, revealing a delicate and beautiful face and crimson eyes.

"Can I ask you to dance?" The girl mustered up her courage, her pure white cheeks were blushing, Sauron smiled slightly, "My honor", and the two of them entered the dance floor together, attracting the surrounding ladies one by one. Gritting his teeth, the topic of "King Sauron likes young girls..." quickly spread throughout the upper circles of the empire.

The ball was held in a warm atmosphere. At the same time, the news that "the blood emperor established a principality for the adventurer Sauron who saved the imperial capital" will spread throughout the continent at an alarming speed. This big event that will completely change the fate of the continent has attracted many people. The country shook.

The name of Duke Sauron is also known to the world.

"Ah! It's really a difficult question for this old man. Should I take advantage of the trend and continue to cooperate with that group of people? If there is a slight deviation, even this old man will be crushed to pieces." Fuluda, the youngest man in the empire The chief court mage, standing in the garden of the mansion, facing the place where the banquet was held, seemed to be talking to the air, "Are you right, Your Excellency?"

A black shadow suddenly flashed in the originally empty void, and Nabe quietly appeared behind Fuluda, his eyes gave him an emotionless glance, his fingertips lit up with strands of thunder, and suddenly a A voice sounded from her ear, it was Lord Ainz's voice, "Nabe, stop!"

"Yes, my lord." The existence hidden in the shadows faced Fuluda. It was a black shadow in the shape of a human, emitting waves of magic power like a tsunami.

"Ah! Such a miraculous power! An existence standing at the apex of magic!" Fuluda prostrated himself at the foot of the shadow with an obsessed look on his face. "Great master, your loyal servant sends you greetings."

"Hmm!" Ainz looked at the court mage with an excited distorted expression at his feet, a red light flickered in the shadow, "Tell me, I want to know everything that happened."

"Yes, master." Completely different from the previous hesitation, Fuluda stood up respectfully and told the truth about everything that happened that day.

The mist on the surface of the shadow fluctuated from time to time, revealing the turbulent emotions in the hearts of those involved. It wasn't until Fluda had finished speaking that Ainz fell into a long groan.

His gaze rotated, looking at the brightly lit noble mansion in the distance, the part symbolizing the eyes in the black mist shone with red light, and finally subsided.

"Nabe, what do you think?" Ainz asked suddenly.

Nabe knelt on one knee, his tone extremely cold, "My lord, we should send the strongest force in the Great Tomb to wipe out this country and the murderer who killed the two lords."

"Hehehehe..." Ainz let out an incomprehensible laugh, causing sweat to drip from Fruda's forehead, "Yes, the guy who killed his companions is absolutely unforgivable. But the time to take revenge is not now!"

He turned around suddenly, the shadow quickly disappeared into the darkness, and his voice slowly disappeared into the wind, "Pay close attention to the movement of the other party, the time for the final decisive battle is coming..."

"Yes, Ainz-sama!" Nabe bowed and saluted, and waited until the other party left the garden completely, and then gave Fuluda a cold look, and his body quickly flew into the air and disappeared.

After a while, only the cold wind and Fluda lying on the ground profusely in sweat remained in the garden. A scroll recording magic fell in front of him from the sky, and Fluda completely forgot the horror just now , picked it up with bright eyes, as if getting the most important treasure, the staff in his hand hit the ground heavily, and the whole person disappeared in place.

On the golden dance floor, Sauron suddenly felt something in his heart and looked towards the outside world. Just now, there was a strong malice erupted from the outside world, and then disappeared immediately. This feeling is very similar to the one in the kingdom.

"Finally, can't help showing clues?"

The corner of Sauron's mouth curled up slightly, and entered the last rhythm with the music, and slowly exited with the flow of people, letting go of the girl in his embrace with both hands.

"You danced well!" The man's voice made Evileye let out a cry of joy, and he became dizzy.

After that, Sauron rejected several noble ladies who took the initiative to invite them over. Like an unrelated outsider, he came to a corner of the dance salon alone and poured himself a drink.

