Clear sign of annoyance. The succubus besides the throne has gaze similar to<strong>Keiyurikyouu's</strong>, hungry, lustful and as their gazes lock together she grins knowingly to her and replies to her question; "My name? Whatever you would want to scream out, but most and my liege calls me Glysora." As her looks are easy to eye so is her voice, as her voice alone feels caress bodies of men and women alike in the room. Caressing the ear and ear drums delicately to tingle them and send shivers through mortals alike. Also even if succubi are told to be sexual predators who stalk men and women to drain their lives away, there is certain.....openness, invitation, from succubus which dispels any fears of such. Prey feigning as victim? Or something else?<br/><br/>Lord Chargoth then gets on replying questions in turn; "You are indeed correct, I am the last member of original dark council which was made by other evil overlords who once ruled vast armies and resources. Only reason for my survival is that I was eldest and knew ancient secrets and knew way how turn my homeland back into prison what it was for many centuries until wards were broken. I merely raised magical wards back up again and thus ironically invention of heroes of old are now protecting Darklands, last domain where remains what is left of evil races. Evil humans can cross back and forth the barrier as you do as well, but good heroes would never dare employ evil leaning humans to do simple task as sabotage for them. Even against such odds I have traps and minions in place to protect the sites which keep ward active. We have at most a year before barrier falls on onslaught the heroes and their armies are doing against the ward. Then heroes can continue their crusade to purge all evil from the world.<br/><br/>Also your correct; I had ran out of all possible options for survival, until I was whispered by a near dead god a way to summon champions. Same way how other nations have done in past, but doing so asks great deal of sacrifice. Usually nine archmages are needed and after summoning they are a year in comatose state. I had no archmages capable for such task so I burdened the task alone, so thus taking gambit. I sacrifice permanently a large portion of my personal power to able pull six champions from beyond our world to this and get empowered by world's darkness, what's left of it anyways. As you labor and go sacrifice a limb you expect something great naturally, so thus as I see you I feel only a disappointment, because I know your nowhere ready to tackle the heroes yet who are now more powerful than you are now. But none the less I am glad in part I got six strong potentials at very least, as I see the blessings you bear are potent indeed so it was not all waste. I just hoped you had started off stronger and more mightier than you are now but we have to work with what we got.<br/><br/>Reason why I summoned you is simple; all other evil overlords have fallen and I alone, even in full power, had no way combat the approaching crusade. So I needed powerful villains to help tackle the heroes. Also I knew even if I use my full power just disappear and hide, world will end when almost all evil is eradicated. It will become influenced by higher planes and overcharge in divinity to point world eventually blows up. At best give world a couple centuries before it collapses and before then mortals shall suffer their folly in form of celestial monsters who hunt them down, destroy evil which lurks in all mortal hearts but neither good nor evil rules them. Mortal races choose which force they embrace in the end if neither. You have potential to oppose the heroes but in power scale your lower side of spectrum and right now single hero could defeat all of you, so you need grow stronger, much more stronger, before you have chance defeat even one of them. Thankfully all the heroes are pre-occupied in wearing and tearing down Blackwall ward, magical barrier. They all have entered into state of trance focus their stolen divinity to hammer the wards non-stop. However even their wards, servants and less powerful heroes back them up and keep Darkland borders guarded.<br/><br/>You have one year time to grow strong or find ways to get components to renew the ritual to reinforce the ward, each time you do so, the barrier gets extended span of life but cost grows each time greater and thus you cannot keep doing it forever."<br/><br/>Lord Chargoth had spoken in general terms to everyone but this time he focuses burning gaze to<strong>Guan</strong>and replies; "You were battling against army which belonged to Thrune Kingdom, who were serving the high queen. You were defending one the nobles who wanted remain independent and not serve the crown, as Thrune Kingdom had got no high king nor queen for over seven hundred years and land was in constant internal conflict. Until latest patch of heroes found out last remaining heir of the original royal family which was murdered seven hundred years ago by rebels. By heroes decree, supported by queen, is demand for absolute obedience to queen to every noble and give all what they have for crusade efforts to eradicate evil. Even nobles who align with queen aren't giving them all, or at least much the heroes or queen so desires. Then other few refuse outright and those are quickly labelled as traitors and then killed and lands redistributed to neighbors, who naturally with greed take what they are given for free and thus will not help the traitor even if there is old alliance between them.<br/><br/>Adventurer (http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/tactics_ogre_wheel_of_fate_conceptart_XiFmN.jpg) whom you saw must have been<em>Red Baron</em>, one companions to the heroes. He was wandering excellent duelist who practices art of bladesinger, duelist without purpose until he met heroes and then became a man responsible to protect the queen and her interest. Sort elite agent serving the queen in heroes absence. His exact origins and true name are clouded in whimsical tales and rumors, but he had many years running as Crimson Duelist in Thrune Kingdom and in past refused partake sides on any conflict and follow his own heart. No one has defeated him in a duel, expect one the heroes.<br/><br/>I know you all answered the call based on your personal desires, but for now I ask you focus more on defeating the heroes so you can later on indulge and do what you want. Perhaps long run become the new dark council once all this is over with. Of course along the way you can do what you want when you can, but in bigger picture your not mighty as the heroes your facing now so increasing your power is important as gathering of allies and more magical items are important. Thanks heroes crusade and crumbling of dark council, Darklands are in chaos and in turmoil. Even if I am last remaining member of council I in truth hold little influence and power, more so that most of my powers were decreased thanks summoning you. Earlier dark council lieutenants are on their own crusade and conflicts inside Darklands, internal civil war which is foolish but without guidance and strong power to command them they cannot unify against common enemy now as they focus on their ambitions now, as they have lost hope against winning the crusade so they decide indulge on their desires long as they can before crusaders storm through Blackwall."<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/eb/a8/d0/eba8d0f0f10ea36e50e667b896eeb096.jpg)<div class="floatright"></div></div>
