Countless bipedal flying dragons and flame dragons swooped down from the sky and attacked the abyss dragon beast with unstoppable power.
The loud roar of the dragon brought endless pressure, making the abyss dragon beasts tremble and feel the fear coming from the depths of their blood.
The hot tongues of fire scorched the skin of the abyssal dragon beasts, and the sharp lances pierced their bodies mercilessly.
In an instant, the abyss dragon beasts that were just coming menacingly were submerged by the red torrent. After a round of charge, they fell from the sky one after another, while the empire's dragons roared.
"Boom!"
The sound of the cannon was earth-shattering, drowning out the noisy roar of the devil.
On that anxious main battlefield, the confrontation between tanks and demons continued. After experiencing painful casualties, the demons soon discovered the weaknesses of steam tanks.
They use demons that can fly flexibly in the air, such as Quasai Demons, Flo Demons, and Cas Demons, to besiege these "iron lumps" and continuously spray extremely corrosive acid at their tops.
Another abyssal dragon beast descended from the sky, tearing apart the tank's armor along the gaps and spitting black fire towards the body.
"Buzz——"
A thick scarlet fog seemed to appear in the sky, and countless disgusting black larva-like creatures flew through the air with their tiny red insect wings, emitting a dizzying buzz.
Their buzzing can cause splitting headaches and brain confusion, and you can only become their food in pain and confusion.
——They are demon swarms, aggressive and cruel creatures that will devour all creatures they encounter and destroy their living areas.
At this moment, the buzzer easily penetrated the armor and entered the cockpit, causing great pain to the Imperial soldiers in the car.
At this moment, these demon bees rushed into the steam tank through the torn gaps in the armor.
"嗗——"
The emergency magic system of the steam tank was automatically triggered, and a powerful electromagnetic pulse was released on the surface of the tank, causing countless demon bees to fall from the sky.
But the Demon Bees surrounding the tank were only part of it, and were not worth mentioning compared to the tide of insects that filled the battlefield.
The machine guns on the top of the steam tanks burst into flames, pouring out terrifying firepower, but until the barrels overheated, they could not stop the invasion of the Demon Bees.
Soon, with a thin sound, the crazy demon bees gnawed a passage through the gaps in the armor of the steam tank and poured into the cockpit.
"They're coming in!"
"No——"
"Shoot! Shoot!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Facing the demon bees pouring into the vehicle body, the soldiers in the tank fired in panic, but this had no effect on the swarm.
"Damn, bullets are useless against them!"
"No, don't come over -"
They were soon swamped by the crazy demon bees and turned into bones amidst the creepy gnawing sounds.
"Monster"
"I will fight with you, for the empire, for His Majesty Cassius! This is the glory of the Istalia!"
The human commander's eyes were red. He beat his chest heavily and raised his arms and shouted almost crazily.
At the last moment when the swarm was about to overwhelm him, the commander pushed the joystick to the bottom with a ferocious expression and fiercely pressed the red button marked "Emergency Self-Destruct Program."
Like a mad bull, the steam tank crashed directly into the demon group. The blood-stained metal horn smashed countless demons into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, sparks and steam continued to pour out from the whistle at the top, and the high-pressure boiler inside emitted a violent scream, and finally exploded completely.
"Boom!"
With an unprecedented roar, the steam tank suddenly exploded.
Huge mushroom clouds and dazzling fireballs appeared on the ground. Terrifying explosions engulfed everything within a hundred meters. Roiling steam and intense heat waves swept across the entire battlefield.
When the white smoke dissipated, the ground was scorched black, wisps of green smoke emerged, and the wreckage and fragments of steam tanks were scattered everywhere.
A crater with a diameter of tens of meters and flowing magma appeared on the surface.
The pit was filled with the charred remains of the cowardly demons, and the tens of millions of demon bee swarms were completely annihilated. Even the demon bee queens who haunted this place were ruthlessly devoured by this earth-shattering explosion.
However, the battle is still going on, and only a small part of the demon swarm has been wiped out. There is another buzzing sound in the distance, and the huge female worm is flying slowly surrounded by the servant bees.
The third theater command post.
Doluo frowned as he looked at the huge mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
The dragon-veined goblin clenched the giant ax in his hand and narrowed his dim eyes slightly: "It's really unexpected that the steam tank suffered losses so quickly."