The crowd parted towards the two sides, and Jill Cunif, the master of the empire, came to Sauron, "Are you satisfied with the ball?"

"Frivolous waste of time..."

What a merciless evaluation, he is really just an adventurer.Jill Kunifor shook his head and smiled wryly, staring at the rippling wine in the glass absently, and suddenly asked aloud: "Concerning the specific alliance matters, what suggestion does Duke Sauron have?"

"Our side will be responsible for eliminating the threat of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. In return, after the Principality is established, the Empire will dispatch troops to cooperate with our side in some military operations."

"Here we come!" Jill Kunif's pupils shrank slightly, with a politician's usual smile on his face, "Can Lord Sauron tell me the specifics?"

Sauron slowly spit out a few words, "The border city Ye Lantel."

Jirkunifort's face changed slightly. Ye Rantil is a border fortress between Yuri Yestij Kingdom and Bajas Empire. It is located to the west of Ye Lantel, once it is taken to the border city, it will be equivalent to another country between the two countries.

It can be said that Duke Sauron, who obtained E-Rantel, took another step from the principality and became another country that kept pace with the empire and the kingdom.

Instinctively, Jill Kunifort wanted to reject this proposal, but rationality allowed him to restrain this impulse, because after the empire had already provoked Nazarick, an unknown force, if they fell out with the man in front of them, the consequences would be even Jill Kunifor didn't want to think about it, either.

With so much information swirling in his mind in an instant, Jill Kunifor finally raised the wine glass in his right hand, "Of course! Let's toast to our cooperation!"

Although the nobles watching didn't know what their king was talking about, it didn't mean they raised their wine glasses in agreement, and laughter filled the field for a while.

Sauron took a sip of the wine in his glass, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Speaking of which, why didn't you see the figure of the archmage of your country?"

"Ahh! The old man doesn't like such a place..." Jill Kunifor was stunned suddenly, many things flashed through his mind, and he suddenly looked at the man beside him, "Your Excellency, did you find anything? "

"If my guess is right, the other party has already started to act." Sauron gently turned the wine glass in his hand and looked at the full moon hanging high in the night sky outside. The halo around the moon exuded the color of blood, which seemed to indicate something. A catastrophe and an unknown...

Chapter 20 The Turbulent Continental Countries

Viscous blood slowly fell from the grass stalks and was absorbed by the soil below, forming a dark red mud with a stench.

A large amount of blood of different species has stained the land. It was once the habitat of demi-humans for countless years. They are represented by tribes, scattered into groups and spread all over this wasteland for a long time.

Their sharp claws and powerful bodies made them the top of the food chain in this wasteland. Even powerful monsters could hardly resist the clan's attack. Their flesh and blood were disassembled and their fangs were sawn off, which became a symbol of the tribe's powerful achievements.

But now, all of this has been broken. The bodies of the former clan warriors are distorted and criss-crossed, like blossoming "flowers". It didn't die immediately, the power of magic made it groan intermittently.

Such a scene filled the hearts of the surviving clan members of the entire tribe with fear. They knelt down on the blood-soaked mud, their bodies trembling violently.

At noon that was originally peaceful and peaceful, because of this sudden demon, the entire tribe fell into a nightmare of killing and death. Just one person slaughtered thousands of warriors in the tribe, completely killing the tribe with fear.

A cruel light shone under Demiurge's sunglasses, and there was no standing creature in his line of sight, "Idiots, give up everything you have, and I will bestow upon you supreme glory! "

"My... my lord, may I ask who you are?" the elder of the tribe, the demihuman patriarch of the previous generation, asked the demon in front of him with a look of fear on his face.

"Humble race, you are honored to hear my name today—Jaldabaoth." Demiurge opened his arms suddenly, and in the shadows behind him, figures exuding a terrifying aura emerged one after another, the death lord , Skeleton Mage, Vampire Duke, Dreadclaw Demon Wolf, and Earth Slime, these are the powerful guardians of all layers of Nazarick, and the most powerful general under the command of Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth.

