Chapter 2778

In the eastern side of the Burning Lands, inside a certain cave.

This cave has been cleaned, the rock walls are spotless, and even painted a milky white.

A half-meter-thick ice pillar stands at the center of the cave, lowering the scorching temperature here, while all kinds of daily facilities are fully available around it.

On the sofa inside the cave, the Moon Envoy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, has a much smaller frame than peers her age; she is currently barefoot, leaning on the sofa, with two little sprites gently massaging her legs, and another holding a fruit plate with juicy cherries and strawberries.

"How boring, who let me be a summoner—being this comfortable is unavoidable."

The Moon Envoy stretched, and beside her, several little sprite familiars danced about.

"This guy, unexpectedly diligent—six times the acquisition gap, why does he still have more battle merits than me? After sweeping through the elf tribe, did he go on to fight the Multifact?"

The Moon Envoy looked at the battle merits ranking; seeing this ranking, she almost wanted to laugh—this time, aside from the top two, everyone else had basically given up, just trying not to drop in rank.

After closing the battle merits ranking, the Moon Envoy opened the World Contact Platform again, continuing to play the salted fish there; as long as nothing unexpected happens, securing first place is no problem, because her familiars are slaughtering batch after batch of 'Flame Demons,' these 'Flame Demons' are disorganized and undisciplined, aside from their large numbers and mid-to-high individual combat power, they are utterly useless otherwise.

In the Moon Envoy's eyes, these are just groups of walking battle merits; right now, she has already summoned 160,000 familiars, approaching the limit of 200,000, not far off.

This is the Moon Envoy's ability—she signed a contract with the 'Silver Moon Goddess,' and as long as the familiars are moon-spirit types, she can summon them.

The Moon Envoy's summoning follows a ladder-style development; she must first construct a summoning diagram before she can summon familiars in batches, and these familiars will only follow her progress in one world, and she must give them certain benefits, but compared to the returns, these costs are negligible.

When she first entered the mission world, the Moon Envoy was actually not strong, but as she gradually set up the summoning diagram, her familiars increased in number, eventually forming legion-scale forces.

This ability trait led to the Moon Envoy's unique behavior style—when she first entered the mission world, she immediately hid away, unable to fight back or retort, utterly cowardly.

After a few days or over ten days, the Moon Envoy stood up and said with great confidence: "Was it you who bullied me before? Huh? Why aren't you speaking?"

This isn't even the Moon Envoy's strongest point—her stronger aspect is that she cultivated over a dozen permanent familiars, all skilled in mining, working 24 hours a day to mine for her; this little rich lady is so wealthy that even other seventh-rank contractors are left speechless.

Since advancing to the third rank, the Moon Envoy has never personally fought enemies hand-to-hand; she is the combination of the strongest and the weakest.

……

Burning Lands·Central Area, the Purgatory Well.

The Wolf Cavalry Legion surrounds this place; this is a vertical shaft with a diameter of about a hundred meters, bottomless, and the wind from the rising hot air makes the shaft echo with sounds like ghostly wails.

Blazing light flickers faintly below in the well; the traitor·Okam stands at the edge of the Purgatory Well.

"War Lord, this below is the bottom of Purgatory; Lord Agamont has been sealed here for many years."

The traitor·Okam's eyes darted slightly; he has concealed many things, such as why the Dark Lord·Agamont was sealed, and why Su Xiao was sealed in the Huanfeng Tree in the outskirts of the Dinyin Capital.

Too many things don't make sense; back when Agamont was defeated by the great hero, it was the most unbelievable.

Back when Agamont held the Black Smelt City, commanding ten million troops, he had the momentum to flatten the Azure Dragon Continent.

Su Xiao, bearing the identity of the War Demon, was once the main force commander of the Chaos Legion, leading ten million gray beastman soldiers, driving the Six Alliance into constant retreat, with ghostly wails and wolf howls.

Everything collapsed within half a year; as the War Demon and Dark Lord were sealed, the three great lords of the Chaos Legion went their separate ways, falling apart—aside from the old Snake Person, the Ancient Tree Lord and the Ghost Princess all proclaimed themselves kings.

This allowed the Six Alliance to seize the opportunity, launch a massive counterattack, and drive the Chaos Legion into constant retreat; at that time, the Chaos Legion was just a scattered mess.

