Chapter 12: The Road to Destruction (1)
[Beacon fire is accompanied by restlessness]
{Western Front, Storm Ocean, Main Island of the Hilo Islands}
The vicious waves swept the sea devils of the entire stormy ocean, and unstoppably attacked the island in all directions!
Waves of magical power shattered into the magical barrier, piercing through the clouds and pouring down into torrents of rain, causing the barrier to flicker dangerously, and the endless roaring beasts were terrifying—
Like the inky foam swept by a storm, flying and swimming monsters surrounded the island from top to bottom, disorderly and menacing, it is hard to imagine what nightmare could be more terrifying!
But the defenders responded with the same nightmare to the monsters—in the whirling bay of the waves, the monsters approaching the barrier fought each other!
The beast rider who commanded this slaughter, the bird demon Monster, just sat indifferently on the giant reef that had been gnawed by the waves into the shape of monster fangs, and stroked the mottled collar called "Nailheart Thorn" with intricate fingering, and continued to exude a demonic aura that made the monster crazy!
This unremarkable "young man" single-handedly blocked the army of the Suppressive Realm, allowing the troops stationed under tremendous pressure to rest and wait.
"I'm tired, senior......" Ivan kept looking at the bay with concern as he followed Shang Wuyan and his two sisters back and forth through the stepped city built along the slopes. The waves were already level with him in the middle of the mountain, and the red-black waves and dense monsters ferociously occupied his field of vision, making the shadow of the beach reef so small.
"He can hold out for a while, and when he gets tired, he will tell us to replace it with a cannon position. During this time, we're going to have to build up as much magic as we can in case La Niña strikes – after all, we're not sure if she'll hold on to Steeleland. Shang Wuyan raised her voice under the thunderous wind and waves, "Whether it is the secret army or us, we must have the consciousness to confront her head-on......"
"In the big picture, our battle with La Niña is the best-case scenario...... "Fellow Paris grimaces, "although I really don't want to face her again...... The tsunami that destroyed the country six years ago really shattered all my courage...... However, if I don't face her, I probably won't be able to improve in the future......"
"The eldest sister is standing here for the same reason as us. Ataya surprisingly did not have her usual ferocity and showed a rare warm smile.
Ivan's blue eyes are reminiscent of a calm bay: "Well, in order to gain the courage to go to the future, in order to be able to smile without leaving a shadow in the future - we have to defeat La Niña!"
Paris smiled at him softly and bitterly, "Hmm. ”
"Speaking of which, I have an assumption," Ivan smiled softly at his sister, and then looked at Mai Ge solemnly, "La Niña should be a contractor!"
Paris, Atayal, and Mai Yan all stared in shock: "Someone with a contract?"
"And," Ivan's blue eyes were full of determination, "the time she obtained the Contractor was the night of the destruction of the country! Shiloh, who had been fighting her with all the strength of the whole country, finally failed because she liberated her power that night!"
Paris's expression was full of wavering: "How could it be ......"
"Sister, don't you think this is the best situation, if this is true, it means that La Niña is unlikely to get stronger!" Ivan clenched his fists, "and in comparison, we are not the same as we were six years ago!"
"Ivan," Paris stared at her brother heavily, "is that kind of demon needed just to gain the power to compete with La Niña?"
"Huh?" Ivan was stunned.
"Golden flute!" Ataya suddenly grabbed her brother's thin shoulder, "I don't know what kind of monster 'it' is, but that flute is a palace relic......, right?
Ivan looked up calmly: "Hmm." ”
"Do such stupid things...... Do you have to do that, even if it costs you your life......" Paris's expression was full of tears, which was not common in her cold and strong her, "If I was strong enough, I wouldn't need to fight like this......"
"I ...... Actually, I was scared! Really, I didn't want to die. Ivan smiled brightly, "I still want to live happily with everyone...... The flute has been confiscated, I will do a good job of logistics! Anyway, come on, let's live well together!
Paris hesitantly stretched out her hand and shook hands with Ivan and Atayal.
"Listen, La Niña! We're going to win!—we're going to live together in the future!" Ivan smiled as bright as ever, his blue pupils shining brighter than ever!
As if in response to his declaration, the reef stood up and fired a salute into the sky. As a result, the eye-catching and bright magic cannonballs poured like rain of light towards the Langshan Mountain!
Here, the beacon fire is first burning.

{Western Front, Middle-earth, Shirovra Town}
Shirova, a heavy industrial base that is forever roaring in the smoke and dust of industry, is now bombarding the army of Warcraft from both Mercury Bay and the mine with magic cannonballs!
