World-Ending Demon Emperor
Chapter 1375 - 603: Ruthless Kill! The Great Battle Begins!
CHAPTER 1375: CHAPTER 603: RUTHLESS KILL! THE GREAT BATTLE BEGINS!
Whether it’s a catapult or a giant crossbow, they were both designed by Lanling personally.
Also, the fish oil bomb and lime bomb were decided by Lanling himself.
Once the battle starts, what will the effects be? No one knows, but Suo Mo has tested the attack effects more than once, and they are quite shocking, especially the fish oil bomb!
Initially, no one had any confidence in the upcoming battle; they adopted a mindset of preferring death over defeat.
But with the construction of the seven-mile wall, the building of large catapults, giant crossbows, and the formation of various secret weapons, everyone felt their confidence steadily increasing!
...
According to Lanling and Suo Mo’s estimates, among the Silver Alliance’s hundreds of thousands of allied forces, there should be over two hundred Gryphon Knights.
Aerial assaults by two hundred Gryphon Knights would cause huge trouble, especially delivering a massive blow to morale.
Back in Tianshui City, Lanling used a griffon air raid tactic to shatter the morale of Zhi Wei’s army.
Of course, now the Flame Demon Tribe also has twenty griffons, but if Lanling is around, even facing two hundred Gryphon Knights is no problem. However, if Lanling isn’t around, these twenty precious griffons should not ascend and be sacrificed in vain.
Therefore, Lanling’s plan was to set up high platforms!
Because the Gryphon Knights’ attack has a height limit, once over four hundred meters, their accuracy becomes negligible.
And the Flame Demon Tribe is built against mountains, making full use of the mountains’ original height to set up high platforms and place giant crossbows on them.
Thus, according to the designs of Lanling and Suo Mo, over twenty high platforms were erected at various positions throughout the Flame Demon Tribe, each equipped with three giant crossbows.
Each giant crossbow could be moved freely and could shoot more than ten arrows at once.
Catching the enemy’s Sky Legion off guard, it’s expected to cause significant damage to them, at least stopping them from arrogantly conducting air raids.
...
Time kept slipping away!
It had been over twenty days since Lanling left the Flame Demon Tribe.
More than twenty-five days had passed.
On this day, the seven-mile-long wall had been completely constructed!
Undoubtedly, this was a great day, a marvelous miracle!
However, there was no time for any celebration. The thirty thousand men only heaved a small sigh of relief, then continued to reinforce the wall, further perfecting its defenses.
Moreover, the large catapults didn’t need to be transported onto the walls, since their attack trajectory is parabolic. But the giant crossbows were for linear attacks, so there was a necessity to move them all up onto the walls to fire down from a height!
On the twenty-sixth day,
the twenty-seventh day!
On this day!
A young Gryphon Knight flew above the Flame Demon Tribe, hovering a hundred meters above the city gate.
Looking at the dust-filled Flame Demon Tribe and the crowds like ants, every person covered in dirt, the young Gryphon Knight wore an expression full of arrogance and disdain.
"Despised Flame Demon Tribe, the final deadline has arrived, give your answer!" the young Gryphon Knight said, "Hand over Lanling’s head, or in three days, not a soul will be spared in the entire Flame Demon Tribe, you’ll be completely eradicated!"
The more than fifty thousand people of the Flame Demon Tribe were all working desperately. Hearing the young knight’s words, they just glanced up, then continued to bury themselves in work, reinforcing defense structures.
"Hand over Lanling’s head, or in three days, not a soul will be spared in the entire Flame Demon Tribe, you’ll be completely eradicated!"
The young Gryphon Knight shouted once more.
"Du yan, kill him!" Suo Mo ordered.
"Yes!" Du yan replied.
He then quickly bent his bow and notched his arrow!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." A ten-chain arrow!
Though Du yan’s archery skills were far from Lanling’s, he gritted his teeth and managed to shoot the ten-chain arrow without a hitch.
And at such a close distance.
The young knight’s destiny was foreseeable.
He desperately dodged, cursing angrily.
"Despised Near-Human Tribe, how dare you..."
Then, before he could finish the sentence.
"Puff, puff, puff, puff..." Five arrows hit his chest and throat, one after another!
With a miserable scream, the young Silver Alliance Gryphon Knight fell from the sky, dead!
And beneath him was actually a Golden-maned Gryphon, showing he held a not-so-simple identity.
This Golden-maned Gryphon, seeing its master shot dead, attempted to turn and flee.
Du yan shot another five arrows in succession!
With a miserable scream, this Golden-maned Gryphon Beast’s wings were injured, it staggered and fell.
