Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

Chapter 176: The Elves Return Home

At this time, the Demon Realm has already fallen into a full-scale war. The Eternal Night Empire suddenly sends millions of troops to all parts of the world, and all kinds of new war weapons that have never appeared in the Demon Realm come into being.

The ghosts and demons, who had been enduring hardships, responded actively. The Ghost Alliance of the East Continent cooperated with the Eternal Night Empire to attack the seven human countries of the West Continent. The demon tribes took revenge on the orcs, trolls, minotaurs and other former demon vassals in the East Continent.

In the early stages of the war, the Eternal Night Empire advanced rapidly, pushing down all living creatures that stood in its way. No country could withstand the onslaught of this torrent of steel.

However, as the battle line lengthened, Eternal Night's front line gradually exposed problems such as supply, resources, economy, and population, and the advancement of the Eternal Night Empire began to slow down.

The Northern Army Group that attacked the Daylight Elves encountered fierce resistance after entering the Aishari Forest. The Daylight Elves took advantage of the complex forest and mountains to set up ambushes on all sides, making every tree and bush in the forest look like an enemy. The army was never able to get close to the capital, Jinyang City.

The Southern Army Group was facing the strongest demon-controlling force in the Holy Land. It suffered heavy losses in the resistance of the Kingdom of Aurelian and was unable to break through the numerous defenses set up by the Kingdom of Urien outside the Holy Tower.

As for the most powerful Central Army Group, they need to attack the periphery of the Daz Kingdom while dividing their troops to fight between the two friendly forces in the north and south, to ensure that the progress of the three armies is not much different, so as to avoid the danger of being attacked from the flank and being surrounded by the enemy from behind.

But the problem is also very obvious, that is, their most powerful strength is being divided up bit by bit, resulting in the inability to achieve a milestone breakthrough.

Marshal Byronna called Marshal Xianwu many times, hoping that she could return part of the troops, but all she got was a helpless sigh. She also wanted to return them, but what?

The Isari Forest was like a giant meat grinder, grinding up wave after wave of elite troops. From the first step into the forest, the strength of the Northern Army Group began to plummet.

She thought about retreating, but Emperor Clabran had given a death order: no Eternal Night soldier or armor was allowed to retreat even a single step.

But if this continues, the Northern Army Group will be wiped out soon.

"Alas! This old emperor really wants to force me to death!"

Xianwu slammed the table and left the meeting room without looking back, leaving a bunch of questions to the generals who looked at each other in bewilderment. She leaned against the window of the Dizang armored car with a confused look on her face and silently lit a cigarette.

"Ok?"

At this moment, she noticed a strange dark figure waving at her in the distance of the forest.

Xianwu was puzzled. That position should be very close to the enemy position, but judging from the breath and appearance, it didn't look like a daytime elf. Who could it be?

"I knew His Excellency the Marshal would come! This means you are also in trouble!"

The strange visitor turned out to be a man in a black robe and a mask. Even his magic power was hidden very well. Xianwu, who had the strength of the eighth level of Ghost King, was unable to see through the other party.

"who are you?"

Facing Xianwu's cold questioning, the other party slowly took off his mask and black robe, revealing himself to be an elegant gentleman. The twisting black shadow behind him and the mysterious demonic aura on his body proved his identity as a demon.

"Shadow Demon - Slandar. An envoy under the command of Alteros, one of the Ten Great Demon Kings of the Netherworld, who is here to offer advice to the Marshal."

He is a subordinate of Altros and a survivor of the Shadow Demon Clan. Now that the Demon Clan is reviving, Nether, who once represented the high-ranking officials of the Demon Clan, has dared to stand up and is directly participating in the war launched by the Eternal Night Empire.

"What's your plan, demon clan member?"

Xianwu gradually calmed down her hostility and began to ask seriously. Slanda smiled and said strategically:

"Where there is light, there is shadow. There is no defense in the world that the Shadow Demon cannot penetrate. Moreover, the forest in front of us can only be regarded as a natural defense. It is the elves' main battlefield. Doesn't it belong to me, the Shadow Demon?"

A dark cloud blocked the sky above the forest at some point, and the weather also changed to dark clouds and rain. The floating fortress of the underworld: the Astrology Tower is here!

The appearance of the astrological observatory was like an ancient demon cave rising from the ground. The long-sleeping demons came out in droves, casting all kinds of strange and terrifying existences into the forest below.

For a moment, haze enveloped the Azari Forest. The originally lush greenery was shrouded in desolate silence. Blood gradually spread throughout the forest, and more and more elves fell silently.

