Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

toss them wherever and forget about them.
He would definitely instead situate her in the center of his power.

The orc shaman Li Dingnan couldn't resist muttering though, “So many vassal units and hundreds of elite warriors, yet this still isn't the core of his territory.
Just how many subordinates does this Demon King have!”

The vast majority of Demon Kings that they've dealt with in the past were merely level 1 mob Demon Kings.

The goblin village and goblin farm is just the Darkness Valley's production area, but it's already enough to utterly crush the entire territories of those Demon Kings.

The Heroes just got more excited though.

The reward from killing a Demon King depends on both the personal power of the Demon King as well as the size of their territory and the number of their subordinates!

The bigger the territory, the more rewards that will be generated!

This is an extremely rich opportunity for them!

After finally arriving at the central area of the Darkness Valley, the four Heroes were utterly stunned.
The Darkness City is already over half complete, with thousands of draconians, minotaurs and skeleton soldiers swarming everywhere.
It was an awe inspiring scene!

That's way too much!

Although they did their best to estimate upwards, the territory was still far beyond what they had imagined!

The Demon King's directly summoned units and his vassal units have probably already broken through 10,000 in total.
This is something completely unprecedented.

The four Heroes realized.
The Demon Kings that the four of them have killed before might not be able to compare against this Demon King even if they were all put together.

This Demon King's forces are rather beyond what common sense should dictate!

“Found it! She's inside the Demon King Castle!”

This provoked a slight reaction from the other three Heroes.

Only now did they finally notice the existence of the Demon King Castle.

The Demon King Castle is the Demon King's home base.
Heroes will be weakened after entering the castle, whereas the Demon King's strength will increase while within the Castle.
It would thus greatly increase the challenge difficulty!

That said, after coming all this way, just who could bear to just give up now.

There's no more chances if they miss this opportunity.

There's no way that they'll be able to find a second Demon King like this one.

Hmph, so what if there's a Castle? There's no way that the Demon King could stop them!

“Let's go!”

They drank the invisibility potions and directly headed to the Castle.

The orc shaman casted a spell, “Mind control!'

The Demon King Castle's guards are high soldiers.
Although they're level 2 Elites, when taken by surprise, there's obviously no way that they'd be able to resist a level 3 pseudo Lord's mental attack.
Thus, their eyes turned dull.

“Open the gate!”

The four Heroes stepped into the Castle.

They could clearly feel that the moment they entered, their powers were immediately suppressed.

“Everything went smoothly!”

“What's the next step?”

“Do we directly search out the Demon King, or should we instead follow the guide to find the elf city lord?”

Wang Gang replied, “Get the elf city lord first.
She's a very important piece for the Demon King.”

“If we can find her and take her hostage, then the Demon King would hold back.
After all, the elf city lord is useful for him, so he wouldn't want to just randomly kill her.”

When the other three heard that, they felt this strategy was brilliant.

“Hahaha!”

“A reverse kidnapping and hostage situation!”

“As expected of you, Wang Gang.
Your moves are just too much!”

“Use the Demon King's hostage to instead threaten the Demon King.
Nice one, I like it!”

The four Heroes moved invisibly and, through use of potions or mental hypnosis, managed to successfully pass through one checkpoint after another.

In the end, they finally arrived before a certain room.

The elf city lord is inside that room.

They exchanged a glance.
Everything went smoothly so far, so they immediately pushed the door open.
However, at that moment, a magical eyeball suddenly opened up from the wall right behind them.

The Heroes' idea was indeed pretty good.

The young city lord is indeed a very important hostage for the Demon King.

Not only can she be used to extort Giantree City now, in the future, she can also be used to control Giantree City or even the entire elven race.

Thus, how could Zhang Nu not pay a great deal of attention to such an important hostage?

Zhang Nu had placed a high number of Eyes of Detection nearby to monitor the area.

It's one thing if those Heroes had shown up anywhere else, but the moment they showed up near where Nancilia is, the Demon King would notice for certain.

At this moment.

In the Demon King's throne room.

Zhang Nu is currently sitting on the altar.

He clearly saw the four Heroes sneaking about.

“Be it the Darkness Valley or the Demon King Castle, both are well guarded and patrolled.
The fact that those Heroes were able to get in means that they really are no ordinary individuals.”

Since the Eyes of Detection are a kind of indirect observation, Zhang Nu was unable to see their appraisal information.

That said, given the evidence, he estimated them to at least be around the strength of a level 3.

This is around the same level as the guildmaster of the Ironblooded Heroes, Du Mingfeng.

Plus, they're extremely experienced in dealing with Demon Kings.
Otherwise, there's no way that they'd have been able to infiltrate this far.

“It looks like I really am going to have to increase security.
Otherwise, getting mice sneaking in every couple of days will end up being quite a headache.”

As for how to deal with the four of them here?

Zhang Nu stood up from his Demon King Altar, and a powerful aura immediately enveloped the entire room, making the draconian generals, draconian priest, and draconian soldiers all unconsciously kneel down and avert their eyes.

“High quality souls, delivered right to my door.
Since you're being so generous, I'll go ahead and receive it with a smile.”

Heroes of that level would definitely not be some nameless mobs.
Their abilities will definitely be quite abundant, which made Zhang Nu feel a sense of expectation.

He had just leveled up to level 3, so it's only natural that he'd want to try it out and see just how strong he really is.
