Volume 1 Prelude to the Storm Chapter 5 The Great War (1)
"Ahh
The Burning Legion lived up to its name as the most powerful legion, and after the initial chaos, it quickly stabilized its position and formed a defensive line, withstanding the attack of the vanguard of the combined forces of the races of the Norcenheed continent, which was several times its size, with its meagre 200,000 legionnaires.
Looking at the combined forces that were constantly pouring into the Abyss Demon Realm from the Abyss Gate, Mattlous, one of the Ten Great Lords of the Abyss and the Terror Devourer, frowned and said, "At this moment, on the Norsenside Continent, the solar eclipse should only be halfway through, why did the Abyss Gate open in advance?"
"It is clear that those lowly creatures, with the help of some mysterious power, forcibly opened the gates of the abyss in advance, trying to prevent us from resurrecting our great master. The Abyss High Lord, Mind Fraudster Filna said slowly.
"Then let's destroy these lowly beings as a celebration before the resurrection of our master. Har Dilas, the Destroyer of Destiny, flashed with a murderous glint in his eyes, and with a slight pause, it immediately flew up from the high platform and flew towards the boundless battlefield.
Whether it's the sky, or the land, the entire Hellfire Peninsula has been transformed into a sea of blood.
The demons of the Burning Legion, wielding their huge weapons, put an end to the lives of the Combine soldiers like wheat harvesters. Compared to the powerful demons, the individual combat power of the Combine soldiers is simply too insignificant. It didn't take long for the hundreds of thousands of Combine soldiers who first rushed into the Abyss Gate to fall forever on the land of the Abyss Demon Realm, and at the cost of their lives, less than three thousand demons were killed.
But from the abyssal gate, the Combine soldiers still rushed out without fear of sacrifice. They knew that if they did not succeed in preventing the resurrection of Akmund today, their homeland, their homeland, would eventually be destroyed, and their wives, their children, would become slaves to the devil. Their world will henceforth fall into the reign of darkness.
Another group of combined forces swarmed out of the abyss, and this group of combined forces was significantly stronger. Among them, there are not only the most elite hoplites and heavy knights of mankind, but also the best archers of the elves, and even, among those savage and violent orc soldiers, there is also the figure of the Beamon War Behemoth.
Under the protection of the Combine, thousands of the most precious magicians, priests, and shamans of the Combine have also stepped into the Abyss Demon Realm.
And with the Qingyue Dragon groan, which resounded through the sky, nearly a hundred elegant, noble, and sacred dragons also flew out of the Abyss Gate.
"Dragons, these lowly creatures have put their best fighting power into battle so quickly?" said Supreo, the High Lord of the Abyss and the Growler of Hell, looking to the sky with some confusion.
Instead of engaging in the fierce battle beneath them, the dragons flew straight in the direction of the Demon Throne carved out of the mountains where the stone statue of Akmund was located.
This is a formidable force. A group of demons that rushed into the sky to try to stop the dragons fell from the sky and perished after a brief but fierce engagement with the dragons.
"Ah, I see, these dragons are aiming for the heart of our lord!" Supreo suddenly realized as the dragons continued to fly in the direction of the throne.
At this moment, the Abyss High Lord, the Dark Demon Dragon King, and the Time Controller beside Supreo, Mossad Gra raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, his wings fluttered, and he rushed towards the attacking dragons.
Along with it launched an attack on the dragons, dozens of Dark Dragons followed.
The battle intensified.
The mages of the Combined Army who entered the abyss demon realm desperately urged the magic, countless fireballs, hail, thunder and lightning, earth and rocks roared intertwined, overwhelmingly smashed into the demon camp of the Burning Legion, and the shamans sang desperately, blessed the soldiers who fought against the demons with various combat auxiliary skills such as "bloodthirsty", "endurance", "berserk", "stone skin", etc., even if their throats were broken due to a long time of singing with all their might, they still hoarsely sang and refused to stop.
After the Combine threw their own stalwarts into battle, the demons' casualties grew, and for the first time, the Burning Legion's defenses shrank back.
Looking at the combined forces that were still entering the Abyss Demon Realm through the Abyss Gate, the remaining eight Abyss Great Lords who were still guarding Akmund's heart finally couldn't sit still.
"These lowly creatures, how many centaurs have they come? Are they ready to use their ant-like cheap lives to fight our noble demons? How many lives are they ready to trade for the death of one of our soldiers? a hundred, two hundred, or three hundred?" There was a hint of anger in the cold voice of the Death Requiem Merlyn Inz.
