I Became the Progenitor Vampire - Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Chapter 378: The Flames of War Ignite, The Battle of the Five Armies Chapter 376: Chapter 378: The Flames of War Ignite, The Battle of the Five Armies As the first glimmer of dawn illuminated the earth,
a horn sounding like it came from ancient times spread across the entire battlefield.

Wuu wuu~
The sound was desolate and heart-shaking.

Nearing, a battle worthy of entering the annals of Glory had begun.

Leading the army of Duke O’Kelly, 100,000 warriors stood at the forefront, with tens of thousands of cavalry pressing on both flanks. The use of cavalry in a siege was nearly negligible, their main role was to prevent sudden attacks from the Beastman Wolf Cavalry.

Right beside the warrior battalions, archer legions were arrayed; over ten battalions of ten thousand appeared like dark swarms upon the grassland.

Over a hundred six-bladed catapults creaked and groaned as they were cranked, with large rocks being lifted onto them by several warriors.

As the first batch of catapults was loaded with boulders, adjacent generals drew their Cross Longswords without any hesitation, roaring loudly,
“Release!!”

Bang~
The soldiers holding the winches in front instantly let go, then the chains rapidly unwound and spun back, with uncontrolled catapults suddenly snapping upwards, the massive inertia flinging the terrifying rocks, weighing over 500 pounds, high into the sky.

Whoo whoo~
Just how terrifying were the sounds made by hundreds of boulders could be understood from the Beastmen guarding the walls of Risier City at that moment.

Thud~
Boom boom booom~
Like thunder falling from the ninth celestial layer!

The first boulder, with the momentum of thunder, smashed into the city walls, and the solid battlements tore apart like paper; behind the walls, dozens of Beastman Warriors were crushed into minced flesh by the rock, their shields and armor offering no protection whatsoever.

The boulder’s relentless force continued, rolling several times before smashing through the inner short walls and falling directly into the city.

Beastmen scrambing to assemble behind the walls abruptly looked up, just to see a vast shadow envelop them; in their eyes reflected the striking, blood-stained patterns on the stone.

Filled with endless horror, they were too late to dodge.

Puchi~
Blood splattered, and in an instant, over a dozen mangled corpses littered the ground, with the scent of blood spreading into the air.

Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
The walls of Risier City were hit with a brutal assault.

Debris flew, flesh ground into pulp.

After one round of attack, thousands of Beastmen, yet to recover from the shock, were smashed into blood mist.

The screams of the injured Beastmen, along with the thickness of blood in the air, resembling mist, echoed across the battlefield.

At this time, an enormous commotion arose from the human formations; looking out, dozens of siege tower carriages were pushed forward by thousands of warriors from behind the battalions of ten thousand.

Archers densely packed the seven-layer-high tower carriages, arming them like porcupines.

Their target was straight at the city walls.

Wuu wuu~
The bleak sound of the horn blew once more, and this time, the front five battalions from among the ten-thousand-strong formations began to advance toward Risier City alongside the siege towers.

The siege had begun.

The previously stunned Beastmen finally reacted, with a Beastman Governor wielding an iron whip letting out an extremely furious roar, prompting the giant catapults within the city to start cranking.

Under the oppressive clouds darkening the sky, huge boulders flew out from Risier City, their whooshing breaking the air like the roar of demons, tracing long arcs in the sky.

Then,
they fell.

Thud~
The first boulder smashed into the human army’s formation, instantly obliterating dozens of people, scattering blood, breaking mud, and severed limbs.

Following the first boulder, hundreds more swiftly descended.

Bang, bang, bang~ The silent battering sounds, like siege hammers pounding the earth, carved out numerous bloody paths of death.

The high martial spirit of the human army was immediately suppressed by the assault.

Roar~
Witnessing this, the Beastmen on the city walls let out beast-like roars.

The true war had begun.

If the battle scenes of blockbuster movies were awe-inspiring, then witnessing a siege involving hundreds of thousands of troops made one’s blood surge from their feet to their head.

