Chapter 1213: The Real Tremor

A blazing light flickered. This dazzling brilliance brought death and destruction. Even the heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and equipped with thick shields could not be spared. They were instantly vaporized. Only part of the metal wreckage were left on the ground.

The blazing light only flickered intermittently. It would take a while to shine again while those flaming boulders falling from the sky were bombarding one after another without stopping. When the boulders fell to the ground, they would explode. The soldiers near the center were thrown away by the air waves one after another. Even if the soldiers survived, their tendons and bones would be broken.

If the light of a magic crystal cannon was like lightning and the flaming boulders of the catapult was like thunder, then a ballista was like a hailstorm that was strong enough to pierce the steel shield. After the explosion, the highly poisonous broken blade shot around with more intensive lethality.

Lightning, thunder, and hail were mixed with countless arrows and bullets, quickly harvesting the Human Coalition Army’s life.

After the long-range attack, teams of heavy armor cavalry appeared on the horizon. Although this terrain was not a complete plain, the demon cavalries were not riding ordinary horses, but ferocious beasts like wolves or tigers. They were sprinting on this rough terrain like they were on a plain. Both calvaries and beasts were covered with sophisticated and sturdy armor. The uniform black armor and black scimitars gave a thrilling sense of sight. They trampled on the trembling ground like a black torrent rolling forward.

The magic guns or bows and arrows of the Human Coalition Army couldn’t pierce the iron armor on the cavalries and the beasts at all. Wherever the torrent passed, there were all trampled and flattened corpses.

General Riley, the front commander of the Human Coalition Army, was trying his best to command the defensive formation. There were many wounds on his body; the most obvious being a gunshot wound. This was even the result under the desperate protection of the elite guards. The demon snipers were too terrifying. They targeted many small team commanders in the coalition army, which made the scene even more out of control.

As an excellent commander, Riley had deduced the offensive and defensive scenes of fighting against the main force of demons in his mind more than once. However, when the army of demons really came, he realized that the real battle situation had already surpassed his deduction. Perhaps it should be said that the demons’ combat power far exceeded his expectations.

This was an unequal battle. The better strategy, more advanced and powerful weapons, and fiercer combat power determined the one-sided situation. Despite desperate resistance, the Human Coalition Army still couldn’t escape being slaughtered and crushed. What frightened Riley the most was that the demons showed an amazing team attack ability, which was actually not inferior to the magic array formation that humans relied on most!

Not only that, those huge familiar figures also appeared in the sky, flying and diving while throwing magic bombs. They were almost omnipotent. Someone had already called out the name of ‘assemble puppets’. This was a unit that only existed in magic games! It was not surprising that the Demon Realm had the same magic game. The dragons had already explained it at the beginning. What’s terrifying was that the demons actually created the killing weapon that was only in the illusory! And it was almost the same as the power in the game!

“Stay in formation! Hold on tight!” Riley yelled loudly for a while, feeling dizzy and unable to hold on. Not only his injuries, but the Human Coalition Army as a whole.

“Bang!“

It is this damn sniper rifle again. The last elite guard beside him also fell down.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Riley raised his sword, wanting to continue to command, but found that he had lost the last of his strength. He felt the world was spinning around him as his body was getting lighter and lighter.

Human Coalition Army Command Center.

“What?! Riley was wiped out! So fast!” Lex the Great, who had always been calm, was astounded. The rest of the generals were all pale.

Although it was expected that Riley’s army would be severely hit, they never expected that they would be completely wiped out. Plus, it was in such a short period of time!

As expected by General Sandro, the power of demons was stronger than imagined! Much stronger!

“The central army is currently under siege, and General Haus is asking for reinforcements.” Oswain said hastily, “Should we increase our troops and support the central army as soon as possible?”

“No reinforcements!” Sandro said, “The demons will definitely go all out in this counterattack. If we send in more troops, it will only increase unnecessary casualties. The only way is to abandon the central army! The rear army immediately withdraws from the ‘door’! Avoid more casualties!”

With that said, Sandro clenched his fists tightly with a hint of agony in his eyes, because Haus was the general of the Blue Glory Empire. He was also a close friend who had been with him through life and death. Nonetheless, as a member of the command that controlled the entire coalition army, he could only make this decision.

“But……”

“No but.” Lex the Great stood up, “Under any circumstances, abandoning comrades-in-arms is a painful decision and a shame, but we have to do this. Otherwise, we will lose more comrades-in-arms! This time I will take full responsibility for my poor decision-making.”

“No, I’m also responsible.” Sandro sighed, “It can be said that everyone present is responsible. However, as I said before, this war is just a prelude.”

