It all began when the king announced that the throne would no longer automatically pass to the eldest son, but rather be selected from a pool of eligible princes.

That always loving and gentle older brother suddenly changed, as if taking off a mask, becoming cold and ruthless, eager for quick success and instant benefits, resorting to aggressive and ruthless means.

It was as if he had been possessed by some evil force.

He no longer treated him kindly, seeing him as an enemy.

He had previously volunteered to go to the Northern Continent, not without the intention of gaining merit to vie for the throne.

But after experiencing so much along the way, seeing the outside world, although there were many bitter experiences, it also allowed him to break free from this small kingdom and witness countless wonders.

In his heart, Ari no longer desires that throne.

Of course, one should be like Lord Ji Chen, possessing great strength, commanding forces outside, and crusading against evil!

Seeing that Ari didn’t refute, Mijat shook his head as if very disappointed. “Indeed, you are the same as before, still so weak, not daring to refute even now. I really don’t understand why so many people are willing to follow you.

It’s a pity that they all died in a foreign land and were unable to return home because of your foolish actions.”

It seemed to hit a sensitive spot, and Ari’s eyes widened in anger.

However, Mijat ignored his anger and continued, “Am I wrong to say this? Of the hundreds of servants and guards on that ship, only a few came back unscathed with you. The rest either perished at sea or died at the jaws of beasts.

I heard you wanted to seek help from the elves to curb the desert’s expansion? The idea is not bad, but too idealistic. How could those lofty elves care about you?

Oh, by the way, I heard you earned your return fare in an elf tavern. You really embarrassed the Kingdom of Ugisai…”

“Enough!” Ari shouted angrily, “My journey is not without purpose. At least I went with the intention to solve our problems and I brought back news of the demon invasion. But you are indifferent, scheming in this small court, plotting your conspiracies for the throne!”

Mijat’s face changed slightly, his gaze becoming fierce, like an angry desert lion about to roar, causing Ari to instinctively shrink back.

Mijat looked deeply at Ari. “Then why not go back to the Northern Continent and dream your little dreams again? After all, your face is not bad, perhaps you can win the favor of the nobles.”

Ari clenched his fists, his face full of anger, about to retort when he suddenly thought of something.

“What did you say?”

Mijat looked at Ari, who was angry at first and suddenly stopped, furrowing his brows.

“Anyway, since you’ve been there once, you’re familiar with the place. At least you can survive like a coward…”

“Yes, I’ll go again!”

Ari’s expression became excited, his eyes gleaming, “I want to go to the Crown of the Ocean again! To seek help from Lord Ji Chen!”

Mijat watched Ari run out of the palace like a fool, and he was stunned.

But soon, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

“Go, go as far as you can.”

After another month, everything was almost ready.

A total of four hundred and fifty-eight registered dragons on Dragon Island had all arrived at the Crown of the Ocean. More precisely, it should be four hundred and sixty-two, because three legendary-tier dragon powerhouses and the golden dragon Babatos were not on the register.

This time, it was only because of Lord Ji Chen’s astonishing hiring scale and the importance of the demon invasion that they joined the hired ranks.

Food reserves filled the underground warehouses, and ammunition filled every inch of space in the kobold caves.

On the main island coastline, a towering and massive thick wall surrounded the entire island, with dense towers standing on top and behind the wall, and battlements housing enchantment cannons and alchemical ballistas.

Behind the walls, on each anti-aircraft position, numerous anti-aircraft alchemical cannons and anti-aircraft spell turrets pointed towards the sky like inverted onions, their density making even dragons think twice.

It could be said that the Crown of the Ocean now resembled a hedgehog full of spikes, daunting to behold.

On this day, Ji Chen, standing on the city wall, suddenly raised his head as if enlightened, looking towards the distant horizon, his eyes seeming to penetrate space and project to the unreachable southern sea area.

In the southern sea area, at more than a dozen places on the seabed, the previously calm sea suddenly boiled violently. One by one, black fissures, as if from the abyss, slowly opened like the jaws of a giant beast, and countless evil­smelling black waters gushed out, instantly staining the surrounding seawater black and spreading rapidly around.

In the black water, demons with bared teeth and claws surged out: abyssal fiends, water demons, half-beast demons, tentacle demons…

Countless demons, nurtured by the ocean environment for maritime warfare, surged out like a black torrent, annihilating all living beings and polluting the environment wherever they went.

At the same time, on the sandy southern continent, dozens of huge black fissures split the sky and the ground.

Like substantial black mist, it surged out, turning the sky into darkness, completely blocking the scorching sun, and plunging the world into black-red darkness.

Countless demons, in orderly formations, slowly stepped onto the yellow sand.

In their eyes, filled with chaos, brutality, and evil, they looked at this new world, breathing in the fresh air completely different from the chaotic abyss.

Their faces were gradually stained with excitement and greed.

They… had returned!

This time, they vowed to launch revenge against all orderly forces, letting them know who the true masters of this world were!

The barriers of order were penetrated.

The entire main world experienced violent fluctuations, the sky dimmed without light, and even fine cracks appeared, with elemental energy in disarray.

Such anomalies were noticed by all forces, and a thought spontaneously emerged in their minds.

The demons are here!

The evil allied forces also saw such omens, each one becoming extremely excited.

The demons had finally arrived. If they had come any later, they would have been killed by the orderly forces and those glory lords!

For a moment, many evil forces suddenly erupted in large-scale riots, according to the original agreement with the demons, diverting the attention of the orderly fraction and buying time for the demons to establish themselves in the main world.

The forces of the orderly fraction were not to be trifled with either. Anticipating their intentions in advance, they had made sufficient preparations, and armies fully armed began to suppress and eliminate them.

The desert nations on the southern continent were closest to the fissures where the demons invaded, and even between the two groups of fissures, the vibrations they felt were the deepest.

In a medium-sized oasis located in the southern region of the continent, within a small town named Kossait, the residents witnessed the sudden appearance of a hundred-meter-long crevice less than a kilometer away from their town.

Everyone was puzzled.

Because they were in a remote location, they didn’t even know about the demon invasion.

The chubby mayor, escorted by guards, arrived at the low earthen wall of the town and looked at the crack emitting black mist, his chubby face full of confusion.

He asked in a low voice to the guard beside him.

“Do you know what this thing is?”

The guard shook his head. He didn’t know what it was either, but it didn’t look like a good thing.

But then, one of the guards said, “Mayor, this might be the entrance to a mystic realm. It is rumored that within those realms lie countless treasures and treasures!”

The mayor’s face brightened. Treasure?

He loved treasure the most!

Immediately, he loudly addressed the townspeople.

“This crack appeared near my territory, so naturally it belongs to me. None of you are allowed to approach or enter it, understand?”

The townspeople nodded timidly.

The mayor was very satisfied with the reaction of these lowly people. He was just about to order the guards to organize an expedition to explore the mystic realm and obtain the treasure.

Suddenly, the crack began to wriggle, and a large mass of black objects flew out.

The mayor widened his eyes, and as he saw these black objects, fear was written all over his face, and instinctively he pushed aside the guard next to him and ran towards the town.

However, his attempt to flee drew attention, and those black objects swooped down, accompanied by eerie screams, their sharp claws and fangs piercing through the fat body, tearing it into two halves.

At this moment, the townspeople finally saw what it was.

It was none other than a monstrous creature with a green face, fangs, and two horns on its back!

These were the first batch of winged demons to leave the rift, and upon seeing the town below, each one screamed excitedly and plunged downwards.

Fresh flesh and blood!
