Before the live demonstration by the leader of the Berserker Demons, these always reckless Berserker Demons finally stopped and wandered outside the minefield.
These extremely belligerent, simple-minded guys are not afraid of death, but they also cherish the opportunity to enter the main material plane - the mad warriors enjoy the ultimate pleasure of destruction and killing.
But unexpectedly, the bombing in the sky was not constant, and the safe haven they thought might be hit by thunder at any time.
Behind the wall of the empire, the artillery regiment of the Ember Empire immediately adjusted the elevation angle of its artillery, shrouding the location of the mad fighting demon army.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The ground trembled, artillery fire continued, shrapnel flashing with dazzling golden light flew everywhere, and dozens of mad war demons fell on the spot.
"Ah - damn material bugs!"
The fighting demons howled and roared, but were unable to resist, which made them feel extremely aggrieved.
There is an extremely dangerous minefield in front of them, and there is still a wave of timid demons behind them. They have nowhere to hide.
And the cannonballs falling from the sky this time were even more terrifying. Each piece of shrapnel released a golden light - they were cannonballs tempered with holy water, carrying radiant power.
"This disgusting smell——"
"Damn, it's holy water!"
The shrapnel soaked in holy water easily split the armor-like skin of the Berserker, and the holy explosion swallowed up the strong and ugly body of the Berserker.
"Shua——"
Rays of sun-like light bloomed in mid-air, making this bombardment quite sacred.
This batch of ammunition was produced in cooperation between the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Empire's special priest Ingrid. It is specifically designed to target evil creatures and is called the "Exorcism" series of ammunition.
However, after a few rounds of shelling, the menacing demon army suffered heavy losses, and less than half of the demons retreated into the demonic tide.
Leo raised his head, looked at the dense network of firepower in the sky, and then looked down at the dangerous minefield full of mines, and he suddenly became furious.
Half a day has passed, and he has not advanced the front line at all!
You must know that sending such a large number of demons will be a huge drain on the abyss and Jerrazak. If the empire cannot be destroyed as soon as possible
His own fate will never be good.
The Burning Ember Empire's attrition tactics of fire coverage and minefield obstruction are indeed very effective, but their opponent is the Abyss Demon!
He can completely rely on the numerical advantage of the Coward Demon to force his way through the minefield and finally break through the empire's defense line.
Thinking of this, Leo Bossk raised his long whip, spread out the broad and strong wings on his back, and roared at the low-level demons.
"Charge!"
"Crush the enemy in front of you!"
Rounds of fiery ripples expanded rapidly with Leo as the center, and the terrifying pressure of high-level demons was completely released, making all lower-level demons tremble.
Driven by this instinct of surrender, the cowards marched amidst fierce artillery fire. Like a tireless wave, they rushed towards the minefield one after another.
"Ouch——"
Harsh, noisy screams came from the demon tide, which contained hatred for all things. When countless demons screamed at the same time, even the most powerful creatures would tremble.
But unfortunately, there are no enemies in front of them. What greets these demons is only dense explosions.
"Boom!"
The arcs of artillery fire in the sky criss-crossed, forming a dense network of firepower. Another cannonball exploded among the demons, turning thousands of cowardly demons into powder in an instant.
But this time, under Leo's control, these demons became even more unafraid of death.
They turned a blind eye to the explosions around them and the broken remains of their kin. As long as they had a breath, they would move forward tirelessly and endlessly.
There was even a coward whose right arm and both feet were cut off by shrapnel.
It was seen dragging its trunk with its only remaining arm, moving slowly on the charred ground, still struggling to move north - until the flying shrapnel cut off its head.
And even those cowardly demons who broke through the artillery blockade would not end up much better, or even worse.
"Boom!"
As soon as a cowardly demon stepped into that land, the mines under his feet suddenly exploded, causing mud to fly.
Under the fierce explosion, the cowardly demon was blown several meters high, and then fell to the ground, leaving only a broken and charred corpse.
As the war progressed, more and more cowardly demons risked their lives to step into the minefields, and were killed by mines not long after. Some demons even triggered cluster bombs, dragging hundreds of cowardly demons around them to be buried with them.
"When, when, when"
The dull sound of horse hooves and the scraping of metal armor were heard, and demons resembling knights passed through the artillery fire blockade and galloped across the wasteland.
These monsters have muscular horse bodies and sickly human arms and faces.
Their upper bodies were pale and bloody, with painful pus flowing from them. Thick horns protrude from its forehead.
It wears a set of complex-structured, pitch-black full-body armor, with a few tufts of short, hard hair exposed from the gaps in the armor.
