Chapter 741: An Intense War

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The vast demon army stretched out behind.

A demon, as ma.s.sive as a bear, with arms as thick as pillars, stood on the head of a giant half-beast demon. Beside him, a demon lieutenant looked on with reverence and awe.

Commander Yasen must be pondering his strategy to defeat the enemy!

Commander Yasen was a trusted general under Lord Balzarna’s command, one of the thousands of sons under Lord Balzarna’s rule, belonging to the n.o.ble lineage of demon kings from a bloodline perspective.

Unlike most others who either possessed powerful physical strength or wielded demonic magic, Yasen had shown exceptional command ability since birth.

With experience and time, his command ability had gained recognition from Lord Balzarna and other demon lords.

Moreover, in a simulated war decades ago, he had defeated a seasoned veteran under the Undead Lord’s command, gaining instant fame throughout the chaotic abyss with his strategies and tactics.

This was the kind of sage the demon race truly needed, not just those brute force warriors with simple minds who only relied on strength!

With this in mind, the lieutenant looked towards the distant islands and sneered.

That Lord of Glory must be utterly frightened seeing their ma.s.sive army, right?

Stretching for dozens of miles on the sea surface, this demon army was only the vanguard, not the entirety of the demon forces.

The main force, at this moment, was thousands of miles away in the rear, advancing slowly and steadily.

But even as the vanguard, the demon army arrayed here numbered up to five hundred thousand, with fifty formations each consisting of ten thousand individuals, positioned on the southern end of the New Moon Islands.

They exuded black mist, which could coalesce into dark clouds that covered the sky!

He truly couldn’t fathom how, under Commander Yasen’s command, this small territory could withstand their advance. It would soon be trampled into dust by them!

As if envisioning that scene, the demon lieutenant felt a sense of excitement.

“Commander Yasen, the cannon fodder units have caught up now. It won’t be long before those foolish humans realize that their bullets and arrows are being wasted on these inferior beings, and feel deep regret!”

Watching the booming frontlines in the distance, Yasen’s eyes were filled with indifference and coldness.

He spoke in an unhurried tone, “Never underestimate any enemy. Being able to easily dispose of a sect’s army shows that this territory still has some strength.”

The demon lieutenant’s eyes s.h.i.+fted, flattering, “Commander, you are absolutely right! The stronger the enemy, the more satisfying it is to defeat them, showcasing your superior command ability!”

Yasen smiled faintly, the indifference in his eyes gradually turning into eagerness.

This time, he had actively requested his father’s permission to become the commander of this vanguard army. His goal wasn’t just to deal with the traitor from his father’s ranks and the Glory Lord who had managed to slip away before.

He wanted those demons who had underestimated him to remember the name Yasen!

To let them know that power was not the sole determinant of the outcome of war; superior command could also crush the enemy!

As he had strongly recommended to his father, it was wiser to refrain from immediate action and instead dispatch multiple reconnaissance teams to gather intelligence. A prudent leader wouldn’t engage in an attack without first obtaining crucial enemy information.

Know thyself, know thy enemy, a hundred battles, a hundred victories.

This territory, which gathered various races, was just the stepping stone for his fame to spread throughout the world.

The territory known as the Crown of the Ocean gathered a diverse mix of races, including humans, lizardmen, merfolk, elves, and even dragons.

What surprised him was that over two months ago, according to intelligence reports, the coastline of this island was nothing but a stretch of flat sandy beaches.

However, now, a wall over ten meters thick seemed to have sprung up, spanning the entire coastline of the island.

If it hadn’t been confirmed multiple times, he would have thought the demons scouting had provided false intelligence, as this wall had been built within two to three months.

With this wall and numerous defense facilities, the difficulty of their attack would increase exponentially.

This siege would not be easy.

How to break through this territory neatly and cleanly before his father led the army here, within the limited time?

Yasen pondered.

“Lord Ji Chen, these are all low-tier demon breeds deliberately released to consume our bullets and arrows.”

Lainekel looked at the distant demon overseers, wielding long whips to drive numerous low-level demons rus.h.i.+ng forward, speaking with certainty.

“This is the usual demon fighting style. Even in conflicts and battles between demon lords in the chaotic abyss, they usually send out a large number of cannon fodder to consume the enemy’s energy before deploying elite troops to decide the outcome of the war.

But these cannon fodders are not just rus.h.i.+ng forward blindly; they are advancing in a certain formation, dispersing their attack to reduce the lethality of our artillery fire, requiring more firepower to deal with them.” Lainekel’s face carried some solemnity. “This demon army must have a shrewd commander.”

Ji Chen frowned slightly. “Is it Balzarna?”

Lainekel shook his head. “It’s unlikely. If it were Balzarna commanding, he would directly dispatch high-level forces to completely suppress us, then take the opportunity to let the demon army attack the positions and cities.”
