Chapter 5: Before the Great War
A lot of things happened in Heming in 178, and everything was not small, but in the vast continent, it was only a small wave.
But if someone can gather all the information about the ruins at the same time, I am afraid that something is about to happen, and many things left over from ancient times are revealed like reefs after the tide has receded.
Unfortunately, there is no one in this vast world who can do this.
If someone can count all the information about the Demon Protector at the same time, I am afraid that they will be able to find that because something is about to appear, the already extremely difficult cultivation is becoming easier and easier.
In the past thousand years, if a demon protector can advance to the realm of commander, he has already deserved the title of "master", and the number of demon resistors who have embarked on the road of legend is extremely rare.
But recently, the Demon Protector has begun to climb towards the Legendary and even the Immortal Shadow Spirit, and the threshold for breaking through the realm has begun to loosen, and the advancement has begun to become easier and easier.
It's a pity that, apart from a handful of hidden forces, no one seems to have discovered this amazing state of affairs.
Because nothing is more shocking than the war of the undead in the Guge Plain in the west of the continent.
If the contest between those family principalities is just a small wave, then compared to it, the war of the dead can be called a monstrous wave on the stormy sea!
It stands to reason that war is not something that can be started if you want to, and the Empire of the Undead has been at peace with the Duchy of Davenport and the Duchy of Clay for countless years, and even if there is a dispute, there is no need to go to war directly, so the undeclared war of the Spirit Kingdom is extremely sudden and inconceivable in the eyes of the monarchs of various countries.
But whether they understand it or not, all they need to do is accept it.
As a result, countless hot-blooded men and brave soldiers were ruthlessly put on this terrifying battlefield as the cheapest consumables.
And this war came to an abrupt end three months later.
In the face of the Undead Emperor and the Dark Blood Empress Lytiana, the most powerful and proud army of the Intelligence-based Demon Protectors of the Coalition paid a great price, and finally succeeded in calling the incarnation of the God of Wisdom to descend.
But what is shocking is that at the same time that the god of wisdom came to the world, the Emperor of the Dead, the Lord of Souls, Damon, incarnated into thousands of ghosts, and the deity also descended on the battlefield!
The dark clouds that shrouded the night vanished, the night became as bright as day, the beautiful plain turned into a scorched desert in an instant, becoming a forbidden area for life, and the horses that were a little closer neighed and fell to their knees, and the knight fell to the ground weakly, his limbs were broken and his bones were broken, and blood was splashed everywhere!
The war between the two emperors and the incarnation of the gods is simply impossible for mortals to participate in.
Even Theresine, who is faintly about to reach the realm of the first world, can't do it.
No one knows whether the incarnation of the gods will eventually run out of power and return to the kingdom of the gods or be annihilated by the two emperors, but there is no doubt that the great war between the gods and the emperor will form a blank space left behind.
This also bought enough time for the coalition forces to retreat.
The only option for the coalition was to retreat to the other two nearby towns, as well as Jorsek, the capital of the Duchy of Davenport.
As the capital of the country, Jorsek is indeed a large city, it stands quietly on the plain of Guge, as unshakable as a tall mountain, with a total population of more than 10 million, thick walls covered with expensive Mithril, and the moat flows not water, but oil, and once ignited, the fire will burn for three months before the reserves of oil in the ditches outside the city are exhausted.
As a means of defense and counterattack, there are seventy-two crystal towers and thirty-six mysterious towers erected in the city, these anti-heaven artifacts have never had a chance to activate since the establishment of the capital, and the twenty-four mysterious eyes can see through all illusions, naturally including stealth mimicry or transformation illusions, and the number of heavy crossbow artillery is even more outrageous.
At the same time, with the retreat of the coalition forces into the city, Jorsek has gathered nearly one-third of the military strength of the entire Duchy of Davenport, becoming an almost indestructible super fortress.
However, both the generals and the kings present were experienced in battle, and naturally they all knew that there was no fortress in the world that would never fall, and even if they could defend themselves against a direct siege, it would be difficult to resist the endless attrition of a million armies - the undead had the resources of the entire western part of the continent, and the shield capacity of Jorsek was by no means endless.
In the same way, even if the commander of the Legion of the Undead is really an idiot, he must know very well that if this difficult nail is not pulled out and humanity loses hope completely, the repeated riots and overturning of the occupied territory may never stop.
Theresine knows the truth of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, scout agents have been sent out in large numbers, and all kinds of information have been sent back like autumn leaves, but unfortunately, although the information can be sent back, most of the people can't come back.