Absolutely heart-stopping.

“Bowmen, suppressive fire!!”

As the troops drew near the walls of Risier City, a human general roared his command, and the signal officers immediately waved their flags.

Moments later, archers from several ten-thousand-strong formations violently drew their bows to the sky, then released in unison. Bowstrings twanged sharply, and the piercing arrows screamed through the air, filled with a chilling intent to kill.

Across hundreds of paces, the arrows with white fletching raced towards the city walls, blackening the sky.

At that moment, the initially dim sky was completely covered by arrows, as the god of death descended upon the world.

The Beastmen on the walls were not to be outdone.

“Kill them!!

Loose arrows!!!”

Twang~ the sound of bowstrings resounded as showers of grey arrows clashed mid-air with the white-fletched ones.

The muffled sounds of impact were ceaseless.

Then the rain of arrows plummeted down in their swift descent.

Thud~
Blood splattered; screams tore through the air.

Even sturdy armor had its vulnerabilities. A human warrior’s neck was pierced cleanly by a sharp arrow, blood spurting high into the air. This Level 9 warrior couldn’t even survive three breaths before collapsing, his body temperature dropping rapidly.

The surroundings were steeped in bloodshed.

Under the baptism of the arrow rain, within a few breaths, dense formations of the human army fell, at least a thousand men down, while a significant area on the Beastmen’s towers was also cleared.

With the advance of the troops, the war intensified.

Catapults hurled massive boulders accompanied by the relentless barrage of arrows, with the explosive sounds of their impact resonating in every corner of the battlefield.

The wounded warriors’ howls, like the mournful cries of dying beasts, were deeply unsettling. Severed limbs were everywhere, and blood already threatened to dye the earth red before the two sides even clashed in close combat.

“Charge!! Scale the walls!!”

Unable to tolerate the progress of the advance, the commanding generals of the human formation immediately issued the order to charge.

Woo woo~
The urgent war horns sounded, and the human legions, now 300 paces from the city wall, pushed forward tower carriages, carried siege ladders along with various engineering apparatus, and began to surge forth.

The scene was like a tidal wave flooding the earth, and the walls of Risier City stood like rocks being battered by the relentless waves.

“Fire! Quick!! Kill those damn humans, fools, shoot the arrows quickly!! Let the humans taste what it’s like to be hunted by Beastmen with the bows in your hands!

Death is calling to them!!

Beast God above, we are enveloped in your divine glory, kill!!”

The raging voice of the Beastman Governor filled the front of the walls, enveloping the majority of Beastmen, who were already fiercely quick with their bows, to speed up even more.

However, just as the words fell, a huge rock descended from the sky, and the terrifying sound of it breaking the air filled the faces of the surrounding Beastmen with an unmistakable horror.

Bang~
Crash~
The Beastman Governor who had just shouted out aloud was instantly smashed into a pulp along with several other Beastmen around him.

The area went silent at the sight of this, but instead of fear, the rich scent of blood slowly turned the eyes of the Beastmen crimson, and their killing intent escalated.

“Roar!!”

“Kill!!”

“Climb up!!”

“Attack!!”

Accompanying this, the first batch of the Human Army reached the city below.

Under the barrage of arrows shot by the Beastmen, dozens to hundreds of the Human Army fell dead for every step they advanced.

No one knew exactly how many lives this charge had cost; everyone was just rushing forward. ON the battlefield, there may be a chance to live if you fight, but flight would earn you nothing but beheading by a Military Governor.

Boom~
After paying a steep price, the Human Army, pushing towering Tower Carriages, crashed against the city walls.

The siege Tower Carriage was undoubtedly the pinnacle of engineering in this era–enchanted Tower Carriages were very light and easy to move, turning them into deadly weapons when attacking these unprotected walls.

