In the sky, the leading silver beast, whose body was shining with metallic luster, flapped its broad wings in the air, stirred up a cold hurricane, and let out a roar.

"Roar--"

"Demons! You don't belong here! In the name of Myhrvold, get back to the gutter of the abyss!"

"Shh-"

Along with a whistling sound, the biting cold wind dispelled the heavy fog released by the Bazut demon, allowing these sheep-headed demons that shuttled through the fog to reveal their hideous bodies.

At this time, Bazut also discovered the silver dragon in the sky.

"Ow!"

"Kill these creepers!"

But they were already blood-thirsty, roaring with their heads raised, spitting out foul-smelling saliva, and their rotten fur was covered with dirty blood and broken flesh, and was dotted with bullet holes, with purple-black pus and blood oozing out of it.

They were injured by the fierce resistance of the imperial army.

A wounded bazut will enter a state of rage, attacking frantically until it or its enemy is dead, and has no fear even when facing a silver dragon that is more powerful than it.

“It turned out to be a troublesome fellow named Bazut.

It is rare that these mortals could hold out for so long without being defeated, and even killed one of them. "

The silver dragon clenched his claws forward, and with the slight fluctuation of space, an exquisitely carved mithril scepter was taken out from the void by him.

He whispered an ancient and complex dragon language spell, and the magic crystal inlaid on the top of the scepter suddenly released a dazzling glow, almost illuminating the entire high ground.

The silver dragon flapped its wings and stretched its neck: "Since you insist on invading the main material plane, you must bear our wrath and pay the price!"

"Tomb of Light (Dragon Language)!"

Along with thunderous rebukes, more than a dozen beams of light descended from the sky, projecting onto the Bazut demons and forming illusory tombstones.

Under the holy light, gray smoke billowed out of the bodies of these demons, and their fur was burnt, making scorching sounds.

"Ow—"

The Bazut demons all howled in pain, but could not move at all.

Their sinful natures were judged by this spell, and their twisted, tall and thin demon bodies were nailed to the spot by the Tomb of Light.

"Now is the time to destroy them! Don't hold back when dealing with these filthy demons!"

The silver dragon roared and swooped down from a height of hundreds of meters with unparalleled ferocity.

He is none other than the mature silver dragon from Melward, the "Guardian Scale" who has been on the front line defending against invasions from the abyss all year round - Adrovile!

"boom!"

Adrovel suddenly slammed into a Bazut demon, smashing the demon into a bloody mess with his huge dragon body.

He stepped on the demon's corpse and leaped onto another motionless demon.

The silver dragon swung its huge silver claws vigorously, directly chopping off the ram-like head and neck, causing it to roll to the ground.

"In the name of Myhrvold! Destroy the demons!"

A slightly sharp roar was heard, and another slender and sinuous dragon also landed on the ground. She spit out cold frost and directly froze a Bazut demon into an ice cube.

The silvery-white scales covering her entire body reflected beautiful light under the brightness.

——This is the adult silver dragon of the Melward family, and also the envoy representative of this cooperation, Jenny Heath, who is known as the "Pearl of Korda".

Behind them, giant dragons covered in shining silver light descended from the sky and joined the chaotic battle.

The silver dragons pounced on the Bazut demons and bit them, swept them with their thick tails, or dived at low altitude and breathed out frost, freezing groups of demons.

With the arrival of the Silver Dragon reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield turned around in an instant.

The demons that had been coming with great momentum seemed vulnerable to the silver dragons' devastating attack, and even the powerful Bazut demons were easily dealt with.

After all, the Melward Silver Dragons led by Adroville and Jennysis have rich combat experience and are very familiar with how to restrain the heavy infantry among these demons.

"Look! Captain George was right, we made it!"

"Great! It's reinforcements!"

"Counterattack!"

"For the Empire!"

The imperial soldiers who were entangled with the demons seemed to see the dawn of victory.

They also sounded the clarion call for a counterattack, followed the silver dragons in the charge, and killed back the demons that were about to occupy the high ground.

Many soldiers were blood-thirsty. They pounced on the demons like wild beasts, venting the anger that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time.

Before the Silver Dragon reinforcements arrived, they fought in a very frustrating way.

The Bazut demons relied on their powerful physique and spell-like abilities to almost achieve a unilateral crushing effect, and their comrades who had been with them day and night were ruthlessly slaughtered.

