76: The Final Battle of Aylan

Ailan World.

As the Abyss Army captured city after city, a proper war finally arrived.

The fleeing Roman Emperor, under Gavin's protection, reassembled his army.

He then arranged for Gavin to embassy several major kingdoms, explaining the pros and cons, and ordering them to send their elite forces to rendezvous at Triumphal City.

Gavin did not disappoint; with his clumsy eloquence and superb martial arts, he successfully 'persuaded' several kings to dispatch their most prized armies.

Now, an army gathering all the continent's elite forces has assembled at Triumphal City, waiting only to launch the final decisive battle.

They did not have to wait long before the Abyss Army arrived at the city gates.

The torrent of demonic creatures surging like a tide was suffocating, causing panic among the soldiers on the city walls.

Cain sat grandly on a gilded throne atop the back of a Desert Dragon, accompanied by dozens of Blood Clan descendants, all handsome men and beautiful women.

On the city wall, the Roman Emperor frowned, staring intently at the throne beneath Cain.

The shape and craftsmanship of this throne were clearly identical to the one in his own Palace!

Only the 'butt cushion' on it was ugly and vulgar, nowhere near the luxurious elegance of his own gold-threaded brocade cushion.

Cain naturally didn't know the Emperor's thoughts. At this moment, a confident and arrogant smile played on his lips as he gazed at Triumphal City, his eyes filled with determination to win.

In his view, as long as this battle was won, Ailan World would have no power left to resist and would be completely incorporated into the territory of the Abyss.

And he, as the commander of this war, would surely become a great contributor to the Abyss, receiving praise from the Lord of the Abyss.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grip the armrest, contemplating the future of the Blood Clan.

Currently, including the Blood Clan members still learning in various units, he already had over a hundred Blood Clan descendants under his command.

If they could advance to the fourth tier and master the Embrace skill, the Blood Clan army would surely grow rapidly, truly forming a Blood Clan army!

Becoming a force that cannot be ignored in the Abyss.

With the Abyss providing resurrection as a safety net, the Blood Clan needed to participate more in battles to develop quickly.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

The alarm bells on the city walls quickly echoed throughout the city, breaking the heavy silence of the battlefield and interrupting Cain's contemplation.

As the alarm bells rang, the gates of Triumphal City slowly opened with a creaking sound.

And within the city gates was a neatly arrayed heavy cavalry!

They did not defend the city walls but, under Gavin's leadership, prepared to charge directly towards the demonic creature army!

Gavin spurred his horse and brandished his whip, standing at the forefront of the army.

Behind him were over twenty Earth Knights and more than a thousand Great Knights.

Finally, there were tens of thousands of ordinary knights and their squires.

They came from different countries and had different beliefs.

But this time they had a common goal—to fight for survival!

There were no impassioned declarations, nor was any encouragement needed.

Everyone knew the importance of this battle; before participating in the action, they already had the conviction to die on the battlefield.

Without waiting for the demonic creatures to react, Gavin raised the long whip in his hand and struck his warhorse heavily.

"Gentlemen—charge with me!"

Gavin's voice resounded through the sky, full of indomitable momentum and heroism.

"Kill—"

The knights roared in unison, their voices shaking heaven and earth, completely igniting the entire battlefield.

The heavy sound of hooves broke the peace of Triumphal City. All the knights did not flinch and charged directly towards the demonic creature army.

Watching the knights continuously accelerate their charge, Cain finally became interested.

Now this is a proper battle. Knights should keep charging; even if they die, they should die in the midst of a charge.

Facing this charge that concentrated Ailan World's last strength, Cain was not careless.

He had the Devil Race and Snake-people Army quickly disperse to avoid being wiped out by the knights in one go.

Immediately after, he arranged for ranged units to continuously wear down the cavalry.

Wind blades, blood arrows, blood chains, poison orbs, toxic miasma...

Countless skills surged towards the cavalry. Some low-tier knights, lacking Qi protection, were attacked during the charge, fell from their warhorses, and were trampled into meat paste by the continuous stream of warhorses behind them.

But the knights did not slow down; they continued to slowly accelerate their charge.

Apollo, seeing such neat moving targets, also became interested.

He flew above the cavalry, intending to unleash another Fear Storm, targeting Gavin, who was his wife's killer!

Gavin was charging at the very front when he suddenly noticed an energy anomaly in the sky. Looking up, he realized it was that hateful birdman.

He had chased him the whole way before, but to protect the Emperor, he had let him go.

Now he dared to show his face again? He couldn't be allowed to live.

Before Apollo could finish condensing, Gavin had already leaped into the air, his long sword unleashing countless sword Qi to seal off Apollo's surroundings.

Seeing the enemy's fierce momentum, Apollo naturally wouldn't clash head-on.

He threw the unformed Fear Storm in his hand into the cavalry and turned to flee directly.

Seeing this, Gavin paid no attention to the fleeing Apollo. With Qi covering his entire body, he directly crashed into the Fear Storm.

The fear energy within the storm continuously eroded the Qi, but it could never break through the barrier.

Gavin continuously swung the long sword in his hand, sending out streaks of sword Qi that disrupted the storm's stability.

Finally, under Gavin's destruction, the storm dissipated into nothingness.

Meanwhile, relying on their strong mobility, the knights finally engaged the demonic creatures in close combat.

The heavily armored knights at the very front, relying on their thick armor, completely disregarded their own defense.

Driven by the force of the charge, the long spears in their hands pierced through the bodies of the Saurians one by one.

The Saurians let out piercing hisses, and at the moment of death, they suddenly unleashed the toxins throughout their bodies.

Dense toxic mist permeated the entire battlefield, and members of the cavalry were all invaded by the toxins.

Relying on their own Qi, the knights temporarily slowed the spread of the toxins and continued their charge.

The flesh and blood bodies of the Saurians could not stop their charge. After piercing through the Saurian formation, they charged towards the Devil Race army again.

Fortunately, the formation had dispersed in advance. Apart apart from some Saurians in the path of the charge, most of the Saurians saved their lives.

The cavalry, with undiminished momentum, charged towards the Devil Race army, wanting to pierce through them again.

The Devil Race knew they couldn't outrun these knights. After their formation dispersed, they stood ready, waiting for the cavalry to approach.

As the cavalry charged before them, many of the Devil Race soared into the air, their bodies erupting with dense, dark black nether flames.

Then, like black meteors, they crashed violently into the cavalry, triggering fierce explosions.

The knights at the very front were either struck down by the meteors or hit by the explosion's shockwave. They all fell from their horses and were trampled into meat paste by their comrades.

And at the center of the explosions, dark black flame vortexes rose from the bodies of the Devil Race. Knights who stepped into the flame vortexes behind were pulled in and burned by the vortex, unable to help but scream.

「Fallen Starfall: After a brief charge, ascend into the air, transform into a burning demonic shadow, and crash to the ground, causing a regional explosion. The center of the explosion forms a ten-second lasting Abyss vortex, dragging enemies into it and applying 'Gravity Suppression' and 'Shadow Burn' dual damage.」