The soldiers, who could look down upon the walls of Risier City from their taller siege Tower Carriages, stood ready. As soon as the Tower Carriage hit the wall, an iron plate mounted on its front came crashing down, its terrible force shattering the battlements ahead. The soldiers, unable to wait any longer, burst out of the Tower Carriage.

When the two sides met in close combat, an even more brutal melee began.

More than half of the hundred Tower Carriages were destroyed as they neared the city wall, but there were still over fifty that latched onto the walls.

And the Human Army at the base of the wall immediately set up climbing ladders. These cleverly designed siege machines were raised swiftly against the wall using lever principles.

Bang, bang, bang~
In just a few breaths of time, hundreds of ladders were laid against one section of the wall,
And the Beastmen, harried by the Tower Carriages, were momentarily unable to deal with these ladders, forced to watch helplessly as the humans climbed up en masse like ants.

Even with their crossbows firing as fast as possible, they couldn’t kill everyone!

The war went on, and the killing continued.

The sounds of battle, shouts, and wails became the main melody of the battlefield where armor was pierced by arrows, weapons clashed violently, and blood sprayed through the air.

A Level 15 Werewolf went berserk, his body ballooning in size as he shrugged off everyone’s attacks and charged onto the Tower Carriage. He ignored the assaults of dozens of humans, his formidable combat prowess unleashing a wave of bloody carnage.

None could stand in his way.

On the other side, a Level 15 top-ranking Human Professional drew his combat blade after climbing up the ladder and onto the city tower, rending nearby Beastmen to shreds, immediately cementing a foothold for the army below to climb up.

The collision between short-range weapons on the wall turned it into a meat grinder.

This was where the scythe of the Death God harvested, devouring all life.

Every second brought a fall; with every breath, bodies tumbled from atop the walls.

The Human Army’s assault was too sudden, the time from the start of the war to hand-to-hand combat didn’t even exceed 10 minutes.

The Beastmen of Risier City hadn’t had time to deploy most of their forces yet, so the walls were rapidly falling.

Wu wu~
As the situation turned dire, deep sounds of a bullhorn echoed within Risier City.

Then, to the delight of all Beastmen, a thrilling sight appeared in the sky–a dense flock of Double-legged Flying Dragons.

Huge dragon wings obscured the sky, while the gaping maws dripping with corrosive saliva issued icy roars that sent chills down the spine.

The Double-legged Flying Dragon was the Beastmen’s most powerful Air Force.

The beating of dragon wings emitted a massive whoosh through the air, and the dense clouds in the sky, dark as ink, provided a backdrop for these killing machines. They seemed like demons crawling out of hell.

Hoo-hoo~
They dove downward.

No one could have imagined the staggering spectacle of thousands of double-legged flying dragons diving from the sky toward the human army’s formation.

Even the most steadfast warriors felt their legs involuntarily weaken at this moment.

Hear-hear~
But just as the double-legged flying dragons appeared, the Pegasus with wings on their backs and bodies as white as snow also took flight from behind the human formation.

They were like messengers bringing the light, their holy and majestic appearance was the complete opposite of the double-legged flying dragons, which reeked of slaughter and death.

The double-legged flying dragons, ready to dive, were forced to abandon hunting the ground troops and dashed fiercely toward the Pegasus Army.

The sky was now completely shrouded by wings, and the pitiful light was almost gone.

The two flying troops crossed paths in an instant, the pure white feathers of the Pegasus and the dragon wings of the double-legged flying dragons clashed in the sky like a collision between light and darkness.

Bang~
Sizzle~
A shower of corpses fell from the sky like raindrops at the moment the battle commenced.

A Pegasus, too slow to evade, was torn apart by the double-legged flying dragon right before it. Two sky knights didn’t even have time to fight back before they fell from the sky, following the blood and dismembered limbs.

After several dull thuds, the ground was left only with gore, and no one survived.

A double-legged flying dragon that had just approached was shot in the eye by a knight riding a Pegasus. And before it could escape, a warrior wielding a sky cavalier spear pierced and tore through the flying dragon’s skull, striking it down valiantly.

