Eight days after Chen Mu dealt with the potential threats on the Yi Province border, the Black Demon Emperor's army finally arrived at Moon Capital Pass.
Boom! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
In less than half an hour, Moon Capital Pass was transformed into a battlefield of Asura. This time, the vanguard of the Abyss Devil Race Clan was the Black Demon Emperor's personal guard, the Black Demon Army.
The Black Demon Army consists of five thousand Abyss Devil Race, more than five hundred of whom have reached the King Level. Moreover, two of the Black Demon Emperor's trusted generals have also come this time. Their actions have put tremendous pressure on Moon Capital Pass.
"All troops, listen up! Abandon the Rune Puppet Legion! Everyone else, get on the transport ships and escape!"
Seeing that most of the defensive weapons at Moon Capital Pass had been destroyed and the defensive formations guarding the city gates were in imminent danger, Mingye had no choice but to issue a retreat order.
Haha! You think you can just leave so easily!
The Demon Emperor's general Ahriman, was in hot pursuit. He was much stronger than Asna, and even Mingye was having a hard time dealing with him, not to mention that another Demon Emperor's general was watching from behind.
Chen Kingdom's two main warships also made an appearance, namely Pioneer Number One and Pioneer Number Two. Pioneer Number Three is currently stationed at Suspended Sword Pass. The Black Demon Emperor has also deployed a large force at Suspended Sword Pass. If Suspended Sword Pass is undefended, they may launch an attack at any time.
The Pioneer Number Two is making its first appearance on the battlefield. Currently being piloted by Gu Zi'an, it boasts the most balanced capabilities in all aspects, charging back and forth across the battlefield and slaying numerous Abyss Demon King.
Although Chen Kingdom's transport ships had little offensive capability, they were made entirely of alloy, making them difficult to sink even for Ahriman without taking some time. Therefore, the retreat of the Chen Kingdom's soldiers was relatively smooth.
About half an hour later, parts of the two main warships of the Chen Kingdom had been damaged, and Mingye and Little White Fox also looked exhausted, having consumed a great deal of energy, and were clearly about to collapse.
"Get out! All of you, get out!"
Fortunately, by this time, most of the soldiers had already boarded the transport ship, which spewed out scorching flames as it roared away towards the fleeing side.
"Chase!"
Ahriman was clearly unwilling to let Mingye and the others go, and hurriedly led the elite of the Black Demon Army to chase after them, wanting to completely annihilate the Chen Kingdom soldiers.
Whoosh... whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just then, Ahriman received a secret warning, sensing that hundreds of silver missiles were flying towards the Devil Race soldiers at Moon Capital Pass.
"Hmph! I knew you'd pull this trick again!"
The Abyss Devil Race are not a foolish race. After Asna was hit by the Spirit Particle Storm Missile at Moon Capital Pass, they already knew that Chen Kingdom had the ability to launch devastating attacks from high altitudes, so how could they not be wary of this move?
At this moment, the Demon Emperor's general, Katelin, who had not yet made a move, had already flown to the sky. Holding a skull wand, she chanted an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation. Immediately afterward, countless black crows flew out from around her and swiftly swooped down on the incoming silver missiles.
Boom! Boom boom...!
Upon contact with the silver missiles, these black crows would explode with a bang, turning into a clump of black slime that adhered to the missiles. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the silver missiles in the air were corroded away.
"Black Demon's faction, protect the army!"
Ahriman, knowing the gravity of the situation, did not pursue Chen Kingdom's fleeing soldiers any further. Instead, he immediately led his men back to help Katelin, destroying the remaining falling silver missiles.
" Katelin, do you know where the attack came from?"
Ahriman flew high into the sky, stood beside Katelin, and asked her questions.
Although the Black Demon Emperor has five generals under his command, Katelin is the Black Demon Emperor values most. This is because Katelin, like the Black Demon Emperor, is Black Shaman Demon. While Black Shaman Demon may not be stronger than the other generals in direct combat, the dark magic they wield has countless uses on the battlefield.
Katelin's eyes were closed, and her robes fluttered without wind, clearly indicating that she was casting some kind of magic. After a long while, she opened her eyes and responded to Ahriman.
"About 20,000 kilometers ahead, near the Chen Kingdom's Demon-Defending City, in a human building, there's a powerful array shielding our senses; it'll probably be difficult to deal with."
Katelin's voice was cool and aloof, her eyes calm and composed.
"Great! I've found the spot! Haha, I..."
Just as Ahriman was feeling pleased, Katelin's expression suddenly changed.
"Wait, there are still bombs that haven't been destroyed!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than hundreds of silver missiles roared towards the north of Moon Capital Pass, the direction from which the Abyss Devil Race had come.
Ahriman reacted swiftly, immediately using magical techniques to send a message to his subordinates.
" Black Demon Army, attack the aerial bombs and protect the army."
After speaking, both Demon Emperor generals quickly turned and swooped down to desperately intercept the silver missile.
Boom boom boom...!
Soon, countless mushroom clouds rose within the Devil Race army camp. Although the elite Black Demon Army intercepted hundreds of missiles at top speed, and Ahriman and Katelin destroyed many with long-range attacks, more than a hundred missiles still exploded within the Otherworldly Demon army camp.
These missiles were all Demonic Spiritual Particle Bomb, each with an attack range of five kilometers in radius. The closer to the center, the greater the power. In just a dozen breaths, they plowed through the mountains dozens of kilometers behind Moon Capital Pass.
In fact, after several years of research, the Rune Research Institute could have produced more powerful Demonic Spiritual Particle Bomb long ago. However, since Chen Mu learned that destroying nature could easily cause a backlash from the Dragon Vein, Chen Mu had them change their research focus to reducing environmental damage. This is why the power of the Demonic Spiritual Particle Bomb is about the same as it was seven years ago.
"Ugh!! I'm so angry!"
Ahriman was enraged when he saw that this round of explosions had killed at least a million of his troops, and he roared repeatedly, even smashing a nearby mountain into pieces.
"Calm down! Fortunately, we've defused the bombs in several core areas. Most of the dead were low-level Otherworldly Demon, so the overall impact is minimal. Don't panic!"
Katelin was much calmer and spoke up to stop Ahriman's behavior.
After being reprimanded by Katelin, Ahriman took a deep breath and calmed down considerably. He turned to look in the direction of the Chen Kingdom's Demon-Defending City, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.
"We must first eliminate this long-range attack structure, otherwise it will be difficult for us to continue this war."
They had made ample preparations and precautions this time, but they still didn't expect to be caught off guard by the missile. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
They could already imagine that if Chen Kingdom's missile bases continued to exist, then no matter how the war progressed, they would only be running around frantically, with no chance of taking the initiative in the war.
"That's right. I'll report the situation here to Lord Black Demon right now. We can't delay; we must destroy it as quickly as possible."
Katelin wholeheartedly agreed and made the decision immediately.
