Chapter 70: Extreme Martial Legion! Dragon Knight!
In the blink of an eye, countless eight-legged metal monsters surged up, and countless black energy slammed into the location of the enchantment seal. It was full of onlookers before, but at this moment, it has dispersed. Only a few mages were left in their place, guarding the magic circle that activated the enchantment seal.
Although these magicians were already trembling with fright, they did not flee, after all, they were sent here by the Empire to manage the barrier, and if they left their posts without permission, even if they had the life to go back, the final result would not be much better.
However, at this moment, they can only give their only glimmer of hope to this enchantment, because they know that this enchantment, even if it unites the power of the ten main gods, it is impossible to break it, so they are still confident that these monsters will not be able to break the seal.
Of course, they are not stupid, as early as when the monsters attacked the city, they had already reported the situation in the border land through the transmission magic array, at this moment as long as they held on for a while, when the time came, the masters of the empire and the "Extreme Martial Legion" close to the south could rush to the aid here. At that time, no matter how strong the opponent is, they are confident that they will defeat it, and this is the absolute confidence in the strength of the "Extreme Martial Legion".
The "Extreme Martial Legion" is the third-ranked legion among the ten major legions of the Demon Martial Empire, and it is also the only legion composed of pure cavalry. Their duty was to reinforce the western line. In the event of an invasion of the southwest, they will form a steel line of defense with the Empire's seventh-ranked Sunset Legion.
Although the Demon Empire did not send a legion to guard the junction of the southern sand sea, because the "Extreme Martial Legion" is located in the south, if anyone really wants to attack the empire from the sand sea, the "Extreme Martial Legion" can also be reinforced in the shortest possible time.
Originally, the southwest of the Demon Empire was a rainforest area with lush trees, which was very unfavorable for the march of cavalry, but because it was near the southwest frontier of the empire, it was a subtropical grassland, and it was also a place where it was handed over to two principalities and a small empire under the Bright Empire. Even if there is a war, it will be fought on the grassland, so that it will not affect their performance. In normal times, the "Jiwu Legion" is guarded in the "Luoyun City" two hundred miles east of the southwest fortress.
Since the three small states bordering the location were not strong, the empire simply sent a weaker legion to defend it. As for the "Extreme Martial Legion", the most important thing is to prevent the Bright Empire from attacking through three small countries. As long as the Bright Empire intervenes, the "Extreme Martial Legion" can rush to the southwest fortress for defense in the shortest possible time.
The southernmost of the three small states bordering the Demon Empire, the Duchy of Mason, is a habitat connected to the steppe elves. Further south is the "Whispering Forest" inhabited by the elves. However, since the elves retreated into the clan land, they basically did not have much interaction with humans, and most of the elves that appeared on the continent today are grassland elves and exiled night elves. Therefore, further south, there will not be much threat.
Of course, if the elven clan vainly tries to attack the Demon Empire, there are only two ways to choose, one is to come through the sand sea, but this possibility is very low, after all, you have to pass through the center of the sand sea on the way, and not many people on the continent can really know what is going on there. The other way, that is the southwest location, but because of the buffer of the Duchy of Mason, it also gives the Demon Empire enough time to deploy. Even if it is attacked, as long as the southwest fortress holds out for an hour, the powerful "Extreme Martial Legion" can rush to support.
The rainforest terrain in the south, but it is connected to the sand sea, so it will not be attacked under normal circumstances, but even if it is attacked, it has a "Extreme Martial Legion", and it can quickly rush to help.
If it is said that ordinary cavalry cannot march and fight quickly in the wooded rainforest environment, however, the "Extreme Martial Legion" is not affected by this restriction, because the "Extreme Martial Legion" is not a cavalry legion in the ordinary sense, and their mounts are almost all wurm mounts.
The "Extreme Martial Legion" has ten brigades with a total of 300,000 people, including three Earth Dragon Knights, three Pterodactyl Knights, three Velocitor Knights, two Wyvern Knights, two Sand Lizard Knights and two Jungle Crocodile Orders. If the south is attacked, you only need to deploy the Wyvern Knights, Pterodactyl Knights, Velociraptor Knights, and Jungle Crocodile Knights to quickly support.
