Chapter 246: Overwhelming Gap
Halfway up the mountain.

The Gugra tribe is a multi-racial tribe composed mainly of the Fire Demon Dark Serpents.

The entire tribe is entrenched on the mountains and has nearly 200,000 tribesmen. Among them, the number of extraordinary high-level strongmen has reached an astonishing three digits, and there are also several strong men in the holy realm. It is a veritable overlord force.

It was late at night, and the tribe was illuminated by glowing crystals and bright moonlight. Most of the tribesmen had returned home, either to rest, practice, or work hard for the tribe's inheritance.

In the center of the tribe, a huge altar stands, with complex runes and patterns carved on it, which seem to tell the history and legends of the Gugra tribe. Whenever there is an important ceremony or celebration, the residents of the tribe will gather here to pray to the great ancestors for a good harvest and protection.

At the edge of the tribe, there is a wide training ground, which is the main place for warriors to train their martial arts and exercise their bodies. Due to the small number of tribesmen, the Gugra tribe attaches great importance to the education of its members and starts training them from an early age.

Several snakemen warriors were guarding the watchtower, activating the reconnaissance magic circle on the tower from time to time to investigate the situation in the distance to avoid being attacked by the enemy without knowing it.

Although the Gugra tribe is the real dominant force in this mountain range, it does not mean that they have no enemies. Under the Gugra tribe, there are still many second-level monster forces eyeing their position, always wanting to pull them down and replace them.

So even though the tribe grew stronger, the Gugra tribe never let down its guard and always remained in awe.

On the outskirts of the tribe, teams of monsters led by snake men are patrolling.

hum-

The sky suddenly darkened and thick clouds obscured the moon.

"This is."

Feeling the information sent back by the reconnaissance magic, the snakeman warrior on the watchtower was a little confused at first, but then he realized that it was an enemy invasion and his face changed instantly.

He hesitated for a moment, then sounded the alarm.

"Enemy attack!!!"

A fiery red light lit up on the watchtower, and then a strange wave spread in all directions, covering the entire tribe in a very short time. In an instant, the entire tribe was in motion.

One by one, powerful snakemen woke up, rushed to the sky and looked into the distance.

In the distant sky, streaks of light that almost blended into the darkness were rushing towards the Gugra tribe at an extremely fast speed.

The Dark Jackal leader saw this and smiled. "It seems like we've been discovered. We're quite alert. Now the raid has turned into a direct battle. Hahaha."

"You're still laughing. I told you not to try to save trouble. We'll come over slowly, they won't be able to find us. But you insisted on launching a surprise attack, and now you've been discovered." The Jackal Deputy Commander beside him glanced at him and said unhappily.

Having said that, he didn't pay too much attention to the snake man's actions, he just thought it was just a little more trouble.

Obviously, he was extremely confident in his own strength. Even if they couldn't catch their opponents off guard, they would still win, and win big.

"Alright, alright, there's no point saying these things now. We've already discovered it, so we can only fight hard. It doesn't make much difference anyway. We've already come here, so let's just discover it!" Another jackal deputy commander said with a chuckle.

"Okay! Brothers, charge over and kill these ignorant guys." Following the order from the jackal leader, nearly two hundred dark lights rushed towards the Gugra tribe, three times faster than before.

"Stop them."

The snakeman chief did not sit still and wait for death. Before the dark light fell, he rushed forward with the high-level warriors of the tribe and fought directly outside.

At the same time, the jackal warriors who had been marching secretly on the ground no longer hid their whereabouts, revealed their figures, and rushed towards the Gugra tribe.

"According to my Lord's will, I grant you death!"

The jackal leader had a ferocious look on his face and shouted loudly, while slashing down the holy dark long sword in his hand, slashing at the snakeman chief who was flying forward.

The power of darkness surged out, blessing the long sword like a field.

The dark blade energy shattered the space and instantly arrived in front of the Snake Man Chief. The Snake Man Chief suddenly felt something was wrong and felt a fatal threat from it.

I thought he was just an ordinary Saint Domain expert, but I didn't expect him to be at the ninth level, a top expert who was only one step away from transcendence.

"The true form of the demon snake! Protection from the demon flame!"

