Chapter 545-543: The Blood Plague Returns (Please Subscribe)
The Crimson City wasn't actually completely blocked by the road laid out by the Imperial Guards; there was still about three or four miles between them.

However, when Luo Yi made up her mind to fight, the road construction naturally had to take a slight detour.

In about a day, the asphalt road had been paved all the way to the city.
Then came the clearing of trees and leveling of the land. Tanks rushed to the front lines, their main guns loaded, and magic runes lit up one by one, ready to fire at any moment.

In reality, they were used to guard against vampires resorting to desperate measures.

Behind the tank, the Magic Heavy Truck pulled over field guns and unloaded boxes of shells.

Then the artillerymen quickly adjusted the muzzles, cleaned the breech, loaded the shells, and activated the magic runes, waiting for orders.

Infantry, in small squads, built fortifications, checked ammunition, and were always ready for battle.

Every now and then, when they looked up at the crimson city, their gazes seemed to be tinged with scarlet, and their breathing became increasingly heavy.

A buzzing sound came from the sky, as squadrons of magic-powered fighter jets streaked across the sky, reached a certain position, turned around, and returned.

Higher in the sky, a flock of griffin riders soared and circled, occasionally letting out cries of eagles and roars of lions.

The vampires, a race that can fly, are now too afraid to even take to the air to fight!

It can be said that the entire Crimson City has been completely surrounded, like a turtle in a jar, with no way to escape.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for orders from Roy.

At this moment, in the makeshift command post on the asphalt road, Luo Yi sat calmly with her eyes slightly closed, her breathing suddenly becoming heavy and focused.

[Lion King] was activated, and an invisible wave spread outwards, centered on him, expanding forward and in all directions until it reached its limit, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles.

The Raymond family has a thousand-year history, but no one has ever cultivated the [Lion King] to the level of Loy, whose entire body's arteries and meridians are now enveloped in a special substance.

Now, it has spread to the capillaries.

Although it didn't reach an exaggerated 96000 kilometers, it still covered 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers.

The most direct manifestation of this is that the blood vessels become extremely resilient, with elasticity so great that they resemble rubber bands, allowing blood to flow at an even higher speed.

As a result, the mobilization, gathering, and explosion of battle qi far exceed those of ordinary combatants.

Of course, more importantly, the invisible fluctuations covered an exaggerated area.

Luo Yi knew there was something wrong with this city, but he still dared to attack because he had enough confidence in himself and in the [Lion King].

At this moment, within the area enveloped by the invisible fluctuations, all the warriors felt an overwhelming surge of courage, intertwined with a furious killing intent. Even if they were asked to tear a hole in the sky, it would be a matter of simply giving the order.

Of course, such a large amount of information was a huge burden on Luo Yi's brain, and he simply couldn't process it all.

So, he connected with DeepBlue.

Then, in his field of vision, a pale blue light screen flickered, displaying the entire battlefield like a sand table.

The troops of the Flower Territory all appeared in the field of vision as blue markers.

The entire city of Crimson was covered with countless blood-red dots.

But at this moment, a cold smile appeared on Luo Yi's lips: "Since you want to play, then I'll play along with you!"

With that thought in mind, he had already given the order: "The first phase of the war begins!"

With just a thought, transmitted through invisible waves, it reached the hearts of every Imperial Guard soldier.
Then, everyone seemed to know exactly what to do!
The first to launch the attack were not the ground legions, but the griffin riders in the sky.

They took out their dimensional bags, retrieved cannonballs, infused them with magic, activated them, and then dropped them from the sky.

Driven by inertia, the shells crashed into the city like falling meteorites.

A closer look reveals that they weren't just randomly bombing; their targets were all tall and magnificent buildings.

Clearly, those are all important positions!
Once the first explosion rang out, the roar never stopped, and thick smoke billowed as flames began to spread in all directions.

The incendiary bombs are still very effective!

Of course, in some places, crimson defensive magic rose up, desperately resisting the bombardment of cannonballs and the burning flames.

But this is not a good thing!

Because such an obvious target naturally attracted more concentrated artillery fire.

Each griffin rider channeled their fighting spirit, wielding cannonballs and using the momentum of their dive to launch them, increasing their power.

Even large defensive barriers couldn't withstand the relentless bombardment.

At this moment, some vampires took to the sky, attempting to attack the griffins with blood magic or spells, but they had to get past the fighter jets first.

Don't forget, Roy uses griffins as bombers; the aerial battles are left to the magic-powered fighters.

They flew in squads of three, each armed with two heavy machine guns, creating an aerial barrage capable of tearing apart any bat.