When the storm of lightning swept through the sky, the roaring monsters all dodged in panic, and the skills they didn't usually have before swirled far along with the wind.
"The Mercury Witch probably remembers my Thunderstorm. Looking at the abnormal scene, Zhaohua said, "Their dodging movements are more proficient than last time, and the skills of manipulating monsters are so skillful, General Blackwater really can't be taken lightly......"
“...... Pour out my hatred—the deep cold needle crack waterfall!" "Without hesitation, the Snow Crane unleashed a torrential rain of sparkling light, and the tide of rain that washed away its magic turned blue with scattered soul fire, smashing down the dense monsters like ant colonies—the witch should not have had time to be proud of her prowess.
Even so, the continuous demonic beasts still swooped up from Mercury Bay like a tsunami and rushed down from the mines like a landslide!
"The Poison King's Destiny Net!" Selena's eyes shone with determination, and under her delicate control, the silver-gray smoke swirled in a strange trajectory, and the power smashed each monster with precision without wasting it!
"Awesome......" Xue He looked at Zhaohua and Selina in admiration, secretly clenching his fists.
"Although the opponent is only repeating the production of monsters, its magic fluctuations are becoming more and more stable, and if this continues, we will be reversed......" Selena whispered in distress as her dark eyes reflected the monster that looked like ants.
"Are you alright, Sally?" "Yukitsuru looked at Selena worriedly, "Do you need a break?"
Selena smiled bitterly and gathered her magic again: "It's okay, I'm still energetic...... I'm not going to run away this time, I'm not the same person I used to be...... It's a real fight here, that's what my brother expects......"
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Sally......" Snow Crane's gaze dimmed, and she quickly looked at Selena eagerly, "Really, don't force yourself!"
Selena patted her on the shoulder and smiled softly, "Thank you...... I'm really fine, though, you don't have to worry about me. ”
Zhaohua hesitated and spoke: "...... Sally, how strong was 'Shirovala' at that time compared to now?"
"As before, it struck me incredible. Selina replied solemnly, "It stands to reason that 'it' has been attacked by Harden and Teacher Jean, and it shouldn't have that kind of power to ......."
"It was the Empress of the Firmament who gave 'it' support. The bird demon Qin Yuan walked over and said lightly, "Okay, Zhaohua, Snow Crane, the coast and the town will be handed over to you and everyone, and we will rush over from here." ”
"Okay. Zhaohua frowned and guided the merry stream, blasting a passage through the army of endless monsters, "Quick!"
Selena followed the witch crusade team, and under the leadership of Qin Yuan, she rushed forward and headed for the dark mines!
"I'm back, Mom, brother......" Selena's magic flowed more and more violently, but it was not disturbed. Her vision was occupied by the darkness of Shirovla, but the light flickered unyieldingly.
The demons seemed to be extinguished forever, and the passage torn out by the wind gathered like water! Qin Yuan rushed forward, her blonde hair shining like lightning. Before Selena could see clearly, she had already pulled out a huge iron fan from her back: "Hold your breath!"
Without hesitation, the poisonous fan "Scale Needle" set off a snowstorm-like poisonous scale powder, causing all the monsters that approached to die!
"Be vigilant!" "Raise your vigilance!" The poisonous dust that withered when touched the wood, and died when it touched the birds and beasts gradually settled, Qin Yuan immediately gathered the fan and spun up the handle of the huge iron fan, smashing the demonic beasts that were surging wildly in front of him into a blood mist, "The mother and daughter of Zhiyao Ying are still peeping at us, don't relax!"
The coast and town are held by warriors skilled in wind and water spells, and the mines are attacked by the poison-skilled Chin Yuan, who specializes in civil and dark spells, and experienced demons, but even so, Selena knows that they will be met with a bitter battle-
Without any advantage, the raging monsters suppressed their entire army with numbers alone!
The raging seas and the dark mines all tremble in the roar of battle!
Here, the beacon fires are moving.

{Western Front, Middle-earth, Doripoliton}
The overwhelming horde of demonic beasts devoured the light of the magic barrier, and the mountain castle looked dangerous.
"Are we going to make a move?" Harden calmly asked Ruan Yanshan, the supreme responsible person, standing on the high tower.
"The spider silk probe showed that everything was normal. Yan Shan twisted the imperceptible silk thread in his hand and responded calmly, "When this barrier can't be prevented, we will replace it with the Thunder Barrier provided by the Thunder Magic Empire." ”
"Alicia's barrier...... Very good. Harden bowed his head, looking at Yan Shan's relieved appearance, he smiled bitterly, "You seem to be uneasy about me, don't you? I'm also a reasonable person, and I won't mess around." ”
"Yes, little Harden is not reckless at all!" Dimon in the demon knife replied harshly.