Just as Slanda said, no one can organize the infiltration ability of the shadow demons. They appear in all kinds of impossible places through the shadows of all things, and launch deadly attacks on unsuspecting elves.

"The time has come, attack!"

Xianwu received good news from all sides in the command room. She immediately gave the long-awaited attack order to the generals. The morale of the entire army was boosted. The rusty tanks, planes, and artillery all went into battle and launched a fierce attack on the forest in front of them.

"Azsari Forest has been lost, and all my rangers have been wiped out! Hasn't the support from the Sanctuary arrived yet?"

"My mage army has been basically destroyed by the Gunyan family! Regent, you should also express your opinion!"

The two leaders of the Daylight Elves looked at the battle reports with worried faces. They had clearly blocked the enemy perfectly before, but with the arrival of the demons, the situation became one-sided again. Everyone felt that the Daylight Elves' luck had run out.

In the center of the three opposing thrones was a woman in a red robe. Her wavy golden hair was as dazzling as the sun. A few balls of fire were faintly visible around her body, and the dazzling array of decorations on her body were all filled with rich magic.

She was the only one who remained unusually calm, because once the forest defense line was lost, the capital Jinyang City would be directly exposed to the sight of the Eternal Night Army.

"Why are you panicking? The demon world is so big, is there no place for me, the Daylight Spirit, to stay? Even if there is no place in the demon world, what about the heavens and myriad worlds?"

A contemptuous, idle and calm voice emanated from the woman's mouth, as if she had already come up with a perfect plan that could easily break the impasse.

She is the regent of the Kingdom of Saras: Delanzer Lise, the most core member of the three-person council and the former leader of the Royal Knights.

"Regent, I don't understand what you mean, you..."

Romansur thought about it again and again but still couldn't understand. He wanted to ask her about it but saw her get up and walk towards the door.

"Wait... where are you going? You are like this every time. What do you think of us, the future of the Daylight Elves?"

Haidolu took a step forward and stared at her with a bad look. He had long been annoyed with this woman with a strange temper.

Delanze didn't mind his unreasonableness and turned to look at the flowing map on the wall that changed with time. The holy territory that spread throughout the Demon Realm has now been compressed to less than half of the Western Continent.

“Good birds choose trees to roost in.”

After a while, she gave such an answer that shocked Romansur and Haidoru.

Haidolu's face instantly darkened, and a squirming soft thing appeared in his hand. It was covered with roots and horns and looked very disgusting.

"You finally revealed your true colors. The development of the Daylight Elves has been stagnant over the years. It turns out that it was you, a traitor, who was responsible!"

Delanze asked back, "You said that our country's problems were caused by me, what about you? Where did you get that Welanti communicator in your hand?"

"You recognize this thing? Fine! I'm going to be frank with you! That's right, the power behind me is Weilandi! I see the future in them. Only they can bring life to the dying demon world!"

As he spoke, Haidolu urged his magic power to activate the item in his hand. Before Delanze could attack, Romansur, who seemed to be in cahoots with Haidolu, took the initiative and condensed a flame magic into a fire blade, cutting off Haidolu's arm with one blow.

"what--"

Haidolu was horrified. He looked at the broken arm in disbelief, then looked at Romansur with a cold face. The other was looking at him like garbage.

Then another thunderbolt fell, and Haidoru's Welanti communicator was turned into charcoal. Romansur said:

"I'm sorry! The power behind me is more powerful than the two of you. They are from the heaven! I have endured you so much during this period of time. Now you two need to give me a definite answer! Either you pledge allegiance to the heaven! And then get their strong support! Or, die!"

As he spoke, ten balls of light lit up around him! They illuminated the room like the sun, and a powerful pressure that did not belong to the demon world came over him. This was the power of the heavens.

But Delanze was not afraid. She raised her slender hands and patted them gently a few times, and suddenly the room was filled with cold wind.

"Since I'm not acting anymore, there's no need for me to hide it."

Romansur's face changed suddenly, not because of Delanze's calmness, but because the heavenly divine power hidden in his body suddenly lost contact with him, and the divine attacks prepared around him also collapsed.

"W-what did you do?"

Haidoru, who was lying on the ground, looked gloating and sneered, "Is that all right? I've said it before, this woman is not on the same page with us, and now none of us can do anything to her!"

Delanze chuckled and said, "Haha~ As the regent, of course I have to make the most favorable decisions for my country at any time, and now the demons are the most reliable allies."

