Devil's Son-in-Law

Chapter 1227: Burning Fortress

‘I Have A Dream’ was actually just a dream. It might touch some people, but in this real world where power was paramount, a dream was a dream. Although it was magnificent and moving, it was a bubble that would burst at the touch. However, some things were real, and not bubbles.

The entire documentary, including the empresses’ speech later, was actually implicitly emphasizing a fact.

The Demon Realm was under the control of this human.

No matter how touching the documentary, no matter how touching the text of ‘I Have A Dream’, it was actually just a step for the Demon Realm to accept and agree.

It was just a step.

At the same time ‘I Have A Dream’ was released, a huge fortress appeared above the Blood Claw Estate of the Bloody Empire, and an army of ‘ancient guardians’ came out of the fortress continuously. The destination of these armies was the ‘door’. There was no doubt that it was the reinforcements sent to the human world.

The ferocious crystal beast, the graceful lamp spirits, the well-coordinated assembled puppets, the behemoth giant crystal beast and the titans…

Not to mention anything else, the number of the assemble puppet legion alone reached about 20,000. When the Demon Coalition Army fought against the Human Coalition Army, they dispatched thousands of assemble puppets, which shocked everyone, but the amount of assemble puppets in front of them was 20 times that of the Demon Coalition Army at that time!

If such ‘reinforcement’ was compared with the Demon Coalition Army, many people realized sadly that the Demon Coalition Army was not an opponent!

These troops are probably just the tip of the iceberg of what Chen Rui has at hand!

At the end of the ‘documentary’, those ancient legions stretching as far as the eye can see are by no means fabricated, but real existence!

It is not difficult for Chen Rui to conquer or exterminate the Demon Realm.

This is the real cruel reality.

From the beginning of the Dark Moon to the current alliance of the 3 empires, the entire Demon Realm has been firmly marked with Chen Rui’s imprint, which is indelible. This human has incomparably powerful influence and personal strength. Resistance is futile.

Those who go along with him will prosper while those who go against him perish.

That’s all.

Under the emotional influence and strength of deterrence, the commotion of the Demon Realm gradually subsided. The empires followed the requirements to carry out a series of defensive work with all their strength. The coalition army began to re-deploy, ready to support the human world, and actively follow with the order of the 3 empresses and… Royal Highness Prince Consort Chen Rui.

People in the human world didn’t know about the commotion that happened in the Demon Realm. What they were concerned about was another commotion.

Blue Glory Empire, Thorn Fortress.

On the city wall of the fortress, rows of soldiers held magic rifles and bows in their hands. More than a dozen magic crystal cannons were ready on the cannon tower, and the catapults behind had also been erected.

The soldiers were all focused on the front, showing nervous expressions.

A soldier looked down and felt that the rifle he was holding was trembling slightly. It was not trembling because of nervousness, but the whole ground around the fortress began to tremble slightly. Many people clenched their weapons tightly, feeling their own hearts tremble a little.

Even before the battle started, their gallbladders were already cold.

No wonder the soldiers behaved like this. Those monsters were so fierce and unstoppable. After the Iron Gate Empire fell, the Blue Glory Empire’s other 2 vassal states, Luo Pool Empire and Red Tassel Empire, were also quickly destroyed.

The footsteps of the monsters did not stop and advanced to the Blue Glory Empire. The 3 cities in front of the Thorn Fortress were razed to the ground almost overnight, turning into dead ruins.

Now, the Thorn Fortress would face these terrifying enemies. Could they hold on? Could they survive?

Everyone’s heart was tightly clenched.

The voice of the commander at the back sounded, “Brothers and soldiers, the Thorn Fortress is the last barrier for the Capital Fansidian. Faced with such danger, Her Majesty Landbis did not flee like many noble families did. Instead, she stood firm in the capital. Our Royal Majesty Empress, our parents, wives and children, and our friends are behind us, we must hold on till death!”

After saying these few words, the soldiers regained some morale.

Behind the soldiers, there was a row of men and women wearing various armors and holding weapons. They all looked dignified. These were the Holy Sanctuary powerhouses of the Blue Glory Empire. The lowest strength was at least Pseudo-Saint (Demon Emperor). There were 3 others who had reached the Kingdom level.

After the last ‘door’, the Holy Light Mountain summoned the super powerhouses again. The targets were main the super powerhouses of the human world, but in terms of the number, the responders were far less than the last ‘door’.

For the contract at the time of ‘door’, everyone just needed to stand by and watch. Originally, super powerhouses didn’t want to participate in the war between ordinary people, so they just took the advantage to stay out of it.

The summoning this time was obviously to fight against the sudden appearance of monsters. They heard that even the 3 archangels could not solve the problem by themselves. The war between the Demon Realm and the human world even stopped because of this. Human nature was selfish in this situation. Who wanted to be cannon fodder?

——The danger of the world destruction is nothing more than scaremongering. Doesn’t the Holy Church usually look down on the common people and control everything? You Holy Light Mountain has 3 Pseudo-God archangels, so how is it our’s turn, Kingdom or Demi-God, to save the world? We can just watch it unfold.

They thought this crisis didn’t matter to them. From this point of view, there was nothing wrong with it, but these people had underestimated the seriousness of this crisis… or the catastrophe. Without the foundation to live, even if they could survive with their strength, they couldn’t escape forever.

The shaking of the city wall became more and more intense. The whole earth trembled as if thousands of horses were galloping ahead.

Soon, a scarlet red river emerged in the distant sky. From a distance, it looked like a torrent. It was approaching quickly.

Endless monsters!

