Chapter 718 - Assembly
Periphery of the Demon Territory.
After widespread expansion, the burning Purgatory grounds had instantly engulfed many huge army camps.
The large campsite that Fang Yuan had previously quickly stopped in was naturally one of those.
“E-Evil Demon!”
After the eclipse, the adventurers and soldiers looked at the rapid changes of their surrounding environment in astonishment. The temperature had risen and flames were dancing.
Suddenly, the silhouettes of Evil Demons appeared from the horizon.
The small Evil Demons in front exceeded a hundred thousand, while the large Evil Demons were like the leaders of small teams, completely inconspicuous within.
Furthermore, there were obese demon elephants a few stories tall. They were carrying Mothers of Worms, which had immensely corrosive poison, and Flame Evil Demons, whose entire bodies were covered in flames… Various high-level Evil Demons appeared together and led huge armies, immediately bringing about great destruction to the humans.
Death and destruction always occurred on these territories.
“Attack!”
In one of the armies, a commander roared loudly, “Behind us are our lands and loved ones. We can’t retreat! Not even one step!”
Unfortunately, these ordinary people made of flesh and blood were at a huge disadvantage in front of Evil Demons.
As for the bazaar, the adventurers were very united, assembling a unit of elites to perform a few ambushes. Unfortunately, they were firmly resisted by the Evil Demon wave tactics.
“President, what should we do?!”
At the center of a camp, a group of high-level professionals gathered and stared at an adventurer with a white beard.
His stature was tall and was currently wearing battle armor, looking like a timeless War God.
This was the president of the local Adventurer Society, a Legend warrior!
In terms of strength, it was somewhat high. But for the defense of the Demon Territory, this was necessary.
“The eclipse and expansion of this Demon Territory…”
Even though he was a Legend, President Bard could not currently make a resolute decision.
His heart still remained with the previous shock.
The closer he was to the rules and the strong beings in contact with the world’s intrinsic nature, the more he sensed the horror of the previous eclipse.Someone… has touched the domain of the Sun God? Furthermore, could it be a Son of Purgatory who caused this phenomenon of the Demon Territory expanding? To the world, I’m afraid this is the most terrible news…
Of course, at this moment, he should first consider himself and about how he should launch the ambush.
Bard looked around.
The ones present were all high-level professionals, and they even had many elites under their command. Even for swarming to kill a Legend Evil Demon, this type of force was already sufficient.
But most importantly, within the Evil Demon armies, there was not merely one Legend Evil Demon!
He could clearly detect the dangers.
Even if we separate into groups to ambush them, perhaps each group would be destroyed by the Evil Demons waiting comfortably for us to become exhausted? Even the probability of us escaping is very low… there are really too many Evil Demons…
Bard sighed in his heart before hearing a great deal noises and screams ringing from somewhere closeby.
The Evil Demons were madly attacking the army camps and wantonly slaughtering the humans outside.
“I’ve decided. We need to stubbornly defend and await assistance!” He calmed down and looked at the surrounding leaders. “The huge armies here come from five different countries, two of which are empires! After receiving the news, they’ll definitely dispatch reinforcements. Additionally, I’ve used various channels to send information to the headquarters and various churches. As long as we persist for some time, we can definitely wait for the reinforcements to arrive!”
A few leaders looked at each other and nodded. “In that case, we’ll continue defending with our lives on the line!”
If all else failed, separating into attack groups was the final tactic. Even a Legend would not have full assurance of escaping with their life.
Not to mention, their subordinates and loved ones would definitely suffer heavy losses if they tried to break out, possibly being completely annihilated.
Thus, they could only defend their current position and wait for that last trace of hope!
In fact, hope came very rapidly. The expected reinforcements arrived with unprecedented speed.
Not long later, the worried Bard received news that made him stunned—nearly all of the nations on the continent, as well as churches, had dispatched their elite for the Demon Territory.
Three days later.
“It’s Rogo’s Camp in front!”
Like a steel flood, a huge army slowly entered the Demon Territory. All inside were wearing armor and exuding the imposing manner of professionals, all extremely elite. The small waves of Evil Demons were continually smashed like ocean spray before them.
Their leader rode on a bright and beautiful white horse.
This horse was taller than a common horse by two heads, had an unparalleled magnificence, and emitted radiance. It shockingly carried the bloodline of a heavenly horse from the God World.
It was rumored that heavenly horses were a favorite of the Gods and commonly used to pull their carriages. Someone who could ride a heavenly horse was an inborn king, even if it was only the descendant of a heavenly horse!
This youth wearing bright armor was named William. He was a prince of the Sacred Radiant Empire and had noble blood and a powerful mother. When he was born, he was already crowned the successor.
The Sacred Radiant Empire was also the most powerful country on the continent. Their Radiant Knights had the privilege of being called the continent’s most powerful army.