The snakeman chief roared and his blood was activated. Ancient magic patterns appeared on his body. Then his body suddenly grew larger. Fine red and black scales shone with light, like a piece of armor, wrapping him tightly.

Black flames surrounded his body and then formed a huge shield in front of him.

"Get out of my way!"

Roaring angrily, the snakeman chief mobilized all his energy and fought against the dark sword energy.

With a loud bang, the sky suddenly exploded, and the terrifying energy aftermath spread in all directions, directly blasting some high-level warriors away and disrupting the formations of both sides.

The shield was split in half, and the sword energy struck the huge body of the snakeman chief, knocking him flying and crashing to the ground, directly creating a huge deep pit on the earth.

"Clan leader!"

"Adra!"

The warriors of the Gugra tribe were very frightened when they saw their family leader being knocked away at the first sight. In contrast, the reaction of the jackal warriors was that they saw their leader showing great power and their morale was boosted before they even fought.

"The boss is mighty!"

"Kill them!"

At this moment, a red light shot up into the sky.

"Roar--"

With a roar, the snakeman chief rushed out of the deep pit with a giant sword in hand, and then fought with the jackal leader. The long knife and the giant sword kept clashing and colliding violently, like a thunder, and the terrifying energy spread around.

Two ninth-order extreme warriors fought against each other, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

The Jackal Leader had indeed gained a lot of strengths, and could even comprehend the laws of darkness for a long time, but even so, he did not gain much advantage.

Because the snakeman chief on the opposite side is not a good guy either. He is also a genius that the tribe has rarely seen in hundreds of years. Let’s put it this way, in terms of talent alone, he is even stronger than the jackal leader in front of him.

None of the creatures who can be promoted to the ninth level of the holy realm are simple.

However, although he stopped the jackal leader, the snakeman chieftain could not be happy, and even looked very unhappy.

As a powerful demon snake with ancient blood, he actually fought to a standstill with a gnoll of a lower race. This was simply an insult to him.

And it doesn’t matter if I don’t have an advantage.

The same happened to the other tribesmen. At this moment, a violent collision occurred between the high-level warriors of both sides. The fight was very intense, with warriors constantly bleeding and some even turned into corpses and fell to the ground.

Whether in terms of quantity or quality, the dark gnolls have the advantage.

The combination of their own hard power, weapons and equipment, and other advantages has created a crushing momentum.

A strong man from the Gugla tribe was injured or even killed.

And within the tribe on the ground, a battle was also going on.

"kill!"

Nearly 15,000 Dark Jackal warriors rushed into the Gugra tribe and engaged in a fierce battle with the defending warriors here.

The jackal warriors did not form a legion, but formed small groups of three or five, and then started killing in the Gugra tribe, killing the guards one by one. Facing the fierce jackal warriors, these elite snake warriors seemed a little vulnerable at this moment.

"Sacrifice your lives to my Lord!"

A jackal warrior swung his sword with a cold light, and the snakeman warrior in front of him was immediately split in half. Blood gushed out and splashed all over the jackal warrior's face.

"This is the blood of a living creature before it dies. It tastes really good! Haha!" After licking the blood on the corner of his mouth, the jackal warrior let out an excited strange laugh.

"Ah! Angora!!! You lowly jackal, you deserve to die!" Another snakeman warrior became furious when he saw his companion being killed. He swung his snake tail and rushed forward, swinging his giant sword down at the jackal warrior.

"The anger of the weak is ridiculous." The jackal warrior showed disdain and sneered. In his eyes, the movements of the snake man opposite were so slow that the opponent's anger seemed particularly ridiculous.

The long sword swung out, and the one who was struck later arrived first.

Cold light flashes.

A huge head flew out.

The headless body slowly rushed forward and then fell down.

"kill!"

"According to my Lord's will, I grant you death!"

"Death is your end!"

"You lowly snake people who dare to reject the glory of my Lord deserve to die! Use your lives to atone for your sins to my Lord!"

"It is your honor to be offered as a sacrifice to the great and supreme king!"

Even though the number of warriors of the Gugra tribe was almost five times that of the Jackal Warriors, they had almost no power to resist the attack of the Jackal Warriors.

