War!
No matter which world it was, a war that was accompanied by blood and iron, fire and destruction was not a word that made people feel comfortable.
But today, a war between civilization and barbarians had been fought to their heart's content.
Yes, looking at the magical beasts that were resisted by magic and technology and then slaughtered, Tang En, who was full of curiosity, could only find such an adjective.
That was, to his heart's content.
More than two-thirds of the crazily invading magical beasts were destroyed by his grade 9 spell. The entire border area of the Emerald Forest had become tattered as a result. It would probably take the elves a few days to completely restore the vegetation here to its original state after the battle ended.
More importantly, the frenzied assault of the Daemon Horde did not slow down because of this. The Daemons that had completely sunk into insanity did not feel fear from Twain's thunderous methods, and were still charging towards Ellington with an indomitable will!
Even if he was a fool, Tang En would have discovered the abnormality in this matter. Now, he could only hope that Aiguin, who was deep in the forest, would be able to find some clues.
Ever since they stopped fighting, Tang En had been observing Garian and Klot's counterattacks. Whether it was the goblin grenade launcher that Garian had sacrificed his capital to bring out, or the Gnome Degeneration Ray that Klot suddenly displayed, they had all amazed Tang En.
It was not surprising that these two races were able to come up with something like this, given their unreasonably crooked technological tree.
Although the goblin grenades and high-explosive bombs were very effective against ordinary magical beasts and creatures, they were not very effective against the Seers who had awakened their innate talents. The Seers' reaction speed and defensive capabilities were enough for them to react before the explosion happened.
The Gnome Degeneration Ray was another type of black technology. The principle behind it was something that even Tang En did not understand. It involved advanced knowledge of biology and physics. With Tang En's half-baked education level, it was better to expect him to understand these things than to expect him to create a modified nuclear bomb from scratch.
But these things were quite effective against Ellington. A large number of magical beasts were blown to pieces by the bombs and missiles. They had become victims of firearms before they could even get close to Ellington. Only a few magical beasts with fast speed and strong defense were left. The intelligent magical beasts were still lurking in the shadows at the edge of the forest, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
And those strength-type and speed-type magical beasts had become cannon fodder for them to test Ellington. They kept charging, dying, charging, dying again …
Meanwhile, Gary and Clotho's ammunition was also rapidly depleting. When Gary used up all the ammunition he had stored up for a long time, he suddenly stopped. He did not want to fight Clotho head-on, but chose to compromise for the time being.
Clotho, who had won, proudly showed off the power of the Heaven Breaker and continued to rain missiles on the ground. The production capacity of the Gnome Kingdom was enough to support his squandering.
"This idiot."
After stopping, Gary looked at Clotho with disdain. "The purpose of war is to bring more benefits. What kind of leader is he if he doesn't even understand this?"
Azokamander withdrew his gaze from Elsa in the distance and said with a smile, "You tricked me too. I thought you were really trying to fight back. What do you think Tang En would do if he knew your real purpose?"
"Wealth is more important than anything, my friend!"
Jia Lian chuckled as he took out a notebook and slapped it. "I remember every single expenditure in this war. When the Beast Tide is over, we can talk to Twain about the price … The items have already been used up. If he doesn't want to pay, then I'll have to trouble you, my friend."
"Then leave it to me."
Azokamander smiled and nodded. After hesitating for a while, he said, "But if we give him a little more leniency, it seems that it's okay …"
Gary's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my god! Red Dragon Azokamander actually refused the temptation of wealth for a human?! "
Azokamander did not seem to want to admit that his attitude had changed because of his good impression of Tang En. "No one can resist wealth. What I mean is, if he can't take out the money for the time being, we can give him a little more leniency!"
"Of course! The Star Diamond Bank provides the best loan service! "
As long as Azokamander had no objections, Gary naturally had no objections. He was overjoyed to be able to take advantage of this Dark Tide attack to use up all the stock in one go.
This crazy attack continued for a whole week without stopping.
The residents of Ellington went from being frightened at the beginning of the Dark Tide to now being accustomed to it. It only took them seven days to adapt to this process. It had to be said that the adaptability of humans was really strong.
Outside the tall city walls, there were thrilling battles happening all the time. However, the residents inside the city walls were still living their lives as usual. They were not affected by the flames of war and were very relaxed. They did not feel the cruelty of war at all. Some people even planned to climb over the wall to see the situation outside.
Tang En did not know whether this kind of protection was good or bad, but at present, Ellington, which was thriving, could not withstand a blow, so he had to erect this wall and guard it well. Only then could the residents of Ellington believe that Tang En had the ability to protect their lives and let them firmly take root here.