At the same time, the artillery positions on the ground also began to show their power, with the heavy magic cannons firing armor-piercing shells in the first round!
The targets were clearly the city gates and walls. Ever since the advent of the magic cannon, the ancient castles that nobles loved to build and rely on as their foundation had lost their appeal.

Because even the most fortified city will collapse only a matter of time under the bombardment of artillery.

Not to mention, Roy's heavy field guns are among the most powerful of the fifth-generation magic cannons.

The first shot was used to calibrate the position; every subsequent shot was aimed at the city wall.

The feeling was like dozens or even hundreds of meteors crashing into it, with a deafening roar that shattered the bright red rocks into pieces.

With just three rounds of artillery fire, the city wall collapsed completely, and the city gate was blown away and disappeared.

Then, the artillery fire began to extend inward, destroying everything in sight—buildings and enemies—with standard 'creeping barrage'.

street fighting?

I've blown up all your alleys, so what's the point of talking about street fighting?

As for the humans who might be accidentally injured in this process?
Then there's no way!

Because this is war, a fight to the death, with no room for sentimentality.

Loy will never accept the moral blackmail from the vampires.

Moreover, history has taught Loy that the livestock they raise have not received the influence and education of humans.

Without enough time and energy to influence and teach them, they really cannot live the life that ordinary humans should have.

So, if it can liberate them, then let them be liberated!
Therefore, Luo Yi's objective in this battle is quite clear: Crimson City must be destroyed, and as for the humans living there, they should be saved if possible.
There's nothing we can do to save them!
In an instant, fighter jets, griffin riders, and artillery unleashed their full power from the sky and the ground, and Crimson City withstood wave after wave of attacks, proving as fragile as tofu.

The magic tanks only started moving after the entire city had been bombed.

They didn't travel very fast, but their tracks rolled and crushed the ruins of the city walls and streets.
Even if there are still ruins, just crash into them.

Following behind were fully armed infantrymen, some carrying heavy machine guns and others wielding Garand semi-automatic rifles, maintaining standard combat formations as they swept forward.

Tanya the Female Tyrannosaurus, Vincent Ackerman, and Alfonso Zeke, these three division commanders were on the front line of the infantry.

Instead of advancing timidly, they strode forward, each clad in substantial battle armor, carrying heavy machine guns, and covered in bullets.

At this point, Crimson City was in ruins, but it would be impossible to say that all the Dark Race had died out.

Just as a small team was passing through some ruins, the ground trembled slightly, a large hole appeared in a row of collapsed walls, and countless bats flew into the sky.

They circled around and spotted the nearest infantrymen; some of them were covered in a thick, bloody aura, transforming into blood spells as they prepared to cast them.
Some lunged directly at the enemy, their sharp claws flashing through the air, leaving trails of blood.

Of course, the bullets were faster and more deadly. The 'rat-a-tat-tat' sound of gunfire rang out, and the bullets turned into long whips, sweeping through countless vampires and hitting them.

The power of the holy water bomb was beyond what these vampires could withstand; their formidable self-healing abilities were rendered ineffective by the holy water's suppression.

One by one, they fell from mid-air with screams of agony.

But these vampires are just the vanguard; many more vampires will rush out from behind.

And these underground military shelters are not just one or two, but countless throughout the city.

The vampires were well aware of the Royal Guard's firepower, and even more so of the fact that Crimson City couldn't withstand a relentless bombardment.
Therefore, the underground troop shelters they built were their trump card.

Once the Imperial Guard soldiers enter the city and can close the distance, the advantages of their dark race can truly be revealed.

Therefore, at this moment, it wasn't just vampires that emerged from underground.

And there are even more werewolves, trolls, ghouls, cannibals, half-werewolfs, dark elves...

They roared as they burst from the ground, charging towards the Imperial Guard soldiers, the magic tanks, and even the outer artillery positions with a frenzied frenzy.

Of course, that's nothing compared to the terrifying fact that countless human figures are mixed in with them.

They were all bloodshot-eyed, with sharp teeth in their mouths, fingernails like blades, and an aura of madness and bloodlust emanating from them.
They bite anyone they see, and even tried to attack the magic tank with their sharp teeth.

They've been infected with blood plague!
The worst has happened, or rather, this was exactly what Grand Duke Toledo was going to do. He was pushed to the limit, and he has become ruthless.

Almost none of the 300,000 people in Crimson City survived!

If this news gets out, the Vatican will kill him ten or eight times over!
But at this moment, it's Luo Yi who should be in a headache.

However, facing this vast army, a cold smile appeared on Luo Yi's ashen face.

"Damn it, they're going to die eventually!!!"

Then, a voice seemed to echo in the hearts of all the Imperial Guard soldiers: "The second phase of the war, the slaughter, has officially begun!"