Then, dozens of people from the Flame Demon Tribe rushed over madly, eager to catch the Golden-maned Gryphon Beast for fear it was too badly hurt.
Each Griffin Beast is a treasure, especially the Golden Griffon!
Just like that, a Gryphon Knight sent by the Silver Alliance to show off was shot dead, and a Golden-maned Gryphon Beast was captured by the Flame Demon Tribe.
...
Day Twenty-eight!
"Kill, kill, kill..."
The Silver Alliance Leader, the chieftain of the Silver Tribe, was furious, waving a giant sword and smashing everything around him to pieces.
His rage was boundless!
Because, the one shot by the Flame Demon Tribe was his son, his most beloved youngest son.
Yesterday, Rakshasa Prince Consort Skill asked who would be willing to go to the Flame Demon Tribe to demand Lanling’s head, and everyone thought it was a good chance to show off.
Everyone believed that the Flame Demon Tribe was already scared senseless, desperate to crouch and cry on the ground every day, utterly powerless to resist.
Therefore, the Silver Alliance Leader’s youngest son volunteered, and after receiving Skill’s approval, flew on his beloved Golden-maned Gryphon Beast towards the Flame Demon Tribe, even leaving his protective cavalry far behind.
However, no one expected the reaction from the Flame Demon Tribe to be so fierce.
Not only did they refuse to hand over Lanling’s head, they also shot the emissary! This emissary was the son of the Silver Alliance Leader.
This was his most cherished youngest son!
The Silver Alliance Leader’s heart was twisted with pain; he had three sons and five daughters.
Now, all five daughters had been slept with by Skill. Three were already married, while two were unmarried maidens—none were exceptions, all were slept with.
Among the three sons, his most beloved was the youngest son, who was his heart’s desire.
And now, he had been killed by the damned Flame Demon Tribe!
In warfare between nations, emissaries are generally spared.
The Flame Demon Tribe’s actions were intended to sever any retreat.
Indeed, Suo Mo intended just that; even though there was no sign of surrender from anyone within the Flame Demon Tribe at this time, any possibility of it needed to be suppressed in its infancy.
The Gryphon Knight who came swaggering was the Silver Alliance Leader’s son, whom Suo Mo knew.
Killing him would directly cut off any retreat for the Flame Demon Tribe, preventing anyone from contemplating surrender!
Of course, this also constituted unprecedented provocation to the entire Silver Alliance, and even the entire Rakshasa Tribe!
"Kill, kill, slaughter the Flame Demon Tribe entirely, leave nothing alive!" the Silver Alliance Leader yelled loudly!
Constantine had waited for this day for a long time; he too raised his arm and shouted: "Slaughter the Flame Demon Tribe entirely, leave nothing alive!"
Alfonso, along with all remaining chieftains, shouted!
Their voices echoed outside!
On the plains beyond the Silver Tribe’s city walls, a massive army of 120,000 was gathered, dark and overwhelming!
120,000 Barbarian Tribe soldiers!
The entire Silver Alliance, with no reservations, poured out!
30,000 cavalry, 90,000 infantry, 300 Gryphon Knights!
The Silver Alliance’s twelve tribes withheld nothing, nearly exhausting their last soldiers.
Skill warned the surrounding tribal forces, promising that if anyone dared invade while the Silver Alliance was vulnerable, he would ensure the complete extermination of their tribe, leaving nothing alive!
The heir to the Black Demon Banner, Rakshasa Prince Consort Skill, riding a royal griffon, suddenly flew out from the mountain-top castle of the Silver Alliance.
Circling above this massive army of 120,000.
120,000 Barbarian Tribe soldiers, covering the sky and the land, impassable even to birds!
"Annihilate the Flame Demon Tribe, leave nothing alive!" Skill shouted coldly.
The 120,000 Barbarian Tribe soldiers roared in unison: "Annihilate the Flame Demon Tribe, leave nothing alive!"
"Kill, burn, plunder, violate the Flame Demon Tribe!"
The 120,000 Barbarian Tribe soldiers boiled with blood, shouting loudly.
"Kill, burn, plunder, violate the Flame Demon Tribe!"
Skill couldn’t help but feel somewhat excited, despite his noble status, as it was his first time truly commanding a war involving an army of 100,000!
"Advance!"
With one order!
The Silver Alliance’s army of 120,000 marched mightily toward the Flame Demon Tribe!
In the sky, 300 Gryphon Knights flew in neat formation!
The battle that would decide the life and death of the Flame Demon Tribe had officially commenced!