Instead of advancing rapidly, the Undead Legion gradually occupied the lands of the Duchy of Davenport.
There is no need for a dormant army of the undead, and it will be a day and a night to reach the outside of the city.
Fortunately, at this moment, the king has ordered his youngest son to lead an army to secretly take away most of the children and books in the city, so that even if the country is destroyed, at least it will not be extinct.
For the coalition forces, another piece of news is unclear whether it is good or bad - with the shocking battle, the empress Laetiana was seriously injured and returned to the rear to recuperate, and was replaced by another undead emperor, Damon, to take command of the front.
No one knows exactly how strong Damon is, but Theresteen clearly remembers the incarnations he took when he entered the battlefield that day.
The incarnation of an emperor, no matter how weak it is, is not much weaker, and Theresine has reason to believe that Damon can completely destroy an entire army by himself.
The collision between the peak forces is not usually involved, and this is not a problem that can be solved by numbers.
But who can stop Damon?
King Davenport can't do it with Sabasti, the Holy Light of the Church of Light Lorian can't do it, the great general of the Charr Empire can't do it, and the waste of other countries can't do it, but as the commander of the Allied forces...... Can't do it either.
With these people, it is already very difficult to block the other peak demon masters of the undead legion, where is the spare strength to face an emperor to make a move?
After four hours of quarrel and half an hour of rest to calm down, in this magnificent meeting hall, more than twenty great demon masters who have reached the level of transcendent sainthood or above gathered together, but there was no discussion or deliberation, and the death-like silence shrouded the entire hall, and no one seemed to be willing to speak.
Suddenly, the general of the Principality of Corey, Reg the Earthshaker, said unconsciously: "That Damon, obviously more suitable for legion warfare than that empress, why didn't he command the battle in the first place?"
Regg's voice wasn't loud, but the hall was too quiet, and everyone in the room could hear more than anyone else, so the words were clearly audible.
yes, why?
The body of the Great Demon Protector present had already surpassed the limits of human beings, and naturally they all remembered that when the thousands of doppelgangers came, the ghosts and wolves of the entire Guge Plain howled in the yin wind and roared, and the man's terrible and terrifying laughter, the White Lion Legion was defeated by Damon alone at that moment, and it was overwhelming.
If he wants to, I'm afraid he can even kill the coalition army on his own.
However, he didn't, on the contrary, the army of the undead was led by the empress to attack at night.
Why?
At this moment, the quick-thinking person had already remembered one thing - something that had shocked the entire coalition army and almost destroyed the momentum of the entire coalition army directly.
In the face of the existence of a powerful and indestructible protective array in this world in the eyes of the world, the ultimate guardian formation of the Brahma Kingdom, the Kingdom of God, descended, and was smashed by the Dark Blood Empress with one palm after another.
Could it be that the defensive shield of the Kingdom of God is the reason for stopping Damon?
Being able to cultivate to the transcendent realm of sainthood, everyone here even the stupid-looking Reg realized something-Darmon, the soul master who can be called an insoluble Legion War, is not good at fighting alone?
Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone present suddenly flashed, and their courage and fighting spirit seemed to be high again, the general of the Principality of Malvern, the three-star power system transcendent saint demon master Rurenft looked at the people present, and said hesitantly: "What if it ......"
Theresten interrupted him, she was very excited, her face flashed with unprecedented excitement, and her hands slapped the table hard, "He is definitely not good at fighting alone, it is rumored that a hundred years ago, the two undead emperors once traveled to the continent on a whim to play a game of grand theft, and the spirit kingdom was handed over to the twelve consuls for more than fifty years without any trouble, so the spirit kingdom does not need him to stay to deal with government affairs at all." ”
Theresten slapped the table hard, "He has to be bad at going it alone!"
With an uproar, the entire round table shattered cleanly, and the water cups prepared for everyone present shattered to the ground, but Dressine didn't look at the fragments of the round table, and continued: "I'm going to meet the undead emperor." ”
Sabasti shook his head, "I'm afraid you can't do it yourself, count me in." ”
Buster hesitated for a moment and said, "That's one of me." ”
"The King of the Demon Wolves will be handed over to me. "Someone pleaded.
"Leave the Lifestealer to me. Rurenft said.
"Looks like I'm going to have to deal with the necromancers. Lorian laughed.
Reg rubbed his palms, "I'm only good at legion combat, I'm going to deal with the Undead Knights." ”
No one ever said what would happen if Damon's ability to fight alone was terrifying, because if that happened...... It may be said that it is not possible at all.
The sound of discussion and debate in the hall sounded again.