Behind him, a low, rich voice came: "Dolo, I told you a long time ago.
This time the demonic invasion is not a trivial fight like before, nor is it a game where you can win military exploits.
It is a test for the entire Burning Ember Empire. ”
The tall and muscular figure slowly walked out of the shadows, casting a shadow that almost enveloped Doro. The scepter engraved with the burning emblem shone brightly in the dim firelight.
——That is none other than the Prime Minister of the Empire, the first family member to enter the legend, the Ogre Archmage Rumple.
Trump reminded lightly: "Let all internal disputes be put aside for the time being.
This demonic invasion requires the joint response of all members of the empire. You must know that His Majesty has been planning for this matter for several years. ”
"As the Imperial Marshal, of course I can understand my priorities, dear 'Lord' Trump."
Doluo nodded slightly, seeming to agree with the ogre's statement, but he still deliberately emphasized the last two words.
He nervously watched the still fierce and anxious battle situation and whispered: "But now, there are too many demons.
Bullets and artillery shells were thrown out as if they were free. The consumption of the war had far exceeded our plan. ”
He raised his head and stared coldly at Trump's ugly face: "Trump, if this stalemate continues
Within ten days we will be running out of supplies.
In less than half a month, the demons are likely to break through the walls of your proud empire and invade the core area of the empire. ”
Rumple also looked at the magical images everywhere on the battlefield, and saw that the cowardly demons were still rushing towards the defense line one after another, the demon-hunting spiders shuttled across the ground, and the giant bull demons took heavy steps.
In the sky, Quasai Demons, Flo Demons and Abyss Dragon Beasts were flying messily, while demon swarms spread like haze.
Compared with the past few days, the empire's firepower has become much weaker, and it can no longer achieve the effect of "cannons washing the ground".
They can only rely on the flesh and blood of steam tanks and imperial soldiers to stop the demon's advance.
Fortunately, the number of players in the Ember Empire has also increased significantly. The three million players with unlimited resurrections are not inferior to the seemingly endless demon army.
After pondering for a long time, Trump raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile: "You are right.
The Ogre Archmage raised his staff, and countless light groups surrounded him. Among them were the Red Scale Conquerors, Dragon-affiliated Paladins and many other dependents - representing important forces of the empire.
"Perhaps the real counterattack should begin. I believe His Majesty is also looking forward to this moment."
"Boom!"
Lonely Ruxue raised his giant shield to block the abyssal fireball falling from high in the sky, protecting several mage teammates behind him.
Black-red sparks still splashed into his face, and the flames containing evil energy burned black spots on his face, causing considerable damage - but he had no time to care about it.
"Ouch——"
The Coward Demon and the Babu Demon screamed and rushed toward the player's position crazily, jumping on Lonely Ruxue's body.
"Damn it, it's never over!"
"Bang!" Lonely Ruxue swept across with his giant shield, then slammed it to the ground, smashing dozens of demons into meat pies.
The Babu Demon behind picked up a sharp spear, with a sinister smile on its thin red face. It raised its spear and wanted to sneak attack the human in front of it.
But the paladin didn't even look at it. He lifted up the Babu Momo like a chicken with his claws, then smashed it to the ground and crushed it under his feet.
But the number of these low-level demons was increasing, and hundreds of demons were surrounding him from all directions, almost drowning him.
"Hurry up, I can't hold it anymore!"
During the fierce hand-to-hand fight, Lonely Ruxue couldn't help but complain: "These crappy things are everywhere, and you don't have much experience even if you beat them to death."
Charlotte was suspended in mid-air, holding the staff in her hand and chanting the spell.
"Chain Lightning!"
Almost instantly, accompanied by the sound of "呲呲", shining arcs of electricity danced among the demons, electrocuting all the timid demons on the path into coke.
The demons let out painful wails, and black smoke erupted from their bodies. They fell in pieces, and the hundreds of demons in front of them were immediately wiped out.
Lonely Ruxue, whose face was also charred by the electricity, climbed up from the pile of demon corpses, pointed at the black shadow in the distance and shouted: "Quickly, kill that sheep-headed monster!"
"This thing keeps casting spells and can also summon monsters. It's so disgusting!"
"I'll do it!"
The Flying Witch took a step forward and released a beautiful rainbow under the expectant eyes of everyone.
"Shua——"
The rainbow streaking across the sky was extraordinarily beautiful, but that was all.
