Chapter 295: Mind Flayer "Old friend, long time no see."
When the octopus-like monster appeared in front of Lady Eternal Night, he greeted Lady Eternal Night like this.
"I don't want to see you!"
Lady Eternal Night sat on a chair carved out of stone and looked at her old acquaintance in Hell angrily, this demon and Spider Queen Rose both belong to the demon lord under the Third Demon King, and the territory of the two families still has a large number of borders, although the Spider Queen is bent on escaping the Holy Demon War, and the guy on the other side who has advanced from the Mind Flayer is not good at fighting, and there has never been any dirt between the two, but this does not become a proof of a good relationship between the two.
"This time I came to you to mean the Demon King."
Seeing that his old neighbors don't seem to welcome him, the Mind Flayer gets straight to the point.
"What is the order of the Demon King?"
Lady Eternal Night asked the Mind Flayer standing below, even if it was the order of the Demon King, Lady Eternal Night had no intention of inviting this Mind Flayer to sit down, because she knew that this Heart Flayer was not her old neighbor's body, but just a clone that was controlled, and it could be said that almost all the Heart Flayers in the territory were clones of that guy, as long as he wanted to control a clone at any time no matter how far away he was.
"Samael's matter is not a complete failure, so this time the Demon King does not intend to punish you, with these spatial cracks that have been opened at present, the Demon King can more easily open the passage from hell to attack this world in a few years, but now not only Hell, but even the passage of the heavenly realm linking this world has also been opened, according to the meaning of the Demon King, it seems that there are angels with a high status who have entered this world, which is not good news for us, In order to gain an advantage in this battle and ultimately achieve total victory, I have been tasked with urging you to establish a forward base and gather more intel on humanity at the same time.
The Mind Flayer's strange face couldn't express the change in mood, but from the constantly wriggling tentacles, it was clear that the demigod of the same level as the Spider Queen seemed to be happy.
"Am I likely to refuse?"
"Of course it can't ......"
In this way, the hiding place of the dark elves has a new master, and this master did not immediately launch an attack on the humans, but began to use his ability to continuously collect information about the humans.
Lady Eternal Night has been hiding in a cave under the northwest coast of the Dragon Sleep Continent since she escaped from Eternal Night City, among the dark elves who escaped from Eternal Night City, some of the believers who are devout to the Spider Queen have been instructed by the Spider Queen to come to the cave to rendezvous, but most of the dark mages do not know what happened, and the power in the hands of Lady Eternal Night has been greatly weakened, and now there are less than 30,000 dark elves who follow her to live a hard life by fishing in the cave.
It is almost impossible to retake Eternal Night City, since humans have a way to put three-quarters of the dark elves at once, and make them completely turn against them almost overnight, it is tantamount to foolish people to want to regain their power, and the Lady of Eternal Night, who no longer has any thoughts about this world, now just wants to stay here honestly and wait until the angel demon finishes this battle and then take the dark elves back to hell through the way, but the appearance of the Mind Flayer obviously disrupts Lady Eternal Night's plan.
In just one week, the Mind Flayer forcibly controlled the dark elves to launch several attacks on the human villages and towns on the northwest coast, in order to understand the intelligence of the human world, the Mind Flayer needs a large number of human brains to read memories, and with the deepening of the understanding of human beings, the difficulty of the target selected by the Mind Flayer launched by the Mind Flayer has begun to become higher and higher, this unscrupulous behavior naturally attracted the attention of the Northwest Legion, as the reconnaissance planes looking for the attackers appeared more and more frequently near the coastline, Life for the Dark Elves is getting harder and harder.
Ever since the Mind Flayer came to the cavern, the strange-looking monster has naturally been rejected by the Dark Elves, but due to the Lady of the Night's repeated requests to the Dark Elves to put the Mind Flayer's orders on the same footing as herself, coupled with the Mind Flayer's perverted mind control ability, as soon as the Mind Flayer approaches, these Dark Elves will immediately become slaves of the demon.
As the Mind Flayer became more and more daring, the Dark Elves began to suffer a great loss from the battle, and not only that, but it has recently become unsafe to even go out fishing at night, and human scout planes with searchlights will fly low at low altitudes every once in a while, which has caused the Dark Elves to complain more and more about the Mind Flayer and the Lady of the Eternal Night.
From time to time, there are rumors of inexplicable disappearances of companions and the Mind Flayer's brain sucking, causing the Dark Elves to flee like frightened lambs, as soon as they see the Mind Flayer.
