Chapter 584: The long night
Whoosh, whoosh.
A biting wind swept past, lifting a half-charred leaf into the sky and stirring dust all around.
On the battlefield at the ambush site, the smoke had yet to disperse. Waves of heat rose from ground splattered with demon blood and severed limbs.
Scattered gunshots still rang out as soldiers finished off survivors on the battlefield.
A group of Ridge-Crowned People advanced with pale faces and unsteady steps. Aside from their assigned duties, the generals needed a close look at the front, while the ministers had to offer symbolic greetings on behalf of the empire's emperor.
They all instinctively kept their distance from the artillery vehicles and heavy weapons.
None of them would forget the terrifying attack earlier. It had been like harnessing the thunder of the Celestial Realm, unleashing a barrage that left the Ridge-Crowned People's meager imaginations utterly inadequate.
Light and flame spewed forth, thunder and lightning erupted, the earth shook and mountains trembled. Winds howled and waves roared, crushing everything in their path. When the battle began, tens of thousands of Ridge-Crowned People had trembled as though standing on the brink of heaven and earth collapsing.
And the terrifying appearance of Hell's demons had certainly "lived up to expectations." Those roars, those piercing howls, those enormous bodies and powerful physiques-even caught off guard by such an attack, they had still managed to fight back.
To the Ridge-Crowned People, the clash between the two sides had truly been a "battle of gods." Countless Ridge-Crowned soldiers still could not steady their pounding hearts, and countless others still wept in pain from the searing light.
From the generals of the Ganning Sen Empire down to the common soldiers, the profound shock in their hearts had yet to fade.
"Urgh, urgh!" "Splatter, splatter."
"Urgh!"
