Chapter 94 The Huge Magic Array
A large number of demons wearing gorgeous robes or other strange costumes were busy surrounding the square. In the center of the square, a huge altar five meters high stands... For other buildings in the city, the altar itself is not too high, but it occupies a considerable area, and is built of a black rock with a faint crystal luster.
The rocks themselves emitted strong waves of magic.
The ground under the altar was densely painted with strange magic patterns, spreading to a large area on the periphery.
For this reason, the demons even demolished some nearby houses and buildings.
The magic array of this size... Jing Yuanming relies on the part he has seen to calculate and found that no matter how he calculates it, it belongs to the category of large magic arrays.
"What kind of ritual is being held?" Jing Yuanming thought to himself that large magic circles and ritual magic are often inseparable, which also means trouble and disaster.
Because the demons and humans are hostile to each other, no matter what the demons do, Jing Yuanming doesn't want them to succeed from the standpoint of humans.
His first reaction was how to destroy the ceremony?
Fortunately, he quickly woke up - he came to investigate the enemy situation, not including this kind of destruction mission.
Moreover, judging from the number of demon legions in Drew City, no matter how powerful Jing Yuanming is, it is difficult to destroy the altar under their noses - he is not good at large-scale destructive attacks.
"But you still have to see what is above." Jing Yuanming's body size is at a normal human level, so the five-meter-high altar is still too high for him. Standing below, you can't see what is above the altar... It's even uncertain whether this thing is an altar - this is just a result that Jing Yuanming speculated.
As the top scout of the expeditionary army, Jing Yuanming certainly could not have just brought an unknown "information" back to report, so he quietly took a long way to go back to a house he had just passed, preparing to climb the twenty-meter-high roof to find out.
Every commanding height in the city is occupied by high-ranking demons, and this roof is of course no exception.
The one who stationed here is an Eagle Demon Thousand Marshal. Perhaps it is because it is close to the core area here? Commander Zuoni seems to have put all his elite troops here.
The Eagle Demon has excellent vision. If he stands at the highest point of the city, he can see every corner of the city. It is the best character for reconnaissance and surveillance. In addition, the Eagle Demon is born with flying ability, and once he discovers the situation, he can take off quickly and start operations.
It can be said that it is the natural nemesis of the scout.
But in front of Jing Yuanming, neither the thousand-man commander nor the eagle demon was a problem.
He climbed up to the roof "openly" and stopped not far away from the Eagle Demon, stopping as if no one was around to observe.
The eagle demon commander opened his eyes wide and glanced around with bright eyes, meticulously patrolling the range within his sight, but never noticed the demon hunter beside him.
Jing Yuanming glanced at the demon beside him, moved his position, completely hiding himself under the shadow of the demon's tall body.
Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at the altar two hundred meters away.
This was indeed a kind of ritual magic. In the center of the altar, there was a huge blue crystal - a complete huge crystal rough stone, which was almost a little higher than the altar below.
If it is divided, how many magic props can be made? Jing Yuanming subconsciously calculated in his mind and then came up with an amazing number.
This value...it seems that this group of demons has a great goal! They are willing to use such precious materials as sacrifices!
There is also a circle of guards around the crystal - they are the aura "different from the devil" that Jing Yuanming discovered before.
These guys were covered in gray robes and were covered with hoods on their heads, which were tightly covered. From the outside, they seemed to be similar to ordinary humans and had nothing special. But each of them exuded a sense of danger, revealing an elite and strong aura. They were far more powerful than the demon warriors below.
The people in gray robes formed a circle on the altar and protected the crystal tightly in the middle.
Even other demons could not get close to them. Another wave of gray-robed men were responsible for preparing the ceremony on the altar.
Because he is not a professional spell caster, Jing Yuanming is not very clear about what magic ritual is being prepared below. However, as a veteran demon hunter, he still has basic knowledge. He can barely judge that the magic circle drawn by the demons below belongs to the "summoning" type - this is still a very common magic among demons.
In fact, the Dark Star Alliance or other Fallen Magicians will also use summoning magic to summon powerful beings in the demon world to fight or trade.
However, it was the first time that Jing Yuanming had seen this summoning magic circle. Moreover, the one who presided over the summoning ceremony was an integrated elite commanding legion. You can almost imagine what the object they were going to summon.
Demon King! Only the Demon King deserves such a big fanfare ceremony.
And they are also powerful demon kings outside the Continental Realm. Because the eight demon kings including Continental Kings in this interface do not need to use such a troublesome method at all, they can only use this type of magic array when they "illegal cross-border" bypass the interface master and ask the demon kings from the outside to come!
Jing Yuanming knew that this kind of thing often appeared in wars that invaded the interface.
In the history of the Kingdom and Alliance, we have encountered the summoned demon king more than once. However, for various reasons, the only ones who come to the human world are the projections or clones of the demon kings, and their strength is only a little stronger than the demon leader at most. Although it costs a huge price, it is by no means an unsolvable problem.
And at the moment... Jing Yuanming is almost certain that the devils are not summoning the devil's clone, but a real devil's body. They also belong to the demon world, so the limits of summoning will be reduced a lot, right?
"So does the Eagle Demon Commander want to betray the King of Canyang?" Jing Yuanming said in his heart, "That's why he left his post without permission and abandoned his mission of guarding the Dawn Gate."
And now it seems that the abandoned villages in large areas around should be their work, not to prevent the expeditionary forces, but to prevent the news from being known by the King of Canyang!
Jing Yuanming frowned and thought, and as he became even more hesitant whether to force the attack on Drew City... or even whether to expose the existence of the expeditionary army.
Because according to his speculation, the Constant Yang Realm will soon usher in a new foreign devil king, and a whole army to join him. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, it is no less than the seven princes and kings in the Constant Yang Realm.
Next, the entire Settling Sun Realm will fall into war, and for humans, a civil war breaks out between demons!
No matter who wins and who loses in the end, the Settling Yang Realm will be a loser, and its strength will inevitably be damaged.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the human world. Seizing the opportunity to develop yourself; or continuing to secretly manage the gate of dawn, taking the opportunity to make trouble when the settling world is a clump, and having an oriole behind is a good choice.
But all of this is just Jing Yuanming's own speculation and there is no actual evidence.
In addition, the expeditionary army was already on the string and had to fire. Even if we bypassed the city of Drew and attacked other cities around, we would definitely alarm the place. Even the surrounding cities have been occupied by the Eagle Demon, which is no different at all.
At that time, if the Demon Legion really summons a demon king, it will definitely seek to kill the Expeditionary Army!
Therefore, it is best to take action first and foremost to be in line with the interests of the expeditionary army.
As for joining forces with the Eagle Demon Legion?
Sorry, the saying that the enemy is a friend is not true for humans and the demons! At least it does not exist in human concepts.
It is conceivable that the expeditionary army's big bosses, including Jing Yuanming, had never considered the option of cooperating with the demons.
Humans and demons are incompatible, and this is the belief and purpose of all demon hunters.
There is only the relationship between the witch hunter and the demon.
Even the entire human society has this concept.
Because without such extremely tough or even stubborn beliefs, the human world might have long fallen into the dark age.
Those who are not determined to fight against the demons are all in the Dark Star Alliance.
