Demon Lord, Belagor

Fred had spies sent to Valenhelm and into the Nekojin Empire into investigate any connection between Marcia and Lionri. It seemed weird that Ryuko had Nekojin working for her. Word came back, revealing that yes, Ryuko had used glamour magic to disguise herself as a Nekojin.

It turned out one of Lionri's concubines was actually Ryuko.

"So she's seen how I fight" said Fred, "I assume those Nekojin really serve Lionri who is in alliance with Marcia"

According to the spies, Lionri was aware that Ryuko was using glamour magic, though believed she came from the East Lands.

Suzie came in.

"There's a bit more to it" she said, "when we were transported to Arizelle, we arrived at a place in the Orc Nations called the Towering Inferno"

"Towering Inferno?"

"It is the fortress of the Demon Lord Belagor" said Suzie, "I don't know why you ended up in a different location"

"So Marcia works for Belagor?" asked Fred.

"Kinda but she's seeking to overthrow him" said Suzie, "thats what this invasion is about, building her own forces so she can wage war against Belagor"

"So basically, whoever wins the battle with Marcia gets to fight Belagor" said Mordred.

"Yes, Marcia thinks that taking Britariel will will her enough power to go to war with Belagor" said Fred, "well, that goes both ways. We take Valenhelm, we can take on Belagor ourselves"

"No, that is madness" said Saketh.

"Oh, come on, we beat two dragons, we can beat a demon" said Fred.

"But not a Demon Lord"

"But still, Belagor is going to try to invade us" said Fred.

"How can you be so sure?" asked Saketh.

"How dense are you?" asked Fred, "why would a demon with that amount of power not try to take all of Arizelle. Its literally what I'm trying to do"
