Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Reinforcements, please come quickly!

After all, the energy of this blockade line is limited, and it must be replenished with sufficient energy in order for the defensive position to continue to exert such great power.

Watching the bursts of dense fog being absorbed back into the abyss passage, the vice-commander of the Ironblood Legion felt a headache coming on. The biggest problem plaguing the Blood God Legion was that they simply couldn't truly destroy these abyssal creatures.

If they could truly be destroyed, the wars of over six thousand years, even if it was just grinding away, would have suppressed and reduced their overall strength.

Just then, in the distance, squads of Blood God Legion soldiers appeared, along with various machines. They quickly took up their posts, replaced integrated batteries, replenished energy, and rapidly occupied various defensive positions around the passage. More soul-guided cannons were set up, more soldiers joined in, and mechs surrounded the main exit of the abyss passage, forming a solemn array, ready to be deployed into battle at any time.

"How is it?" A massive mech descended from the sky and landed beside the Ironblood Squad's vice-captain.

Seeing this, the deputy commander finally breathed a sigh of relief, "We've temporarily held them off, but our brothers have probably fallen in numbers exceeding four battalions."

"What?" Ma Shan was taken aback. The sudden alarm made him realize immediately that the Abyss Tide had likely appeared, because only the Abyss Tide could bring such a loud alarm. But he never expected it to be this serious. The number of warriors who had died in the past hundred years combined was about this many.

He knew that every Blood God Legion warrior was an absolute elite, and the loss of so many was heartbreaking. Moreover, he knew very well that at this moment, the main force guarding the passage was his Iron Blood Legion!

"Damn it!" Ma Shan roared.

The deputy commander knew this man's temperament. "Commander, now is not the time to rush. Something is wrong, very wrong. For some reason, these abyssal creatures came out from the sealed main passage. This has never happened in thousands of years. That's why so many brothers were caught off guard and exploded. Let's hold the exit and wait for the legion commander and the Blood Gods of the Blood God Camp to arrive."

Ma Shan's breathing was visibly unstable. Although he was usually short-tempered, he was genuinely good to his men and deeply loved by the Iron Blood Squad. Now, hearing that so many had died—perhaps a third of the Iron Blood Squad's manpower had been lost—how could he possibly remain calm?

"I'll fight them to the death!" Ma Shan raised his hand and took off the spiked club from his back. The deputy commander could hardly stop him.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. It was a human, not wearing a mecha. One of his hands suddenly pressed down on Ma Shan's shoulder, causing Ma Shan's huge black mecha to stop instantly, preventing it from rushing out.

"Ma Shan, you brat, calm down. This isn't the time for you to go crazy. Something's definitely wrong. Go and take charge of your men." The deep voice was like a spell, instantly calming the impulsive Ma Shan down.

"Commander, you must avenge our brothers!" Ma Shan's voice trembled slightly, not from sadness, but from extreme anger.

"Okay." Zhang Huanyun patted Ma Shan's mecha. "Go and command your brothers. There will be times when you'll fight tooth and nail."

"Yes, sir!" Ma Shan shouted and led his deputy commander away.

The situation was extremely dire, because they had absolutely no idea why these abyssal creatures were emerging from the main passage—that was the most crucial question. If this problem wasn't solved, more and more abyssal creatures would continuously pour out of the main passage. No matter how much energy they had stored, it would eventually run out.

Abyssal creatures never truly die; their energy is inexhaustible, and so is the supply of abyssal creatures.

Zhang Huanyun was confident that he could seal off the defensive positions and prevent the abyssal creatures from breaking out. With the legion's energy reserves, they could hold out for three months without any problem. But what about after three months?

Moreover, this attack by the abyssal creatures is completely different from previous ones. The biggest difference is that this time, a king has appeared among the abyssal creatures. The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor is certainly ranked low among the 108 emperors of the abyss, but the problem is that it appeared in its true form. This would have been impossible in those branch passages.

Six thousand years ago, humans set up a seal to prevent the arrival of the 108 Emperors of the Abyss. As long as these kings do not appear, the Blood God Legion and Blood God Camp are strong enough to easily resist them.

However, with the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor appearing now, will even more powerful Abyss Kings emerge later? They have no idea just how powerful these Abyss Kings will be.

The blockade lines of soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons are not that threatening to powerful individuals whose cultivation has reached a certain level.

"Should we request support from the Federation? Should we ask the Spirit Pagoda and the Temple of War to send people?" Xue Yi asked Zhang Huanyun.

Zhang Huanyun said in a deep voice, "The distress signal has been sent. But it won't be quick. Even the people from the Temple of War will need ten days to arrive. Moreover, the problem now is that we don't know what's wrong with the seal. Even if the people from the Temple of War come, we can only outlast the abyssal creatures, which is our biggest disadvantage."

Xue Yi also frowned. There were too many abyssal creatures below, and no one knew how many abyssal kings would appear in the war to come. If they couldn't go deeper, they wouldn't be able to see what kind of problems had occurred in the seal inside the passage, or how to solve the problem.

The crisis came so suddenly that it caught them completely off guard.

"Let's wait and see if any other Abyss Kings appear besides the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor. If not, we need to try to scout out the situation inside," Xue Yi said in a deep voice. And this scouting work would undoubtedly fall to him.

Zhang Huanyun nodded. "You guys rest first. I'll call you if I need you."

"Alright!" Xue Yi didn't say anything more. He retreated to the outer edge of the passage and gathered with several other Blood Gods from the Blood God Camp. They sat cross-legged there and waited quietly.

The Blood God Camp's years of training in the Abyss Passage have been perfectly demonstrated, making it impossible for these abyssal creatures to break out anytime soon.

More than 20,000 soldiers of the Blood God Legion had arrived nearby, ready to relieve their comrades at any time. Those not engaged in combat were meditating. (End of Chapter)