The breath of terror and death stalks the land, causing the surviving demihumans to cry out in terror.

"Forgive...forgive your life!"

"Surrender to me and serve me with your life and everything."

The elders of the tribe only hesitated for a moment, then lowered their heads deeply, "Demon... Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, our tribe is willing to submit to your command forever and fight for you!"

"Devil Emperor... a good title! From now on, I am the conqueror and ruler of the demi-human tribes, Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth! Go! Let death cover this land, and all demi-human tribes Will return to a unified voice, and then pull the entire continent into the abyss of war!"

Following the order of the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth, the terrifying existences disappeared behind him. They were about to go to every corner of the plain, subdue the demi-human tribes, and finally unite them under the command of one person.

A storm that is about to sweep across the continent is already brewing in secret, and at the same time, most people on the continent are focusing their attention on another war.

Kingdom of Rey Estij

Not long ago, the damaged royal court hall was repaired, and the torn dome was resealed with colored glass, allowing the sunlight to shine in directly, but it was difficult to shake off the shadows in the hearts of everyone present.

"Everyone, what do you think of the announcement from the empire?" The king, who seemed to be getting older, opened the prelude to the conversation.

Not long ago, the Bajas Empire unilaterally issued a declaration, agreeing with Duke Sauron and his deployment of the ownership of E-Rantel, but it is now being illegally occupied by the kingdom, so it must be returned to the real owner.

If it is not complied with, the empire will send legions to wage war on the kingdom and take back Sauron's territory.

This is an outrageous, totally unreasonable accusation.

However, the strange thing is that the nobles in the entire court fell into a strange silence, which was obviously a completely wrong behavior.

Not long ago, that man's arrogant behavior still remained in the minds of the nobles present. It was a power beyond common sense, and even today it still terrifies many people.

Rambusa III closed his eyes, and the powerful adventurer who was supposed to help was forced to the side of the kingdom's opponents, but the reward came soon, in an absolutely unexpected way.

"Paul Lopuhou, what do you think?" Since none of them spoke, the kingdom had to roll their names in person.

Paul Lopuhou said loudly: "Why is that blood boy so kind to help the other party? Hearing that his imperial capital was attacked by a dragon and suffered heavy casualties, why did he take the initiative to provoke the majesty of the kingdom?"

"We have some information about this." Marquis Lei Wen took the initiative to speak, "It is said that an organization called Nazarick attacked the imperial capital, and Duke Sauron is the hero who exorcised the dragon."

"Huh! An adventurer in the district, how can he be called a duke! I think that brat, the Blood Emperor, is crazy. He would take the initiative to cede the land of the empire to him."

The contemptuous words attracted the support of the traditional aristocratic forces present. After all, in their view, the land they own is the most precious thing, and it is a property that must not be given up.

"Idiot!" Marquis Lei Wen thought to himself, nobles are not natural rulers, they only rely on the army and strength under their command, and when the opponent has the strength to match, they can have this qualification.

And when he got the information, the fear in his heart far exceeded surprise, because it must be a more profound exchange of interests for the blood emperor who has always governed the country with cruelty and wisdom to make such a concession.

He suddenly had a premonition: this world is completely different from before.

"Silence!" Lan Busha III felt harsh and interrupted everyone's discussion. His eyes slowly swept across the people present, and he said in a tired tone, "There is no objection to continuing to discuss such a topic. What we are about to face now is How are you going to deal with the threat of the empire and that man?"

Besbeyahou responded: "In any case, Ye Lantel is our territory and must not be ceded to other countries."

That piece of land is directly under the king's jurisdiction. If it is really ceded, it will cause a fatal blow to the king's prestige. This is something that the royalist party will not allow anyway.

At this time, Paul Lopuhou, who has always been at odds with the royalists, also said loudly: "Hmph! This time, as long as the empire and that adventurer dare to stretch out their claws, they will pay a huge price. Your Majesty, please let my army act pioneer!"

