Chapter 315: The Great War of the races 18

Chaos, death, and destruction

/*unedited*/

The grand scene where countless demons are marching through the sand and kicking up a thick cloud of dust can make one tremble in fear. Behind the demon army are countless numbers of flying creatures with pure ones riding on their backs.

These flying creatures are blocking the sky like a shade of countless locusts blotting the golden rays of the sun. They represent the superiority of the demon army and the greatness of their strength in this war.

Belfast is already looking at the horizon where he can see from the far off distance a great number of flying ships. Although he is confident of the strength of his army, upon seeing the metallic sheen on the ships made by the humans and their allies, he felt something strange deep in his dark heart.

\"You majesty my king. Those ships are new, we didn't have any information about them.\" a demon soldier on the side said.

Belfast didn't show any reaction on his face as he just quietly looks at the large ships on the horizon.

\"Is this what humans can do on this continent? How can a pure metal float like that?\" he thought.

\"None the less, I will still conquer this land and reign over here. I will build the greatest demon army and go back to my homeland and destroy those Mages and their human kingdoms… Azmodiaz should be ready by now. With his golems, we will end this puny war and advance through the first human kingdom. Hihi…\" Belfast showed a faint wicked smile on his face.

He cannot wait to savor the sweet taste of victory.

He extended his right hand towards the horizon and slowly clenched it as if grabbing all those warships and destroying them within his palm.

…

Meanwhile on the human side…

\"Great General Ligong Xi, we have already spotted the demon army. They are about 200 kilometers away from us. The aircraft from the Shin County forces are ready to deploy, they are just waiting for your command.\" A soldier wearing a headset on the side said.

\"This is it. We are going to face a great threat that's going to tip the balance in our empire. Tell them I approve of the first strike.\" Great General Ligong Xi said with a stern voice.

However, as soon as he finished his words, they noticed a large number of flashes in the air in front of them. Then as soon as they saw that, at least a thousand flying creatures appear.

\"Those are space wyvern! Why would they send those creatures as their vanguard army?\" Ligong Xi thought as he observed the situation at the front.

Suddenly his expression turned ugly as he noticed the fluctuation in the air.

\"Halt! Convey my command! All cannons fire at will… quickly destroy those flying maggots!\"

The sense of uneasiness is clear in the voice of the Great General. Hence all the warships immediately shot their main cannons.

And true to his conjecture, those space wyverns are actually carrying demons which are good at manipulating space. Those warships that fired their weapon immediately destroyed the wyvern on their sight. But those who were late in firing their main cannon found that space was distorted and the projectile they sent were sent back at them.

A few ships were destroyed in that process, but some are sturdy enough to withstand their own weapons, and those ships seem to come from the Shin Country forces.

\"Deploy all the aircraft now!\" shouted Ligong Xi.

With his command, thousands of aircraft lift off from the carriers and like hordes of locust blotted the sky along with the buzzing sounds of their engines.

The small one man aircrafts immediately faced the remaining space wyverns, while the rest directly flew towards the demon army.

The battle in the sky immediately erupted.

The cultivator army showed an astounded look on their eyes upon seeing the mortals destroy the enemy with ease using the thing called advanced technology.

Within their hearts, they wanted to enter the battle and can't wait to fly using their flying swords.

\"All cultivator army at the core-forming realms prepare to board your flying swords. Those at the gold core realm prepare for long-distance attacks.\" a voice commanded from the intercom of the warships.

\"Yeah! Let's go! We'll show those demons what we are made off!\"

\"I will harvest a lot of demons today.\"

\"I can't wait to test my new strength!\"

The excited shouts from the volunteers erupted. However, those who belong to the main cultivator army kept their demeanor and conduct as soldiers.

\"Attack those pests! Destroy everything!\" shouted Belfast with a booming voice.

Upon hearing his words, the demon army began to run not minding the fatigue from their long travels as if they are all on drugs.

Roar!!!

Growl!!!

The loud roaring and cries of demons and the demonic beast on the ground and in the air could be heard even from kilometers away.

Those inside the aircraft even felt their heart tremble in fear upon hearing the angry roars.

But since they too are already consumed by the feeling of their adrenaline rush in battle it has little effect on them.

Ratatatatat!!!

Boom!!!

*whistle… Bang!!!

The sound of fierce battle drowned the shout and cried of those who are dying on the battlefield. As the desert sand began to be dyed in crimson and dark purple blood. The two opposite forces began to kill each other in frenzied destruction and seeming endless chaos.

Seeing this scene, Belfast's began to show an excited expression on his face. This is the thing that he likes the most, the smell of blood and burning flesh, the cry of agony, and the thick energy of death rising up to the air.

This is what he lived for, his purpose, his only desire while living his life, the taste of chaos and death.

…

In the sky above, Qian Li and the original members of the Shadow Squad currently engage in battle against three giant zombie dragons. Unlike the conventional aircraft, the five girls are wearing a full-body exoskeleton twice their height, they call it Immortal Gear.

These are the advanced mechanical armors that the underground base in the Shin County made for each of them for this war. And according to their call signs, the designs of each full-body skeleton are unique to their preference.

So right now in the sky, the three zombie dragons are like fighting against five ten-feet tall mechanical creatures.

A fairy, a phoenix, a serpent, a vermilion bird, and a Qilin, these are the mystique creatures that represent Qian Li and her group as they fought against the three zombie dragons.

\"We need to end this as quickly as we can. The soldiers on the ground are facing many casualties already.\" Qian Li said in her intercom.

\"Yes sister, but those dragons are very sturdy. My fire blade could not even do a lot of damage on their thick hide.\" Phoenix said feeling a little helpless.

\"Yes!\" suddenly Qilin shouted in her intercom.

After her shout, the four saw that the zombie dragon she is facing suddenly began plummeting to the ground. One of its wings is already broken and traces of electric current covering its body.

\"Guys! Hit the core! It's their weakness…\" Qilin said.

\"Hey, where is the core?\" Serpent asked feeling a bit confused.

\"Serpent! You silly girl… Use your goggles stupid.\" Vermillion bird scolded.

\"Oh… right… hehe…\"

…

As the war rages on, the casualties began to pile up the number of both demons and humans with their allies also decreases. The situation looks grave. No one can seem to stop this battle from ending until one race would fall.

On the ships, the war generals are feeling gloomy at the result of the head-on war between the races. Although they have used their main cannons and weapons, it seems that the number of the demon army is too great for them to handle.

\"General Ligong Xi, I think I'm tired of waiting… I the beast clan emperor could not just hole myself in this flying fortress. Hearing the cries of agony and pain from my people, I cannot stand it anymore… I Hai Borak am now going to fight…\" the beast clan emperor Hai Borak said with determination.

The beast emperor stood up from the throne and took off his blue imperial cape. Then with a wave of his hands, two battle axes flew to his hands.

\"With these two axes, I unified Beastia… And now with these two axes, I will defend it from any intruders, foreign or local. With my might, I will defeat the enemy of my empire.\" Hai Borak muttered as two canines showed on his mouth as a wide grin appears on his face.

\"My king, please wait!\" shouted his retainers as they wanted to persuade the beast clan emperor to think twice of his action.

Seeing the beast clan emperor walking towards the exit of the room, Li Yan Xi and the rest of the generals showed a determined smile on their faces. They realized something just now, as cultivators, they strive to be strong, and strength is gained through life and death battles.

The rest of the officers in the room felt helpless as the leaders followed behind Hai Borak while taking out their weapons. The awe-inspiring scene of the line of powerful beings joining the battle inspired the operators. They then relay this information in the front lines giving the soldiers a boost of their morale.
