Chapter 88: Despair (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
After three months of temptation, the demons officially launched an invasion of the Manitoba Kingdom and the Aztec Empire at the end of August.
In September of the same year, under the mediation of the Church of Truth, the Apocalypse Divine System and the True Divine System ceased war, and many parties formed an alliance to jointly resist the Old Gods.
In mid-October, the first Allied legion arrived in the Aztec Empire and joined forces of the Church of Truth such as Edward, Luca, and Rogin to face the Monster Legion led by Freya in the northern city of Chihuahua.
In November, the Allies were unable to resist the non-stop attack of the Monster Legion, and abandoned Chihuahua and retreated to Hidalgo, where they were attacked halfway through and suffered heavy losses.
In December, the Allies increased their forces again, and Seekula was present on the battlefield.
In January of the following year, the Seventy-Two Pillars launched a winter offensive, bypassing Durango and heading south to Mexico City.
This defeat is completely caused by a lack of manpower, although Seeculla, Luca, Edward, and Luo Jin are all the strength of the three awakenings, but the number of seventy-two pillar demon gods is too much, if the troops are stationed in the garrison, they will definitely be broken one by one, and if they are united, they will be attacked by the voice, and the doppelgangers are lacking.
As a last resort, Seokula had no choice but to ask the Allies for help again, and this time, Merlin and Serafina arrived in the Aztec Empire and inflicted heavy losses on the Monster Legion in Zacatecas, ending the winter offensive.
As soon as the war situation in the Aztec Empire stabilized, the bad news came again, Ottawa, the capital of the Kingdom of Manitoba, fell, and a large number of industrial areas and farmland fell into the hands of demons.
"I kind of get it! These demons won't fight us at all! They just want to drag us down with their numerical superiority!"
At the joint meeting of the Allied forces, Anatole, who had just recovered from his injuries, roared angrily: "We are heavily defended by the Aztec Empire, and they will go north to attack Ottawa, and if we support Ottawa, they will turn around and attack the Aztec Empire!"
"They are divided into two ways, it seems that one is real and one is virtual, but in fact it is a reflection of reality, and if we focus on defending Ottawa, then attacking the Aztec Empire is the main force, and vice versa." General Makarov said in a solemn tone: "This is all because of the gap in numbers, our top combat power is too small, and we can only be led by the nose by them..."
The atmosphere in the house is very dull, everyone can't see joy on their faces, the front line is retreating, not to mention how many pockets there are, coupled with the continuous support of the front-line materials, it has caused a lot of burden to all countries, the key is that the money has not been spent, and it has already meant a bit of a slow death!
Although the Kingdom of Manitoba did not receive Allied support, because of the construction of fortresses, the resistance to the monster legions was easier than that of the Aztec Empire, which received a lot of support, and only lost a few southern cities bordering the United States of Citi after half a year.
On the other hand, the Aztec Empire, even if the allies continued to increase their troops, they still couldn't stop the pace of aggression of the monster legions, and several large-scale battles ended in failure, costing a lot of manpower and material resources!
"Recently, the offensive of the Old Gods has suddenly slowed down, and they have retreated, returning Durango, an important northern town, to us..."
William V was puzzled by this.
"They've changed tactics." Napoleon said suddenly: "At the beginning, they wanted to capture the Aztec Empire and the Kingdom of Manitoba as quickly as possible, but after half a year of attacking, they realized that blitzkrieg was not so easy, so they changed their strategy and played a war of attrition."
"The daily cost of the front-line army is an astronomical amount, no matter how many resources and troops we invest, it will not cause too much splash, on the other hand, the more monsters that die, the more powerful they will become, and the number of monsters at the bottom will become, so if we go on like this, we must be the ones who can't hold on first!"
Caesar agreed with Napoleon's judgment very much, and he also saw the clue, and couldn't help but sigh: "These demons have really learned wise..."
War was about burning money, and supporting the Aztec Empire was fundamentally different from defending the homeland, where people could do whatever it took to protect their homeland and their own country, but it was difficult for them to be generous enough to help other countries.
As soon as the economy collapses, the demons will pounce immediately
Come up and devour them all.
Abandoning the Aztec Empire seemed to be a must-do, even if it was rich in resources.
