Vol 2 Chapter 897: army of demons
Chapter 897 Demon Army
At this time, Nanling is already a sea of gunpowder and flames.
Except for the Xiahui Territory, other territories and cities have all suffered extremely high-intensity attacks, and the methods are different.
Some territories were attacked by self-explosive convoys—an audited, theoretically harmless convoy carrying a whole vehicle of high explosives rushed into the center of the city and detonated.
A black mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and the shock wave produced crushed all the bewildered people around, and the subsequent screams and howls also resounded through the world.
In some villages and cities, they encountered some brand-new plague attacks.
The originally quiet mountain village was covered with dark blood and human bones, and the human corpses on the ground were rapidly 'rotting'... No, that wasn't decay, but melting.
"Help, help, is there a doctor..."
A festered man struggled to get out of his house, but before taking a few steps, he spit out a mouthful of black blood, and his whole body rotted on the ground like mud.
In a village close to the mountains, the mud walls were torn down, the fences were swept away, a tiger confronted a giant bear, and in the middle of them were the mutilated corpses of human beings who had been eaten.
Most of them resisted, which can be seen from the traces of crossbow arrows on the edge of the village, but in the face of the power of berserk monsters, villages without sublimators are just fish and meat.
The child holding his breath was hidden in the closet by his parents, holding back tears and covering his mouth, but a hungry wolf gradually approached, its eyes were blood red.
No survivors.
This kind of scene appears everywhere in Nanling, even Nauman City, although the inner city is safe, but the outer city also encountered a "airship fall" - the psykers stationed and a second-level knight order Resisted with all their strength, but the wreckage still fell into the port, destroying fifteen ships, large and small.
For a time, gunpowder smoke was everywhere, the city was bloody, and fear and confusion pervaded the land.
By recovering data and iterating technology, Flameland's special combat technology has made another leap forward.
Moreover, because of the use of the new technology 'fusion demon', except for the Yinfeng Territory, all the key city territories of Nanling north of Indigo Mountain have encountered attacks that were more intense than before.
Theoretically speaking, Nanling should not be so heavily infiltrated. Even if there are fusion demons, not all fusion demons are fusion shadows, and they can fully obtain the memory of every soul they devour.
Not to mention, other territories have no souls, even if they devour people, they cannot obtain all the information in the brain.
But not to mention the "fusion demon" is purely as a spy, except for the Yinfeng leader who has the heart of Terra to guard the Void Realm, other places are basically equivalent to undefended... There are also many nobles in Nanling who secretly have connections with Feiyan Land.
It may be that they have cooperated before, they may have been in contact recently, and they may even have joined forces for a short time, intending to deal with the rise of the Yinfeng collar.
After all, a local overlord like Ian is more terrifying than the blocked Flameland far away in the western war zone.
If Ian's Silver Peak leader can be slowed down and given a chance to breathe, they don't mind making way for Feiyandi.
But alas.
Flameland's appetite has never been just one Earl of Silver Peak—the entire South Ridge is their goal.
But these imperial nobles who have stayed in the remote frontier for too long have long forgotten this. The path they let is the path that they were crushed into ashes.
And... the Flamelands aren't blocked from the Western Plains.
They have already started marching.
The former Grand Duke Sorin is now the "Forest of Lost Soul and Mist".
After Grand Duke Sorin mobilized the power of the entire Principality to become the king of the dead, and escaped into the center of the earth to create a kingdom of hell, the original Grand Duke Sorin completely turned into a world of fog.
The original cities, villages, mountains and forests were all shrouded in pale white mist... But any life with self-awareness will lose its sanity and become unconscious within a short time after stepping into it.
It’s okay to not have a soul, as long as you pull it out, you can wake up, but if you have a soul but can’t resist the invasion of the fog, then the moment you lose your sanity, the soul will be forcibly stripped, causing serious damage to the brain.
Those who enter must die, forcibly absorbing soul and mind, so the original Grand Duchy of Sorin has become another restricted area on Terra.
At the edge of the foggy forest covered in white, there are blockades and fortresses set up by the empire, as well as observation points that are extremely close to the fog and are specially used for guarding.
There has been no abnormality here for two years, and the imperial soldiers guarding the foggy border have become a little lax.
"Do we really have to stay here all the time, looking at the white fog area for half a day every day?"
