However, at this point, there is no room for reconciliation between the two sides. The Black Demon Army's goal is to destroy this military base, and no matter who is in their way, they must destroy them.
"Black Demon's forces, all troops, charge!"
By this time, many Devil Race soldiers had already climbed onto the roof of the base, and many were destroying mechanisms and Rune Artifacts. The Black Demon Army no longer used their combined magic to protect these ordinary soldiers, but instead switched to a charge formation, rushing towards the roof of No. 1 Base with all their might.
Under the combined magic, the Black Demon Army, consisting of tens of thousands of people, also briefly gained the ability to fly. They were like a giant demonic blade, slashing fiercely towards the center of No. 1 Base, clearly intending to confront the Demon-Slaying Sword head-on.
"Strange, why aren't they moving?"
During the charge, the leader of the Black Demon Army was puzzled to see that the Demon-Slaying Sword was holding its power in place and did not attack him.
However, his question was soon answered when eight strange spheres suddenly shot out from the cannons around the roof. However, these spheres did not directly attack the Black Demon Army Black Demon Army, but exploded not far from them.
"Gravity Ball!"
A powerful gravitational force spread from the location of the exploding spheres, causing the Black Demon Army's 10,000-strong force to stagger and fall. While some of the more powerful members were unaffected by the gravitational spheres, most were slightly affected.
"Oh no! The magic chain has broken! Reconnect it quickly!"
The leader of the Black Demon Army reacted swiftly, immediately ordering his men to re-complete the magic chain.
The Linked Magic Technique combines the power of its members through a magic chain. Without the magic chain, they would become a disorganized mess, and the legion's advantage would vanish.
However, in battles between masters, victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment. Having witnessed countless battles, would the Demon-Slaying Sword let such an opportunity slip by?
Definitely not.
"A charge with no chance of survival!"
The Demon-Slaying Sword shot into the sky like a sharp arrow, instantly piercing the Black Demon Army and splitting them in two.
Sizzle...! Boom boom...!
The numerous Rune Artifacts on the roof displayed their divine power, continuously killing the charging Devil Race soldiers, including the scattered Black Demon Army. The intelligent terminals inside the base automatically analyzed which targets would yield the greatest results.
"Black Demon's forces, split into small teams! Destroy those Rune Artifacts first."
The Black Demon Army, after all, was a veteran of countless battles. Although they experienced a brief period of chaos under the impact of the Demon-Slaying Sword, Black Demon Army leader quickly recovered and redistributed tactics.
Soon the Black Demon Army had grown into more than twenty small teams of four or five hundred people each. Although these teams could not directly confront the Demon-Slaying Sword, they had gained a certain ability to protect themselves.
Knowing that the Demon-Slaying Sword was difficult to kill, the leader of the Black Demon Army chose to destroy the mechanisms Rune Artifacts below first. After all, these Rune Artifacts could not be moved and their defensive capabilities were generally not very good; most of them could be destroyed with a single blow.
And so, the Demon-Slaying Sword pursued the Black Demon Army, while the Devil Race mainly destroyed the Rune Artifacts. Before long, the number of Rune Artifacts above No. 1 Base decreased, and the pressure on the Demon-Slaying Sword increased.
"Let's go!"
Nangong Feng was also decisive; seeing the overwhelming strength of the Devil Race, he turned and ran without hesitation.
"Don't even think about running away!"
The leader of the Black Demon Army, his eyes blazing with fury, hurriedly led a group of elite Black Demon Army to hunt down the Demon-Slaying Sword.
In this short period of time, more than two thousand members of the Black Demon Army died. This was mainly because the attacks of the Demon-Slaying Sword were too fierce. If the Black Demon Army were not in a linked state, they would not be able to withstand even a single sword strike from them.
At this moment, even Ahriman and Katelin in the air were getting impatient and wanted to come down to help the leader of the Black Demon Army.
After all, the Black Demon Army is not some ragtag army. If more than two thousand of them die, they will have a hard time explaining themselves when the Black Demon Emperor blames them.
"Hehe, if you want to fight, I'm all in!"
Zhou Sen immediately stepped in front of Ahriman and Katelin. The two exchanged a glance but ultimately did not make a move.
After a while, the elite Black Demon Army retreated. Although their individual abilities were stronger than those of the Demon-Slaying Sword members, their speed was still no match for the Demon-Slaying Sword in battle formation. They chased for several kilometers but failed to catch up and had to return.
"I'm furious! Quick, break this place down! If you find any survivors, don't kill them! I'm going to extract their souls and refine them, making them suffer for thousands of years."
The leader of the Black Demon Army was furious and ordered his men to smash open the roof of the base.
At this point, the Devil Race were clearly confident of victory, and their ground forces had already reached the control room inside the base. However, they gradually realized something was amiss.
"Strange, why is there no one here? With so many Rune Artifacts and mechanisms, it's impossible that no one is operating them!"
After smashing open the doors of more than a dozen control rooms, the Devil Race general felt a growing unease.
"Let's go, retreat... we need to get out of here first!"
Although he had been very cautious, by then it was all too late.
In the warehouse at the center of the base, hundreds of silver-white Devil Spirit Bullet stood silently. Suddenly, the entire warehouse lit up with a dangerous red light, and a mechanical voice suddenly rang out from above.
"Self-destruct device activated at Military Base No. 1... Three... Two... One!"
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed across the edge of the Wilderness, and Military Base No. 1 instantly transformed into a massive mushroom cloud, rising slowly into the sky.
Under such an explosion, the alloy city walls were like paper, instantly vaporizing, and the Devil Race soldiers inside could not escape the same fate.
"No!"
At the moment No. 1 Base exploded, the Devil Race experts felt a tremendous threat, and most of them instinctively fled.
Only Ahriman, leading a dozen or so powerful Demon Emperor, did not retreat but advanced, charging towards the army below almost simultaneously with the explosion.
Whoosh! Snap! Boom!
The experts from the Chen Kingdom immediately launched an attack on them, but the Demon Emperor had no time to pay them any attention.
Get out of here!
The Demon Emperor outnumbered the Chen Kingdom by two or three times, and their simultaneous attacks immediately blasted back many of the Chen Kingdom's experts.
However, the experts from the Chen Kingdom did not intend to engage them in a direct confrontation. In fact, their actions at this moment were merely to test the enemy's strength.
Having achieved their desired outcome, they all stopped and allowed the Demon Emperor to fly down and rescue the wounded soldiers.
"Haha... Now you know how powerful our Chen Kingdom is!"
Chen Duo laughed heartily, very satisfied with the explosion effect at No. 1 Base.
"Unfortunately, not all of the Devil Race ground forces entered the base; only a quarter of them did. Those soldiers on the perimeter probably didn't all die; there should still be about a third remaining."
Zheng Fengdao looked down at the edge of the land after the explosion, where many Devil Race soldiers had gotten up, their faces showing regret.