"."
Everyone fell silent immediately.
The so-called "goathead" roared in the distance.
Its skin is as pale as the dead, its hair is rough and black, and its hooves are as red as purgatory - this is actually a blood hoof demon, a monster created by Orcus, the "King of the Immortal".
The Bloodhoof Demon waved the scepter decorated with skulls. Suddenly, poisonous smoke filled the battlefield, and another long-dead demon climbed up from the ground.
"Be careful! It's the Death Cloud Technique!"
Charlotte raised her staff and summoned gusts of hurricane force to blow away the poisonous smoke.
The Flying Witch finally stopped triggering the wave of wild magic. She released blazing fireballs, blasting the resurrected demons into charcoal.
The vice-president of Magic Coin, Ming Yue, pointed her staff at the Bloodhoof Demon in the distance and recited the spell quickly.
"Lightning beam!"
"Boom!"
A dazzling bolt of lightning shot out from the end of the staff and penetrated the blood-hoofed demon. The goat-headed demon twitched a few times on the ground and then stopped moving.
Lonely Ruxue kicked away the demon corpse at her feet and whispered: "Is this still over?"
He has been fighting demons on the battlefield for several days. Although he has gained a lot of experience and contributions every day, such battles have made him a little tired.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow fell from the sky.
"Get away!"
His teammates quickly reminded him.
Lonely Ruxue dodged instinctively, and the giant spear-like feet suddenly stabbed down, piercing deeply into the rock.
Lonely Ruxue raised her head and first saw four pairs of slender legs, followed by densely packed compound eyes that flashed with a faint light.
"What the hell"
A gray ray flashed, and Loneliness was hit directly like snow, turning into a still rock sculpture.
Charlotte shouted anxiously: "Get away! It's a demon-hunting spider!"
"Don't be hit by its magic ray!"
After several days of fighting, players have gained a certain understanding of these demons and made a clear distinction between their danger levels.
Demon-hunting spiders are obviously classified as the most dangerous. Without the support of steam tanks, dragon-scale monks, etc., it will be difficult to escape from the claws of these spider monsters.
The huge spider monster attacked the mages. Charlotte raised the staff without hesitation, and the magic crystal on the top flashed with a light red aura.
【Monster Holding Technique】
Fortunately for him, the terrifying monster was held in place.
"Now, attack!"
The mages quickly released various output spells, throwing fire, frost, acid, and lightning on the demon-hunting spider like nothing.
But protected by the hard, magic-resistant carapace, the demon-hunting spider didn't suffer much damage at all.
"Wori, what a meat!"
"No, we have to pull up a human shield first!"
Charlotte used her wandering step to appear in front of Lonely Ruxue, and touched his body that had turned into a stone statue with her hands.
【Removing petrification】
The lonely, snow-like rocks on the body gradually fade away, and the first thing that changes back to its original shape is the face.
He gasped and cursed: "This demon-hunting spider is really disgusting, I haven't even realized it yet."
Charlotte said extremely quickly: "Excuse me, Lonely Ruxue, help us block the spider monster that is about to break free of control!"
He waved his staff, and Lonely Ruxue, whose body was still stone, flew up and fell directly in front of the demon-hunting spider.
"Nima."
Lonely Ruxue looked at the demon-hunting spider struggling violently, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Could it be that he couldn't escape the fate of being a human shield?
In addition to the demon-hunting spider in front of them, Lonely Ruxue, Charlotte and others looked into the distance and saw the Abyss Dragon Beast hovering in the sky, the Giant Bull Demon walking on the ground, and the Bazut Demon roaring and advancing.
Apparently, they were unlucky enough to run into a major demon attack.
"Roar——"
Suddenly, a hoarse dragon roar came from the sky, and the air was filled with the smell of sand.
"Boom!"
A huge bolt of thunder descended from the sky, directly piercing the demon-hunting spider in front of it on the spot.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
“Damn, it’s so fierce!”
Lonely Ruxue raised his head and saw huge blue dragons spreading their wings high in the sky, spitting out waterfall-like thunder and casting huge shadows on the ground.
That's the blue dragon of the Faria family!
The female blue dragon at the front is slightly slender, but the thunder she spits out is no less powerful. The lightning that penetrated the demon-hunting spider just now was caused by her.
——This blue dragon is Christina, the envoy sent by the Faria family. (End of chapter)
