Bronze Dragon: Tyrant's Road to Conquest

Chapter 416: War Maniac
The world of Carlos, as the main world where the growing World Tree is rooted, is constantly expanding in area. There are even special organizations that calculate the area of ​​the world's expansion each year.

However, the expansion of the world's territory is one of the most insignificant changes in the world of Carlos.

This world can no longer be classified as a medium-sized plane. Its biggest and most obvious change is the increasing number of intelligent races.

Not to mention every year, one or two new races are added to the world of Carlos every month. That would be fine, but the key is that each of the new races has extremely strong combat and survival capabilities.

The emergence of these races will almost always result in competition with the original races for living space. Even if the territory they own when they first integrate is sufficient for reproduction and survival, the demand for racial expansion is endless.

Fortunately, after these races were integrated into Carlos, their needs could basically be met under the guidance of the World Tree.

In the initial plane colonization war, and the subsequent salvation war caused by cooperation with Mount Heaven, these races gained more places to reproduce, but the land of these worlds is far inferior to the land of Carlos.

Because this is where the World Tree takes root, it is the real main world, and every inch of land here is precious. Therefore, an increasing number of races are engaging in various open and covert struggles here.

Fortunately, with the suppression of the Bronze Code, no one started a large-scale conflict, let alone a war, but this steadily improving order changed with the invasion of the abyss.

Bang~

The fire was burning fiercely, the smell of sulfur filled the air, and all you could see was blood red. Flames were burning on the collapsed buildings, and the raging fire illuminated the night sky. Inexplicable roars and screams came from the distance, and you could also hear weird laughter full of excitement.

Blood, blood everywhere. The strong smell of blood enveloped the town, almost penetrating every pore. Every breath was like being soaked in blood plasma. The sky seemed to be dyed red with blood, and the moon and stars in the sky were also flashing a strange red light.

"Will...you idiot, why are you so slow to react? You're still sleeping. Hurry up and get up with me, go out and kill the enemy. The merits are already delivered to us."

The father with a full beard broke through the door and appeared in front of him. He was wearing a set of black heavy armor that fit his body perfectly. There were three shocking claw marks on his chest. At this moment, he held a bloody heavy sword with a serrated blade in one hand, brought it to Will's side, threw another serrated sword over, and shouted:

"Get up and fight! Idiot, the free military merits have already rushed to you! What are you doing?"

The young man suddenly stood up from the bed like a spring. He shook his head and dark liquid seeped out from the pores of his skin. It soon enveloped his entire body, forming a set of black armor that was quite similar in style to his father.

"Where did the military exploits come from?"

Will picked up the serrated sword stuck in front of his bed and asked in confusion. At the same time, his expression began to become excited.

"Good things have finally happened to us. The demons from the abyss have invaded our town!"

The burly man explained casually, and then urged impatiently,

"Follow me now, don't dawdle any longer. Those guys have gone crazy killing people. If we are any later, we won't even be able to pick up a coward's head."

"Demon from the Abyss?!"

When he heard about the military exploits, excitement and bloodthirstiness appeared in the young man's eyes.

Just as his father said, this was a military achievement that was right in front of him. If he didn't pick it up, he would probably not be able to sleep for the next few years.

No one knew when it started, but the abyss seemed to be connected to their world, and cracks in space and time that could produce a large number of demons could appear at any time and anywhere without any regularity.

What exactly is going on? What is the root cause? No one is trying to figure it out, and no one cares. All they know is that there are demons to kill and war merits to be won.

fighting!

Military merit!

Young Will followed his father out of the house and rushed towards the burning fire in the distance.

what! ! !
There came a woman's excited roar in the distance. Will was very familiar with the voice because she was the mayor's cook, a fat lady who was a little nagging but very nice to people and would occasionally bring some snacks from the kitchen to the children.

But now, when Will looked in the direction of the voice, he saw a fat lady in heavy armor, holding a big sword as wide as a door panel and more than one person tall, splitting a berserker in half.

This usually amiable lady was using the terrifyingly large knife in her hand to cut off the demon's head and hung it around her waist, lining it up with several other equally hideous heads.

It was while doing this that the aunt let out such a hearty and unrestrained laugh that attracted the attention of the young man Will. Seeing this scene, the young man's heart suddenly tensed up.

How many demons are left for him to kill?

Was it really like his father said, that he got up too late and couldn't even grab a coward?
"Faster..."

Will also began to urge his father impatiently. At this time, the big man who was several steps ahead of his son started to curse. His face was particularly ugly. He said in a deep voice:

"Those guys from the security team are out. They have equipment from the arsenal. If we only have this group of demons, we won't get anything."

Upon hearing this, Will's eyes suddenly became bloodshot. He gripped the serrated sword tightly and ran a little faster. At this time, he finally saw a lone demon, which was a low-level cowardly demon.

At this moment, the ugly face of this lone low-level demon was filled with fear. It had clearly entered the material world, but the scene it encountered was completely inconsistent with what was passed down in the legend.

According to the description in the legend, the creatures in the material world are like lambs when facing them. They can easily torture and kill them, taste their flesh and blood, and tear apart their souls.

But now the situation is completely reversed. These demons attacking the town are like a group of lambs rushing towards a group of lions without knowing whether to live or die.

puff!

The memories ended here. The frightened demon fell into darkness. Will killed the demon with a sword, and then saw a shivering figure hiding behind a pile of straw.

"I'm really lucky."

Even in such a murky night, the young man could see clearly the figure hiding behind the haystack. Its specific appearance was still that of a demon, but its performance was even more terrible.

