Chapter 122: A Tragic Victory

On the front line of the Second World Fort, as Azmodan was accidentally captured by Sarnagar into the portal, the entire Legion of Hell was suddenly thrown into chaos.

The demons began to flee in large numbers, retreating frantically like a tidal wave.

Despite their suspicions about what had just happened, Tyrell and the skeletons certainly didn't miss this opportunity, and they spread out their bodies and rushed into the demon army to begin slaughtering the fleeing army of hell in a frenzy.

It just so happened that at this time, reinforcements from other theaters also rushed to the battlefield under the guidance of Reknis, and the addition of this new force completely destroyed the last bit of luck of all the demons.

The defeat was overwhelming, and even Setia had no way to salvage the situation.

What's more, she is now in a state of self-insecurity.

This huge Legendary-level demon immediately attracted the attention of all human powerhouses, and since Azmodan's life and death were now unknown, she naturally became the target of siege by all professionals and angels.

Under the attack of two transcendents and several legendary-level powerhouses from other war zones, Setia didn't even survive ten seconds at all, and was taken away by Xue Hua as soon as she was focused on her source energy, and this powerful high-level legendary-level demon contributed five percent of Xue Hua's sublimation skill progress bar progress at one time.

Above the city, the moment Azmodan disappeared into the portal, General Edwin and other professionals of the surviving legions of Fort Winterend broke free from the influence of the original sin madness.

This time, the entire forces of Winterfort suffered heavy losses, and even the commander of the Winter Guard was killed in the defense of the city.

Faced with such a tragic situation of his legion, General Edwin was ashamed and angry, and even regardless of the injuries on his body, he rushed out of the city to participate in the pursuit of the demon legion.

The other legion leader, Elena, was so overwhelmed by the loss of her best friend that she did not join the pursuit of the demon legion.

After this battle, the entire function of the Late Winter Fort was almost in a state of half-ruin.

One of the two beacons of hope was destroyed from within by an infiltrated succubus, and the central circle was overwhelmed and in a state of severe damage.

The northern wall, which was the main battlefield of the siege, was even more miserable, with almost 80% of the entire section of the wall requiring major repairs before it could be reused.

I don't know how long it will take to fully repair the breach of the wall that the Transcendent Eagle forcibly froze with frost energy before, let alone the massive damage to the walls caused by Azmodean's devastating lava beam afterwards.

And even before Azmodan intervened on the battlefield, the damage to the walls was already very serious.

The Earthquake Demon of the Demon Force has wreaked havoc on the foundations of the city walls, and the powerful siege weapons have also blown the walls into potholes.

All the sentry posts and towers at the head of the city were leveled to the ground, and the rubble and rubble, mixed with blood and stumps, stained the head of the city a shocking black and red.

At the end of winter, the town inside Fort was reduced to ruins.

The constant air raids of the Winged Demon and the straddle of siege weapons from outside the city caused a fire that spread throughout the town.

A large number of buildings were burned down, and some of the buildings composed entirely of wooden structures were burned down to the ground.

The streets were littered with human and demonic corpses, and the black smoke from the blazing fires and the ash evaporated into the sky by the heat covered most of the city.

According to the incomplete statistics of the professionals at the south gate, the civilians of the Late Winter Fort who lost their lives in this siege accounted for almost one-third of the total number of civilians in the Late Winter Fort, and there were countless missing and seriously injured.

And the number of casualties is mounting.

Not to mention the losses of the two major professional legions.

The commander of the Winter Guard, "Blessed by the Holy Hammer" Berton, was killed in battle, and the entire legion suffered a total of 5,712 casualties, more than 80% of the total number of legions.

The Nightblade Ranger Legion, that is, the legion commanded by Elena, because most of the professionals in the regiment are ranged classes, so the losses are not as large as the Winter Guard Legion, but because the total number of Nightblade Ranger Legion is not large, the actual battle damage is still very terrible.

The entire Nightblade Ranger lost 3,766 people, which also exceeded 80% of the total number of the legion, and it was not easy to replenish the mages, necromancers, druids and other professions, and it was even more difficult to recover than the Winter Guard Legion.

As for the other professional squads that were temporarily called up... The number of casualties is basically impossible to count, and only an approximate figure of "more than 5,000 casualties" can be obtained, but the actual figure is probably much more than that.

However, despite the heavy cost of casualties, the good thing is that the final result is not bad.

Winter's Castle still stands high in the North like a wall of sighs, and the demons' evil plans have not been able to break the resistance of humanity in the entire Winter's war zone.

And because Azmodan is missing, the Sinful Domain will probably fall into chaos for some time to come.

The remaining Hell Lords will not let go of this good opportunity to expand their territory, and the territory and troops of the Lord of Sin will soon be divided up by them.

Before eating this big cake, the Hell Demon Lords probably don't have time to pay attention to the late winter war zone for the time being.

This also means that the late winter war zone has also ushered in a rare opportunity to recuperate after overcoming this difficult situation.

What's more, because Azmodan is already the second Demon King in Hell to lose recently.

I'm afraid the situation in the entire Chaos Purgatory will become very chaotic.

On the other hand, the disappearance of the Lord of Sin also means that the forces of hell have lost their strength, almost to the point of breaking their bones.

Don't talk about it from afar, let's talk about the doomsday depression that is close in front of you.

Before the Sinful Realm falls to the other Demon Kings, the human side is fully capable of sending an expeditionary force to destroy the large purgatory portal in the hollow of Doom.

At this point in time, the former subordinates of the Sin King are probably still intriguing with each other, fighting endlessly for a better new master, and there must be no one who has the spare time to defend the purgatory portal.

As long as the Doomsday Depression is captured, the power of the late winter theater is equivalent to being completely liberated, and the entire human theater of the second world is equivalent to a truly safe rear.

Of course, the commanders of the Human Legion understand this.

So this time, after the reinforcements from other war zones arrived, in addition to chasing and killing the retreating demon troops, they also reported the idea of marching into the Doomsday Hollow to the council.

The reply from the parliament came quickly, and all the MPs had no objection to the plan.

Therefore, after consulting General Edwin's opinion, the coalition forces of the various major theaters directly chased the retreating demon army all the way into the Demon Mist Canyon, preparing to take advantage of the power of the great victory to take the Doomsday Depression directly in one wave.
