Chapter 268 Cunning, Counterplot

When the Demon Eye was found and dealt with by the angel, Roy realized that the angels might have sensed his demonic aura.

Therefore, in order to prevent the other Demon Eyes from being discovered, Roy simply withdrew all of them back.

To Roy, the reverted T-Virus was a pleasant surprise. After watching the holy spells of the priests fail to take effect on the T-Virus, Roy realized that the T-Virus was still so powerful. At least, it could not be eliminated by conventional means. In addition, judging from the performance of the mutants, they were probably stronger than the lickers in the movies. This might be due to the physiques of the non-human special races in the Ashan world.

So far, the T-Virus had infected many soldiers, such as gremlins, mages, nagas, and elven rangers. And the resulting mutants were progressively stronger. Perhaps after a while, the T-Virus might be able to affect those green dragons and titans with formidable physiques. But it seemed like the alliance army might have thought of this and had actually withdrawn from the fortress in an orderly manner, making Roy feel regretful.

“Are we going to attack?” Julia asked Roy after seeing the changes in Dendera Fortress from afar.

Roy was weighing the pros and cons. It was definitely a good thing for the alliance army to come out of the fortress. Without the support of the city wall and the help of the defense equipment, the threat of the entire alliance army undoubtedly decreased by half. In addition, Roy’s T-Virus had wreaked havoc in the city, causing many soldiers to die. It could be said that Roy had already achieved the goal of weakening the alliance army.

However, due to the special nature of the troops of the kingdom of Bracada, there was still a considerable number of puppet creatures in their army. Those stone gargoyles and iron golems were hindrances, and there were a lot of them. It would not be worthwhile to waste firepower on them during the battle. In addition, from Roy’s observations, there were more than a hundred titans and about forty green dragons and emerald dragons in the alliance army. Alaric’s arrival brought nearly five hundred priests and twenty angel soldiers to the alliance army. The number of these high-level mythical creatures seemed to be a little too much, and they would be great trouble when fighting.

Giovanni spoke up at this moment. “Your Excellency Osiris, perhaps we can defeat Arantir’s troops first. You should be able to see that Arantir’s troops have a huge misunderstanding with the alliance army, and their armies are now very far apart. If we attack Arantir’s troops first, the stupid mages of Bracada will definitely choose to watch the show…”

Roy nodded. After two days of investigating with the Demon Eyes, he had confirmed the conflict between the alliance army and Arantir, which was indeed something he could use.

“Okay, let’s defeat Arantir first!” Roy nodded.

Next, Cassandra led the undead army out, and Roy, Julia, Fat Tiger, and Giovanni followed closely behind.

However, before they could go far, a voice suddenly echoed in the forest. “Osiris, if I were you, I wouldn’t be so rash!”

“Who?!” As soon as Julia heard this voice, she immediately drew her sword and frowned in vigilance.

On the other hand, Roy felt that this voice was a little familiar. After thinking about it, he probed, “Benia?”

With a soft whoosh, a group of flames appeared in front of Roy. The flames flashed away, and then a succubus with demonic aura appeared!

“It’s really you!” Looking at Benia, Roy could not help but frown. “How did you find us?”

“Hehehe!” Benia laughed sensually. She walked to Roy’s side and stretched out her hand to touch Roy’s strong chest muscles while lifting a thigh to rub against Roy’s leg. She said bitterly, “Osiris, why can’t your words be trusted? When I invited you to come to this world together, you rejected me, but then you turned around and came here yourself. Why did you go back on your words and chase after me here?”

As soon as Benia finished speaking, she suddenly screamed, and her entire body was pulled away from Roy by a force. She turned around and found that it was Julia!

Julia grabbed Benia’s demon tail and dragged her over. At the same time, she placed the tip of her fallen angelic sword on Benia’s tail and said coldly, “Watch your actions, succubus! Or else I’ll cut it!”

“Darling!” Benia licked her lips and walked to Julia’s side with shining eyes. She hugged Julia’s arm, pressed her chest against her tightly, and smiled seductively. “You can do whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if you’re a bit rough…”

Julia shivered and remembered that Benia was the type that did not mind either at all. She immediately threw away her tail, shook off her hug, and took a few steps back.

Roy frowned and pointed a finger at Benia. His powerful Psychokinesis immediately imprisoned her body, preventing her from moving. “I’ll give you one last chance to answer my question. How did you find us? If you dare to use this method to avoid answering again, I will kill you immediately!” Feeling the murderous aura in Roy’s tone, Benia realized that he was not joking, so she stopped messing around and said, “Don’t worry. Your current location hasn’t been exposed. I have a treasure in my hand. When I first came to this world, I killed a seer and obtained it. It’s called the Missing Person Stick, and it can roughly tell me the direction of the person I’m looking for. By relying on it, I found you!”