Unfortunately, before he could make his move, a short figure in the house next door jumped down from the air with an axe in his hand and chopped off the demon's head with clean and neat movements.

"Ron!"

Will recognized the short figure who killed the demon at a glance. It was a boy who was only fourteen years old. He always followed behind the older youths like them.

Snapped!
Will, feeling that his achievements were robbed, walked over, picked up the complacent boy with one hand, slapped him, snatched the axe that was still dripping with blood, and roared:
"You are a little kid, why are you here to join in the fun? Go home right away. This is an adult matter. Come back when you are an adult."

"Why? This is not fair, Will. I am an adult too. I can kill demons. Look, I've already killed one." The boy held in Will's hand struggled desperately. His childish face was full of dissatisfaction.

The sky was dyed red with blood, the ground was covered with demon corpses and the buildings were collapsed and broken. In such a horrifying and harsh environment, the half-grown child had no fear at all and only excitement in his eyes.

Will sighed and had to give a reasonable reason.
"This is just the lowest level demon. There are more powerful demons. You can't deal with them. That's our adult business. Go home and sleep now. Be good and obedient. Don't make trouble with me. I don't have time to play with you now."

"I'm not playing around. I want to kill demons, and I want military merit too."

"Ron, this is the last time I'm going to warn you. If you mess with me again, I'm going to beat you up right now."

"Then I will tell your teacher that you bullied me and stole my military achievements."

Ron said unconvinced.

"Do you really want to fight me?"

Will laughed angrily, but at the same time he was extremely annoyed.

Why are demons so weak?

It was clear in the textbooks that demons were the culprits that destroyed many worlds, but what were the creatures that appeared in front of him? They were not even as good as the ferocious beasts in his daily training classes.

"Will, don't waste time, take him with you. Those powerful demons have been divided up. There should only be some lone low-level demons in the residential area."

His father's voice rang out, and Will had no choice but to let the kid pick up the battle axe and follow him, while he cursed in his mind, blaming the devil for being so useless.

The civilians in the town alone were enough to kill them and put them into collapse. The security team hasn't even been fully deployed yet. If a real legion had come, it would probably have swept through.

The father and son, together with the little devil who temporarily made up the numbers, rushed towards the most lively place in the town with weapons in hand. At this time, there were more and more corpses on the ground. Although they were still mainly demons, there were also sporadic corpses of residents.

In just a distance of three or four hundred meters, Will saw the bodies of some familiar residents, and even some from the militia and the security department. Many people died.

However, in the middle of the bodies of a large number of town residents and town defense forces, there was a giant demon whose body was still burning with flames and emitting terrible power fluctuations even though it was dead.

Balor!
Will recognized it at a glance. This iconic big demon from the abyss, but unfortunately, this terrible demon had been dismembered. His body was torn into pieces, and even his head was split into four pieces. His death was extremely miserable.

"What a bunch of beasts! They don't even know to leave some for others."

Even though they saw the corpses of their own kind and the traces of a great demon, the father and son, and even the teenager who followed them, did not show the slightest fear. Instead, their eyes were filled with regret and unwillingness.

"I wish I had killed him."

Will couldn't imagine how great a military achievement he would get if he could kill a Balrog independently, and how much benefit he could gain from this military achievement.

"No! No, there are still demons there."

A violent explosion sounded, and the flames shooting up into the sky and the raging demonic energy shocked the depressed trio, who quickly ran towards the explosion site.

Dead body
bodies everywhere
When the trio arrived at the battlefield where the townspeople were fighting the demons, familiar faces came into view, and Will's heart was suddenly filled with urgency and uneasiness.

"Chain Lightning!"

"Ice storm!"

"Pyroblast!"

The light of spells continued to shine, and the edge of the town had turned into a battlefield. Those spellcasters who looked unremarkable on weekdays were now waving their staffs wantonly, bombarding the demons that kept pouring out of a crack not far away.

Quasai Demon, Cowardly Demon, Bloodthirsty Demon, Cunning Demon, Violent Demon, Blood Lion Demon...

Some demons that Will knew or didn't know kept coming and attacking the town's defenses, but the corpses covering the ground proved how weak their attack was.

"Will! Follow me."

The sturdy man finally saw the hordes of demons coming and going, and could no longer hold back. When the spell attacks paused for a moment, he called his son, picked up the serrated sword, and strode towards the battlefield.

"coming……"

The young man who stepped onto the battlefield for the first time had no fear. He followed his father's footsteps and launched a charge. As the fire spread, Will soon encountered a demon worthy of a fight.

It was a humanoid demon with flames burning all over its body, and a huge ball of fire appeared when it waved its hand.

Fire Demon

One of the common mid-level demons in the abyss
The information of this demon emerged in his mind, and the young man, full of excitement, swung the sword in his hand and fought with the demon. When he used all he had learned in class to cut off the head of the fire demon, he heard countless wailings echoing in his ears.

The holy light tore open the blood-covered sky and sprinkled on the land covered in blood and fire. Angels wearing armor and holding swords and spears in their hands descended.

"Blood Angels!"

"No!"

"Lord Angel, can you give me some more time?"

Unfortunately, the angel's arrival did not bring cheers from the townspeople, but instead caused sadness to appear on everyone's faces.

Because the Blood Angel flew to the crack in the abyss from which many demons rushed out, healed the crack and forcibly closed this temporary passage leading to the abyss.

"Oh, what bad luck! How could the angel come so quickly? It would be better if it could come a little later."

Looking at the corpse of the Fire Demon at his feet and the angel that had already gone away, Willyu said to himself that he was also dissatisfied.
