Chapter 220 The curtain opens
Northern Continent, border city.

This is a city that has existed for hundreds of years, located on the edge of the northern continent, and seems somewhat out of place with other cities. The city walls are tall and solid, covered with traces of time and scars of war, and have witnessed countless storms and changes.

This was a city built during the Hundred Nations Alliance period to resist the invasion of the Blood Empire.

The Blood Empire had invaded the Northern Continent countless times, and their first stop was this city. Hundreds of battles had broken out between the two sides here, and the number of warriors buried in this land had already exceeded one million.

Before the Eternal Night Empire entered the Northern Continent, this city had never fallen no matter how powerful the army was, and it could be called the Wall of Sighs.

Even the Eternal Night Empire had to spend a lot of effort to capture the city. It mobilized the Sky Legion and sent out nearly 200,000 soldiers, and it took two full months to take it down.

After the Northern Continent changed hands, although a peace agreement was signed with the Blood Empire, the Eternal Night Empire did not weaken the defense of the city. Instead, it sent more troops and renovated and expanded the entire city.

The permanent garrison has reached 100,000, all of whom are first-class elite fighters.

The name of the city was also changed to Wangxi City.

What it means is self-evident.

On the other side of the strait, there is also a city. It was recently built by the Blood Empire. Its scale is no less than that of Wangxi City, and the permanent military force stationed there has reached as many as 200,000.

Although the two sides seem to be at peace in recent decades, in fact, they have never been truly stable. Although they have not had a large-scale war, small-scale conflicts have always occurred.

Conflicts involving hundreds or thousands of people often break out along the border, and deaths are common.

The border generals on both sides were well aware of this, but they did not care. Trade never stopped, and massive amounts of resources flowed into the Blood Empire every day.

……

late at night.

Reject North City.

On the city wall, groups of elite vampire warriors were patrolling. The soldiers on the watchtowers were watching the front in boredom, their eyelids already drooping.

"If I had known this job was so boring, I wouldn't have applied for it. I can't do anything. I might as well do patrol. At least I can chat with other people during patrol." The vampire warrior on the watchtower complained to his companions.

"Who says it's not true? It's been so many years. If the Eternal Night Empire wanted to fight, they would have done it long ago."

Another vampire warrior nodded in agreement and complained, "Also, over the years, the empire has built countless magic towers, so that the Western Continent is full of magic towers. They say that this is to resist the invasion of the Eternal Night Empire in the future, but who knows the reality? Anyway, so many years have passed, and the enemy's army has not moved."

"That's right. With so many resources, why don't we use them to build a magic tower? What's the use of that thing!" The more the vampire warrior looked at his companion, the more he liked him.

Why didn’t I realize before that this guy is so good at talking.

After a while, the vampire warrior who was observing the situation ahead said:
"Tell me, will we really go to war with the enemy in the future? I heard that the Eternal Night Empire is very powerful. Not only does it have millions of elite troops, but there are also real gods behind the scenes."

"Are you kidding? Haven't you seen the latest version of the map? The Eternal Night Empire is tens of thousands of miles away from us. Even if they really have millions of troops, can they outlast us?" Upon hearing this, the companion laughed out loud, "Don't worry. We may not be able to defeat them, but it is impossible for them to capture the Western Continent."

With the mutual trade between the two sides, the vampires, who were originally blocked from information, have a deeper understanding of the Eternal Night Empire. At least they know where the Eternal Night Empire is.

Anyone with a little common sense would not think that when the gap in strength is limited, one force can defeat another force across tens of thousands of miles.

The vampire warriors also thought so. Ever since they learned the distance between the Eternal Night Empire and the Blood Empire, they have no longer worried about the Eternal Night Empire.

Maybe one day in the future, they will indeed go to war, but it will never be a war of annihilation. At most, it will be like their attack on the Northern Continent. They will fight a local war for a period of time, and then give up when they find that they cannot advance.

Just as the two vampire warriors were chatting, dark clouds in the sky suddenly covered the bright moon. The surrounding environment instantly became dark and pitch black, and the vision was severely obstructed.

The vampire warriors didn't take it seriously, as it was just a normal change in the celestial phenomena.

