635 First Wave (2/2)

”Warriors! Even Chaos War God Donatis shall be unable to destroy our final home!”

Under the blood moon, on one of the tallest towers on the city walls, a white-robed elegant figure attracted a great deal of attention. The silver bow in her hand was covered in moonlight. This bow had powerful magical wavelengths emanating from it. It was obvious that it was an incredibly powerful piece of God Equipment.

”Empress Afina!”

The elven warriors recognized their Empress Afina in her. Their morale was instantly restored.

At the same time, various mage towers suddenly lit up as fireballs and fireblasts shot towards the wave of demonic beasts. Every single magical attack was more powerful than a nine-circle magic spell.

When the demon wave began, this meant that Eich's mortal plane had entered a period of high magic. The same magic spell from before would have more than twice the power compared to the period of low magic!

There was still far too much distance between the elves and the demons. The elven archers had no intention of wasting arrows. However, thanks to the buffs from the mage towers, the elven mages started casting the simplest and most practical combat fire magic spells. Constant onslaught of fireballs ignited the demon wave.

However, the Chaos War God in the distance seemed completely unaffected. His sculpture-like expression didn't change one bit, just as if the opponents before him were completely unable to attract his attention. However, the pitch-black demon wave around him seemed to start moving quicker in the direction he gazed in.

Before the first demon wave could arrive at the city walls, countless tall treants stood up outside the walls. They blew on ancient horns as the entire forest started moving. Numerous trees all transformed into living treants that would defend the city.

Rangers jumped into the treants' branches. Some even brought ammo carts filled with arrows. The rangers all knew that they were nothing more than ants in comparison to the demon wave. However, the rangers would fight their very hardest before they died to make up for the treants' critical weakness of being slow and lacking ranged attacks.

Both sides got closer, closer, and even closer to each other. When the black demon wave and green elven wave were about to crash into each other, all elves forgot to breathe.

Countless arrows rained down from the treants' branches. The arrows' elegant arcs marked the start of battle. Every single arrow pierced right through the head of a demon. However, the elven rangers didn't even have time to be proud of their outstanding accuracy, as the demons whose heads were pierced hadn't actually died. These demons furiously pounced on their enemies. No matter if they met an enemy or not, or even if they crashed into an obstacle, they all unhesitatingly used the most powerful self-destruction possible.

A thousand-year-old treant was the first treant to fall over. He hadn't died from the demons' attacks. Instead, this treant had been fully covered in demon war slaves crawling over him, so he was no longer able to maintain his balance and collapsed. The elven ranger on this treant had long been torn into tiny pieces before the treant died.

The rampaging demon war slaves continuously self-destructed at the feet of this treant. Although war treants were renowned throughout all dimensions for their incredibly high durability and defense, this war treant was instantly vaporized by all the self-destructions.

Yet, these demon war slaves could only be considered trash among trash, cannon fodder among cannon fodder in this first demon wave. Under the heartless commander Donatis's orders, these demon war slaves unhesitatingly self-destructed, giving up their own lives.

Five minutes. It took only a short five minutes. The demon war slaves unhesitatingly self-destructed, causing hordes of hundred-year and thousand-year-old treants to perish. These war treants, which were supposed to be the elves' final defense line, were as fragile as paper in front of the demon wave.

Finally, the moon elves blew their warhorns, and silver-armored knights rushed out, riding on silver unicorns and divine beasts. Meanwhile, the allied treants began to retreat back behind the city walls.

The elves had originally intended on using the powerful treants to stop the demon wave's charge and make a sacrifice in order to raise their side's morale. However, the reality was that the elite treants were being exchanged for the lowest-rank demon cannon fodder. This was obviously a tremendous loss for the elves.

In just a short five minutes, more than 30% of the treants had died. Almost 500 treants had died on the retreat back to the city walls. There were also more than 1000 elven rangers who had died together with the treants.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Even a human city would be unable to sustain such losses, not to mention the elves who had a much lower overall population despite being individually stronger than humans.

In this one exchange of blows, the demons had concretely showed the elves what the eternal Holy War really was, along with why the first demon wave would always be unstoppable.

”…Can we really win?”

If this was Donatis's strategy to intimidate the elves, he had indeed succeeded. Right now, even the most optimistic elves were beginning to doubt if they could survive.
