The air was still cold, and the heavy snow that had covered Murental in the past finally stopped. The troops that had already assembled in the city formed irregular square formations. The atmosphere before the war was slightly tense, but there were more expressions on the faces of the soldiers. But confused.
Because most of them have never been on the battlefield, let alone where they are going next.
But it¡¯s clear that some of the teams know what they¡¯re going to face next. Since the day he left Atlantis, Morpheus has been in constant talks with almost all the top parliaments on the continent, including the "Golden Compass Parliament" and the "Knights of the Round Table". In the end, the heads of the ten major families finally got their wish. I met the members of the "Law" Council, and met my mentor Della at the level of "demigod".
After many days of discussions, these elites who usually gather almost the entire continent gathered together at this time, preparing to face all the disasters that may happen next with him - Morpheus thought that persuading them would be difficult. But who would have thought that the unconditional support of the "Law" Council would cause all councils and families to immediately change their previous vague attitudes and make every effort to prepare for war.
Maybe this has something to do with Della? Morpheus thought a lot, but couldn't find the reason why the "Law" Council supported him. However, the war is imminent, and all preparations are in place. All Morpheus has to do is to work hard to promote this huge war vortex to prevent Purgatory's plan that can destroy the human plane.
The composition of the team preparing for the war in Mullenthal at this time can also be said to be slightly complicated - in addition to the 150,000 "chosen" soldiers collected by the Principality of Lampard, Byzantium and the ten major families, there are also Scarlett and William They jointly provided thousands of vampires and werewolves as scouts and the presence of the three councils and the "Night Watch", a total of fifty of the continent's top strength, made this team that originally looked like a militia instantly reach the top of the continent in terms of combat strength. .
¡°Just imagine how many armies would have more than thirty mages of the Grand Mage level or above? Not to mention the powerful Holy Grail Knights of the Round Table Knights Council, and if you include Lampard's own powerful soldiers and wizards, the current combined army, although not large in number, has become a leader that brings together almost all the tops of the continent. The presence of power.
At this time, "Generalissimo" Morpheus, the leader of this team, was standing in front of a huge dug pit. He meditated silently for a moment, then raised his hand and issued the order that had been brewing for a long time.
This is the underground tomb where Ashkandi slept. No one would have thought that Ashkandi had prepared this portal before he sealed himself. Now, all it takes is the mages to activate it with energy, and the army can Can enter the purgatory plane without the purgatory lord knowing
Following Morpheus's order, the mages of the "Golden Compass Council" all looked serious, and vast energy shot out from their hands. The three old guys from the "Law" Council raised their staffs, and a stream of light came out. The magic circle that was originally full of mud in the deep pit was instantly activated.
As the purgatory lord who was once a beast preparing this magic circle, Ashkandi first looked at Morpheus, and after seeing him nodding slightly, he stepped out, lightly scratched his fingertips, and let a drop of blood fall on it. On top of a circular array with an area of ??more than 200 square meters
In an instant, light soared into the sky, and the explosion that tore apart the space resounded throughout Mullenthal, and the door to purgatory slowly opened in front of you.
"Set off!"
As the commander-in-chief of this army, Morpheus issued this simple military order, but it represented the "counterattack" of the human plane - the horn sounded, and the entire Mulental army immediately began to move slowly. .
The cavalry regiments led by Jeanne and Brown, the mage regiments of Sunderland and Creevey, and the rows of infantry arrays carrying repeating crossbows, Lampard's troops bore the brunt of entering the portal. Then William Clement came to him, had a serious conversation with Morpheus, and then led the vampires in gorgeous clothes into the portal.
Then Prince Longinus, Don Quixote and other Knights of the Round Table saluted him on their war horses, leading hundreds of thousands of "Chosen Ones" behind them through the gate one after another.
Looking at the portal leading to purgatory, Morpheus gently rubbed the black notebook in his hand and whispered to himself: "Everything is about to begin."
Five days later, February 6th.
For the Purgatory plane, this may be a day that should be recorded in history.
After nearly a month of hard work, the Sunken and Abyss coalition forces led by Cotriline finally got rid of their previous predicament of hunger and cold. His troops attacked as many as 50,000 Xel'Naga troops along the way, boosting the morale of his army!
Today, Ketrilian's troops finally adopted this method of supporting war with war.After relaxing, we entered the "Valley of Doom" range with a warm climate. The blood clan leader Kurkara, who had previously dissuaded Cotriline, no longer had any reason to refute him, and the entire twelve direct blood clans were much more at peace.
At this time, a team of 250,000 people was stationed at the entrance to the Valley of Doom, and they were ready to face the master of the deep valley Xel'Naga.