When the Chaos Legion was on the verge of total collapse, nearly unable to hold even the Smokestack Mountain, the young great lord·Arcadia stepped forward, first killing the Ancient Tree King, then exiling the Ghost Princess.

It was the great lord·Arcadia who let the Chaos Legion survive its most difficult time; now this guy is busy to the point of dizziness, as the Chaos Legion's territory is too vast, and he and the old Snake Person are both struggling to keep up.

As for the great lord·Hela, although she claims to be Agamont's daughter, she still only takes care of looking beautiful every day.

All of that from back then, the traitor·Okam knows; he is the witness to everything, yet he dares not speak a word—if he mentions even a single character of those secrets, he will be burned to ashes.

After Su Xiao looked down into the Purgatory Well, his gaze shifted to the traitor·Okam; the traitor·Okam seemed to shake his head imperceptibly.

"War Lord, isn't everything fine now? You should just leave."

The traitor·Okam's eyes darted away—don't think he's cowardly; back then, he was called the Wrathful Okam, once single-handedly charged into the enemy army, rescuing the besieged Snake Person camp; after the battle, not a single intact patch of skin could be found on his body, and he has also been fearless.

"..."

Su Xiao leapt into the Purgatory Well; wind howled past his ears, after falling about a hundred meters, he grabbed Bahamut's eagle claw, slowing his descent.

The bottom of the Purgatory Well is covered in lava, a lava lake, with a conical stone pillar at its center.

On this nearly ten-meter-tall conical stone pillar, seal inscriptions are densely carved—not just one or two layers, but over a thousand layers overlapping; this is where Agamont is sealed.

Hiss—

The boundary-cutting line popped out, the spike at its tip embedded into the left side of the shaft, a U-shaped hook dragged the boundary-cutting line and hooked it on the right side, pulling a segment of the line taut.

Su Xiao stood on the boundary-cutting line; one meter beneath his feet bubbled lava, and ahead stood that nearly ten-meter-tall conical stone pillar.

On the front of this stone pillar, there are several shallow cracks; judging by the speed of this seal breach, Agamont won't break free in a few hundred years.

From the claw marks around the shaft, it seems Agamont had his subordinates try to damage the seal at this time, but to no effect.

"Okam, did Extreme Ice compromise?"

A voice like from underground echoed from within the seal.

"I almost killed him, but he escaped, leaving only the armor where he once stored his consciousness."

Su Xiao took out the Extreme Ice Crown; the hissing cold above it dispelled the surrounding heat.

"It's you, War."

The voice from within the seal showed no emotional fluctuation.

"I command you, use every method to break the seal."

"From the outside of the seal, you must at least strive for a few hundred years inside—strive, Agamont."

"War, you haven't changed at all; it seems I can continue to trust you."

As Agamont's voice faded, a thread of fire energy drifted from the crack in the seal, eventually gathering into a branded mark.

"I command you, brand this onto your body, let fire consume Dinyin, bring the Dinyin King here—no matter the cost, bring him."

"..."

Su Xiao took out a Soul Crystal (complete), held it, infused his trace vitality, blood energy, and Azure Steel Shadow energy into it, then threw the Soul Crystal toward the flaming brand in midair.

Hiss—

The brand clung to the Soul Crystal; its energy continuously invaded the crystal—this brand is certainly not a good thing, but its power is immense, capable of controlling Agamont's army, the Flame Beastmen army he cultivated in the Burning Lands.

How Agamont cultivated this army remains uncertain for now, but one thing is certain: these Flame Beastmen have no **, their bodies are made of lava + molten stone + fire energy, and their souls are likely those of the gray beastmen who died in battle over these past ten or so years.

If there are sufficiently powerful yao ghosts, they can gather these souls and, in a specific manner, send them into the place of burning fire, ultimately forming flame beastmen.

Based on this inference, the position where the Great Lord·Hila is located is quite interesting; the other party claims to be the daughter of Agamemnon, and over these many years, has Hila truly been idle? Obviously not; that woman is more like Agamemnon's observer in the outside world.

"Completed."

Su Xiao grasped the soul crystal in midair; the seal ahead sank into silence, as if perceiving something.

"War, you have not disappointed me; you remain as loyal as you were back then."

Agamemnon obviously cannot precisely know the situation outside.

"I will rescue you soon."

Su Xiao exerted force with his feet; as he leapt up, he pulled his arm, retracting the boundary-severing line.

Before coming again, he prepares to gather resources, striving to produce dozens of ordinary Apollos to 'welcome' Agamemnon upon regaining freedom.

