The solidified and uncompletely solidified magma made the entire dark black land turn crimson. It was not only the solidified magma, but also the dried blood, the corpses that had not been melted by the high temperature, and the metal fragments …
This revealed the fierce battle that had taken place on this land over the past few days.
The defense line of the coalition army was shrinking back step by step, and they had long withdrawn from the Bloody Claw Estate.
There were many countries in the human world, and the disputes were far more frequent than the Demon Realm. They were no stranger to war; the Demons, whose average lifespan was much higher than that of humans, were more aggressive by nature. The war in the Demon Realm had never stopped. These were still ordinary people. The strength of the powerhouses was proportional to their lifespan, so they could experience the battlefield for a longer time.
However, whether it was the Demons or the ground races, whether it was ordinary people or powerhouses, they had never experienced such a cruel and tragic war.
There was no benefit, no conquest, no occupation … There was only one purpose, destruction.
Although the coalition army had shrunk their defense line, they had not collapsed. They had been fighting tenaciously with the Abyss Army. Especially the Demons, they had shown strong strength and rich combat experience. Many targeted strategies and tactics could always allow them to destroy a large number of abyss monsters at a very small cost. However, no matter how ingenious the tactics and rich experience, they could not change the battle situation in the face of endless monsters.
The ground in front of the Star Brilliance Fortress had been severely deformed. There were huge potholes everywhere caused by the destruction. The ground was full of magma from the death of the abyss monsters. Behind the Star Brilliance Fortress, the Bloody Empire Capital was just over 2 mountains. There were a large number of Demons and a considerable number of migrating humans living there. After the Abyss Army poured out of the gate of the two realms, the area it spread was quite wide. It was not just the Star Brilliance Fortress. There was another direction that was also the main attack point of the monsters, which was the Black Iron Mountain Range leading to the Shadow Empire.
Catherine was currently presiding over the Pentagram Array Eye in the Heaven Slayer Formation. Jía had led the army from the Dark Moon Estate, Town Leia early in the morning to the Shadow Empire to preside over it. After learning about the movements of the abyss, she personally led the joint army of the Fallen Angel Empire and the Shadow Empire across the Black Iron Mountain Range from the Bloody Vine Flower Estate. Heavy troops were stationed at the Molo Fortress in front of the Black Iron Mountain Range to prepare for the invasion of the Abyss Army.
The areas where these 2 fortresses were located were under tremendous pressure. A large number of Demons and migrating human refugees had fled to the Bloody Empire Capital previously. Once the Star Brilliance Fortress was breached, the people of the Bloody Empire Capital would definitely have no time to evacuate. There was no place to defend, so the soldiers were desperately defending.
The Star Fortress was a huge fortress built temporarily based on the City of Star. It should also be the most powerful fortress in the entire Demon Realm. All the new weapons and a huge alchemy civilization army of the Demon Realm were gathered here.
At this point, the Starlight Fortress was slowly losing its grip.
In the White Sea, the Star had once displayed great lethality and destroyed the Abyss Fleet. However, that was the White Sea. With the geographical advantage, the Star could calmly destroy the enemies who were restrained by the terrain in the air. However, this was land, and the never-ending nature of the Abyssal Army was vividly displayed. The Starlight had been severely damaged in the previous explosion, and it had not been completely repaired until now. Even though its firepower was still strong, it was clearly powerless in the face of the increasing number of Abyssal monsters.
The combat forces of the alchemy civilization had been lost by two-thirds. In addition to the long-range titans and the lamp spirits who mainly assisted, the construct puppets, giant crystal beasts, and crystal beasts had suffered heavy losses. Although the City of Stars could temporarily create some soldiers, this speed was far from the rate of consumption. The fastest to manufacture was the assemble puppet with a large number of "accessories", but even if it was manufactured, it must be controlled by a skilled pilot. The talent of the alchemy civilization's spiritual monsters was repair. After all, there were only a few who were good at this. For this reason, all the trainee pilots of the Bloody Empire were summoned to participate in the war.
The coalition soldiers were covered with solidified blood and sweat. Their eyes looked mechanical and numb. Although there was a short break, and everyone was also distributed potions and food, maintaining such a high-intensity life-and-death battle for several consecutive days and nights was difficult even for an iron man. Many soldiers who took turns to rest even fell asleep while standing, but once they heard the sound of charging, they instinctively clenched their weapons and woke up.
Even the alchemy creatures had times of exhaustion. The current situation of the defending army was very bad. The camp was full of injured soldiers. Even the soldiers who still had the power to fight were almost at their limit. The alchemy army also did not have much combat power left. The firepower of the Star was also greatly weakened due to cooling or overuse damage. The bowstring that had been tightened repeatedly was already on the verge of breaking.
The truly tireless abyssal monsters did not give the defending army much time to rest. After the previous wave of attacks was destroyed, a new wave of attacks soon began.
On the distant horizon, a despairing blood-red color once again appeared.
"If I can survive this battle, can I have the honor of inviting you to a candlelight dinner?" The one who spoke was a handsome elf, Xining of the Magic Archer Legion of the Silver Moon Immortal Capital. He was a famous sharpshooter in the coalition army, and the object of his words was a valiant purple-haired beauty. She was the legion commander of the Fallen Angel Empire's Flying Cloud Legion, Fallen Angel Royal Family, Rometty.
Some elves and humans familiar with Xining were surprised. Xining was the dream lover of many female elves in the Silver Moon Immortal Capital, but because he was not good with words and had a proud nature, he rejected the love of many female elves. He was still single until now. Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to say such words to a woman, and it was even a woman from the Demons!
