After rejecting the request of her two subordinates, Yulia III raised her head and looked at the light bullets flying from the top of the Tower of the Great Sage towards the crack in the plane. Qingyu, who was guarding the other temple warrior beside her, spoke in the divine language of the Master of Mystery, "White Mist, do we need to send out scouts to investigate the situation in the north?"
"There's no need for that. There will be signs of the spread of chaos. It won't be easy for the demons to circle around and attack us from behind. If we move casually, it will destroy the defensive advantage we've built up and disrupt the defensive arrangements in the east. Knowing the situation in the north and responding accordingly is what the group of people sitting in the magic tower should do. We just need to defend one place. As a soldier, don't worry about the general. "
"Yes."
When she had set the tone, her two closest subordinates would usually not have any more opinions. Of course, every time they asked a question, Yulia III would try her best to explain her thoughts. This was also with the intention of training them, which was why she did this.
However, there was something she did not say this time, and that was that she was looking forward to the performance of the magic tower. From the beginning of the war, the demons' offensive was suppressed by the strategic magic of the Tower of the Great Sage. Although it was only the vanguard and the main force of the demon tide had not been officially displayed, the magic tower's performance was enough to amaze people. So the question now was, what was its limit?
And the ones with the most emotional fluctuations and faint unknown expectations were none other than the mages standing at the front line. According to historical records, every time the abyss invaded, the first wave of the army to stop the demons had a death rate of more than 90%.
Of course, this was not the case where 90% of the army died in the first battle. But even if they survived the first battle, they would not be able to retreat from the battlefield. In the subsequent battles, new recruits were constantly replenished, and people were constantly dying. In the end, when a huge price was paid to close the door of the abyss again, the people who could survive from the first battle to the end were usually less than one in ten.
Even if the beginning of this battle was different from all the recorded invasions of the abyss, and the human side was fully prepared, the mages standing at the front line could not hide the worry in their hearts.
From the first goat-horned demon's earth-shaking roar when it descended on the land of mystery, everyone's mind was shaken. As a legendary creature, demons were not an opponent that any adventurer would have the chance to encounter. Now that they had to face an army of unknown numbers, no one could face it calmly.
However, when the Tower of the Great Sage began to unleash its power and killed all the demons that stepped out of the cracks in the plane, an unknown confidence reignited in everyone. There was a magical tower that was capable of distinguishing friend from foe, and that covered the entire battlefield with strategic magic. This was a war fortress that had never existed in history.
However, after the demons appeared in large batches, the intensity of the magic towers' attacks seemed to be unable to keep up with the demons' speed. From time to time, high-rank demons with high magic resistance and strength would endure the light bullets and continue forward, shortening the distance between them and the human defense line.
When the United Army of the Cardenz District in the north made a strange declaration and retreated from the defense line, most of the mages had a mental breakdown. Morale was such a subtle thing. It was easily influenced by external factors.
If it weren't for the strict military law and the fact that there was no movement at the frontline, which meant that there was no chance to escape, the alliance of mages guarding the frontline would have collapsed in a moment.
Noticing the abnormality on the human side, the demons did not hesitate to charge towards the north while enduring the light bullets. They thought that perhaps as long as they engaged in close combat, the magical tower's strategic attack would stop and they would look for other targets.
Moreover, killing through the gap and then attacking from the side and the front to destroy the defense line in other directions and expand the battle results was a very natural tactical choice. Therefore, all the demons executed the plan without hesitation. On the second line of defense, the fear on the faces of the weak humans was also seen by the demons.
However, the speed of the light bullets suddenly changed and became as dense as rain, suppressing the demons' attacks once again. At the same time, the retreating alliance of mages, which had a total of D (500 people), was wiped out. Not a single one was spared. Everyone realized that the military law of the commanders from the Tower of the Great Sage was merciless. They could only force themselves to stay on the defense line.
Those were D mages, not livestock that only knew how to fatten up by eating food. They killed them all just like that. They were worse than livestock.
For a moment, the attack of the abyssal invasion was suppressed by the strategic magic of the Tower of the Great Sage, which had greatly increased in power. The demons that could have still advanced fell one after another on their way to attack the human defense line. Not only were their attacks stopped, but they were also slowly pushed back. And all of this happened without anyone's help except for the tower.
As if knowing that they could not win, the demon army's attack gradually slowed down. However, this was not a measure to make the humans feel at ease, because they only stopped at the gap between the planes and did not directly descend on the Mystic Continent. And if they did not descend, they would not be detected and captured by the Arcane Eye, and then be hit by the dense light bullets.
