After three months of testing, the demons officially launched their invasion of the Kingdom of Manitoba and the Aztec Empire at the end of August.
In September of the same year, with the mediation of the Church of Truth, the Apocalypse God System and the True God System ceased war, and various parties formed an alliance to jointly resist the ancient gods.
In mid-October, the first Allied regiment arrived in the Aztec Empire, joined forces with Edward, Luca, Rokin and other Church of Truth troops, and faced the monster army led by Freya in the northern city of Chihuahua.
In November, the Allied forces were unable to withstand the day and night offensive of the Monster Legion. They abandoned Chihuahua and retreated to Hidalgo. They encountered a sneak attack midway and suffered heavy losses.
In December, the Allied forces once again increased their troops, and Secura visited the battlefield in person.
In January of the following year, the Seventy-Two Pillars of Demons launched a winter offensive, bypassing Durango, heading south all the way to Mexico City. Securula urgently returned to defense, and the important frontline town of Durango was defeated.
This failure was entirely caused by a lack of manpower. Although Seokula, Luca, Edward, and Luo Jin all had the strength of three awakenings, the number of the seventy-two demon gods was too much. If they were to divide their troops and garrison them, they would definitely be defeated one by one.
If they are defeated, if they unite, they will be attacked in the east and west, and they will be unable to do anything.
As a last resort, Theracula could only ask for help from the Allies again. This time, Merlin and Serafina arrived in the Aztec Empire and severely damaged the monster army in Zacatecas, ending the winter offensive.
As soon as the war situation in the Aztec Empire stabilized, bad news came again. Ottawa, the capital of the Kingdom of Manitoba, fell, and a large number of industrial areas and farmland fell into the hands of the devil.
"I finally understand! These demons are not willing to confront us head-on! They just want to use their numerical advantage to overwhelm us!"
At the joint Allied meeting, Anatole, who had just recovered from his injury, roared angrily: "We defend the Aztec Empire, and they will go north to attack Ottawa. If we support Ottawa, they will turn around and attack the Aztec Empire!"
"
"They are divided into two groups. It seems that one is real and the other is fictitious, but in fact the fictitious and real are in harmony with each other. If we focus on defending Ottawa, then attacking the Aztec Empire will be the main force, and vice versa." General Makarov said in a solemn tone: "This
It’s all because of the disparity in numbers. We have too few top combat forces, so we can only be led by their noses..."
The atmosphere in the room was very dull, and there was no joy on everyone's face. The front line was retreating steadily, not to mention how useless they were. In addition, the supplies that continued to support the front line put a considerable burden on all countries. The key is to spend money.
If things are not done, it is already a bit like slow death!
When things have developed to this point, everyone understands that the fall of the Aztec Empire is a foregone conclusion. Although the Kingdom of Manitoba did not receive support from the Allies, because of the construction of the fortress, it was better to resist the monster army than the Aztec Empire, which received a large amount of support.
The Ztec Empire had an easy time, fighting for half a year and only losing a few southern cities bordering the United States of Citi.
On the other hand, in the Aztec Empire, even if the Allied forces continued to increase their troops, they still could not stop the invasion of the monster army. Several large-scale battles ended in failure, and an unknown amount of manpower and material resources were consumed!
"In recent times, the ancient gods' offensive has suddenly slowed down. They actually retreated and returned Durango, an important northern town, to us..."
William V was very puzzled by this.
"They changed their tactics." Napoleon said suddenly: "At first, they wanted to capture the Aztec Empire and the Kingdom of Manitoba as quickly as possible, but the six months of offensive made them realize that blitzkrieg was not that easy.
So we changed our strategy and started a war of attrition."
"The daily cost of the frontline army is an astronomical figure. No matter how many resources or troops we invest, it will not cause too much splash. On the other hand, looking at the ancient gods' forces, the more monsters die, the stronger they will become. The bottom layer
There are as many monsters as you want, if this continues, we will be the first to be unable to hold on!"
Caesar agreed very much with Napoleon's judgment. He also saw the clues and couldn't help but sigh: "These devils are really smart..."
War means burning money. Supporting the Aztec Empire is fundamentally different from defending the homeland. People can protect their homeland and their own country at all costs, but it is difficult for them to be generous and help other countries.
Once the economy collapses, the demons will immediately pounce on them and eat them up.