A scout stared at the seemingly eternal white mist country, his eyes were like salted fish, and he complained: "And I need to write three reports every day, I would rather go to the western front and fight the flames to the death!"
"Be content." His partner is a veteran in his 60s who has experienced several armed conflicts between the Empire and Flamingo, and joked: "In such a peaceful place, it is enough to write reports every day." Being able to receive military pay is considered a blessing, I believe you will never want to go to the real battlefield, where there is nothing but meat sauce and people who will be bombed into meat sauce in the future."
"Bolognese?"
The scout was a little shaken. He is indeed a young man, and he decided to join the army out of enthusiasm: "But at least it must be a bit challenging, right? We are soldiers..."
The veteran patted his partner on the shoulder: "The highest honor of a soldier is that there is no war. You have to understand that our duty is to defend our country, not to kill people."
The veteran saw it very clearly, and he perfectly understood the meaning of a soldier.
But obviously, these words containing survival wisdom will not be so easily listened to by young people: "But without glory and military merit, we can't be promoted."
He couldn't bear to be like a veteran, just a sergeant for decades.
The veteran who had already retired long ago, but re-enlisted because of the emergency warning order in the Western Territory, didn't say much.
At least this silly boy can still imagine some glory, blood and passion in a safe place, instead of dying in the shelling of a certain fortress, which is considered a good thing.
not to mention…
"Our place is not that safe after all..."
The veteran narrowed his eyes and looked at the pale white mist in front of him.
As a soldier who really participated in the Terra War, even if it was only a regional conflict, he knew very well that the recent confrontation between the Empire and Flameland was nothing more than a test of each other, a threat of the beast baring its fangs before it really attacked.
If it is really an all-out war between the two countries—not a 'doomsday war' in which the fourth and fifth energy levels are fully dispatched to destroy both sides indiscriminately—then at the very least, there will be hundreds of armored squads gathered into a dozen large groups. The legion carried out lightning strikes on cities in the enemy's territory, destroyed roads and farmland, and completely eliminated the possibility of supply and support for the enemy's fortress.
But there will only be one chance of such a surprise attack, so before the attack, both sides must grasp the intelligence of all the key areas of the other side, so intelligence warfare is extremely important.
Grand Duke Sorin is located on the border of the western border, and it was the only way for Feiyandi to enter the empire. Although it is basically impossible for anyone to pass through this dead land, if Feiyandi really has any special technology Woolen cloth?
These 'small strongholds' that report intelligence three times a day are living warning lights that remind of this 'possibility'.
Just like underground prospectors bring mice or canaries, they threaten with life warning.
Veterans do not reject this kind of duty. Every soldier has his own glory, but sometimes this kind of glory does not require fighting to achieve... It is best not to have fighting and glory. .
But this beautiful wish has never been realized.
As everyone knows, no one can pass through this land because of the realm of the dead king of Lord Thorin.
But what if, not human?
Some kind of... demon?
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the originally calm foggy area, just like the concentric circles of rainwater dripping on the calm lake surface.
Seeing this scene, the young scout was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression: "An accident happened!"
The veteran on the side stared wide-eyed, looking at the foggy area with the eyes of a ghost: "An accident happened!"
When the young scout was about to do something, the veteran grabbed the shoulders of his colleagues and retreated without hesitation—in the backyard of this small stronghold, there is a small flying shuttle, which is more like a rocket-assisted aircraft than an aircraft. The push escape capsule can launch a person tens of kilometers into the sky, and then land with a parachute.
This is the escape method that all imperial strongholds stationed in dangerous areas will have, and it is the only feasible escape method for them today.
"Wait, what are you doing..."
The young soldier didn't understand why his senior ran so fast, and he didn't see what was behind those ripples, so he was taken away in a daze: "We must at least see clearly what is coming, Can I go back and report?"
"Fool!"
The veteran roared: "Is it too late to see?"
"It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it appears, it means that something is wrong!"
The fact is true.
Boom—hum!
When the number of countless ripples reached a limit, accompanied by a bang, a violent explosion appeared on the edge of the originally silent foggy area.
Pitch-black smoke and dust scattered in all directions, flying embers flickered sparks in mid-air, and at the edge of the original fog, a huge crimson virtual portal appeared in the real world.
