184: The Great Battle

The God Lords of the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones assembled a large number of their dependents to block the Seventh Squad's advance, intending to delay them and buy time for their main forces in the rear.

Most of their dependents were low-level laborers like Beastman Coolies and dog-headed people Miners, numbering in the tens of millions, but their strength was not high.

Under the command of the God Lords, these laborer miners were forced to pick up their weapons and participate in this defensive battle.

The Beastman Coolies carried rusty iron hammers, and the dog-headed people Miners clutched pickaxes and iron picks; they surged towards the pass like a black tide.

Behind them were the God Lords' main dependents, who were the primary defensive force.

At this resource point, the people of the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones had also set up quite a few defensive facilities.

City walls, arrow towers,blockhouse, traps…

The main forces in the rear immediately gathered and deployed defenses at the section of the city wall being invaded.

The arrow towers andblockhouseimmediately attacked the invading enemies.

At this moment, leading the charge were Vulture's Ogre cavalry and Giant troops.

The Ogre cavalry at the very front withstood the attacks from the arrow towers andfort, charging towards the intercepting laborer dependents, swinging their large clubs at the enemies' heads.

In an instant, brains splattered, and red and white unknown liquids flew wildly across the battlefield.

What made those laborer dependents even more terrified were the giant dragons flying in the sky.

The might of hundreds of massive giant dragons attracted the attention of the entire battlefield, and the roar of the giant dragons shook the heavens and earth.

The Dragon Legion ignored these cannon fodder and flew directly towards the enemy's main forces.

These were creatures at the top of the food chain, now appearing in large numbers on the battlefield.

Especially the dog-headed peoples, they dared not harbor any thought of resistance when facing the giant dragons.

But what made them feel fortunate was that these giant dragons ignored them and flew directly to the rear.

The giant dragons directly intercepted the reinforcement troops on their inevitable path, wantonly bombing the enemies.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen's Worms and demon army were hidden in the dark, quickly sneaking towards the interior of the city wall.

To end the battle as quickly as possible this time, Ye Chen used most of his Mid-tier demons.

Millions of various Mid-tier demons constituted an extremely terrifying force.

Their awakened powers differed, their Evolution paths varied, and the abilities of each demon were also unique.

These demons caused tremendous casualties to the defending dependents.

The God Lords of the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones were not to be outdone, sending out their own experts to intercept.

Various magical beasts, chimeras, gargoyles, and constructs, etc.

Constructs were somewhat similar to the dog-headed people's Magic Powered Mecha; both were artificial creations.

However, the difference was that Magic Powered Mecha were mechanical creations requiring manual control, while constructs were artificial life forms combining magic and alchemy.

Common examples included Clay Golems, Stone Golems, Metal Golems, and even Diamond Golems; although these Golems were clumsy, they possessed powerful physical destructive capabilities.

Among this group of Golems, the most powerful were a group of Gold Essence Golems.

Unlike ordinary Golems, Gold Essence Golems possessed extremely excellent magic resistance and spellcasting abilities due to their material.

Gold Essence Golems, relying on the constant runes carved on their bodies, possessed many practical “passive skills.”

Speed, strength, defense, attack, etc., were greatly enhanced, and they could cast some fixed spells.

This also made them one of the strongest creations, with strength comparable to Sixth-tier powerhouses.

The owner of this batch of Gold Essence Golems was stationed here precisely because he coveted the massive amount of Gold Essence, intending to form an army of Gold Essence Golems.

Resources explicitly mined belonged to the organization, but privately, each God Lord would still withhold some for “personal enrichment.”

The Golem God Lord, relying on these small tricks and trading with other stationed God Lords, had now acquired quite a few Gold Essence Mines.

He was just waiting for his alchemists to refine these Gold Essence Mines into Gold Essence Golems.

While the dog-headed people's Magic Powered Mecha temporarily didn't have as high a strength cap, they had the advantage of being mass-producible.

Furthermore, their flexibility and ranged firepower were stronger than these Golems.

Thus, both types of creations had their own merits.

Ye Chen was already very curious about these Golems and commanded the giant dragons to destroy a large number of them.

However, these things had no soul aura, and no souls could be collected after their death, preventing them from joining the Abyssal system.

This quickly made Ye Chen lose interest in them.

Except for Gold Essence Golems that could “drop” a large amount of Gold Essence, other Golems were worthless.

Handing these Golems over to Vulture's Giants to deal with, Ye Chen's army directly attacked the other dependents.

At this time, his other teammates were also not to be outdone.

Eagle's main dependents were a group of terrifying red-eyed flies the size of human heads.

That's right, they were flies extremely similar to Beelzebub's Corrupted Flies; they could devour anything in their way at an extremely fast rate.

And the outwardly aloof Eagle's divine authority was actually the triple divine authority of Mutation, Reproduction, and Corrosion.

These flies rapidly developed and grew strong by accelerating reproduction and occasional mutations.

What Eagle usually had to do was to select powerful individuals and mutants to breed a more excellent next generation.

The upper limit for insect-type dependents was not high, but Eagle, relying on this rogue-like breeding method, managed to reach the Middle God stage and even mastered three divine authorities.

However, this method consumed an extreme amount of resources, and the massive number of flies caused extremely severe ecological damage.

Therefore, Eagle was always a task fanatic, constantly doing missions to accumulate contribution points to raise his dependents.

And his most powerful achievement was undoubtedly the hundreds of Seventh-tier “Demon Fly Kings” he had cultivated.

These Demon Fly Kings had already transcended the realm of ordinary flies; each possessed unique abilities.

There was still some gap between them and ordinary Seventh-tier demigods; their strength was quite a bit weaker than that of ordinary Seventh-tier beings.

But they always appeared in groups and, while unable to release domains, could destroy domains.

The bodies of the Demon Fly Kings were enveloped in a special toxin that could corrode domains and some energy bodies, somewhat similar to the Chaos Power of the Demon Dragon.

They were the ultimate war machines that Eagle had painstakingly cultivated, consuming countless resources and enduring countless failed mutations to select.

Besides the Demon Fly Kings, there was also a larger type of Dragonfly, rumored to have hatched from the flesh and blood of giant dragons or sub-dragons, possessing a certain dragon bloodline.

They could use weakened versions of dragon breath and magic; compared to insects, they were more like a type of dragon beast.

Hundreds of thousands of Dragonflies swooped down, spewing Green dragon breath, causing immense casualties to the troops defending the city wall.

The overwhelming swarm of flies continuously flapped their wings, emitting an irritating buzzing sound from their high-frequency vibrations.

When these flies swarmed towards the city wall, everything was already decided.
