In a matter of minutes, the blood-red wave had arrived before the pass. Demon Generals of Saint Domain level led the line as they jumped toward the Beast People Empire army at the gateway to start the siege.
“Attack!”
The Beast Emperor swung his longsword!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Their attacks were like a massive thunderstorm that turned the demon generals into sieves. Before the defending Beast People Empire could catch their breath, countless demon soldiers carried on with their charge toward the gates...
Just like that, a charge led to a counter-attack!
Under the Beast People Empire army’s strong-willed resistance, the demons could not break through for quite a while.
In this situation, a half-deity level Demon Overlord soared into the sky and let out a deafening roar.
“Roar!”
A mighty demonic aura erupted and pressed toward the Beast People Empire army. Upon sensing this threatening might, the Beast People Empire army panicked.
“Half-deities!!”
“This is a half-deity demon!”
“Damn it! How are we going to stop that?”
The empire officials were close to breaking down—they could stop ordinary demon soldiers and demon generals with their advantage in Beast God Pass even if there were more of them. However, how were they supposed to stop half-deities?
What distressed them the most was that after the first Demon Overlord came out, the second one, the third one, the fourth one, the fifth one...
In an instant, hundreds of Demon Overlords were up in the sky as they charged toward the Beast God Pass.
Demonic might that covered every expanse of land pressed upon the Beast God Pass like a mountain.
“O my Beast God!”
“So many half-deities?”
“It’s all over!”
“We’re dead meat!”
“We can’t compete with them at all!”
The Beast People Empire army, with over a billion in numbers, lost all of their morale. They could not fight one half-deity already, not to mention so many half-deities here!
How were they supposed to survive?
“Gone! Beast People Empire is finished!”
The Beast Emperor’s face turned pale as he limped onto the ground, his words of courage just had collapsed.
He knew deep inside that there was no hope of winning against hundreds of half-deities, not to mention the endless demon army.
One sentence—The Beast People Empire was finished!
“Kill!”
Hundreds of Demon Overlords charged at the gates of the Beast God Pass. Some spat red hot lava, some spat white chilly currents, and some spat gleaming wind blades.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
After a round of offense, the ten regiments of the empire were either burnt into ashes or frozen into ice sculptures...
In an instant, there was already a large number of casualties.
“Too powerful!”
“They’re way too powerful!”
“We are just no match against them!”
At the sight of this scene, the remaining empire army was shrouded in an endless feeling of despair, losing all hope and their willingness to fight.
When facing such terrifying Demon Overlords, how could they have won? Even if the Beast God descended now, the chances of defeating these Demon Overlords were close to none.
“It’s my fault! It’s all my fault!” The iron entered the Beast Emperor’s soul. “If I had submitted to the Meng Lei Empire earlier, then it might not have turned out like this!
“I have failed the Beast People Empire! I have failed to protect all of my citizens!”
Chapter 271: A Spike In Wealth, A True God Melee
A dozen or so figures floated in the sky a short distance away from the Beast God Pass. Among them were Behemoths, Fox-Men, Tiger-Men, Lion-Men, Taurens...
There was a strong, forceful aura around every one of them, and they gave off vast, majestic divine power—evidently, they were all half-deities.
That’s right, they were half-deities of the Beast People Empire. They were currently here at the Beast God Pass in hopes that they could aid the empire’s army in eliminating the threat of the demon invasion.
However, all of them had become rather hesitant as they watched the hundreds of Demon Overlords that had suddenly come charging out.
With that many half-deity-level Demon Overlords there, wouldn’t they just be throwing their lives away in vain if they also charged toward them?
A Tiger-Man half-deity asked hoarsely, “What should we do?”
The others had only silence as a response. None of them knew how they should answer him.
The Tiger-Man half-deity couldn’t help but turn to a Nine-Tailed Fox-Woman. He said, “Fawkes, you’re the wisest and cleverest among us. Hurry and think of something!”
The other half-deities also turned to the Nine-Tailed Fox-Woman, their eyes filled with hope and anticipation.
“The demon army is attacking with a vengeance, and on top of that, there are even several hundred half-deities among them. Even if we were to fight them, it would be no different from us fighting a hopeless battle.”
The Nine-Tailed Fox-Woman let out a faint sigh and said, “Besides, I can also sense an intimidating aura coming from the demon army—in other words, there are true god-level presences among them!”
The others couldn’t help but let out an exclamation of shock at her words.
The Nine-Tailed Fox-Woman was a pinnacle-level half-deity that was only a step—establishing a divine nation—short of becoming a true god. The only thing that could possibly intimidate her was a true god!
“Yes, true gods!”
The Nine-Tailed Fox-Woman looked in the direction of the demon army and said, “The demon invasion this time is definitely much more fearsome than what we had initially thought. We are powerless against it.”
Awful looks came over the other half-deities’ countenances. They asked, “What should we do, then? Surely we can’t just watch helplessly as the empire falls?”
The Nine-Tailed Fox-Woman closed her eyes painfully and replied, “Now that things have come to this, we only have
