Chapter 278 The Demonic Army
Feng Willow has long been a myth in the Anerfa Empire, a household hero. Especially as the world's number one dragon knight. The huge body of the dragon Moril is his symbol.
"Duke Willow is back, the war is about to end, right?" An old man said hopefully.
Even though it was dark at this time, there were still many people living nearby who heard the shouts of the officers and soldiers on the city gate.
Especially near the city gate, there are many taverns, even in the middle of the night, there are still many people drinking here.
"Of course, Duke Willow is the strongest man in the empire. When he doesn't take action, those cultists can still jump for a while. Now that those smashing and making a big fuss have attracted Duke Willow to take action, they are dead." A young man said firmly.
"I heard that Duke Willow is good at using plague. One plague will kill people in the city. Now the battlefield is so close to us. Do you think the plague released by the Duke will spread to the capital?" Someone said worriedly.
"If I had the strength of Duke Willow, I would be able to stand up at the critical moment and sweep away all enemies. I am really a role model for young people of my generation." A young man said with envy.
"You can only think about this dream when you are dreaming. Who is Duke Willow? Can ordinary people compare with him? There has not been such a powerful sequencer in hundreds of years." Someone looked at the young man who was talking and said with ridicule.
"I heard that the Grand Duke Willow was not from a high family. He was just from a small baron family. And the territory of his family was not rich. Later, the Duke Willow traveled across the ocean to the New World and gathered the resources to become a sequencer.
Such heroes are really role models for my generation." The young man said to the people around him with envy and longing.
Although they did not believe in the God of Friendship, at this moment, they burst out with a strong power of faith.
Some people envy, some admire, some worship, and some fear.
Feng Willow's reputation was already great, and it was spread by these people like this, which gave him an epic feeling of a hero's return.
And it's not just these people. Although they are not believers of the God of Friendship, their strong emotions towards Feng Willow also make these people have a strong belief in Feng Willow.
Or, some strong emotions can also be collected in the copper book space and can also be transformed into divine power.
"Duke Willow, His Majesty has ordered that no matter when you arrive, you will be directly invited to the palace." An official who came to greet Feng Willow said respectfully after hearing that Feng Willow had arrived.
"It's so late today, so I'd better not disturb His Majesty's rest. How about reporting to His Majesty tomorrow morning?" Feng Willow thought for a while and said.
"Duke Willow, His Majesty hasn't rested yet at this time. Since the cult launched a counterattack from the Dark Region, His Majesty has been working hard, and coupled with the busy official business, His Majesty has to work until late at night every day." The noble saluted again and said.
Feng Willow had long known that Light VI was a good emperor who worked hard. He didn't know whether he loved the people or not, but he was definitely a diligent emperor.
"Okay, in that case, let's go see His Majesty as soon as possible. So that we can relieve the worries of the empire and His Majesty as soon as possible." Feng Willow said very politely.
Feng Willow was very grateful to Light VI from the bottom of his heart.
"My dear Grand Duke Willow, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you to come back. The empire has reached the point of being in a storm. If the country is not about to collapse, I will not ask you to come back." Light VI stood up from a distance to greet Feng Willow as if he was welcoming an old friend.
"Your Majesty is polite. Even if I didn't take action, the empire would still be one of the four major empires. There is not much I can do." Feng Willow said very politely.
"The current situation is that since those cults retreated to the Underdark, their power has been greatly improved. In just a few years, they already have a Sequencer army that can fight against the Empire.
And the Sequencers trained by these cults are fearless when fighting, far more fearless than the strong men of humans. Therefore, when fighting, the Sequencers on our side will be suppressed by those cult Sequencers." Light VI said.
"What's the situation now?" Feng Willow asked.
"It's very bad. This time we are invaded by the Hell Demon Clan. Their number seems endless. And their strength is not bad either. It's very difficult to deal with." Light VI mentioned those invaders, and his face was full of sorrow.
"Hell Demon Clan? Aren't they believers of the God of Fear?" Feng Willow suddenly realized that something was wrong.
From the cult alliance, he has always known that the invaders are believers of the God of Fear, and that sheep-headed demon Carl is also the leader of the believers of the God of Fear in the world.
"Yes, the hell demon clan. They are divided into many kinds of demons, and obviously they are no longer a certain hell demon king." Light VI said with certainty.
Feng Willow also realized the thorniness of the matter. The previous cults have always been the believers of the God of Fear in the world. Even Carl, who looks like a demon, is just a sequencer who has inherited some kind of demon.
The so-called cults have always been dominated by humans, but now the main body is hell demons, not humans anymore. The difference between the two is huge.
"Could it be that those cultists opened the gate of the abyss from somewhere in the dark area?" Feng Willow speculated.
"That shouldn't be the case. If they opened the gate of the abyss, it would cause a shock to the whole world, and many sequencers would sense it in advance.
And if the gate of the abyss is really opened, the surging hell demons are simply not something that our empire can stop.
Although it is very difficult for us to stop them now, we have indeed blocked the hell demons under the underground passage." Light VI said solemnly.
The affairs of the hell demon clan are recorded in many documents. Since the ancient times, there have been records of the invasion of the hell demon clan.
The hell demon clan lives in the endless abyss. The endless abyss is not a certain abyss in this world, but the name of another world.
However, no matter any gods or their believers, they are hostile to the hell demon clan. They are the enemy of the whole world.
The Hell Demon Clan is so powerful that it can fight against the entire world in its heyday, and there are many demons in Hell that can rival the gods.
