Chapter 1552: Chapter 282: Calamity Fire Falls from the Firmament
Moreover, the design of these snipers allows for extremely rapid shooting; they only need to aim the âframeâ in front of their eyes at the enemy, wait for the lock to complete, and then fire. Itâs automated from start to finish, and as long as they maintain stability, the attack is guaranteed to hit!
After merely three rounds of firing, the Demon Army left behind a pile of corpses and dissipating demon smoke while originally advancing on the fortification walls.
However, the frontal assaultâs blow immediately attracted the attention of the demon officers. They were previously confronting the Sublimators of the Nineteenth Legion and werenât directly participating in the battle, but now, the unfavorable situation led them to resolutely issue one call after another.
Then, in the real world, accompanied by massive phantoms manifesting from the dark mist, beast demons that appeared akin to giant siege weapons, twenty to thirty meters tall, appeared at the frontline.
These terrifying beast demons, appearing like enormous bulls, bears, and other sinister Magical Beasts but nearly ten times larger, raised their heads and howled to the skies. The terrifying Spirit Energy shock began to spread in all directions, with the âAura of Fearâ and âAura of Intimidationâ simultaneously affecting both friends and foes.
And then, these behemoths began their charge!
Yet, the demonized Magical Beasts and Inferior Demons were unaffected by these powers, while soldiers within the mechanized troops equipped with âInformation Filtering Devicesâ were not significantly impacted. But the ordinary soldiers of the Nineteenth Legion who were not mechanically armed immediately fell into uncontrollable panic and disorder.
Some wet their pants, some seemingly went insane, abandoning their weapons and running aimlessly, while others even turned their guns on their teammates, thinking they were the enemy, and fired immediately afterward!
In the blink of an eye, the rear firepower thinned out, and in extreme tension, someone inexplicably detonated the nearby ammunition depot.
Boom!!! A massive ball of flame exploded at the rear of the line, severely lowering the morale of the Nineteenth Legion, while the beast demons took advantage and smashed through the fortifications and firepower network, creating a breach for the Demon Armyâs breakthrough.
No, itâs not inexplicable.
Because elite demon units had already infiltrated the ranks and started inducing Imperial soldiers to kill each other!
Instantly, the once sustainable frontline retreated, leaving behind a massive number of corpses. Snipers were caught by elite flying demonsâ precise attacks, only hastily retreating under the exoskeleton armorâs auto-retreat program.
The situation drastically declined.
With the demon officers and beast demons entering the battlefield, the situation immediately became perilous.
This was a force that couldnât be blocked by a defensive line; they could freely alter their enemiesâ mindset, creating fear and despair, and invade behind enemy lines to destroy their logistics. This is the âultra-militaryâ technology that the future Terra World must develop; facing them, any ordinarily conceived army will easily be annihilated.
But, the South Ridge was not without its countermeasures.
In areas seriously disrupted by these demon forces, unmanned armor troops appeared, with externals so simplified that the outer armor wasnât even polished.
Upon their instant appearance, they provided terror-worthy firepower support, stabilizing the circumstances before unhesitatingly seeking elite demon self-detonation, wasting no time.
Though they couldnât prevent the beast demons from smashing city walls and leveling small fortresses, they bought time for the Empire Legionâs retreat.
Behind them, the fully mechanized second line of defense by the Silverpeak Domain was on high alert, prepared to confront the demon siege army led by beast demons in a direct, hard-fought clash.
And the battlefield extended far beyond this location.
Afar, the elite unit âIron Featherâ led by Green Tide commenced a long-range raid, striking the demon legionâs rear beast demon incubation facilities, a sea made of flesh and blood.
Here, the beast demons were being nurtured and hatchedâa place for the deceased Magical Beasts and demons, returning to the Domain of Void, not waiting for a lengthy time to become Inferior Demons again, but directly used as raw materials thrown into the incubation pools as beast demonsâ materials.
And those low-combat Magical Beasts naturally wouldnât be used for fighting power but rather as the biological matrix for beast demons.
Once these beast demons finished hatching, theyâd reenter the Domain of Void, then head from it to the battlefield to continue fighting.
Of course, as a highly crucial stronghold, around the beast demon incubation pools were elite Inferior Demon guards and demon officers on patrol... yet even the Demon Army, transformed from Humans, was limited to countering artillery and quick cavalry assaults.
But just as the era of battleships and cannons was replaced by aircraft carriers... the Silverpeak Domain had already advanced to a new era regarding this.
Upon reaching the designated position, Green Tide and others released large amounts of drones on-siteâwithin no time, over three hundred drones soared like a hive swarm into the sky, then dove toward the beast demon incubation pools!
But this was not the end. Every demon officer and anti-air capable Inferior Demon became anti-air firepower, hence without hesitation, after releasing the drones they carried, Green Tide drew his sword and led the charge forward, engaging the already aware demon guards!
Immediately, the sound of clashing blades echoed harmoniously across the plains, as Green Tide personally dueled five demon officers alone, fiercely holding ground!
"Your swordsmanship isnât even one percent of our leaderâs skill!"
