Countless two-legged flying dragons and fire dragons swooped down from the sky, attacking the abyss dragon beast with unstoppable force.
The loud dragon roar brought endless pressure, which made the abyss dragon beasts tremble in their hearts and feel the fear coming from deep in their blood.
The scorching flames singed the skin of the abyss dragon beasts, and the sharp lances pierced their bodies mercilessly.
In an instant, the abyss dragon beasts that had been so aggressive just now were submerged by the red torrent. After a round of charge, they fell from the sky one after another, while the dragons of the empire raised their necks and roared.
"Boom!"
The sound of the cannon was earth-shaking, drowning out the noisy roars of the demons.
And on the anxious main battlefield, the confrontation between tanks and demons continued. After suffering tragic casualties, the demons soon discovered the weaknesses of the steam tanks.
They used demons such as Quasai, Flo, and Kas that could fly flexibly in the air to besiege these "iron lumps", continuously spraying highly corrosive acid on their tops.
More abyss dragon beasts descended from the sky, tearing the tank's armor along the gaps and spewing black fire at the body of the tank.
"Buzz-"
A thick scarlet fog seemed to appear in the sky, and countless disgusting black larvae-like creatures flew through the air with their tiny red insect wings, making a dizzying buzzing sound.
Their buzzing can give people splitting headaches and brain confusion, and they can only become their food in pain and confusion.
——They are demonic swarms, aggressive, cruel and bloodthirsty creatures that devour all the creatures they encounter and destroy their habitats.
At this moment, the buzzing sound easily penetrated the armor and entered the cockpit, causing great pain to the imperial soldiers in the vehicle.
At this moment, these demon bees rushed into the steam tank through the torn gaps in the armor.
"Whoo-"
The steam tank's emergency magic system was automatically triggered, and powerful electromagnetic pulses were released on the surface of the tank, causing countless demon bees to fall from the sky.
But the demon bees circling around the tanks were only a part of it, and were nothing compared to the swarm of insects that filled the battlefield.
The machine guns on top of the steam tanks burst into flames, pouring out terrible firepower, but until the barrels overheated, they were unable to stop the invasion of the demon bees.
Soon, accompanied by a series of tiny noises, the crazy demon bees bit out a channel in the armor gap of the steam tank and poured into the cockpit.
“They’re coming in!”
"Do not--"
"Shoot! Shoot!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Faced with the demon bees swarming into the tank, the soldiers in the tank fired panickedly, but this had no effect on the swarm.
"Damn it, bullets don't work on them!"
"No, don't come over here—"
They were soon overwhelmed by the crazy demon bees and turned into bones amidst the creepy gnawing sounds.
"monster"
"I will fight you, for the Empire, for His Majesty Cassius! This is the glory of the Istalia!"
The human tank commander's eyes were red, he pounded his chest heavily, and waved his arms and shouted almost crazily.
At the last moment when the swarm was about to drown him, the commander pushed the joystick to the bottom with a grim look on his face and pressed the red button marked "Emergency Self-Destruction Procedure" hard.
The steam tank rushed directly into the group of demons like a mad bull, and its bloody metal horns smashed countless demons into pieces.
Then, sparks and steam began to spew out of the whistle on top of it, and the high-pressure boiler inside let out a violent whistling sound, before finally exploding completely.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by an unprecedented roar, the steam tank suddenly exploded.
A huge mushroom cloud and a dazzling fireball appeared on the ground. The terrible explosion engulfed everything within a hundred meters around it. The surging steam and fierce heat waves swept across the entire battlefield.
When the white smoke dissipated, the ground was charred black, with wisps of blue smoke rising out, and the wreckage of the steam tank was scattered everywhere.
Holes with a diameter of tens of meters appeared on the surface, with magma flowing.
The pit was filled with the charred remains of the cowards, and tens of millions of demon bee colonies were completely annihilated. Even the demon bee queens that roamed here were ruthlessly swallowed up by the earth-shaking explosion.
However, the battle continued. The demon bee colony that was destroyed was only a small part of it. In the distance, there was another buzzing sound. The huge queen bee was flying slowly under the swarm of attendant bees.
The Third War Zone Command Post.
Dolo looked at the huge mushroom cloud rising in the distance with a frown on his face.