Tang En looked at Fiona beside him and shook his head slightly. "You're very tired. Vanilla, take her to rest."
She had been standing on the city walls for the past few days, never leaving Tang En's side. She was just short of eating and living with him. With the Dark Tide attack, everything in the Lord's Mansion had been suspended. All her attention was now focused on this matter. She had only rested for less than a day in the past seven days.
Fiona shook her head. "I'm fine. Compared to me, those warriors fighting outside are more dangerous."
After awakening her innate talent, Fiona's spiritual power had made great progress. After returning from the underground world, she had also made a breakthrough, so she was fine even if she did not rest for a few days.
Vanilla looked at Tang En with a questioning gaze.
"Then let her be."
But not long after Gallian ran out of ammunition, Clotho's Heaven Breaker slowed down his attacks, because the production of the dwarves could no longer keep up with his consumption. The excited Clotho had gotten a big toy, and every time he attacked, he would go all out, and did not accurately calculate the amount of ammunition he used.
Not to mention that the world had been very peaceful in recent years, so the dwarves did not prepare many missile production lines. It was already good enough that they could suddenly rush production.
So, on the fifth day, the Heaven Breaker, which had run out of ammunition and food, landed on the edge of the city walls and stopped the bombardment. At this time, the traps outside the city walls had already been filled with the bodies of daemons. The hot lava had also been cooled by the pouring of blood. The densely packed corpses were partly covered in snow, and some were burning with black smoke in the flames.
The thirsty warriors finally crossed the defensive line and appeared on the battlefield full of craters and smoke.
As soon as the two sides took over, the warriors who had been watching a good show felt a great pressure!
Although their average strength had been improved, compared to the daemons that attacked this time, there was still a long way to go. It was one thing to stand on the city walls and watch Gallian and Clotho bombard the enemy, but it was another thing to personally go to the battlefield.
Moreover, this time, Tang En did not provide them with the enhancement of the Magic Aura, so they were under even more pressure.
The daemons' sharp claws and teeth could easily tear through hard shields. If not for the fact that the universal alloy was very strong and durable, they would have suffered heavy casualties by now.
Fangs and claws were one thing, but there were also various kinds of magic that they mastered.
Shields could defend against their bites and attacks, but they could not defend against magic attacks. This was also why every country was very active in trying to rope in mages, but Zeon insisted on maintaining a neutral policy for mages.
In war, the role that a magician could play was far greater than that of a warrior. Of course, their destructive power was also increased by hundreds or thousands of times. If this force was not restrained and allowed to indulge, perhaps the whole Prandal would soon be plunged into the flames of war again.
Fortunately, the daemons did not have many types of spells, and the effects were relatively simple, so Ellington's warriors had a very simple way to deal with these spells. They would interrupt them if they could, and if they could not, they would dodge. If they could not dodge, they would use their shields to resist.
Although they didn't have any fancy methods, they won in terms of effectiveness. After two days, they had figured out a simple method to deal with magic beasts. To deal with magic beasts that wanted to spit out spells, they would directly rush up to them and smash their jaws with their shields to shut them up. This was far more effective than dodging in all directions.
The rangers who occupied the commanding heights on the city walls would also use their vision, accurate archery, and various arrows with special effects to assist the warriors in battle. Therefore, although the pressure was great, it was not impossible to persevere.
It was worth mentioning that this method of dealing with daemons was thought of by Elsa. She had always liked to use this simple and crude method in battle.
And it was quite effective.
It was just that the daemons seemed to be instinctively afraid of Elsa's power. After Elsa killed hundreds of daemons around her, the remaining daemons finally dispersed to look for other targets.
Even the daemons were afraid of her power.
Watching the battle, Tang En's eyes swept over the bodies of the daemons. There was the rank one Ladya, the rank two Megalodon, the rank three Sudala, the rank four Sharp-Clawed Ironjaw Wolf, the rank five Flame-Tailed Cheetah, the rank six Sky Ripper …
After looking over and over again, Tang En frowned. "Still nothing …"
"What's wrong?"
"There are no daemons above rank seven."
Fiona was stunned. "Isn't that a good thing?"
"But when I was in the sky earlier, I noticed that there were rank seven daemons in the daemons."
Tang En frowned and said, "As for rank eight daemons, I really haven't seen them."
Vanilla said with a matter-of-fact look, "Isn't that normal? Rank seven daemons have intelligence, and rank eight daemons can almost communicate with us. Of course, they won't lack food because of the winter, and they won't easily leave their territory to attack cities. "
"But even if it's a rank seven daemons, I haven't seen any. Isn't that strange?"
Tang En frowned slightly. Could it be that all the rank seven daemons were lying in ambush?