Bang bang bang————
At this moment, loud noises came from the sky above the city, as if someone was knocking on the barrier of the world outside the world.

Before the vampires could react.

There was a loud explosion, and the entire sky collapsed in an instant, and a black hole with a diameter of thousands of meters emerged.

"Ow—"

"fire star!!!"

As a terrifying roar that made all the beasts submit sounded, countless burning meteorites fell from the black hole, like a meteorite rain from the sky, carrying the breath of destruction, and smashed towards the blood clan city.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Oh my god, True Ancestor! Defense magic circle, activate the defense magic circle quickly!"

"Help me..."

"Ruined!"

The vampire soldiers were terrified. They had never seen such a horrific scene.

"Calm down, everyone, calm down. Don't panic. It's just a meteor shower." The vampire general guarding the city reacted instantly, his eyes were red with anger, and he shouted, "High-level warriors, come with me, intercept these meteorites, and don't let them hit the city."

After saying that, he took off into the air with a group of high-level warriors, and bombarded the meteorites in the sky with attacks that were powerful enough to split mountains and cut rivers.

bang bang bang...

Huge meteorites were smashed into pieces, but some still fell into the city. Carrying destructive power, they smashed into the ground and caused a series of earth-shaking explosions.

The blood clan soldiers fled in all directions in the explosion, their screams and cries intertwined to form a tragic symphony. Some soldiers were dizzy and dazed by the shock wave and fell to the ground; some soldiers were cut by the flying fragments, bleeding and wailing miserably.

The interior of the city was a scene of doomsday. The once prosperous streets had now become dilapidated, houses had collapsed, and the streets were filled with broken debris and blood.

But this is just an appearance. In fact, the main force of the city did not suffer much damage.

For a sixth-order extraordinary warrior, unless he is extremely unlucky and happens to be in the core area of ​​the meteorite, he will only suffer minor injuries.

However, the attack was not over yet, or rather, the meteor shower just now was just a warm-up, and the real attack had just begun.

In front of the city, a dark crack a hundred feet long and wide appeared, and four extremely powerful figures flew out with dozens of strong men, all of whom were at least ninth-level beings.

These beings, without exception, are all human. The four demigods, Ye Zhan, Ye Mo, Chang Hao, and Long Kong, after decades of further training, broke through the ninth level and successfully reached the demigod level.

In order to break through the defense line of Jubei City, the Eternal Night Empire directly dispatched four demigods without any illusions. Their determination was so firm that all the vampires had not expected it.

As soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of the powerful vampires present.

"They are people from the Eternal Night Empire, stop them." A blood clan demigod shouted loudly, rushing straight towards the attacking black figure, sweeping his giant sword to stop it.

"These are true demigods. Infuse them with blood. Let's stop them first." A peak ninth-rank general directly drew on the city's stored scarlet energy. His realm leapt, his momentum grew, and soon he reached the demigod realm.

"Stop them, don't let them in."

One by one, the powerful vampires rushed out and flew towards the attacking human warriors and intercepted them one by one. They were all very aware of the destructive power of demigods. Once these powerful men from the Eternal Night Empire broke in, even if they were really beaten out later, they would not be able to save Jubei City.

Moreover, they had already seen the army of Eternal Night surging from the horizon in the distance.

Without its defense system, Jubei City would have no chance of withstanding the attack of the Eternal Night Army, and its fall would be an inevitable result. Therefore, this group of strong men had to be stopped no matter what.

"You two alone want to stop me? That's wishful thinking! Die!" Ye Zhan, wearing black armor and holding a semi-artifact halberd, was very fierce. His fighting spirit turned into a red and black slashing sword, which directly chopped the flying vampire demigod away.

"You weak demigods, you think you deserve to be called demigods? That's ridiculous!" Ye Zhan laughed wildly, and the halberd swept across again. A vampire in the Holy Realm not far away didn't even have time to react before his head shattered like a watermelon, and his mental consciousness was directly destroyed.

A powerful saint who was capable of dominating the entire plane had just died just like that.

"Despicable human, don't be so arrogant!!!" Roaring, the blood clan demigod who was knocked away rushed up at an even faster speed, and his momentum was three times stronger than before.

