Chapter 580, Part 578: The Castle Falls, Another Battle with the Prince (Part 2)

Even if this is a bottomless abyss, it still has to conform to some basic rules. For example, there is a limit to the number of demons that an area can hold.

There were too many of them, not even enough food for them, so they had to kill each other and constantly eliminate one another.

With too few soul fragments, the tributaries of the River Styx naturally distributed them, giving birth to more demonic worms.

Furthermore, with ample food and a reduced bloodlust, the demons naturally grow stronger, thus increasing their numbers.

Of course, it's not just low- and mid-level demons; higher-level demon lords and even true demon lords all require a territory to sustain them.

Over three days, Luo Yi waged a tough defensive counterattack, using the Abyss Frontier War Base to deplete the forces under the command of the Vampire Prince.

Although a considerable price was paid, the endless bombardment resulted in ten or even a hundred times more demons dying.

Even now, the number of demons is still large, and although most of the remaining ones are mid- to high-level demons, the overwhelming feeling is gone.

Even after the deaths of five lesser demon lords, these mid- to high-ranking demons have become hesitant and fearful.

For three days, the vampire prince was here, without even a chance to contact other demon lords, let alone call for reinforcements.

Therefore, this is the best time to retaliate.

Therefore, Luo Yi did not hesitate to issue the order to take the initiative.

The third-generation magic tank was the first to start, its overlocked tracks ignoring trenches and fortifications, and charged straight out after reaching full power.

Under Deep Blue's command, they quickly formed a standard wedge formation.

The first row consisted of thirty tanks, spaced 200 meters apart, spread out over a distance of about five or six kilometers, resembling a battlefield.

The second row is staggered by about 20 meters, the third row is staggered in turn, and so on, until the depth is five kilometers.

In this way, there will be no obstruction or even analysis of the firing range between tanks, allowing the tanks to maximize the effect of their massed assault.

They brutally smashed through the piles of demon corpses, crushing scorched earth and flesh, like a torrent of steel, rushing straight ahead.

Even the abyssal demons felt a distinct fear at this moment, but urged on by the demon overseer, they had no choice but to launch an attack.

Some demons began to unleash magic, fire and ice, earth spikes and raging winds, in many different forms.

Some used various negative spells, such as fear spells, shock spells, weakness spells, aging spells, and all sorts of curse spells, like a scattered rainstorm.

Others directly activate blink, brandish heavy weapons, and attempt close-range attacks.

However, they were met with a barrage of main gun fire as the car sped along at high speed.

Under Deep Blue's precise control, the accuracy of salvo firing in motion is beyond imagination.

One after another, cannonballs were fired, carrying terrifying kinetic energy as they approached the demon. After exploding in mid-air, countless fragments shot out, creating plumes of blood mist.

Of course, demons are demons. They can fly, hide in the shadows, and turn into nothingness. They use all sorts of methods and have a high chance of dodging cannonballs.

Then they would have to face a sixty-ton steel monster, crashing at seventy miles per hour, with such enormous kinetic energy that it could crush any flesh and blood.

And that doesn't even mention the two high-speed firing heavy machine guns, which were like two whips of death, wielding them to reap lives.

And these demons' attacks, especially those that are less efficient, don't even manage to hit the tanks.

Alternatively, with both magic shields fully activated, the damage can be completely ignored.

Even if a mind-based spell is cast, it must first overcome the Lion King's boundless courage before it can have any effect.

Of course, the king of land warfare can only deal with enemies on land. If demons fly into the sky, they won't have many effective means of attack.

At this moment, the second-generation fighter jets also passed through the space tunnel and entered the aerial battlefield.

Although it's only a generation apart, the difference between the two is incomparable. The terrifying air blasts caused by hypersonic flight alone have extremely strong destructive power.

Not to mention that with the magic shield, the mech is no longer fragile and can perform some extraordinary aerial combat techniques.

I don’t know when it started, but these pilots have become more extreme and crazy than the soldiers.

If they can't kill the enemy with machine guns and close-range air-to-air missiles, they'll choose to fly at supersonic speeds and then maneuver to change course...

If the speed is fast enough, the machine itself is the sharpest sword, capable of cutting most flying demons to pieces.

The fighter jets themselves, protected by magic, have a high chance of surviving.

This is risking one's life, but for the warriors of Flower Territory, to die heroically is an honor.

Also because fighter jets are faster, they advance even more fiercely than the third-generation king of land warfare, the tank!