And just when the soldiers wanted to breathe a sigh of relief and rest, the army of angels suddenly burst out from outside the valley, causing Cotrilian to squint his eyes.
The mighty army, which seemed to have gathered all the power of the angel plane, numbered a hundred thousand, and they launched an all-out attack without reservation.
Ketrilian didn¡¯t know that this was the number after Perseus had evacuated with 30,000 angels. In short, this battle looked like an ambush that the angels had prepared for.
But even Kurkara and other vampire elders would not know that Ketrilian, who led them to fight all the way, has actually been waiting for these angels for a long time.
"Get ready to fight! Meet at the entrance of the valley!"
Ketrilian immediately issued an order to counterattack, regardless of the disadvantages of such a battle - in front is the angel army charging straight at him, but behind is the Xel'Naga who may attack at any time in the Valley of Doom, so he is caught in the middle The mouth of the valley was not a wise note.
"There will be danger in the rear, Ketrilian, Xel'Naga will definitely not give up this opportunity to attack!"
Kurkara saw the danger and immediately warned Ketrilian, but he did not expect to receive a cold reply from the other party: "Danger? No problem. The twelve tribes of the bloodline immediately withdrew to the rear to stop the Xel'Naga." Possible attacks."
"you¡ª¡ª"
Kurkara took a breath. He never thought that the opponent would use the vampire as a human shield to resist the terrifying Lord of Purgatory - but when he thought about it, Kurkara held back this breath, as if he had made some determination. Yes, he nodded in agreement, turned around and left without any nonsense.
Ketrilian was a little surprised to see him swallowing his anger so much, but at this time, his attention was not on the Valley of Doom at all, and he did not even intend to seriously command any battle. He just looked at the figure in the angelic plane battle formation in the distance. , murmured: "We have been fighting in various planes for so long. Is the Twilight of the Gods coming soon?"
A burst of light flashed out, and the angels' holy light attack fell in front of Ketrilian, and he raised his countless tentacles without showing any weakness, fighting against the fierce charging angels.
The angel army of one hundred thousand people formed a neat and murderous queue, and suddenly collided with the chaotic team in Purgatory - the fighting started immediately, with blood of all colors splattering, long swords waving, bodies separated, and roars Deafening¡
Although the number of the Angels was less than half of the coalition forces under Cotrillion, they immediately had the upper hand due to the terrain of the valley - the entrance of the valley was narrow, and at most only about 10,000 troops from both sides could engage in contact melee, so this The angels, who had strong fighting power and tacit cooperation, were extremely advantageous. They firmly withstood the coalition forces, which were unevenly formed and scattered in formation, and almost suppressed the opponent's momentum in one encounter!
The long sword burning with blue flames in Uriel's hand was raised high, and the holy light representing the angelic plane illuminated the whole place, making the originally orange-red Valley of Doom instantly appear a white gold color - the angels of the Magnus Council took action together. , countless holy lights burned the abyss and the sinking demons, and the cries of pain drowned out the sounds of fighting, causing the morale of the angel army to skyrocket.
But numerical advantage is numerical advantage after all. In front of the entrance of the valley, the abyss demons that kept rushing over were fully prepared to block the gap with their lives. They went on and on in a crazy manner without any need for Cotrilian to say anything He narrowed his eyes. , the spells in his mouth kept coming, and the purgatory spells were shot out one after another. The angels died in droves, and were immediately replaced by the reserve team. The battle gradually fell into a stalemate at the entrance of the valley, and it was extremely tragic.
But in the rear position of the coalition forces, the vampire elders were looking at the leader of the Ballenna family with serious expressions, but they hesitated to speak.
"I know that Cotraline's demands are excessive, so I want to ask you now, are we going to be continuously used by him like this, and eventually consumed to death by him, watching him become the master of this hell?"
Kurkara obviously didn't want to continue to be inferior to others. He pointed at the Valley of Doom and said angrily: "Let us vampires stay in the rear? If Xel'Naga really comes, no one can stop us! Wait! If we, the elders of the direct blood clan, are completely dead, Ketrilian will no longer have any constraints, that is, even if he cannot defeat the lord, he can still become the overlord of the Sinking and the Abyss!"
"But what about us? We are just a stepping stone for his success! In his eyes, the vampires can benefit fromThe resources he uses are thrown away without any hesitation at all - his promise is just a fart, what kind of integrity will the 'Lord of Lies' talk to you about? "
Many of these clan leaders had taken advantage of the war. Some had greatly increased their strength by sucking the blood of high-level creatures, and some had allowed their clansmen to plunder countless wealth. But now that I think about it, this Everything is just a short-term "glory". If you don't have the life to enjoy it, no matter how much you plunder, it will be useless.
