Witch Monastery

The shadow paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "No need to do that, Shapiro, just eliminate Monbot first and accumulate some reputation for yourself."

"As for what I need you to do... don't worry, just wait until you've finished this, then do it."

Compared to Shapiro's sensitivity and suspicion, this ancestor seemed to be indifferent. She only cared whether things could be completed smoothly, and didn't care about the details such as whose surname he pretended to be or who he reached a cooperation with.

Shapiro raised his head and asked cautiously, "Ancestor, what is the matter?"

"Besides you, there are other people alive in my bloodline." The shadow said, but what he said surprised Shapiro. "They are in the South Port area, and one of them has even awakened the power in her bloodline."

"Shapiro, after destroying the Abyss Lord, you have to find them. The two of them will be the key to reviving our bloodline!"

Shapiro looked up, his eyes flashing with surprise. And then, that light turned into a blazing fire of ambition.

Chapter 373 Succubus Queen?

Several more days passed.

On this day, a little snow fell in the mountains. The snow was not heavy, just a thin layer, as if it was a light makeup for the mountains, but it was enough to make Hawthorne happy and make the good people alert and fearful.

For them, snow is often associated with the painful memories of people freezing to death.

At this time, in the new headquarters of the Mountain Cleaners Alliance, in Annuo's private account room.

Sitting on a simple wooden chair, the Paladin girl put down the communication stone in her hand, her pretty face full of fatigue.

Behind her, Hawthorne stepped forward, leaned over and hugged her delicate body, and asked softly, "What did the Black Rod Tower say?"

An Nuo curled his lips. "What else can I say? They said I did a good job and asked me to be the liaison ambassador between the Mountain Cleaners Alliance and the Dwarf Mining Group, responsible for communicating with the leaders of these two forces."

Huo Sang smiled softly when he heard this: "Isn't this a good thing? My An Nuo is now also a powerful leader."

An Nuo curled his lips repeatedly when he heard this, feeling very unhappy: "What's good about that? I'm a Paladin, and my mission is to fight and destroy demons. I came here to unite more people and destroy demons together."

"Now, as a result, I have turned myself into a mouthpiece for anyone, and I can't do the things I want to do most."

She was full of complaints, and Huo Sang hugged her again and comforted her softly, "This job is not something that anyone can do. If someone else comes, they really can't control those leaders of the Mountain Cleansers Alliance. Do you believe it?"

"We really have to do this. We are special. It won't work if someone else does it."

Hearing his comfort, An Nuo lowered his arms and showed a helpless smile: "That's true... But I still want to go out and kill the demons. I'm in my prime now, and I don't want to sit here all day."

Hawthorne stroked her hair gently and said softly, "There will be a chance. This is a stronghold deep in the mountains. The Black Rod Tower will not give up this place and will definitely send troops to station here as soon as possible."

"When that time comes, it will be a good opportunity for us to show our skills."

It would have been fine if he didn't say it. As soon as he said this, Annuo's face suddenly became a little depressed.

"The Black Staff Tower won't send too many people. The Gray Hand doesn't have enough manpower. They will send us at most 120 people, a company." She said, "But they have reached an agreement with a hobgoblin warlord named Kramer. That guy will bring his team, a total of about 400 people."

"It is said that this team is full of hobgoblins, bugbears, orcs, goblins, and even tyrants and ogres..." The more she spoke, the more resentful she became. "A ragtag, ragtag army!"

Hearing this, even Huo Sang couldn't maintain his expression. After a moment, he sighed: "It's better than nothing. At this time, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, so it's not surprising to see this situation."

An Nuo sighed: "I hope they can play a positive role in the end, and not start a fight with our own people as soon as they come here."

Hawthorne had a similar idea in his mind, mainly, fighting a war cannot be judged solely by the number of people, but also by the quality of the soldiers, their weapons and equipment, and so on.

Just like the battle nuns under Hawthorne, equipped with the blue dragons' ion beam launchers, they can fire tons of AOE on the battlefield. Although the number is not large, the effect can definitely be regarded as one against a hundred.

And this so-called hobgoblin warlord has raised a ragtag army...

It's hard to say.

Optimistically speaking, they might have a regular army of 400 men of this era, which is the average combat effectiveness;

If we take a pessimistic view, they might not be able to defeat even the 100 people sent by the Black Rod Tower.

But there is no other way. The current situation is difficult and in many places, we can only endure and make do.

Huo Sang was thinking about this in his heart and was about to say something to comfort him, but his expression suddenly changed and then he looked happy: "Die and the others are here!"

After waiting for so long, Die finally arrived with the combat nuns!

……

Outside the camp of the Mountain Cleaners Alliance, Die, a girl with straight black hair and black eyes and a gentle face, was standing in the cleared snow with a group of combat nuns, waiting silently.

The thick black nun robes they wore, embroidered with simple lines of different colors, were in stark contrast to the pure white ground here. Their hair color was similar to the white of the snow, and at first glance, it looked neat and tidy, with an indescribable beauty.

