Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start-Chapter 1074 596: Demon Lord Approached Twilight City [2/3]

The situation became increasingly chaotic. The demons, devils, and spirits of the dead appeared in the spatial cracks in the Main Plane and did not slow down. They even got worse.

The turmoil gathered all sorts of chaotic factors.

The background battle for the throne of the Holy Church Empire eventually ended.

The First and the Second Princes fought with all their might. That rapidly weakened their forces due to the changes in the external environment.

The four legendary archdukes stepped forward at the crucial moment and domineeringly announced the turmoil. The Holy Church Empire could no longer continue to fight internally. They had to decide on a king immediately!

Only one candidate remained for the throne. The Third Prince!

The First and the Second Princes were furious and wanted to resist.

However, most turned to the Third Prince, except for the nobles closest to the First and Second Princes. The four archdukes and countless nobles coerced them.

The situation became clear. Only a few were stupid.

The battle for the throne of the Holy Church Empire ended without drama.

The Third Prince had officially stepped onto the stage of history. He became the new King of the Holy Church Empire.

The third prince ascended the throne. He assumed kingship with real power under the strong support of the four mighty archdukes. Of course! Richard made all this possible.

He canceled the initial plan to target Ell Plane. The rebellious nobles welcomed a great purge.

The demons appeared and buried the First and the Second Princes in the sea of fire.

Some archdukes worried about the mysterious evil god behind the first prince who had not appeared.

The death of the First and the Second Princes restored the peace.

The highest-ranking figures of the Holy Church Empire had quietly become part of Richard's tentacles unbeknownst to the outsiders.

The Third Prince ascended the throne. That positioned countless nobles from the four archdukes.

The upper echelons of the empire began to change the world.

Time has passed. The situation in the Mortal Plane underwent a tremendous change after half a month on the 5th of October.

Demons, devils, and undead were visible in almost every region. Chaos and war became the main melody.

Countless demons invaded the cities and displaced civilians.

Food had become scarce, and the price incessantly rose.

The price of all weapons and equipment related to war had also risen to an exaggerated level.

Resources began to be scarce.

The entire Mortal Plane was in a tense mood.

The initial structure gradually collapsed under the external danger. It began to form a situation where the big city was the core, and its influence spread to the surroundings.

Several empire rule powers had dropped to the freezing point.

One city after another became his own master, no longer under the control of anyone.

An Alternate Plane independent of the Mortal Plane and an uncontrollable city-state formed a new order under the broken order.

The players called it the "City Era"--States.

A brand new situation had appeared.

The lords who had survived and relied on the big cities regained their footing.

The chaotic demons couldn't organize an effective attack. That vastly reduced the threat they posed. The Devil Lords occupied the territory they wanted. They also slowed down their pace of attack.

The undead consolidated their trump cards and stopped wanton expansion.

The situation quietly formed a remarkable balance. That temporarily stabilized the balance, although this balance was as fragile as a piece of paper.

A piece of news broke the silence of Twilight City on October 8th.

Karu glanced at Richard solemnly.

"Lord, the scouts reported a vast spatial rift a hundred kilometers away from Twilight City.

"A sea of demons surged out from inside.

"The surrounding stone statues of the dead went out to support. But countless enemies incessantly flew. We can't kill them at all.

"And those demons seem to have a mastermind behind them. They're heading towards Twilight City!

"According to the lowest estimate, this batch of Evil Demons will exceed 300,000. There must be a mastermind behind them if we have guessed correctly. The number will be even higher.

"Please, I am waiting for your instructions!"

Richard immediately tensed up and stared at Karu with burning eyes.

"How strong are the demons?"

"Average level 15 and above."

"What about the number of extraordinary soldiers?"

"Not much, about one percent."

Richard's face softened slightly.

"Capture a few demons and interrogate them for information. We especially need to know which layer of the abyss is on the other side of the rift!

"Immediately pass the news to Tai Long. He would prepare the rotten swamp for the corpses!"

"Bloodhoof City and Ell Plane should also prepare their resources. I've given the order to anticipate the troops to arrive immediately!"

"As you wish, Lord!"

Butler Karu replied loudly. Determination engulfed his eyes.

Richard called for Gray after Karu left.

Gray, the mummy hero, had already reached level 19 and was only one step away from becoming a transcendent after half a year of development.

Gray currently took charge of the Twilight City defense. The mummy hero could mobilize the Twilight City troops while Richard was out.

Richard's gaze was sharp as he looked at Gray. Its crown has two ribbons. They floated beside its ears and empty eyes.

"How are the city defense preparations?"

Gray's slightly hollow voice sounded.

"Lord, we have prepared in a half year. We have enough strategic reserves!"
