Under the Red Dragon

The sun rose higher and higher, but it seemed the whole world was growing colder and colder.

From high above, the massive city walls that surrounded the Valyrian Peninsula like a mountain range were being battered by countless demons surging like a black tide.

Dense masses of demons climbed up the hundreds-of-meters-high mountain walls, howling as they scaled, jumped, and used their claws and weapons to firmly embed themselves in the wall, leaping meters or even tens of meters at a time.

The layers of churning black clouds in the sky also rolled towards the city walls, wave after wave of demons falling like rain from the sky and the walls, submerged in the advancing torrent.

A rain of arrows and bolts whistled through the sky, displaying unprecedented sharpness, but was instantly swallowed by wave after wave of the demonic tide.

Legion-level magical resonance exploded in the sky, creating a dazzling torrent of spells that swept away tens of thousands of demons, but the cleared space was instantly filled by the demons surging back.

Giant dragons and wyverns of various scale colors roared and raged, circling and charging back and forth in the sky, spewing scorching dragonfire and concussive sonic waves.

Large patches of demons were incinerated by the furious flames of these enraged dragons, with hundreds or thousands of demons turning into burning torches falling from the sky every moment, and batches of demons being shattered in their internal organs, brains, or wing bones by sonic waves every second, causing them to plummet.

There was no probing; a full-scale war erupted from the start. Demons never used such tactics; their absolute numbers were their unstoppable power.

The only remaining magnificent city in this world was like a lonely reef in the sea, facing the overwhelming waves of demons crashing against it.

Hundreds of thousands of demonic tides launched an unprecedented fierce attack today. If the city walls were not defended by the sea on three sides, the terrifying onslaught would have been breached by the ubiquitous demons long ago.

In the boundless sea, gigantic sea beasts and monsters emerged, native species and extraordinary creatures of this Ice and Fire world, some even larger than the dragons spewing flames in the sky.

A giant clawfish lurking in the deep sea revealed its enormous body on the surface, its body resembling a small landmass with countless thick, tens-of-meters-long tentacles covered in huge suckers thrashing in the tide, rising into the air, and dragging demons into the sea, drowning some of them alive.

Demons that couldn't drown tried to surface and fly again, but were reeled in by the giant clawfish's tentacles, the dense, blade-like teeth on the suckers scraping across their bodies, tearing them into skeletons.

There were also whale-shark monsters in the sea, hundreds of meters long, spouting water columns that, while weak, were enough to knock down low-level flying demons.

This giant whale-shark knocked the demons into the sea, then slammed its massive tail down, smashing them into pieces on the surface, the stinking blood gradually polluting the nearby waters.

Some sea beasts were easily killed by the demons, their bellies turning white as they floated on the sea.

These creatures, seen by the inhabitants of this world and worshiped as 'Drowning Gods,' were mostly just gigantic in size due to the characteristics of this world and did not possess extraordinary power.

Although they could kill demons with their immense physical strength, they could also be easily killed by demons.

Some sea beasts were controlled by the enslavement scrolls created by the empire's mages. Under the control of some entry-level low-level casters, they could cooperate slightly and cause some trouble to the demon army on the sea.

And most of the continent was in a region of magic barrenness. In order to fully deploy the offensive, the demons had countless legions on the shores of the Land of the Long Summer across the strait, using their innate powers to freeze the entire strait.

Freezing the turbulent sea into a continent of ice, and then stepping onto the icy continent to destroy this seemingly crumbling but always standing city.

High-level demons stood on the opposite shore of the strait, waving long whips, driving low-level demons to use their own power to forcibly freeze the sea water.

But the power required to completely freeze the vast sea in a magic barren region was incalculable. Thousands of demons exhausted their power, freezing the sea forward by inches, and then were powerless to continue.

Although the demons who could not be replenished were not as powerful as usual, they still had combat power.

However, the high-level demons didn't care about these low-level demons. The large-scale mobilization made these high-level demons very impatient and wasted time.

They actually had the low-level demons behind them push the demons in front into the sea, and then replaced them with another batch of demons to continue the previous behavior.

