Chapter 1022: Let Them Come (2/2)

”I guess there was a reason Bryan managed to become the ruler of the Fringe and obtain the Overgods' acknowledgement so quickly,” Yarus said as he watched the Han Demon Guards from afar during his own charge.

”I worry that we won't be able to call his name directly in the future anymore,” the lord of Darkwater City said. ”It was no wonder that we lost to him back then.”

”Now, I look at that loss like a badge of honor!” the lord of Darkstone City said.

”Not bad. Losing in a fight to someone like that can hardly be called humiliating. It's an eternal honor to have faced off against someone like him!” Yarus said. ”Quick, the folks from the Fringe are showing us up! If we don't try harder, our Lord will be displeased!”

Hearing that, the fighters from the Dominion of Darkness charged more fervently towards Redmud.

”We've breached it! Hahaha!” Sanguis said, a strong, bloody air wafting all over him. With a wave of the bloody greatsword in his hand, the gods on the defensive walls died from their blood going out of control, bleeding out of all their orifices. Using that chance, Sanguis, Gilbert and Bollands were the first to step onto the walls. They proceeded to kill off all the other gods that were operating the energy crystal cannons.

With the barrage now halted, the only defense that the city had was its barrier. City barriers only had limited defense capacity, so the one of Redmud was overloaded soon after the other charging gods attacked it. It shattered audibly, exposing the entirety of the city to the invaders.

”Kill!” The forces of Darkness, Death, Destruction, and the Fringe laughed maniacally as they charged in, killing not just the guardians of the city but also anyone they set their sights on. The entire city was leveled from the earthquakes, lightning storms, howling gale, and glowing embers.

......

”Lord, Redmud's gate has been breached! Even if we couldn't obtain a complete victory, we can at least cause the four dominions heavy casualties!” Zovic reported to Han Shuo.

Han Shuo, who was expounding the mysteries of various kinds of energies amidst a group of women, nodded. ”I'm not surprised that Redmud was breached. Is there anything else that's noteworthy?”

”The fighters of Light, Life and Water only returned to Luminus for a short while before leaving,” Zovic said after some hesitation.

”Where are they heading?” Han Shuo asked.

”Umm... They're actually coming towards us. If I'm not mistaken, they're targeting the Fringe.”

”Ah! Hehe, I guess Azdins thinks we're easy pickings!”

”They're probably having a hard time with our thousand demon guards, so they want to wipe us out before they return!” Zovic said. He seemed to understand the reason behind the troop movements of the Dominion of Light.

”Taking the initiative isn't a bad move for him,” Han Shuo said with a smile. ”By now, a chaotic battle is breaking out at the Dominion of Earth. Even with a spatial transference formation, there's no way we can focus on both battlefronts at the same time, as I'm sure Azdins is aware.”

”What do we do, Lord?” Zovic asked worriedly. ”We really don't have many fighters who remained in Pandemonium. The moment their forces reach Hexopolis, we won't be able to hold out!”

”Don't worry. We'll do what we have to.” He smirked coldly and continued, ”Let them come. As long as Han Jin and the other four are at Hexopolis, we'll even welcome their arrival!”
