In the sky, the leading silver beast with a metallic luster all over its body waved its broad wings in the air, raising a cold hurricane and letting out a roar.
"Roar——"
"Devil! You don't belong here! In the name of Myhrvold, get back to the gutter of the abyss!"
"Shua——"
Accompanied by the whistling sound, the biting cold wind dispersed the heavy fog technique released by the Bazut demon, allowing these sheep-headed demons that shuttled through the fog to reveal their ferocious demonic bodies.
At this time, Bazut Demon also discovered the silver dragon in the sky.
"Ouch!"
"Kill these reptiles!"
But their eyes were already red with blood. They raised their heads and roared, spitting out foul-smelling saliva. The rotting hair was covered with dirty blood and minced meat, and was dotted with bullet holes, with purple-black pus and blood gurgling out of them.
They were wounded under fierce resistance from Imperial troops.
An injured bazut will enter a state of rage, attacking frantically until it or its enemies are dead, even against a more powerful silver dragon than the one given to it.
"It turns out to be the troublesome guy of Bazut.
It is rare for these mortals to be able to persist for so long without being defeated, and even kill one of them. ”
The silver dragon grasped his claws forward, and with the subtle fluctuations in the space, he took out a beautifully carved mithril scepter from the void.
He recited the ancient and complex dragon spell in a low voice, and the magic crystal inlaid on the top of the scepter suddenly released a dazzling light, illuminating almost the entire highland.
The silver dragon flapped its wings and stretched its neck: "Since you insist on invading the main material plane - then you must bear our anger and pay the due price!"
"The Tomb of Light (Dragon Language)!"
Along with the thunderous scolding, more than a dozen beams of light descended from the sky, projected onto the bodies of the Bazut demons, and formed illusory tombstones.
Under the holy light, gray smoke billowed out from the bodies of these demons, and their fur was scorched, making a burning sound.
"Ouch——"
The Bazut demons all let out painful wails, but could not move at all.
Their sinful nature is being judged by this spell, and the twisted, tall and thin demonic bodies are also nailed in place by the Tomb of Light.
"Destroy them now! Don't hold back against these dirty demons!"
The silver dragon roared and swooped down from hundreds of meters in the air with unparalleled ferocious momentum.
He is none other than the mature silver dragon from Myhrvoord, who has been on the front line against the invasion of the abyss all year round, the "Scale of Guards" - Ardrovil!
"Boom!"
Adrovil suddenly smashed into a Bazut demon, using his huge dragon body to smash the demon into bloody pieces.
He stepped on the demon's corpse, jumped up, and threw himself on the other demon that couldn't move.
The silver dragon vigorously waved its huge silver claws and chopped off the ram-like head and neck, causing it to roll to the ground.
"In the name of Myhrvold! Destroy the devil!"
A slightly sharp roar came, and another slender and winding dragon also landed on the ground. She spit out cold frost and directly froze a Bazut demon into ice.
The silver-white scales covering her body reflect beautifully in the light.
——This is the adult silver dragon of the Myhrvold family and the envoy representative of this cooperation, Jenny Heath, known as the "Pearl of Korda".
And behind them, another giant dragon with shining silver light descended from the sky and joined the chaotic battle group.
The silver dragons pounced on the Bazut demons and bit them, sweeping them with their thick giant tails, or swooping down at low altitude while spitting out frost breath, freezing the demons in pieces.
With the arrival of the Silver Dragon reinforcements, the battle situation turned around instantly.
The originally menacing demons were vulnerable to the overwhelming attack of the silver dragons. Even the powerful Bazut demons were easily eliminated.
After all, the Myhrvold Silver Dragons, headed by Adrovil and Jeannesis, have rich combat experience and are very familiar with how to restrain the heavy infantry of these demons.
"Look! Captain George is right, we can survive!"
"Great! It's reinforcements!"
"Counterattack!"
"For the Empire!"
The imperial soldiers entangled with the demon seemed to see the dawn of victory.
They also sounded the horn of counterattack, followed the silver dragons to charge, and killed the demons who were about to occupy the high ground.
Many soldiers were furious. They pounced on the demon like wild beasts, venting the long-repressed anger in their hearts.
Before the Silver Dragon reinforcements arrived, they fought really hard.