No one objected to the proposal to retreat, but how could it be so easy?
The Allies sent to the Aztec Empire had 200,000 troops, and according to the fastest retreat speed, if all the teleportation magic arrays and ships were used, it would take three days and three nights to retreat, during which time if the demons sensed their intentions and suddenly attacked...
The consequences are unimaginable!
To cover the retreat of the Allies, Napoleon proposed the Chihuahua plan.
The plan was simple, led by Seakura, the Allies launched a fierce assault on Chihuahua, taking the demons by surprise and taking them back as quickly as possible.
This plan was well received, but...
When Seokula led his army to attack Chihuahua, he found that the Seventy-Two Pillars of Demon God were already waiting for him on the way.
The original plan for a sneak attack immediately turned into a breakout battle, and in the end, the Allies withdrew from the Aztec Empire at the cost of tens of thousands of casualties.
"How do they know what's planned?!"
Anatole was furious when he learned of this, suspecting that there were demonic female officials inside, but only the high-ranking members of the Allied Army knew the content of the plan, except for the kings, only the gods were left!
Neither the king nor the god of faith could leak the plan to the forces of the Old Gods, so the question is, how did the Old Gods know that the Allies would launch a counterattack?
"These idiots are really here."
Freya placed an ancient book on the table, sneering disdainfully.
The ancient book was sent by Arabi, what is it called the art of war, it seems to be the product of an error in the deduction process and born by chance.
Nereida used the power of the apocalypse to predict the future, and Arabi used his own kingdom of God to deduce, and according to the base plate made in the real world, of course, he could get experience beyond the present.
After the withdrawal of the Allied forces, the forces of the Old Gods easily occupied the Aztec Empire and launched a massacre against the Doomsday Party, slaughtering all those who were related to the Doomsday Party or who did not report it.
Except for the United States of Citigroup, which was the first to surrender, the Aztec Empire has almost become a purgatory on earth, and those who are unwilling to surrender have become food for the mouths of monsters, countless houses have collapsed, and monsters have wreaked havoc in the city, venting their long-suppressed desires.
The Kingdom of Manitoba was lucky, because of the construction of a large number of fortresses, which successfully delayed the attack of the monsters, coupled with the fall of the Aztec Empire and the support sent by the allies, the forces of the Old Gods seemed to have temporarily abandoned the invasion and began to rest.
"Master, we have taken Mexico City, please review..."
A gargoyle walked in front of Belier with a flattering face, its gray-blue skin clinging to his bones, and his body was bent, leading him into Mexico City.
The once prosperous capital has become a ruin, and the roars of men and the screams of women and babies can be heard from time to time in the raging flames, and monsters are scurrying in the streets, stumps and legs can be seen everywhere, and the revelry is not over.
As he walked slowly, he saw a demon wolf bite a pregnant woman's leg and drag her out of the rubble, tearing open her full belly with her fangs, ignoring the woman's fist, biting out a bloody, unformed baby.
Quack, quack...
The baby's fragile bones are like some kind of puffed food, and they have become a favorite snack for the demon wolf, and they are happy to eat.
Click...
The sound of subtle footsteps sounded in the back of his head, and the demon wolf, which thought it was his companion trying to snatch his prey, twisted his blood-stained head, bared his teeth, and let out a threatening roar, but when it saw clearly...
The tail was immediately clamped, the fangs were retracted, and the head was lowered with clear eyes, and a flattering whimper sounded.
Beryl looked at the pregnant woman who fell to the ground, the other party was not dead, her head looked to the side weakly, her eyes were desperate, a few tears quietly flowed, and she had accepted her fate.
"Master? Master..."
The gargoyle's cry woke up Belier in a daze, and he looked down, yes
Fang Zheng used his two thin and slender arms to hold the baby who was only half of his body, smiled flatteringly, and offered it as a treasure.
"Master, please."
The demon wolf on the side licked the blood stains on his lips, and he was also looking forward to Belier enjoying its prey.
Looking at the baby's corpse, for no reason, Beryl suddenly twisted his head, and his mood became irritable.
"Get out of here!"
"It's... Yes..."
Seeing that the owner was angry, the gargoyle hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and retreated to the side holding the baby's corpse, and it didn't know what was wrong with the owner, why was it angry?