Hawthorne and Celine came out of the camp and saw the familiar figure, their faces could not help but be happy. If Die was not wearing a dark nun's robe at the moment, her temperament would really be the same as some of the ladies he knew in his previous life, and people could not help but be obsessed with her when they saw her.

Huo Sang walked up quickly, took her hand, and said softly, "You've had a hard time along the way. Did you encounter any danger?"

Die shook her head slightly: "We met a group of adventurers who took the initiative to act as flower protectors, so overall there was no danger and everything went smoothly."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Hawthorne's face. Her eyes and tone were extremely gentle: "Lord...Father, how about you? Is everything going well here?"

In front of the nuns, she couldn't call him master directly.

Hawthorne nodded: "Of course, everything is going well here, just waiting for you to come."

After saying that, he led the nuns into the camp of the satyrs. There was a clean open space already vacated here for them to set up camp.

Although there were only less than twenty people, the nuns' uniform hair color and beautiful faces still caused a commotion in the camp, attracting many mountain people to sneak a peek. Each of them had a fiery expression, and no one knew what they were thinking.

After settling the girls, he took Die back to his private tent, and then released Ines's remaining soul from the ring: "Look, this guy is the main reason why I called you here this time."

"The situation was too urgent at the time. I had no choice but to burn her to death. The price was that only this much of her soul was left. It was no longer possible to have a normal conversation."

"But I want to get some information out of her, so, Die, do you have any way to read her memory and get some information?"

In his tone

With anticipation, Die's expression became a little serious when he heard this.

"I can give it a try," she said, "but I can't guarantee how much I can dig out. After all, her soul is already like this, and many parts may be damaged."

Hawthorne breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, as long as there is a way. Well, if you can do it, let's first find out who her owner is and make sure whether she is Monport's undercover."

Die then reached out her hand, applied her magic power, and touched Inès' soul. Instantly, the succubus' soul trembled, as if it was in danger of dissipating at any time.

But her skills were so sophisticated that upon seeing this, she also reached out with her other hand, her palm gleaming with a warm light that enveloped Inès' soul, preventing it from dissipating.

After doing this, she closed her eyes and began to slowly read the memories.

After a moment, her eyes suddenly opened, and her expression became quite complicated.

On the side, Hawthorne quickly leaned over and asked, "How is it? What's the result?"

"Hmm..." Die weighed her words, "Say she was a spy planted by Monport. That's true, but it's also not true."

"Yes, because she was indeed lurking in the Mountain Cleansers Alliance because of Monbot's arrangement. But no, because from the very beginning, she was actually a spy planted by another demon lord next to Monbot."

Hawthorne was stunned: "Who is so far-sighted? Wait, could it be that..."

Die nodded gently: "Yes, it's the succubus queen."

Hawthorne subconsciously clenched his hands, his palms were already covered with sweat.

what happened……

How come these mid-to-late stage BOSSes pop up one after another when I’m in the Daqian period where I’m not even at level 10?

That's the Succubus Queen...

Chapter 374 Balor Flame Demon? !

The Succubus Queen, Mecanthust, may not be that strong in her own right, but she possesses a vast network of relationships and intelligence. She can mobilize countless resources and forces with just a flick of her finger to unite and wipe out her enemies. She is a cunning demon lord who is both famous and infamous.

And Ines was actually the undercover agent she had personally placed next to Mompot. This...

He couldn't help scratching the back of his head, thinking to himself, what kind of luck do I have? How did I suddenly offend such a big shot?

“Forget it, let’s not worry about it for now.” He then shook his head and said, “The Succubus Queen is far away in the Abyss. We can’t reach her for the time being. We’ll talk about these things later.”

"Die, check what information Ines passed on to Monbot and how much intelligence we have leaked to the demon lord."

Die closed her eyes upon hearing this and continued to use her innate magical abilities. After a moment, she opened her eyes again with a somewhat subtle expression: "Almost... I think it has all been revealed."

Hawthorne had a bad feeling: "What do you mean?"

"That's right. Almost all the information." Die stretched out her two little hands, gesturing in the air while explaining, "Including the geographical location of the new camp, the surrounding terrain, the remaining personnel, the number of strong men, various sentries, and so on and so forth..."

"And Monpot obviously trusts her very much. He said she did a good job and that it would soon bring its own large army to personally massacre the camp..."

"Oh, yes. If Ines's information is correct, there are already giant bull demons and Balrog demons in Monbot's army..."

Hawthorne's blood pressure suddenly shot up: "This... Damn it, no, we have to leave quickly!"

He immediately stood up and wanted to call his beloved ones, betray the so-called alliance, and leave with his soldiers.

Betrayal is fine, he doesn't want to face Monbot right now. He is a powerful Abyss Lord anyway, not to mention that he has summoned the Balrog!

The Balrog with a challenge level of 20, who can fly and fight, is about four challenge levels higher than Celine at the current level. They are simply not capable of fighting against him at their current level!

Not to mention the giant bull demons of challenge level seventeen. Apart from being unable to fly, these guys are all terrifyingly powerful warriors who are as powerful as Celine, and there is no telling how many there are!

