Necromancer: A New Era

In the ancient Tumubao, the towering fortress that once symbolized the tenacious resistance of humans to the invasion of the beastmen has now become a springboard for the beastmen to conquer humans. Over the years, every brick and stone of the fortress is engraved with the changes of history.

Deep in the fortress, in the dim and solemn meeting hall, a temporary throne stood tall. At this moment, the orc king was sitting on it quietly, with his legs crossed, immersed in deep practice. He was surrounded by an indescribable powerful aura, which was the power of the peak sanctuary, surging silently.

This force was so strong that the surrounding space seemed to be affected and began to flicker. The air was like a transparent surface of water being stirred, and layers of fine ripples continued to spread. On the face of the orc king, black lines were looming, as if ancient runes were telling unknown secrets.

At this moment, a figure slowly appeared at the door of the meeting hall. It was the priest of the fox tribe. He was hunched over, holding a beautifully carved scepter in his hand. Although his steps were slow, each step seemed steady and powerful. There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face were the marks of time and wisdom.

The priest walked up to the orc king and spoke in a low and slow voice: "Your Majesty, shouldn't we take this opportunity to launch a final attack on those weak humans?" His voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying a hint of expectation and inquiry.

The orc king slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and firm. He did not answer immediately, but looked deeply at the priest in front of him, as if he was weighing some important decision. At this moment, the entire meeting hall fell into silence, with only the breathing sounds of the two orc leaders interweaving in the air.

“No hurry, our old friend hasn’t arrived yet. Pass on my order to gather under the fortress, put pressure on the humans, and send the Sanctuary to harass them.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Watching the old priest leave, a dark aura appeared on the face of the Orc King. He closed his eyes and continued to practice.

In the human camp, in the central army’s meeting tent, the dukes of the four provinces gathered, and the eldest prince and others sat around with solemn expressions.

"Your Highness, the loss of this battle is nothing. Aside from the Orc King, the orcs are nothing to worry about. As long as we want, we can easily recapture Tumubao!"

The eldest prince did not respond, but turned to look at Marshal Alex. Before he left, his father repeatedly told him to ask the Marshal's opinion first and not to be arbitrary. Alex felt the eldest prince's gaze and said calmly, "Don't worry, the two Saint Pillars will be here soon, and then it will be time for us to fight the orcs."

Duke of Thorn Flower said excitedly: "Great, with the two human saint pillars here, the orc king is nothing to worry about. The remaining orc army of less than one million will become the stepping stone for the rise of our human race!"

The other two grand dukes also followed suit.

"Now all we need to do is intensify our training, arrange reconnaissance, and keep a close eye on the orcs' every move!" Alex smiled, as if victory was only a matter of time.

The eldest prince looked at Alex, still feeling a little depressed, as if something big was going to happen.

After the meeting, the eldest prince called the Duke of Thorn Flower and invited him, "Grand Duke, Marshal, I have something to ask you two, may I know..."

"Your Highness, please feel free to ask me anything."

"this way please!"

In a military tent, the eldest prince hesitated and said, "Grand Duke, I always feel something is wrong. The orc king was a strong man who could fight against Master Field, who was at the peak of the Holy Domain. Although he failed, he was able to return from the Demon Abyss, so he must not be simple."

“Your Highness, your consideration is not unreasonable. The Orc King must have made a breakthrough in strength, otherwise he would not have started a war as soon as he returned. However, we have invited two Saint Pillar masters at the peak of the Holy Domain this time. With their combined strength, the Orc King will not be able to cause any trouble.”

"I hope so!" The eldest prince did not want to say such demoralizing words in front of everyone, for fear of affecting everyone's morale.

The eldest prince sighed, "I hope everything goes well... However, we can't just rely on the power of the Holy Pillar."

He looked at the Duke of Thorn Flower with a firm gaze, "We need to formulate some response strategies just in case."

Duke Thornflower nodded slightly, expressing his agreement. "Your Highness is wise. We can strengthen the fortifications and send elite teams to conduct sneak attacks and interference to disrupt the orcs' deployment."

The eldest prince thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's a good idea. In addition, I plan to go to the front line in person to inspect the battle situation and boost morale."

Duke of Thorn Flower said worriedly, "But your highness is of noble status, and the front line is too dangerous..."