Could it be because the demon wolf ate half of the baby?
It must be, how can the things that the owner likes be preemptively enjoyed?
There are no rules!
Silvery mud rose from the ground, condensed into a bewitching figure, and Freya came.
"Master, there's news from Frass that they're ready, please..."
Freya suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Beryl's brow furrowed, looking irritated, next to a pregnant woman with a dissected belly, a half-infant corpse, and an innocent demon wolf on her face.
"Take this thing away! Hurry up!"
Freya glared at the gargoyle who didn't know each other, and with a wave of her arm, she lifted a puff of sand and dust to cover the pregnant woman, and called several commander-level monsters: "Gather the remaining humans and send them to other cities!"
A burly, hairy snow ape scratched its head and wondered, "According to the rules, the next city should be carnival for three days, and this is the first day..."
Syllable!
The snow ape's head suddenly burst open like a watermelon, shook twice, and fell to the ground with a bang, without a sound.
Freya shook off the blood stains on her hands and stared coldly, "Who has a problem?"
The rest of the commanders turned around and left, scared to death.
There is nothing wrong with the problem, the key is whether the existence of the question is high enough.
As the commander under his command, where did he have the courage to question the decision of the Supreme Four Pillars?
The duty of the subordinates is to carry out the order, not the hundred thousand whys.
Soon, the surviving humans in the city were gathered, and Mexico was a big city, and even after a massacre, there were still hundreds of thousands of survivors, trembling and waiting for death to come.
"Send them to the assembly ground!"
Freya did not kill them, but sent them to the assembly ground prepared for humanity by the forces of the Old Gods.
Eating a human being who can gather a large amount of spirituality can increase its strength, but there is a limit to everything, and if you eat uncontrollably, what can't you eat?
Only by raising it in a planned way can it be inexhaustible.
After Freya gave the order, Beryl's frown finally relaxed, and his mood gradually calmed down.
"Master, what's wrong?" Butiss wondered, "I have never been angry without warning..."
"That's because there's a soul in the master."
"Mavi Enders?" Butilis was surprised, "He can have an impact on his master?"
"After all, it is the former user of the owner's body, and it is natural to leave some traces after using it for so long, how can it not have any impact at all?"
Freya said noncommittally, "According to Father Mavi's concept, he will never watch the monster cut open the belly of a pregnant woman, tell the following, be restrained, don't go too far, and make the owner unhappy."
「... Okay."
Butis spat out the serpent letter, "Why didn't the master kill the human soul?"
"Contract! Don't you know that your master has made a contract with him? Father Mavi helps his master break the seal, and he will grant him eternal life and let him return to his homeland!"
"I see..."
Butiss nodded, Freya did know many secrets that it didn't know, as an ancient god of contract, fulfilling the contract was what Belier valued most, he
Won't kill Mavi, just send him back to his hometown.
The reason why he stayed in his body was because of the problem on Arabi's side, although the other party returned, it was inconvenient for him to show up.
Before the contract is completed, it is better to listen to Freya and be more restrained.
It didn't take long for the forces of the ancient gods to launch an attack on the Central Continent, they would not waste too much time on the Manitoba Kingdom, with this effort, Paris could be defeated!
The first to be hit was the Kingdom of Carlos, a large number of monsters landed in the harbor, attacked the city at night, because it was a subject country of the Cult of Plenty, Serafina rushed overnight, and then Caesar led the army of the Roman Republic to arrive.
The war continued, in addition to the Carlos Kingdom, the First Bonaparte Empire, the West Island of the Windsor Kingdom, and the Southern Continent were all invaded by monsters, unlike the Kuroshio, the monsters were more powerful, more disciplined, and all of them were led by seventy-two pillar demon gods.
Cities that have not built fortresses are vulnerable to the onslaught of monsters, and the allies are fighting on multiple fronts, even if they continue to explode troops, they cannot resist the attack of the ancient gods, and the defense line shrinks again and again, constantly moving back, and losing a large area of land.
Another year of winter is approaching, people no longer have smiles on their faces, they become numb and pessimistic, and spirits become the best-selling commodity.
The constant reports of defeat from the front line seem to signal the coming of the end.