Blood-red radiance flowed out of it, like a river condensed by death, and countless monsters with twisted and strange shapes, not so much monsters as alien monsters who came out of nightmares, climbed out of this portal , into the human world along the river.
right. They are the monsters that came out of the nightmare, the agglomeration of the evil and chaos of human nature in the void, the embodiment of all blood and evil.
Devil.
The demons lined up neatly on the ground in front of the portal, like an extremely efficient army. Even if there was an escape rocket flying away from here not far away, they did not move at all before receiving the order.
If scholars who specialize in demon research come here, they will find that the demon troops that came to the side of the misty area through the virtual portal are not fusion demons or real demons, most of them are It is a 'wicked devil' who does not have spiritual power and special abilities, but only has a physical form.
But even so, it is very terrifying—the lemures are pure virtual life, and ordinary troops have no power to resist them. Although they don't know what method Fei Yandi used to control these demons, they seem to be banned, and they have already Be a disciplined and orderly army!
【General, do you really want to let the imperial escape shuttle go away】
Among the demons, one is the leader, a 'fusion demon' who has a nearly human image, and is called a general by other fusion demons who are officers.
He heard the report from his subordinates, glanced at the accelerating rocket in the distance, and showed a cold smile: [This is our purpose... Let the people of the empire know that we are coming, and be terrified by it]
【Let them escape, it is best to record all our next marches and spread them... As long as the war continues and blood spreads on the ground, our goal will be achieved】
He raised his hand, and the evil demon army stood at attention: [you despicable man-made demons, if you want to take shape, you should have undergone several years of testing and adjustment...but the kings need you to sacrifice your life and take blood]
【Go to kill, release your nature—promote your nature, and elevate yourself! 】
【When you get enough souls and fear, enough resentment and despair, you will become real demons】
【And the 'Evil Demon Legion' will become the real 'Immortal' legion! 】
Extended from the Dead River Project, the Artificial Demon Project and the Artificial Psyker Project are "outside and inside" of each other. After the research in other directions suffered setbacks for some reason, resources were poured into it and the development process was accelerated. .
If the Dead River Armed Forces had not been taken away from the Avak laboratory, and there were a little more research data left, this road might not have developed so rapidly.
But now, a different path has emerged in the world.
Countless nightmare monsters poured out from the blood-red portal, and then rushed towards the back of the Western Plains.
Terra 775, June 1st, the Flameland summer offensive started, codenamed 'Scorched Earth'.
On June 2, the Evil Legion cut off the supply line of the Western Front Fortress Group. The local militia tried to resist and was massacred.
On June 5th, the 23rd Army of the Empire and the Evil Legion confronted each other on Morphy Avenue in the west.
But the follow-up attacking legion stated that they found that the lemur legion burned and slaughtered all the cities and villages along the way. These demons did not leave a single living body, only a piece of scorched earth.
On June 6th, the psykers of the imperial military were astonished to discover that a pitch-black flame was burning in the void of the western provinces of the empire—all souls, resentments, hatred, and despair were condensed and brewed there, turning into pure black poisonous wine, Spread across the land of the void.
The Void Realm has been corrupted, and all the source matter and spiritual energy fields have been corrupted by the black resentment, turning them into soil that amplifies the power of demons.
Indistinctly, in the dark mist that has enveloped half of the Western Territory, among the flesh and blood and despair where many lives have disappeared...something weird is being bred.
Its shape is like a dragon, like a giant, towering like a god, and hideous like a demon.
This is... the Void Mech. The power of the abyss spark restored by the virtual machine **** technology, the beginning and end of all demon technology.
【With blood and tears as eyes, despair as bones; resentment as flesh, lamentation as breath】
Watching this scene, the fusion demon general 'Death Knell' smiled and watched the giant being gradually perfected in the depths of the void: [Our desire is the soul, our hatred is the wings - for hundreds of years, the empire has been flying against us For all the death inflicted by the earth, we will pay back! 】
【So let’s vacate—】
【Our dragon of the abyss! 】
In the deepest part of the dark mist, six scarlet eyes gradually lit up, with the light of lava and blood in them, like dim suns.
The pitch-black wings slowly lifted up, covering the sky and the sun.
And in the far south.
Another sun is watching from afar.
