Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 259 Backlash
The sun rose higher and higher, but it seemed that the whole world was getting colder and colder.

Looking down from the sky, the huge walls that surrounded the Valyrian Peninsula like a mountain range were being hit by countless demons surging like a black tide.

Dense swarms of demons climbed up the hundreds-meter-high mountain, howling as they climbed and jumped, digging their claws and weapons firmly into the mountain walls, and leaping several meters or dozens of meters high at a time.

The layers of surging black clouds in the sky were also rolling towards the city walls. Wave after wave of demons fell from the sky and the city walls like rain, and were drowned in the rolling torrent.

The rain of arrows and crossbows whimpered in the sky, showing unprecedented sharpness, but were instantly drowned by wave after wave of demons.

The legion-level magical resonance exploded in the sky, creating a brilliant torrent of spells, sweeping down thousands of demons, but the emptied space was instantly filled by the demons that pounced upon it again.

One after another, huge demon dragons and flying dragons with different scales roared and circled back and forth in the sky, spewing out hot dragon fire and explosive sound waves.

Groups of demons were burned by the angry flames of these furious dragons. Every moment, hundreds of demons turned into blazing torches and fell from the sky. Every second, groups of demons fell to the ground because their internal organs and brains were shattered by the sound waves, or the bones on their wings were shattered.

There was no temptation, and an all-out war broke out from the very beginning. The demons never used this kind of tactic. Their sheer numbers made them an unstoppable force.

The only magnificent city left in this world is like a helpless reef in the sea, welcoming the impact and beating of the devil's huge waves.
A tide of demons numbering in the hundreds of thousands launched an unprecedented fierce attack today. If the city wall had not been surrounded by the sea on three sides, the terror would have already been broken through by the demons everywhere.

In the boundless waves, huge sea monsters also emerged. They were native species and extraordinary creatures in this world of ice and fire. Among them, there were some sea monsters that were even larger than the dragons spewing dragon flames in the sky.

A giant clawed fish snorkeling in the deep sea revealed its huge body on the sea surface. Its body was like a small land with countless tentacles tens of meters long and equipped with huge suction cups slapping in the tide. It rose into the air, rolled up demons one by one and pressed them into the sea, drowning some of them alive.

The demons that could not be drowned wanted to float to the surface of the sea and fly again, but were rolled up again by the tentacles of this huge claw fish. The densely packed teeth like sharp blades on the suction cups slid across the demons' bodies, sucking and crushing them alive into skeletons.

There are also whale shark monsters in the sea, which are hundreds of meters long and spit out water columns. Although their power is weak, they are enough to shoot down flying low-level demons.

This huge whale shark knocked the demons into the sea, and then slammed its huge tail down, smashing the demons into pieces directly on the sea surface. The smelly blood spread and gradually polluted the nearby sea.

There were also many sea beasts that were easily killed by the demons, floating on the sea with their bellies white.

Most of these creatures, which were seen by the inhabitants of this world and then worshipped and revered as the 'Drowned God', simply grew to huge sizes due to the characteristics of this world and did not possess extraordinary powers.

Although he can kill demons with his tremendous physical strength, he can also be easily killed by demons.

There are also some sea beasts that are controlled by slavery scrolls made by the imperial wizards. These sea beasts can cooperate a little under the control of some entry-level low-level spellcasters and can cause some trouble to the demon army on the sea.

Most of this continent is located in a magically barren area. In order to launch a full-scale offensive, the demons in Changxia, on the other side of the strait, have countless demon legions on the seashore who are trying to freeze the entire strait with their own innate powers.

Freeze the turbulent sea into an ice continent, then set foot on the ice continent and destroy this city that looks shaky but always stands firm.

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

However, the amount of energy required to completely freeze the vast sea surface in the magical wasteland is unpredictable. Thousands of demons have exhausted their own strength, freezing the sea surface forward a few inches and feet, and then they are no longer able to do anything.

Although the demons that cannot be replenished are not as strong as usual, they are still capable of fighting.

However, the high-level demons don’t care about these low-level demons. The large-scale mobilization makes these high-level demons impatient and a waste of time.

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

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

Snapped,
The long whip with spikes and hooks swung out, pulling a demon that had exhausted its strength into the sea. The six-armed snake demon swam around and shouted coldly, "Next batch!"

The demon, who had exhausted all his strength, wailed as he advanced forward, but was mercilessly pushed into the sea by his companions behind him, becoming a stepping stone.

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

Even amidst the flood of spells and demonic shadows, there was still a surging white light, which was particularly eye-catching on the entire defense line.

In the eyes of the six-armed snake demon, although this strong light is not as annoying as the holy energy spell light targeting demons, it also poses a powerful threat to demons.

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

call out,
An unparalleled column of fire swept across the city wall, and the furious dragon-born wolf Sahali spewed out the destructive power given to him by the red dragon between his teeth. His flames were more explosive than the dragon breath magic of those dragon-born.

Even the mid-level demons mixed in the tide will have no resistance once they are contaminated by the red dragon's flames and will be turned into ashes in the flames. All energy and matter will become fuel for this flame of destruction.

Oh,
A dazzling light suddenly appeared, and a small white sun seemed to appear in the sky, and the area within a radius of hundreds of meters was completely covered by this dazzling light.

"Ow ooh..."

Countless demons fell from the city wall with miserable howls. Any demon within the range of the light had no ability to resist.

Gillenis's resolute face was completely covered with rich mental energy, as if he was wearing another layer of armor. Bright light bloomed on his raised hammer, and the surging mental blows directly tore apart the souls of those low-level demons, and then went out in an instant.

It’s not that this warrior’s strength is insufficient, but that these warriors have already mastered the skills to utilize every bit of strength in long battles and will not waste any strength.