After these two groups pass, it will be the turn of the Flower Leader's assault team!

They've upgraded their weaponry; they're called infantry, but they're no longer just on foot.

The new heavy troop transport vehicles carry them, making them the final reapers on the battlefield.

The fully armed elite soldiers, who trained the hardest, could only do some follow-up shooting work, which made many soldiers feel frustrated.

But the veterans would tell them that the flowers were meant to train them so that they could achieve great things, not to die in vain on the battlefield.

Therefore, they should be brave when it's their turn; but when they don't need to risk their lives, they must learn to be cautious.

Of course, although the demon legion was retreating, it wasn't that they had absolutely no chance to retaliate!

The demon overseers launched counterattack after counterattack, attempting to halt the Royal Guard's advance.

As for the effects, they certainly had some. The most amazing one was when four lesser demon lords cast a spell together to summon the forbidden black magic—the Calamity of the Dead.

The souls of demons who died in battle were temporarily summoned, transformed into ghosts, and began to wreak havoc on the battlefield.

They attempted to breach the magical shield, enter the tank, and kill the driver.

Alternatively, low-temperature freezing spells could be used to freeze the fragile parts inside the tank, causing it to malfunction and lose its mobility.

This single spell disabled nearly a third of the tanks and killed many tank crew members.

Deep Blue reacted extremely quickly, ordering the artillery behind to fire tracer rounds. The resulting bursts of holy light hung in the air, finally driving away the undead.

There's no way around it; this isn't the prime material plane, and too many demons have died in a short period of time, which is why this 'Cataclysmic Calamity of the Dead' is performing beyond its usual limits.

However, for every highly threatening counterattack, there is also a comical one.

For example, the demon overseers actually wanted to learn from the Flower Territory's tactics, and they gathered a large number of spellcasting demons at the front line.
Then, under unified command, they chanted incantations, cast spells, and launched ranged attacks.

Clearly, this was an attempt to emulate the artillery regiment's tactics of indiscriminate bombardment and ground-washing, but they obviously hadn't taken the speed of tanks into account.

The various spells rained down, only creating ripples on the tank's shield before rushing past, causing almost no damage.

Furthermore, due to the different demons casting the spells, their varying levels of magical skill, and the different amounts of mana available, the power and range of spell-like abilities can differ greatly.

What was originally intended as a concentrated attack turned into a chaotic mess and a laughing stock.

Therefore, there are reasons why mage towers are accustomed to forming magic circles to summon more powerful magic, rather than bombarding the enemy with magic.

However, the demon's ridiculous plan gave Deep Blue an opportunity.

Under his command, a group of land warriors went full speed ahead, bypassing the magical damage, and charged forward, bombarding the enemy with their main cannons, crushing a large number of demons.

However, the most dangerous time was when the enemy was at the gates of the city, facing the vampire prince's castle directly.

The power drawn from the magma underground, with the assistance of divine power, erected a massive magical shield.

Under the crimson light, even rounds of tank main gun bombardment seemed to have no effect.

At that moment, the vampire prince revealed his fangs.

When the Royal Guard chooses to attack, the Abyss Frontline War Base will be at its most vulnerable.

He gathered the remaining four lesser demon lords, along with a large number of mid- to high-ranking demons skilled in flight and 'anywhere door' magic, to launch a long-range attack and implement a decapitation tactic.

The goal is still the spatial passage!

It must be said that these demon lords seemed quite helpless in the face of the magic legion and the steel behemoth.

Because of their unfamiliarity with the situation, they couldn't even come up with any effective countermeasures, and many of their counterattacks appeared incredibly naive.

However, thousands of years of war experience allowed Him to quickly grasp the weaknesses of the human race.

However, what he could think of, Luo Yi naturally thought of as well: just as this group of demons descended from the sky, they faced a new wave of bombardment from the King of Land Warfare.

Although these were all new recruits, lacking training and combat experience, this did not prevent them from coordinating with the artillery positions and continuing the previous artillery bombardment tactics.

As for the four lesser demon lords, they were surrounded by far more legendary figures than they were, and couldn't even access the spatial portal.

It's worth mentioning that even so, Luo Yi still felt unsafe.

Therefore, he also placed a team of church clergy around the space passage, forming the Twelve Radiant Suns Formation.

Although it cannot compare to the legendary church bathed in holy light, the radiance that guides them shines upon this abyss, causing extremely terrible damage to demons.