Yan Shan smiled slightly: "I know, Harden, your talent and decisiveness are very suitable to be a leader." ”
"Thank you...... Ah, I won't tell Zhou Xuesong. Harden smiled, "According to intelligence predictions, our opponent is most likely Wu Anya, right?"
"Well, such a cunning opponent won't rely on brute force, right...... I hope Xiaohui can stay calm. Yan Shan was even more worried about the hot-blooded He Qihui, "He is very impulsive, and I am worried that he will rush into the enemy formation." You and Yunhe want to watch him. ”
"Babysitting is not for me. Harden shrugged.
"I'll go check the circle and the equipment first. Yanshan nodded at Harden trustingly, "You'll do it, I'm sure." ”
Harden watched Yanshan leave, then walked to the battery.
"Ah, the evil enemies are still growing!" Xiaohui shouted angrily in the distance, and Harden sighed.
"I—I'm going to try to stop them. The weak and shy insect tamer, the armadillo of Yu'e Mountain, whispered, driving a huge number of locusts to bombard the barrier, disrupting the enemy through the swarm's pounces and bites.
"Is this the stunt of the predecessors - 'Locust Imperial Li'? It's so powerful!" Xiao Hui praised loudly in admiration, and shouted at the chaotic collision of the demonic beasts.
"Ah, Harden, we're still dominant. Seeing Harden coming, Yunhe hurriedly smiled and said.
"I'll do my best to disrupt the beasts and cooperate with Commander Nguyen's detection, but it's not yet time for you to show off your might. The armadillo looked softly at Harden, allowing the swarm to form a glowing sandstorm that obscured the sky to show that there was still room for power.
Harden laughed, "Why are you all so scared of me? I'm so calm." ”
Yunhe and Armadillo smiled awkwardly and did not respond.
The armadillo suddenly let out a "huh" and commanded a swarm to retract: "The enemy seems to have stuffed something into my swarm, is it a letter of negotiation?"
Wu Anya likes this, hoping for a surrender. Harden sneered, "Take a look, but be careful, I bet she'll use a curse ball or something, just stop there." ”
The swarm slowly dispersed in midair, revealing a delicate jewelry box.
"What the hell, does she think that jewelry can shake the hearts of our brave men who pursue freedom!" Xiaohui shook her fist angrily.
"There is a letter. A locust bit the letter and landed on the armadillo's palm, which hesitated for a moment and opened it carefully.
"What to write?" sneered disdainfully, and Harden asked casually uninterestedly, "I guess it's still a low-level intimidation, right?"
"I don't understand...... It's for Harden yours. The armadillo was distressed, "If you promise you won't get too excited, just take a look......"
"No, I'm not Han Feng, so I'm not so emotional. Harden snatched the letter, and Xiaohui also picked up her toes to read.
"'Dear Harden, I'm Anya. You're lucky that Red Ji has decided to return the priceless treasure you've been looking for for years, but it's damaged, I hope you won't mind too much'......" Xiaohui read out crisply, not noticing Harden's sudden stiffness.
"Hey, that's not going to be ......" Dimon shook his demon knife, his voice full of unease.
"'Harden, I think you're really weak — yes, I'm pretty sure of that as a self-confessed weak and despised by you. I'll admit you're very combative, but you've never helped anyone, and no matter how hard you try, you'll only hurt the people around you - so you're the most incompetent...... Hey, she's so annoying!" Xiaohui got angry as she read it.
Harden took a deep breath: "...... Give me the box!"
The armadillo shuddered, hesitantly directing the swarm to come down the box.
"......'This is your last chance to prove that you are not a waste, hold on to this crimson shard that can never be recovered, reminisce about the cruel times you have never forgotten, and then stand in front of us, superfluous!' What does this mean?" Xiaohui wondered.
"Crimson shards that can never be recovered......" Harden snatched the box, opened it tremblingly, and laughed twisted at one glance.
"Harden Jr., ......," Dimon called worriedly.
"That's ...... What?" asked Yunhe cautiously.
Harden laughed out loud, but looked sad and painful. He stared at the cranes, as dark as the eyes that immersed him in the night were instantly dyed a vivid red by resentment: "Crimson Jewel ......"
"Ruby?" Xiaohui was still thinking, but Yunhe covered his mouth in horror when he met Harden's red eyes.