The eldest prince waved his hand and said, "As a member of the royal family, I should live and die with the soldiers. Don't worry about my safety, I will be careful."

Alex smiled and said, "Your Highness's growth is really exciting. With you in the empire, the future is promising!"

"Marshal, you are too kind. First of all, as a human, I will not allow myself to retreat. Secondly, as a member of the royal family, the lives of my people are my life!"

Alex nodded secretly: "Your Highness, I have made arrangements. The major legions will also prepare for war. At the same time, I have also appointed my most capable general to lead the civilian organization army to ensure that everything goes well.

As time went by, the beastmen continued to harass. After a few days, the human army had gathered two million people. Under the command of Marshal Alex, they were deployed in an orderly manner. He did not gather the troops together, but divided them into two parts. He was also worried that something unexpected would cause the human race to be doomed, so he sent 50 high-level garrisons to the main capital cities of the Northwest Province. At the same time, he urgently dispatched defense forces in major cities. Improve the city defense, and at the same time order the entire Northwest Province to abandon villages and towns and move to cities. The tragedy of 20 years ago must not happen again.

Just as humans and orcs were confronting each other, two old men flew over together. They were chatting and laughing as they arrived above the human camp. As soon as they released their aura, several figures flew over. Alex bowed and said, "Thank you both for coming to support us!"

An old man dressed as a warrior in tight warrior clothes said calmly: "It's all for the human race, it's nothing, don't say polite words!"

The one who spoke was one of the three holy pillars of mankind, the 9th level peak sanctuary, the Sword Saint - Canon. The other was the Pope of the Holy Empire, the father of Annalina and her sister, Cavlin Richard.

Alex bowed again and asked the two adults to take a short rest in the army. We will launch a counterattack soon and defeat the orcs in one fell swoop.

In the Orc King's Court, the Orc King slowly opened his eyes: "Are you here? You are so anxious!"

When this tense decisive battle was about to break out, a grand memorial ceremony was taking place in the territory of the demons in the far west of the Southern Wilderness Plain, near the Demon Abyss.

In a magnificent city, a tall statue of the demon god stood in a dark fog on a huge square. Around the square, blazing flames illuminated the entire city and the night sky. Thousands of demons gathered here, wearing black robes and with fanatical expressions on their faces, to witness this unprecedented grand ceremony of worshiping the demon god.

A huge demon statue stood in the center, tens of meters high, exuding a terrifying aura. The statue's eyes flashed red light, as if watching every believer. The demon priests surrounded the statue, chanting something, waving their staffs in their hands, and performing mysterious rituals.

As the priests chanted louder and louder, the flames burned more and more vigorously. Suddenly, a black light shot out from the top of the demon statue and rushed into the sky. In the light, a huge demon figure gradually emerged. His body enveloped the entire city, making people feel extremely small and awed.

The appearance of the demon god made the demon tribe people fall into crazy cheers and worship. They knelt on the ground and offered their loyalty and faith to the demon god. The demon god opened his arms, as if accepting the worship of the believers.

Under the gaze of the demon god, the priests began the final sacrificial ceremony. They placed various precious offerings in front of the demon god statue, including blood, a large number of creatures of various races, and magical items. Then, the priests lit the offerings with their staffs, and the flames rose instantly, illuminating the entire valley.

After the sacrificial ceremony, the figure of the demon god gradually disappeared in the light. The demon people were immersed in joy and excitement. They believed that the coming of the demon god would bring them infinite power and glory. This unprecedented grand sacrifice to the demon god will be forever engraved in the history of the demon clan.

The leader of the demon clan, a terrifying demon with pure demon bloodline, was standing on the high platform of the palace, watching the completion of the sacrifice below, feeling the power of the feedback from the demon god, and was excited. He had finally reached the peak of the sanctuary. It had been three hundred years since he came to this world. He had finally recovered his strength and improved. Everything was inseparable from the favor of the demon god. At this time, the feedback from the demon god did not stop. There was a flash in the void, and a spear with an ancient and hideous shape emerged.

The devil grabbed it, and the cold tip of the gun flashed with divine light, as if it could pierce through space!

"What a great weapon!" The demon couldn't help but blurt out, waving it lightly with excitement. After a long time, the fear demon held the spear in his hand, looked into the distance, recalled the will of the Lord Demon, and murmured: "Don't worry, the whole continent will crawl at the feet of my demon clan!"
