"Okay, I was just about to go there to upgrade my weapons too."
After I finish upgrading, I'm planning to sign up for the next attack on the Black Demon Emperor's army. Do you want to sign up?
"Sign up? Of course I'll sign up! As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Back in the day, we fought to the death for the tribe just for a few Spirit Stone to help us break through."
Now, a single battle we fight yields Spirit Stone worth dozens of times more than what we earned back then. What more could I ask for? If I don't work my ass off, I feel like I'm letting down all the hardships I endured back then."
The man in military uniform laughed heartily and hurried towards the merit exchange area with his companion.
It was late at night, around 2 AM.
The Black Demon Emperor's army, having finally had enough rest, rose up under Ahriman's leadership and launched a full-scale attack on Military Base No. 1.
Boom boom boom! Rat tat tat...!
The Black Demon Emperor's army, advancing in orderly formation in the darkness, resembled the giant hand of an ancient troll, poised to utterly destroy Military Base No. 1.
Report! A large number of troops have appeared again from the rear and are charging towards our army. It is estimated that they are going to surround our army again.
Having learned from his previous experience, Ahriman placed scouts in key positions, so he quickly learned of the Chen Kingdom army's movements.
"Hmph! Like ants trying to shake a tree, ignore them. Let's destroy the camp ahead first."
At this point, Ahriman could clearly see the appearance of Military Base No. 1 ahead.
This is a fortress made entirely of alloy steel. Although it covers an area of only forty square kilometers, many of its buildings are two to three thousand meters high.
The military base was brightly lit, with countless cannon muzzles reflecting a silvery luster extending outwards, and energy vortexes gathering at the top of the buildings, making it look terrifying.
"Everyone be careful! The Shaman Demon Legion has activated its magic barrier. Heavy Cavalry, watch out for the cannons above; don't let them break your formation."
Ahriman had already experienced the power of the Chen Kingdom's weapons at Moon Capital Pass. Although they destroyed these defensive weapons with overwhelming force, their strength still left a deep impression on him.
"Beep...! Target has entered firing range. Initiate attack?"
Inside the command No. 1 Base, Landuo looked at the surging Devil Race soldiers outside and a cold smile appeared on his face, "Activate all backup power, push all defensive weapons to maximum power, and attack with full force. There's no need to hold back!"
"Beep... Command received! Backup power storage is being activated..."
Activation complete, attack now!
Just then, outside No. 1 Base, countless cannons roared simultaneously, and the originally pitch-black night became incredibly bright under the illumination of bullets from various Rune Technology weapons.
Sizzle...! Whoosh...! Crackle...!
Military Base No. 1 was built by Chen Mu specifically to deal with the Abyss Devil Race. When it was first built, he had already anticipated the situation of being besieged by the Devil Race Army, so it almost embodies the most refined technological achievements of the Rune Research Institute.
There are powerful Spirit Particle cannons and laser cannons, as well as electromagnetic cannons, sonic cannons, and pulse cannons that excel at wide-area attacks. When these weapons attack simultaneously, even the Black Demon Emperor's army feels immense pressure.
" Black Demon Army, use the linked magic technique to protect your troops! Heavy cavalry, accelerate and charge!"
Ahriman didn't want the Black Demon Army to act so quickly, because Chen Kingdom's three major battle formations hadn't been deployed yet. If the Black Demon Army suffered heavy losses, it would be detrimental to subsequent battles.
However, other legions would inevitably suffer casualties if they tried to stop the base's attack. After weighing the options, he decided to send the Black Demon Army instead.
A moment later, the Black Demon Army Corps attacked in unison, creating a magical barrier in mid-air in front of them. Most of the attacks from No. 1 Base were blocked by this barrier, leaving only a few attacks such as pulses and sound waves that could pass through it. However, these attacks could only disrupt their speed and did not cause any casualties to the Devil Race army.
However, at this moment, the heavy cavalry of the Black Demon Emperor's army was eager to attack No. 1 Base and charged to the front, but gradually broke away from the main force and distanced themselves from the other troops behind them.
"Where the Overlord goes, none can rival him!"
Just then, a force of heavy cavalry charged out from No. 1 Base.
They, along with their horses, were clad in thick golden armor and wielded sturdy, silver-white spears. Upon their appearance, they immediately unleashed the battle formation skill ' Peerless Hegemon Spear,' charging straight into the Black Demon Emperor Emperor's heavy cavalry army.
When the heavy cavalry commander of the Abyss Devil Race discovered the appearance of the Hegemon Cavalry, he showed surprise but not panic. Instead, his eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit.
Heavy cavalry has always been the most valued type of soldier in an army, so although this batch of Devil Race heavy cavalry is not considered the top legion of the Abyss Devil Race, their overall quality is not much worse than that of the Hegemon Cavalry.
Moreover, even though they had separated from the main force, they still had a numerical advantage over the Hegemon Cavalry. The Hegemon Cavalry only over 10,000, while they had over 30,000. With this numerical advantage, they believed that even if they could not defeat the Hegemon Cavalry, they could at least fight them to a standstill.
So when the Hegemon Cavalry charged forward, the Devil Race Heavy Cavalry not only did not retreat, but under the leadership of their leader, they condensed their energy into a single force, wanting to fight the Hegemon Cavalry to the death.
"Hmph! Idiot, you think you can have a fair fight on our turf?"
Yin Zhan, positioned at the very front of the Hegemon Cavalry, sneered as he watched the Devil Race heavy cavalry charging towards him.
Just when the two sides were only about 70 or 80 meters apart, with a "poof!" sound, the Devil Race heavy cavalry suddenly seemed to encounter tremendous resistance and almost lost control of their bodies.
All the Devil Race heavy cavalrymen found that their weight seemed to have increased two or three times. If they hadn't been well-trained, they would have been thrown off their horses.
"It's a gravity talisman! Retreat!"
The heavy cavalry commander had already sensed something was wrong, but it was no use. The outcome was predictable: a heavy cavalry force without any momentum was facing a heavy cavalry force that had adjusted to its best condition and used battle formation techniques.