The carnage in the sky was even crueler than on the ground; there were no wounded here, only fallen soldiers.

With the entrance of both air forces, the battle escalated to another extreme. All the adjectives in the dictionary seemed insufficient to describe the scene except for ‘gruesome.’
Hundreds of thousands in the armies’ thirst for killing completely shocked the players watching from afar.

They had never imagined that war in a game could be so bloody and violent.

In a very short time, news of a large-scale war in Risier City spread rapidly among the players. Those near Risier City started to flock there frantically.

Anos City, a player’s main city, was very close by. In a short time, over 100,000 players rushed toward Risier City, where they would witness an epic war.

Woo-woo~
The endless sound of the war horn cut through the entirety of Risier City, from a great distance…

To the north of Risier City, the Dwarf Army that had just arrived 5 kilometers from the city immediately heard the war horn echoing across the sky.

Nalis Copper Hammer, the clan chief of the Copper Hammer Tribe, suddenly sharpened his gaze.

“What’s happening ahead? Have the vanguard unit report at once!”

“Yes, Clan Chief…”

The messenger rode away on a mighty ram, while the two players accompanying the Dwarf Army exchanged concerned glances, inwardly uneasy.

Please, let nothing be going wrong now; they had finally gotten acquainted with the others.

In less than three minutes, the sound of hooves trotting on the grass approached, and the Dwarf messenger reappeared.

“Clan Chief, the forward unit reports that a large-scale war is taking place in Risier City. Humans are currently attacking the city.

The Beastmen have contracted their forces and are fully engaged in responding to the human offensive…”

“Large-scale war? Who initiated the attack? How many troops do they have? What’s the current state of the battle?”

“Clan Chief, the war was initiated by the human army from Green City. We do not currently know who the commander is.

Their forces numbered over 200,000, and the war had begun just before the Sunshine Hour, with both sides currently at a stalemate.”

Oh?

This news surprised Naris a bit, and he turned to glance at the clan leader of the Rabiao Hammer Tribe beside him–Rabiao Hammer.

“Rabiao, how much do you know about the humans of Green City? Why would they attack Risier City at this time?”

He had no interest in the war between humans and beastmen, indifferent to who lived or died, as neither race had left a good impression on him.

However, if this war was started over divine relics, that piqued his curiosity.

After all, beastmen had occupied Risier City for more than two years with no commotion, but it was only after the news of the divine relics that they launched an attack to reclaim it, which seemed highly suspicious.

“Clan Chief Naris, I don’t know much about Green City…

But no matter what, humans are extremely greedy creatures, and they definitely wouldn’t rashly start a major war without the motivation of interest.

Perhaps we could get a little closer…”

But before Rabiao could finish speaking, suddenly, boom–
The skies above Risier City were wild with thunder and lightning.

Dense clouds were lit up by direct lightning, dragon wings arced through the sky, and then, to everyone’s shock, an Eye of Chaos and Death, filled with blood, slaughter, death, and an endless aura of extreme evil, appeared out of nowhere above Risier City.

The entire sky dimmed the instant the lightning vanished.

The thick black clouds revolved around that Eye of Chaos and Death like the eye of a storm within force-12 winds, filled with a chill that numbed everyone from the soles of their feet to the back of their skulls.

Death God descends…

The Eye of Chaos and Death wasn’t completely freed from its shackles yet, as one could see upon closer inspection that countless dimly glowing rune chains bound it.

But what was truly alarming was that with each few breaths, a rune chain would shatter, making it clear that once all chains broke, the Eye of Chaos and Death would break free from its shackles.

Fear devoured everything.

Everyone felt as if a demon with a gaping maw loomed behind them, ready to tear apart their souls at any moment.

Within a hundred kilometers, anyone who looked up could see that eye in the sky, the eye spreading terror and death.

Civilians and low-level professionals with feeble wills collapsed to the ground, legs giving way upon seeing the Eye of Chaos and Death, rendering them combat ineffective.