Everyone nodded. Lex the Great nodded when he saw that Sandro took the initiative to lead everyone to take responsibility. He immediately gave the order to retreat, then he changed his tone, “This battle taught us a painful lesson, but it was also not in vain. At least, the combat power of demons has been evaluated. This combat power is far beyond our imagination, but they are not invincible. In the history of humans, we have defeated enemies stronger than us more than once. Demons are just one of them. Besides, over the years, the demons have never won a real victory. We will wash away the shame today with the blood of the demons! I believe we won’t wait too long for this time!”

Lex the Great deserved to be 1 of the 2 holy rulers. He lifted everyone’s fighting spirit with just a few words.

Sandro agreed, “That’s right! The most urgent thing is to immediately mobilize the strongest troops to ambush around the door. At the same time, quickly fortify the defense zone of the Golden Estate. The demons will probably take advantage of the current momentum to advance while driving the defeated soldiers all the way. We can wait for their arrival and give them a great gift.”

Everyone agreed. Lex the Great sighed secretly. Originally, he chose to take the initiative to attack, mainly because he wanted to catch the opponent by surprise, but he might also have the intention of preventing the Golden Estate from becoming the main battlefield. Now that the demons were powerful, they could only retreat to the Golden Estate. Yerodisha would certainly not be able to escape the impact. Even if they finally defeated the demons, the entire Dragon Bright Empire would suffer heavy losses. It was hard to say whether the power of the former Holy Empire could be restored. Consequently, the Holy Church cult would definitely not let go of this opportunity to ‘help’. By then, there would probably be a bloodless but more difficult war at that time.

As expected, the vanguard force of the central army that entered the Demon Realm was wiped out. General Haus was killed, and the rear army also suffered a fierce attack. Fortunately, they retreated early, so a handful of the soldiers survived until they all evacuated from the Demon Realm. The survivors all had only one expression on their faces, fear.

However, after eliminating most of the rear army, the demons did not rush into the human world through the door while they were having the advantage. Instead, they retreated back in an orderly manner, leaving the Golden Estate’s urgently prepared ambush in vain.

People in various countries in the human world had learned that the coalition army vanguard forces had suffered a defeat, but the exact number of casualties was not very clear. Lex the Great also made a public speech, “Our opponent this time is not only unprecedentedly cruel and cunning, but they are also quite patient just like an experienced hunter. Therefore, we must work together and prepare for a new battle. This hunting game is just the beginning. Who is the hunter and who is the prey? It’s too early to say…”

In addition, there was unexpected news that a group of orcs troops had joined the Human Coalition Army. The orcs originally lived in the Nightmare Wilderness. A few years ago, the Holy Church organized a united army of various empires in the name of heresy and besieged the orcs, almost exterminating their tribe.

No one knew where these orcs came from, and they actually joined the Human Coalition Army, which they had a blood feud. If you were to explain that these crude orcs ‘understand righteousness’ or something, even the orcs themselves would not believe it.

However, now was an extraordinary period, and the orcs could be considered a part of the human world. This time, the Human Coalition Army was not only composed of human empires, but also elves, dragons, and hobbits. If they rashly attacked the orcs, these races other than the human race would definitely have worries. Princess Philly of the elf tribe took the lead in expressing her welcome to the orcs. The dragons and the hobbits naturally had no objections. Under this background, the orcs finally successfully joined the Human Coalition Army.

The commander and generals of the coalition army headquarters also expressed their welcome. Due to various considerations, Lex the Great and others did not ask the dragons, elves, and the hobbits to join the vanguard forces that entered the Demon Realm. Now these orcs were fierce and brave. They were most suitable for confronting demons head-on, which was simply the most needed cannon fodders. Why should they refuse?

The addition of orcs was just a small interlude. The focus of everyone’s attention was still on the door between the 2 worlds.

After the previous battle, the ‘door’ fell into a state of silence again, but both the Demon Realm and the human world were very clear that this silence was just a race against time to charge greater power. The next battle would be a real collision between the 2 sides. It was likely to completely shock the 2 worlds. This moment would definitely not be too long!

At this time, another place that had been ‘quiet’ for many years finally began to shake.

The ground of Nightmare Volcano trembled.

The entire landform was slowly undulating as if something was starting to expand.

At this time, those huge runes hidden on the ground began to appear, shining with green brilliance.

After the power of expansion was illuminated by the green light, it trembled slightly and gradually shrank again. However, it had not completely calmed down. Then, it began to expand again. 2 completely different forces of shrinking and expansion were constantly contending.

The man in the cloak stood with a clutch in his hand, watching all this quietly.

Everything in the vicinity trembled under this huge force. There were even cracks in the clouds in the sky, and there was a bleeding red between the cracks.

The tremor finally calmed down, but the gaze of the man in the cloak did not relax in the slightest. Just like that war, the tremor was only just beginning, the real tremor.
