Chapter 1513: Victory in the First Battle!
Chapter 1513: Victory in the First Battle!
They could clearly feel themselves weakening.
And the source of all this.
It could only be the commander’s fault!
Not to mention that Matthew was flying above them with Osseidro’s body.
Other than a few brave Abyssal Mages who were quickly taken care of.
Osseidro himself did not come out to refute the other party’s statement.
This was enough to explain everything!
The morale of the demon army quickly became extremely low.
Putting aside the backlash from the Sacred Weapon Ritual Ground.
One of the drawbacks of Osseidro’s long-term love of micro-control was that without his control, the demon army’s formation would lose its order.
Under normal circumstances.
It was impossible for the army of the Abyss to be arranged in such a neat and dense manner.
When Osseidro was around, all these were not problems but advantages.
But once Osseidro died.
When chaos began to erupt.
The hidden danger of the demon army’s dense phalanx quickly erupted.
Morale was low, and the confused demons began to push each other.
Some wanted to verify their commander’s death, some wanted to leave the battlefield temporarily, and some wanted to continue attacking the cemetery!
The three legions in the first echelon were clearly divided.
The berserk Brett demons only knew how to carry out the commander’s orders and launch continuous attacks.
The Great Demon Warlord wanted to maintain order, control the situation, and then take over the power gap left by the death of Osseidro.
As for the cavalry demons…
They had already returned to the second echelon under the leadership of the Gemini Cavalry Demons!
“What a fast escape! ”
Matthew was slightly surprised. The two brothers ‘perception of danger was quite good. They could always pull out from danger!
However, in this situation.
Matthew naturally could not target such individuals who were good at sensing the situation.
At this moment.
He began to mobilize his forces to counterattack in the chaos.
On the west wing, the southern mage army’s magic ships were all activated, and the two skeleton axemen units that Rick had originally used as backup troops were also charging forward.
Ancestral Demon Brett was caught in the middle of a frontal battle, and the cavalry demons had fled. Only a few Greater Demons and other demons remained in the second legion, putting up a stubborn resistance.
However, after Rick charged forward a few times.
After a few rounds.
The remaining demons of the second legion also scattered and fled.
The demons in the east wing were even more embarrassed.
They had originally wanted to go around the back, but who knew that their commander would be gone!
The moment Matthew gave the order to counterattack.
Rheagar’s Fire Bat Soldiers and cavalrymen had already set their sights on them.
Although Matthew was reluctant to let them join the battlefield, the main reason was that every soldier of Rheagar was very expensive and not as cheap and durable as his own undead.
But when it came to fighting.
The Fire Bat Soldiers and the Hell Cavalry were extremely powerful.
They cooperated with the Forest Guards and Centaurs, who charged out of the forest. Not long after, these 3,000 demons were killed.
Many demons saw that the situation was not right and began to flee towards the north.
However, this was the situation that the cavalrymen were most happy to see.
They chased along the edge of the forest and obtained a lot of results!
As for the main battlefield.
After being beaten up for half a day, Phily used a powerful counterattack storm to blow the horn of the counterattack.
Matthew personally led the cemetery’s elite army to attack.
Not long after.
They had wiped out a large number of Ancestral Fiends, as well as a portion of the Fiends who had failed to retreat from the battlefield in time.
“Phew! ”
Wherever Matthew and Phily passed by, the corpses of the demons lay on the ground.
The Dragon of Twilight followed behind, occasionally spitting out a fan-shaped breath.
Not long after.
In the area hit by the breath, the demons stumbled back up.
Not long after they got up, they were pulled into the team by Argus, who was busy catching able-bodied men.
His cannon fodder troops had been nearly wiped out in the battle against the Ancestral Demons.
But it was alright.
The finishing touches were not yet complete.
The newly joined cannon fodder was already in position.
When the Twilight Dragon turned all the corpses into cannon fodder, Argus ‘troops would be several times stronger than before!
Just like that…
On the battlefield, filled with frost, fire, and negative energy, the sounds of killing gradually became quiet.
Matthew stood in the air one kilometre north of the trench and looked north.
The second and third echelons of the Abyssal legion had already retreated to the vicinity of the ruins of the northern trading post.
During this retreat.
A large number of demons had died along the way.
As if the souls of the dead were wailing and crying, a thick fog slowly rose from the battlefield.
The fog separated the cemetery and the Abyss Army.
Everything returned to silence.
Matthew looked at the corpses in front of him and slowly let out a sigh of relief.
He knew that the abyssal legion would not let the matter rest.
But no matter what.
At least he had taken the first step to protect Rolling Stone City.
The first battle was a victory!
…
Night fell.
In the Soul Cage.
Osseidero was still begging,
“Stop!
“I’m willing to cooperate with all your actions!
“Please, let me go! ”
Not far away.
Matthew waved his hand to stop the Banshee Queen’s torture.
“I don’t really want to torture you.
“I don’t have any opinions about you personally.
“It’s just that a friend of mine told me that you Abyssal Mages have a trick that allows you to escape. Even if your soul is imprisoned, you still have a chance to escape.
“And the only way to avoid this is to keep whipping, am I right? ”
Osseidro’s breathing stopped.
Then, he said with difficulty,
“There is indeed such a spell in the Abyss, but my soul is not strong enough to do that.
“You should be able to feel that I’m very weak now. I can’t even maintain my soul form, let alone escape!
“Torturing me or killing me won’t help the war.
“In the Abyss, the will of the Mother is above everything else. The Mother of the Abyss wants us to attack Rolling Stone City. Even if I die, the demons will choose a new leader to replace me and continue to invade your territory.
“On the contrary, as long as I live, I can provide you with information from the Abyss.
“You are a smart person, and I am not stupid. We are all mages, and I know how to survive. Believe me, I will not be stupid. ”
He looked at Matthew pleadingly.
Matthew was unmoved.
He motioned to Sinfran to whip Osseidro.
Then, he said,
“You have no bargaining chips with me.
“I’ll only ask you once.
“If you don’t answer, you’ll die!
“Now, I want to know what Asner’s real goal is. ”
Matthew’s eyes were like torches, locking onto Osseidro’s Spirit Body like an eagle.
Osseidro replied in a low voice,
” Rolling Stone City, Deep Blue Harbor, Jewel Bay, Lion City… There were also some city-states in the north. He wants them.”
Matthew sneered.
“That’s not what I’m asking. You just said I’m smart, but you’re not stupid either.
“Then you’re just pretending to be a fool.
“I’ll give you one last chance-
“What is Asner’s real goal? ”
He did not believe that the Lord of the Abyss, Asnar, was a complete lunatic.
There was a high probability that the Holy Mages would return in a month.
Not only did the other party let all the demons under him come out, but he also landed in the material world with his true body.
This was a heavy price to pay.
There must be a strategic goal behind it that matched its value.
Matthew had been wondering about this.
He hoped to get an answer from Osseidro.
Osseidro was silent for a long time.
After a while.
“I’ll die if I tell you. ”
He said in a very confident tone,
“I can only tell you that he does have a goal that he is very eager to achieve…
“Although his body was divided into 100 million parts, most of it was just a trick.
“His real body went to a place, a place I didn’t mention just now… ”
At that moment.
A flash of lightning flashed across Matthew’s mind.
“Jade Court? ”
He just blurted it out.
Osseidro’s spirit body suddenly trembled violently!
…