Even more professionals, with faces stricken with horror, didn’t look back as they ran away, desperate to escape this great terror, knowing death could descend at any moment.

Ancient evil was resurrecting… There were those who could describe how chilling the aura of extreme evil, lingering from ancient times, truly felt.

Even the most mentally resolute warriors found their teeth chattering at this moment.

“Leave this place, Naris! The Evil God here is breaking its seals!

It still holds a portion of its power; if we aim for our opponents, even if we emerge victorious, the losses will be grievous!”

Upon witnessing this, Rabiao Hammer immediately gestured to prepare for evacuation; the emergence of the Eye of Chaos and Death was beyond what he could endure.

This clan leader of the Barbarian Hammer Tribe was not lacking in wisdom.

Naris Copper Hammer also nodded in complete agreement; it was extremely unwise to confront an ancient Evil God still retaining some of its power in a city whose assets were unknown.

“Alright, prepare to retreat…”

However, just as the dwarves were making preparations to retreat, suddenly there was a brilliant glow in the sky, and then, around the Eye of Chaos and Death, five ethereal figures appeared.

An armor, a longsword, a longbow–and then there was a crystal ball radiating with auras of death and destruction, and finally–a war hammer.

Five weapons, each with an aura above it that set hearts racing.

An uncontrollable thought rose in everyone’s minds–Divine Artifacts.

That was the aura of Divine Artifacts…

And there were actually five Divine Artifacts inside Risier City!!

The professionals who had been ready to flee now halted in their steps, their gazes fervently fixed on the sky.

If they could get one of them… their destiny would have been rewritten directly.

The allure of a Divine Artifact was a thousand times, ten thousand times more tempting than becoming Nobles, becoming Spellcasters, possessing countless Gold Pucks, and so on!

That was a Divine Artifact!!!

The Dwarves even stopped preparing to leave, their attention unconcerned with the other four Divine Artifacts, everyone’s gaze fixed intensely on the phantom image of the hammer.

“That’s the Forging Hammer??” Nalis Copper Hammer’s eyes widened to the extreme, his voice dry and hoarse.

“In the ancient Battle of the Gods, the first generation Forge God fell, and the Forging Hammer disappeared with him.

Although the current Forge God had recast a Forging Hammer, compared to the Forging Hammer that once ranked in the top five of the Divine Artifacts, it was still somewhat inferior.

So… is this Forging Hammer real??”

After Nalis finished speaking, he exchanged a look with Rabiao, and both saw shock in each other’s eyes.

Rabiao took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly.

“I feel it, my Bloodline is responding to that Divine Artifact that belongs to our Dwarf race!!

Nalis… Is your Bloodline echoing the Forging Hammer??”

As the exclusive Divine Artifact of Dwarves, the Forging Hammer possessed endless might, and Dwarves also had a trait, which was a natural sensitivity to this Divine Artifact.

Therefore, in Dwarf mythology, there was also a legend that the Dwarves were creatures given life by the Forge God with the Forging Hammer.

“I feel it too, my Bloodline is boiling at this moment…”

Nalis Copper Hammer suddenly turned his head to look at the Dwarf goat cavalry behind him, all Dwarves’ expressions at this moment becoming full of longing and fervor; it was clear that everyone sensed the Divine Artifact belonging to the Dwarves, no Dwarf could remain as before.

“Send the order down, prepare to siege!!!”

Nalis Copper Hammer roared.

“The Forging Hammer reappears, the glorious epoch belonging to the Dwarves is about to come once more!!

My clanspeople, that is our Divine Artifact!!

No one can steal our treasure from the hands of Dwarves!!

Even if it means the burial of all Dwarves here today, we too, do not! spare! any! price!”

With an excited and determined tone echoing above the Dwarf Army.

The Dwarf Army instantly boiled with enthusiasm.

“For the Dwarves!!!”

“For the Dwarves!!!”

The terrifying roars almost shattered the warriors’ shields.