So they all nodded in agreement, and no one refuted Kurkara.
The vampires are all afraid of deaththe longer they live, the more so, otherwise they would not have just abandoned the Clement family and fled to other planes.
Seeing how these clan leaders were being persuaded one by one, Kurkara made up his mind even more. He turned his head and looked at Cotriline in the distance who had brought him humiliation countless times, and said in a low voice: "Then let this person The 'Lord of Lies', die under his lies!"
Next, perhaps for the first time in a long time, the twelve clan leaders of the direct blood clan reached a certain consensus. Their team mixed in the Cotrilian coalition army had actually been quietly separated from other troops for a long time. Therefore, at this time, the clan leaders The order was conveyed without any hindrance. The 70,000 Vampires suddenly took action, spread their wings and flew directly towards the top of the valley, making a gesture of fleeing.
Because after countless battles, 80% of the vampires left behind were count-level vampires with wings, so in just five minutes, the entire coalition rear army almost evaporated in an instant.
The remaining Vampires without wings also retreated to both sides. Instead of rushing into the Valley of Doom, they climbed the mountain walls on both sides and fled directly - 70,000 of the 250,000-strong army fled in an instant. This sudden attack The situation made Ketrilian a little frightened. When he turned around, he only saw the black bat wings in the sky, not even the shadow of Kurkara
??According to ordinary wars, when 30% of an army is killed, it is basically doomed to fail. The 70,000 vampires who fled directly at this time are definitely a heavy blow to Cotriline's coalition forces!
The entire coalition was confused by this sudden collapse. They couldn't fly, and for a moment they thought the rear was being attacked. Their morale suddenly dropped, causing the front line to resist the angels to instantly show signs of collapse. When Uriel and other angels saw the situation, they immediately rushed into the battle formation and personally tore apart the defense line, allowing the entire angel army to start advancing across the board!
Ketrilian looked at the scene in front of him, but his expression didn't change much Speaking of which, he didn't bring this coalition here to kill the Xel'Naga - because as early as the first time, he When he took action to kill Solanda, the purgatory lord smiled and told the entire plan of purgatory before he was "killed"
This plan was too crazy and unbelievable, but it forced Cotrilian to believe it.
So the "Lord of Lies" understood that he had become one of the most critical pawns in this plan, and he had to go all the way because Cotreline knew that if he didn't do it, the purgatory lords could eliminate him at any time and eliminate him. Supporting another puppet to come to the front desk to carry out this so-called "infighting in hell", so he has no choice but to continue this show!
Now, this scene is about to reach its due climax.
The angels did not expect that Cotriline's troops would be defeated so quickly. This gave the chief angels of the Magnus Council the hope of "clearing out the remnants of hell." The holy light they continued to cast became more dazzling, making the entire The angel army showed a crazy offensive situation, and almost all the reserves rushed towards the Valley of Doom
And at this moment, a rumbling sound began to echo in the valley.
The valley suddenly shook violently, and both the enemy and the enemy on the battlefield were unable to stand for an instant. As the earthquake became more intense, a stream of extremely hot lava suddenly spewed out on the valley floor less than a kilometer away from the battlefield.
As the hot lava splashed on the battlefield, a huge and fat body also appeared - and then ugly and flaming creatures began to crawl out of the lava
The Xel'Naga and his army appear.
This scene did not go beyond the expectations of the Magnus Council, but it was the reason why they dared to charge at this time - because the location where Xel'Naga appeared was right behind Cotrilian's army, and the angel army and Xalna Gar directly flanked it in this valley. According to the previous conflict between Ketrilian and the Lord of Purgatory, the abyss and the sunken army will definitely encounter a devastating blow from Xel'Naga!
But the next scene made the angels of Magnus Council a little confused.
The Xel¡¯Naga Lord¡¯s army has not stopped since the lava burst out.They surged toward the outside of the valley, but did not attack Cotriline's army at all. Instead, they could not fill the gap torn by the angels, and they all directed their attacks at the angel army!
As for Ketrilian, he did not use the "heart" to attack Xel'Naga as the angel expected. Instead, he directly turned the spearhead and cooperated with Xel'Naga, whose body was several times larger than him, and began to cast spells to attack. The Lord Angel of the Council of Magnus!
"Fell into a trap!"
The main angels of the council immediately noticed something was wrong, but at this time they had no way to retreat, because all the angel armies had poured into the valley, and they could only move forward, without even any room to change formations!
In an instant, the situation reversed