The demons floating in the sea struggled in the sea water, congealing into ice blocks, but no low-level demon dared to resist the orders of the high-level demons, and no low-level demon would sympathize with their companions.

Snap.

A long whip with barbs and hooks lashed out, pulling a demon who had exhausted his power into the sea. The six-armed snake demon wriggled its body and coldly shouted, "Next batch!"

The demons who had exhausted their power wailed as they were ruthlessly pushed into the sea by their companions, becoming stepping stones.

But the six-armed snake demon suddenly turned its head and looked towards the mountains in the distance.

Even in the midst of the magical torrents and demonic shadows, there was still a surge of blazing white light, especially eye-catching on the entire defense line.

In the eyes of the six-armed snake demon, although this strong light was not as annoying as the holy energy magic light that targeted demons, it still posed a great threat to demons.

And the blazing flames were somewhat similar to the dragon flames in the sky, but even more fierce and violent. Every time they erupted, even from a distance, the six-armed snake demon could sense how much the flames containing the aura of the red dragon wanted to destroy everything in front of it, even demons.

Whoosh.

An unmatched pillar of fire swept across the city wall, the Dragonborn Warg Sahali spitting out the power of destruction bestowed upon him by the red dragon between his teeth, his flames more explosive than the dragon breath spells of those Dragonborn.

Even mid-level demons mixed in the tide were unable to resist the flames of the red dragon and turned to ashes in the flames. All energy and matter were the accelerants of this flame of destruction.

Swish.

A dazzling light suddenly lit up, and a small, blazing white sun seemed to appear in the sky, completely enveloping an area of hundreds of meters.

"Aoo..."

Countless demons wailed and fell from the city wall, and any demons within the range of this light were unable to resist.

Gillenis's resolute face was completely covered by dense psionic energy, like wearing another layer of armor. The blazing light bloomed on his raised warhammer, and the surging psychic strikes directly tore apart the souls of those low-level demons and then extinguished them instantly.

It was not that the warrior's power was insufficient, but that these warriors had long mastered the technique of using every bit of power in the long battle and would not waste any bit of power.

The demons on the city wall and in the sky were instantly swept away, giving Gillenis a chance to speak. He quickly shouted loudly, "The reserve team prepares to take over the defense line, and the legion warriors immediately assemble!"

The legion commander's power did not surprise the surrounding warriors, but Gillenis's unusual excitement surprised these warriors.

Gillenis gently waved his heavy hammer. He always felt that his reforged weapon seemed to be better, and the power in his body was constantly expanding with his rising fighting will.

The vigorous psionic energy was strengthening with his will.

He could feel that the source of this power, the emperor of the empire, was gradually approaching this world, getting closer and closer.

And as the legion commander, he knew that the current legion alone could not defend for long. Using the city wall to defend against the first and most violent wave of attacks could be considered a good result.

And the demon's impact will gradually intensify in the future, and it is necessary to take the initiative to attack and share the strong defensive pressure, so that maybe they can persist until the arrival of the Ancestral Red Dragon.

They used to do this, but today, he was even more excited.

Bang.

One golem warrior after another used their rock and steel fists to directly smash the heads of the climbing demons, and then grabbed the arms of these demons still stuck in the cracks of the city wall, lifted the demons' bodies and slapped them on the wall, smashing and sweeping away the demons behind them.

One demon-like warrior after another killed or knocked down the real demons, and quickly assembled.

The reserve team was already in place. Rather than a reserve team, it was more like the assistance defense team behind these warriors. The warriors of these reserve teams were all elite warriors drawn from this world.

They always stayed behind the legion warriors so that they could take over the entire defense line at any time.

The drawn mage group was also in place, and began to collectively cast spells, adding magical shields and three-dimensional defensive spells of elemental absorption to the Dragon Legion warriors preparing to charge.

Then they blessed the reserve team warriors with spiritual weapons and stamina-increasing spells, and began to take over the city defense line.

The flying dragon corps commander Bartoli held a dragon spear, traversing on the back of the flying dragon Swift Shadow, but always maintained close contact with the city wall defense line.

In legion operations, coordination is the most important thing.