Boom boom boom~
Immediately following this, the massive Dwarf Army charged towards Risier City from their original retreat position, without a hint of hesitation.

The war had undergone an immediate transformation without anyone realizing.

The Dwarves had entered the battle.

The Beastmen in Risier City were already having some difficulty dealing with the sudden attack by the Human Army, and now the anger of Beastmen flared up again as the north side of the city walls set up siege engines.

These damned shorties, why leave the underground mining to come to Risier City??!

The Dwarves didn’t seem to carry too much siege equipment, but relying on their superlative forging skills, they promptly dismantled the siege engines and catapults and brought them along.

They were assembled immediately.

The scene was quite magical, as the dwarves, who originally lacked the ability to besiege, suddenly had dozens of catapults appear within their ranks, as well as tower carriages and scaling ladders.

The efficiency of the dwarves left the two players following in their midst dumbfounded. Indeed, there wasn’t a single race in Glory that was simple.

“Pass the order, have the catapults smash the city walls!”

Naris Copper Hammer bellowed orders to the dozens of catapults set up behind him.

“I need a path for the cavalry to charge through!”

Using cavalry in a siege?

Although the statement was strange, if one looked across all of Glory, apart from the Sky Cavalry, the only other cavalry that could play a role in a siege were the dwarves’ goat cavalry.

Because they could launch an attack on the city walls.

As long as the goats had a foothold, the goat cavalry could charge directly from the ground into the city walls.

It simply defied all logic.

With the temptation of that ghostly image of the Forging Hammer in the sky, the efficiency of the dwarves reached unprecedented heights.

Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
The urgency of the dwarves sparked the battle on the north side of the city walls in an extremely short amount of time.

Huge boulders hurled from the catapults smashed against the city walls–boom–the hard walls cracked like a spiderweb after the impact.

Strangely, these boulders did not target the Beastmen on top of the city walls but instead directly bombarded the exterior of the walls.

Boom~
Stones relentlessly thrown out chaotically flew about, creating small and large holes in the solid exterior walls of Risier City.

At this moment, the Beastmen within the city were also retaliating fiercely, with huge stones continuously crashing into the dwarven army’s formation, carving long and bloody paths.

The catapults had a range of nearly 600 blades, and aside from ballistas, neither side’s archers could reach the other, so they could only engage in a purely catapult bombardment.

However, the dwarves felt fortunate that the human attack had drawn the main attention of Risier City, meaning they faced less pressure–at least no Double-legged Flying Dragons appeared in the sky.

At the eastern city walls, under the will of Duke O’Kelly of the humans, the fierce attack continued, turning the city walls and the earth blood-red after two Sunshine Hours of combat.

Bodies and limbs were everywhere.

The battlements of Risier City had been leveled by the catapults.

The towering Tower Carriages unceasingly transported warriors to the top of the city walls, and with the advantage of a preemptive strike, the outermost walls were already overtaken by the human army by more than half.

The Beastmen resisted ferociously, but how could the all-in attack launched by Duke O’Kelly, who had mobilized the elite of the entire southern province, be a joke?

Large numbers of Level 10 elite troops filled the ranks, and Level 15 top Professionals were not uncommon, their fearless qualities inflicting the Beastmen with the painful memory of being trapped in the barren wastelands for tens of thousands of years, unable to leave.

And just as the battle was at its most tense, a terrifyingly indescribable wave of magic burst from the human camp.

Moments later, a red fire cloud appeared above Risier City.

Four Circle large Composite Magic–Meteor Fire Rain.

Then, from within that colorful cloud, countless fireballs fell like raindrops, dense and numerous.

Thump~
The fireballs, carrying terrifying heat, exploded upon hitting the ground, sending up skies full of sparks, igniting the wooden houses inside the city instantly. Any Beastman struck didn’t even survive for a second more.

But, eerily, no significant counterattack from the Beastmen’s Shaman Army was seen by the human troops, only a few scattered Shamans casting spells in resistance, but their spells seemed apprentice-level in strength.

