The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

"Hint: You listened to the pre-war speech of the Devil Queen Gracia, and your group was inspired by joy and enthusiasm.

Your strength (temporary +1);

Your will, toughness, and resistance have all been slightly improved..."

…

Feeling the aura effect flowing slightly in the body.

Matthew cast an "awesome" expression to Carmela-

This divine art simulation effect that is so realistic that it can even deceive the group aura of the devil lord. Did he really think that the two of them are devil soldiers?

This change in judgment is the deepest content of the field, almost involving the level of laws.

From this point of view.

Carmela's strength is undoubtedly comparable to that of a legend!

Different from the enthusiasm and excitement deliberately played by Matthew and Carmela.

Most of the devils around them became passionate under the encouragement of Gracia.

The next second.

Gracia's wings spread behind her.

Under the attention of the crowd.

She flew lightly to a deliberately reserved open space under the castle bridge that led in all directions.

The Devil Queen grabbed the air with one hand -

A glass body flashing with azure fluorescence instantly took shape.

At first.

It was just a thin portal.

But soon it turned into a translucent sphere.

In every direction facing the huge sphere, a large amount of mysterious blasphemous words flowed.

"Strategic-level teleportation sphere."

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

As a wizard, he was certainly not unfamiliar with this.

The teleportation sphere is a higher-level version of the portal.

It is equivalent to six, eight or even more portals stacked together, but the effect is not discounted, and they do not affect each other, and can meet the needs of teleporting a number of creatures entering from multiple directions at the same time.

This thing is also one of the elective courses of the legendary necromancer.

But in comparison.

The devil lord of Purgatory did the best in localizing this spell, which is also closely related to the devils' expertise in marching and fighting.

As expected.

As soon as the magic ball appeared, the previously inspired devil soldiers, led by the legion commanders and centurions, walked towards the magic ball in an orderly manner.

The first one to enter the magic ball.

It was a very burly Purgatory War Beast.

The war beast had eight legs and two heads, and four tails like steel chain saws. On its back, it not only carried dozens of fully armed devil archers, crossbowmen and quasi-mages, but also erected a giant battle flag.

The battle flag was blood red.

Matthew saw at a glance that it was the body of the flag of conscription!

"Follow me, fight for me!"

The Purgatory War Beast came to the front of the magic ball, and after taking a step forward, its entire body and the devils on its back disappeared cleanly like a whale sucking water.

Then.

A huge phantom appeared above the magic ball.

The command issued by the phantom was obviously not more appealing than the queen of the devil.

But his appearance obviously dispelled the doubts of many middle and high-level devils in the castle.

After the phantom disappeared.

All senior officials no longer hesitated and ordered all their soldiers to rush to the front line behind the magic ball.

So.

A vigorous march began inside the castle.

"The phantom just now is the Phantom Baron.

He is not in the castle himself. The reason he showed up is that he is worried that the Queen of Devil can't handle the other devils in the castle alone.

Obviously, his worry is unnecessary.

Although the devils are only responsible to their direct superiors, the Queen of Devil is obviously an exception.

She is very bad.

But she is too good at controlling devils..."

Matthew heard the explanation of the little wolf in his ears.

His expression was a little strange.

Not long after.

He and Carmela, swept by the torrent of the devil army, crossed the teleportation magic ball in just one step and arrived at a space where matter was not so stable!

"Well, I'm back again after a long journey..."

A subtle color flashed in Matthew's eyes.

Of course, he had expected that the destination of Gracia's army was probably the tearing plane.

After all, the other party mentioned Beckman in his pre-war speech.

Thinking of the Phantom Baron who was on the front line at this time.

The destination of the devil army was almost an obvious answer.

So Matthew just thought it was a bit of a coincidence.

"It seems that we underestimated the intensity of this conflict."

"I thought the war would only spread to the level of Phantom Baron, Air Element King and Beckman, but I didn't expect Gracia to force a war at this juncture..."

"Is she really not afraid of being seriously injured or having a fire in the backyard?"