In fact, in these days of fighting side by side, Xining gradually fell in love with this heroic female warrior whose marksmanship and archery were not inferior to his own. Now, before what might be the last battle of his life, the introverted elf finally took the initiative to express his love, which was rare.
In those eyes, all the barriers such as race and camp disappeared, leaving only the purest feelings.
If it was in the past, the proud elves would definitely not recognize this kind of love with a foreign race. Even the Elf King Spann and the Fairy Dragon Melia were recognized after the Fallen Elf Calamity. But at this moment, the soldiers, including the elves, were jeering, "Say yes! Say yes! "
Rometty looked at Xining, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, but she pouted angrily in the direction of the Abyss Army, "If you can beat me this time."
Xining's spirit was lifted, "Okay!"
The nearby soldiers all laughed loudly, and their morale was boosted a little. At this moment, a horn of command sounded in their ears. Xining and Rometty looked serious and shouted in unison, "First Archer Legion, get ready!"
Due to the heavy casualties of the previous battles, the First Archer Legion was a reorganized long-range legion, including elves, humans, and Demons. Xining and Rometty were both deputy commanders.
The archers immediately stood neatly by the parapet wall, and the rest of the soldiers quickly prepared for battle. At this moment, there was no distinction between Demons, humans, or other races. They only trusted their backs to each other and faced the surging torrent of destruction together.
In front of the Starlight Fortress, all kinds of lights shone again. No one could be sure if this was the last flash of hope.
As the battle progressed, urgent reports were sent to the fortress' headquarters.
"The front can't hold on anymore! The enemy has broken through the wall! "The guard captain, Kozena, hurriedly walked into the headquarters.
The supreme commander in charge of the headquarters was Tiffany, the Bloody Empire's Empress, followed by Rex The Great and Sandro.
The 3 of them were originally commanding the battle in front of the city, but Rex and Tiffany were injured in the battle a few days ago. Especially Tiffany, she was seriously injured, so she stayed in the headquarters. When they heard that the wall was broken, the 2 were shocked at the same time. Tiffany quickly asked, "Kozena, how many reinforcements do we have?"
"Those who can fight have gone up, including the last batch of students from the Capital Academy …" The female guard captain smiled bitterly, "Even the ancient legion's reserve forces are exhausted. At present, only the remaining titans and the Lamp Legion are still fighting, but they can't hold on for long. Your Majesty, please evacuate immediately!"
Tiffany shook her head, "Catherine is fighting the Abyss Lord in Mountain Seckred, Jía is facing another Abyss Army in the Black Iron Mountain Range, and the capital is behind me. There is no place to defend. Especially in the capital, there are countless people who can't evacuate in time. The Starlight Fortress is the greatest hope of the empire and Demon Realm. How can I retreat? I can only fight to the death. "
"Hmph, stupid." A voice sounded at the door of the headquarters.
Tiffany frowned, "It's you."
This person was the former emperor of the Bloody Empire, Raizen.
He was also her father.
"You should have a special way to contact that guy right? What are you waiting for at this time?" The "guy" that Raizen was referring to was Chen Rui. Indeed, as a member of the Galaxy Divinity Temple, Tiffany could use her soul power to transmit the emergency situation here to Chen Rui, just like how Ben Hong was in an emergency in the Kingdom of Disaster back then.
Tiffany's tone seemed abnormally indifferent, "He has more important things now, so he can't be distracted."
Chen Rui was helping Rolla train the sealed realm power in the Elemental Realm. He must be clear about the current situation. The Abyss will definitely attack the Gate of the Two Realms, and it will definitely not delay time. The reason why he hasn't returned yet only means that Rolla's power has not been fully completed. Although many people can summon him through the Galaxy Divinity Temple, no one did so at this time.
Raizen sneered, "Is it more important than your life?"
"I trust him." Tiffany replied coldly, "This word is exactly what you lack."
At that time, the Bloody Empire had many candidates for the succession, including the 3 best princes, but in the end, they were all gone because of the struggle and suspicion. From this point of view, except for herself, Raizen really didn't trust anyone, including his own son.
Raizen showed disdain, "As an emperor, you shouldn't absolutely trust a person."
"I don't have time to argue with you on such boring issues. This is the highest command of the coalition army. You are just a retired person who has lost your power. You have no right to tell us what to do! You are not even qualified to enter this fortress! Someone! Drive this intruder out of the fortress! "
Hearing "drive out of the fortress", an unknown light flashed in Raizen's eyes. He waved his hand, and Tiffany's body shook. She felt that she was imprisoned by some power. She couldn't move or speak.
If it was a normal day, even if it was a sneak attack, Tiffany would never be so easily restrained, but now she was seriously injured and could no longer resist.
"I am indeed an abdicated emperor, but I have not lost my authority." Raizen smiled indifferently and said to Kozena, "Do you know what to do?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Kozena bowed deeply to Raizen, picked up Tiffany, and walked out. She understood what Raizen meant. The Bloody Empire King was needed here, but it might not be Tiffany.
As long as Tiffany was there, the Bloody Empire would still exist.
"You should have said just now that you are not only an abdicated emperor, but also a father." Rex The Great, who had been silent, spoke.
"Who are you?" Raizen frowned.
"Rex. Roland, an emperor who has lost the empire, the father of 'that guy' you mentioned." Rex smiled, "It seems that we are not popular fathers."
Raizen stared at Rex for a moment without making a sound.
"They will go further than us, right?" Rex's gaze became distant, as if he could see the distant sky through the wall.
This sentence made Raizen frown, and he took a deep look at Rex.
"Raizen. Mammon. I didn't expect to meet a human like you in the end. "
