Chapter 251: Ergal Appears

Such a big change in the Lanlu Plain was not part of the King of Aram's plan.

The reason why he was here was actually very simple, because when Alan III was still in power, before he ascended the throne, he had come to this battlefield and participated in several battles. He once led the kingdom's army to defeat the Kendenia Empire and even almost captured Kusiva once.

This time he hid his identity in the army and originally wanted to see his former soldiers for the last time. Among the undead there might be some comrades who had fought side by side with him, and the King of Aram wanted to see them off personally.

The appearance of the demons also caught the king of the Aram Kingdom off guard. At this point he could no longer hide his identity. If he did not appear, the soldiers who came this time would probably find it difficult to form effective combat effectiveness.

Sure enough, the king's sudden appearance restored the morale of these soldiers, who had fallen to the lowest point.

The king is right before their eyes, so what do these soldiers have to be afraid of?

Just follow the king's footsteps, swing the sword in your hand and chop off the demon's head.

The kingdom's army still has the upper hand in numbers, and the quality of the warriors is also first-rate. Although not all of them can cultivate fighting spirit, they are no weaker than the Iron and Bronze adventurers. There are also some warriors whose power is no worse than that of the Silver adventurers even without fighting spirit.

It was easy to deal with the not-so-powerful little demons by setting up a formation, but it was not so easy to deal with the group of low-level and mid-level demons.

Dozens of soldiers surrounded a mid-level demon, but were all slapped away by the demon, flying backwards with blood foaming from their mouths.

But then a large group of soldiers attacked fearlessly.

"Roar!" The intermediate fire demon created a huge wave of flames that caused the armor of dozens of soldiers to burn violently.

"Ahhhhh!" How could the soldier's mortal body withstand the scorching heat of the devil's flames? In less than two breaths of time, only a pile of smoking armor was left scattered down.

The body of the Fire Demon is made of flames, and with just a wave of its hand it can release flames with power comparable to that of high-level magic, which is undoubtedly a powerful weapon on such a battlefield.

What is even more despairing is that there are actually five such fire demons. They rush back and forth, and no soldier can resist the invasion of the demonic flames.

"Bing Jie, the Sword of Eternal Freeze!"

The ice-crystal-like blue light sparkled brightly, forming a layer of chilling ice aura on the surface of the king's sword 'Clarent'. King Alan drove his warhorse and rushed straight towards a fire demon.

The Fire Demon was extremely tall, and even when King Alan was riding a warhorse, he was still not as tall as his chest. However, in terms of momentum, he was not weak at all. On one side was the blazing demonic fire, and on the other side was the eternally frozen king's sword. The two completely opposite forces collided with each other.

"Drink!"

King Alan's power almost reached the limit of human beings. His king sword tore through the demon's flames and pierced straight into the chest of the fire demon.

The flames on the Fire Demon's body went out, and frost descended, condensing it into an ice sculpture. King Alan slashed the ice sculpture with a cold sword, and the huge ice sculpture shattered into a pile of ice chips.

The huge cold air attracted the rest of the fire demons. They roared, abandoned the surrounding soldiers, and rushed towards King Alan.

"Support Your Majesty!" Several knights rushed in from nowhere. After killing all the surrounding little demons with their swords, they came to King Alan and fought against the fire demon together with him.

The flames from the fire demons instantly dispelled the cold air released by King Alan, and even the ice on the ground was completely evaporated. "Go ahead." King Alan said firmly.

A killing move like the 'Sword of Eternal Freeze' cannot be used an unlimited number of times. This is a powerful effect attached to a magic item on him. The previous attack has exhausted all the magic power stored in it for several years, so he was able to kill the fire demon. What follows is a tough battle. Even King Alan is not sure that he can defeat a fire demon again. He may even die at the hands of the devil.

Even so, King Alan had no intention of retreating. As a king, he had the obligation to protect his people. No matter what the reason for the demons' appearance, there was only one thing he had to do, which was to stop the demons and buy time for the people of Plan City.

"Haha, stop for a moment."

When humans and demons were fighting fiercely, both the soldiers on the battlefield and the citizens in Plan City who had not yet evacuated heard an elegant voice ringing in their ears.

When this voice sounded, the demons suddenly stopped their movements, and their ferocious eyes forced the kingdom army not to act rashly.

"Your Majesty, look over there." A knight pointed to the sky, his tone shocked.

King Alan glanced at the fire demon whose ferocity had been mostly suppressed, then looked up at the sky with his pupils slightly shrunken.

The strange black clouds covered most of the city of Plan. Although he was just looking at it, a sense of fear ran from his head to his toes, making King Alan hold his breath.

The warrior's instinct was aroused, and King Alan could sense that the guy hidden in the black cloud was definitely a monster among monsters, and was simply beyond the reach of human beings.

"A high-level demon? Why is it here? Is it related to the Nether Bone Dragon Knight and the Ten-Winged Fallen Angel that appeared in the Kendenia Empire not long ago?" King Alan pondered the reasons for the appearance of the demon and could only make some guesses.

"Humans, come and see if you are familiar with this person?"

In full view of everyone, a figure suddenly fell out of the black cloud and floated in the air. The man had his head lowered, his hair disheveled, and he was carrying a large package on his back, looking like a traveler.

".Is that Lord Hobbes?" Someone soon recognized that man. It was none other than Hobbes, the Lord of Plan City who had fled in panic. His identity also spread among the citizens.

"Isn't the city lord directing the battle? How could this happen?"

The artillerymen on the city wall probably guessed something from Hobbes's attire. Their faces turned pale one after another, and they looked at each other, seeing the complicated expressions in each other's eyes.

"Your city lord abandoned you and ran away alone."

The black cloud rolled and transformed into a four-eyed demon that looked like a human. It grabbed Hobbs' neck, spread its demon wings and hovered for a while, then said in a gentle tone: "Your fight is meaningless. You are just tools used by others. If you give up resistance, you may still have a chance to survive."

The devil's words were very contagious. He didn't know what means he used to shake the hearts of the soldiers, causing many of them to fall into confusion for a moment.

The kingdom's army fighting the demons on the front line was better off, as they knew there was a more noble person on the battlefield, so they could barely hold on to their original intentions. However, the artillerymen responsible for operating the magic cannons defending the city were shaken, because not long ago they had fought hard because of Hobbes' instigation, but were betrayed by him in the blink of an eye. One can imagine how they felt.

You know, the magic cannons for defending the city are a very important support. If those nearly 100 magic cannons are lost, the soldiers on the battlefield will have a more difficult time.

The King of Aram could no longer allow the demon to speak freely, as his words would shake the morale of the army.