The demons on the city walls and in the sky were instantly cleared, which gave Gillenis a chance to speak. He quickly shouted, "The reserve team is ready to take over the defense line. Legion soldiers assemble immediately!"

The power of this legion commander did not surprise the surrounding soldiers, but Gillenis's abnormal excitement surprised these soldiers.

Gillenis swung the hammer gently. He felt that his newly forged weapon was more useful. The power in his body was constantly increasing, expanding with his rising will to fight. His vigorous heart energy was growing stronger 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.

As the legion commander, he knew that the current legion alone could not hold out for long. Using the city walls to defend against the first and most violent wave of attacks was already a good result.

The demon's attack will gradually intensify, so we must take the initiative to attack and share the strong defensive pressure. In this way, we may be able to hold out until the ancestral red dragon arrives.

They had done the same thing in the past, but today he was more excited.

boom,
The golem warriors used their fists of rock and steel to smash the heads of the demons that were climbing up. Then they pulled the arms of the demons that were still clawing at the cracks in the city wall, lifted up the demons' bodies, and slammed them against the wall, smashing and killing the demons behind them.

One by one, the devil-like warriors hacked the real demons to death or knocked down the city walls and quickly gathered together.

The reserve team has already been in place. Rather than calling it a reserve team, it is better to call it an auxiliary defense team behind these soldiers. These reserve soldiers are all elite soldiers selected from this world.

They always stayed behind the legionnaires so they could take over the entire line of defense at any time.

The mages that were mobilized have also arrived at their positions and started to cast spells collectively, adding spell shields and three-dimensional defensive spells of element absorption to the Dragon Legion warriors who were preparing to attack.

Then he blessed the reserve soldiers with spiritual weapons and spells that increased their physical strength, and began to take over the city defense line.

In the sky, the dragon captain Bartoli held a dragon spear and moved around on the back of the flying dragon Swift Shadow, but she always kept close contact with the city wall defense line.

In legion combat, coordination is the most important thing.

Seeing Gillianis's orders and actions, Bartoli quickly adjusted her front line in the dragon battle and began to deploy flying dragons and magic dragons to cooperate with Gillianis's actions.

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

The dragonborn wolf was trying to soothe his somewhat dry and hot throat, with wisps of smoke coming out from between his fangs and sharp teeth. But the huge sword weighing a hundred pounds in his hand never stopped.

Whenever an Unsullied warrior was knocked down by a demon, the dragonborn wolf's giant sword would always chop off the demon's head in the next second, making the entire line of defense impregnable.

Although some warriors were killed by demons, the defense line has never been shaken.

But the dragon-born werewolf Saha and Gilenes had the same idea that in this world where the empire's power was severely insufficient, it would be difficult to persist by relying solely on defense.

So he quickly responded to Gilenes' idea and began to dispatch legion soldiers to gather at the main gate of the city wall defense line.

By the time he arrived to clear the defense line, all the legionnaires were already waiting, with two gigantic Titan pythons clinging to the battlements, clearing the entire area of demons.

The Empire's spellcaster legion jointly cast spells, using burning hands and crushing sound waves to clear the demons on the ground and create a temporary clearing, preparing for the legion soldiers to land on the ground.

The dragon knights in the sky, under the control of Bartoli and the Dragon King family, began to counterattack, sweeping out a battlefield in the sky that could not affect these warriors.

"I have foreseen this," Gilenes raised his hammer high and shouted, "The emperor of the empire is coming soon. Today is the day for these demons to repent. Let them repent. Today is the day they die!"

"Repent! Today is the day they die!"

The continuous sound of steel resounded, the empire's soldiers were in high spirits, the cold light shone on the city walls, the demon warriors spread their wings, the dragon warriors roared and breathed out dragons, the devil warriors opened their claws with bloodthirsty claws, and the golem warriors roared loudly.

The golem army was the first to land from the city wall.

Bang bang bang,
One after another, golem warriors made of huge stones and steel slid down from the city wall, directly crushing and killing dozens of demons that were climbing and jumping up, and then trampled the demons into meat pulp.

But the huge and heavy bodies of these golem warriors were instantly submerged by the surging demons. The power of the golem army was so great that the heavy hammers directly beat the demons to death.

But dozens and hundreds of demons hung on the golems, biting with claws, hacking with weapons, pulling, smashing and knocking down the six golem warriors in an instant.

But the Blood Scale Violent Legion warriors, wearing heavy armor, spread their dragon wings and descended from the sky. Under the power of their blood, surging dragon breath spewed out of their mouths, centered around the warriors' bodies, sweeping in a fan shape, igniting the surrounding demons. The demons rolled into the sea with howls, and were then torn into the deep sea by sea beasts.

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

Low-level demons surged up again. Perhaps some of them were afraid of death, but pushed by the demons behind them, they desperately tried to drown the flames of these dragon blood warriors with their bodies.

But a laughter even more terrifying than the demons' furious howls came from the sky, and warriors who looked like high-level demons and devils completely let go of the restrictions of their bloodline, revealing their fighting bodies with goat and cow horns on their heads and huge demon and devil wings growing on them.

These brutal demon hunters and dragon devil warriors used the heavy weapons in their right hands to strike out, knocking the bodies of the demons that were rushing towards them away. Their left hands' sharp claws like dragon claws, burning with the evil fire of demons and devils, directly pierced through the demons' hearts and crushed them.

The mid-level demons mixed in the tide screamed and pounced forward, but two huge Titan pythons jumped out from behind these warriors, and their hooked 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 down directly from the city wall that was hundreds of meters high, crushing the solid ground of the entire Valyria Avenue into fine cracks.

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

Gillianis raised the sledgehammer high, and the dragon-born werewolf Saha held the heavy sword, showing an excited look.

"Repent! Today is the day you will die!"
