Massacre

"Boom!"

"Hahahaha! That felt great! I've never had such a satisfying blast before!"

"The battle was exhilarating!"

Behind the defensive line, in the artillery position, the Ogre Da Tou, the commander-in-chief of the First Artillery Legion, laughed loudly, his fat belly trembling.

"Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, the artillerymen on the position were working hard, with hundreds of heavy cannons firing continuously, pouring shells into the surging Magic Tide, causing the ground to tremble violently.

In this war, there were more than a dozen artillery corps like this, each with a designated bombing zone to ensure effective Fire Coverage.

Da Tou skillfully loaded several shells, each weighing over a hundred kilograms, into the specially made giant cannon and launched them with a deafening roar.

He raised his binoculars and looked at the distant wasteland, where he saw a mushroom cloud rising into the sky, and hundreds more Quasit and Quasit were swallowed up by the explosion.

"These demons are natural targets!"

The Ogre yelled at the rest of the heavy artillery legion, "Where are all those experimental products from the Technology Department? Bring them over and let us try them out! Haha, we were just worried about not having any use for these things, now it's a good opportunity to let these demons personally verify their effectiveness for us!"

"Boom!"

Another shell exploded above the demon legion, this time releasing white smoke.

But when the smoke came into contact with the Quasit ' bodies, their exposed skin ignited, and their rotting flesh melted down to their bones! "Aaaah!"

"Aww—"

Hundreds of demons struggled and howled in the flames, rolling on the ground until they were burned to ashes.

That's White Phosphorus Bomb.

This cruel weapon, openly opposed by domestic scholars, is capable of causing immense damage, yet it is perfectly suited for use against demons.

"Boom!"

Another shell exploded in mid-air, releasing blinding lightning in addition to shrapnel, instantly knocking down all the demons within a hundred-meter radius.

—This is the latest Elemental Cannon Shell researched by the Imperial Technology Department. It can select the corresponding elemental energy to unleash extremely terrifying power.

Immediately afterwards, cannonballs engraved with various inscriptions exploded in the demon legion, with various effects such as flames, radiance, force fields, lightning, and even frost appearing in the Magic Tide.

As for the demons flying in the sky, the Empire's methods were even more ruthless. Specially designed shells that exploded in mid-air released thousands of shrapnel fragments in an instant, instantly shooting down hundreds of demons in the vicinity.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The bombardment continued, and the intense artillery fire slowed the demon legion's advance considerably.

In the sky, the trajectories of artillery shells wove into a complex network, enveloping the entire plain beneath them.

The artillery fire formed an invisible wall of blood and fire, mercilessly crushing all the demons that tried to force their way in.

Gunsmoke filled the land, and the entire wasteland trembled. In the areas where the artillery fire was most intense, there were huge craters everywhere, and even the hillsides were leveled.

But the number of demons was simply too great; even such intense artillery fire could not completely halt their advance.

"Go ahead!"

"Their attack is negligible! Advance! Do you want to be utterly destroyed by Lord Jerrazak?"

Leo roared amidst the howling cannon fire as he rode on the back of the Abyss Dragon Beast, whipping his long whip through the air with a sharp, whistling sound.

Compared to being reborn from Blood Pool, these demons fear complete annihilation more.

Moreover, the Quasit are terrified of higher demons who are more powerful than themselves—a fear that even surpasses the fear of death itself.

Under his intimidation, the Quasit braved the fierce gunfire and marched over the bodies of their comrades, rushing towards death.

Another series of deafening explosions engulfed the area where the Quasit were, instantly turning hundreds and thousands of demons into charred remains and disappearing from the Prime Material Plane.

"Too slow, too slow! Lord Jerrazak won't be satisfied!"

Leo thought to himself as he watched the endless stream of demons falling one after another, only to die one after another.

In fact, he was very well adapted to the environment of the Abyss, which was extremely hierarchical. These Quasit were like the serfs of the the North, the lowest of the low and beings that could be consumed at will.

However, the Quasit Demon is inherently stupid and slow-moving, making it inefficient in combat and only able to rely on sheer numbers to hold off the enemy.

"Weak and lowly bastards"

Looking at the Quasit of dead demons before him, mowed down like weeds by artillery fire, Leo gritted his teeth.

He knew he had to change the current situation to have any chance of revenge.

"Glabrezu Legion, charge!"

He raised his Flame Longsword and shouted commands at the demons that resembled giant toads.

These demons have armor-like skin covered in scales and extremely damp, and their bodies reek of filth.

Glabrezu serve as infantry among the demons of the Abyss. Although they are strong and robust, they are low in intelligence and are often easily deceived by more powerful demons, fighting for them with their lives.

"Roar--"

"Crush those humans!"

The Glabrezu leader raised his fist and swung it, charging at the forefront, followed closely by dozens of Glabrezu Fighter, heading towards the area littered with cannon fire.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Shells rained down, but they caused few casualties, and the Glabrezu ' speed did not decrease much.

These demons have armor-like skin and a certain degree of fire resistance. Whether it's exploding flames or flying shrapnel, they are difficult to harm unless hit at close range.

These Glabrezu have simple desires: the thrill of devouring live prey and the pleasure of destroying or shattering beautiful things with their clenched fists.

Hahahaha!

Their attack is weak and ineffective! Charge with me!

The Glabrezu leader laughed wildly as it dodged the falling shells, weaving through the gunfire as it charged toward the empire's defenses.

"Eat these bastards from the Prime Material Plane alive! Destroy their empire!"

"Snap!"

Just as the Glabrezu leader was shouting triumphantly, a crisp sound came from its feet, and it felt something being stepped on.

The Glabrezu looked down in confusion, scratched its head, and continued charging forward.

The instant he lifted his foot—

"Boom!"

Flames shot into the sky, and a huge mushroom cloud appeared on the battlefield. Even Glabrezu would be seriously injured by such a close-range explosion.

"Damn it!"

You worms bred by Quasit! You despicable humans!

The Glabrezu's once thick legs had turned into charred charcoal. It struggled on the ground, clutching its legs, and continued to curse at the Imperial Wall.

"Click".

Another crisp sound.

The Glabrezu turned his head in disbelief, only to see a device that his torso was pressing against flashing red light.

"Boom!"

Another mushroom cloud rose on the battlefield. This time, the Glabrezu Demon's body was blasted open, and it did not survive.

The same thing happened to the dozens of Glabrezu and thousands of Quasit that broke through the artillery barrage.

This is the second gift the Imperial Military Department prepared for the demons who came from the Abyss —a minefield.

In an area 1,000 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide in front of the defensive line, the Empire buried most of the landmines produced over the years, estimated to be more than 300,000.

Some of them have been magically enhanced, enabling them to kill mid-level demons at close range.