“Treasure?” Roy was a little convinced. He knew that there were indeed many amazing magic items in this world.

“Why are you looking for us?” Julia asked angrily. “Didn’t you come to this world to seek revenge on your sister?”

“It’s a pity!” Benia gritted her teeth. “In fact, I’ve already found her, but I couldn’t defeat her. Instead, I was captured and imprisoned by her. Fortunately, I thought of a way and finally escaped. I also learned that she sent Archbishop Alaric to find a demon and a fallen angel. I guessed that it was most likely you, so I transformed into a priest, mixed into Alaric’s priests, and followed him to Aglan Fortress. After receiving the request for help from Dendera Fortress, I followed him to

it!”

“Wait… Wait. You stayed among the priests?!” Giovanni was in disbelief. “Didn’t any of the angels recognize you?!”

“Tch, vampire…” Benia slanted her eyes and glanced at him disdainfully. But she still replied proudly, “Don’t underestimate the metamorphosis ability of a high-rank succubus!”

After being interrupted by Giovanni, Roy suddenly realized the hidden implication in Benia’s words and frowned. “You said that your sister… sent Archbishop Alaric??? What does this mean?”

“It means what you’re thinking!” Benia giggled. “As for why she has such authority, it’s because my sister is now Queen Isabel of Erathia!”

“Wh-what?” Giovanni’s eyes almost popped out. “Queen Isabel is your sister?! She is… a succubus?!”

“That’s right!” Benia looked at Roy and smiled. “You can simply understand it as a demon scheme…” “…” There was a lot of information, and Roy did not know what to say for a moment. But he also understood why Arantir wanted to go to Erathia. He was probably already suspecting Isabel’s true identity. This intuition was simply terrifying.

After thinking about it, Roy asked, “What do you mean by telling us not to be so rash?”

“It’s very simple! You’re being fooled!” Benia said seriously. “I just came out from the alliance army and found some strange situations. On the surface, the location where the alliance army stationed after leaving the city is about two to three kilometers from Arantir’s undead army. But in fact, Arantir’s undead army is completely empty!”

“What?” Julia’s expression changed when she heard this. She hurriedly flew into the air and looked in the direction of the distant fortress. But after a while, she asked doubtfully, “No, Arantir’s troops are still in the same place!”

“That’s magic, very special magic!” Benia pointed at her eyes. “This spell is called ‘Phantom Forces’! It should be that old guy Astral’s proud skill. In your eyes, it may be very real, but we succubi are very proficient in illusion magic, and I can easily see through this illusion. I can tell you with certainty that the current Arantir army is just a group of light and shadows, without any physical existences! This is a deception. Don’t underestimate the heroes of this world. Those old fellows have been fighting for many years, and their minds are even more cunning than demons’. They may have been overwhelmed by the plague you created, Osiris, but they are also plotting to strike back!”

“Really?” Roy looked deeply at Benia and then flew into the air. Through his Radiation Perception, he looked at Arantir’s undead army.

Sure enough, the location of Arantir’s undead army had a certain amount of radiation sources in Roy’s vision. But after Benia’s reminder, Roy realized that the energy of these radiation sources was a bit small, probably caused by the light and shadow magic.

But where is Arantir’s true army? Roy started searching.

In the end, he found that the ground slightly more in front was emanating an abnormal radiation source and occupied a large area.

Therefore, Roy immediately understood that Arantir’s undead army might have snuck underground to hide! If it were any other race, they might not have been able to do this. But for undead that did not have any life and did not need to breathe, sneaking underground was completely normal …

If the positions of the alliance army, the phantom undead army, and the true undead army were represented by 1, 2, and 3, then the alliance army’s position was at 1, and the true undead army was at 3. In other words, if Roy really fell for the trap and launched an attack at position 2, the phantom undead army, then it was very likely that he would be pincered by the alliance army and Arantir!

This stratagem was truly impressive. Roy did not even know how Astral and Arantir, these cunning old guys, were able to reach an agreement and communicate to arrange such a trap. Although this trap might not necessarily kill Roy, he did not deny that it would indeed cause him immense trouble…

“Very good, Benia, I accept this proof of allegiance!” Roy released the restraint of his Psychokinesis on Benia and let her land. “I promise you that after defeating the alliance army, I will help you to get revenge on your sister!”

“The contract is established!” Benia giggled and asked, “So now, how do you plan on defeating these guys?” “Is there a need to say that?” A dim light flashed in Roy’s eyes. Pentagrams appeared in his pupils as he grinned sinisterly. “Since those bone drags want to hide underground, then they can stay underground forever!”

With that, a large black shadow suddenly appeared under Roy’s feet. This shadow quickly spread out and rapidly covered the surface of the nearby forest. Then a strange scene appeared. All the tall trees and huge rocks on the ground seemed to be sinking into quicksand as they slowly sank into this endless shadow…

“Black Hole…”
