Chapter 520 Consumption

In front of the live demonstration by the Berserker leader, these usually reckless Berserkers finally stopped and wandered outside the minefield.

These extremely warlike and simple-minded guys are not afraid of death, but they also cherish the opportunity to enter the main material plane - the berserkers enjoy the ultimate pleasure brought to them by destruction and killing.

But they didn't expect that the bombing in the sky was not static, and the safe haven they thought of could be struck by thunder at any time.

Behind the Imperial Wall, the Burning Empire's artillery corps immediately adjusted the elevation of their artillery fire to cover the location of the Berserker Corps.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The earth was shaking, artillery fire was raging, shrapnel flashing with dazzling golden light was flying everywhere, and dozens of berserkers fell on the spot.

"Ah - damn material world bugs!"

The berserkers wailed and roared, but were powerless to resist, which made them feel extremely aggrieved.

There is an extremely dangerous minefield in front of them and waves of cowardly demons behind them. They have nowhere to hide.

Moreover, the shells falling from the sky this time were even more terrifying, with each shrapnel emitting golden light - they were shells tempered with holy water and carried the power of glory.

"This disgusting smell—"

“Damn it, it’s holy water!”

The shrapnel soaked in holy water easily cut through the Berserker's armored skin, and the holy explosion engulfed the Berserker's sturdy and ugly body.

"Shua——"

Rays of light like the sun bloomed in the air, making the bombardment quite sacred.

This batch of ammunition was produced by the Ministry of Science and Technology in cooperation with Ingrid, the Empire's specially appointed priest. It is specifically targeted at evil creatures and is called the "Exorcism" series of ammunition.

However, after a few rounds of bombardment, the aggressive Berserker Demon Legion suffered heavy losses, and less than half of the demons retreated back into the demon tide.

Leo raised his head and looked at the dense firepower network in the sky, then looked down at the minefield full of dangers and landmines, and suddenly became furious.

Half a day had passed, and he hadn't advanced the front line at all!

You know, transporting such a large number of demons is also a huge cost for the Abyss and Jelrazak. If the empire cannot be destroyed as soon as possible,
His own fate will never be good.

The Burning Empire's tactics of fire coverage and minefield blocking are indeed very effective, but their opponents are the Demons of the Abyss!

He could completely rely on the numerical advantage of the cowards to force his way through the minefield and eventually break through the empire's defenses.

Thinking of this, Leo Bossk raised his whip, spread the broad and strong wings behind him, and roared at the low-level demons.

"charge!"

"Crush the enemy in front of you!"

Waves of fiery ripples expanded rapidly with Leo as the center. The terrifying pressure of the high-level demon was completely released, causing all the lower-level demons to tremble.

Driven by this instinct of surrender, the cowards marched in the fierce artillery fire, and they rushed towards the minefield one after another like a tireless wave.

"Ow—"

Sharp, noisy screams came from the demonic tide, containing hatred for all things. When countless demons screamed at the same time, even the most powerful creatures would tremble.

But unfortunately, there were no enemies in front of them, and these demons were greeted only by intensive explosions.

"boom!"

The arcs of artillery fire in the sky intertwined, forming a dense fire network. One shell after another exploded in the group of demons, turning thousands of cowardly demons into dust in an instant.

But this time, under Leo's control, these cowards became even less afraid of death.

They turned a blind eye to the explosions around them and the broken bodies of their own kind, and as long as they had breath, they would move forward tirelessly and endlessly.

There was even a coward whose right arm and both legs were cut off by shrapnel.

It was seen dragging its torso with its only remaining arm, moving slowly on the charred ground, still struggling to move north - until the flying shrapnel cut off its head.

Even for those cowards who managed to break through the artillery blockade, their fate would not be much better, and might even be more miserable.

"boom!"

As soon as a coward stepped onto the land, the mine under its feet suddenly exploded, causing the soil to splash everywhere.

Under the fierce explosion, the coward 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 cowards risked their lives to step into the minefield, and were soon killed by mines. Some demons even triggered cluster bombs, dragging hundreds of cowards around with them to be buried with them.

"Dang, Dang, Dang"

The dull sound of horse hooves and the friction of metal armor could be heard, and demons shaped like knights passed through the artillery blockade and galloped across the wilderness.

These monsters have the muscular bodies of horses, but the arms and faces of sickly humans.