Matthew shared his doubts with Carmela.

Carmela seemed very calm about this:

"If you rule out all possibilities, then the remaining result, no matter how absurd it is, is the truth."

"The fact is that she started this war, and she was determined and seemed full of confidence."

Matthew pursed his lips:

"Does it mean that she is arrogant?"

Carmela nodded:

"I don't rule out this possibility."

"Don't think that the devil is good at playing with people's hearts. In fact, they are also difficult to control themselves."

"The law of devils is based on forced restraints, and outside of these restraints, where there are invisible soft spots, they will be more unscrupulous than other creatures."

"Their inner desires are in violent conflict with the mandatory rules, which will cause them to do unpredictable things after falling into madness."

"In terms of the absolute value of madness, the devil is far inferior to the devil; but at the extreme peak, the devil's lord may be even better..."

Matthew shrugged:

"I hope so."

If Gracia does expand, his chances will undoubtedly increase a lot.

But he won't think about the enemy simply yet.

And what happened next seemed to confirm Matthew's view.

On the second level of the tear plane.

The devil army they belonged to successfully arrived in a hilly area.

Below the hills is an endless plain.

Half of a castle stands abruptly on the plain——

The remaining half of the castle is completely hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to capture it with the naked eye.

The devil's army was obviously heading towards the castle to surround them.

But what concerned Matthew even more was this.

During the march, he actually discovered a large amount of air elements on the flanks of the devil's army!

These air elements did not come up to fight the demon army like Matthew had seen before.

Although they appear to be indifferent and even a little hostile.

But the air elements are also marching.

And their marching direction is also towards the castle!

The armies of the two major races kept a certain distance and marched separately without any friction.

This obviously can't be an accident.

"The air element and the devil are pretending to fight."

"On the surface, they were fighting each other and mobilizing their own troops. In fact, as soon as the main army arrived, both sides immediately turned their guns and headed towards the core of the shadow where Beckmann was!"

Look at it from this perspective.

Gracia's campaign to tear apart the plane was not a spur of the moment, but a decision made after careful consideration.

She enlisted the air elemental as an ally.

The master of the torn plane, Beckman, became the target of the alliance between the devil and the air element.

soon.

A large number of coalition forces surrounded half of the castle from different angles.

By now Matthew had already seen it.

The castle in front of him is the gate of the tomb that Beckman built for himself.

Behind the gate is the connection between the second layer of space and the shadow core.

It should be a half-shadow, half-material space.

That space is extremely large and complex.

Even Matthew couldn't detect the end of that space simply by relying on his mental perception from outside.

He just felt that it contained a large number of mazes and traps unique to the shadow plane.

Matthew did not sense Beckmann's aura immediately.

This may be because the Lord of Darkness is good at hiding himself.

It is also possible that He simply hid in the core of the shadow and did not confront the devil alliance head-on.

anyway.

The scene before him made Matthew feel slightly worried——

During the march.

He hasn't found a chance to get close to Gracia yet.

After all, the other party is a superior lord.

Being able to get close to Gracia.

Either they are the escort team of the Queen of Desire, or they are devils in the middle and upper levels.

Even if the miscellaneous soldiers played by Matthew and Carmela intentionally approached, they were kept at a safe enough distance.

at this distance.

Even if the three thieves were released, it would be difficult for them to have room to perform.

Matthew knew it.

Opportunities have to wait.

However, if the strength of the two sides in this war is not equal and the devil's side is one-sided, then the chance Matthew wants to wait for will become extremely slim.

Seeing that the vanguard of the coalition forces had begun to attack the gate of the castle.

Matthew even began to consider whether to secretly help Beckmann!

Fortunately it didn't take long.

There was finally movement in the castle.

A strange sound like the chewing of beasts came from the shadows.

After a few seconds.

A large number of shadow creatures jumped out from the gaps in the city wall.

They attacked the devil and the air element without fear of death.

In just a few minutes, they relied on their numerical superiority to force the coalition's vanguard to retreat.

at the same time.