The next moment, a black shadow gathered behind Delanze, and Artros, who was shrouded in black mist, appeared. He immediately used his terrifying pressure to make Romansur and Haidolu unable to straighten their backs, and beads of sweat broke out on their faces.

Whether it is the Shadow King of the Netherworld or the Shadow Demon King of the Demon Clan, they are both notorious existences in the Sanctuary. Not only do people know their names, but they also pay close attention to their strength.

The most recent intelligence update showed that he was still at the fifth level of the Ghost King Realm, but now he has actually reached the peak of the eighth level of the Ghost King Realm, an existence that even the three people present combined cannot defeat.

"What? Why doesn't the master behind you come to rescue you at this time?" Artros spoke, and every word he uttered was about to turn into a blade and pierce into their bodies fiercely.

Haiduolu gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn demon bastard! Don't be complacent. We, the Holy Lord, will definitely come to this world and bring new life to the demon world!"

Roman Sur tried to get closer: "Wait, Your Excellency Shadow Demon King. The demons and gods have no conflict of interest. In fact, our two families can unite. There is no need to fight each other."

A flash of red appeared in Artros' eyes, and he almost laughed out of anger at him. What a traitor.

"When you said this, I guess your desire to survive must have been very strong, right?"

The final conversation between the three people just now was equivalent to the final stance and decision. Having heard everything, Altros no longer needed to say anything.

"What...wait! No, don't..."

"Altros! How dare you--"

The shadows transformed into countless roots, seeping out from every shadow in the house. All that was left in Romansur and Haidoru's sight was black.

"You were born in the demon world, but you turned away from your roots and surrendered to the foreign enemy. You deserve to die!"

Instead of killing them, Altros dragged them into a dark abyss of fear, exerting all kinds of pressure on them, slowly wearing down their minds and destroying their bodies.

Finally, he looked at Delanzer, who had retracted his contempt for his old colleague and replaced it with a serious and sincere look.

"I, the acting leader of the Daylight Elves and the regent of the Kingdom of Sarath, Delanze, hereby surrender to the demons."

As she spoke, she knelt on one knee and activated a master-servant contract on herself. Once this spell takes effect, it cannot be betrayed for the rest of her life.

Altros accepted it gladly, all of this was planned long ago, starting from the last demonstration at the Gunsmoke Family.

In fact, this regent had secretly contacted Altros long before the martial arts competition.

As she said: A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in, and all her decisions are made only for the benefit of the day elves.

At this moment, the demons are about to rise, and she chooses to deny her ancestors' decision to leave the demons and return to the demon family.

Altros smiled with satisfaction. He turned into billowing black smoke and gradually dissipated, but his eerie laughter echoed throughout the palace for a long time.

In fact, there is another clause in the contract between the two of them, which is: the Daylight Elf will only subdue the Demons, not the Eternal Night Empire.

This was indeed the case. One day later, the Eternal Night Empire broke through all defense lines in an instant, and the army marched straight to the outskirts of Jinyang City. The city had already been in chaos, and the people had no time to escape. The leaderless army was also in disarray, and the communication between the generals on all sides and the palace was completely cut off.

It was not until very late that some generals broke into the palace collectively, ready to question the three-member council.

But what was in front of them were two pitch-black crosses stuck in the center of the palace hall, with two corpses tortured by shadows tied to them that looked like no human beings. They were the Grand Mage Romansur and the Ranger Commander Haidoru Guangyi, while the Regent Dranze was missing.

At the same time, Delanze brought some special tribesmen and gathered in an orchard in the south of the city. She set up countless obstacles on the periphery. She did not allow anyone, including other tribesmen, to get close to here. In the deepest part of the orchard, there was an area that was inconsistent with the spring-filled orchard style.

There was a pitch-black gate there, with void energy constantly leaking out from it, and all kinds of indescribable distorted things on the edges.

"Please, wise and sensible, the new king of the daylight elves."

Yashanlanli's clone appeared here, flanked by the Shadow King and the Spirit Prayer King. As the Demon Lord and the Queen of the Underworld, she had to personally welcome the Day Elves who had returned to the Demon Clan.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Demon Lord."

Facing the former Demon Lord, the present Queen, and the future First Demon Sect Leader, Delanze waved her hand, and she and all the elves knelt down in submission.

Behind her was one-tenth of the population of Jinyang City, a group of elves that she had spent a year investigating and selecting who, like her, were devoted to the demon clan.

"Get up, fellow countrymen. We were one family thousands of years ago. Today, I, the Black Sheep Demon Lord, Yashan Lanli, welcome you all home on behalf of the demon clan. Soon you will all know how correct your decision today was!"