The dragon-veined hobgoblin clenched the giant axe in his hand, and narrowed his dim yellow eyes slightly: "It's really unexpected that the steam tank would be damaged so quickly."
Behind him, a deep, rich voice came: “Dolo, I told you a long time ago.
This demon invasion is not like the previous small-scale fights, nor is it a game where you can win military merits.
It is a test for the entire Burning Empire."
The tall and strong figure walked slowly out of the shadows, and the shadow cast by him almost covered Dolo. The scepter engraved with the emblem of burning embers gleamed brightly in the dim firelight.
——That was the Prime Minister of the Empire, the first of his followers to become a legend, the Ogre Master Rumple.
Trump reminded calmly: “Put aside all the internal disputes for now.
This demon invasion requires all members of the empire to work together to deal with it. Your Majesty has been planning this for several years. "
"As an Imperial Marshal, I can certainly prioritize, my dear Trump 'Lord'."
Dolo nodded slightly, as if agreeing with the ogre's statement, but he still emphasized the last two words.
He nervously watched the still intense battle and whispered, "But now, the number of demons is too large.
Bullets and shells are being thrown out like crazy, and the cost of the war has far exceeded our expectations."
He raised his head and stared coldly at Trump's ugly face: "Trump, if you continue to be deadlocked like this...
In less than ten days, we will be running low on supplies.
In less than half a month, the demons will most likely break through the walls of your proud empire and invade the core areas of the empire."
Trump also looked at the magical images all over the battlefield, and saw that the cowards were still rushing towards the defense line one after another, the demon-hunting spiders were shuttling across the land, and the giant bull demons were taking heavy steps.
In the sky, Quasai Demons, Flo Demons and Abyssal Dragons were flying in a disorderly manner, while the demon swarm was spreading like haze.
Compared with the previous few days, the empire's firepower has weakened a lot and can no longer achieve the effect of "cannon fire washing the ground".
They can only rely on steam tanks and the flesh and blood of the imperial soldiers to stop the advance of the demons.
Fortunately, the number of players in the Burning Empire has also increased significantly. Three million players with infinite resurrection are no less powerful than the seemingly endless army of demons.
After thinking for a long time, Trump raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile: "You are right.
The Ogre Grand Mage raised his staff, and countless balls of light surrounded him, among which were the Red Scale Conquerors, Dragon-Favored Paladins and many other followers - representing the important forces of the empire.
"Perhaps, the real counterattack should begin. I believe Your Majesty is also looking forward to this moment."
"boom!"
Lonely Ruxue raised a huge shield to block the abyss fireballs descending from the sky and protected several mage teammates behind him.
Dark red sparks still splashed onto his face, and the flames containing evil energy burned black spots on his face, causing considerable damage - but he no longer had time to care about this.
"Ow—"
The cowardly demons and the babu demons screamed and rushed towards the players' positions frantically, and pounced on Lonely as Snow.
"Damn it, is this ever going to end!"
"Bang!" Lonely Ruxue swept the giant shield with all his might, and then slammed it to the ground, neatly smashing more than a dozen demons into meat patties.
The Babu demon behind him picked up a sharp spear, a hideous grin appeared on his thin red face, and he raised the spear, trying to sneak attack the human in front of him.
But the holy warrior didn't even look at it. He picked up the Babu demon like a chicken, 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 surrounded him from all directions, almost drowning him.
"Hurry up, I can't take it anymore!"
In the fierce fight, Lonely Ruxue couldn't help but complain: "These broken things are everywhere. I won't get much experience even if I kill them."
Charlotte floated in the air, holding the staff tightly in her hand and chanting a spell.
"Chain Lightning!"
Almost in an instant, accompanied by a "hissing" sound, bright arcs of electricity jumped among the demons, turning all the cowardly demons in the path into charcoal.
The demons howled in pain, black smoke came out of their bodies, and they fell down in groups. The hundreds of demons in front of them were instantly wiped out.
Lonely Ruxue, whose face was also charred by the electric shock, climbed up from the pile of demon corpses and pointed at the black shadow in the distance and shouted, "Quick, kill that sheep-headed monster!"
"This thing keeps casting spells and can summon monsters. It's disgusting!"
"I come!"
The flying witch took a step forward and released a beautiful rainbow under the expectant gaze of everyone.
