Chapter 833: The Demon God Emperor’s Wrath (I) (2/2)
The master of the Divine Throne of Wisdom and Spirit, the Divine Knight of Knowledge and Legacy, Zhang Fangfang.
The master of the Divine Throne of Order and Law, the Divine Knight of Control and Restraint, Long Tianyin.
The six divine knights were all in robes, but everyone knew that as soon as the battle began, their divine thrones would immediately appear on the battlefield.
Behind the six divine knights were the thirty-six Golden Foundation Knights lead by the Starry Sky Holy Knight Yang Haoyu and the hundred and eight Myrthil Foundation Knights. They were the core as well as the strongest force the Knight Temple possessed.
Aster becoming the Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership as well as the chairman of the union, Yang Haoyu took over the position of Saint Knight Head. It was possible to say that this was the strongest formation of the Knight Temple over the past six thousand years.
The powerhouses of three temples gathered here along with over a hundred powerhouses above the seventh step from the Warrior Temple, Priest Temple and Spiritual Temple. Although the demons still outnumbered them, they neared a thousand people.
At least in terms of domain wielding powerhouses, the humans were not outnumbered. It was just that their overall strength was weaker than the demons.
The Demon God Emperor had basically brought all of the forces his three strongest clans had to offer, two hundred ninth step powerhouses, over a thousand eighth step powerhouses, the Devil Dragon Clan, the Moon Demon Clan and the Star Demon Clan. This would be a battle of unprecedented size between the humans and demons. The outcome of the battle would decide the future of the Shengmo Dalu.
Long Haochen stood in the very centre sternly, while the Bright Glimmer of Hope stood beside the six divine knights. After all, Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Ying’er were both on the level of the six temple heads and they were also vice-chairwomen of the union. The others were also assemblymen of the union, so they possessed enough status to be standing there.
Long Haochen gazed at the demon camp in the distance. The demons were still peaceful. It was completely pointless for humans below the seventh step to take part in this battle. It would be no different than sending them to their deaths. As a result, once the Demon God Emperor had arrived, the union had come up with a battle tactic of using elites against elites after a meeting, to minimise their losses as much as possible. If they all perished on the battlefield, then it would not be too late to flood the enemy with people.
“Lin Xin, what’s the situation with Cai’er and the others?” Long Haochen asked Lin Xin who stood nearby.
Before all these people, Lin Xin replied extremely politely, “Chairman, vice-chairwoman Cai’er and the others are currently recovering their strength. Please do not worry. They have the support of my medicine. Vice-chairwoman Cai’er will be able to return to her peak condition before long.”
Cai’er was the one who had brought back the news from the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. However, as soon as she returned, she ingested the medicine provided by Lin Xin to heal.
Cai’er’s injuries were heavy and she had completely over exhausted herself. She had played crucial roles on the battlefields of the Southeastern Fort and the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass, especially when she personally slew Samigina.
Cai’er was not the only one to return. She even used the Tower of Eternity to bring all the Eternal Heroes from the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. Apart from the nine that fell in battle, another twelve Eternal Heroes returned. Coupled with the twelve holy guards revived from all the aura of death Cai’er had purified from the battlefields, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass’s gained over twenty more ninth step powerhouses.”
It was possible to say that the Temple Union had gathered all of its primary forces to deal with the Demon God Emperor, apart from leaving behind the people they needed to for the other forts. This was also what Long Haochen wanted to see the most. Whether they could defeat the Demon God Emperor would be the final decider of victory.
“Chairman, everything’s been prepared,” Yang Haoyu arrived beside Long Haochen and whispered.
Long Haochen nodded. With a flash, he flew ten meters away from the wall. He turned around and faced the powerhouses on the walls.
“Predecessors of the six temples, seniors, Eternal Heroes, the moment that decides whether we can break out of this darkness has arrived. For the better future of our descendents, for us humans to become the rulers of the Shengmo Dalu once more, many of us may never see the sunlight of tomorrow ever again in this battle. However, I, the first chairman of the Temple Union, Long Haochen, will die without regrets. I take deep pride in being able to fall in battle with you all against the demons.”
“Among us, basically every single person holds deep grudges with the demons. Recently, the Demon God Emperor slew over a dozen of our legendary heroes from two titled demon hunt squads. This time, the Demon God Emperor is even trying to destroy us completely, forcing us to take a step closer to slavery. However, they will never succeed.”
“Perhaps some seniors do not know that the demons have sent armies amounting to a million in total to other battlefields, lead by the Demon God of Death Samigina and the Hell Demon God Marbas, to attack the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass simultaneously. The two armies mobilised a total of thirty-four demon gods and launched an unprecedented, full scale holy war. However, I must give you good news. Because of our sufficient preparation and appropriate battle tactics, the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass have both achieved a decisive victory in this holy war.”
