The Position

"Third War Zone?"

"I understand."

Putting down the flashing communicator in his hand, Alger drove the giant eagle under his seat and flew to the top of the team, hovering easily in the sky.

"I believe you have also seen that facing the power of the empire, these bastards from Abyss have no chance of winning!"

"But we must not take it lightly, there are bigger tests waiting for us!

Everyone, head west along Hall Mountains! Go to Third War Zone! "

Suddenly, these Red Scale Conquerors who had just experienced a big victory became even more excited, and they could not wait to participate in the next battle.

For these imperial Fighter, the battlefield not only brings scars and death, but also glory and strength.

They waved the flags in their hands, and cheers surged like waves, echoing in the sky.

"Go!"

"For the Empire!"

After killing all the Abyss Dragon Beast legions, under the command of Alger, the Embers of the Burned Empire dragons gathered together and headed west collectively.

They will go to Third War Zone, where the battle is the fiercest, and launch a surprise attack on the demons from the flank.

Istaria Great Altar.

"The strength is quite good, almost catching up with the ordinary Adult Red Dragon. But the brain is still not very good."

Keosius was lying on the throne, watching Smaug stepping on the head of leader Abyss Dragon Beast and roaring to the sky, showing off his power, and commented in a calm tone.

He was not too worried about the Hall Mountains's battle.

Red Scale Conqueror is the sharp knife in his hand, and Smaug, who has received Bloodline Gift many times, also has power comparable to True Dragon, which is more than enough to deal with Abyss Dragon Beast.

And what concerns Keosius the most is Third War Zone.

This theater is under the direct responsibility of Imperial Marshal Dolo, and Embers of the Burned Empire's most powerful army is waiting here.

After that, there is a vast wasteland, which is home to many important military towns such as Blackstone Fortress and O'Neill City. It is almost the most important strategic location in Imperial Wall.

And this is also the location of "Great Decisive Battle" in the Military Department plan.

The demons obviously also saw this. The surging Magic Tide covered the wasteland in front of the defense line. In this war zone alone, there were hundreds of thousands of demons gathered, many of them powerful beings.

Some of these demons make Keosius even detect a hint of danger.

Keosius is very aware of the empire's weaknesses. Due to the short time since its establishment, the empire's middle and high-level forces are too scarce, and the lower-level armies are too dependent on ordnance. Their own strength is relatively weak and can easily be restrained by spells.

However, this shortcoming was made up for by the allies of the empire, and Keosius also had enough confidence in his dependents.

For the empire, this is not only a life-or-death war, but also a bloody test.

Only by adapting to this kind of high-intensity war can the empire truly gain a foothold on the Feanso Continent and even conquer the vast south.

"Hoo"

Hot white smoke spurted out from his nostrils and between his teeth, lingering around Red Dragon.

Keosius stared at the group of demons all over the mountains and plains. The light in his pale golden pupils flickered, as if he had penetrated the ferocious demonic bodies and saw the deep eyes hidden behind them.

"Jierlazarax, can you still hold back when all your Abyss Legions are wiped out?"

The corners of Red Dragon's mouth raised slightly, revealing an extremely cold smile.

And on that Magic Image, with the continuous artillery fire as the background, the empire's most elite troops were fighting with the demons.

"Boom!"

A cannonball landed among the demons, setting off a fierce fire that swallowed up hundreds of demons around it.

"Quick! Fire strike! We must not let them rush to the high ground!"

George kept shooting at the demon group and shouted anxiously.

With the support of Dragon Scale Monk, the war zone he was responsible for has basically withstood Abyss's offensive and eliminated the nearby demons.

And he also received an order from his superiors to lead the most elite troops and rushed non-stop to Third War Zone where the battle was the fiercest to provide support.

But at this moment, on this fierce battlefield, demons and imperial soldiers died every moment. A total of millions of troops from both sides were engaged in a brutal fight in this wasteland.

The earth is covered with cannon pits and ravines, the devil's blood covers the earth, and the purple-black blood gathers into rivers.

The mission of George and his more than a thousand elite soldiers is only to hold the high ground on the west side of the defense line and delay the devil's offensive.

"Boom——"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar sounded, a deep mark appeared on the ground, and a powerful cylindrical sound wave rushed towards the place where the Imperial soldiers gathered most densely.

"Ah——"

"No! It hurts!"

Suddenly, under the powerful sound waves, hundreds of imperial soldiers were blown away. The shields in their hands shattered, and blood spurted out from their ears and noses.

That's Roar Spell! George's eyes suddenly turned red. He fired several shots at the demonic group and shouted with dizzy eyes, "It's a spell caster! Disperse! Don't gather there!"

"Boom——"

However, another columnar sound wave came, the ground trembled, the rocks shattered, and dozens of human soldiers on the high ground were killed on the spot.

