Zhu Que City, Southern Border.
Zhu Que was meditating in the city. Although the Demon Clan had not made many moves recently, the Rosefinch Army's vigilance against the Demon Clan had not weakened in the slightest.
Zhu Que did not believe that the Demon Clan would coexist peacefully with the Human Clan. When the Demon Clan was ready, they would definitely make a comeback.
Fortunately, the news from Tian Nan City was mostly good. The current Tian Nan City was already on the right track. It was no longer the Tian Nan City of the past.
Zhu Que knew that the next time the Demon Clan attacked, the Rosefinch Army would be able to bring out ten times the fighting strength of the past, or even more.
And all of this was thanks to that man. That was her man.
As the commander of the army and the protector of a region, Zhu Que would not express her feelings for Ye Tianze in front of others. She would only secretly engrave that handsome face in her mind in the dead of night.
On this day, she did not tire of repeating the trivial matters of the past. Suddenly, she felt uneasy and walked out of the residence.
But this uneasiness did not disappear. Instead, it became even more intense. Zhu Que frowned and prepared to patrol the city walls.
Her many years of experience told her that when this feeling appeared in her heart, it meant that something bad was about to happen. It could even mean that the Demon Clan was about to invade.
"How is it? Is there any movement from the Demon Clan?" Zhu Que asked after patrolling the area.
"Why do you say that, Sir? If there is any movement from the Demon Clan, we will investigate it immediately. After all, we have spent a lot of effort to plant spies in the Demon Clan."
Qi Shengyu said.
"Although we are prepared, we cannot let down our guard. I just had a feeling that something is about to happen. You should be on full alert."
Zhu Que was still worried. She patrolled the area once more before preparing to leave.
But at this moment, the alarm bell in Zhu Que City suddenly rang. This was the most powerful battle alarm. The entire Rosefinch Army was awakened.
Zhu Que immediately returned to the city wall and asked curiously, "What happened?"
"My … My Lord … You … Look over there …" Qi Shengyu, who had always been calm, had a panicked expression on his face.
Similarly, it was the same for the warriors on the city walls. Even when facing the million strong army of the Demon Race, they might not be like this.
Zhu Que turned her head and looked in the direction of Heaven Fey City which was further south. It was pitch-black.
"Demon clan?" Zhu Que asked curiously, "Where are the spies? Why isn't there a report? "
Qi Shengyu didn't know what to do. He had just been bragging, and now he had been slapped in the face. Naturally, he couldn't report back.
Zhu Que immediately ordered, "The entire city is on alert. Prepare to meet the enemy!"
That black mass surged towards the Vermilion Bird City like a tide. At first, there was only one direction, but as time passed, the darkness in front of them joined together to form a large expanse.
If it was the Demonic Race, how many tens of thousands of troops would they have to be able to cover the sky like this? The veterans of the Rosefinch Army thought to themselves.
However, they were battle-hardened warriors and were fearless.
When Zhu Que's array was activated, they were already in their strongest state. Even if the Demonic Race sent an army of ten million, they were confident that they could defeat them head-on.
The black mass was getting closer and closer to them. It was like the surface of the sea. All they could see was the darkness in the distance.
The atmosphere on the city walls turned increasingly stifling. This was because they suddenly realized that the black mass in front of them didn't seem to be the Demonic Race.
"My … My Lord … What … What is that!?" The veterans realized that something was amiss.
Qi Shengyu and the other generals looked at Zhu Que. As the commander of an army, Zhu Que, who had experienced countless life-and-death battles, fell silent.
She didn't know what it was either. It wasn't the Demonic Race, but the black mass kept invading, devouring everything in its path.
Darkness suddenly descended on Zhu Que City. At that moment, everyone's faces were filled with despair.
It was as if the end of the world had arrived. However, they found it strange that the darkness didn't devour them. Although the black curtain that covered the sky enveloped Zhu Que City, nothing happened.
Until … Until their vision became darker and darker. They watched helplessly as the light disappeared bit by bit, as if it was being devoured by something.
What they saw became more and more blurred. Suddenly, Zhu Que's array was extinguished.
It was like a withered oil lamp in a dark room that was suddenly blown out by someone, leaving only darkness where one couldn't even see one's own fingers.
The veterans of the Rosefinch Army suddenly panicked. They shouted loudly. At first, they could still hear each other's voices.
But … very soon, even the sound was gone. In the darkness without any light, they urged their spiritual energy, trying their best to emit traces of light and heat.
However, there was no light or heat. There was only a bone-chilling cold. The darkness was devouring everything in front of them … devouring the light that they relied on to survive …
"It's over …" Zhu Que knew that this time, it was really over. No one could save Zhu Que City.
This time, the Demonic Race had completely defeated them. They didn't even need to use a single soldier …
The darkness was like a tide that swept past Zhu Que City, along the borders of the Human Race, and eroded towards the center. Soon, the entire Tiannan was submerged, and so was the Southern Land.
Zhu Que didn't know that the darkness had started from the borders of the Human Race, swept past the Four Great Realms, and enveloped all the lands of the Human Race except for the Imperial Dragon Realm.
It didn't stop for long outside the Imperial Dragon Realm before it began to spread forward again …
Imperial Dragon City.
Old General originally wanted to go to the Imperial Palace. However, he suddenly looked into the distance. This distance was in all directions, and all he saw was endless darkness. Even someone as strong as Old General felt his hair stand on end because of this darkness. He hesitated, and his breathing lost its rhythm. The darkness continued to spread, and it was so oppressive that it felt like the sky was collapsing, pressing down on his body.
However, after a long time, Old General suddenly calmed down. He held the Mo Saber in his hand and waited quietly.
At this moment, he realized that there was nothing he could do other than wait. He could only allow the darkness to corrode the land he had fought for and loved …
Finally, the darkness arrived outside Imperial Dragon City. The entire Imperial Dragon City became the only place where the Human Race still had light. In front of him was a deathly stillness. He couldn't even see his fingers if he stretched out his hand. The darkness was like a tsunami.
When the darkness covered the sky, Imperial Dragon City was like an oil lamp that could be extinguished at any time. It flickered weakly, illuminating the last glimmer of light in the hearts of people.
However, Imperial Dragon City fell into panic. Even someone as strong as Old General couldn't breathe. People looked at the tsunami-like darkness that could invade at any time and trembled. Some people began to kneel down and pray, while others had already lost their willpower …
