Chapter 507: 495 Eve of the Storm
At present, under the efforts of the Scarlet Creator and the Demon Flame Emperor, the demons inhabiting the Land of Red Flames have all yielded to Otto’s rule.
The purpose of Saru’s visit to the Land of Red Flames was simple, to mobilize the demons there to stop the Metal Dragon.
At the same time, he knew very well that if these demons came out of the Land of Red Flames, the Dragon Soaring Empire would become the enemy of all forces on the continent.
Nevertheless, he chose to do so without hesitation.
The reason was simple: even without the intervention of these demons, the Dragon Soaring Empire had already become the enemy of all races and forces on the continent.
The Scarlet Creator and the Demon Flame Emperor had no objection to Saru’s request, and most of the demons were eager to leave the Land of Red Flames and venture out for a change.
As a large number of demons left the Land of Red Flames and joined the battlefield in Lait Territory, the front line was no longer in retreat even with the help of the Metal Dragon.
However, upon discovering the substantial number of demons joining the battlefield, the Metal Dragon’s offensive became more intense, and casualties on both sides were severe.
Throughout the battle, the self-proclaimed righteous Metal Dragon and the innately evil demons were sworn enemies.
Amid such intense fighting, a human prisoner with broken legs was brought to Nolan Forest, where Saru personally welcomed him warmly.
Being experienced in interrogation, Saru soon broke a few more fingers on the prisoner, who already had a pair of broken legs, and his body was covered in wounds as well.
Saru also obtained the information he had wanted.
Those who suddenly appeared at Harvest Bay and launched an attack on Lait Territory were from Freedom Island.
Suddenly, the long-dormant Lord Seaeagle of Freedom Island appeared, claiming to strike against the Dragon Soaring Empire in the name of justice.
Honestly, anyone with even a little understanding of Freedom Island would not believe such a clumsy excuse.
Freedom Island was famous for its den of iniquity, where almost anything could be bought as long as one had money.
Human trafficking and various illegal items were not uncommon on Freedom Island, which was even the main channel for selling elves from Dawn Forest.
But now, this place full of sins had suddenly been whitewashed and even became involved with the Metal Dragon.
And their goal was simple—to kill the Silver Dragon Lord, Otto.
However, the situation had changed now. Unless the demons who had left the Land of Red Flames were eliminated, the Metal Dragons would probably not be willing to leave.
But this would take time since there were not only many demons but also several powerful individuals among them.
Aside from Lait Territory, Dawn Forest was also facing considerable trouble.
The Silver Dragons of the Silver Shine Mountain had finally held their meetings and intervened in the affairs of the elves.
In simple terms, they demanded that the elves and the Dawn Garden stay quietly in Dawn Forest and not run around.
Due to the formidable strength of the Silver Dragon Great Elder Light Arrogance Silver Shine, Elise did not dare to act rashly for the time being, and Catherine, being an undead, also dared not reveal herself.
Even hiding so well, she had no confidence that she could deceive the famous Light Arrogance Silver Shine.
However, over the years, Elise had managed to train a few loyal followers of her own.
When the opportunity arose, an elf loyal to Elise ran towards the direction of the former Eastern Empire with a letter detailing the situation in Dawn Forest.
Half a month later, the news of what had happened in Lait and Dawn Forest was submitted to Otto.
Together with these, some problems concerning Lima Fortress were also presented to Otto’s face.
Since the last failure, Gaz and his men had tried tactically to attack Lima Fortress several times but failed to achieve satisfactory results.
None of these could be considered good news. As he looked at all this and then glanced at the kneeling Gaz.
With a sigh, Otto said, “The walls of Lima Fortress shall be no more, and I will also bring you the undead army from the Dragon Bone Wasteland.
In this case, can you guarantee that you will capture Lima Fortress for me?”
Upon hearing this, Gaz quickly assured, “Your Majesty, I am willing to stake my life on it! Lima Fortress will soon be annexed into the territory of the Dragon Soaring Empire.”
After Gaz went down to prepare, Otto’s expression gradually became somber.
He was well aware that all the events happening now could not be coincidental.
His divine enemies, having failed to take him down personally, now resorted to using other means to deal with him.
“Interesting…”
An icy sneer crossed Otto’s face. The so-called gods were no match for him when they took to the field themselves, but did they really think sending a few underlings would work?
With narrowed eyes, Otto continued to lie on the high platform covered with treasures, and resumed his tedious work.
Large amounts of smoky, light blue energy seeped out of Otto’s body and radiated into the Blackstone Floating City below.
Immediately afterward, Moray, who acted as the intelligent system of the Blackstone Floating City, amplified this energy and spread it to the surrounding area, focusing on Pierce Castle.
For many days, the Blackstone Floating City had remained stationary above Pierce Castle, continuously performing the same action.
As time went on, another half a month passed.
Halfway between Pierce Castle and Lima Fortress, the colossal undead army was about to arrive.
After years of unrestricted growth, the number of undead soldiers had reached a terrifying level.
Standing on the barren land between Pierce Castle and Lima Fortress, one could see countless species of undead: a veritable sea of skeletons and rotting flesh.
Simply having the undead army stationed there meant that there was almost no room for the Dragon Soaring Legion or any other troops to make a stand.
On the other hand, with so many undead creating such a huge commotion, it was impossible for Lima Fortress to remain unaware.
However, at this moment, the commander of Lima Fortress looked at this horrifying scene with remarkable composure, even showing a hint of eagerness.
He had nothing to worry about because not long ago, the teleportation gates inside Lima Fortress had been completed.
The so-called allies were pouring out of them every day, and with no way to clear up some space, Lima Fortress was almost overcrowded.
There was limited space within the fortress, and all the mouths to feed as well.
That was why the commander became so excited when he saw that the other side seemed to be launching another large-scale attack.
For nothing was faster at eliminating surplus populations than war.
