Chapter 820: The Battle Begins (II) (1/2)
“Gaap, Stolas, Phenex, head into battle and support the army. Even if you can’t take the Southeastern Fort, I want you to create a breach.”
“Yes.” Three demon gods appeared from behind. After greeting Samigina politely, they shot off three streaks of light. The demon army set off once more.
Whether it was quality or quantity, the demon army this time had visibly improved. They amounted to over a hundred thousand and rushed towards Southeastern Fort once again, over land and in air.
The Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons quickly charged forward under the protection of the huge Blazing Lions along the ground, while the Birdy Demons that had been repelled earlier regrouped with the Dual Headed Demon Eagles to form a stronger attack in the air. Most importantly, over a dozen Demon Carriers appeared among them. Not only were the Demon Carriers that fastest aerial magic troops among the demons, they could also incapacitate their opponents. Their disgusting mucus could strike fear into the heart of any human, regardless of vocation.
Moreover, the army was lead by demon gods this time. It was completely different from the probing attacks of before.
Looking at the terrifying demon army in the distance, Qiu Yonghao could not help but change in expression. If it was in the past, a demon army like this could make the Southeastern Fort suffer heavy losses, or even come close to falling.
The demon gods all varied in size and shape, but rarely did they ever appear on the battlefield. As a result, even as the previous temple head of the Warrior Temple, Qiu Yonghao was unable to tell the strength of these three demon gods. However, he could tell from the three shining demon god pillars in the distance that these demon gods definitely did not rank toward the bottom.
“Don’t worry, temple head Qiu. I know these three demon gods,” Ye Sanmi said steadily from beside Qiu Yonghao.
All of the Eternal Heroes currently wore a large cloak, which covered their bodies.
Listening to Ye Sanmi’s calm voice, Qiu Yonghao could not help but become rather ashamed. Before the powerful demons, he was still unable to remain at ease!
“That’s the thirty-third demon god, Gaap, the thirty-sixth demon god, Stolas and the thirty-seventh demon god, Phenex. These three specialise in support and magic, so they can play quite a large role on the battlefield. Their individual battle prowess is so-so.”
Ye Sanmi might have slumbered for several thousand years, but his understanding of the demon gods was still better than the important members of the Warrior Temple. Aside from the Demon God Emperor, the names of all the demon gods would never change. In other words, no matter which generation of Moon Demon God it was, they would all be Vassago, while the Star Demon Gods would all be called Vassago. This was why he could name the three demon gods.
Mentioning their names, information regarding these three demon gods immediately flashed through Qiu Yonghao’s head. He said sternly, “Gaap’s known as the Arcane Demon God. He’s skilled in arcane magic and is skilled in large scale support. Among the seventy-two demon gods, he’s basically the only demon god that purely focuses on support. His personal strength is very weak, but to be able to rank thirty-third, his supporting ability is clearly very powerful.”
“Stolas is known as the Demon God of Curses. He’s skilled in various curses, which makes him extremely troublesome.”
“Phenex is known as the Dark Phoenix. He’s skilled in fire and darkness magic. Although he ranks the lowest out of the three of them, he has the strongest combat prowess.”
After reciting the abilities of the three demon gods, Qiu Yonghao’s heart weighed slightly heavier. These three demon gods could definitely play a terrifying role on the battlefield, but it also demonstrated that Samigina was unable to truly remain calm after the failure from before. This wave of attack would not be easy to stop!
“Leave Gaab and the Demon Carriers to me.” Ye Sanmi said indifferently, “The demons don’t know about our existence, so I’ll give them a present. However, that’ll be my only opportunity. As a result, I can only take care of one of the three demon gods. Once I attack one of them, the other two will definitely undergo the demon god transformation. This will be a tough battle.”
As they discussed the battle tactic, the demon army in the distance drew closer and closer.
The Arcane Demon God Gaab seemed no different from a human. Long, navy hair dropped down his back as he wore luxurious, silver robes. However, he seemed rather wretched, with a large, hooked nose and bulbous eyes. He also carried a thick blue magic staff. He flew by controlling the elements in the air. He did not use any wings at all.
As he flew, Gaab chanted to himself. Very soon, navy light enveloped the demon army below.
Immediately, almost ten thousand demons at the very front were enveloped by this blue light and they suddenly charged forward with much greater speed.
Arcane magic, Agility Boost.
As a user of purely supportive magic, the Arcane Demon God Gaab could cover an extremely large range with his magic. There was not a single human mage that could match him.
