Chapter 1369: Devil Shadow Dragoon versus the Hell Brigade
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The strongest beings in the universe! The Draconids! They had finally appeared!
Even over a vast distance, they exerted an immense psychological pressure on the Devil Shadow Dragoons. The older Dragoons who had already fought for countless epochs were somewhat better off. After all, this was not the first time they had experienced the terror of the Megadragons.
The warriors who had newly joined the Dragoons were very nervous, somewhat at a loss of what to do against such a powerful foe.
The dragon army was a demonic shadow that obscured the universe. As they advanced slowly, even the stars ceased to twinkle. It was like a shadow of death was slowly pressing toward the Dragoons.
And their speed was getting faster and faster!
!!
By the very end, the river of stars was shuddering! Darkness had engulfed the universe!
Suddenly, the nearly two thousand dragons let out evil howls! “Awoooo!~”
The sound waves almost seemed to have substance, stirring up stellar storms and making it difficult for the warriors to stand. The fortifications that the Dragoons had meticulously constructed started to crack under the pressure of these peerless sound waves, as if they were being struck by cannon fire!
The lower-rank warriors tried to cover their ears as best they could, the frenzied roars of the Megadragons making them bleed from their ears, nose, and mouth! It just kept coming out!
A Lionheart warrior dropped to the ground, his hands desperately clutching his head as his eyes rolled over, experiencing hellish pain!
This warrior’s heart soon stopped beating, and he went limp on the ground as his soul returned to the stars.
The Dragons! Even their voices had supreme lethality!
Rumble!
The clamor of the enemy grew louder and louder, the innumerable ranks of the Hell Brigade along with the White Owls and Night Owls sweeping forth like the tide, savagery on their faces!
“No, the reports were wrong! The Hell Brigade definitely doesn’t number only five million!” Raksha looked at the Hell Brigade that had blotted out the stars and said grimly, “This time, the dragons have mobilized all their legions!”
Even if Raksha hadn’t said anything, everyone had already noticed the increased numbers of the Hell Brigade. When the first row of Hell Brigade had surged forward, they had revealed the ranks behind them!
Layer after layer stretched into the distance, occupying a large region of space!
Nalan Wufa harrumphed, saying in a slightly raspy voice, “There’s no need to argue about the enemy numbers. This isn’t the problem! Whether the enemy has five million or five trillion, we have to hold!”
Nalan Wufa strode forward, walking toward the front line as he shouted, “Hold! All of you, hold! There is to be no attacking without my order!
“Compose yourself! Wait for the enemy to get closer, closer!”
Nalan Wufa used his dignified voice to encourage his brothers, but in the face of the surging Hell Brigade, who could truly remain composed?
This was the full might of the Hell Brigade! It was impossible to count their numbers, for this entire region of space was packed with them! The most conservative count would exceed ten million!
Ten million Hell legionnaires!
The Devil Shadow Dragoons only numbered one hundred thousand. This was a hundredfold difference!
And the most powerful dragon army hadn’t even joined in yet!
This seemed to be done on purpose. The nearly two thousand dragons had stopped at a great distance from the front line. Rather than charging forward, they intended to use the sheer numbers of the Hell Brigade to wear down the strength of the Devil Shadow Dragoons!
This was a sinister strategy. Once the Dragoons were exhausted, the supreme Megadragon army would sweep through, crushing the Devil Shadow Dragoons in one go!
The Devil Shadow Dragoons knew that this would be a very difficult and bitterly fought battle, but they could not so easily retreat.
After all, the Seven Star Steles were the strongest defensive ground in the entire seventh universe! If they couldn’t even hold this place, then holding any other place was basically impossible!
Closer!
The Hell Brigade was approaching the Dragoon defense line! The warriors turned ghastly pale, their hearts leaping to their eyes!
When facing a hundred times their number in enemies, even the bravest of warriors would feel fear!
The Hell Brigade drew closer and closer, so close that one could clearly make out their fiendish faces and their weapons gleaming with a bloody light.
The fear in the hearts of the warriors reached its maximum, their nerves stretched completely taut!
At this moment, Nalan Wufa suddenly shot Ding Hai a glance.
Ding Hai swung his right arm upward, releasing a powerful burst of spirit energy that rocketed into the air and exploded like fireworks!
“Kill!” Following this the ambush force attacked!
A force of around ten thousand suddenly struck at the flanks of the Hell Brigade, each division made up of five thousand men!
At that moment, the Hell Brigade’s vanguard force had reached the front of the Dragoon defenses. The two divisions stabbed into the Hell Brigade like two sharp knives, cutting through the enemy formation at the waist!
A wonderfully executed ambush!
Somehow, these warriors had concealed themselves so well that they were practically one with the sea of stars, all of them waiting for the order to strike.
When Ding Hai gave the order, they struck like venomous snakes! The Hell Brigade was completely unprepared, and the Dragoons soon tore apart their ranks!
“Meet the enemy! Prepare to meet the enemy!” Nalan Wufa shouted.
The despairing warriors were revitalized, and they ensured that the defense line was watertight!
The enemy assault was like the ocean waves. The first wave was the strongest, striking brutally at the Dragoon defenses.
