Chapter 1169 The First Clash [Part 1]

A week passed before the Alliance arrived in the Western Regions of Elysium.

The devastation that they had seen made even the most veteran Warriors turn pale.

Countless Kingdoms and Empires had been razed to the ground. Their rich history, gone.

Their dignities, trampled.

Those who passed through these places didn't know what had happened to their people.

There was not a single corpse that could be seen laying on the ground.

"Maybe they've been eaten," one of the Dragon Borns muttered.

His statement wasn't far-fetched because Abyssal Creatures were technically Monsters and Demons. They ate the flesh of other Demons, so eating the flesh of Humans, and the other races of Elysium was normal to them.

"If they were eaten then good," a Beast Kin commented. "But, if they weren't, I can't even think about the fate that befell them."

No one knew how to reply to the Beast Kin's comment. If the people of these Kingdoms and Empires were indeed eaten then they would no longer suffer.

Unfortunately for them, those that had been killed by the Abyssal Creatures would find their souls in the Abyss. Given time, all of them would be reborn as Abyssal Monsters.

Monsters who might one day return to Elysium, not as comrades, but as enemies.

This realization made many people frown, but there was nothing they could do about it.

As they traveled deeper into the Western Parts of Elysium, they noticed that the color of the ground had changed.

The land had been corrupted, making it look purple.

Still, they didn't see any signs of life for miles on end.

Their scouts, who had been tasked to report if they found anything, were unable to find any trace of the Abyssal Army.

Finally, after two weeks of scouring the Western Regions of Elysium, they finally found the base of their enemies.

The Alliance cheered after seeing their counterattack land on the enemy's fortress, destroying bits and pieces of it.

"Annihilate them all!" King Azza ordered. "Open fire!"

The Dragon Borns and the Dragons all took flight and unleashed their Dragon Breaths at the same time.

Meanwhile, the Alliance used their long range attacks to commence bombardement on their enemies, who were also counterattacking using long distance spells and ammunition of their own.

Sounds of explosion reverberated in the surroundings, as both sides pummeled each other with the intention of wiping their enemies from the face of the world. This was how the battle started between the Abyssal Forces and the Alliance of Elysium.

Nyarlathotep watched this battle from the throne room inside the Abyssal Fortress with an amused look on his face.

Dozens of Abyssal Lords were in the throne room with him, and all of them were looking at their enemies with calm expressions on their faces.

Nyarlatothep had already told them the strategy they were going to use, and they had to admit that it was a very devious strategy.

They almost felt sorry for the Alliance because they had no idea how this battle between them was going to turn out.

"Stick to the plan," Nyarlathotep commanded. "Lure them, and make sure that none of you fools die. Make yourselves useful for once, okay?"

Over a Dozen Abyssal Lords left the throne room to fulfill their part in this battle that would determine the fate of Elysium.

Each of these Abyssal Lords commanded over a hundred Calamity-Ranked Monsters each, making their forces very deadly.

"The enemies are finally making their move," Keoza said, relaying the changes of the battlefield to Great General Garret, who was at the very rear of the formation, providing supportive, and offensive fire. "They are on the right side of the fortress."

The Great General didn't waste any time and barked a series of orders to his people.

"Main Cannons at three o'clock!" Great General Garret commanded.

Immediately, the Giga Cannons moved to aim at the right side of the battlefield.

When he received the signal from his people, Great General Garret gave out new orders to his men.

"Load the nukes!" Great General Garret ordered. "Give them hell!"

As soon as the cannons were loaded with their weapons of mass destruction, they once again unleashed a barrage at their enemies.