This sort of person was naturally a favored child of the world and a proud child of heaven!
Right now, William was looking at the Evil Demon armies and unwavering determination appeared on his face. “As a human, I need to defend the peace of the realm. Leading the entire continent to resist the demonic crisis is also the responsibility of our empire!”
“Praise you, Your Highness!” Beside him, a few archbishops’ eyes lit up upon hearing this.
With the threat of the Evil Demons, humans had a rare chance to start burying the hatchet, having the tendency of uniting.
“Reporting!” At this moment, a scout came forward. “We’ve already communicated with the frontline camps and confirmed that there are a hundred thousand Evil Demons surrounding them. There are innumerable high-level Evil Demons and three Legend Evil Demons have already appeared!”
Sss…
After hearing these numbers, even the attendants at the side took a deep cold breath.
“This is truly a catastrophe of the entire human race. Evil Demons…” William gritted his teeth and suddenly looked in one direction. “This time… I’m afraid we’ll need to rely on the powers of the Life Lady and the Mother Earth Goddess!”
“No problem!” A bishop of the Life Goddess stood up. “The powers of the Evil Demons are currently infecting the lands. This is a violation toward the Lord! This time… I’ve already brought the Son of God!”
Son of God Heim!
It could be said that the more horrifying the dangers of the Evil Demons were, the faster his reputation spread!
The Son of Salvation! The hope of the world! The favorite child of the Gods… Many halos enveloped his body, and even William was slightly jealous.
“Your Highness!” A knight in sky-blue armor stepped out and slightly bowed toward William.
“Son of God, I’ll leave it in your hands!” William slightly nodded. “As long as we can succeed this time, I’ll definitely report your contributions to my father and erect a status of you in the Scared Plaza!”
“All of the honor and glory belongs to my God!”
Although Heim had experienced expedited growth, his words were appropriate and had a sense of propriety.
Furthermore, just his tone carried a power that was able to heal the heart.
Seeing his back, although William was filled with smiles, there was instead a gloomy look in his eyes.
“Evil Demons…” Heim whipped his horse and went to the front of the large army.
The army’s arrival was naturally detected long ago by the Evil Demon army. Many small groups were scattered in the surroundings, and there were even large Evil Demons investigating in the sky.
Seeing this scene, he suddenly took a deep breath.
A power that resembled a domain but not quite suddenly enveloped a radius of ten miles using him as the center.
“Purification Domain!”
This was an innate ability that he was born with, which could annihilate the Evil Demons’ infection and even weaken divinity!
Furthermore, with his maturity, the domain’s range also unceasingly expanded, reaching its current limit.
Caw! Caw!
The large Evil Demons in the sky felt this the most clearly.
They howled and desperately flapped their wings, but instead became extremely weak and unable to continue flying. One by one, they plummeted from the sky and exploded into flesh and blood on the ground.
The Evil Demons on the ground howled as white smoke emitted from their bodies, causing them to start slowly melting.
The Purification Domain’s power obtained a huge increase. Even a high-level Evil Demon lost its vitality and strength under this light, being easily exterminated.
“Charge!” Seeing this, William’s gaze brightly lit up as he waved his knight sword. “Kill them all!!!”
The Radiant Knights shouted loudly and became a torrential flood, charging toward the Evil Demons.
The pastors also unleashed their methods as various enhancements landed on the soldiers.
With their combined strength, the originally horrifying large Evil Demon army was easily split apart like a hot knife through butter..
Seeing this, the people in the camps immediately started cheering.
“Damned humans!”
Within the large Evil Demon army, a few gigantic Evil Demons roared and charged toward Heim. Each of them was a Legend!
And only those at their rank were able to move about freely in the Purification Domain.
“Quickly, protect Master Heim!”
Even without Prince William’s command, the many Legends concealed within the armies charged toward the sky, going out to receive the Evil Demons’ offense.
Furthermore, the Evil Demons were at a complete disadvantage, without any hope of recovery.
After one battle, much blood was shed.
The Evil Demons’ corpses piled up into mountains. It was similar for corpses of the human soldiers.
Anyone walking across the battlefield would feel gloomy in their heart.
With Prince William breaking the siege of Rogo’s Camp and rescuing the large armies, good news successively arrived.
Reinforcements from various nations continued to stream in, and the number of Legends even reached ten.
Nearly all of the Gods had dispatched great amounts of troops to pry into the Demon Territory.
Furthermore, a few had already secretly come with their true bodies.
After all, the safety and whereabouts of the Sun God was really too important.
And after the siege was lifted, those adventurers originally wandering in the Demon Territory also returned.
They were both fortunate and unfortunate. Although they had evaded the misfortune of being besieged, they still encountered numerous life-threatening events in the Demon Territory, which had already largely changed its appearance, with dangers becoming more rampant.
To successfully survive and return to their camps, these people were the lucky within the lucky.