And now, the opportunity 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 battle cries of the imperial soldiers, the wails of the demons, and the roars of the silver dragons intertwined on the battlefield.

Adrovir flapped his wings high in the sky, overlooking the chaotic battle.

He looked at the soldiers who were madly hacking and killing the demons, and the officer lying next to the corpse of the Bazut demon, and couldn't help but sigh: "Such an army is really..."

He was silent for a long time before he found the most appropriate adjective: "Tenacious."

No wonder he was so shocked. Although these Bazut demons seemed vulnerable in front of the group of silver dragons, how many silver dragons were there on this continent, or even in the world?
But for mortals, these armies of Bazut demons are a complete nightmare, a nightmare that brings death.

You have to know that this is just the most ordinary infantry regiment in the empire. Except for their commander who has a dragon vein, all the others are ordinary mortals who have only undergone military training.

Adroville has experienced more than a dozen invasions by demons. The mortal armies of those countries almost collapsed at the first touch when facing demons of this level, and had no intention of resisting at all.

These Bazut demons can take the lives of mortals with a wave of their hands, and slaughtering armies of thousands of people is just a common occurrence for them.

However, this army was able to fight against the demons with their mortal bodies. This was achieved not only by relying on sophisticated weapons, but also on their tenacious will.

As he was thinking, Jenny Heath's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Adroville, have you noticed that the scale of this invasion is not normal?"

Adroville turned around and saw his cousin looking into the distance with a serious expression. He quickly followed her gaze.

At the end of the battlefield, among the rolling mountains, thousands of abyss dragon beasts were waving their broken wings, covering the distant sky.

On the ground, giant bull demons, demon-hunting spiders, abyss giants and other huge abyss monsters took steps, causing the ground to tremble. Millions of low-level demons swarmed in, rushing towards the empire's front like a surging tide.

Adrovel's eyes widened, surprise revealed in his light blue pupils.

“The cost of inter-dimensional teleportation is very high. Normally, even the Abyss Lord cannot teleport demons of this size to the main material plane.

unless"

Jennysis and Adrovil said in unison with a heavy voice: "The Lord of the Abyss has descended to the material plane in his true form." In the sky obscured by the Abyss Dragon Beasts, Quasai Demons, and Flo Demons, countless thick black fogs poured out, and a huge crack seemed to appear in the sky.

"Jennis, quickly report this to the elders of the tribe! Gather allies from all over the place!
The intensity of this Abyssal invasion far exceeded our expectations. This is no longer just an invasion of the Burning Empire. This is very likely a long-planned dimensional war that intends to sweep across the material plane!"

Adrovil shouted loudly, and then led a dozen adult silver dragons to the front battlefield. His dragon face was full of anxiety and solemnity.

If the Abyss Lord's true body is allowed to occupy the Burning Empire, the consequences will be disastrous!
"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The artillery roared, setting off fierce explosions in the crowded demon group. Countless bullets, arrows and spells poured out like a rainstorm.

The Empire's defense line was extremely busy, with messengers shuttling back and forth in the trenches, and the sound of artillery fire mixed with the anxious shouts of officers.

"Quick! Keep firing! Don't let up!"

"Cassius above"

"Hill 26 has been lost!"

However, this still could not stop the demon's attack.

In the devil's tide in the distance, spiders as big as bull elephants were seen standing on their four hind legs. Their eyes were flashing with strange light, and sticky venom was dripping from their fang-filled mouthparts.

——That is the Demon Hunting Spider, a giant spider monster bred from the flesh and blood of the devil.

Not all constructs are composed of inanimate stone, wood, metal, or dead flesh.

In the dark corners of the Great Beyond, some powerful demon lords are masters of shaping the protoplasmic flesh of the Abyss into deformed works of art.

They have no life, no emotions, and no sense of resistance - and the ugly demon hunting spider is the most famous one among them.

Demon lords use demon hunters to find those who dare to betray them or escape their enslavement, and to keep lesser demons loyal.

To the Lords of the Abyss, Demon-Hunting Spiders are their valuable possessions, and are often used in the endless battles within the Abyss.

And now, there are hundreds of demon-hunting spiders on the battlefield!

These huge spider monsters were like moving fortresses, causing a huge impact on the empire's defenses.