Seeing Gillenis's orders and actions, the flying dragon corps Bartoli quickly adjusted the formation and began to draw flying dragons and dragons, preparing to cooperate with Gillenis's actions.

The order to change the defense line was quickly conveyed, and the city wall began to surge with people, handing over the defense line in an orderly manner.

The Dragonborn wolfman eased his somewhat dry and hot throat, wisps of smoke rising from between his fangs. But the giant sword weighing hundreds of pounds never stopped.

Whenever a warrior of the Immaculate was knocked down by a demon, the Dragonborn wolfman's giant sword would always chop off the demon's head in the next second, defending the entire defense line as solid as gold.

Although some warriors would be killed by demons, the defense line was never shaken.

But the Dragonborn wolfman Saha and Gillenis had the same idea. In this world where the power of the empire was seriously insufficient, it was difficult to persist by defense alone.

So he quickly responded to Gillenis's idea and began to dispatch legion warriors to gather towards the main gate of the city wall defense line.

By the time he cleared the defense line and arrived, all the legion warriors were already waiting, and two giant Titan pythons were clinging to the battlements, sweeping away the demons in the entire area.

The empire's caster legion jointly cast spells, using burning hands and shattering sonic waves to clear a temporary open space on the ground for the legion warriors to descend to the ground.

The dragon knights in the sky, driven by Bartoli and the Dragon King family, began to charge in the opposite direction, clearing a battlefield in the sky that would not affect these warriors.

"I have foreseen it," Gillenis raised his heavy hammer and shouted loudly, "The emperor of the empire is coming soon. Today is the day for these demons to repent. Let them repent. Today is their death!"

"Repent! Today is their death!"

The sound of steel reverberated, the empire's warriors were full of fighting spirit, the cold light shone on the city wall, the demon warriors spread their wings, the dragon warriors roared dragon breath, the devil warriors greedily stretched their claws, and the golem warriors, grunted lowly.

And the golem legion, took the lead in descending from the city wall.

Bang bang bang.

One golem warrior after another slid down from the city wall, directly smashing dozens of climbing and jumping demons to death, and then trampled the demons into flesh.

But the huge and heavy bodies of these golem warriors were instantly submerged by the surging demons with their own flesh. The power of the golem legion was extremely great, and the beating heavy hammers directly beat the demons to death.

But dozens or hundreds of demons hung on the golems, biting with their claws and teeth, slashing with weapons, pulling and throwing, and instantly brought down six golem warriors.

But one blood-scaled berserker legion warrior after another, wearing heavy armor, spread their dragon wings and descended from the sky, and the surging dragon breath spewed out of their mouths under the power of their bloodline, sweeping in a fan shape with the warriors' bodies as the center, igniting the surrounding demons, who howled and rolled into the sea, and then were pulled into the deep sea by one sea beast after another.

"Tear them apart, kill them, they dare to leave this big shell..."

The low-level demons surged up again. Maybe there were demons who feared death, but under the pushing of the demons behind them, they desperately used their flesh to submerge the flames of these dragon blood warriors.

But laughter more terrifying than the demons' furious howls descended from the sky. One warrior after another, like high-level demons and devils, completely let go of their bloodline restrictions, revealing their battle bodies with horns and bull horns, and huge demon and devil wings.

These brutal demon hunters and dragon devil warriors slammed their heavy weapons in their right hands, knocking away the demons that pounced on them, and their left hands, like dragon claws, burned with the evil fire of demons and devils, directly pierced the hearts of the demons that pounced on them, and crushed their hearts.

The mid-level demons mixed in the tide screamed and pounced, but two giant Titan pythons rushed out from behind these warriors, and their hook-like fangs directly cut the powerful mid-level demons into pieces, and then swallowed the hearts and essence of these demons.

Boom.

Two powerful warriors jumped directly from the city wall, hundreds of meters high, and the solid ground of the entire Valyrian Avenue was cracked with dense cracks.

Hundreds of demons around were knocked away by the impact of these two powerful warriors.

Gillenis raised his heavy hammer, and the Dragonborn wolfman Saha held his heavy sword, revealing an excited look.

"Repent! Today, is the day of your death!"
