Green Monster Epic

Thump!!!

The powerful demigod Holy Warrior Hannes was casually thrown to the ground, his body almost broken and twisted at the waist, indicating that even as a demigod with a strong physique and tenacious vitality, he had essentially no hope of surviving such severe injuries.

In his head, which hung limply on his neck, Hannes's tiger eyes remained open until his death, glaring angrily at the devil duke with the invincible orange-red skin in front of him.

On the other side, High Priest Yayer, holding the holy artifact Springheart, desperately squeezed out his meager mana and mental power, casting divine spells on himself or turning them into powerful spells, bombarding the opponent in front of him.

Unfortunately, they were facing a devil duke powerful enough to rival a god. The two demigods, along with more than three hundred temple priests and holy warriors, fought for two or three magic hours, only managing to inflict some injuries on Moloch and expend some of his abyssal power.

Like a raging black flame, Moloch, standing in the ruins with his orange-red skin, looked particularly fierce and powerful. The surrounding walls and ruins were covered with blood and minced meat, all that remained of the Spring Temple's brave, fearless, and loyal priests and holy warriors.

Crack!!!

Thump!

Ignoring the 5th and 6th level divine spell shields on Yayer's body, Moloch's demigod-level 'Tearing Tail' long whip, crafted with countless precious resources, directly wrapped around Yayer's body, and with a casual pull, Yayer was slammed hard onto the ground.

The green divine light emanating from Springheart in Yayer's hand had already dimmed, slowly nourishing the severe injuries within Yayer's body. If it weren't for this artifact, he would have followed in Hannes's footsteps long ago. Struggling to climb up from the deep ground, Yayer was about to muster his last bit of strength to show his loyalty to the Goddess of Spring in the form of self-destruction when a darkness enveloped the top of Yayer's head. Moloch's huge mountain-like body pressed down fiercely, and then Yayer made no further movements.

"Take these guys' corpses back, can't let them go to waste!!"

Moloch patted the dust off his body, his wounds healing at a visible rate. The two demigods were not weak, and with the support of precious scrolls and materials accumulated by the Spring Temple over thousands of years, it took Moloch until now to end the battle, which, in Moloch's opinion, was somewhat frustrating.

Taking his anger out on the two lifeless corpses with a few fierce kicks, Moloch collected the spoils from their bodies before speaking, pointing to the remains of the temple that no longer resembled its original form, and instructing the devil army commanders who solemnly surrounded the temple.

"Yes, Duke Moloch!"

A burly Baalzebul commander named Fyodor responded expressionlessly, then waved his hand, signaling the next team of devil soldiers to enter the field and begin cleaning up the battlefield.

"Are all the legions assembled?"

"Yes."

"Very good, issue the attack order, target the Lionheart Kingdom in the west!!"

"Understood!!"

The well-trained 300,000-strong devil army, having just completed its assembly, heard the attack order from above. Without any hesitation, the soldiers in the devil legions, as if a single entity, maintained their complete battle formations and advanced along the western front where demons still lingered, their eyes devoid of any emotion.

As if by tacit agreement between demons and devils, they had fought and slaughtered each other for countless years in the Abyss, but upon arriving in the material world, the leaders of the two armies avoided each other's main forces and advanced in opposite directions.

From the sky, the devil legions' squares were neat and uniform, seemingly slow but actually moving quickly towards the Lionheart Kingdom's territory. The first to suffer were the scattered demon soldiers who had not had time to heed their commanders' orders and were now idly loafing and rampaging on their original territories.

In terms of individual strength, the difference between demons and devils was limited, but when large-scale battles between armies broke out, then an equal number of demons were generally no match for the devil legions, except for a few elite legions within the demon army.

No one could stop the advance of the devil legions. After only six days, the devil legions directly crashed into the Lionheart Kingdom's eastern front at the Bulwark Fortress.

The human coalition had already learned of the devils' appearance in the Fayman World from the divine revelations of their respective gods when the Gate to Hell summoned Duke Moloch in Mingxi City, and they had also made preparations to defend against the devil legions' attack at the first opportunity.

"Form ranks!!!"