"It seems that in addition to Haldiras and Mossad Gerra, it is necessary for us to get into this fight. Filna, the Mind Fraudster, said lightly.
"Dear Filna, to deal with these lowly creatures, we don't need a few of us to go out in person, as long as I use my puppet troops and magic cannon troops, it is enough to decide the outcome of this war. A tall ironclad man said in an extremely harsh and stereotypical tone.
He is the great lord of the Abyss Demon Realm who can give life to machines, and the creator of the mechanical puppet, Ganerge.
"That's it, Sister Filna, let the puppet troops of Ganerge go into battle first! people don't want to stain their incomparably noble and beautiful bodies with the filthy blood of those despicable microorganisms!" a charming voice sounded softly. The speaker was none other than Pylodesh, the natural charmer of one of the ten lords of the abyss.
As Gangel's order was given, from the sky behind the Akmund statue, three hundred demonic steel golems suddenly flew in a roar, and these demonic steel golems held a light knife made of demonic energy in one hand and a loaded cluster rocket launcher in the other, and slaughtered into the combined army without saying a word.
The sight of these three hundred demonic steel puppets flying into a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people were fighting was like a pinch of fine sand thrown into the boundless sea, inconspicuous. But the effect they cause is as shocking as a glass of cold water being poured into a boiling oil pan and causing a fryer.
As soon as they landed on the battlefield, the three hundred demonic steel golems quickly shot out of the rockets in the cluster rocket launcher in their hands. In the midst of this crowded battlefield, the lethality of these rockets was astonishingly high, and thousands of Combine soldiers fell under the steel puppet cluster rocket launchers in just one shot.
Immediately afterward, the Demonsteel Golems threw away the launcher that no longer had the rocket in their hands, and slashed the Combine soldiers with magic light knives in their hands. Each of these mechanical creatures has a level of martial arts that is no less than that of the Great Swordsman, but they also have a hard metal defensive shell that the Great Swordsman cannot have. Magical attacks such as knives, guns, bows, and lightning fireballs did no harm to the Combine, and they rampaged through the Combine, slashing left and right, as if a pack of wolves had broken into a flock of sheep.
Seeing the golems of his own creation flex their might on the battlefield, Ganger let out a smug, snarky laugh. In the midst of the laughter, its big steel hand was raised high, and then it waved downward, and immediately a series of uniform, rhythmic trumpets were faintly heard in the mountains behind the stone statue of Akmund. The sound of the trumpet gradually became clear from far to near, and it could be heard coming from the foot of the twelve mountains and heading towards the summit of the twelve mountains.
Twelve teams of bare-chested, muscle-knoted, and more than five-meter-tall demon wrestlers appeared on the tops of the twelve mountains. There were dozens of demon wrestlers in each team, and each team of demon wrestlers were struggling to push a giant cannon.
Through the unremitting efforts of the Demon Wrestlers, a full twelve powerful magical cannons were transported to the tops of the twelve mountains.
At the same time, a group of the best demonic alchemists who had passed through the Abyss Demon Realm used the unique magic energy crystals of the Demon Realm as raw materials, and the magic energy ammunition that had been painstakingly refined with countless efforts was also transported to the top of the mountain.
As the Magic Cannon's ammunition was reloaded, the Demon Gunner Commander raised the flag in his hand.
"Target, Abyss Gate!
"Boom", with the sound of earth-shattering cannons one after another, the entire sky trembled. A group of Combine warriors who had just rushed out of the Abyss Gate and had just set foot on the land of the Demon Realm raised their heads after feeling a powerful pressure coming towards them from above their heads. Their expressions instantly turned terrified. They saw huge balls of light with long trails of bright light in the bloody sky, whistling towards them.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom,......" With the twelve loud sounds of the sky cracking and the earth cracking, twelve black giant mushroom clouds rose from the door of the Abyss Gate, and thousands of combined soldiers turned into dust in the Demon Realm in an instant at the moment they just rushed into the Demon Realm.
The extreme shock brought by the power of the magic energy cannon made the battle between the soldiers on both sides involuntarily stop for a moment at this moment.
The Combine soldiers, who had been fearlessly attacking the Burning Legion's defense line in front, finally showed a look of fear in their eyes after looking back and seeing the black smoke behind them dissipate and appear in front of the Abyss Gate with a diameter of more than half a kilometer.
