Chapter 624 The Appearance Of A Third Army
Reign and the others tried their best to catch up to any groups that were nearby in order to eliminate them before they were able to get to the wall. The total number of demons was larger compared to the number of players, which meant that they needed to try their best in order to lower the number of demons that would arrive at the wall.
They had the advantage when it came to the Tier III combatants thanks to the monster army, not to mention that the monsters didn’t fear death and would simply charge and kill anything in front of them during battle, but the demons didn’t fear death either, which meant that the players would be heavily pressed during the battle.
Reign and the others didn’t know exactly how many Tier III demons would be present at the wall, but they estimated that the minimum number would still be over 1000 of them. If that was it, then it would be fine as 1000 Tier III demons would stand no chance against the combined might of the player army and the monsters, but there would definitely be more.
Beast had taken out his flying monsters in order to have a view of the surrounding area, which helped them a lot when it came to locating nearby groups of demons. In total, Reign and the others had come across and slaughtered 3 more groups after the initial two, killing over 4 000 demons in total and barely losing any people.
That alone was impressive, but there were still more that were making their way over to the wall, not to mention that the largest bases were the closest ones to the wall, each one having about 1000 demons inside of it.
The total number of demons that would be present at the wall would probably be around 7 000 β 8 000 demons, which was many times larger compared to their own army. The sheer number of demons was enough to put heavy pressure on and potentially kill the army, but Reign and the others were not without a plan.
Upon thinking more, the Tier III combatants they possessed would end up being more or less the same as the ones on the side of the demons, which meant they wouldn’t be able to gain an advantage in that area.
The number of Tier IV combatants they had was higher compared to the demons, but not overwhelmingly higher. With Reign present, he could use his transformation to quickly kill multiple Tier IV demons before forcing back the strongest ones, but the transformation wouldn’t last long and Reign would be severely weakened after that.
That wouldn’t be good, as even though they would gain a massive advantage at the very start if there really were demons that were able to defend against Reign in his transformed state, which although was very unlikely, would mean that the rest would be hard pressed to fight against them after Reign was out of the equation.
They thought of many things they could potentially do in order to narrow the difference between the players and the demons until one of them told them not to worry and made them remember something they had actually almost forgotten. With that in mind, they all continued forward, their confidence high once again.
Upon coming to the wall, Reign and the others were able to see a massive army of demons in front of them. To Reign, it was nothing much, back in Riplas, he had battled against an army of millions, so the sight in front of him, an army of about 10 000 demons, was nothing special.
Of course, if he was to compare the difference in power this army had compared to the one back in Riplas, it wouldn’t even be close as the over 20 Tier IV demons could cut through the demonic army back there with ease, not mention the many Tier III demons that were present as well.
As they got closer to the demons, the players could see the ferocious smiles the demons had. Seeing as how the humans dared come here with an army of only 2 500 made them all snicker as they had four times as many fighters here.
Had they not been found out, then the demons would have been afraid of the powerful army, but now after they had all banded together, they were fearsome. There were still more groups that were making their way over here, not to mention that this was only from the nearby bases.
The demons had over a hundred bases in the mountain range, and there were tens of thousands of demons from each tribe present, perhaps even over a hundred thousand. Still, most of them were weak and wouldn’t really be of help here.
As Reign and the others arrived near the wall, they stopped and stared at the army that was some 400 meters away from them. The players had all clenched their weapons and were staring at the demons while the monsters were simply looking at them like they were prey.
“To come here with such an army, I do not know whether to call you brave, or simply foolish.” One demon suddenly spoke as he levitated above the other demons thanks to the wings on his back.
By glancing at him, Reign and the others could sense that he was a high-grade Tier IV demon, probably a leader of one of the tribes. Reign concentrated and tried sensing the others, only to find that there was one more high-grade Tier IV combatant amongst them, the others were all mid-grade or low-grade Tier IVs, which was good news.
Without using his transformation, Reign was confident that he could fight against one high-grade Tier IV demon, he perhaps wouldn’t be able to defeat him, but he could hold his ground until the others finished their battles and came to help him.
Reign simply smirked at the demons before taking out his two swords.
“Sorry buddy, but we haven’t come all this way to talk with you.” Reign said as he pointed his sword at the demon before glancing to the side and nodding his head.
“I see, you feel confident because there are more Tier IV beings on your side, but you should know that numbers mean little when faced against overwhelming power, still, you dare spout such words.” The demon said with an angry face before more Tier IVs arrived near him.
“This shall be your burial site, human, I should thank you for coming over here and letting us kill you, therefore ending the thorn in our side.” The demon said before nodding his head, after which the demons cried out in a cry of war before charging at Reign and the others.
“Time to show us how strong they have become, buddy.” Reign said as one of them nodded before walking three steps to the front.
He opened his arms wide and smirked at the demons before silently speaking, “Immortal Legion, come to me.” .π°πΌπΊ
Multiple wormholes suddenly appeared on both of Tank’s sides before joining together to form large wormholes.
Four figures appeared next to Tank, each one a peak Tier III combatant while over 4 000 soldiers marched from the wormholes.
The demons stopped in shock as they stared at the soldiers that were coming out. Their blue, seemingly ethereal bodies were covered in old and cracked armor, but the mana they were releasing made it clear that they were not to be taken lightly.
Because there was no need for it, Tank hadn’t summoned his immortal legion for a long time, but he always made sure to check up on them and see how they were doing. The four generals had died a couple of times, but they would revive each time, although weaker than before as they would lose 5 levels with each death.
The army they had formed grew each day and now they had over 6 000 soldiers, but only 4 000 were eligible to join the fight as they were Tier II and above.
With an army that was even larger than the combined army of the players and monsters entering the battlefield, the situation was flipped. The demons now had fewer Tier III combatants as the immortal legion had about 1000 of them, an incredible number that was enough to even go against Doncaster.
Of course, the soldiers were a bit weaker compared to the players on average, but they had a couple of unique characters amongst them whose loyalty was high and would be resurrected upon death as well. The number of peak Tier III soldiers was pitifully small compared to the player army, but this was enough to even out the odds.
“Attack!” Tank shouted as his soldiers charged at the demons. The players and the monsters didn’t wait either and charged as well. The demons were stupefied by the sudden change, but they had nowhere to go, not to mention that they still had an advantage when it came to numbers as there were about 3 500 more of them.
They charged as well while Reign and the other Tier IV combatants quickly moved as well as they didn’t wish to fight the Tier IV demons near the players. Luckily for them, the demons had the same thoughts and were behind their army, leaving a large area for them to battle at.