That's why Wright VI said that if the gate of the abyss is really opened, their Anerfa Empire can't stop it at all.
"I think they should have summoned some demons from the endless abyss through sacrifice. So although there are many hell demons coming, there is really no particularly powerful existence among them." Wright VI analyzed.
Feng Willow nodded in agreement. If there are no real strong ones among the hell demons, no matter how many demons come, there will be no threat to him.
"Okay, in this case, then I will go to the passage first and deal with the problem there first." Feng Willow said with a relaxed look.
"Duke Willow, it's so late today, why don't you take a rest for a night and go tomorrow." Wright VI said with concern.
"No need, Your Majesty, you called me here so anxiously, isn't it because the matter is urgent? Then go and solve the problem of the underground passage first." Feng Willow said.
"Okay, the situation is indeed urgent. The situation in the underground passage may be breached by the hell demons at any time. Otherwise, I would not be so anxious.
Unlike the other two underground passages, this underground passage is too close to our capital. Once the defense line at the entrance of the passage is breached, the hell demons will threaten the safety of the entire capital." Light VI said solemnly.
Feng Willow did not delay any longer. After leaving the palace, he went straight to the entrance of the underground passage. He had been to that entrance twice and did not need anyone to lead the way.
The entrance of the passage has become a huge military camp, and a huge wall has been built around the entrance of the underground passage, with many steam cannons and steam machine guns arranged on it.
It's just that the walls are now full of corpses, and those corpses are almost filling up the high walls.
Feng Willow realized what Light VI meant by the huge number of demons.
Demons are still pouring out of the underground passage, and the roar of steam machine guns and steam cannons is endless. The battle has never stopped.
Feng Willow noticed that these demons from hell were not very powerful. They were only about 1.5 meters tall, with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks, and two small wings on their backs that could not fly. But they ran very fast.
Now the bodies of the small monsters are almost filling up the high wall.
"Duke Willow, Duke Willow is here." Among the soldiers guarding the underground passage, someone discovered the dragon in the sky.
Although the army of the Anerfa Empire was the slaughtering party at the moment, they were all terrified and saw Feng Willow as if they had seen a savior.
Obviously, watching the wall being filled up by demons bit by bit, their fear was also increasing day by day. The demons emerged from the underground passages at different times. No matter how many they killed, it seemed that they had no effect on the demons under the underground passages.
And with the increase in the number of demon corpses, the demons that emerged later had a place to hide and cover.
The effect of steam machine guns and steam cannons was also weakening, and the efficiency was slowly slowing down.
Many demons can use the corpses to cover and rush to the periphery of the wall, or even jump to the top of the wall and fight with the guards.
This is also what Wright VI said, the blockade may be broken at any time.
Although there are many artillery and machine guns deployed here, the morale of the defenders is getting lower and lower. They can't see the hope of victory. The endless demons like the tide make them afraid.
Feng Willow is happy to see so many demon corpses. His blood sacrifice is the best way to eliminate the corpses. His plague bell has been promoted to a magic weapon, but the plague umbrella and the plague banner are still magic weapons.
"Left-hand secret technique: blood sacrifice!"
Feng Willow took out the plague umbrella and performed the blood sacrifice at the same time. The piles of demon corpses on the ground quickly turned into blood-colored light under the effect of the secret technique and were absorbed by the plague umbrella.
Blood-colored light flashed, and the demon corpses on the ground were rapidly reduced. Soon the land stained with blood was revealed.
However, even the bloodstains that had already penetrated deep into the soil were absorbed by the energy of the blood sacrifice, transformed into blood light, and cast into the plague umbrella.
Even the little monsters that were still pouring out of the underground passages looked at the disappeared corpses in horror and couldn't understand why this was happening.
The bloody light on Feng Weiluo's Wenhuang Umbrella flashed, but in the end he failed to advance. Feng Weiluo took a regretful look at the Wenhuang Umbrella. Sure enough, a magic weapon of the Wenhuang Three Treasures level would require too much energy to be promoted to a magic weapon.
"What are you still standing there for? Kill all those monsters!" The defenders were all attracted by Feng Willow's secret technique. At some point, the roar of the steam cannon stopped. A general among the defenders roared angrily.
Soon, the sounds of steam machine guns and cannons roared again. Groups of little monsters that had just rushed up from the underground passage were roaring, and their bodies were beaten to pieces.
Fon Willow landed in front of a garrison's castle. After Morrill landed, he turned into a human form and followed behind Fon Willow.
"Duke Willow, you are really powerful. You turned the precarious situation around with just one move." The visitor said to Feng Willow respectfully.
This man was wearing a general's uniform. Feng Willow looked familiar to him, but he had never interacted with him before, so he didn't know his name. However, he came out to greet him so warmly, so he couldn't act like he didn't know him, so he could only reciprocate. An awkward yet polite smile.
"Is this the only kind of demon that comes out of the underground passage? They don't seem to be very strong?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Feng Willow simply asked about the battle situation directly.
Speaking of enemies, the general also became serious: "This kind of little devil is indeed relatively low-strength. They should be the cannon fodder troops of the devils in hell. They don't even have the strength of sequence nine, and they are stronger than ordinary people." Not much.
But they were not afraid of death and were so numerous that they used corpses to pile up our wall.
There is also a kind of five-horned demon with several horns on their head. That kind of demon is much more powerful and can cast a powerful fire secret technique, which is more powerful than artillery. Sometimes it hides in These monsters are behind and attack our defending troops. "The general introduced. (End of Chapter)