In fact, this is normal.

The warriors of the Eternal Night Empire have expanded a lot on the path of the sixth level, so that their extraordinary sixth-level warriors are much stronger than the sixth-level warriors of other forces.

Without sufficient qualifications to break through to the seventh level, they can only continue to strengthen themselves, going further and further on the road to the sixth level, so that their own combat effectiveness can be brought into full play.

If classified according to the legion level, then the jackal warriors on the scene are at least at the level of sixth-order guards, while most of the snakemen warriors are ordinary sixth-order, with a small number reaching the level of sixth-order elite.

The overall difference is two small levels. It would be really strange if it could be blocked.

What's more, not all of Gugra's warriors have reached the sixth level.

Whether it was a duel between high-level warriors or a fight between ordinary warriors, the Gugra tribe was completely at a disadvantage and could hardly be said to have the ability to fight back.

Looking at the entire battlefield, we can see a strange phenomenon: the higher the extraordinary rank, the smaller the gap between the two sides.

In the battle of the ninth-level Holy Realm, although suppressed, it was still fought back and forth. In the battle of the eighth-level Legendary Realm, he was basically suppressed and had little ability to fight back. As for the seventh-level Epic Realm, the Jackal Warrior could kill without any injury.

Not to mention the sixth level, it was a one-sided massacre.

From this we can draw a conclusion that the bonuses of the Eternal Night Empire have less effect, as the level of the extraordinary rank increases.

After all, for those who can reach that level, how could it be simple?

The battle was quickly decided. The jackal warriors easily defeated the Gugra tribe with their overwhelming advantage and killed more than half of their warriors. The once powerful Gugra tribe was directly declared destroyed.

Savage plains.

On the endless plain, the wind was howling, blowing up gusts of dust, and the sky was gray, as if a rainstorm would fall at any time.

Tread-

The sound of hooves was like thunder, deafening.

A neat group of black-armored cavalry came galloping from the distant horizon. They were neat and united, and maintained order even when running.

They were wearing the empire's finest equipment, and their mounts were the world's top magical horses. There was no doubt that this was a powerful legion.

"The enemy is ahead, charge!"

Following the order from the legion commander, the speed of the Black Cavalry Corps increased by three times and headed towards the target ahead, a huge orc barbarian tribe.

Soon, the target came into sight.

"Enemy attack!"

The guards of the barbarian tribe also discovered the approaching black-armored army, and the orcs standing on the high wall issued a warning.

The defensive equipment was activated, and powerful magic arrows were shot out one after another, attacking the Black Armor Legion like a rain curtain.

The soldiers of the Black Armor Legion didn't care and allowed the arrows to attack them.

ding ding ding-

The arrows hit the black-armored warriors, but failed to even break the fighting spirit shields outside their bodies.

Under the horrified gaze of the orcs, the Black Armored Legion attacked like a tide, getting closer and closer, until it arrived under the city. The Black Armored Legion did not stop. The legion commander at the front held a knife in both hands, and then shouted angrily, and slashed out with a terrifying blow that tore through the sky.

"Open it for me!"

The black-armored legion commander roared.

"No!"

On the city wall, a group of orc warriors looked at the attack that was like a natural disaster, their faces turned pale and they shouted hoarsely.

boom--

The shouts of the orc warriors did not change the cruel reality. The sturdy city gate and the city wall were split in half.

Dozens of high-level orcs who stepped forward to resist were directly turned into blood foam, without even leaving their corpses.

The slash destroyed the city gates and walls, and then flew hundreds of meters away, destroying everything in its way, leaving a long and narrow slash mark on the ground of the city.

The black-armored cavalry rushed into the city through the gap, and a bloody massacre began. Screams echoed throughout the city.

The orc legion warriors who were so famous in this plain were extremely vulnerable when facing these black-armored warriors and were no match for them.

When the killing stopped.

Rivers of blood flowed and corpses littered the fields.

Such scenes were played out all over the Eternal Night Plane. The legions of the Eternal Night Empire launched a bloody suppression of the newly expanded territories.

The empire's territory expanded rapidly, and the territory it actually controlled also became larger and larger.
