Free Web NovelChapter 1190: Chapter 817: The Army at the Gates (2)
The urgent voice of the Spider Elf Scout Leader, "Star Whisperer" Wei, rang through the strategic communication channel.
On the enormous crystal sand table, the dark red spots representing demon energy concentration rippled fiercely towards the Blood Pit Fortress like a stone thrown into a pond.
The Blood War Fortress already had rich experience in dealing with this.
"The demon army’s movements have changed! They... they’re redirecting! At least several large demon legions are detaching from the main battlefield and are rapidly congregating towards the Blood Pit Fortress region."
What does this mean? It’s obvious.
This clearly means they are targeting the Blood Pit Fortress.
The demons ultimately cannot tolerate yet another fortress standing on the Blood Battle Battlefield, which signifies the Blood War Fortress has progressed further, slowly consuming their territory.
Blood Pit Fortress · Wall Command Post.
"Detected a source of ultra-large-scale chaos creature reaction! Quantity... too numerous to accurately count! Direction east, northeast!"
The Night Watcher atop the lookout tower screamed hoarsely into the channel, and what he saw through the enchanted long-tube was breath-taking.
The horizon was covered by a murky magic tide, like foul-smelling seawater.
Countless frenzied roars converged into a low, hair-raising sound wave, causing even the fortress’s steel framework to resonate.
The sky was also obscured by a swarm of Abyssal Night Demon wings, casting giant shadows.
The demons arrived extremely quickly and in great numbers.
"Repeat! It’s siege battle level giant combat beasts." The Night Watcher Scout observing the demon movements sounded tense.
This meant that the opponent was coming to flatten them.
The fortress immediately entered the highest state of combat readiness.
The piercing alarms broke the brief moment of peace just obtained.
The Night Watcher troops operated like precision instruments in high-speed:
All fixed defense installations were charged and ready, the runic crossbow cannons’ bases hummed steadily.
The mobile units quickly gathered in open areas within the city, preparing equipment with the clanging sounds of metal collisions.
The Avengers put down their resting tasks, eyes heavy yet excited, and surged towards their respective defensive zones.
The warehouse district operated at full capacity, boxes of ammunition and energy crystal stones were swiftly delivered by tracked robots to various parts of the wall.
Engineering troops began reinforcing weak points of the walls, and setting up temporary spell amplification towers.
At the central plaza, where the teleportation gate is opened, this place forms the heart of the entire Blood Pit Fortress.
Kana hovered before the giant teleportation gate, which was gradually dimming but still stable, his deep gaze pierced through space as if seeing the despairing front line of the magic tide.
There was no surprise on his face; this was something already anticipated.
The Abyss was going to take action, and its reaching tendrils were these swarming demons.
At least now he did not see an overwhelming demon horde coming, although the wave-like demons were numerous, it was indeed better than the worst scenario he imagined.
The Night Watchers were in a defensive posture, the demon numbers were immense but chaotic.
In terms of fortress defense, the Night Watchers were professional, from building structure to personnel experience, to weaponry and equipment.
These were beyond doubt, fought out time and again, especially when facing human-wave tactics, the Night Watchers were even more adept.
More combat power was needed now.
Reliance solely on the regular rotation combat power of the Blood Pit Fortress to fend off this attack was clearly wishful thinking.
Yet again, Kana had already anticipated this possibility and naturally prepared.
"As expected, let me see how intolerable you find the existence of Blood Pit Fortress."
He whispered, then exerted powerful force directly in the space connected to Ring Tower City.
His hands slammed onto the teleportation gate core! This time, instead of creating a giant material passageway, he forcibly tore open a more stable, ultra-large-scale teleportation channel with pure starlight flowing at the core.
The other end of the channel directly connected to the ready area of Ring Tower City’s elites.
Buzz buzz——!
Amid intense space fluctuations, new light appeared.
The first to appear in the eyes of the Blood Pit Fortress Night Watchers were platoons of elite Night Watcher Light Guardians armed to the teeth, undeniably the main force in the Night Watcher’s legion warfare.
Their eyes were sharp, their equipment excellent, treading with orderly and determined steps out of the teleportation gate, swiftly taking over wall reserve defense zones, filling critical areas without hesitation.
Some Avengers even spotted familiar faces among them, indeed, these Night Watchers were previously rotated back for rest.
This time being temporarily drafted.
After all, they were familiar with this place, and even more so with the demons.
Following them were squads emitting powerful magic waves, strike teams centered around these squads, and engineering support teams equipped with various strange alchemy equipment.
The main structure of Night Watchers still focused on small team-based battle strengths, in warfare they were coordinated together for scheduling.
The only exception was the Light Guardians; most of their time was spent in small team operations as well.
This exploited the Night Watchers’ strengths well.
Yet in a defensive posture guarding the walls, the situation with small teams would be inapplicable.
However, more thrilling were the shadows emerging from that pure starlight channel!
A figure moving so swiftly it left only a cyan afterimage on the retina dashed out first.
Upon landing, it transformed into a giant troll clad in stream-lined dark turquois scale armor, riding a massive winged dragon—Grey Fang.
In his hand was a throwable short spear, encircled by wind and thunder, clearly not ordinary equipment.
"Ha! The Abyss air is really choking! Raelia, not awake yet?"
Grey Fang shouted to the rushing Centaur Vanguard with his signature wild smile.
With years and increased power, his muscular knotted physique appeared even more formidable, only those prominent teeth and wild eyes unchanged.
Most importantly, it was the fluency of his speech.
Over the years, he had long shrugged off the once stumbling speech manner and could now converse smoothly and freely.
A shadow almost blending into the environment silently emerged at the wall crenel, then revealed a slender and tall elf silhouette.
Her face bore a half-mask, showing only deep ink-green eyes as profound as night sky, with two long daggers like venomous snake fangs slung at her waist—Annabelle.
Her appearance seemed to chill the surrounding air, merely nodding slightly in Raelia’s direction.
Looking colder than before.
Though Raelia could tell at a glance, she was only pretending.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled slightly.
A large figure like a moving mountain squeezed out of the channel.
With an upper body covered in thick fur and metallic-inlaid armor, a face with kind eyes but full force, the mighty bear.
The lower half comically clad in custom reinforced metal girdle.
Divine Warrior—Karen.
She growled as a greeting, a giant bear paw gently patted Raelia’s horse’s back.
"Karen, don’t keep up that form all the time." A bell-like teasing female voice sounded.
Finally appearing was a centaur figure draped in dark purple priest robe adorned with desecration runes, yet balancing under Order Divine Power—Desecration Priest Abis.
She jumped down lightly, ignoring the slight anomalies created by abyssal aura lightly resonating with her power, walked over and hugged Raelia’s horse neck directly.
They hadn’t met for quite a while.
"Sister."
Raelia gazed at the familiar faces before her—Grey Fang’s wildness, Annabelle’s silence, Karen’s fortitude, Abis’s wisdom.
Quite a long time, since the initial formation of a Soul Guardian Squad.
Growing separately on their paths, then under this Abyss pressure, reunited at the forefront of this Abyssal furnace!
"Welcome to the Abyss, everyone."
Her voice carried a hint of almost imperceptible smugness.