Each of the soldiers in the "Extreme Martial Legion" is at least level 5 in strength, which also makes the overall strength of the "Extreme Martial Legion" extremely strong. Legion Leader Sauron and the two deputy legion leaders Kavin and Andre are only three of the twenty dragon knights in the continent, and their own strength is also at the level of fighting gods. Of course, among the remaining dragon knights, there are two dragon knights who also belong to the Demon Empire, and they mainly exist to protect the imperial capital.
The other thirteen deputy captains of the "Extreme Martial Legion" also have saint-level strength, and they are all the top existences among the various wurm cavalry. Such a strong combat power is the main reason why the surrounding countries that are truly deterred do not dare to attack the Demon Martial Empire easily.
Although there are many high-level powerhouses in the Demon Martial Empire, the real war still depends on ordinary human soldiers. It was established with the establishment of the ten major legions of the Demon Warrior Empire from the time of the Demon Warrior Emperor. However, at that time, the "Extreme Martial Legion" only had 20,000 people, mainly because the number of wurms was small, and it was impossible to really form combat power, so the "Extreme Martial Legion" only existed as a deterrent legion. However, when the Demon Martial Emperor was crisscrossing the continent, the role played by this legion can be said to be indispensable.
After three thousand developments, the "Extreme Martial Legion" has such a powerful combat power as it does today. Although it is only known as the third legion of the empire, if it is really said, it will definitely not be inferior to the first "Demon Warrior Legion" and the second "Blood Moon Legion".
The "Demon Martial Legion" is a legion formed by the Demon Martial Emperor himself, and it is known as the strongest legion in the mainland, and it is also the legion that he really relied on back then. Although there were only 100,000 people, each of them was a Demon Martial Arts Dual Cultivation Master with a tenth-level strength. And the commander of the "Monster Legion" is also a god-level mid-level demon martial arts double cultivation master, and his strength will not be weaker than that of the master at the peak of the sword god. The four deputy legion commanders also have the strength of the first level of the god level, and there are also eight people who have reached the strength of the holy level. This kind of strength also makes the "Demon Martial Legion" firmly on the throne of the first legion of the Demon Empire. Today's "Demon Martial Legion" mainly guards the imperial capital of the Demon Martial Empire, and their camp is Lulun City, sixty miles southeast of the capital of the Demon Martial Emperor. As for why he didn't stay in the imperial capital, the main reason was that there were many forces from all sides in the imperial capital, and there were 30,000 garrisons guarding it, so it was not too necessary.
There was a riot in the imperial capital that time, and if the "Demon Warrior Legion" was there, it was fully capable of resisting the devastating thunderstorm.
As for the "Blood Moon Legion", the main role of this legion is to garrison the border of the "West Pole Mountains", and the main purpose is to defend against attacks from the "West Pole Mountains" magical beasts. And the "Blood Moon Mercenary Regiment" is actually a branch of the "Blood Moon Legion". The "Blood Moon Legion" selects a large number of outstanding talents every year, and the main talent selected is from the "Blood Moon Mercenary Group", of course, the premise must be the people of the Demon Empire. And the number of the "Blood Moon Legion" is also the smallest number of legions in the entire Emperor ** Regiment, only 70,000 people, but it is the legion with the most masters, there are six god-level masters alone, and there are more than 20 saint-level masters. And the strength of ordinary sergeants is also above level eight. Although the average strength is not as good as that of the "Demon Warrior Legion", it is not much different in terms of overall strength.
At this moment, several magicians guarding the magic array on the edge of the enchantment, and the enchantment that was bombarded by the shock, couldn't help but communicate a lot. Seeing that the countless eight-legged metal monsters were not far in front of them, placing their long legs on the enchantment, constantly dissolving the weakest seal of the enchantment, the fear in their hearts was even greater.
At this moment, although the giant eyes in the sky are bombarding wildly, the enchantment shows no signs of collapsing, and those giant eyes are basically doing useless work. But at the location of this seal, after being attacked by those long-legged monsters, the enchantment has begun to show signs of loosening and dissolving.
These monsters with a cold and bloodthirsty aura, and the cold and terrifying giant eyes, all violently stimulated their fragile nerves.
