In addition, to deal with possible contingencies, Angelica also assigned rapid reaction forces that patrolled between the old and new defensive lines, ready to support or intercept enemies attempting to bypass the lines.

During the intense preparations, Angelica also kept track of Saltaros's progress.

Through secret communications, she learned that Saltaros had successfully infiltrated the Whispering Network and was gradually disrupting and dismantling the enemy's command system, which undoubtedly increased their chances of winning the upcoming decisive battle.

Indeed, there seemed to be a hint of madness in Saltaros's voice. Clearly, he had been infected by the whispers, and he didn't seem to realize that something was wrong with him.

Well, Angelica thought about it and felt it was normal. After all, it was a forbidden-level existence. If she simply used her abilities to intervene in the Whispering Network, there was probably no problem.

At most, one might experience some negative emotions such as irritability, impulsiveness, or madness.

But these emotions are quite common in the abyss.

Forbidden-level beings should be difficult to assimilate and corrupt. At least the Lord of Heaven was probably beaten half to death by the survival game consciousness, plus compensation.

That's probably why they were able to take advantage of the situation; it's highly likely.

However, Angelica and Lucifer still focused some of their attention on him. After all, a forbidden being like him would be a problem if he were assimilated.

Even though he was slightly weaker than the two of them, he was still a forbidden opponent, and it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

Not to mention, who knows if their strength will increase after being made indescribable? At least those Whisperers and Polluters who were completely indescribable have all increased their strength by more than one level.

......

Two days later, the sky above the abyss seemed to be shrouded in gloom. As the army of the unnamed whisperers and polluters approached, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield became oppressive and tense.

Before they could even be seen, whispers surged forth like a tide, stronger than ever before, as if tangible sound waves vibrated in the air, constantly impacting every inch of the land and the hearts of every soldier.

The whispers carried an indescribable allure and fear. Some soldiers with weaker wills began to experience symptoms such as headaches and auditory hallucinations, and a few even began to show early signs of being controlled by the whispers.

The strength of this force far exceeded everyone's expectations, and even Angelica and Lucifer felt a sense of unease.

"Strengthen morale and activate all anti-whispering devices!" Angelica swiftly issued the order, her voice piercing through the whispering interference and stabilizing the soldiers' morale.

At the same time, the research team urgently activated a series of pre-prepared mental defense devices, which formed a huge mental protective field around the defense line in an attempt to neutralize or at least reduce the effects of the whispers.

Lucifer mobilized all the rune masters, having them deploy additional rune matrices around the defensive line. These matrices could not only reflect and disrupt the whispers, but also enhance the soldiers' resistance to some extent.

Under the glow of the runes, the soldiers' expressions gradually regained their resolve, and their resistance also improved.

"Hold the line! Don't let them get close!" Lucifer's voice echoed across the battlefield as he moved through the front lines, personally commanding his troops to ensure that every point of the defense was impregnable.

As the silhouettes of the Whisperers and the army of the Polluters gradually emerge from the mist, an unprecedented battle is about to erupt.

Angelica and Lucifer stood at the forefront of the defensive line, their eyes showing no fear, only calmness and determination in the face of the impending battle.

"Prepare for the challenge," Angelica declared loudly. "We are the guardians of the abyss, and no matter what threat we face, we will not allow them to trample our land!"

Her declaration sent the morale of the entire defensive line soaring. The soldiers responded in unison, their voices coalescing into a powerful force that contrasted sharply with the whispers, showcasing the indomitable will of the abyssal creatures and their deep love for their homeland.

Amidst the commotion, Saltaros's shadow flickered in the darkness. He seemed to sense the extraordinary power of the whispers, yet a strange smile played on his lips, as if everything was within his calculations.

Amidst the whispering turmoil, a decisive battle concerning the fate of the abyss is about to unfold.

......

With the whisper-proof helmets in place and the various whisper-interference formations on the defensive line fully activated, the fear and confusion that had permeated the soldiers' hearts were replaced by a firm will.

Their eyes sharpened, and the power of the abyss within them was fully unleashed. Each warrior seemed to become an unshakeable bulwark, protecting their homeland.

The army of Whisperers and Polluters finally emerged from the mist; their numbers were vast, their forms varied, and every step they took carried an indescribable, terrifying power.

However, faced with the well-prepared Abyss Alliance, their advance seemed to become less smooth.

The battle officially broke out as the first rays of dawn pierced the sky.

The Whisperers launched the first attack, their whispers transforming into physical sonic arrows that hurtled towards the defensive line, only to be neutralized or deflected by the dense mental protective network and rune matrix.

Meanwhile, the polluters attempted to forcefully breach the defenses, but were met with a fierce counterattack from the Abyss army.

Huge fireballs, frost storms, and chains of lightning clashed across the battlefield as demon warriors brandished their weapons and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the twisted creatures.

At this moment, every soldier displayed extraordinary courage and strength, fighting not only for themselves but also for everything behind them.

Angelica and Lucifer were at the very heart of the battle, their power acting as a beacon, guiding the soldiers forward.

Angelica brandished her longsword, each strike accompanied by a tremor in space, severing the connections of countless Whisperers, while Lucifer moved through shadows and flames, his attacks like judgments from the abyss, burning away all filth.

In this epic battle, crisis after crisis was resolved, and the soldiers grew stronger in adversity. They learned how to stay true to themselves amidst a torrent of whispers and how to find an opportunity to fight back in despair.

Meanwhile, Saltaros, the mysterious Shadow Archon, moved stealthily through the shadows of the battlefield, subtly weakening the enemy's command structure with his profound understanding of the mind and shadow.

The offensive of the indescribable army gradually became chaotic and disorderly.

However, Saltaros was unaware that he had been corrupted by the whispers. As he delved deeper into the whisper network, his corruption became increasingly severe.
