In the distance, the high-ranking demon general of the Darkness clan's expression grew increasingly grim, as if the humiliation from the past had been reopened.
"I'll lead the vanguard to clear out the fodder on the other side and completely secure the passage."
Orins volunteered.
Lierlon nodded in agreement. Although Orins' military rank was slightly lower, his special status as a member of the Four-Winged Demon core made him stand out.
Orins led the ten thousand vanguard troops, charging into the passage first.
Then, Lierlon commanded the main army to enter in an orderly manner.
...
On the Eura Continent, Godfall Canyon.
The overwhelming demon aura had already begun to corrupt the area spilling out from the passage, turning it into a small-scale demon realm.
Galenor and the eight white-haired guardians saw the scene and their hearts sank.
Chiusen, Dorothy, and the black-robed elder Asmo, along with other Divine Cleric rank experts, kept their eyes fixed on the passage.
Suggwoth, Lucio, and Philip stood silently in the clouds, watching the unfolding events in silence.
Boom!
Destructive magical light erupted from the passage, shattering the sky.
"They're here!"
Lucio reminded in a deep voice.
Two hours later, the magical light pouring from the passage grew more intense, tearing apart the surrounding void and revealing the chaos behind it.
Orins led the ten thousand Four-Winged Demon vanguard, stepping out of the passage!
The vast demon might instantly suppressed all life in the Godfall Canyon.
Orins soared into the sky, clad in dark red demon armor, surrounded by demon aura.
He took a deep breath, feeling the pure natural power surge into his body, and his eyes shone with brilliant light.
"What a perfect world source… it's like an untapped treasure!"
"No wonder… no wonder the Empire values it so much!"
He murmured to himself, then looked around, sneering.
"Eura Continent! Aurek... the Four-Winged Demon have arrived!"
"Only ten thousand?"
Up in the clouds, Suggwoth raised an eyebrow.
Philip observed the demon army's movements and reminded,
"This should be the vanguard. They're securing the passage, a larger force will follow."
"Is the general not planning to attack now?"
After the ten thousand demon soldiers came out, they didn't advance but quickly set up defenses, seemingly clearing obstacles for the follow-up troops.
"Ten thousand is hardly enough to fill the gaps for the Empire's warriors."
Suggwoth's tone was icy.
"Let those guardians go out and put on a show."
Lucio and Philip were slightly stunned.
The strength of this ten thousand demon army was evident just from the killing intent radiating from them, and they were far beyond the ordinary Divine Cleric rank.
How could Suggwoth think that this was not enough?
They looked deeply at the killing god and nodded in agreement.
Lucio took the order and went.
Suggwoth's true concern was, of course, that the enemy might be too weak.
Lucio approached Galenor and the other Divine Cleric rank experts, and their faces were heavy.
"What is General Suggwoth really planning?"
"If we let them bring in more powerful forces, we'll have no chance left!"
Lucio bowed.
"Your Excellencies, this is His Majesty's will, please do not worry."
"Now, please go and test those demon race armies. A brief engagement will suffice, there's no need to fight to the death."
"Is this just a performance?"
Chiusen and the others were confused.
"This is General Suggwoth's deployment."
"With our strength, directly facing off against that ten thousand demon army would be like striking a stone with an egg. It's better to trust His Majesty's arrangement."
The group pondered deeply, realizing the truth of it.
If the Emperor, whose methods were mysterious and unpredictable, was powerless against them, they could only watch helplessly.
The group nodded in agreement and swiftly flew toward the passage to engage.
Powerful divine emblems transformed into devastating attacks, raining down on the Four-Winged Demon army.
"These bugs have finally come!"
Orins, puzzled by the lack of resistance, was pleased when the attacks came.
He didn't even need to lift a finger as one hundred demon warriors leapt into the air.
Their long spears pierced through the void, easily annihilating the incoming attacks and then counterattacking, charging toward Galenor, Chiusen, Dorothy, and the others.
After several rounds of exchanges in the distant void, Galenor and the others feigned defeat and quickly retreated outside the canyon.
"Send another squad to assist with the pursuit. They must be wiped out completely!"
Orins, fearing deception, sent a hundred-person team to follow. He could not tolerate any loss just after the Four-Winged Demon army had arrived, as it would be a disgrace to the entire legion.
Seeing the enemy retreating quickly, Orins sneered.
"That was easier than expected, I suppose I should thank the Darkness demon race for draining their strength back then!"
...
Some time later, the passage shook once again.
More and more demon race soldiers poured out, and Lierlon, along with over twenty high-ranking demon generals, arrived at the site.
"How much resistance did you encounter?"
Lierlon immediately asked.
He needed to understand the strength of this world, ensuring that the same mistake as the Darkness army was not repeated.
Orins sneered,
"Only a few dozen Divine Cleric rank fodder, they collapsed instantly."
A high-ranking demon general nearby laughed,
"To these natives of this world, we are their gods. Ten thousand soldiers descending, they had no choice but to flee."
"It seems it went even more smoothly than expected."
Other demon generals also laughed.
Lierlon ordered,
"The forces of this continent should not be underestimated. Pantek and others were born here."
"Our mission is to completely destroy them, regardless of their strength!"
A demon general seized the opportunity to ask,
"General Lierlon, there has been a rebellion in the blood mine area under my jurisdiction. Dozens of slaves have died."
"When destroying those forces, please make sure to leave some captives to fill the vacancies, otherwise there will be consequences..."
Lierlon coldly glanced at him, offering no response.
The Dawonru Empire indeed needed a large number of slaves, and capturing laborers was inevitable after conquering this world.
After a long wait, the entire sixty thousand Four-Winged Demon army had passed through and gathered in the void outside the passage, leaving only a thousand soldiers to guard the passage.
But just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!
The space near the passage suddenly began to swirl, and hundreds of large, muscular warriors stepped forward, quickly sealing off the entrance to the passage!
The thousand remaining demon race soldiers were caught off guard and forced to retreat.
"Hmm?!"
Lierlon, Orins, and the other high-ranking demon generals, who were deploying their forces, suddenly halted and turned their gaze toward the passage.
They saw more than three hundred titans standing in front of the passage like an impenetrable steel wall, completely blocking their retreat.
"Everyone, I have been waiting for a long time."
Suggwoth's cold voice echoed in the ears of the sixty thousand Four-Winged Demon army.
Lierlon, Orins, and the other high-ranking demon generals looked at Suggwoth.
They were first stunned, then one of the demon generals sneered.
"Hahaha, didn't expect someone to seek death!"
They had seen through Suggwoth's Divine Cleric rank power and sensed that the hundreds of warriors guarding the passage were also at Divine Cleric rank.
"General, allow me to crush this bug!"
The demon general stepped forward, his form becoming a blur of afterimages as he darted straight for Suggwoth.
Lierlon and Orins did not stop him.
The other high-ranking demon generals crossed their arms and coldly laughed, waiting for the show.
But in the next instant, their smiles froze on their faces.
All around the sixty thousand Four-Winged Demon army, above, below, and in every direction…
Countless attribute warriors, who had been hiding in the void, emerged simultaneously!
At first glance, they were dense and endless, like an overwhelming tide!
