Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 7: The Eve of the Bloody War (6) The War Begins
Hell, Demon Canyon, Abaddon Palace.
"All the legions are ready to march at any time, Lord Mephistopheles. An armored messenger reported to him.
"Very well, let them stand by in front of the gates of Hell first, and I will announce the order later. Mephistopheles replied.
Finally it began, he thought to himself. It's been 10,000 years, he's been waiting for 10,000 years, and this 10,000 years of pain and resentment is finally about to be released, and now it's finally time to return to the world.
"You're not going to go with them, are you?" asked Lucifer as he stood by the door, "the commander-in-chief goes to the front, that doesn't seem to suit your style." ”
"I'm not going to go at the beginning, at least until they've consolidated their gains. Mephistopheles laughed, "Besides, if I'm gone, you're not the commander of hell." Isn't that what you've always hoped for, to rule over all hell and take revenge on heaven and earth. ”
"My revenge has never changed, I have a reason why I have to destroy humanity, and I still want to take revenge on my father, it has never changed. ”
"Wouldn't that be nice?" Mephistopheles was putting on his armor one by one, "The Grand Commander of Hell, although I am an agent, I have fulfilled my promise to at least allow you to rule all of Hell. ”
"Then I would like to thank you for your selfless dedication. Lucifer watched Mephistopheles leave in armor. "I wish you a victorious start and give the world pain. ”
Mephistopheles walked through the corridors of the palace, which had been used as a wartime command post 10,000 years ago, and now 10,000 years later, it was being used for the same purpose again. It was dimly lit, but luxuriously furnished, with a rich carpet covering almost the entire stone floor.
He walked out of the door, and two veiled servants saluted him, and he usually pretended to ignore it, but today he nodded slightly, for the first time in history.
It was only two hundred meters away that the huge army of hell had completely caught Mephistopheles' eyes. Mephistopheles suppressed his excitement as he ascended the stone steps of the high platform, each step echoing through the quiet canyon.
No one made a loud noise, because everyone had hidden their thirst for blood and hatred for heaven and earth, and the silence was really creepy.
Dressed in obsidian armor, the leader of the army, Astaroth, was carrying his great axe, quietly waiting for orders. Although he felt very anxious in his heart, it was rare to get the position of the vanguard, and if he showed his impatience, it would be bad for him.
Behind Astarrot is a vanguard hybrid army of the most elite demon and demon kinds. Each demon is the elite of their respective legions, and they were chosen to form the Vanguard Assault Force because they will be the first to fight after the war begins, and they will teach humanity what crushing combat is.
Behind the Mixed Legion are thousands of constructs and all sorts of twisted creations. They will be used as siege weapons, and their first task is to destroy any human defenses, completely paralyzing the enemy's defenses, and they can also cause great mental stress to the human soldiers.
Looking at the army in front of him, Mephistopheles unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth: How could such a powerful army be blocked? I am afraid that the human race will not even be able to survive the first day and will be defeated, even if it is the angelic army of heaven, I am sure that I can defeat them all.
A huge whirlpool is forming in the sky, and black and purple chaotic energy is beating in the whirlpool, which is the image of the most powerful hell gate ever.
This door tore through the sky and came all the time, showing off the majesty of hell all the time, which is a contempt for heaven and earth. Now it will be the entrance to the march and will leave a strong mark on history.
Mephistopheles thought, he opened his arms and closed his eyes like a priest bathed in the power of darkness, he could feel that this was the power of Satan, and this power that belonged to Satan made him almost fascinated.
"Astarrot. He opened his eyes and asked, "You should be ready for everything, right?"
"That's nature. "I've made all the preparations for the march, and I'm waiting for your order!" He turned his head and shouted at the army behind him, "You're in a hurry, aren't you, my fearsome warriors!?"
"Roar, roar!" the Legion responded to Astarot's inquiry with a high, perfectly neat roar, which was what Mephistopheles wanted to see most now: an army that could be invincible.
"Order, Master Mephistopheles. "Astarrot makes a rare use of honorifics. "We will crush this world to dust in the name of Lord Satan, humanity will perish, God and his heaven will be burned to ashes by us, we are the legions of hell, we are invincible!"
"Invincible!" echoed the demons in unison, an army forged by past resentment and bitterness that would destroy everything.