Human armies had always been known for their strict discipline and rigorous training. While the quality of soldiers in other civilizations' armies was generally higher, the average strength of human soldiers often did not even reach the 7th level standard, mostly only maintaining around the 5th level. Yet, they were able to dominate the Hiren Continent and become the most powerful of the four civilizations, relying on their numbers, discipline, and outstanding armaments and strategies.

Outside Bulwark Fortress, hundreds of thousands of soldiers stood ready in the dozens of miles of defensive lines, quietly standing under the dark clouds, facing the dark and silent devil legion squares in front of them.

"Attack!!!"

"I want to see my warriors standing on the walls of the fortress in front before nightfall!!"

Facing the human army's vast numbers, Moloch's eyes were contemptuous and full of confidence, and he used his powerful strength to issue a grand attack order. As Moloch's order fell, the warriors in each square of the devil legions began to launch a fierce charge.

Not a single devil fell behind in the charge, and even as their pace accelerated to a certain extent, they still maintained a roughly complete formation; not a single sound of chaos was heard, except for the rhythmic and slightly chaotic running footsteps, not a single devil roared or clamored.

On the walls of Bulwark Fortress, General Ackerman Wilson of the Kingdom of Dawn, the vanguard general of the human coalition, looked out at the enemy in front of him, his eyes solemn and occasionally clouded, like the scene in the sky at this time.

The appearance of the devils was too sudden. The main focus of the Lionheart Kingdom's defensive lines was more on the demons. Although these generals were clear that the demons were currently in a cooperative relationship with them, sooner or later the demons would launch an attack on them, or rather, they humans would launch a counterattack against the demons.

Faced with the demons, human generals like Ackerman were wary, but they also had great confidence in being able to withstand the demons' offensive with the troops in their hands. But after switching to the devil legions, Ackerman no longer had such strong faith, even though the total strength of the devil legions at this time was perhaps not much different from the demon army that had been stationed on the front lines of the Lionheart Kingdom half a month ago.

"Siege crossbows!!! Prepare!!!"

"Catapults!!!"

"Fire!!!"

In the already gloomy sky, a group of foreign objects suddenly appeared. A rain of flying stones and arrows, aided by powerful machinery, cut through the air with terrifying shrieks, smashing into the first wave of devil legions in front.

"Get lost!!!!!"

In mid-air, mountain-like figures appeared. A dozen powerful pit fiend legendary-level experts suddenly appeared in front of the devil legion squares, blocking most of the flying stones and arrows. The powerful catapulted arrows could not even break through the defenses in front of the legendary-level experts, especially the pit fiend Duke Moloch, who stood proudly in the air at the very front, holding a long whip in his hand, and no catapult or crossbow bolt could get near him.

Moloch merely roared, and the powerful energy turned into sound waves, stirring up a huge wave of air in front of him, directly blocking the countless catapults and arrows that were shooting towards him, and then reflecting them back at an even faster speed, falling into the human legion squares around Bulwark Fortress, causing bursts of exclamations and wails.

A few of the flying stones fell into the devil legions, and many unlucky devils fell headfirst to the ground, immediately disappearing under the unwavering footsteps of the devils behind them.

"Swish!!"

Moloch had no awareness of being a strongman. After blocking the first wave of ranged attacks in front of him, he directly flew through the air towards the human positions in front, preparing to personally eliminate alchemical items such as siege crossbows and catapults, which posed the greatest threat to the devil legions.

"Moloch, you stinky fellow, why aren't you staying in Hell and running to my Fayman World to join in the fun? Could it be that you're tired of living and looking for death?"

"Perfect, I don't have the corpse of a devil duke-level expert in my collection yet, so I'll use you to make up the numbers today!!"

An Ice Strike was directly smashed in front of Moloch's flight path. The sky, which was only air, directly showed a slight white mist in a radius of dozens of meters because of this powerful spell. Moloch's tall body only slightly touched this area, and ice crystals began to spread from the position of his feet to his body.

Moloch's body shook, and a fire shield surrounded him up, down, left, and right out of thin air, firmly protecting him while also dispelling the freezing effect of the Ice Strike.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I was just saying that the humans are all cowards, but it seems that there are still some fearless bugs!!"

