"The fish's in the net! Looks like we can reel it in."
Inside the command hall of the Demon-Defending City, Chen Mu stared at the panoramic simulation sand table in front of him, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
Just then, Chen Mu received the latest news from Suspended Sword Pass.
"General Yaboluo, a general under the Black Demon Emperor, has appeared outside the Suspended Sword Pass with a large army. It is estimated that he will launch an attack on the Suspended Sword Pass at the same time that Ahriman attacks the base."
Chen Mu was not surprised when he received the news. The Black Demon Emperor had suffered such a great loss at his hands. If he did not get revenge as soon as possible, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the Devil Race race. Therefore, he would definitely go all out.
"Come on! So what if you're from another region? You dare to steal my territory? I'll make you cry your way back."
Chen Mu zoomed in on the panoramic map in front of him and sent out instructions one by one.
"Move the entire army out to encircle and annihilate the Black Demon Emperor's army, leaving them all here."
Less than half an hour after Ahriman and his army had encamped, he heard a great deal of bad news from his scouts.
"Report! Troops are gathering to the north and are heading towards us. Their numbers are estimated at 500,000, mainly cavalry..."
"Report! A troop of about 200,000 soldiers is approaching from the northwest..."
"Report! Rune Puppet Legion is advancing towards our position from XX city to the due west..."
"Just as I expected, they want to fight us to the death here!"
After discovering that her army was surrounded, Katelin was not panicked at all; instead, she showed a sense of complete control.
"Heh heh, if having a lot of ants could kill a dragon, then the world would have been ruled by ants long ago."
Ahriman also seemed disdainful, having already anticipated this situation when they decided to venture deep into enemy territory alone.
"However, we still need to be cautious and avoid too many casualties here, otherwise we'll be in trouble when we return to Liang Province."
More than half a month ago, their Black Demon Army defeated the Holy Spirit Legion of the Saint Clan and took nearly half of Liang Province, which is why they were able to spare their main force to attack Chen Kingdom.
However, the Saint Clan is not to be trifled with and could retaliate at any time. Kaitelin, being farsighted, had to make plans in advance.
"That's for sure! Now it's your turn to work hard. I'll let them rest for another incense stick's time, and then they'll get up and build up the defenses."
"Alright, I'll make the first move."
After Katelin finished speaking, she rose into the air, stopped mid-air, and began chanting a spell.
Boom! Whoosh!
It was already Dusk, and the sun on the horizon had faded to a mere red glow. As Katelin chanted, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky.
"Lord of all demons, heed the call of your people and grant me the Domain of Ten Thousand Demons!"
With a flick of her wrist, Katelin tossed out a hundred shimmering black gems, which then flew out and fell downwards.
As these hundred gems descended, they gradually melted away, turning into endless demonic energy that spread in all directions. Before long, the area within a radius of hundreds of miles became a place shrouded in black mist.
As the black gem dissipated, a flicker of pain crossed Katelin's face, but she immediately relaxed once the Domain of Ten Thousand Demons was successfully formed.
The effect of the Domain of Ten Thousand Demons is somewhat similar to the ' Abyss Devil Prison ' that appeared at the Moon Capital Pass, but its effect is much worse, and it can only strengthen the Devil Race and not weaken the Human Clan.
However, it also has advantages, namely, a wider coverage area and compatibility with Spiritual Power, making it less likely to be rejected.
Not long after, the Chen Kingdom's army split into dozens of groups, forming a semi-circle to surround the Black Demon Emperor's army. In front of the Black Demon Emperor's army was Military Base No. 1, to the left was the Demon-Defending City, and to the right was the vast, highly poisonous swamp forest.
To ensure speed, the Black Demon Emperor's army deployed elite soldiers for this advance, numbering approximately two million, with even the lowest-ranking soldiers being High-Level Demon Soldier.
The troops from the Chen Kingdom surrounding the Black Demon Emperor 'Black Demon Emperor army, although two to three times larger, were primarily composed of low-level martial artists.
In comparison, the Black Demon Emperor's army was two levels higher in quality than the Chen Kingdom's army. Under these circumstances, the Chen Kingdom's army had no advantage whatsoever, which is why Ahriman was so confident and dared to venture deep into enemy territory alone.
"Kill! For the glory of the Chen Kingdom!"
However, the soldiers of the Chen Kingdom did not hesitate. After the army completed the encirclement, they launched an attack on the Black Demon Emperor's army without hesitation.
The decisive battle took place on a vast plain. Although there were some small hills and forests scattered around, these minor terrain changes would not affect the overall situation compared to the battle of millions of troops.
Boom boom boom... Crack crack crack...!
The vanguard of the Chen Kingdom was mainly composed of the Iron Rune Puppet Legion, or, according to the internal terminology of the Rune Research Institute, it would be more appropriate to call them the Robot Legion.
These robots are not like the latest models that Chen Xuezhen brought back. Many of the robots here are older models, and the alloy materials are not as good as the new ones, so their combat power varies. Some are even only equivalent to the second or third level of martial arts.
However, they were all equipped with guns and cannons, making them far more lethal than warriors of the same level in war. Once they charged together, they put enormous pressure on the Black Demon Emperor's army.
"Shieldbearers, hold them off!! Shaman Demon, heal them quickly!"
The Chen Kingdom Rune Technology, but the Abyss Devil Race also possess magic and magical skills. Although Rune Technology is superior to the magic of the Abyss Devil Race in terms of skill, the two sides have vastly different foundations, and the Chen Kingdom's army does not hold a clear advantage.
From the air, the battle of millions of troops looks like a dense swarm of ants fighting. Accompanied by the constantly rising brilliant fireworks and the flashes of combat skills, one can tell that countless lives are falling and perishing.
At this moment, even the usually rational Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh at the insignificance and fragility of life.
However, this momentary feeling would not affect his decision. He was as hard as iron, calmly watching the countless lives of soldiers perish on the panoramic map, completely unmoved.
An hour later, the Chen Kingdom had suffered nearly 1.5 million casualties. Although about one million of them were robots, more than 500,000 human soldiers had also died.
"All troops, listen to my command: retreat and return to your respective cities to rest and recuperate."
At this point, Chen Mu withdrew his troops.
Whoosh! Tap tap tap...!
Almost as soon as Chen Mu issued the order, the Chen Kingdom soldiers turned around without hesitation, splitting into countless small streams and retreating from all directions.
At this time, the casualties of the Black Demon Emperor's army were only around 200,000.