"Let's get started. Mephistopheles shouted, "In the name of Lord Satan, I grant you the right to torture the world, and you will destroy everything before you under the leadership of a wrath. In the name of Satan, in the name of hell, go to war!"
"Long live Lord Satan! Long live Lord Mephistopheles!" the voices echoed throughout the Legion, a sight Mephistopheles had only seen once a decade ago.
At that time, it was not he who was standing here giving orders, but Lord Satan in black armor. The black armor was made of God-given diamonds completely stained with darkness and fused with dragon scales, and just by standing there, he felt the majesty that belonged only to the gods.
He just drew his sword and pointed it at the sky, completely cutting the sky, and the scene was even more shocking than now. At that time, Pfister could only stand behind him, but he did not feel despised but felt the supreme glory.
How many people could have been qualified to stand next to Lord Satan like him? He had been standing upright, not daring to make even the slightest movement. He could see, see countless demons chanting Satan's name, swearing to fight for him, and the fiery feeling was like now.
But now Lord Satan can't come here directly, and he has once again been honorably chosen to be the Acting Ruler of Hell. He is Satan's spokesman, and Satan's order is his life. He stood here, as if he had crossed 10,000 years and returned to that moment again.
Mephistopheles turned around and stretched out a hand and gently touched the hilt of Satan's sword, and the chaotic energy in the sky vortex began to gather in an instant. The gathered energy formed a huge pillar of dark purple light that projected from the sky to the location of the Legion of Hell.
"The war has begun!" Mephistopheles shouted to the Legion of Hell in the pillar of light. "Now is the time to officially march, start marching!"
"Roar!" roared the demons in the pillar of light, already in a furious state for the upcoming battle. The leader of the army, Astarot, smiled, it was a frightening grin, a madness that destroyed everything.
The energy of the pillar of light increased more and more each time, and finally reached the maximum critical position. The dark purple glow engulfed the Legion of Hell, emitting energy that caused Mephistopheles to take even a few steps back.
"Whoosh!" After a loud roar, the pillar of light disappeared, and the Hell Legion that had been under the stone platform also disappeared with the disappearance of the pillar of light, leaving only black ashes on the ground that had been burned by energy.
"It's a success!" Mephistopheles said with a smile as she looked at the scorched ground, "Stupid humans, hated gods and angels, after ten thousand years of painful waiting, we're back!"
At the same time, residents of Great Inagua, near the Bermuda Delta region, saw a spectacle they had never seen in their lifetime.
At night, the ocean, which should be colorless, is glowing faintly purple, like a ball of light on the ocean floor. The light grew stronger, and finally the entire surface of the ocean was dyed purple, and the light was so light that it was impossible to open your eyes.
Then, less than 30 seconds later, the blinding light was gone, replaced by a huge ocean vortex they had never seen before. The sea roared, whirlpools engulfed everything around it, and several small islands and reefs sank completely to the bottom of the sea.
It was a terrible sight, people standing on the shore just to be able to look at it from afar, they thought it was a very destructive natural disaster, a natural disaster, but they were wrong, at the bottom of the whirlpool of the sea were thousands of demons that kept pouring into the world, and this was nothing more than a disaster created by demons.
"Hey, hey, don't you feel like that vortex is getting bigger and bigger?" suddenly someone in the crowd shouted.
Only then did they realize that the whirlpool seemed to be getting bigger, and it was only a long distance away from them, but now the edge of the whirlpool was almost reaching the island where they lived.
"No, not good. The people screamed in fear, "The whirlpool is coming to this island soon, stop huddled here, hurry up and leave by boat from the other side of the island!"
The crowd scrambled to leave the shore, and as one might have predicted, the whirlpool reached the island of Great Inagua, and the roaring waters completely submerged the island and swallowed it up in darkness.
At the bottom of the sea, the demons that have poured into the world from the gates of hell are heading north according to a predetermined plan, and their goal is to land on Manhattan Island and completely destroy the headquarters of the enemy BPRD.
A new holy war begins in the midst of a devastating catastrophe, and it is the middle of the night, when everyone is immersed in the depths of sleep, and no one will realize that the world will usher in a shocking change tomorrow morning. In the depths of darkness that no one can see, evil capable of destroying everything is marching towards this world.
At this point there is zero time until the start of the war, and the war has already begun.