Matthew also discovered more shadow creatures jumping out of shadow nodes across the plains.

Most of these shadow creatures are not in humanoid form, but in the form of beasts such as shadow dogs, shadow wolves, and shadow tigers.

Although compared to distant relatives who possess physical entities.

Shadow beasts are much weaker in combat.

But the shadow creatures had an absolute numerical advantage in local areas.

Secondly, their appearance is so sudden that it is completely difficult for the enemy to guard against them.

So it didn't take long.

The vanguard unit responsible for ramming the gate quickly evacuated.

A large buffer zone was left outside the castle.

Some shadow beasts still want to pursue forward.

As a result, he was beaten head-on by the equally well-prepared devils and air elements.

It didn't take long for it to turn into shadow fragments and dissolve between the sky and the earth.

See this scene.

The roar of wild beasts was heard again in the castle.

The shadow creatures who wanted to pursue them dug up the soil a few times and retreated under the city wall unwillingly.

So far.

The two sides returned to a state of confrontation.

Matthew's heart was finally relieved:

"I said it, the legendary Lord of Darkness, how could he be unprepared..."

He was eagerly looking forward to the two sides fighting evenly.

It would be best if both sides were injured!

A moment later.

A purgatory war beast jumped out of the formation and came to the front of the castle.

Only the Queen of Lust sat on the war beast.

There were two figures floating on her left and right, namely the Phantom Baron and a certain Lord of Air Element.

As for the King of Air Element.

Matthew did not recognize him, probably because he was an old shaman hiding in the crowd.

"You've crossed the line, Xiao Ge."

A feminine and pleasant male voice floated over from the shadows deep in the castle:

"I thought you just wanted some candy from me, but I didn't expect you wanted my life."

"The irony is, do you really think you can do it?"

"This is something that your father Barto couldn't do at the beginning..."

Greshia's scarlet eyes stared at somewhere in the shadows, her voice was as beautiful as the sound of nature, but her tone was indescribably domineering and resolute:

"You know why I'm here, Beckman."

"Hand over my father's horn, and I'll leave immediately!"

Beckman's voice was filled with a playful smile:

"You called me uncle at the beginning, Xiao Ge."

"Do you think I will believe you? Maybe if I hand over the horn, you will leave, but the remaining demons and the helpers you invited will still rush in and turn my territory into ruins. Am I right?"

Greshia said coldly:

"We can sign a contract, and the specific content can be discussed."

"But my father's horn is the premise of all this."

"It was originally my father's remains, and it should return to my hands."

Beckman laughed:

"My little Ge, have you forgotten?"

"This horn was handed to me by your father himself, and he also told me not to give it to you, otherwise you can go to the Bridge of All Beings to ask?"

Greshia responded without hesitation:

"Obviously, you lied."

"My father would never give the horn to you. If someone really said that, then he would definitely not be my father."

Beckman sighed after hearing this:

"Sure enough, he is the most outstanding devil."

"You are so shameless now, and your father is not much different from him."

"I can't give you the horn."

"There is no need for dialogue between you and me, so why not just do it!"

The Lord of Darkness showed unusual toughness.

Gracia sneered:

"Do you think the gods of Tongluo can support you?"

"Do you think Gai Lan will sincerely help you to achieve transcendence?"

"Do you really think you can replicate the "Blood Meteor" incident in Purgatory?"

"Uncle Beckman, you are so naive that you don't look like a local overlord who has lived for thousands of years. Instead, you look like a desperate gambler who is at the end of his rope."

"Come on, let me see who your helpers are-"

"Half-dead Gai Lan?"

"The lingering Gasliwen?"

"Babasha is dying because of a little wizard who is not even a legend?"

"Who among them can withstand my blasphemous words?"

The next second.

The sky fire as terrifying as a giant waterfall suddenly appeared above the castle!

At the same time.

A group of figures dressed as wizards also quietly appeared on the walls of the Shadow Castle.

...