Relying on their powerful physique and magic-like abilities, the Bazut Demons almost achieved a unilateral crushing effect, and all their comrades who lived together day and night were mercilessly slaughtered.
And now, the chance for revenge has come.
"Kill these abyss bastards! Kill them all!"
"Revenge for the battalion commander!"
"Keep charging! Let them know how powerful we are!"
The war cries of imperial soldiers, the wails of demons, and the roar of silver dragons intertwined on the battlefield.
Adroviel waved his wings high in the sky, overlooking the chaotic battle situation.
He looked at the soldiers who were slashing wildly among the demons, and at the officers lying next to the corpse of the Bazut demon, and couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of army is really awesome"
He was silent for a long time before he found the most suitable adjective: "tough."
No wonder he was so shocked. Although these Bazut demons seemed vulnerable in front of the silver dragons, how many silver dragons were there in this continent and even in this world?
But for mortals, these legions of Bazut demons are a complete nightmare, a nightmare that brings death.
You must know that this is just the most ordinary infantry regiment in the empire. Except for their leader who has dragon veins, the others are all ordinary mortals who have only experienced military training.
Adrovil has experienced more than a dozen demonic invasions. When faced with demons of this level, the mortal armies of those countries almost collapsed at the first touch and had no intention of resisting at all.
These bazut demons can take away the lives of mortals with a single movement of their hands, and massacre an army of thousands of people, which is nothing more than a common occurrence for them.
But this army was able to compete with the demons with mortal bodies. This not only relied on sophisticated weapons, but also relied on their tenacious will.
While he was thinking, Jenny Heath's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Adroville, have you noticed that the scale of this invasion is unusual?"
Adroviel turned his head and saw his cousin looking into the distance with a solemn expression. He quickly followed her gaze.
At the end of the battlefield, among the undulating mountains, thousands of abyss dragon beasts waved their broken wings, covering the sky in the distance.
On the ground, huge abyss monsters such as giant bull demons, demon-hunting spiders, and abyss giants stepped forward, making the ground tremble. Millions more low-level demons swarmed in, rushing toward the empire's front like a raging tide.
Adroviel's eyes widened, his light blue pupils showing surprise.
"The consumption of cross-plane teleportation is very high. According to common sense, even the abyss lord cannot teleport a demon of this size to the main material plane.
Unless"
Janexis and Adrovil said in unison with a heavy voice: "This Abyss Lord has descended to the material plane in his true form." In the sky covered by the Abyss Dragon Beast, Quasai Demon, and Flo Demon, countless dense Black mist surged out, and a huge crack seemed to appear in the sky.
"Genesis, go and report to the elders in the clan! Gather allies from all over the place!
The intensity of this abyssal invasion far exceeds our expectations. This is no longer just an invasion against the Ember Empire. This is very likely to be a long-planned planar war intended to sweep across the material plane! ”
Adroviel shouted, and then led a dozen adult silver dragons to join the frontal battlefield. His dragon's face was full of anxiety and solemnity.
If the Abyss Lord's body is allowed to occupy the Ember Empire, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The artillery fire roared, setting off fierce explosions in the crowded demon group. Countless bullets, arrows and spells poured out like a torrential rain.
The imperial defense lines were extremely busy, with orderly soldiers shuttled in the trenches, and the sound of artillery fire was mixed with the urgent shouts of officers.
"Quick! Continue the fire attack! Never let up!"
"Cassius on top"
"Highland 26 was lost!"
However, this still cannot stop the devil's offensive.
In the demonic tide in the distance, spiders as big as male elephants stood on four hind legs, their eyes flashed with strange light, and thick venom dripped from their mouthparts full of fangs.
——That is a demon-hunting spider, a giant spider monster bred from the flesh of demons.
Not all constructs are made of inanimate stone, wood, metal, or dead flesh.
In the dark corners of the Great Beyond, certain powerful demon lords have mastered the art of sculpting the protoplasmic flesh of the Abyss into monstrosities.
They are lifeless, emotionless and have no sense of resistance - and the ugly demon-hunting spider is the most famous one.
Demon lords use demon spiders to seek out those who dare betray their faith or escape their servitude, and to keep lower-level demons loyal.
For the lords of the abyss, demon-hunting spiders are their precious possessions and are often used in the endless battles in the abyss.
But now, hundreds of demon-hunting spiders appeared on the battlefield!
