After confirming that Weir had successfully broken through, Marston smiled and said, "Withdraw!"
The elven warriors immediately broke free from their opponents and retreated towards their main position.
At the same time, dense energy arrows appeared in the sky.
"The Emperor is covering us! Quick, quick!"
A warm feeling rose in the soldiers' hearts, and they withdrew as much as possible.
"Ranged units, pick them off one by one." Svi stood on high ground, his face stern. "North, 700 meters. Northeast, 931 meters..."
For every coordinate point reported, dozens of elves would fall.
After three rounds of attacks, thousands more elven soldiers appeared ahead, their bodies pierced through.
Most of them were already dead, and some soldiers who had not been fatally wounded were still wailing.
Suddenly, a resolute glint flashed in the eyes of a squad leader: "We're going to die anyway, so why not take them with us?"
With a change in mindset, he laboriously swallowed two black pills.
An evil and eerie aura shot straight into the sky. The squad leader's hair stood on end, his eyes turned as black as ink, and a faint black aura lingered around his body.
His actions also inspired the wounded soldiers nearby, who all followed his example and stood up.
The black aura gathered and formed a wall of energy, which shattered the orcs' ranged attacks before they could even get close.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The corrupted squad leader, a sinister smile on his face, charged toward the orcs.
He was followed by thousands of companions.
At the same time, the forward commander, Cang Bai, with a resolute look in his eyes, drew his longsword and shouted, "Warriors of the Elven Empire, follow me!"
A group of powerful individuals followed and charged out.
The demonized squad attacked from the front, while Cang Bai attacked from both flanks, forming an encirclement of the orcs.
Kirov's lips twitched as he looked at the orc warriors behind him. "Those below the mid-stage of the fifth star level, retreat immediately. Those who have reached that level, block the enemies on both flanks."
"Leave the demonized squad to us." Svi charged ahead, followed by thousands of powerful warriors.
"Awooo..."
The beastmen warriors clashed with them, and terrifying aftershocks of the primal force raged, causing people to be killed one after another.
The battle became increasingly fierce, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.
Kirov, already bloodthirsty, swung his axe and beheaded a master, then turned and instantly saw Cang Bai. "Give me your life!"
Cang Bai also saw him, and enraged, he brandished his longsword and charged at him.
The two didn't use many fancy attacks; they used only deadly moves.
Boom! Thud!
Kirov took two steps back, while Bai Cang took three steps back.
"Is that all you've got?" Kirov taunted as he circulated his Force.
"This little bit of skill is enough to kill you." Cang Bai suppressed his surging primal force, quickly tapped his body twice, and his body immediately calmed down. An aura even more terrifying than before surged outwards. "Die, barbarian."
A giant sword beam slashed towards Kirov.
"Hmph!"
Before the cold laugh had even faded, the sword light was cleaved in two, the remaining force flying towards Cang Bai's neck.
He quickly ducked and narrowly avoided the danger.
As he looked up, the axe blade slid down and landed on his back, leaving a half-meter-long gash from which blood gushed.
Kirov increased the speed of his attack, leaving Cangbai in a sorry state.
His closest guards immediately broke free from their opponents and rushed to his aid.
"Commander-in-chief, let's go!"
Two guards blocked Kirov.
At the same time, orc warriors rushed forward and hacked a guard to death with their blades.
With a sweeping axe, another guard was cut in half at the waist.
Cang Bai's lips twitched repeatedly, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he slashed out with his sword, pulling a black pill from his pocket with his left hand.
"We absolutely cannot let him become demonized." Kirov forcibly increased his power to its maximum, the axe hummed, and a beam of axe light several meters wide fell down, "Die."
It came too fast, and Cang Bai quickly dodged, his body moving diagonally to the right out of instinct for danger.
Sizzle!
His left arm was severed.
The orc warrior quickly destroyed the severed arm.
"You?" Cang Bai was both shocked and furious.
Kirov didn't even bother to answer, swinging his axe with all his might, each strike deadly.
After three moves, Cang Bai could no longer dodge and was killed.
With their commander-in-chief killed, the morale of the guards plummeted, and they were relentlessly pursued and killed by the orc warriors...
A dozen minutes later.
The orcs paid the price of over three hundred powerful warriors dying in battle, finally clearing out the wounded demonized elves and their flank guards.
"Waaah!" A powerful beastman covered in wounds wailed, "Brothers, just like that, gone?"
Kirov and Svi felt a lump in their throats and wanted to cry, but they suppressed their sorrow.
"Brothers, you are all excellent. Our beastmen have never lacked brave warriors; everyone is a war god."
"Salute to the God of War!"
The generals bowed deeply to the orc soldiers.
The soldiers were greatly shocked and quickly returned the salute.
After this incident, the entire orc race was united as one, and their morale soared...
Elven race, royal palace.
"Your Majesty!" Marston placed his right hand on his chest. "The Prince has successfully broken through. Should we tighten our defenses and await reinforcements?"
Vagorie nodded. "Immediately tighten the defensive line, focusing on Black Wind Star, Black Thunder Star, and Pig Star as the core, and hold firm."
Marston frowned slightly and sighed, "The commander-in-chief of Blackwind Star, Cang Bai, has been killed in action, and now the group is leaderless."
