Chapter 299 Power of Nature

The alliance army consisted mainly of three countries.

One was the AvLee elves. They had the largest number, and the main battle force was about 250,000. Perhaps because the news of the death of the ranger Gelu made the elves feel great sorrow. Furthermore, the Sword of Frost had been taken away, and they had to find a way to take back this important artifact, so the elves could be said to have made a big move.

Next in number was the troops of the kingdom of Bracada. Their main force was about 100,000 troops, but there were more than 300,000 puppet troops following them. Strictly speaking, the kingdom of mages had the most troops, but the combat strength of the puppet troops was not high. If you were to say which country had suffered the most due to the appearance of Demon Osiris, then it was definitely the Bracada. He had destroyed a city in its territory and a fortress and killed many heroes. Even the life and death of the famous Solmyr was still unknown. The Bracadans were determined to annihilate the demon this time.

As for the final force of the alliance army, it was unexpected. It was not the human knights of Erathia but… barbarian forces!

Barbarians, orcs, Stronghold forces, these names were all fine. These orcs with demon bloodlines lived in Ashan, and their way of survival was similar to the dark elves. They operated in clans, but unlike the dark elves, the orcs had a common chief! The chief was equivalent to the king of humanity and allowed the forces of the orcs to unify during war instead of fighting separately.

Don’t think the demons were weak because of being sealed in Sheogh and being forced to live in Eeofol. In fact, in the past thousand years, the various races of Ashan had basically lost more than they won in the wars against the demon invasions. The demons were always the winning side. In most wars in this world, it could be said that the demon race fought against the entire world!

Demons were innately powerful. Not only did they have the talent to grow by devouring souls, but they could also continually summon reinforcements through Gates of the Abyss. It was a race born for destruction. From the moment they discovered this world, all the races in this world had been enduring the flames of war and devastation brought about by demons. Their fear and frustration toward them had almost become a basic instinct engraved into them… At least, it was indeed like this before the birth of the orcs…

In Ashan, orcs had always been recognized as demon hunters. The reason why the mages of Bracada wanted to create these orcs was to resist the demon invasion, the War of the Blood Moon. And the fact was that despite this experiment being inhuman, the practical effects were very good. Their coming to the battlefield was like a tornado sweeping through everything. Unable to use their magic against the savage power of the orcs, the demons were helpless. After inheriting demon bloodlines, and fuelled by the power of their blood rage and united by indivisible bonds of clan-like brotherhood, the orcs turned what was to be the demons’ finest hour into a nightmare of slaughter and rout. Behind the orc shock troops, the nations rallied. Time was now on the side of the alliance, who used it to develop defensive and offensive strategies incorporating their new elite orc forces.

After the orcs joined, the tides of war swung back in the favor of the alliance. This was one of the reasons why the demons had not completely destroyed the world…

The orcs utterly hated the demons. After the orcs joined the war, the demons, boiling in anger, refused to go down alone. They swore that if their legions would not survive in the war, neither would the orcs! Their solution was one of demonic simplicity-with no orc children, there would be no future for the orcs!

This war strategy of severing descendants made the orcs pay an immense price. The demon tactics turned to infiltration and a.s.sa.s.sination. As their creators drove their orc slaves to the front lines to fight, unprotected orc villages were visited at night by shadowy forms haloed in flames and terror. When the victorious tribes returned to their huts, their future generations and hopes were missing.

Even though the orcs later revolted and broke free from the control of the human mages, the orcs would never forget, would never forgive. They would always view demons as enemies.

The alliance army actually encountered this orc army chance. After the demons established a foothold in Eeofol, it had always made the orcs feel uneasy. Even though the flames of war between the demons and Erathia had temporarily stopped, the orcs were still tirelessly attacking the demon territory. Every once in a while, they would attack Eeofol. Although there were not many troops, they would often reap considerable results.

The leader of the elves was Heroine Gem. When she encountered the orc army, she immediately realized that the orcs would be powerful support. So she stood her ground against the others’ opinions and persuaded the commanding hero of the orc army, Gorshak, to get the orc army to join the alliance army and prepare to wage war against the demons of Eeofol.

The reason it was said that she stood her ground against the other’s opinions was because of the Bracadans. Not only did the orcs hate the demons, but they also hated these mages. The Bracadans had created them not only to deal with the demons but also to use them as slaves. The oppression and enslavement of the mages lasted more than a century…

It was obvious how troublesome it would be for these two forces to be in the same alliance army. But due to the existence of a common enemy in the demons, they could still maintain the internal harmony for the time being. For this, Gem had invested an immense amount of care and effort.