It is conceivable that when such a large army of demons rushes over in an overwhelming manner, the current strength of the Mountain Cleansers Alliance will be unable to resist it and will inevitably collapse in an instant!

Die raised her head and looked at him worriedly. Hawthorne took two deep breaths and suppressed his excitement before sitting down again. He then asked, "What did Ines send to Mecanthus? How does the Succubus Queen plan to treat Monbot?"

"Behead him? Or keep him as a dog?"

Die closed her eyes for the third time, searching for information inside. Suddenly, she frowned, as if she had seen a lot of information that she didn't want to see.

Hawthorne waited nervously. After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and said, "Mekanxiut seems to feel that Monport has made too much money this time, and he needs to be dealt a little blow."

"So, she asked several other succubus spies under Inès to send out the exact location of Monbot in real time through the cultists' special channels, in order to trick the Libel Port side into killing the demon lord as soon as possible."

Hawthorne's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is there any way

Contact this channel? Let's also monitor the specific location of Mompot. "

Die still frowned. "Ines' memory doesn't seem to contain relevant information. It may have been lost. I didn't find it. I only read that they were transmitting this information to certain people, especially the hunting team newly organized in Liber Port."

Hawthorne touched his chin and thought to himself, if that’s the case, then the reason why the team organized by the Golden Dragon Bank last time was able to find Mombot’s location so quickly was because the Succubus Queen was helping them?

It's a pity that they were too weak and couldn't kill Mompot in one go, tsk...

Then I will talk to Annuo about this matter, and Annuo will ask the higher-ups of the Black Rod Tower, and then the higher-ups will ask the decapitation organization this time, whether we can also get the real-time location information of Mompot and arrange evacuation as soon as possible?

Oh, I hope everything is still in time...

Thinking of this, he rubbed Die's hair, said "thank you for your hard work", then turned and ran straight to Annuo's tent.

Here, Annuo was still worried about the arrangements made by her superiors, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed as if they would never relax.

Hawthorne came up from behind and hugged her soft body, then whispered, "Dear, can you talk to the higher-ups of your Black Rod Tower and share the coordinates of Monbot with us?"

An Nuo turned his head immediately, looking surprised: "The top leaders of the Black Rod Tower know the exact location of Monbot? How come I don't know about this?"

Hawthorne forced a smile and said, "I just heard that the team hunting Monbot knows his exact location. I guess there must be some special channel monitoring him."

"I think the higher-ups at the Black Rod Tower should also have this information, so I wanted to ask."

An Nuo nodded slightly, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "You also want to participate and kill this Abyss Lord?"

Hawthorne shook his head firmly: "Of course not, I want to deliberately avoid his route of action to avoid unnecessary losses."

Hearing this, the girl's face suddenly fell: "Have some courage, Hawthorne, he is ravaging the lives of the mountains. It is everyone's responsibility to eliminate the devil!"

Huo Sang reached out and gently pinched her cheek: "Then I have to cherish my own life first. Wake up, An Nuo. What strength do you and I have? Do you think you can challenge the army of the Abyss Lord at this level?"

"We just need to wait for the decapitation team to eliminate Mombot, and then wipe out the remaining members. We should leave such heroic deeds to the great heroes, and we will not get involved."

An Nuo lowered his head, unhappy: "I am still too weak and powerless, otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't have left me here to be a mouthpiece for anyone to use..."

Huo Sang put his hands down dishonestly and began to pinch her breasts through her clothes: "I've already said that the job we are doing now is obviously very important. If someone else comes, they really can't control these monsters in the Mountain Cleaners..."

An Nuo did not resist, and let him comfort her while kneading her breasts, while muttering to herself: "I'll report to my superiors about Monbot's location. Oh, I really want to go into battle and kill the demons..."

Chapter 375 An unexpected storm

The next day, the troops of the Black Rod Tower and the mercenaries they contacted arrived at the headquarters of the Mountain Cleaners Alliance almost one after the other. The former were few in number, well-organized, well-equipped, and strictly disciplined, and they brought their own dry food and did not need any additional supplies.

The latter is a huge group, with a mixed bag of races such as hobgoblins, goblins, orcs, poor discipline, and cobbled-together equipment. There are also big eaters like ogres, each of whom is likely to cause a lot of trouble at any time.

However, these two contrasting groups received completely different treatments in the Mountain Cleaners Alliance: the mountain people could not help but treat the Black Rod Tower team, which was small, elite and did not cause trouble, with a cold eye; but they responded to the mob with great enthusiasm and treated them like their own family members.

Huo Sang saw all these different treatments. He couldn't help but feel deeply: the conflict between the two sides could not be resolved by a mere covenant. The mountain cleaners still regarded fellow mountain dwellers as their own people, and they were still somewhat repulsive to Libel Port.

If we want to resolve the rift between the two sides, we may have to continue to have in-depth contact for several more years.

As for now?

Just cooperate for now. It won’t be too late to find a solution to the remaining problems after the demons are eliminated.

This is what he was thinking, and he just hoped that there would be no more friction between the two parties during the period of cooperation.