Giving up on the Aztec Empire seems to be a must-do, even though there are abundant resources there, it can only be given up.
No one objects to the proposal of retreat, but how can retreat be so easy?
The Allied forces sent to the Aztec Empire numbered at least 200,000. According to the fastest retreat speed, and all teleportation magic circles and ships were used, the retreat would take three days and three nights. During this period, if the devil
Sensing their intentions, they suddenly attacked...
The consequences could be disastrous!
In order to cover the Allied retreat, Napoleon proposed the Chihuahua Plan.
The content of the plan was very simple. Led by Seecula, the Allied forces launched a fierce attack on Chihuahua, catching the demons off guard and evacuating as quickly as possible while they returned for reinforcements.
This plan was approved by everyone, but...
When Seokula led his army to attack Chihuahua, he found that the seventy-two demon gods were waiting for him on the only way.
The originally planned sneak attack plan immediately turned into a breakout battle. In the end, the Allied forces withdrew from the Aztec Empire at the cost of tens of thousands of casualties.
"How do they know what the plan is?!"
When Anatole learned about this, he was furious and suspected that there were demon spies inside. However, only the top leaders of the Allied Forces knew the contents of the plan. Apart from the kings, only gods like them were left!
Neither the king nor the god of faith could leak the plan to the ancient gods. So the question is, how did the ancient gods know that the Allies would launch a counterattack?
"These idiots are actually here."
Freya put an ancient book on the table and sneered disdainfully.
The ancient book was sent by Arabis, and it was called The Art of War. It seemed to be the product of an error in the deduction process and was born accidentally.
Nereida uses the power of the apocalypse to speculate on the future, and Arabi uses his own Kingdom of God to deduce. With the baseboard made according to the real world, of course, you can get an experience beyond the present.
After the Allied forces withdrew, the forces of the ancient gods easily occupied the Aztec Empire and launched a massacre against the Doomsday Party. Anyone who was related to the Doomsday Party or who did not report their knowledge would be slaughtered.
Except for the United States of America, which was the first to surrender, the Aztec Empire almost turned into a purgatory on earth. Anyone who refused to surrender became food for the monsters. Countless houses collapsed, and the monsters raged in the city, venting their long-suppressed emotions.
desire.
The Kingdom of Manitoba is lucky because it built a large number of fortresses, which successfully delayed the attack of the monsters. Coupled with the fall of the Aztec Empire and the support sent by the Allies, the ancient god forces seemed to have temporarily given up the invasion.
, and began to rest.
"Master, we have captured Mexico City, please review..."
A gargoyle walked in front of Belial with a flattering face, its gray-blue skin clinging to its bones, and its stooped figure, leading Belial into Mexico City.
The previously prosperous capital has become a ruin. From time to time, the roars of men and the screams of women and babies can be heard in the blazing flames. Monsters are running around in the streets. Broken limbs and broken legs can be seen everywhere. The carnival is not over yet.
Belial was walking slowly and saw with his own eyes a demon wolf biting the leg of a pregnant woman and dragging her out of the ruins. Ignoring the fists of the pregnant woman, it tore open her full belly with its fangs and bit out a bloody
, the unformed baby.
Bang, bang, bang...
The baby's fragile bones are like some kind of puffed food, which has become the devil wolf's favorite snack, and he eats it happily.
Click...
Subtle footsteps sounded behind his head. Thinking that his companion was trying to snatch his prey, the demonic wolf turned its bloody head, bared its teeth, and let out a threatening growl, but when it saw clearly who was coming...
He immediately clamped his tail, retracted his fangs, lowered his head with clear eyes, and let out a flattering whimper.
Belial looked at the pregnant woman who fell on the ground. She was not dead yet. She looked to the side with her head helplessly, her eyes were desperate, and a few tears quietly shed. She had already accepted her fate.
"Master? Master...."
The cry of the gargoyle woke up Beryl, who was in a daze. When he lowered his head, he saw that the other party was holding up the half-length baby with two thin and slender arms, smiling fawningly, and offering it to him like a treasure.
"Master, please."
The demon wolf on the side licked the blood on his lips, looking forward to Belial enjoying its prey.
Staring at the baby's body, Belial suddenly twisted his head for no apparent reason and became irritable.
"Get away!"
"Yes Yes..."