Just these two spells caused hundreds of casualties, directly causing the loss of more than half of George's army, and the defense on the high ground became extremely empty.

George Looking into the distance, he saw a dozen tall and ferocious figures emerging from the thick fog, followed by low and hoarse roars.

"Roar"

These demons were nearly three meters tall and covered in festering abscesses. Its tall, lean frame is decorated with patches of short mane.

They have pale ram heads with huge curved horns, cold eyes, lips dripping with sticky saliva and protruding fine needle-like teeth.

Those snake-like tails twisted, ending in a mass of twisted metal spines.

Despite their emaciated form, these beasts wield spurs too large for their size with unnerving grace.

"Bazut Demon."

George clenched the rifle in his hand and muttered to himself solemnly.

He had seen this kind of demon in the empire's internal intelligence. They existed as heavy infantry in Abyss. They were powerful monsters that reveled in splitting flesh and spilling blood.

But that alone is not enough to make George so nervous.

What's even more frightening is that these Bulezau Devil have innate spell-casting abilities and can use Command Spell, Roar Spell, Fear Spell and other spells.

Bulezau Devil is good at melee combat, and will usually cast Roar Spell at the beginning of the battle where the enemies are most densely gathered. If the battle occurs in an open area, they will use Heavy Fog Spell to block easy escape paths.

In the official rating announced by the empire, Bulezau Devil's Challenge Rating is 9, and in front of George - there are thirteen Bulezau Devil! George knew that this was definitely not something that the hundreds of elite soldiers under his command could handle. All he could do was to try to delay the enemy's offensive and wait for support from his superiors.

He took out his walkie-talkie and said anxiously, "Requesting support! Requesting support!"

"Thirteen heads of Bulezau Devil were found at Hill 014! Thirteen heads of Bulezau Devil!"

However, Bulezau Devil has already started their offensive.

A cold roar sounded.

"Ouch——"

More than a dozen Bulezau Devil ran across the ground, rushing towards the high ground where the imperial soldiers were stationed.

A cruel smile appeared on the huge ram-like head Da Tou, the snake-like tail twisted behind it, and the metal spines at the end made noisy sounds.

Bulezau Devil looks disease-ridden, but in fact its appearance is a disguise, covering up its power and ferocity.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The imperial soldiers on the high ground kept shooting, and dense bullets poured down, but the Bazuite Devils waved their bayonets.

Suddenly, thick smoke appeared in front of them, covering the sight of the imperial soldiers, so that they could only see looming figures moving at high speed.

Bullets shot into the thick fog one after another, but they were like pebbles thrown into the sea, without causing any ripples.

Suddenly, tall and thin figures rushed out of the thick fog at extremely fast speeds. They jumped high and rushed into the empire's defense line.

"Shoot! Those demons are coming!"

"Bang! Bang!"

The soldiers of the empire were shooting in panic, and some soldiers took out their spears, preparing to engage these demons in close combat.

"Shua——"

The one at the front, Bulezau Devil, waved a huge thorn fork, drawing an arc in mid-air, and incredible power burst out from his seemingly thin arms.

Suddenly, the shield of the Empire Heavy Shieldbearer who was blocking the front was split on the spot, and his head was also split in half, with blood and steel fragments flying.

The other end Bulezau Devil raised the thorn fork, pointed the tip at the place where the imperial soldiers gathered, and released a powerful sound wave.

"Boom!"

Dozens of imperial soldiers suddenly had splitting headaches and bleeding. Even the soldiers who had managed to survive due to their physical strength felt weak all over.

The Bulezau Devil showed a cruel smile and took the opportunity to stride into the imperial army's formation, waving the huge thorn fork and slashing wantonly, enjoying this rare killing feast.

Behind Bazuite Devil, countless Quasit and Primordial Devil took the opportunity to rush to the high ground and submerged the empire's position.

"Bang!"

The bullet was shot out, but it could not penetrate the demon's fur, and blood-stained thorns followed.

The same scene also appeared all over the defense line. These Bazuite Devil treated the war as fun and broke in from different directions.

Thick smoke also appeared on the high ground, and Bazuite Devil shuttled and killed in this smoke.

"Spread out!"

"It's that spell again!"

"I can't see the target clearly at all, there's thick fog everywhere!"

"Damn it, no chance! These guys with sheep heads... ah!"

In less than a minute of contact between the two sides, the position stationed by George almost collapsed, and the imperial soldiers' defense line was also in dilapidated state, and even showed rare signs of escaping.

"Is this the heavy infantry of Abyss?"

George's eyes were lowered, and the hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.

He followed the expansion of the empire and experienced almost all crushing battles. This was the first time that he felt frustrated so clearly.

