Chapter 611 Black Moons Compromise, the Soldiers Arrive at the City(1/2)
Buzz buzz…
In a hidden rock crevice somewhere in the Storm Fortress continent, the engraved teleportation calibration lights up with blue light, and the power of space ripples out. Before the space fluctuations go away, it is absorbed by another layer of carefully arranged formations and disappears.
invisible.
After a while, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the crack.
"After leaving for three weeks, hurry back to the fortress to gather information. You and I will act separately."
"Um."
The two of them ran quickly, and within half a day they arrived outside the Storm Fortress, the highest point on the mainland. Before they even entered the city, Odin felt a solemn atmosphere, and there were twice as many soldiers guarding the city as usual.
"Who is outside the city? Please show your identification!"
"I am Odin, the leader of the Titan Chapter. I am out on business. This is my partner, who works in the Star Weaver Hall."
"Wait a moment, we need to verify."
The review process was very strict, and he did not relax his vigilance because he was the leader of the war group. In the end, Shyvana came over from the city defense headquarters to negotiate and let him go.
"You are finally back!"
"What's wrong? Do you have a mission for me?"
"The task is a small matter. There are many people outside, so go to my place and explain it to you in detail."
The presence of Shyvana saved them the time of searching for information. After returning to their residence, Shyvana told them everything that happened during this period.
The general situation was similar to what Odin predicted. After the death of the Green Horned King and the Crazy Horns Chapter, the fortress high-level officials concentrated the forces of five battle groups and conducted a large-scale attack on the eighth layer of the Abyss of the Forest where the Crazy Horns Chapter died.
The purge activities almost wiped out all the big and small demons familiar with the Forest Abyss.
This behavior is exactly the same as what Odin did in the fifth evil rock plane, but there is a difference in size between the two.
The Evil Rock Plane is just a small continent. Odin easily conquered it with a Titan Chapter plus Shyvana's Dragon Fang Chapter reinforcements, and not even a single wave could break through it.
However, the Abyss of Sensen is a multi-structure composite plane, and the situation is much more complicated.
There are 32 funnel-shaped Abyssal Forests in the entire plane. Each Abyssal Forest is equivalent in size to an Evil Rock Continent. It is rich in resources and has many demons. The one where the Crazy Horns Chapter once resided is just the smallest one among them.
It’s just the deep forest.
It stands to reason that Storm Fortress does not have the ability to station a war group here. The existence of the Wild Horn Chapter is a strategic concession made by the Black Moon Demon King in the hope of maintaining stability for both parties.
Unfortunately, the Evil Rock Plane was destroyed by Odin's group, and the strategic concessions did not bring satisfactory results to Black Moon, so he ordered Jisai to eliminate the Wild Horn Chapter and retaliate in kind.
At this point, the information between the two parties is no longer equal.
Because Odin was performing a simple collection mission, putting a layer of disguise on the extinction of the Evil Rock Plane, the senior management of Storm Fortress unanimously believed that the Black Moon Demon King was going crazy, breaking the balance of the abyss, and testing the bottom line of Storm Fortress.
On this tone, the fortress organized five thousand-man battle groups, with as many as five thousand extraordinary beings above level 10, to invade the Forest of Abyss.
Five thousand people doesn't sound like a lot, but after a little calculation of strength, you'll know.
Levels 10 to 15 correspond to demon lords, and demon lords correspond to the earth. What is the concept of five thousand earth knights?
After the five war groups arrived at the eighth floor, they gathered together and pushed through the Abyss Forest in order.
The unique funnel shape has become a tomb of despair for the demons. As long as you guard the top of the funnel, you can ensure that no fish slips through the net, and accordingly, there is no need for reinforcements.
In this way, they cleared each one one by one, until they cleared the 16th one, other Abyss Forest finally discovered their actions, so the remaining demons united to fight.
During the joint process, the battle group destroyed two abysses in succession and then took the opportunity to escape without giving them a chance to counterattack.
This raid is still far from the mission goal. The main problems lie in two points.
The first is that they misjudged the demon's strength. Although the five battle groups are numerous and can crush any abyss, they cannot withstand a wheel battle.
Long-term, high-intensity fighting will inevitably lead to a decline in combat effectiveness, and this cannot be changed even with medication supplements.
It is best to dispatch ten battle groups and operate in two directions.
The second problem is that we don’t understand the Abyss. There are two Abysses that are twins and are connected by underground tunnels, which leads to the leak of the news.
Immediately after discovering that the news was leaked, Deputy City Lord Qingtian, who was leading the team, immediately ordered some of his manpower to deploy a cross-border magic circle, while the other manpower went all out to attack and involve the devil's energy.
In the end, eighteen abysses were wiped out with a small number of casualties, and more than half of the demons on the eighth plane were wiped out.