These magicians could imagine that when this enchantment was blasted open a hole, those monsters would inevitably flood in, and at that time, those who were only seven or eight levels strong would definitely be torn to pieces. And they can't run away in embarrassment like those adventurers, because their hope for survival can only be pinned on the "Extreme Martial Army" that rushed over.
"Roar!"
In the distance, a heaven-shaking dragon roar came, and immediately, a small black dot moving rapidly appeared in the dark sky. And at the very front of those little black dots, there was a dragon that radiated a fiery red light. The fiery breath and the powerful coercion, even if the distance is still far away, can still bring a strong sense of oppression to people.
The Fire Dragon Knight Kavin, who mounts the Saint-level Fire Dragon Aletus, is very likely to advance to the existence of the Divine Dragon. Although its strength is not as strong as that of the Divine Dragon, it is no different.
At the age of forty-seven, Kavin is also the youngest dragon knight on the continent. Compared to the average age of the mainland, he is still a young man, as one of the three dragon knights of the "Extreme Martial Legion", and also commands a flying dragon knight order, and even heard that he is likely to become the next leader of the "Extreme Martial Legion".
Far away, Calvin led the Wyvern Knights who belonged to him to arrive. Although the order was received a little suddenly, the departure was relatively hasty, and the distance was relatively far, but the Wyvern Knights under his command were able to rush to the border town in just over half an hour, and if they got closer, they could find that these Wyvern Knights flew in a very neat formation, and everyone did not show any impatience and panic on their faces, calm, calm, and fearless, which is a condition that an army must have. It can also be derived from here, and Kavin does have a hand in commanding troops.
The adventurers who were fleeing in the town had already stopped to watch after hearing the sound of the dragon's groan, and they couldn't help but cheer when they saw the arrival of the Flying Dragon Knights, the third ranked "Extreme Martial Legion in the Empire", as if someone who could fight against the demons on the other side of the enchantment had arrived. Even many people no longer think of escaping, but some expect the barrier to be broken, and then the "Extreme Martial Legion" will rush up and teach those monsters a good lesson.
More than 20,000 wyverns, carrying their knights, under the leadership of Kavin, will soon reach the sky above the barrier. Along the way, he met countless fleeing adventurers, but at that time, he was so bent on coming to the rescue that he didn't have the time to pay attention to these "refugees".
Originally, he was in a hurry when he received the task, and the information from the border city was not very clear, so he did not know what kind of trouble he was encountering here.
To be on the safe side, he deliberately brought out the entire knight order under his command, and asked Hilt to lead his Sand Lizard Knights, and Anthony to lead his Velociraptor Knights as ground reinforcements, and rushed here together. And because of the speed of his Wyvern Knights, he went to the border town first to rescue.
At this moment, after seeing the chaotic situation in the border city, he couldn't help frowning, but when he shifted his gaze to the other side of the enchantment, he found that the sky was covered with countless huge eyes, and each giant eye was constantly emitting rays of light, and after these lights bombarded the enchantment, they caused countless ripples. This kind of scene made the battle-hardened Calvin feel a little numb, as if the opponent he faced had exceeded his expectations.
The sea of sand on the other side of the enchantment has turned into a huge crater at this moment, and countless huge metal monsters in it are densely piled up in it, and these close to the edge of the enchantment are even constantly corroding and attacking the seal position, and it seems that under this corrosion, the enchantment seal position has begun to crack, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be broken, and the dense monsters will also set foot in the territory of the Demon Empire.
For the crater-like ground, Kaven was very shocked in his heart. This kind of destructive power seems to have far surpassed the scope of god-level masters, and he can't help but be a little worried at the moment, whether the people he brought can fight against the enemy.
What Kavin is most worried about at the moment is that with the Wyvern Legion, it seems that there is no way to fight against these monsters on the ground at all, after all, the strength of the Wyvern can only be exerted in the sky, and it cannot fight against the Earth Dragon and the like on the ground. If the ground is attacked, it will be difficult for him to solve it.
Fortunately, there were two ground troops coming before, so he only needed to focus on the giant eye in the sky, and as for the monsters below, he left it to the other two deputy commanders to solve them.
However, it will take at least half an hour for the other two deputy legions to reach the border town, but those monsters don't seem to take that long to enter, and it is clear to Kavin that he must do his best to delay the other party for half an hour.