"The beautiful red eyes of the plover are the most gorgeous rubies as long as they are petrified...... "Dimon said slowly, "Li Zhengyin, the beautiful eyes of my last master......"
"Mommy ......" clutched the jewelry box, and Harden's crimson eyes swelled with hatred. His ocean-like magic surged, and even the trembling demon knife "Thin Red" emitted red light!
The armadillo hurriedly tugged at his sleeve: "Now, not yet!"
The trembling body could not move in resentment and depression, and Harden grabbed the railing with one hand, but the iron railing broke under his magic. He threw the magic-blackened iron bars into the air, and the tide of shadows that rushed out of them devoured a large number of monsters!
"Tell Ruan Yanshan that I can't fight anymore. His voice was gloomy and cold, "If you use me as your main combat force, retreat and escape." ”
"Harden——" Yunhe stretched out his hand, but couldn't hold him. In an instant, he turned into a bird and rushed into the night sky, almost dragging out the armadillo that was holding him!
Not to rush into enemy line was the most difficult decision his reason had ever made. Under the flames of fierce battle, he roared away, turning his companion's uneasiness into reality. Correspondingly, as if celebrating the success of the plan, the night sky is burned with an enemy attack!
Here, the city is in flames!

{Middle Line, Middle Continent, Demon King Capital}
"Hey, can you hear me? Commander Ruan, I'm Cedar. Cedar dutifully communicated, "You reported that the situation has changed, can you tell us more details? What are the specific changes?"
"This ......," Yan Shan clearly hesitated, "it's Harden...... He was stimulated and ran away for the time being...... We've sent someone to find him, and on the fighting side, we've moved to a more cautious approach...... I have also been in contact with Mr. Jean Lonas and will call them for help whenever there is a situation. So, don't worry. ”
Cedar sighed: "Harden is not an impulsive person, so this should be serious?...... Ah, Xiaohui didn't rush to find Harden, did she?"
"No, we stopped him. Harden himself knows the situation, he won't be away for long, don't worry...... (What?, I'll ...... right away) It's a bit busy right now, so I'll cut off contact and see you soon. There was a lot of noise on the other side of the conversation, and Yan Shan politely and hurriedly interrupted the communication.
Cedar lowered the microphone.
Even the Demon King was shaken by Siye's roar, and his thoughts were in chaos.
"What's wrong with Harden?" Alicia looked at him uneasily, hurrying to the other region.
"Harden ran away — he'll be back on duty soon, though!" he smiled reluctantly, "it's fine." What about you, what happened to Meng Jin's seniors?"
"It's going well, but Senior Meng Jin is sick again......" Ellie smiled bitterly, "I hope he can hold on." ”
The situation was not optimistic, and the two fell silent all of a sudden.
"I'm supposed to go to the front line, against La Nina, we have experience in the navy too......" Ellie muttered to herself.
"I'm sorry for the trouble you came to protect me......" Cedar scrambled to process the large pile of papers on the desk, his voice frustrated.
"Don't be discouraged, contact is also important, and I shouldn't complain. Ellie sighed and looked down to help.
Thunder slammed, Cedar looked up, and as far as the eye could see—
It's like all the filth is tumbling in it, an endless dark sky.
Uneasiness is the secret agitation of doom, the complex intersection of numerology threads, and the quiet closure of the great web of conspiracy. All life in heaven and earth trembled under this invisible traction and walked to the center of the tragic stage.
Comprehend, uncover all the scars, stir up the soul to tremble, and lure the restless to rush into battle, this is the way the Empress of the Firmament fights! Shatter all the future and dreams that the warriors sing, and the demons are leading the warriors on the road to destruction!
Yes, night hasn't fallen yet.
——·——
Preview: The Empress of the Firmament's plan gradually succeeded, and the web of fate quietly bound the prey!
"Do you think that if the conspiracy succeeds, it will be called clever? Then you are too naïve! The real spider, even if the calculation fails, can make everything develop according to its wishes! The Empress of the Sky and the Black Water Concubine are such spiders, they also calculate their own failures, so their strategy is leaky......"
"That's right, even if the strategy fails, there will be no change in the development of the war. Concubine Heishui Roufei is a good example - didn't she lose to the monsters of the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago? But now? she still tortures the Passage Courtyard, isn't she? In front of such a spider, no one can resist ......"
"This demon war will also end soon, in the most tragic way...... I'll bet you that the first one to die will be the one they expect the most from - Harden Tesla......"
Stay tuned for the next part: The Road to Destruction (2): The Prophecy of Destroying Dreams!