Although the alliance army was powerful, Gem and the other heroes actually did not have much confidence. If they only had to deal with that demon named Osiris, then there was absolutely no problem with the number of troops. But the troublesome thing was that, according to the intelligence, Demon Osiris had successfully met up with the Eeofol demons.

A powerful demon joined Eeofol’s camp, but the demons were low profile during this time, as though they had disappeared.

This situation not only did not rea.s.sure the various races of Ashan, but instead, they felt increasingly worried because they could faintly smell the aura of a scheme.

Anyone knew that unless the demons were beaten back to Sheogh, they would absolutely never lie low like this. Their nature did not allow them to do so.

In addition, the current situation in the kingdom of Erathia was unclear, and it, which should have dispatched troops, was motionless under Isabel’s orders.

All kinds of abnormal phenomena gave the various races of Ashan an ominous feeling. They sought help from the seers of the Blind Brothers to obtain some premonitions about the future. But for some reason, the seers could not explain it this time. They claimed that an unknown force had blinded their foreknowledge of the future.

Although they could not give specific prophecies and revelations, the seers still told the various races: Darkness was seething!

Such a revelation was unable to bring much help to the races of Ashan, but it also made them realize that it was highly likely that a new catastrophe was imminent. Therefore, many countries in the alliance were now preparing for war.

The alliance army led by Gem had three missions this time. One was to find a way to eliminate Demon Osiris, who was the culprit that destroyed Ulambus, Dendera Fortress, and Aglan Fortress and spread that terrifying plague. The second mission was to find a way to recover the important artifact, the Sword of Frost.

As for the third mission, Gem needed to attack Eeofol and probe the situation of the demons through war. If possible, it was best to figure out the true reason why the demons were laying low…

When Roy led his troops into the entrance of the underground world, the alliance army arrived at Aglan Fortress.

The alliance army did not approach the fortress, nor thought of entering it to set camp because they saw the ma.s.sive number of vultures circling above the fortress in the distance.

It was needless to say what it meant for these carrion vultures to appear here. There were definitely corpses all over Aglan Fortress.

The scouts reported what they saw and heard in Aglan Fortress, and what they depicted a scene of devastation: the ground was already barren, a stench was in the air, the water source was contaminated, and strange zombie creatures were wandering aimlessly…

This situation made the alliance army realize that Aglan Fortress was no longer worth saving

The reason why Gem became the leader of the army was naturally because of the fear of this terrifying plague of Demon Osiris. The most horrifying part of the plague was that it would reduce the vitality of the alliance army. And Gem was a famous female druid of the elves. What she was best at was using the power of nature to heal the army. Although according to the intelligence, holy light was not effective against the plague spread by Demon Osiris, the alliance had confidence in Gem’s nature magic.

Furthermore, Gem also brought a large number of druids…

Of course, the situation in Aglan Fortress was not worthwhile for Gem to waste her magic power. But the scouts had captured some zombie creatures. These zombie creatures were for Gem to test if she could dispel the plague. Gem was a gentle female elf with beautiful blonde hair, wearing a green elven cloak. Facing these zombies, she waved her magic staff, and a green light s.h.i.+ning with starlight descended from the sky and enveloped these zombies.

This dense green light drilled into the zombies’ bodies and began to repair their damaged bodies from the inside out.

After a while, these zombies returned to their pre-death state. They all stopped their bloodthirsty roars and fell to the ground when the green light disappeared.

“Did it fail?” the orc leader, the hero Gorshak, asked Gem in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

“No!” Gem shook her head. “It succeeded. The great power of nature eliminated the plague in them, but these infected have been dead for a long time, and their souls have long dissipated or been taken away. I can treat them, but I can’t resurrect them… In this aspect, nature power is indeed inferior to holy light.”

“It’s good that you can get rid of it!” The one who spoke was the leader of the Bracadan troops, the Master of Elements Zehir. This mustached man was the son of Cyrus, the king of Bracada, the wizard prince of Bracada! “The power of you druids is still useful. This way, the most daunting power of Demon Osiris is no longer a fear.”

But Gem shook her head. “I can only guarantee that we can protect our troops in the war, but this plague is too contagious. Perhaps it won’t take long for this plague to infect all of Ashan. And our biggest problem is whether there are enough druids and time to stop this spread…

“This is a catastrophe!” Gem sighed and concluded.