Their upper bodies were pale and bloody, oozing with painful pus, and thick horns protruded from their foreheads.

It was wearing a complex, pitch-black full-body armor, with a few tufts of short, hard hair peeking out from the gaps in the armor.

——These are the Iron Knights, they are demonic heavy cavalry that charge towards the enemy camp with uncontrollable bloodlust and rage, often galloping across the wasteland, bringing death to all creatures they can see.

The leader of the Iron Cavalry Demons led many of them to shuttle across the battlefield, avoiding explosions again and again.

They were lucky, as they rushed for hundreds of meters without triggering the mines.

"Kill, kill them!"

The Iron Knight waved his flails wildly, trying to show his prowess on the battlefield - but the commander-in-chief did not notice the impending danger.

"Shh-"

The tripwire hidden in the weeds suddenly rose up, but the Iron Cavalry Demon, who was charging at high speed, didn't notice it at all and was tripped to the ground.

"Damn it!"

It rolled several times, raising clouds of dust on the ground.

However, immediately afterwards, the Iron Knight Demon felt a cold metal touch under its torso, and its expression suddenly changed.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Iron 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 charcoal, and they fled in separate directions.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding landmines were triggered one after another, and the Iron Cavalry Demons that followed were also annihilated in the flames, leaving only the charred ground.

"Ow—"

The Quasai demons flapped their wings high in the sky and flew hard towards the wall of the empire, forming a dark cloud-like demon tide in the sky.

In order to avoid the intersecting artillery fire in the sky, they flew to an altitude of hundreds of meters, trying to cross this impenetrable line of defense in this way.

But inside the walls of the empire, the anti-aircraft soldiers stroked the two cold, nearly four-meter-long barrels of the anti-aircraft guns, pressed the firing mechanism, and showed eager smiles.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang"

A crisp sound that was somewhat different from the previous artillery fire was heard.

One shell after another rushed into the sky, trailing dazzling flames, followed by even more brilliant explosions.

The arcs of these artillery fire were far more dense than those of the previous heavy artillery, playing a concerto of death in the sky.

In an instant, countless Quasai demons were engulfed in flames, and their charred, shapeless bodies fell from the sky.

Similar things have happened countless times throughout the day. Those demons who try to break into the empire's defenses always end up in a miserable end.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The intensive bombardment continued without a moment's pause, and all the ammunition accumulated by the empire over the years was poured onto the demons.

Moreover, in this state of national war preparation, almost all the imperial factories were producing ammunition day and night. These supplies were continuously transported to the south by train, providing strong logistical support for the Imperial Wall.

By the time the sun set and the sky darkened, the wasteland had become devastated, with scorched earth and bomb craters everywhere on the ground.

In the areas where the artillery fire was most intense, the hills were flattened, and the corpses of demons filled the ground, even stacked in several layers to form new "soil".

From day to night, under the empire's fierce bombardment, the demon army spent a whole day without breaking through the empire's defense line.

In the night, rays of light streaked across the sky, interweaving into a dense network, illuminating the ground as if it were daytime.

——However, this was just a mutual test between the two sides. The Empire was testing the power of its weapons, while Leo Bossk was using the cheapest demons to consume the Empire's artillery shells.

“You will be destroyed”

In the dark night, surrounded by a group of demons, Leo looked at the brightly lit walls of the empire in the distance with a distorted face, and chaotic firelight flashed in his eyes.

For the demons transformed by Jelrazax, hatred is the source of their power.

And this former Grand Duke Bosk 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 demon with unstable flying flapped its wings and swayed into his sight.

Leo looked annoyed. He casually pinched the head of the Quasai Demon. Veins bulged on his thick arms, and the five red fingers gradually exerted force.

"Ow~"

The Quasai demon howled in pain, but due to the suppression of the upper demon, it dared not even struggle.

"boom!"

The little devil's head suddenly exploded, and sticky brain matter and purple-black blood splattered everywhere.

The anger on Leo's face eased a little. He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and threw away the remains of the Quasai demon.

The nearby Quasai demon immediately rushed over impatiently and devoured its remaining body.

To demons, the flesh and blood of fellow demons is just as sweet, and even more tempting to some extent.

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 happen to you too."

In the dark night, the eyes of hundreds of thousands of demons flickered with dim lights, and their harsh, irregular howling echoed across the wasteland. (End of this chapter)