——This is the cavalry demon. They are demon heavy cavalry. They rush towards the enemy with uncontrollable desire for killing and fury. They often gallop through the wasteland, bringing death to all creatures they can see.
The leader of the cavalry demons led many cavalry demons to shuttle across the battlefield, dodging explosions one after another.
They were lucky enough to gallop hundreds of meters without triggering the mines. "Charge——"
"Kill, kill them!"
The cavalry demon waved his flail wildly, trying to show off his majesty on the battlefield - but the commander-in-chief did not notice the coming danger.
"Shua——"
The trip wire hidden in the weeds suddenly rose, but the cavalry demon who charged at high speed didn't even notice it and was tripped to the ground.
"Damn it!"
It rolled several times, kicking up bursts of dust on the ground.
However, immediately after, the Iron Cavalry Demon felt a cold metal touch under its torso, and its expression suddenly changed.
"Boom!"
With the loud noise that shook the sky, the cavalry demon was blown into two pieces on the spot. The upper body of the man and the lower body of the horse were blown into coke and went their separate ways.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding mines were triggered one after another, and the following cavalry demons were also annihilated in the fire, leaving only the scorched black ground.
"Ouch——"
The quasai demons flapped their wings high in the sky and flew towards the wall of the empire, forming dark cloud-like demon tides in the sky.
In order to avoid the interlaced artillery fire in the sky, they went to an altitude of hundreds of meters, trying to cross this difficult-to-break defense line in this way.
But within the walls of the Empire, the air defense soldiers stroked the two cold, nearly four-meter-long barrels of the anti-aircraft guns, pressed the firing device, and smiled impatiently.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang"
A crisp sound that was somewhat different from the previous shelling sounded.
One shell after another dragged dazzling flames into the sky, followed by an even more brilliant explosion.
The arcs of these artillery fires were far denser than those of the previous heavy artillery, playing a concerto of death high in the sky.
In an instant, countless Quasai demons were engulfed by the fire, and their charred, shapeless bodies fell from the sky.
And during this day, similar things have happened countless times, and those demons who want to forcefully break into the empire's defense lines will always end up miserable.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The intensive bombardment was still going on without stopping for a moment, and all the ammunition accumulated by the empire over the years was poured on the demon.
And in this state of national war preparation, almost all imperial factories are producing ammunition day and night. These baggage were continuously transported to the south by train, providing strong logistical support for the Imperial Wall.
By the time the sun sets and the sky becomes dark, the wasteland has become devastated, with scorched earth and bomb craters everywhere.
In the areas with the most intensive artillery fire, the hills were flattened, and the corpses of demons crowded the ground, even stacking up in several layers, forming new "soil".
From day to night, under the Empire's indiscriminate bombardment, the Demon Legion spent a whole day without breaking through the Empire's defense line.
In the night, rays of light streak across the sky, intertwining into a dense network, illuminating the ground as if it were daytime.
——But this is just a mutual test between the two sides. The Empire is experimenting with the power of weapons, while Leo Bossk is using the cheapest demons to consume the Empire's artillery shells.
"You will be destroyed"
In the dark night, surrounded by demons, Leo looked at the brightly lit empire wall in the distance with a distorted face, his eyes filled with chaotic firelight.
For the demons transformed by Zerrazax, hatred is the source of their power.
And this former Grand Duke of Bosque has been thinking about destroying the empire and killing the red dragon all the time for more than ten years.
Until now, this hatred has reached its peak and even penetrated deeply into his bones.
Suddenly, a quasai that was flying erratically flapped its wings and staggered into his sight.
Leo looked sulky, and he casually pinched the head of the Quasai demon. The veins on his thick arms popped out, and the five red fingers gradually exerted force.
"Ouch~"
The quasai demon let out a painful cry, but due to the suppression of the superior demon, it did not even dare to struggle at all.
"Bang!"
The little devil's head suddenly exploded, and thick brains and purple-black blood splattered everywhere.
The anger on Leo's face eased slightly. He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and threw away the remains of the Quasai Demon.
The quasai demon next to it immediately rushed up impatiently and devoured its remaining body.
To demons, the flesh of fellow demons is equally sweet, and to some extent even more alluring.
Leo looked down at the bloody and chaotic scene, a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he sneered in a low voice.
"Hehehe
Just wait, Cassius, this will be your fate too. ”
In the dark night, the eyes of hundreds of thousands of demons flashed with ghostly light, and their harsh, irregular howls echoed across the wasteland. (End of chapter)