It's not because they want to help the king, but because they want to demonstrate the bravery of their own forces. As for how much they want to save the face they lost last time, no one knows.

The nobles of the two camps reached a consensus, "Then let's reply to the empire in this way. To be on the safe side, first use diplomatic rhetoric to delay the time, and wait for your army to gather and declare war again." The king made the final ruling and let the nobles present speak in unison. should drink, but each has a different mind.

"Father, let me go with you on the battlefield!" It was the first prince Barubro who suddenly spoke. However, his request for a battle made the king hesitate, but he received strong support from Paul Lope, "If you allow If so, I will invest my strongest elite to ensure the victory of this battle!"

Perhaps it was this self-confidence that infected everyone present, Lan Busha III was silent for a while before agreeing to the eldest prince's request.

"Your Excellency, Warrior Captain, please wait a moment." After the nobles and adults in the field dispersed one by one, Gazef was called out by a voice.

"Your Highness, Marquis Raven." It was the second prince Zanak and Marquis Raven who came here. Gazef respected these two rare intelligent people in the kingdom who had cooperated in the kingdom's demon invasion. .

"Please don't be too polite, the strongest warrior in the empire!" Zanuck looked carefully at the man in front of him as if examining him, and he glanced at the ally beside him.

Marquis Lei Wen narrowed his long and narrow eyes and said, "Your Excellency, Warrior Commander, I heard that His Majesty has allowed you to follow the battle this time and use the four secret treasures of the kingdom."

"Yes, Lord Marquis. This is His Majesty's trust, and I will swear to serve His Majesty the King and the Kingdom."

"So, if you put on all the equipment, can you threaten that man named Sauron?"

Last time, the most powerful warriors and magic casters in the royal court were completely powerless against that man. This was a shame for the entire kingdom, but it also sounded the alarm.

"If there is a head-on battle on the battlefield, I'm only [-]% sure." I didn't see Sauron officially make a move with my own eyes, only a few words from hearsay. Even if I wear all the secret treasures, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against that powerful adventurer.

"I see." Marquis Lei Wen nodded slightly, looking directly at the other party, "About the controversy just now, are you interested in hearing me say a few words?"

Gazef was slightly taken aback, "My honor."

The palace garden is said to be the place where the golden princess has been taking care of. It is full of beautiful flowers of various colors. On both sides are passages surrounded by pure white stone steps, allowing viewers to see the most beautiful part of the courtyard.

Zanak and Marquis Raven did not speak after entering here, until the three of them came to a beautiful figure crouching in the flowers, Princess Lana was in the flowers, her beautiful smile made the surrounding atmosphere seem like Be nice and gentle.

Of course, there must be Clem guarding where Princess Lana is. The arrival of Marquis Raven and Gazef aroused his vigilance. After seeing the people coming, he put down his guard slightly and quickly bowed to salute: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty the Marquis , Master Warrior!"

Marquis Lei Wen nodded slightly, and bowed deeply in the direction of Princess Lana, "Your Highness, please forgive me for disturbing you."

Princess Lana raised her head, showing a perfect and impeccable smile, "Good afternoon! The three of you, what can you do with Lana?"

"My dear sister, your appearance is more beautiful than these flowers." Faced with his sister's welcome, the second prince took a step back with a strange expression, hehe said.

"In fact, it is true. If it is convenient, can His Highness give us your shining wisdom."

Gazef found it strange that Marquis Lei Wen had an unusually respectful attitude towards Princess Lana, and even invited an unrelated girl to participate in such a major national event.

Lana tilted her head and agreed with a beautiful smile. The four of them came to a courtyard in the garden, and Marquis Lei Wen told the truth about what happened in the conference hall just now.

"Ah! If it's just the army of the empire, with the strength controlled by Marquis Raeven, I wouldn't be so worried. Is the Marquis worried about that man named Sauron?" Princess Lana took a sip of the black tea served by Clem , said aloud.