These huge spider monsters are like moving fortresses, giving a huge impact to the empire's defense lines.
In the empire's position, Olivia, who transformed into a silver-haired girl, raised her staff, closed her eyes tightly, and recited dragon language spells.
"Dragon Star Group (Dragon Language)!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, meteors pierced the sky and fell into the demon group.
In an instant, countless beams of light shot out from the meteorite, and hundreds of demons were purified by the light. Black smoke emitted from their bodies and turned into charred remains.
She opened her eyes and looked at the huge spider monster moving rapidly in the distance, especially the twinkling compound eyes, and quickly reminded: "Get out of the way, it's a demon-hunting spider!"
Olivia tried to cast a protective spell, but it was too late.
"Shua——"
The demon-hunting spider's eyes shone with a strange light, and several dark gray beams of light shot out from them.
The hundreds of imperial soldiers who were swept by the beam of light all maintained their posture at that moment, and their movements were still.
They either raised their guns to shoot, opened their mouths to shout, or marched in a hurry, but their bodies all turned into stone sculptures!
That's the petrifying ray!
Olivia's brain was working rapidly, and she was constructing the spell model of [Removing Petrification] very quickly.
However, the other demon-hunting spider shot out two scorching flame rays from its eyes, directly sweeping over a large area of petrified soldiers.
"No"
Olivia shook her head sadly. She watched helplessly as the soldiers who were fighting bravely just now turned into rubble all over the ground in an instant.
And there was nothing she could do.
"I'll make them pay."
Olivia bit her silver teeth lightly, raised her staff again, and released the most powerful [Crown of Stars] she had mastered.
"Quick! Blow up those spider monsters! Don't let them release rays!"
"Requesting fire support, requesting fire support!"
The commanders of the empire also discovered the horror of these demon-hunting spiders.
They called the artillery in the rear and the dragon knights hovering in the sky, waiting for opportunities to bomb, and they continued to carry out targeted fire strikes.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Cannonballs fell one after another and exploded among the demons, but did not kill even a single demon-hunting spider.
These huge spider monsters use eight legs to move quickly on the ground and are difficult to hit.
They are made of the devil's hardest flesh and carapace, and are naturally resistant to fire. Unless it is a direct hit, it is difficult for ordinary explosions to effectively kill them.
"Boom!"
Another stream of flame rays shot out from the demon-hunting spider's eyes, directly piercing the thick city wall and killing all the imperial soldiers behind it.
Under the charge of the demon-hunting spiders, the demon army's offensive became more and more fierce, and some of the empire's defense lines had even been completely penetrated.
In the distance of the battlefield, Adrovil was leading a group of silver dragons to rush towards him. He was once again surprised by the scene on the battlefield.
"Why are there so many demon-hunting spiders?"
"This is really abnormal."
Janesis frowned, flapped her wings, and flew towards the place where the battle was most intense.
Adrovell said: "Jenesis, go remind Marshal Doro that those blue skins must be allowed to fight. This is also the only place where those dirty and greedy blue dragons can come in handy.
< br>
Our strength alone cannot stop so many demon-hunting spiders. ”
You must know that the last time the demon-hunting spiders appeared on the main material plane was fifty years ago. At that time, they chose the Cassander region of Holy Fadland as their target, and Adrovil also participated in that battle.
At that time, the Holy Fadland Empire was at its peak and had no fear of these demons.
Relying on the powerful steel golem army, they withstood the attack of the demon-hunting spiders, and then the divine power of the angel descendants destroyed these twisted spider monsters.
After all, the Burning Ember Empire is a new country. Without the profound magical heritage of Holy Fadlan, it would be difficult to create an important national weapon like the Iron Colossus.
Although the empire's army is powerful, it seems to Silver Dragon that there is little hope of resisting the attack of the demon-hunting spider army.
Janesis received a reply quickly, but her tone was a little surprised.
"Marshal Doro said
He already knows and is about to launch a full-scale counterattack, let us not worry"
"Boom——"
Just listen to the running sound of the engine, the sharp sound of the whistle, and the billowing steam permeating the battlefield, making the earth tremble slightly.
The silver dragons all looked at the battlefield, and saw the iron gate of the fortress opened, and giant steel beasts rushed out through the thick steam, leaving deep tracks on the ground.
That's an Imperial steam tank! (End of chapter)
