#35 - Chapter 35 Crushing Hope - Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

“Whoosh!”

“General, watch out!”

“Thud!”

Just as Mace Copper Hammer was still in a daze, an attendant he had personally promoted pounced on him, using his back to take the brunt of the abyssal fire.

In the next second, this loyal attendant was struck by the abyssal fire, and died wailing in front of Mace Copper Hammer.

In less than two seconds, half of the poor attendant's body surface was charred, and his internal organs were burned into some kind of foul-smelling liquid.

“You bastard!”

Seeing this scene, Mace Copper Hammer finally flew into a rage.

Even though he knew he shouldn't be impulsive at this crucial moment, the tragic death of those around him still enraged him to the extreme.

Wielding a bronze giant hammer, he directly activated his battle aura, enveloping his entire body.

Then, he abandoned the corpse of his attendant and quickly charged towards the heroic unit, Imp Matriarch Caroline.

The battle between ordinary creatures and demons is often like this.

Either the ordinary creatures are influenced by the brutality of the demons in battle, becoming weak and timid.

Or they are lured by the brutality of the demons in battle, becoming as brutal as the demons.

However, Mace Copper Hammer's attendants showed extraordinary courage at this moment.

These warriors, who had once sworn to fight for the general, split into two groups, one group stopping Mace Copper Hammer, who wanted to die for his cause, and the other group rushing towards Imp Matriarch Caroline, who also wanted to kill him, before Mace Copper Hammer could reach her.

But unfortunately.

The real enemy that the second group had to face at this time was not Imp Matriarch Caroline, nor the abyssal dragons around Imp Matriarch Caroline.

The real enemy they had to face was the Abyssal Lord who commanded the former two.

At the instant when this group of dwarven attendants began their heroic charge, Wu Wei, who possessed the Eyes of War, had already seen their respective trajectories.

So, Wu Wei temporarily distracted himself and personally directed about twelve little devils to stand in front of Imp Matriarch Caroline.

Whenever this group of dwarven attendants swung their weapons, there would always be little devils appearing in time on the attack path of their weapons, rendering their attacks ineffective.

And when they wanted to change their positions, there would always be a little devil "precisely" blocking the path they wanted to move to, making them unable to move.

All attacks were seen through by Wu Wei.

And Imp Matriarch Caroline was so happy that she didn't even need to attack much, slapping the dwarves who were inexplicably dizzy around her unconscious with one palm each.

Although she could directly slap them to death, she wouldn't do that.

Because in her twisted and evil mind, living dwarves are tastier than dead dwarves.

Especially when they are struggling in her bloody mouth.....

“General, we can't hold on anymore!”

“More and more demons have broken through our defenses and poured into the main body of the kingdom passage.”

The first group of attendants responsible for stopping their superior general said in a panic.

“No matter how angry you are, don't forget that you are the commander!”

“Only you can lead the remaining brothers to escape from here, they can't die in vain, that's thousands of lives!”

Hearing this, Mace Copper Hammer finally came out of the mental tyranny caused by the demon infection.

He looked up and glanced at the surrounding battle situation.

His attendants were right, the battle for the kingdom passage had come to an end.

The demons had won.

One node after another was cleared by the demons, and one warrior after another was captured and殘殺 by the demons.

Although many dwarven warriors had knelt down and begged for mercy because of the demons' brutality, there were still a considerable number of dwarven warriors fighting to the death for their kingdom.

If he were to die here, then these people would have sacrificed in vain.

Rather than letting everyone die here, he might as well lead the army to retreat quickly, establish a second line of defense from the rear, and wait for the support of the remaining reinforcements.

Anyway, the current demons' invasion of the king's passage is not deep enough, as long as there are enough reinforcements...

The dwarves still have hope of regaining this passage!

Thinking of this, Mace Copper Hammer finally ordered the surviving warriors to approach him and then evacuate from here.

However....

Wu Wei, who is well versed in the art of war, is best at, and most likes to do, is to extinguish the other party's hope!

The moment Mace Copper Hammer gave the order, the brain that would dedicate countless wars to the abyss had already noticed all of this.

A few minutes ago.

In the territory of the Abyssal Lord.

“Very good attributes, the corrupted abyssal dragon is indeed very suitable for my current army.”

After seeing the corrupted abyssal dragon massacre the battlefield in its first battle, Wu Wei nodded in satisfaction.

【Corrupted Abyssal Dragon】

【Level 9 unit, costing seven thousand resource points.】

【Can only be manufactured from the Bloodline Contamination Room.】

【Attributes: Strength 12 Intelligence 5 Constitution 7 Perception 3 Agility 4 Charm -4】

【Physical Defense: 12, Magic Defense: 7】

【Skills: Abyssal Fire, Fireproof Scales.】

【Abyssal Fire: The abyssal dragon spews out a flame, burning the enemy and dealing 300 points of corrosive damage for 3 seconds.】

【Fireproof Scales: This creature is immune to natural flames.】

Although the cost is a bit expensive, the appearance of the abyssal dragon has indeed made up for the shortcoming of Wu Wei's current army in siege warfare.

Although there are demon warriors in the Abyssal Hatchery that are more suitable for siege warfare than the abyssal dragon, Wu Wei does not currently have the scarce resources to manufacture them.

So, the current abyssal dragon is very suitable for Wu Wei's current situation in all aspects.

However, just as Wu Wei was still carefully observing the actual performance of the abyssal dragon and preparing to find a better way to control them.

The dwarven general Mace Copper Hammer began to retreat.

“Hmm?”

Wu Wei opened his scarlet eyes with vertical pupils and looked at the battlefield.

“It's somewhat different from what I expected, this commander with an unusually rough command didn't choose to fight to the death....”

“Was it interfered with by his companions?”

Wu Wei noticed the attendants around Mace Copper Hammer, it was they who interfered with Mace Copper Hammer's original plan.

“Hehe, so you still have hope, preparing to build a second line of defense.”

“It's a pity, hope is something that....”

On the throne, this Abyssal Lord revealed a smile.

“Itself is used to be destroyed!”

“The more you regard hope as your lifeline, the easier it is for you to fall into the abyss of despair.”

“Since you embrace hope so ardently, then I want to see what your expression will be when hope turns into despair!”