In other words, the demons were holding back a big move.
And the premise for all of this was that the gap between the planes was becoming more and more stable, and the two worlds were overlapping more and more closely. That was why it could accommodate so many living beings and was in the middle realm where the two worlds intersected.
The mages, who usually appeared so noble in front of people, were now like candles in the wind. Because all signs indicated that the demons' next attack would be unprecedented, whether in terms of scale or ferocity.
At the surface of the gap between the planes, there were countless demons of various sizes. And in this dark brown tide of red, there were also huge figures scattered about. Bat-like wings, gorilla-like arms, and all kinds of exaggeratedly huge horns. Their eye-catching figures and appearances made it hard for people to ignore them. Great demons. Not to mention some special individuals, great demons were the highest life form in the Abyss.
If they were just like ants, the demon army that filled the ground of the gap between the planes would not be too worrying. But the area where the two worlds overlapped was not just the surface, but also the air. The demons that could fly filled the air of the gap between the planes in an even more shocking number. From afar, it looked like a huge red pillar of flesh, looking down at the Tower of the Great Sage from above.
But a fixed position in the air was not like the ground, and there were demons that were squeezed out of the area of the gap between the planes from time to time. And as soon as they entered the area of the Enchanted Land, they would be captured by the Tower of the Great Sage, and be beaten up with strategic magic until they lost their lives.
The red pillar of flesh grew taller and taller until it reached a critical point. In the saturated gap between the planes, there were demons that were squeezed out of the boundary and died under the light bombs.
Looking up at the pillar of flesh made up of countless demons, the sight was shocking, and the threat was real. Staying in this defense line that took more than a month to build, no one felt safe. Even with the Tower of the Great Sage behind them, they did not have enough confidence to resist the scene in front of them, only endless fear.
Suddenly, there was a heart-wrenching roar that shook the sky. Most of the people present not only had their eardrums bleed, but also the fear that penetrated deep into their souls forced their minds to submit.
And this roar not only dispelled most people's fighting spirit, it was also like a command to all the demons to attack.
All the demons that had gathered in the cracks of the planes swarmed out. The sky could be said to be overwhelming, covering the clouds and the sun. The dark red color of evil dominated everything. The ground was like a magma dam, spreading in all directions.
Unstoppable! Undefeatable!
Looking at the demons' attack, this was the only thought in people's minds. They did not even have the desire to resist. Like puritans, they put down the weapons and shields in their hands, helplessly accepting this tragic fate.
The demons that could fly, no matter if they flew smoothly or rudely, did everything to threaten the ground troops more effectively. And according to past experience, they would first fly as high as possible, then dive down to attack. At this time, even if they were holding bamboo spears, they would still have an irresistible lethality.
The demons running wildly on the ground were the same. They waved their huge weapons, opened their bloody mouths, and roared in a voice that ordinary people could not understand. Some of the larger demons would even howl as they ran. The voices rose and fell, as if they were having a meeting, but also as if they were cursing and arguing with each other.
The deepest darkness was actually the precursor to the arrival of light.
As if to prove this saying in the maze world, the current master of the Tower of the Great Sage, Chuck Weiss, directly pushed the light bomb attack array to the theoretical fifth stage. Six hexagonal magic arrays stood in the air, and the Eye of Arcane did not move its line of sight this time, locking onto each individual. In any case, as far as the eye could see, there were enemies.
The hexagonal magic array began to rotate, and every time the sharp light turned to the top, a light bomb would fly out. When he spoke, it sounded incomparably slow. However, the hexagonal magic array that rotated clockwise was so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch it, and the light bomb attack array began to fire.
The light bombs formed a string, constantly opening up gaps between the sky and the ground. It was as if there were six knives cutting open fresh meat at the same time. And every gap that was opened up represented the death of countless demons. Although the power was greatly increased compared to before, compared to the number of demons, it was far less.
The demons that were being driven continued to attack the humans with an unstoppable advantage. Since the beginning of the war, it had been the residents of the Abyss who had been losing their lives. This was not like the opening of a Gate of the Abyss at all. Now that the demons were finally going to launch a counterattack, they were excited and agitated. They felt as if they could feel the hearts of humans beating when they held them in their hands.
And the last scene in the eyes of this demon was that the Tower of the Great Sage was like a shining fairy wand, and countless rays of light and light were shot in all directions along various curved trajectories. It was as if they were trying to resist the dark red sky without the sun.