Although it was far from the target of total annihilation, the effect of shocking the Black Moon Demon King was undoubtedly achieved.
All in all, it can be called a successful raid.
In order to avoid the Black Moon Demon King's retaliation, the fortress evacuated a large number of battle groups stationed outside, leaving only the necessary resource points in the first three planes.
In addition, an announcement was issued in the city to remind private groups who go to collect in the wild to try not to leave the Skeleton Continent.
When things have come to this point, the fortress still has hope in Abyss, believing that Black Moon will calm down and seriously weigh the strength and battle losses of both sides, and stop in time.
For this reason, the fortress also sent someone to deliver a message to Netherworld Island, meaning that the two sides should sit down and talk. After all, a stalemate and a cold war would not benefit anyone.
The news reaches Heiyue as expected, but will he agree? Can he let it go?
The loss of one Evil Rock Plane was okay and had little impact on the recruitment of the main army, but this raid directly led to the disappearance of resources and population comparable to the volume of eighteen Evil Rock Planes, adding up to a total loss of nineteen Evil Rock Planes.
Can this be tolerated?
Do you know what a bad impact this had on his demon army?
If you want to conquer a place, you need a steady stream of demon soldiers to break through the defense line without fear of death, so the supply of soldiers is crucial to the demon army.
This kind of loss is enough to break Black Moon's muscles and bones.
"So what is the situation now? Will Black Moon continue to fight back or stop?" Odin asked.
"Not sure, because it's only been two weeks since the raid ended, and there's no reply from Netherworld Island, so..."
Shyvana shrugged and said, "Anyway, we'd better not leave the fortress at will until the dust settles."
"Of course, it's rare to have a rest."
"Tasia can't rest. Everyone is worried about the coming war, so they are rushing to buy resources. Free people can spend a sum and return to their own planes. Those of us with positions are not so lucky!"
"Ah! Then I have to report back to the Xingwei Hall as soon as possible. You can continue chatting. I'm leaving first!"
Before leaving, Tasia glanced between the two of them inadvertently, as if she knew what they were going to do next, and left with a strange look on her face.

Inside the floating island
The three quasi-demon king-level commanders were all present, waiting for the demon lord's orders.
"Steve, please report the overall situation of the army."
"yes."
The strongest Steve bowed slightly to the black mist, and then told the specific situation of the main force.
"The demon army stationed on Netherworld Island retreated from the battlefields of three dimensions, and its number is about two million.
There are 200,000 demon generals and above, including demon generals, and the rest are demon pawns."
"If your lord wants to attack the Ella continent, these manpower are enough, but the loss of troops after the war will take longer to recover.
During this recovery time, we are in a weak position against Storm Keep."
The advantage of Abyss lies in the number of low-level demons, and it has a large number of low-priced demons.
The advantage of the fortress is that it has gathered elite extraordinary people from all planes, and its high-end combat power is stronger.
The two sides barely maintained a balance.
But if a large number of demon soldiers from the main force of the Abyss are lost on the continent of Ella, then both sides will lose balance.
In fact, it doesn't matter if there is a short-term imbalance. There are ten planes in the Black Moon. A part of the demons from each plane are recruited to replenish it, and it will soon return to a balanced state with little impact.
But now the Evil Rock Plane needs to start from scratch, and it’s hard to say when it will recover. Most of the Abyss of Forests has been destroyed, and the rest will definitely not be available for deployment.
And the Abyss of Forest Plane is the largest source of troops, so the balance cannot be restored in a short time, and the risk index increases exponentially.
"What about the three defeated planes?" Black Moon changed her mind, hoping to replenish some troops from other places.
"Sir, those three planes have not been polluted for long, and have not even been accepted by the will of the abyss. Naturally, they cannot provide additional demons."
"hateful!"
Black Moon couldn't help but curse.
He wanted to conquer other planes as soon as possible, gain recognition from the Will of the Abyss, and be promoted to the Evil God. He was just going all out, and when he kept working hard, suddenly the chain was broken, and no one could swallow this breath.
After being silent for a long time, the second-ranked Black Dragon spoke like crazy.
"Lord Demon King, I think the conquest of Ella Continent can be slowed down. The top priority is to contain the fortress' attack on us. They are targeting the source of the Abyss Army's strength.
If they are allowed to develop, our strength will become weaker and weaker. This plan is extremely insidious! We must come up with countermeasures!"
"It makes sense. Let Chogas come back after a while. The insect mother is there, so there won't be any problems in the rift."
After being reminded like this by his subordinates, the Black Moon Demon King completely gave up the idea of attacking the Ella continent and focused his attention on the current dispute with Storm Fortress. Not to mention fighting back, at least he must restrain Storm Fortress from continuing to take action.
After the situation calms down, some of the demons in the main army will be sent back to the plane to speed up the recovery.
To be continued...
