The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 205 "We were prepared!"

at the same time.

The human side's position.

Golems with scratches and damage on their surfaces are lining up to board the airship, waiting for the warp drive to be activated.

After this battle, the damage to the Eldorian Golem Legion was not severe. Even the golems that were severely damaged and temporarily incapacitated were within the scope of repair.

This is not surprising, after all, golems are known for their strong defense. And they are facing a group of enemies who don't know how to deal with golems.

Many mages cast continuous fire spells such as [Fire Wall] and [Create Bonfire], bathing the battle-damaged steel golems in flames.

In the crimson flames, the scratches and damage on the surfaces of these steel giants are being continuously repaired.

—【Flame Absorption】!
Iron golems can absorb fire energy to repair themselves. This ability is also the bane of fire-based demons such as the Balrog.

When the time comes to truly face the demon army, these golems that have made great contributions today will be able to fight again with their full strength!

The humans of Eldoron are packing up and preparing for a mass teleportation to leave the Sun Elf royal palace complex, which is now almost in ruins.

Like the elves, they also received news of the abyss invasion.

Unlike the elves, the humans of Eldoron showed no panic.

They had known this day would come.

They prepared for this for 10 years.

"The Abyss Rift is closer to the Elven Kingdom and farther from us. Theoretically, we should face less pressure and have nothing to worry about."

"The defensive fortifications have already been completed, and the entire undead legion is equipped with cold iron weapons."

"After years of targeted training, the battle mages are intimately familiar with the weaknesses of all kinds of demons. They've been waiting for this day!"

"The gnoll and minotaur tribes near Eldoron have long been eliminated. There's no need to worry about them being used by the demon lords..."

"..."

Many demon lords are leaders of monsters from certain material planes, or even the creators of these monsters, and have their own monster followers in the mortal realm.

For example, Koschitch is the king of the frost giants and has an unclear relationship with the giant pantheon; Yenogu is the creator of the gnolls, Buffyment is the creator of the minotaurs, and Pazuzu is the leader of the dark bird creatures; [Undead Highlord] Okus is the source of many high-ranking undead and the inventor of the [Lich Conversion Ritual].

When the Abyss invades, the monsters of these material planes will also be inspired and blessed by the demon lords, becoming a terrible threat.

Therefore, over the years, Elion had already led the soldiers of Eldoron to sweep through all the monster communities within a 300-mile radius of Eldoron that might be related to the well-known demon lord!
Completely eliminate the possibility that they could become a threat during an invasion of the abyss.

"The invasion of the abyss has finally begun..."

On the ruins of the royal palace, Elian gazed at the rising sun in the east, his gaze traveling a thousand miles to see the blood-red crack in the distant eastern sky:
"It is now October of the 30th year of the Empire. The Abyss Rift appeared more than a month earlier than predicted."

El-Erian knew that the appearance of the Abyss Rift today was no coincidence.

The bottomless abyss itself also has its own dimensional will.

—The Will of the Abyss, transcending all gods and symbolizing the chaos at the beginning of creation!
This ethereal will sensed that this was the weakest moment for the Sun Elves, the perfect time to spread chaos and evil, and thus slightly brought forward the timing of the invasion. Elian remembered that in the original history, the Sun Elf King, Larklas, was the primary reason the elven kingdom was able to resist the abyssal tide!

—As a mid-level legendary priest and a chosen one of the Sun Prince, Larklai Sun possesses many divine spells and rituals to subdue demons, as well as authority in the realm of war, which can strengthen the entire elven army.

The Sun Elf King's formidable performance in the face of the demonic tide gave the Sun Elf race more say, completely overwhelming the Moon Elf race and making them the de facto rulers of the entire Elf Royal Court.

Now, the Sun Elves have lost their king and half of their legend…

Where will history lead us?
Composing himself, Elion saw a familiar Sun Elf walking towards him.

Princess Leah.

Good morning, Your Highness Leah.

Elian greeted him, as if it were a routine greeting.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"I would like to go with you to Eldoron in the east, is that alright?" Princess Lia asked, looking at the human spellcasters who were setting up a long-distance teleportation ritual.

“Of course, you are a friend of Eldoron, Your Highness,” Elion replied calmly. “However, the Elven Kingdom is currently facing a crisis, and as a legendary warrior, it might be more appropriate for you to remain in the Elven Kingdom.”

Leah smiled wearily:
"That's why I'm going to Eldoron."

"I've heard that the battle mages of Eldoron have long conducted extensive targeted training with demons as their hypothetical enemy. They are well-versed in demonology and the weaknesses of each type of demon."

"I would like to quickly learn your advanced knowledge and tactics, record them with a recording crystal, and then pass them on to my people. Is that alright?"

What Princess Lia didn't say was that she also carried the mission of "making Eldoran have a last bit of goodwill towards the Sun Elves."

El-Erian smiled: "Of course. Before you leave, is there anything else you need to take care of at the palace?"

“No need. I’m no longer the Crown Prince, just an ordinary member of the royal family. There’s no need to carry such a burden,” Leah said with a relieved smile, a hint of mischief in her tone.

“My brother Elf is the new king of the Sun Elves.”

When this burden was lifted, Leah felt relieved.

"Okay. When we teleport together later, you can come back to Eldoron with us."

Watching Leah walk away, Elion waited beside the makeshift teleportation magic circle, then turned to the people behind him and said:

"Before we leave, let's do a final inventory of our spoils."

Eldoron gained a lot from this battle!
……

PS: There are three more chapters left, which will cover dealing with the loot, wrapping things up, explaining Elian and Ian's conversation last night, and starting several new stories in different directions. The second volume will then come to an end.

Then comes the author's closing remarks.

Volume Three turns our attention to the bottomless abyss, the ninefold hell, the Mind Flayer fleet from the stars, the Outer God forces, and the split within the Elven pantheon…