The suffocating pressure rushed to the face. The roaring sounds gathered together like an intangible sledgehammer hitting the heart. The mechanic sounds of the catapults behind had been sounded one after another. The ignited boulders were quickly ejected to the monster torrent, blooming in the dense group of monsters.

At the same time, the magic crystal cannons emitted the blazing whiteness of death. Circles of bursting light spread in the monster group. All the monsters within the affected range turned into nothingness.

If it were an ordinary army, no matter how brave they were, such casualties would definitely arouse some fear or shock in the minds of the soldiers. However, the monsters didn’t know what fear was at all, and their speed did not slow down at all. They still maintained the original terrifying rhythm while rushing forward.

Due to the need to cool down, the magic crystal cannons stopped after launching for a while. Only the catapults were still attacking. However, the power of the catapults was much lower. It could only attack a fixed range.

“Rifle team, open fire!” The commander gave an order, and the riflemen who had already aimed at the monsters fired one after another. In the front was a kind of thin little monster with pointed claws and an exaggerated mouth occupying half of the face. The 2 rows of protruding fangs looked particularly hideous.

In the hail of bullets, the little monsters fell to the ground one after another, but the soldiers found that the bodies of the seemingly small monsters were much tougher than expected. The magic guns did less damage to them than expected. Many little monsters only fell to the ground after being shot several times in a row. This kind of strength was at least peak stage of Warrior (Higher Demon) and even Master (Demon King)!

With such strength, even in an ordinary empire, they could become a small leader or commander of the army, but among these monsters, they were just the lowest level cannon fodders.

“Hold! Hold! Shoot their heads!” Shouted the commander, “Archers, fire! Magician team, get ready!”

In the magic game, this kind of monster was also the lowest level soldier in the dungeon. The latest version had revealed the name and special attribute of the dungeon monster.

This kind of little monster was called a gap demon. Sometimes it could become a mutated body with a huge body and a fireball; the weakest spot was the head.

Although the firepower of rifles and arrows was very fierce, killing many gap demons, the monsters were not just blindly charging. Rows of sharp things started to fly out of the torrent. They were so powerful that they directly penetrated the enchanted city wall. These were bone spurs.

“Be careful, it’s a berserk demon! Make sure to take cover!”

The berserk demons were more powerful than the gap demons, and they could shoot bone spurs from a long distance. Many archers and gunmen on the city wall were shot by the bone spurs and died on the spot; some even fell off the city wall.

The bone spur attacks became more and more intensive. The long-range soldiers at the top of the city couldn’t counterattack. As the firepower was greatly weakened, the torrent of monsters below was quickly approaching the fortress.

At this time, the magician team was finally ready. The moment the spell ended, countless flaming meteors fell from the sky. Whether it was gap demon or berserk demon, they were all annihilated under this [Meteor Rain]. Their offense was greatly weakened.

Just as the defending soldiers took a breath, dozens of figures appeared in the [Meteor Rain]. The flaming meteors all over the sky suddenly changed direction and flew toward the fortress instead.

The defending soldiers were all shocked, but these flaming meteors quickly disappeared. Rows of heavily armed people appeared on the city wall, exuding powerful breath. The Saint powerhouses of the Holy Sanctuary were dispatched!

In front were women wearing light golden armor, floating in the air, and holding a burning whip in her hand. It was this kind of whip that deflected the [Meteor Rain] back to the magician team.

Blazing flame witches!

Without the slightest hesitation, the Holy Sanctuary powerhouses all flew up and rushed toward the blazing flame witches in the air. Flames and lights crisscrossed. From time to time, someone fell from the air in a scream.

The monsters below were already close to the city wall. Without the need for siege or climbing equipment, the overlapping monsters spread directly toward the city wall one after another. Some jumped directly onto the city wall when they reached a certain height. Many defending soldiers were forced to switch from long-range attacks to melee combat. The number of Holy Sanctuary warriors fighting the blazing flame witches was also rapidly plummeting; the situation was becoming more and more precarious.

The blazing flame witches in the air suddenly stopped, and they all turned into ashes. A huge gap appeared in the torrent in front of the city wall. The gap spread rapidly, and the attacking monsters rolled back one after another— The Kingdom Level powerhouses finally made their moves.

The power of the super powerhouse no doubt was extraordinary. With a few attacks, the spreading kingdom power stopped the torrent of monsters and deleted them. The soldiers cheered one after another.

However, the 3 Kingdom powerhouses did not feel relaxed, because they could feel the stronger impact of the entire monster group. If there were only hundreds or thousands of monsters, they were confident to eliminate the monsters. However, these monsters were not hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands nor hundreds of thousands. It could only be described in a word, endless!

The 3 Kingdom powerhouses suddenly shook. They felt that the kingdom they had activated together was torn apart by some extremely sharp force, then they saw 2 figures appear at the forefront of the monster torrent.

Incomparably strong bodies with ferocious appearances. The pumped muscles seemed to have the texture of natural armor. There was a pair of bone wings on the back. It was holding greatswords in their hands.

The cheers on this side of the city wall fell silent. Rather than saying it was quiet, it was like they were choked by the suffocating atmosphere.

The source of all this was those 2 monsters with greatswords!

Abyss lords!

The monster torrent was surging again.

The 3 major kingdom powerhouses could no longer be distracted from attacking those ordinary monsters, because they had been firmly locked by the 2 Abyss lords. The 3 of them sensed the threat of death at the same time, and they looked at each other, “Fight!”

The 3 figures rushed toward the Abyss lords like lightning. 3 huge gaps were torn among the monster torrent as they passed. At the same time, the sword light lit up, waving a death trajectory.

The 3 gaps were quickly filled, then there was no more movement.

The bloody clouds in the sky reflected the burning fortress below.