This final counterattack was ultimately thwarted.

Those lesser demon lords, whose true names had been discovered by the vampire prince, could only fight to the death.

However, those mid- to high-ranking demons were already terrified.

After being driven back, they basically scattered and fled to other demon territories. In the bottomless abyss, danger is everywhere, and changing demon territories is also very dangerous.

Who knows, on the way, we might encounter some deadly and powerful being and be devoured.

Therefore, staying in familiar environments is one of the rules for demons to survive.

However, at this moment, they were truly afraid of the battlefield and would rather take risks than face even more terrifying steel monsters here.

In the distance, Luo Yi finally withdrew her gaze, a huge smile spreading across her lips as she looked at the vampire prince, whose face was icy cold.

"Caesar, Caesar, Lord of the Abyss, Prince of the Vampires, do you still remember what you said when you left the demiplane?"

"You're threatening me?! How dare you threaten me?!"

"Now that I'm here, delivered myself to your doorstep, do you dare to fight me with all your might?"

"This battle will be fought to the death!"

"A fight to the death!!! A fight to the death!!! A fight to the death!!!"

Luo Yi's voice was deafening, igniting not only her own fighting spirit but also the emotions of the entire Imperial Guard.

Their cheers flowed like a river, like golden threads of faith, into Loy's body.

[Lion King] Maintains his ultimate state, collecting all faith and then filling it into various sacred skills.

At this moment, Luo Yi didn't care about the vampire prince's opinion at all, nor did she have the mind to listen to his nonsense. Instead, she patted her ferocious dragon horns and charged forward amidst the roars of dragons.

The divine sword was wielded, and countless dimensional slashes crisscrossed, seemingly shattering the void itself.

The vampire prince no longer had the right to avoid battle. He gathered his crimson divine power and, with a casual gesture, instantly cast a spell that anchored space.

The space rippled, and the dimensional slash completely subsided.

Then, his massive body lunged forward, creating layers of spatial folds, and in an instant, he was in front of Luo Yi.
With a swing of its claws, divine power spread outwards. Under the five claw marks, the elements were compressed, exploded, and spread outwards, forming a mushroom cloud that rose into the sky.

The massive bodies of Loy and the ancient red dragon seemed to shatter completely under the pressure of the elements.

However, no blood or flesh scattered, only figures appeared as time left its mark.

It can be clearly seen that the ancient red dragon flapped its wings and disappeared from the spot with Luo Yi.

When it reappears, it will be above the head of the vampire prince.

Then, Luo Yi raised the divine weapon high, condensed his battle aura, and actually revealed a Heavenly Holy Hammer burning with holy flames.

His muscles rippled and converged in his arms, growing thicker and thicker, gathering unparalleled power, and then slammed down on his head!
The vampire prince reacted quickly, spreading his divine power to lengthen the space, trying to make Luo Yi's hammer strike empty space.

His plan was achieved; however, Loy struck the void directly, shattering the space with a deafening boom.

The spreading cracks resembled a spider web; even a demigod's body couldn't withstand the shattering of space, leaving streaks of blood.

However, the vampire prince was not to be trifled with. Even so, with the flapping of his two bat wings, streaks of crimson light slashed at the red dragon.

Scales shattered, dragon blood splattered, and the ancient red dragon Virgil let out a miserable howl, yet he still opened his mouth, spitting his primordial dragon breath directly onto the vampire prince.

With a single charge, the vampire prince, relying on his greater weight, managed to send the ancient red dragon flying.

However, before parting ways, Luo Yi used a divine artifact to condense a holy light spear, and then threw it with all her might.

boom!
The next second, the two combatants were completely separated.

The ancient red dragon's abdomen was covered in wounds, and its wings were torn open with various cuts. Hot dragon blood dripped down, burning deep, bottomless holes in the earth!
However, Luo Yi's Divine Dragon Flame Battle Qi spread and sealed the wound, thus stopping the bleeding.

Of course, Luo Yi was also suffering. He not only had to bear the burden of the injury, but also felt a long-lost sense of emptiness.

Even with the angelic halo, this is the abyss, and due to environmental limitations, it cannot provide the abundant divine power that the prime material plane does.

His attacks just now, though seemingly ordinary, were actually the pinnacle of his battle aura and holy techniques.

However, the vampire prince was not in much better shape at this time!
Half of his divine body was shattered by the shock, his bat wings were burned by dragon flames, and a holy spear was stuck in his chest.