The follow-up troops of the Combined Army in the Abyss Gate also stopped the charge out of the Abyss Gate.
"Utahiva!" The Burning Legion's demons were boiling even more, and they brandished their huge weapons again, demoralizing the Combine soldiers who had no reinforcements to follow. The Burning Legion's front pressed back in the direction of the Abyssal Gate.
"In order to avoid accidentally hitting the soldiers of our Burning Legion, although it is inconvenient for me to shell the center of the battlefield, there is still no problem in shelling those lowly reinforcements in front of the Abyss Gate. Ganerge chuckled triumphantly.
Raines glanced at Akmund's heart, which had already healed most of itself, and said lightly: "In a while, my lord will be resurrected." At that time, those lowly creatures will all pay with their lives for their current stupidity!"
In front of the Abyss Gate, thick pillars of magic light flashing in various colors rose into the sky, converging and intersecting in the sky in front of the Abyss Gate, forming a colorful light curtain with an extremely wide coverage. In order to defend against the bombardment of the Abyss Gate reinforcement channel by the magic cannon, on the battlefield, more than half of the magicians of the combined army gave up the attack on the demons and turned to defense, unleashing their magic power to work together to create this huge colorful light curtain.
A new round of firing of twelve magical cannons began.
Huge balls of light continued to fall on the colorful light curtain. Every shelling will make the colorful light curtain tremble, and the colorful light will dim a little, but the colorful light curtain is still supported by the shelling after all. Seeing that the passage for reinforcements was secured, the Combine soldiers in the Abyssal Gate rushed out again.
Although there were new Combine reinforcements to keep up, the Combine were still fighting extremely hard and at a disadvantage due to the fact that most of the mages needed to concentrate on maintaining the colorful light curtain, and without such a large amount of support for the demon's devastating magical attacks.
In the sky behind the Combine's camp, a force resembling the dragons in the fierce battle with the dark dragons in front of them was silently watching the battlefield in front of them and beneath them.
This force is the phalanx team composed of the Holy Magister, Sword Master, Paladin, and Dragon Knight on the Norsenside continent.
Among them, the huge flying dragons under the crotch of the dragon knight in the phalanx were staring intently at the same kind of people who were fighting with the dark demon dragons in front of them, looking anxious and irritable, if it wasn't for the knights on the dragon's back to stop their impatience, they might have rushed into the battle group a long time ago.
"Oliver, if we can't destroy those damn magic cannons, we're in a precarious situation!" Gasol looked at the fainter and fainter colorful brilliance flowing on the colorful light curtain, and said worriedly: "Oliver, those magic cannons are so far away from here, I can't help it. Ranged attacks are your mage's strength, can you attack those magic cannons?"
Oliver stared at the magic cannon in the distance, silently calculated the distance, and said helplessly: "This distance is already beyond the attack range of me and other Holy Magisters, even if we use our most long-range attack magic 'Meteor Shower Summoning', it is still a small attack distance." ”
"Oliver, is it only a short distance?" Gasol said, his eyes blazing.
"Yes," Oliver nodded.
"If you don't summon a large meteor shower, for example, a miniature meteor shower, which is the size of a meteorite like a pebble, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Gasol said.
"What do you want to ......?"
"Oliver, didn't you notice that we're in a tailwind direction right now? If we summon a miniature meteor shower in front of the Magic Cannon's position, I think that with such a strong wind now, coupled with your Archmage's wind magic, you can scrape those small burning meteorites onto the position of the Magic Cannon, right?
Oliver somewhat understood Gasol's intentions: "You want to take advantage of the chaos of those demon gunners to forcibly rush up and destroy the magic cannon?"
"No, look at the altar in the distance, Akmund's heart is about to come back to life, we don't have time to destroy the magic cannon, we can only fight around, pretending to destroy the magic cannon, but our real target is Akmund's heart. "Gasol Road.
"But, Gasol, can the great demons who guard Akmund's heart be fooled?"
"There's no way, time waits for no one, so let's just give it a try. ”
Just as Gasol finished speaking, the sky of the Hellfire Peninsula suddenly sounded another deafening explosion, just as it had happened when the Abyss Gate was opened before.
A gate as huge as the Abyss Gate, decorated with countless white bones, appeared out of thin air on the land of the Abyss Demon Realm and slowly opened.