Moloch sneered. The figure of a human mage suddenly appeared a hundred meters away. Intense magical fluctuations surrounded him, and a dazzling spell was slowly forming, aimed squarely at Moloch himself.

Although he knew the other party's words were just to provoke him, to make him change his attack direction, Moloch still decisively abandoned his previous plan and swung his whip at the human mage far ahead. The whip's body extended infinitely until it approached the location of the human mage's figure, and the whip shadow transformed into a venomous snake, sweeping towards the human mage.

Poof!

The human mage's figure offered no resistance. Under Moloch's whip, it instantly turned into an illusion. However, the spell from his staff was as real as could be, shooting straight towards Moloch.

Boom!

Half the sky was enveloped in electric snakes, lightning spreading through the air. Many electric snakes struck the ground, bringing the light of judgment to the countless charging devils, turning them into ashes and charred corpses in the powerful lightning storm. Moloch, as the main target of the legendary spell Thunderous Wrath, bore the brunt of the spell's power. His massive body was directly engulfed by the spell, completely out of sight. It wasn't until two or three breaths later that he emerged from the boundless electric light, looking disheveled. His red chainmail was covered in countless black ashes, and his orange-red body had gained a few patches of black and a burnt smell.

"Jie jie jie, you human insect, you have truly angered me!!"

Moloch's figure disappeared into the sky before his voice even faded. When he reappeared, he was already hundreds of meters away, right in front of Edward, the human demigod mage.

Swish!!!!

The whip shadows surged, ice shards scattering. The two powerhouses constantly shifted their positions in the sky, while powerful spells and whip techniques blanketed the sky. The aftershocks continuously battered the ground where the warriors of both sides were already engaged, bringing much trouble and danger to the warriors, forcing them to vacate a large area and stay as far away as possible from the battleground of the powerhouses in the sky.

Although he was only a demigod, Mage Edward, having prepared in advance and understanding his opponent's strengths and weaknesses, cast spells that were highly targeted. Moreover, since his main goal was to stall Moloch, the two sides fought further and further away from the battlefield. After achieving the goal of enraging his opponent, Edward used fewer offensive spells, focusing more on delaying Moloch and escaping, which made him seem constantly on the defensive, but in reality, his life was not in any immediate danger.

A few days ago, if the Mingxi City Royal Palace's magic lock hadn't sealed off his maneuvering space, it would have been a very long and protracted battle for Moloch to capture High Priest Yaye, who possessed a divine artifact and was protected by a paladin demigod.

Without the presence of the most powerful Duke Moloch, more than twenty legendary figures flew out from the rear of the human army once again, intercepting the dozen or so legendary pit fiends wreaking havoc in the rear of the human lines. The two sides quickly engaged in a heated battle, the aftershocks constantly surging across the ground, causing tremors as if there was an earthquake.

The infantry formations at the very front of the human army all held shields, attempting to block the barbed devils' charge, the vanguard of the devil army. However, after only a dozen breaths of initial engagement, the first human ten-thousand-man formation was penetrated by the devil army formation, leaving countless fragmented corpses on the ground. The few terrified human stragglers remaining around, ignoring the threats from the battlefield monitoring teams, turned their heads and began to flee.

In the past few years of confrontation with the demons, the warriors of the human coalition have actually benefited quite a bit. Many legions have been trained and are no longer as disheveled as they were when they first came to the front lines to fight the demons. But even so, under the devil army's silent as iron, plundering like the wind fighting style, the human front-line infantry formation, which was inferior in strength and military quality, collapsed in less than half a magic hour.

Subsequently, the infantry formations on the second line of defense began to engage. After more than one magic hour, the main body of the formation began to declare a complete collapse, and a few routed soldiers began to charge the defenders of the third line of defense.

"Cavalry legions!! Charge!!!!"

Ackerman stood upright on the city wall. Beneath his feet was a succubus, a flying devil army vanguard attacking the castle, twitching helplessly. Ackerman had cleaved a deep, bloody hole in its chest with his heavy sword.

