"Boom!"
There was another deafening noise.
At the commander's command, more than a dozen steam tanks opened fire in unison, using their main guns to bombard one point at the same time, wiping out thousands of demons from the earth in an instant.
A huge gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the demon group.
The steel behemoth drove straight in with surging steam, knocking countless demons away with its huge steel ramming horns, and then crushing them with unstoppable force.
"charge!"
"Counterattack the Abyss!"
Accompanied by loud trumpets, the Empire concentrated the forces of seven divisions to launch a surprise attack from the center. Hundreds of thousands of Imperial soldiers, led by steam tanks, broke into the enemy camp, forming a cone-shaped offensive.
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The artillery fire roared, and the artillery in the rear used firepower to cover the advance and deployment of the infantry and steam tanks.
The steam tanks charged into the enemy camp with unstoppable force, relying on the powerful magic steam cannon to eliminate the most powerful giant bull demons and demon hunting spiders.
The infantry followed the steam tanks to provide support, blocking attacks from the sky and flanks, and clearing obstacles in front of them. They used powerful firepower to shoot at the abyss dragon beasts and floating monsters that descended from the sky.
The coordination of the Burning Empire's infantry, tanks, and artillery has begun to show results, and with the addition of many extraordinary powers, the empire's offensive has become even more fierce.
The wizard continued to cast spells in the rear, and all kinds of flames, lightning, and light crisscrossed on the battlefield, easily destroying the demons.
After initially gaining air superiority, the Burning Dragons flew over the demon group again and again, dropping powerful white phosphorus bombs and causing huge explosions.
The Dragon Paladins also marched steadily, like a moving fortress, clearing away the most powerful monsters that stood in the way of the Empire's offensive.
For a time, under the fierce counterattack of the empire, these demons were actually on the verge of collapse, and the lines of the Abyss Legion were ruthlessly broken and torn apart.
"Ow—"
A huge slaughter demon stood in front of the steam tank, waving its mantis-like limbs to cut the armor on the outside of the car body.
However, not far away, the imperial soldiers kept shooting at it, and the torrential rain of bullets poured down on the exoskeleton armor of the Slaughterer, making clanging sounds.
More arrows with armor-piercing, purification and other effects were shot out from the distant group of players and pierced directly into the body of the Slaughter Demon.
Fireballs, lightning, and acid poured towards the Slaughterer. All types of spell energy almost gave the huge demon a bath.
"Where's the spellcaster? Keep up the damage! Cover the tank daddy!"
"Die, big bug!"
"For the Empire!"
"Ow!"
The Slaughter Demon roared towards the sky and destroyed the tanks even more frantically, trying to vent its desire for killing.
At this moment, a loud dragon roar was heard from the sky.
"Roar--"
Even the Slaughter Demon was frightened by the dragon's might. He stood there in panic, his whole body trembling slightly.
I saw a dozen Red Scale Conquerors swooping down with unstoppable momentum.
Under the powerful kinetic energy of diving from high altitude, the lances pierced through the shell of the slaughter demon and penetrated its torso and limbs.
The leader of the Red Scale Conquerors, Alger, swung the Everburning Greatsword in the air. With the sound of flesh and bones being cut, he chopped off the Slaughter Demon's head cleanly.
"For the Empire!"
The wyverns circled in the sky, roaring loudly again. At this moment, they almost occupied the sky.
Those deformed floating monsters were no longer able to hunt the wyverns—because dozens of real dragons were constantly hunting them.
"Ow—"
With a roar, a twenty-meter-long white dragon pounced on an abyss monster.
She first used her sharp claws to cut open the huge body soaked in mucus, and then spat out extremely cold frost into it.
With a low wailing sound, half of the monster's body was frozen into ice. It fell from the sky and finally hit the ground, turning into frozen meat fragments all over the ground.
"Moo-"
The giant bull demon took heavy steps, picked up a huge rock on the ground, and threw it out, crushing many imperial soldiers.
"careful!"
"Let's do a flesh wound! Quick!"
Facing the swarming Starfall Legion, the Giant Bull Demon's eyes turned red and smelly hot air spewed out of its nostrils.
It first raised its hoof, then stomped down suddenly, pressing all the terrifying weight to the ground.