"Hey... this is quite interesting." Ye Zhan stared ahead with a cold smile: "However, if you are only at this level, it is far from enough to stop me!"

After saying that, he placed his other hand on the halberd, with a ferocious look on his face, and chopped the halberd down towards the half-god of the vampire clan.

The space was torn apart, and dark cracks appeared.

Zhan Mang crossed a thousand meters in an instant, without giving the blood clan demigod a chance to react, and came directly in front of Him.

“Stop it!!!” The blood clan demigod mobilized all the energy in his body and swung the scarlet giant sword in his hand.

bang——

There was a loud bang and a shocking explosion, which directly created a black hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters with the collision point as the center.

The combat power displayed by the demigod who was not suppressed was truly terrifying, far beyond the reach of the ninth level.

Ye Zhan didn't even look at the results of the battle. He kept swinging his halberd, slashing away with every blow. In the black hole, the scarlet giant transformed by the demigod of the blood clan was constantly torn apart, and then reassembled, and his breath became weaker and weaker.

"Die!" Another vampire demigod arrived from the direction of the city. Seeing his companions in danger, he ignored everything else and immediately attacked Ye Zhan.

"A troublesome guy." Ye Zhan frowned, and with a random strike of his halberd, he shattered the oncoming blood torrent and knocked the demigod away. However, taking advantage of this gap, the blood demigod who fell into the black hole also escaped.

The blood clan demigod, whose body had been repeatedly chopped to pieces and reconstructed more than a dozen times, looked a little weak and had an ugly expression on his face.

"Catello, are you okay?" The demigod who came from behind stood shoulder to shoulder with him and asked with concern.

"You won't die just yet."

Cartero shook his head and looked at Ye Zhan with murderous eyes. "Be careful, the guy opposite is not simple. If I remember correctly, he should be the commander of the Holy Legion of the Eternal Night Empire. The last time we met, he was only at the ninth level. I didn't expect that in just a few decades, he has already broken through to the demigod level, and has taken several steps on this road..."

"If we can't beat him, can we not hold him off? As we are both demigods, it won't be that easy for him to kill us. Once the army of Jubei City is reorganized, what can a demigod do? If he doesn't retreat, we will still surround and kill him!" The young vampire demigod sneered.

"What are you talking about? Die!" The dark fighting spirit in his body surged out, and Ye Zhan turned into a black stream of light. He rushed up again, swinging his spear down continuously, suppressing the two demigods so much that they could not raise their heads.

Even though the breakthrough happened not long ago, Ye Zhan's current combat power is already close to that of a high-level demigod.

And unlike the two vampire demigods, Ye Zhan has rich combat experience.

This combat experience does not refer to ordinary combat, but the experience of fighting with demigods.

He has been fighting in the void plane for many years and has challenged many demigods in night battles. In comparison, the blood clan demigod is not so good.

They had fought against those of the same level, but it was mostly just a brief exchange of ideas. There were almost no real life-and-death fights.

In a one-against-two situation, Ye Zhan firmly suppressed the two vampire demigods and was on the verge of winning.

On the other side, Ye Mo also suppressed two vampire demigods. Although his performance was not as ferocious as Ye Zhan's, his methods and moves were so strange that the two vampire demigods on the opposite side suffered terribly.

The other two newly promoted imperial demigods were just normal demigods. Although they were not as powerful as Ye Zhan and the other two, they also suppressed their respective opponents and gained a considerable advantage.

Throughout the battlefield, the empire's strong men fought against many enemies alone, and their performance was very strong.

But there was no point, as they were intercepted.

Even though they mobilized many times more powerful vampires, which was a bit embarrassing, but so what? They achieved their goal.

No powerful person from the empire broke into Jubei City.

Just when the commander of Jubei City breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to mobilize the army and deploy a defense system to drive out this group of powerful imperial warriors.

Inside the city, there were sounds similar to knocking on the door.

bang bang bang-

Everyone's face changed. They were very familiar with this voice. They had heard it once not long ago.

However, there was no time for everyone to respond.

bang——

Inside the city, the space collapsed directly, and a dark passage emerged.