But if they could hold out against the first wave, the Dragoons would have a chance to counterattack!
The experts stepped forward, charging into the ranks of the Hell Brigade and commencing a slaughter!
One punch turned several hundred foes into dust!
When the dragons were not around to offer their support to the Hell Brigade, the Devil Shadow Dragoons became heaven-defying existences!
Even the Blueblood puppets of the Hell Brigade, the strongest kind, were no match for those monsters!
Yangguang and Nalan Wufa, both supreme existences, had frightening killing power, leaving countless corpses in their wake! They killed faster than one could cut down grass!
“End this quickly! Quickly!” Nalan Wufa encouraged.
Speedy figures shout out from the ranks of the Dragoons: the Skywing Wolves!
With the Wolf Pack Formation and their crazy speed, the Skywings had combat power on par with Yangguang!
After all, the Devil Shadow Dragoons were the best tacticians in the universe! A powerful force like them had no reason to just sit and wait for their death!
The two divisions had come in from the side and cut the enemy front from the rest of the army. The main force held the line while the high-ranked experts charged into the enemy ranks, making them collapse from within!
This was tactics! It was easier said than done: one had to both come up with the right tactics and then execute them!
Crazy! They were all crazy!
The crazy Devil Shadow Dragoons had been the best tacticians in history, and they had also been the most cold-blooded executors of those tactics!
Even when they knew that those tactics might end in their deaths, the Fiends executed them without hesitation!
That was why the Devil Shadow Dragoons were known as master tacticians! Their methods were vicious, and their warriors didn’t fear death! They were all iron-blooded men!
Such a powerful force would become dominant in the universe, even if it didn’t want to!
Simple, powerful, crazy! The Devil Shadow Dragoons could be described with those three words!
The battlefield was awash with Law power, soul energy, long-range attacks, and melee attacks! Everyone had joined in!
Fiend Race! Humans! Yggdragons! Beasts! All the elites had been sent forth!
This battle made all the light go out of the world!
In the distance, the dragons seemed utterly indifferent, quietly watching as their Hell Brigade was slaughtered.
Nearly two thousand giant forms watched hungrily from the distance. They seemed able to potentially lunge out any moment, but they did no such thing.
The pressure was greater than imagined. After all, this was an enemy force that exceeded ten million!
As the Hell Brigade was cut down, many Dragoons were being lost. The disadvantage in numbers was making itself manifest!
*Sprak*
Several hundred Hell Brigade warriors rushed up and surrounded a single Devil Shadow Dragoon, cutting him down.
Similar sights were taking place all over the battlefield!
This was a grinding battle that had no end!
The Hell Brigade was just too numerous, and that wasn’t even considering the Night Owls and White Owls, who were using their speed to move in and out of the battlefield!
“Kill those Night Owls!” Xia Gucheng bellowed, and the Skywing Wolves shot forth!
The high-ranked Skywing warriors were fast enough to catch up to Night Owls! Xia Guanghai shot out like an arrow, jumping onto a White Owl. He grabbed its head with both arms and pulled, tearing the White Owl’s head straight off!
*Splat!*
Blood spurted several dozen meters into the air!
Even the searcher of the Skywing Clan, Xia Geng, had joined the fray! He didn’t have Xia Guanghai’s speed, but he had brutal methods!
Moving rapidly, he confronted a Night Owl and punched!
Bang! Xia Geng blasted a giant hole through the abdomen of the Night Owl, obliterating its organs and sending guts and blood everywhere!
“All of you, die!” Yggdragon King Yangguang revealed his enormous form, his wings unfurling to a span of eight hundred kilometers!
Yangguang opened his mouth with a rumble and spat out a powerful dragon breath! The dragon’s breath was like a solar storm, setting the sea of stars ablaze with hellish flames! Several hundred Night Owls and White Owls were instantly burned alive!
Burned into dregs! Burned into ash!
There was also Yangguang’s people, those dragons who called themselves Yggdragons!
They revealed their enormous forms and rapidly traveled to and fro, opening their bloody maws. One bit down on a Night Owl, and blood spurted out everywhere, like someone had stomped on a water bag!
As the minutes went by, the bitter battle continued!
The flanking divisions had blocked the Hell Brigade ‘s attack, but they were powerless to stop the advance of the forces from the rear.
There were simply too many enemies. Kill one and three would take their place! Kill three and three hundred would take their place!
The Dragoons started to gradually retreat, everyone’s hearts wincing. It was because the truly powerful foes had yet to even enter the battlefield! They were still waiting in the distance, eying them hungrily!
If they couldn’t even hold against the Hell Brigade, how could they face the dragons?
The atmosphere was oppressive! Suffocatingly oppressive!
The battle needed a shot of energy!
The morale of the warriors was waning, suppressed by the innumerable enemies!
Suddenly, someone among the faltering Dragoons shouted, “Look! The last of the Seven Star Steles has lit up!”
“Black! It’s the black star! Xia Fei has overtaken that powerful foe! He’s reached the last level of the Seven Star Steles first!”
“Hurrah!” The Devil Shadow Dragoons were revitalized!
