Chapter 187: The Flames of War
Where is it? A small town on the border of the Leanne Empire.
The morning weather was different from the brightness of the previous two days, and the heavy clouds accumulated in the sky, and the black pressure gave people the feeling that the sky would collapse at any moment, dull and oppressive.
The milk-delivering boy yawned from lack of sleep and walked listlessly along the road with a cart full of glass bottles.
Although it was morning, the whole town was very dark because of the weather, and the visibility was only a little better than at night. Moreover, the kerosene street lamps that were lit at night had long since been extinguished due to the burning of kerosene, and the current road was a little more difficult to walk than at night.
He complained about the weather, carefully avoiding the uneven spots on the road to prevent the glass bottles from being torn, and as was customary, he went door to door to deliver the glass bottles filled with milky white liquid to the homes of the people who had ordered the milk.
Half of the bottles were half-cut in the body separated by boxes filled with straw to prevent them from breaking, and the milk-delivering boy wiped the sweat from his forehead with his patched sleeve — a labor that was still too much for a child in his early teens.
But apart from the not-so-good weather, he was quite satisfied with his job.
Because of his age, most stores don't hire children like him. Although this job is a little tiring, the monthly salary is very considerable, which can not only subsidize the family's expenses, but also save a lot, and the boss will occasionally give him excess milk.
Just as he was ready to get back to work. Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch something.
The boy looked up and looked at the clouds for a moment, puzzled, as thick as the ink. After looking at it for a long time, there was nothing wrong with the clouds. But the boy felt that he had just seen a small black dot flying in the sky......
After carefully studying it for a while, the boy wiped his eyes, which were a little sore because they had been open, with his dirty sleeves, and wiped away the tears that welled up from the corners of his eyes that were in the body's self-protection function.
I guess I was mistaken. The boy thought to himself.
Because it was getting late, he muttered 'Oops, I'm in trouble' and pulled up the handrail in a panic. I'm going to deliver the rest of the milk as soon as possible.
Before leaving, the boy probably thought that he should make sure again, and looked back at the gloomy sky again......
The next moment, several boxes fell from the car's handrail as the handrail in front of it fell to the ground. The glass bottle inside suddenly broke a lot, and the milky white liquid flowed out of the box and onto the ground. It was completely absorbed by the black soil, leaving only a small wet mark.
However, the sight that would have made the boy nervous was no longer able to attract his attention.
The boy's eyes widened, his malnourished hands pointed to the sky, his face was full of horror, his mouth opened and closed, but he could not say anything.
In the sky in the direction he pointed, many large abyssal creatures rushed out of the clouds, and those huge bone spurs or other parts dragged long white lines out of the clouds, looking like wings pulled out by the wings of an airplane.
And as these huge figures approached, some of the smaller figures around them gradually came into view. The sky, which had been empty a few seconds ago, immediately became dense.
That's some winged demons and vampires capable of flying through the air. More abyssal creatures and vampires are attacking human towns directly from the ground.
In the town, the metal bell on the church bell tower, no smaller than the stack of wood in the field, began to ring, and the priests used magic to drive the bronze bell and try to establish a stronghold in the church to meet the enemy—but alas, in the face of that terrifying number, a small church could no longer even count as a bunker. …,
They were immediately killed by the invading demons and vampires. The corpses hung from the bell tower, along with the corpses of the magicians who were about to resist, sending a silent signal of terror to the entire town.
The people who were awakened by the sound of the bell pushed open the windows, rubbed their sleepy eyes, and poked their heads out curiously, only to see the flow of people running in the streets, and those flying in the sky. A formidable figure.
So they did not hesitate to join the fleeing crowd.
Regardless of the country or cultural differences, there are no exceptions to the fact that demons and vampires are the common enemies of mankind.
The appearance of a monster like this can make the whole town panic, not to mention the appearance of covering the sky and the sun now!
Hurry up and escape! You can only survive by escaping to the big city! This thought sustained the helpless men as they ran desperately, while the murderous demons followed the crowd, torturing civilians for their amusement until they were stopped by more organized vampires than they were......
A small town on the edge is devastated and overrun by demons and vampires.
Such a scene has played out in dozens of marginal towns in the Eastern Plains, and without exception, they have all fallen to the vampires.
In addition, a number of non-marginal cities have also been attacked by the Abyss Demons, most of which have suffered considerable losses, with only a few of them spared great disasters due to the presence of strong men.
In the face of this sudden attack, in addition to believing what Sivi said from the beginning and actively preparing for the response? Outside of the Leanne Empire, almost all the other countries that were attacked were hit hard by a single blow. At? While the Leanne Empire kept the invading enemy at bay, several surrounding countries that had been busy guarding against the necessary evil churches were defeated by the combined forces of vampires and abyssal demons before they could react, and in less than a week, they were completely overrun by those evil creatures.
With those occupied countries as a jumping platform, the flames of war instantly burned to most of the eastern plains like sparks that burned to the eastern plains.
Whereas? The Leanne Empire didn't feel good either. After its neighbors were wiped out, it immediately became attacked on three sides, and the rest of the countries bordering it were now in a state of being overwhelmed and completely unable to support it.
On the eighth day after the start of the war, the rest of the fronts on the battlefield were in a state of stalemate, except for ? Leanne's armies on both sides are ready for Armageddon.
The demonic vampires want to pull this nail out of their path, and? Leanne also wanted to get a little time to recuperate after crushing the other party in one go.
And none of them know the way, where? In the province of Quilin behind Leanne, an academy composed of a chain of floating islands was slowly flying in the direction of the decisive battlefield......
