This camp didn’t even have Heavenly Demons. How could these demon beasts withstand or endure the powerful attacks of the Eternal Beings?
In an instant, the entire Demon Clan camp turned into a hellscape.
Blood flowed like rivers!
The barrage of attacks unleashed by the Eternal Beings illuminated the surrounding hundred miles, turning night into day.
In the distance, Commander Fei of Huangyang Pass was leading a large number of empire soldiers toward the camp.
From afar, they saw the radiant light soaring from the Demon Clan camp and heard the earth-shattering explosions.
“Haha!”
“Those demon beast scoundrels are getting what they deserve!”
Commander Fei laughed heartily as he led the empire army forward.
The countless empire soldiers behind him were equally thrilled, shouting excitedly as they charged ahead.
…
At the Demon Clan camp, after this wave of attacks, the entire camp soon fell into dead silence.
Countless demon beast corpses littered the ground.
“Everyone, five thousand miles ahead is a county city currently occupied by the Demon Clan. Let’s keep pushing forward, reclaim the county city, and continue advancing!” Emperor Huoyun’s voice boomed.
“Good. Let’s keep killing! Leave this battlefield to the empire army behind us to handle,” Palace Master Mo said loudly.
With that, the Human Clan and Dragon Clan allies swiftly charged forward.
The battle just now had been a foregone conclusion, merely sounding the horn for the counterattack.
The county city ahead was likewise just a minor objective.
…
On the other side, at the edge of the Tianqian Empire in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the Demon Lord was leading the Heavenly Demons, lying in wait, ready to engage at the first sign of activity.
According to their intelligence, the Eternal Beings and Dragon Clan reinforcements were supposed to act tonight.
Yet, the Tianqian Empire remained eerily calm.
“Bad news! Demon Commander, Demon Lord!”
A demon beast rushed over, looking extremely anxious.
“What is it?” The Demon Commander frowned.
The Demon Lord, meanwhile, remained seated nearby, eyes closed, resting.
“The Huoyun… Huoyun Empire! The fighting has started! It’s started!” the demon beast stammered in panic.
“What exactly is going on?” The Demon Commander stood up abruptly, a sense of foreboding rising within.
“The Human Clan’s Eternal Beings have launched a counterattack in the Huoyun Empire, sweeping through with unstoppable force. The territories and cities we captured are being retaken one after another, and our Demon Clan warriors in the Huoyun Empire are suffering heavy losses!” the demon beast said urgently.
“What? The Huoyun Empire!” The Demon Commander’s eyes widened.
According to their reliable intelligence, weren’t the humans supposed to attack the Tianqian Empire tonight?
They had even concentrated their Heavenly Demons here.
If the humans attacked the Tianqian Empire, they could reach the battlefield in the shortest time.
Hearing this intelligence, the Demon Lord suddenly opened his eyes, his face surging with blazing anger.
“Demon Commander, how could your intelligence be so gravely flawed!” the Demon Lord roared, his cold, hoarse voice sending chills down the spine.
The Demon Lord’s fury made the surrounding air feel like an icy cavern, causing the nearby Heavenly Demons to tremble.
“Demon Lord, I… I… The intelligence I received clearly stated they were gathering toward the Tianqian Empire. This information was confirmed multiple times,” the Demon Commander said, sweating profusely, equally baffled.
He continued, “Could it be that the humans suddenly changed their plans? But we received no word of any such change.”
At that moment, a Heavenly Demon stepped forward with a suggestion. “Demon Lord, it seems too late to rush to the Huoyun Empire now. Since the Human Clan’s Eternal Beings are all gathered there, and we’re in the Tianqian Empire, why not take advantage? We could slaughter the entire Tianqian Empire. With no Eternal Beings defending it, we could wipe out every human, turning the Tianqian Empire into a dead land!”
“What use is killing ordinary humans in the Tianqian Empire? If we don’t stop them in the Huoyun Empire, they’ll keep pushing forward, unstoppable. If we choose to slaughter the Tianqian Empire, by the time we’re done, they’ll have already stormed the Demon Beast Mountain Range and razed our home!” the Demon Lord said coldly.
After all, if they did that, the Demon Beast Mountain Range would be left without Heavenly Demons to defend it.
“This…” The Heavenly Demon who made the suggestion fell silent, at a loss for words.
“Enough talk. Head to the Huoyun Empire immediately!” the Demon Lord ordered.
…
Meanwhile, in the Huoyun Empire, the Human Clan’s Eternal Beings and the Dragon Clan allies advanced together, crushing all opposition with overwhelming force!
The territories and cities the Demon Clan had captured in the Huoyun Empire were being retaken one by one.
Wherever the allied forces went, they dominated completely. The demon beast armies, lacking Heavenly Demons, stood no chance.
After reclaiming several county cities, towns, and territories, the demon beasts in the remaining cities received news of the Eternal Beings’ advance. They abandoned their cities and fled toward the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Joking aside, how could they dare resist? It would be suicide.
All they could do was retreat and wait for support from the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Demons.
Under these circumstances, the Human Clan’s Eternal Beings and the Dragon Clan allies met no resistance.
Outside the capital city of Dongyuan Prefecture.
At this moment, the Human Clan’s Eternal Beings and Dragon Clan allies had arrived outside the city.
The entire Dongyuan Prefecture, including its capital city, had previously fallen to the Demon Clan.
The city’s residents had long evacuated, with only a few who refused to leave perishing when the Demon Clan attacked.
Afterward, the capital city became a key stronghold for the Demon Clan in the Huoyun Empire.
“Hmm? The city is empty,” Vice Palace Master Yao said, looking at the city ahead.
“It seems the demon beasts in Dongyuan Prefecture’s capital city have fled upon hearing our approach,” Emperor Huoyun said.
They had already taken over several such empty cities, with the demon beasts having escaped.
“Let’s keep moving forward. Leave this place to the empire army behind us to take over,” Palace Master Mo said.
“Good!”
With that, they continued charging forward.
Along the way, the Eternal Beings and Dragon Clan allies faced no obstacles. Even when they encountered fleeing demon beast groups, they crushed them effortlessly.
At dawn, the sun began to rise slowly, casting a ray of sunlight across the land, painting the horizon fiery red.
By now, the Eternal Beings and Dragon Clan allies had reached the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