"boom!"
The earth cracked and the ground shook, and dozens of players were trampled to death on the spot by the crazy giant bull demon.
The giant bull demon got on all fours, rubbing its hooves and continuing to charge like a huge bull, trying to crush everything in front of it.
However, standing before it were not the fragile mortals as imagined, but dragon-loving holy warriors holding giant shields, wearing heavy armor, and arranged in a tight formation!
"boom!"
The giant bull demon slammed into the formation fiercely, but did not break a single giant shield, nor did it shake their tight formation, nor did it even make the dragon-loving paladins utter even a scream.
The blazing flame chains bound them together tightly, sharing all the impact from the front. The power of the dragon flame burned the body of the giant bull demon, leaving scorch marks on its fur.
The giant bull demon glared with angry eyes, looking down at these ignorant "little guys" in front of him, feeling extremely puzzled.
According to the little experience in its walnut-sized brain, these human-like creatures should have been easily crushed by it and fled away.
Why didn't its power crush these tiny mortals?
Why are they not afraid?
However, at this moment, the dragon-loving holy warriors looked up at the giant bull demon, with fire surging in their golden eyes, revealing a certain excitement.
"kill!"
Anthony raised the huge shield in his hand and ordered with a stern look in his eyes: "Kill this demon! Place its head on the altar and sacrifice it to the Dragon Lord!"
"Blood sacrifice to the Dragon Lord!"
"Kill it!"
The dragon-loving paladins all let out a fanatical war roar and raised their spears and swords.
Suddenly, the offensive reversed.
The dragon-loving paladins formed a tight formation to surround the giant bull demon, thrusting out spears from different directions. The sharp spear tips with flames pierced the giant bull demon's fur, leaving it covered with wounds.
Another holy warrior in the back row raised his sword, and flames fell from the sky, landing on the head of the giant bull demon, wrapping around it and burning it.
"Ow—"
In just a moment, the giant bull demon let out a painful wail, struggled frantically, and blood flowed from all over its body.
"Becoming the Dragon Lord's sacrifice will be your last honor in this life!"
However, Anthony suddenly leaped up and threw his spear into the air, directly piercing the chest of the giant bull demon, piercing the beating heart that was surging with the power of the abyss.
"boom!"
The giant bull demon, which was more than ten meters tall, fell down with a loud bang, causing the ground to crack and raising clouds of dust.
You should know that giant bull demons of this size are extremely rare even in the abyss. They are regarded as valuable siege weapons and darlings on the battlefield by the Lords of the Abyss.
But now, this giant bull demon died in the chaotic battlefield, under the siege of the dragon-loving holy warriors.
"Everyone, you're doing great."
"The Dragon Lord observes everything in the world with his eyes. At this moment, He is watching your brave and fearless performance." Anthony walked forward surrounded by the holy warriors, drew the long sword behind him, and chopped off the huge bull's head cleanly.
The dragon-loving holy warriors present all stretched out their hands towards the head, and immediately, wild flames wrapped around the head and burned it.
In the end, the giant bull demon's head disappeared completely, leaving no ashes, but the flames on the ground became even more vigorous, and a dragon-shaped shadow roared in it.
——Obviously, it has been sacrificed to His Majesty by the Dragon Holy Knights.
At this moment, surrounded by many high-level demons, on the back of the huge abyss monster as big as a hill.
Leo, or the Demon Commander, stared at the imperial army approaching from a distance and the overwhelming and fierce offensive.
He was about to bite his teeth off, and his turbid eyes were filled with uncontrollable hatred.
“It’s like this again.”
"It happens again! This damn bunch of trash can't even be destroyed by a bunch of lowly mortals!"
The scene before him reminded Leo of the unforgettable war ten years ago that destroyed everything he had.
His men were also an army that thought they would never fail, while the Empire was also launching fierce artillery fire and devastating offensives.
Only this time, both they and the empire have become more powerful.
"Damn it. Damn it!"
"I have the power of the Great Abyss this time. How could I lose to a group of mortals?"
Raging tongues of fire spewed out from Leo's eyes, powerful pressure spread, and the chaotic power of the abyss danced wildly in the air.
Red and black flames spurted out from the ground, burning many unlucky demons on the spot, and all the demons around them trembled with fear.