Su Xiao clearly knows one point: when Agamemnon breaks free from the seal, he and Agamemnon must have one die between them, which is unavoidable, because Agamemnon once betrayed the identity of the War Demon.

Grasping Bahha's eagle claw, during the upward flight, all doubts in Su Xiao's mind suddenly became clear.

He has already understood why, upon entering this world, he was sealed within the Huanfeng Tree; this might have been done jointly by Agamemnon and the Duoyin King.

Yes, Su Xiao feels that this is the reason for the collapse of the Chaos Legion, calculated by the Duoyin King, and arranged in a clear and obvious manner.

When the Chaos Legion was at its peak, he, bearing this War Demon identity, was responsible for all warfare on the front lines, while the other Great Lords handled the rear.

There are four Great Lords in total, all subordinates of Agamemnon; Agamemnon is the Dark Lord of the Chaos Legion, and everything should be bathed in his glory.

The problem lies here: the previous War Demon, although lacking the title of War Lord, was absolutely the leader of the top echelon, an invincible commander.

If comparing battlefield command, Su Xiao truly does not measure up to the 'previous' War Demon, who relied on the War Lord title, and he has always been clear about this from beginning to end.

The achievements of the previous War Demon, by the later stage, had already surpassed Agamemnon; soldiers felt they were bathed in the glory of the War Demon, not Agamemnon's, achieving fame that overshadowed the lord.

As the Dark Lord, Agamemnon naturally felt displeasure; this is not due to narrow-mindedness, but because if he does not take action, he will become the first Dark Lord in history to be exiled.

However, at that time, the previous War Demon held military authority and prestige in the Chaos Legion, truly not inferior to Agamemnon; if they turned against each other, the one ultimately overthrown would likely be Agamemnon, with a seventy percent chance.

Upon realizing this, Agamemnon flew into a rage, but soon his rage turned into shock, as he heard through his own ability that the War Demon actually intended to replace him and become the new Dark Lord, and that too in the near future.

From then on, Agamemnon began seeking ways, until the Duoyin King secretly contacted him and claimed he could help eliminate the War Demon, but with one condition: one-third of the territory of the Canglong Continent must belong to the Duoyin King, the Chaos Legion must not invade, and a blood oath must be sworn.

Agamemnon hesitated; his initial goal was to rule the entire continent, establish a prosperous, multi-ethnic coexistence nation, first develop agriculture to ensure population base and living conditions, then fully develop mysticism.

Agamemnon clearly knows one point: beyond this world, there exists an even vaster expanse, within which lie countless dangers.

For example, powerful invaders from the outside world, influx of dangerous energy, etc.; Agamemnon has witnessed a force that turns all things into deathly stillness, a force that left him unforgettable for life, even chilling his courage.

Moreover, Agamemnon also prepares to guard against possible evil gods that might reach this world; those evil gods would suck|absorb the world, making his personal world gray, decayed, and ultimately collapse.

Therefore, Agamemnon must first rule, then fully develop mysticism, to create a stronger supernatural civilization to resist those external dangers.

Unfortunately, Agamemnon angrily discovered that other rulers actually ignored his overtures, ignored his overtures as the King of Kings, so he let his great army trample everything, then rebuilt civilization on the ruins.

To possess everything in this world and ensure his own safety, Agamemnon agreed to the Duoyin King's secret alliance.

After that, it became simple: the Agamemnon+War Demon duo grand gift package was entirely sealed by the Duoyin King; losing these two mainstays, the power system of the Chaos Legion directly collapsed.

Above the Purgatory Shaft, Su Xiao stepped onto the scorching ground; he could feel that within the soul crystal in his hand lay a source power of Agamemnon, and this is the key to controlling the flame beastman army.

The number of the flame beastman army is currently unclear; there is something Su Xiao must do first: gather all the flame beastman army, enhance their combat power through the War Lord title, then add 100,000 wolf cavalry to deal with the Moon Emissary.

At the same time, in the lava cave on the eastern side of the Place of Burning Fire.

The Moon Emissary sitting on the sofa suddenly sneezed; she used her fingers to rub her nose.

"Soon you won't have to be Lao Er for ten thousand years anymore; wait for me, Bai Ye of the Reincarnation Paradise."

After the Moon Emissary exhaled, she prepared to rest for a while; obviously, the Moon Emissary still does not know what she is about to face.