Seeing that its owner was angry, the gargoyle quickly lowered its eyebrows and stepped aside holding the baby's body. It didn't know what happened to its owner and why it was angry?
Could it be because the demon wolf ate half of the baby?
It must be so. How can something that the owner likes be enjoyed first?
Are there any rules anymore?
Silver-white mud rose from the ground and condensed into the enchanting figure of a woman. Freya came.
"Master, there is news from Flush. They are ready. Please..."
Freya suddenly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Belial frowned and looked very irritated. Next to him was a pregnant woman whose stomach was cut open, only half of the baby's body was left, and a demonic wolf with an innocent face.
"Take this thing away! Hurry!"
Freya glared at the ignorant gargoyle, waved her arm, and raised a cloud of sand to cover the pregnant woman. She also called a few commander-level monsters: "Gather the remaining humans and send them to other cities!"
A burly, furry snow ape scratched his head and said doubtfully: "According to the rules, conquering a city should lead to a three-day party, and this is only the first day..."
Snapped!
Snow Monkey's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon, shook twice, and fell to the ground without a sound.
Freya shook off the blood stains on her hands and said coldly, "Who has any questions?"
The remaining commanders turned around and left, scared out of their wits.
It’s okay to have questions. The key is whether the person asking the question has a high enough status.
As a commander under his command, how could he have the courage to question the decision of the Four Supreme Pillars?
The responsibility of subordinates is to execute orders, not to give a hundred thousand reasons why.
Soon, the surviving humans in the city were gathered together. Mexico is also a big city. Even after a massacre, there are still hundreds of thousands of survivors. They are trembling and waiting for death to come.
"Send them to the assembly area!"
Freya did not kill them, but sent them to the gathering place prepared by the ancient god's forces for humans.
Eating humans who can gather a lot of spirituality can increase their strength, but there is a limit to everything. If you eat without restraint, what can you not finish?
If you raise them in a planned way, you will have an inexhaustible supply.
After Freya gave the order, Belial's frown relaxed and his mood gradually calmed down.
"Master, what's wrong?" Butis asked strangely: "I've never gotten angry without any warning before..."
"That's because there is still a soul inside the master."
"Mavi Enders?" Botis asked in surprise: "Can he have an influence on the master?"
"After all, he is the previous user of the owner's body. After using it for so long, it is natural for it to leave some traces. How could it not have any impact at all?"
Freya said noncommittally: "According to Father Mavey's concept, he will never watch a monster cut open the belly of a pregnant woman. Tell the people below to restrain themselves and don't go too far, so as not to make the master unhappy."
"...All right."
Botis spat out a snake message: "Master, why don't you kill that human soul?"
"Contract! Don't you know that the master signed a contract with him? Father Mawei helps the master to unlock the seal, and the master will grant him eternal life and let him return to his hometown!"
"I see..."
Botis nodded. Freya did know many secrets that it did not know. As an ancient god of contract, fulfilling the contract was the most important thing to Belial. He would not kill Mavi, but would only send him back to his hometown.
.
The reason why he is still allowed to stay in the body is because of the problem with Arabi. Although the other party has returned, it is not convenient for him to show up.
Before the contract is completed, it is better to listen to Freya and restrain yourself.
It didn't take long for the Ancient God forces, who had finished their rest, to launch an attack on the Central Continent. They wouldn't waste too much time on the Kingdom of Manitoba. With this effort, Paris could be defeated!
The first one to be affected was the Kingdom of Kalos. A large number of monsters landed at the port and attacked the city at night. Because it was a vassal state of the Cult of Abundance, Serafina rushed there overnight, and then Caesar arrived with the army of the Roman Republic.
The war continued. In addition to the Kingdom of Carlos, the First Empire of Bonaparte, the West Island of the Kingdom of Windsor, and the Southern Continent, all were invaded by monsters. The difference from the Kuroshio was that the monsters were stronger and more disciplined, and there were seventy-two
The Pillar Demon God leads the team.
Cities without fortresses were vulnerable to the onslaught of monsters. The Allied forces fought on multiple fronts. Even if they continued to explode, they could not withstand the attacks of the ancient gods. The defense lines shrank again and again, constantly moving back, and a large area of land was lost.
Another year of winter is approaching, people no longer have smiles on their faces, they have become numb and pessimistic, and spirits have become the best-selling commodity.
The constant reports of defeat coming from the front line seem to indicate the end of the world.