Inside the Empire's camp, Olivia, transformed into a silver-haired girl, raised her staff, closed her eyes, and chanted dragon spells.

"Dragon Star Group (Dragon Language)!"

"boom!"

Suddenly, meteors streaked across the sky and fell among the demons.

In an instant, countless beams of light shot out from the meteorite, and hundreds of demons were purified by the light. Black smoke emerged from their bodies and they turned into charred remains.

She opened her eyes and looked at the huge spider monster moving rapidly in the distance, especially its flashing compound eyes, and quickly warned: "Get out of the way, it's a demon-hunting spider!"

Olivia tried to cast a protective spell, but it was too late.

"Shh-"

There was a strange light flashing in the demon-hunting spider's eyes, and several dark gray beams shot out from them.

The hundreds of imperial soldiers who were swept by the beam of light all maintained the same posture at that moment, their movements frozen.

They were either shooting with guns, shouting, or marching in a hurry, but their bodies had turned into stone sculptures!
That's the petrifying ray!

Olivia's brain was working rapidly, quickly constructing the spell model of [Remove Petrification].

However, two blazing flames shot out from the eyes of the other demon-hunting spider, sweeping across a large number of petrified soldiers.

"No"

Olivia shook her head sadly. She watched helplessly as the soldiers who had been fighting bravely just a moment ago turned into rubble on the ground in an instant.

But she was powerless.

"I will make them pay."

Olivia gritted her teeth, raised her staff again, and released the most powerful [Crown of Stars] she possessed.

"Quick! Blow up those spider monsters! Don't let them release the rays!"

"Requesting fire support, requesting fire support!"

The commanders of the Empire also discovered the terrifying nature of these demon-hunting spiders.

They called on the artillery in the rear and the dragon riders hovering in the sky, waiting for an opportunity to bomb, and continuously launched targeted fire strikes on them.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Shells fell one after another and exploded among the demons, but failed to kill even a single demon-hunting spider.

These massive spiders scurry across the ground on their eight legs and are difficult to hit.

They are made of the toughest flesh and shells of demons and are naturally resistant to fire. Unless they are hit directly, ordinary explosions can hardly cause effective damage to them.

"boom!"

Another series of flames shot out from the demon-hunting spider's eyes, directly piercing through the thick city wall and killing all the imperial soldiers behind it.

Under the charge of the demon-hunting spiders, the offensive of the demon army became more and more fierce, and even some of the imperial defense lines had been completely penetrated.

In the distance of the battlefield, Adrovel was leading a group of silver dragons and rushing over. He was once again amazed by the scene on the battlefield.

"How come there are so many demon-hunting spiders?"

"This is really abnormal."

Jennysis frowned, flapped her wings, and flew towards the place where the battle was most intense.

Adrovelle said: "Jennihis, go and remind Marshal Doro that those blueskins must be sent into battle. This is the only use of those dirty and greedy blue dragons.

We can't stop so many Demon-hunting Spiders with our strength alone."

You should know that the last time the Demon Hunting Spiders appeared in the Prime Material Plane was fifty years ago. At that time, they chose the Cassander area of ​​Holy Fadlan as their target, and Adrovil also participated in that battle.

At that time, the Holy Fadlan Empire was at its peak and had no fear of these demons.

Relying on their powerful army of iron golems, they withstood the attacks of the demon-hunting spiders, and then used the divine power of the angel gods to destroy these twisted spider monsters.

However, the Burning Ash Empire is a new country after all. It does not have the profound magical foundation of Holy Fadlan, so it is difficult to create a national weapon such as the Iron Colossus.

Although the Empire's army is powerful, Silver Dragon believes that there is little hope that it can withstand the offensive of the Demon Hunting Spider Legion.

Jenny Heath received a reply quickly, but her tone was a little surprised.

Marshal Dolo said
He already knows and is about to launch a full-scale counterattack, so let's not worry."

"boom--"

All that could be heard was the sound of running engines and sharp whistles, billowing steam filled the battlefield, and the earth was shaking slightly.

The silver dragons all looked towards the battlefield, only to see the iron gates of the fortress open and giant steel beasts rushing out, breaking through the thick steam and leaving deep tracks on the ground.

That's the Empire's steam tank! (End of this chapter)