Too powerful.

These Bazuite Devils are superior to the imperial army he leads in terms of their melee combat capabilities and spell casting abilities.

This was not a battle at all, it was simply a massacre, reminding him of the scene of being tortured and killed by nobles when he was a serf.

Those Northern Nobles also rode on horseback like this, waving their sabers and killing panicked serfs as a kind of fun.

George gritted his teeth, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and blood was about to flow from his mouth. The scenes in the military camp and on the the North battlefield emerged in his mind.

In the end, the picture was fixed on the majestic figure of Red Dragon Emperor with wings spread out.

George will never forget what he saw when he first gained freedom nine years ago. That scene changed his destiny.

"No"

"I, I am the blood descendant of Great Red Dragon, Baron of the Embers of the Burned Empire. I am definitely not a prey to be slaughtered by others!"

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Bazuite Devil who was killing wantonly in the military formation, his eyes were blazing, as if firelight was flashing.

He could feel that something hidden in his body had completely awakened.

George's teeth had been bitten into pieces and blood was flowing from his mouth, but he didn't care anymore.

He took out a special high-explosive bomb from his pocket, loaded it skillfully, then raised his rifle, holding his breath and aiming at Bulezau Devil, who was waving a stabbing fork.

"Bang!"

There was only one gunshot, and Bulezau Devil's eye was shot directly through the bullet, and there was a violent explosion, and half of his head was blown to pieces.

On this chaotic battlefield, George shouted loudly, "Everyone——

These Bazuite Devil are not invincible! We are the people of Red Dragon, the Fighter of the Embers of the Burned Empire, and we should never be afraid of these bastards from Abyss!

We are by no means alone! Imperial reinforcements will arrive soon, we just need to drag these Bazuite Devil here!

He took out the officer's sword engraved with the Dragon Wing pattern from his waist, raised it high, and then screamed with all his strength until blood spurted out of his mouth.

"For the Empire! For Your Majesty Keosius!"

"For the Empire!"

"For Your Majesty Keosius!"

George's shout cheered up the imperial soldiers on the battlefield. His voice seemed to have some kind of magic, containing the power of a dragon's roar.

They also shouted fanatically, and with the support of their faith, they surrounded Bazuite Devil in groups. Even if they were chopped down by thorns, they would still pull the trigger on the ground.

However, George's cry also attracted the attention of the demons.

In their opinion, as long as they kill this troublesome guy, those weak mortal creatures will turn back into the appearance of lambs waiting to be slaughtered and continue to tremble.

"A human with dragon blood is a good prey."

One Bazuite Devil smiled sinisterly, raised the thorn in his hand, and threw it suddenly.

"Shua——"

The thorns came through the air.

"This is... not good! Danger!"

George felt the danger, so he dodged at an extremely fast speed and rolled several times on the ground.

The thorn pierced the hollow and penetrated deeply into the ground.

Bazuite Devil jumped up, pulled out the thorn fork stuck in the ground, and struck hard at George, with a ferocious smile on the ram-like head.

From the demon's perspective, it was about to kill the human officer and once again enjoy the pleasure of blood splattering on his face.

At this moment, George felt the beating heart in his body continuously pumping out the hot dragon's blood. Blue veins popped up on the surface of his skin, and traces of scales appeared on his forehead.

Power, far more powerful than before, was released from his body. It was the gift of Embers of the Burned Emperor! George suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist. The muscles in his arms bulged high and bursts of steam came out.

He just used the majestic power bursting out of his body to slash at it without hesitation.

"When——"

The clear sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, but the Bazuite Devil ugly sheep's face was full of shock.

The thorn in its hand was blown away! In the battle of strength, it actually lost to the tiny human in front of it! George Incredible power erupts from its extremely thin body compared to the devil.

He roared and jumped up, almost throwing his body away, and used all his strength to insert the sword into Bazuite Devil's head.

"Suffer death, Abyss bastard!"

"Shua——"

The sword blade mercilessly Ground Spike entered Bazuite Devil's eye socket, penetrated the flesh, flesh and bones, and pierced the ram-like head.

Bazuite Devil just fell backwards, and the purple-black blood soaked the earth.

"Hoo, hoo"

George will still hold the hilt of the sword inserted into the demon's head, panting, using the sword to support his body that is about to lose strength.

In this battle, he almost burned the Red Dragon blood in his body, and then he had the power to compete with Bazuite Devil.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew through, dispersing the thick fog on the battlefield.

That's Dispel Smoke.

"Roar——"

A long dragon roar came.

George used his last strength to raise his head and saw giant dragons with shining silver flapping their wings appearing in the sky.

Then he fell to the ground contentedly, next to the demon's body, and slowly closed his eyes.

He knew that reinforcements were coming.