The spellcasters of Risier City didn’t seem intent on supporting the extremely difficult city wall defenses.

With the help of the Mage lords, the desperate battle situation immediately changed, and the already unstable city wall defenses were breached by the human army.

Within twenty minutes, the walls were completely under human control.

But this was far from the end.

Risier City was very large, and no one knew how many troops the Beastman Prince had gathered here over the past two years.

So although humanity had stormed into Risier City, the even more brutal and cruel alley battles had merely just begun.

The armies on both sides were fearless and resolute in battle, slaughtering each other directly with no avenue of retreat to speak of.

There was only advancement, to exterminate the enemies in front!

The will of Duke O’Kelly was the direction this army was advancing, and the Beastmen would never surrender or admit defeat!!

There is only the fight to the death!

At this moment, at the center of Risier City, in front of the pit where the Divine relic lay, Beastman Prince Shahrarm Furious Blood Roar was watching as the altar was gradually revealing its true form.

Next to the black altar, hundreds of Shamans were casting spells to unlock the seals imposed by the ancient inscriptions on the Divine relic.

“Your Highness!! Human troops have breached the city, and their magic is too powerful, we have suffered heavy losses!!

And the northern city wall is under Dwarf attack, we need reinforcements!!”

A Beastman Military Governor, his face smeared with dirt, reported to Shahrarm, his shattered armor and the blood still emitting heat were testament to just how fierce the recent battle was.

But at this moment, Shahrarm was not paying attention to these details, his gaze fixed firmly on the dark altar.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a cold voice.

“Send the orders down, dispatch the Wolf Cavalry, all Beastmen fight to the death!!

We only need to wait for three Sunshine Hours!!

After three Sunshine Hours, all enemies shall turn to ashes!

I, shall inherit the power of the Divine, and be crowned king!!”

“As you command, Your Highness!”

The Beastman Military Governor struck his chest fiercely, saluted, and then without any hesitation, turned and left.

With three Sunshine Hours, given the massive Beastman army inside Risier City, even 10 Sunshine Hours wouldn’t be enough for them to breach the core area.

At this moment, a Werewolf Priest, who was silently watching everything, looked at Prince Shahrarm with a somewhat indifferent expression, then gestured to the somewhat dull Shadow High Priest Emi next to him after a moment.

“Your Highness, the Divine power inside this Vampire might be able to expedite the unlocking of the seal…”

Shahrarm, who had five octopus-like tendrils on his chin, frowned upon hearing this and glanced at Emi who was bound by Magic Prohibition Chains.

“Are you sure he won’t cause trouble? Now, we are only one step away!”

“Your Highness, this Vampire is now under our control, nothing will go wrong,”
“Good, Vampire, go break the seal, remember, your life is in your own hands, after the seal is opened, I will let you go…”

Before he could finish his words, a terrifyingly fearsome aura swept in from the distance, making even the Eye of Chaos and Eye of Death in the sky, which had been exerting pressure, pause for a moment.

Shahrarm quickly raised his head to look outside Risier City, and saw several gigantic pits appear in the sky beyond the city, from which countless withered bones poured out and fell to the ground.

“Undead??!!”

Shahrarm’s complexion subtly changed, he wasn’t afraid of Dwarves, and he had ways to deal with humans, but he had never anticipated that he would invoke the Undead from the once Radiant Empire.

These calamities were definitely not simple existences, their Skeleton Sea could flatten Risier City.

When Shahrarm turned his head again, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before, his voice carrying a trace of urgency.

“Quick!! Unlock the relic at the fastest speed!!!”

Upon hearing this, Emi, who had been motionless, suddenly stirred, and right as he was about to act, a powerful force swept over his soul, and for a fleeting moment, his spirit trapped by the unknown power caught its breath and his eyes regained a moment of clarity.

“Your Majesty??!!”

“Emi, hold on for one Sunshine Hour, I will personally lead the army of dawn to descend…”