And at this time, the Lady of the Eternal Night also has to step in to stop the actions of the Mind Flayer for the sake of her own status.
"If you continue like this, this place will be exposed sooner or later, and your power will not be able to control 30,000 dark elves, right?"
Lady Eternal Night said to the Mind Flayer with a tough attitude.
"I can understand this concern, and I've learned about the human situation lately, and I probably don't need the help of these dark elves anymore."
The Mind Flayer unexpectedly forgave Lady Eternal Night's concerns.
After Lady Eternal Night complained to him, the Mind Flayer left the Dark Elves' temporary stronghold, and upon leaving, the Mind Flayer and the Lady of Eternal Night agreed that the Dark Elves would support him as force when needed, on the condition that the Mind Flayer would not interfere with Lady Eternal Night's rule again during this time.
The Mind Flayer didn't know that Lady Eternal Night's ontology, the Spider Queen, had almost all of her divine power taken away from her, so he still had a certain taboo about Lady Eternal Night's attitude.
The Mind Flayer is definitely a race that makes people talk about it in hell, this race is not the original race of hell created by the Hell Demon God, but the otherworldly race that I don't know where it came from, no one knows when these monsters with tentacles on their chins and mouthparts like needles appeared in Hell, when the Mind Flayer first appeared in the sight of the Hell Lord, these guys have already controlled a large and terrible territory, and more than a dozen Hell Lords have been forcibly controlled by the spirit, As soon as the ambitious Mind Flayer appeared, he directly ran to challenge His Royal Highness the Demon King of the third layer of hell.
No one knows the exact outcome of that earth-shattering battle, but none of the controlled lords appeared in front of the other lords, and the Demon King is still the Demon King, and the Mind Flayer returned to his territory after the challenge and behaved like a good baby and never stepped out of the territory again.
However, since then, the demon lords who are familiar with the inside story regard the territory of the Mind Flayer as a snake and scorpion, and they refuse to approach that territory even if they are killed, and only the newborn demons who don't know the inside story will choose to be neighbors with these dangerous guys.
Rose the Spider Queen is not an old lord, and at the age of less than two thousand years and a demigod, she knows far less about the secrets of hell than other demons.
As a new demigod with a very high mortality rate, if there is no territory to accumulate strength, then they are likely to die in the next Holy Demon War, in the overcrowded third layer of hell, or a rookie Rose chose a remote territory close to the Mind Flayer Territory as his lair, but as time went by, Rose learned more and more about his old neighbors, and he kept looking for ways to resist the terrifying spiritual power control of the Mind Flayer Lord, and hundreds of years of hard work were not in vain, Rose, the spider queen who is far more talented than Samael, has been able to restrain the mind snatcher's mental power control, and it is precisely because of this that she dares to ask the mind snatcher to leave, of course, if the mind snatcher finds that his divine power has been reduced to zero, then this matter will definitely not go so smoothly.
However, the Spider Queen also has a hard time, Lady Eternal Night can rule the Dark Elves for thousands of years in the form of dark elves, for these evil creatures that tend to be dark, Lady Eternal Night completely relies on her own strong power as a demigod clone to suppress them, faith alone is far from enough to restrain these evil guys, once the relationship between Lady Eternal Night and the Spider Queen is exposed, it is questionable whether the dark elves will obey the orders of a demon.
Lady Eternal Night, who is bent on cultivating the Dark Elves as a believer, will not tolerate the actions of the Mind Flayer after all, and if this continues, even the last 30,000 Dark Elves will leave her.
After the Mind Flayer left, the Lady of the Eternal Night finally breathed a sigh of relief, although this world seemed to her to have no need to continue to operate, but she still wanted to save as much as possible and bring the Dark Elves back to Hell, the Dark Elves were deeply loved by the Spider Queen in terms of personality and strength, even if it was good to stay in the territory as her servant.
While the Lady of the Eternal Night was recuperating while searching for the other dark elves who had not yet fallen to humans, the Mind Flayer had appeared in a human town in the middle of the Northwest Plains in a carriage.
In order to disguise his identity, the Mind Flayer directly controlled a chamber of commerce from the kingdom's inner region, and as the owner of the caravan who was sick and could not see the light, the Mind Flayer successfully crossed most of the Northwest Plains.
A slightly glazed-eyed businessman opened the door and stepped inside, carrying a small bucket of fresh, steaming animal brains.
"Master, we have also found out that the farmers recruited from the northwest did not arrive in this town, they all disappeared out of thin air between the previous town and this town."
After placing the food in front of the Mind Flayer, the controlled merchant spoke.
