The Otherworldly Demon ' intelligence network was not weak. After investigating the Pioneer Number Three that had appeared in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, they quickly deduced that it was a secret weapon of the Chen Kingdom.
Therefore, they had anticipated the possibility of Pioneer Number Three appearing in this battle at Moon Capital Pass, but they did not expect that what would happen this time would be Pioneer Number One, which was even larger than Pioneer Number Three.
"Lord Asna, according to the intelligence, this steel monster is almost twice the size of the one from the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, and is probably much more difficult to deal with. Chen Kingdom is really hiding his true strength."
Behind Asna, a Otherworldly Demon Emperor sighed.
Originally, the region where Chen Kingdom was located was remote and desolate, so the Otherworldly Demon were not very interested in it. This was because the Otherworldly Demon could only evolve quickly by devouring humans, while the effect of eating monsters was far less effective. Moreover, Chen Kingdom territory was vast, making the cost of attacking it too high, far less profitable than attacking cities in the Central Land.
On the other hand, the Otherworldly Demon Emperor all knew that Chen Kingdom had a close relationship with the Temple, and the Devil Master had ordered that they should not antagonize the Temple unless absolutely necessary, so they simply ignored the existence of the Chen Kingdom.
In their eyes, this small force, whose strongest members numbered only a few King Level beings, was no better than a swarm of ants; they didn't even bother to pay it any attention.
Unexpectedly, more than half a month ago, the Chen Kingdom suddenly displayed astonishing military power, began attacking the territory of West Ge Province, and also disrupted the Heart Demon Emperor's deployment at the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.
Currently, among the six Otherworldly Demon Emperor, the fifth-ranked Black Demon Emperor Xilade, is in charge of the West Ge Province war zone. After learning about the Chen Kingdom's actions, he was furious and specially arranged for his capable general Asna, to come and order him to teach Chen Kingdom a lesson.
"Hmph! No matter how well ants hide, they can't possibly threaten the demon elephant."
With me here, I'm sure I can take this bloated, giant iron worm apart.
Despite the differences from his expectations, Asna remained confident because he had prepared countermeasures in advance.
At this time, the Chen Kingdom army had slowly assembled five kilometers outside Moon Capital Pass, formed its battle formation, and was ready to attack at any moment.
Standing atop the Pioneer Number One, Chen Mu glanced at the sky, then waved his hand, issuing a crisp and decisive command.
"Attack!"
Tap tap...!
The heavily armored infantry of the Blazing Bear Legion, all clad in full-body alloy armor and topped with massive shields as tall as a person, charged step by step toward the gates of Moon Capital Pass, resembling heavy tanks.
Although the pass of Moon Capital Pass is not as narrow as Suspended Sword Pass, it is still less than two kilometers long. Such a narrow pass is easily filled by the soldiers of the Blazing Bear Legion.
Behind the Blazing Bear Legion was the Royal Cavalry Army Corps led by Yin Zhan. As long as the Blazing Bear Legion could break through the city gate, the Hegemon Cavalry Soldiers could transform into a sharp blade, charging straight into the pass and tearing the legion behind the pass to pieces.
Further away, Zheng Fengdao led his special Rune Artifacts troops forward for a distance before setting up camp. Long-range artillerymen, snipers, and others were dispersed to various concealed positions to support the battle ahead.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...! Clang clang clang...!
The first to attack were the spear-throwing Otherworldly Demon. The Throwing Otherworldly Demon stationed at Moon Capital Pass were extremely elite. The Blazing Bear Legion had barely entered a three-kilometer radius when they were already being covered by spears.
However, the shields wielded by the Fierce Bear Army were incredibly sturdy and equipped with runes that reduced force, so at such a distance, the spears could not inflict much damage.
Pfft...! Biubiu...!
Zheng Fengdao's special Rune Artifacts army also opened fire one Moon Capital Pass, and snipers also taking action to attack enemies peeking out from the city walls.
Boom boom boom...!
The Otherworldly Demon were not to be trifled with. Many of the cannonballs were destroyed by the demonic energy while they were still in the air. After all, Otherworldly Demon above the General Level had the ability to release demonic energy. Even if they used the mother-child cannonballs together, the effect would not be significant.
On the city wall appeared a type of Shaman Demon dressed in black robes. They were called Black Shaman Demon. They could cast black magic, similar to the talismanic arts of the Pan Emperor Continent. Their numbers were small, and each one was at least at the General Level, so they only appeared in high-level battles.
There were nearly a thousand Black Shaman Demon on the city wall. They chanted loudly at the same time, creating protective shields that blocked most of the cannonballs flying onto the city wall. Only a very few were able to fly to the ground, and there were not many casualties.
" The Otherworldly Demon are indeed well-prepared; they won't be easy to deal with!"
Chen Mu, atop the Pioneer Number One, surveyed the battlefield and muttered to himself.
As the Blazing Bear Legion approached Moon Capital Pass, the Otherworldly Demon ' superior firepower intensified, with demonic energy projectiles, arrows, and even boulders appearing in addition to spears.
Behind Moon Capital Pass, a group of Giant Demon were stationed. To ensure the accuracy of their throws, the Giant Demon only began their attack when the Blazing Bear Legion entered within two kilometers of Moon Capital Pass.
Boom boom boom...!
In addition to their throwing power, the boulders also hindered the army's advance. Therefore, the Blazing Bear Legion not only had to block the boulders but also break them to avoid affecting the advance of subsequent troops, which put them under considerable pressure.
This is where the advanced nature of the Chen Kingdom's weapons becomes apparent. The Blazing Bear Legion's heavy armor and large shields all have energy storage capabilities, and as long as there is a sufficient supply of Spirit Stone, their endurance is extremely formidable.
As the vanguard, Chen Mu naturally provided them with Spirit Stone, so even though the Blazing Bear Legion advanced slowly, they still overcame all obstacles and gradually approached Moon Capital Pass.
" Hegemon Battle Formation! Spear Thrust Sea!"
Behind the Blazing Bear Legion, Yin Zhan sensed the danger posed by the Blazing Bear Legion and immediately commanded the Overlord Hegemon Cavalry to unleash their battle formation technique, Spear Thrust Sea.
Spear Thrust Sea is a mid-range combat skill that can cover a distance of about one kilometer around the Hegemon Cavalry, which is just right to help the Blazing Bear Legion. This is also an important reason why the Hegemon Cavalry is arranged behind the Blazing Bear Legion.
Countless slender spear shadows flew out, shattering the boulders, spears, and demonic energy projectiles above the Blazing Bear Legion into dust, while the seamless battle formation ensured their own safety; the two worked together perfectly.
"These humans are really tenacious!"
But it doesn't matter, they'll soon find out that it was all for nothing! Hmph..."
On the city wall of Moon Capital Pass, Asna stared intently at the charging Blazing Bear Corps, a cold expression on his face.
Before long, a group of otherworldly Otherworldly Demon dressed in patterned robes stepped out from the city wall of Moon Capital Pass. These were ordinary Shaman Demon, and their numbers were dozens of times greater than those of the Black Shaman Demon. They began to chant loudly almost simultaneously.
"Amoya... shadong..."
The eerie tone seemed to possess a magical power, and a dense demonic aura began to spread from Moon Capital Pass. This demonic aura spread outward from Moon Demon Pass for four or five kilometers before stopping.
"Lord of all demons! Hear your servant's plea and let the Abyss descend!"
The leader of the Shaman Demon shouted loudly, and the dense demonic energy around them surged and even rose into the air, turning into dark clouds that blocked out the sun.