After casually wiping the blood from his body, Ackerman, who was constantly monitoring the battle ahead, knew that it was time to deploy the main force. Otherwise, the infantry formation on the third line of defense might not be able to stop the devils' advance.

"Woo ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

A long horn sounded, and a series of thunderous sounds began to be heard on the undulating earth. From the rear of the human formation, 50,000 human heavy cavalry began to unleash their powerful impact, their target being the devil army's central force that had been replenished.

In the sky, teams of griffin knights and giant eagle knights surrounded the huge and cumbersome three-headed chimeras, fighting and entangled with the flying devil scouts. From time to time, a figure would fall from the sky and turn into a pile of meat on the ground. Well-protected on the backs of the chimeras were huge bamboo baskets, with two human warriors standing inside. At their feet were bombs made of high-power black powder.

Boom!!!! Boom!!!!

The human spellcaster teams had not stopped casting spells since the beginning of the war. Druid and priest teams were casting protective and blessing divine spells on the soldiers in the front formations, while warlock and mage teams condensed everyone's magic power and mental power, smashing powerful spells towards the devil army in front.

The devils on the opposite side were not to be outdone. The spellcaster teams in the devil army also unreservedly smashed their spell-like abilities towards the human army in front. A sky full of blood and fire churned in this tens of miles range.

The human heavy cavalry increased their speed to the extreme, charging head-on into the devil army formation closest to them. As the strongest type of soldier in the age of cold weapons, the heavy cavalry indeed did not disappoint General Ackerman's expectations. Tens of thousands of cavalry, in an arrow formation, had already pierced through the first devil formation they faced in a short dozen breaths.

Without any hesitation, the five ten-thousand-man cavalry legions, after achieving their first victory, charged towards the second devil formation without looking back. Behind them, the human infantry formations naturally replaced their positions, further expanding the torn formation of the devil army, until they completely annihilated the devil warriors in this formation.

The second devil formation was impacted, and then pierced through... …

When the third devil formation appeared in front of the human cavalry, the eyes of the human cavalry commander became somewhat cautious. In a short period of time, the devil army had already completed its re-formation, and the front-row devil soldiers welcoming the cavalry charge had been replaced by chain devils, pulling up long chains, and many iron chains had also been laid on the ground, waiting for the human heavy cavalry to charge.

"Ha!!!!! Ah ~ ~ ~ ~"

Crack!!!! Clang!!!!

"Hee-hee ~ ~ ~ ~"

Warhorses neighed, human knights rolled and fell to the ground. Although there were few chain devils left in the front row of the devil army, they finally managed to stop the human heavy cavalry's charge for the first time.

Although the human heavy cavalry, having lost their speed, still had the upper hand relying on their heavy and solid armor, they still could not easily pierce through the devil army's formations as they had done before. The human heavy cavalry, whose losses were getting bigger and bigger, gradually began to lose their dominance. At this time, the chimera knights flying high in the sky began to show their power again. Under the difficult cover of the giant eagle knights and griffin knights, they flew to the rear of the devil formation, hundreds of meters in the air. The human knights standing in the bamboo baskets began to ignite the alchemical devices one by one, and then aimed at a devil formation and smashed them down directly.

Boom!!!!! Boom!!!!!

Each black powder alchemical device was at least equivalent to the power of a level 7-8 magic. Especially after the device exploded, the black oil, sulfur, and other flammable materials wrapped inside covered the bodies and skin of the devil soldiers, roasting their flesh and extracting the oil from the devils' flesh as fuel. Its sustained destructive power was even more astonishing.

The devil army formation suffered not small losses, but in comparison, the soldiers of the human army suffered even more losses. The pervasive smoke of gunpowder, the roar of fierce fighting, and the sound of weapons colliding continued for a day and a night before finally, under the devil army's initiative to retreat and reorganize, a temporary curtain was drawn.

The protagonist should appear in a few more chapters. The most important prelude to the chaotic situation is about to end!!

These are the plans of several major forces, so the unfolding will be relatively slow. I am also experiencing some difficulties in writing because of the difficult transition of the article's perspective.