"Master Leo is angry."
"Hahaha, they're going to pay the price!"
"How dare these foolish mortals provoke such a demon!"
There were whispers among the demons.
Leo Bossk, the agent of Jerrazax, is known as the "Spirit of Vengeance".
During the years since he was transformed into a demon, he represented the will of Jelrazax, devoured millions of despicable and filthy souls in the abyss, and accumulated tremendous power of the abyss.
And his strength has reached an unprecedented level. It is said that with the help of the Demon of Vengeance, he can rival some Abyss Lords.
"boom!"
Leo Bossk suddenly jumped off the back of the abyss monster, raising clouds of dust on the ground.
"Casius——"
He raised his head and roared at the sky at the top of his lungs.
The burning fire of revenge shot out from the demon's eyes, purple-black blood vessels suddenly bulged, raging flames burned on his body, and pungent sulfur smoke surrounded him.
The ferocious and strong figure became increasingly larger, and the wings behind it became increasingly wider.
"I know you're watching all this! You should be terrified and honored that I'm here."
"Because - I will tear apart your army, destroy your empire, and destroy everything you have! Just like you once did to me!"
The majestic roar echoed on the battlefield, drowning out the sound of artillery fire and making everyone on the battlefield feel deafening.
"Who's talking!"
"This is unforgivable blasphemy!"
Anthony roared in anger, and the dragon-loving paladins were also outraged, as if their beliefs were being trampled upon.
"What the hell? Such a big scene, is the ultimate boss coming?"
"Wait, I think his lines sound a little off!
Thinking about the previous plot, this thing could be the previous version of the prison lion, right? "
The players discussed with some curiosity, and some even guessed the origin of the demon commander.
"He's going to take action!"
"There is no way these mortals can stop an angry commander!"
The demons laughed hoarsely and frantically, looking forward to it.
Whether they were demons, humans, tieflings, hobgoblins, blue dragons, or ogres, all of them focused their attention on the source of the sound.
A nearly twenty-meter-tall demon made of fire and flesh and blood broke through the surging smoke and appeared in the sky. Its hideous and terrifying appearance was like a nightmare in everyone's heart.
He had long black horns on his head, and his skin was as scarlet as the exposed flesh of a bokay epidermis.
"boom--"
The demon stretched out his strong arms, wielding a flaming whip in his right hand and taking out a crackling storm sword from the chaos with his left hand.
The broad bat wings flapped slowly, stirring up a scorching gale, and fierce, dazzling flames spewed out of his eyes, making him look like the incarnation of the god of destruction.
This is the Balrog, the being standing at the top of the abyss, the embodiment of the abyss's will of destruction and killing.
"revenge--"
"destroy--"
The Balrog roared once more, then flapped its broad wings, swept across the earth, and arrived at the most intense front line of the battle.
"Get out of the way!"
"He's coming!"
Looking at the fierce and unstoppable Fire Demon, the imperial officer hurriedly reminded.
But it was too late.
The Balrog wielded the Storm Sword, the huge sword was wrapped with thunder, the edge of the sword was hidden in the dazzling lightning, and it slashed directly at the army of the empire.
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Mighty thunder swept across the earth, intersecting between those fragile bodies and engulfing hundreds of people in an instant.
The terrifying storm of sharp blades split a steam tank into two pieces on the spot, causing it to explode violently, killing dozens of soldiers nearby.
"fear--"
The Balrog opened its bloody mouth and roared again.
He swung the flaming whip in the air, and then lashed it towards the empire's dragon beast army.
"Snapped!"
A giant whip several dozen meters long came flying through the air, as if tearing a hideous red crack in space.
"Ow—"
Along with the wailing of the giant beasts, more than a dozen ground dragon beasts were whipped by the long whip and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Huge scars appeared on their torsos, and those huge bodies were almost broken in two. The wounds were still burning with the chaos fire of the abyss.
Thunder and fire raged on the battlefield. Cracks appeared across the earth and scorching fire emerged from the gaps in the earth.
"see it?"
"This is the insignificance of mortals! This is the power of the abyss!"
The Balrog roared wildly in the sky, reaping lives wantonly like the god of death. (End of this chapter)