A surge of divine power caused a beam of light to descend, rapidly healing the injuries with remarkable effectiveness, restoring the patient to full health in an instant.

However, the holy light spear was like a thorn stuck there, forcing the vampire prince to reach out and pull it out.

The battle aura was worn away by the divine power, revealing the true form of the divine artifact, the rapier, within. The vampire prince looked down at it, his expression changed drastically, and he almost instinctively discarded it.

The light-elemental artifacts have a strong restraining effect on an abyss lord like Him, an evil demigod; He is even unwilling to be tainted by the aura of the rapier.

Luo Yi raised her hand and clenched it, causing space to distort as she slowly drew out the divine rapier.

The two locked eyes, sparks flying between them, and the void creaked as their spirits collided.

Without any unnecessary words, the two leaped into the air, distorting space and clashing once more.

To be honest, this was the fairest battle for both sides, with no one holding back and both able to fully display their abilities.

The area where they fought had been distorted into a spatial black hole.

There was no sound, and the movements were unclear. All that could be seen by ordinary people was two towering shadows colliding, separating, and then colliding again...

However, the aftershocks from the outside world grew stronger, and the impact of the elements was like a tsunami, constantly spreading outwards.

The space rippled in circles, seemingly without end.

The distance between them as they fought increased, as if they wanted to break through the limitations of the plane and fight their way into the astral plane.

Below, the Imperial Guards of the Flower Territory were also busy.

Three generations of magical tanks lined up side by side, firing all sorts of high-powered armor-piercing rounds without restraint, all in an effort to destroy the vampire prince's castle.

Of course, this alone is not enough.

At the command of interim commander Alfonso Zeke, heavy field artillery was brought out and repositioned outside the castle.

When they finished, it was another day later, but it was clear that the artillery was the expert when it came to heavy bombardment.

Under the guidance of the legendary mage Venus, they even determined the flow of magic in the castle's magic circle and devised a strategy of firing a shot from the east and concentrating fire from the west.

Simply put, to ensure its defensive capabilities, the castle's magic circle directs more magic power towards areas that are more vulnerable to attack.

By doing this, even if some areas reach their limit, the shield can still be maintained due to the increased magical support.

However, there is a downside to this situation: the gathering and flow of magic takes time.

Therefore, if this round attacks the east, causing magic to converge there, the protective power of the shield on the west will be reduced.

If we attack the west at this point, and the attack exceeds the limit, and the magic power doesn't flow back in time, then the defensive magic array will break.

Of course, if it doesn't break, then repeat the previous steps a few more times, and it will be effective.

This tactic threw the vampire castle into a panic.

The demons either fled or scattered, but the Abyss Blood Clan couldn't escape!

They launched several attacks in an attempt to disrupt the plan, but were ultimately thwarted each time.

Thus, the bombardment continued for two whole days and two nights without stopping, until finally, cracks appeared all over the large magic circle above the castle.

a moment,
With a loud bang, the shield shattered, and countless Abyss Blood Clan members scattered and fled.

They were then bombarded by artillery shells, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

At that moment, a great sun fell from the sky.

With a loud bang, it crashed onto the ground, even creating an earthquake that resembled ripples on water.

When the smoke cleared, the massive body of the ancient red dragon could be seen embedded in the deep pit, its entire body covered in wounds.
The ferocious dragon head tried to lift itself, but after several attempts, it went limp again.

Luo Yi was covered in injuries and was coughing up large amounts of blood.

Visible to the naked eye, there were fragments of internal organs in the blood.

However, relying on his unwavering perseverance, he stood up shakily, his divine weapon pointing diagonally at the sky.

At this moment, the clouds and mist dispersed in the sky, revealing a massive, island-like, blood-red figure suspended in the air.

Even more astonishingly, the figure was split in two, and fierce flames burned at the wound, lingering there.

The next second, the enormous figure disintegrated, with some scattered fragments, but many also coalesced into a blood-red light, struggling to piece together the figure of the vampire prince.

Then, the figure, trailing a trail of blood, disappeared into the distance.

Loy was displeased and roared, "Caesar, Caesar, don't run away!"

"I told you, we're going to fight to the death!"

As a result, the crimson figure fled even faster, even abandoning much of the bloody light.

And this blood-red light scattered, all of it becoming crystallized divine power!

Although this battle did not kill the vampire prince and abyss lord, there is no doubt that Luo Yi won!