"Shh-"
The rainbow passing across the sky is exceptionally beautiful, but that’s all.
"."
Everyone fell silent immediately.
The so-called "sheep-headed monster" roared in the distance.
Its skin is as pale as that of the dead, its hair is rough and black, and its hooves are blood red like purgatory - this is actually a blood-hoofed demon, a monster created by the "Undead King" Orcus.
The Bloodhoof Demon waved the scepter decorated with a skull, and suddenly, poisonous smoke filled the battlefield, and one after another, dead demons crawled up from the ground.
"Be careful! It's the Death Cloud Technique!"
Charlotte raised her staff and summoned hurricane-force winds to disperse the poisonous smoke.
The flying witch finally stopped triggering the wild magic wave. She released a series of blazing fireballs, blasting the resurrected demons into charcoal.
The vice president of Magic Coin, Mingyue, pointed his staff at the Bloodhoof Demon in the distance and recited a spell quickly.
"Lightning beam!"
"boom!"
A dazzling beam of lightning shot out from the end of the staff and pierced through the blood-hoofed demon. The goat-headed demon twitched a few times on the ground and then became motionless.
Lonely Ruxue kicked away the demon corpse at her feet and whispered, "Is this going to end?"
He had been fighting the demons on the battlefield for several days in a row. Although he gained a lot of experience and contributions every day, he was already a little tired of such battles.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow descended from the sky.
"Get away!"
Teammates quickly reminded.
Lonely Ruxue dodged instinctively, and the giant, spear-like foot suddenly stabbed down, piercing deeply into the rock.
Lonely as the Snow raised his head, and first saw four pairs of slender legs, and then densely packed compound eyes that were flashing with faint light.
"What the hell"
A gray ray flashed, and Lonely Like Snow was hit directly, turning into a motionless rock sculpture.
Charlotte shouted anxiously, "Get out of the way! It's a demon-hunting spider!"
"Don't get hit by its magic rays!"
After several days of fighting, the players have gained a certain understanding of these demons and have made a clear classification of their degree of danger.
The demon-hunting spiders were obviously classified as the most dangerous ones. Without the support of steam tanks, dragon-scale monks, etc., it would be difficult to escape from the claws of these spider monsters.
The huge spider monster attacked the mages. Charlotte raised her staff without hesitation, and the magic crystal on the top of the staff flashed with a light red light.
[Monster Immobilization]
He was lucky, and the terrible monster was pinned to the spot.
"Now, attack!"
The mages quickly released various output spells, throwing fire, ice, acid, and lightning at the demon hunting spider as if they were free.
But protected by its hard, magic-resistant shell, the Demon Hunting Spider didn't suffer much damage at all.
"Wow, what good meat!"
"No, we have to pull a meat shield first!"
Charlotte used the Phantom Step to flash in front of Lonely Ruxue and touched his body, which had turned into a stone statue.
[Remove Petrification]
The rocks on LonelyRuxue's body gradually disappeared, and the first thing to return to its original state was the face.
He gasped and cursed: "This demon hunting spider is really disgusting, I haven't reacted yet."
Charlotte said very quickly: "Excuse me, Lonely Ruxue, please help us stop the spider monster that is about to break free from our control!"
He waved his staff, and Lonely Ruxue, whose body was still made of stone, flew up and landed directly in front of the demon hunting spider.
"Nima."
Lonely as the snow looked at the struggling demon-hunting spider, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Could it be that he couldn't escape the fate of being a meat shield?
Apart from the demon-hunting spider in front of them, Lonely Ruxue, Charlotte and others looked into the distance and saw the abyss dragon beast circling in the sky, the giant bull demon walking on the ground, and the Bazut demon roaring and moving forward.
Apparently, they were unlucky enough to run into a major attack by the demons.
"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 lightning descended from the sky, piercing through the demon-hunting spider in front of it.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Fuck, that's fierce!"
Lonely Ruxue raised her head and saw in the sky, huge blue dragons spread their wings, spewing out thunder like waterfalls, casting huge shadows on the ground.
That's the blue dragon of the Faria family!
The female blue dragon in the front was a little slender, but the lightning she spewed out was just as powerful. The lightning that just pierced through the demon hunting spider was caused by her.
——This blue dragon is Christina, the envoy sent by the Faria family. (End of this chapter)