"What?" Vagorie's body trembled, his face full of bitterness. "Now that things have come to this, only you can take over as the commander-in-chief of Black Wind Star."
"Yes, sir!"
After gesturing for him to leave, Vagorie turned to Hati and said, "Black Thunder Star is yours now. Remember: stall for time as much as possible."
"I am in charge of the central army. I will send reinforcements whenever they attack."
"Understood, this subordinate will take his leave."
Go!
......
On the other side.
Allied forces, temporary command post, outside the door.
Dudu, along with Xiaoman and Maoqiu, waited for a long time.
"Welcome, Your Majesties! Please come inside!"
Everyone immediately returned the greeting.
"Everyone says the Emperor of the Crimson Hun Empire is a young man, but I never expected him to be so young." - Iron Emperor.
"Who says otherwise?" Hurricane Emperor smiled bitterly.
"Gentlemen, do not be impolite." The Snow White Emperor glanced at them.
Emperor Yangyu quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out and returned the greeting.
The king following behind them broke out in a cold sweat, returning the greeting as he said, "Greetings, Emperor Chihun."
"Your Majesties, Your Majesties, there is no need for such formalities." Dudu gestured for them to proceed and led the way.
Although the Crimson Hun Empire was not a top-tier empire, it had reached the level of a first-tier empire. The most powerful emperor among them was only at the peak of a second-tier empire. When had they ever seen such a humble first-tier emperor? Their goodwill towards Dudu increased considerably.
"I've invited everyone here today to discuss how to eliminate the Elf Empire, this common enemy of the universe." Dudu had a faint smile on her face, but she exuded the domineering aura unique to an emperor, making people dare not meet her gaze.
"No matter how strong he is, he only has one star system left." Emperor Yang Yu's eyes flashed with disdain. "With so many of our empires and kingdoms' troops here, if we just send them crashing down, what can he possibly use to resist?"
"Who doesn't understand the principle?" The Snow White Emperor glanced at him as if he were an idiot. "If we were to fight like this, the Crimson Emperor wouldn't have invited us here to discuss this." He cupped his hands, a sinister smile flashing in his eyes. "Our intelligence is limited, so please enlighten us, Crimson Emperor."
Dudu was caught off guard, but her expression didn't change. She turned to the projected map and said, "Look, everyone, the red dots are where our troops are currently deployed, and the green dots represent the Elf Empire's defensive points."
Have you noticed that Heding Star and Black Thunder Star are very close together?
Scan the crowd, carefully noting their reactions.
Just as he was about to speak, the Beastman Emperor, Infield, who hadn't said a word until now, said, "Emperor Chihun wants to send a surprise force to cross Heding Star and silently enter Black Thunder Star to destroy their defenses from the inside?"
"More or less!" Xiaoman answered for Dudu, then walked to the front of the group. "I will personally lead a surprise force to Black Thunder Star. However, the enemy has strengthened its defenses, so finding a breakthrough will not be easy."
After a pause, he turned to the Griffin Kingdom, cupped his hands, and said, "I beg Your Majesty to send your elite troops to clear the way for me."
"It is my duty!" The king was flattered and hurriedly returned the greeting, thinking to himself, "Everyone says that the great empires look down on kingdoms like ours, but the Chihun Empire respects us so much. Making diplomatic relations with such an empire is definitely the wisest decision."
A change in mindset leads to greater respect.
The other kingdoms were similar, and they gained a new understanding of the Chihun Empire.
"My Hurricane Empire also wants to join the war."
Xiaoman was overjoyed. She cupped her hands and bowed slightly. "The Hurricane Empire's air force is renowned throughout the universe. We are truly grateful to have your help."
"Thank you, Hurricane Emperor." Dudu also bowed slightly.
The fact that the emperor of a top-tier empire bowed to the emperor of a second-tier empire immediately stirred complex emotions in everyone, and their goodwill towards Chi Hun increased once again.
"The aerial front is settled then." Dudu's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on the two from the Scorpion Kingdom and the Centaur Kingdom. "Your Majesty, I've heard your ground forces are quite formidable. Would you be willing to claim the first credit?"
"Yes!" they both said in unison.
Dudu nodded in satisfaction and then made some further arrangements. "We'll launch the attack at dawn tomorrow."
"Understood." The group bowed respectfully. "If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now."
"How could the ground forces be complete without the Orcs?" Infield's eyes were resolute.
“Of course, it’s indispensable.” Dudu pointed to an inconspicuous spot after the aerial battle, “The Orc Emperor used this place as the forward position to establish the main ground position, with the brother forces providing support.”
"Understood." The kingdom's people bowed. "We will return immediately to make arrangements."
"Please!" Dudu quickly stepped in front of them and gestured, "On the day the Elf race is destroyed, I, the Emperor, will surely hold a grand banquet and respectfully invite all the Emperors and Kings to drink to our hearts' content!"
"It's a deal." The Griffin King's eyes were filled with fervor as he secretly made a crucial decision that would affect his entire life. (To be continued)
"It's a deal!" Dudu smiled and cupped her hands in greeting to everyone.
"We look forward to that day coming soon, Emperor Chihun, until we meet again."
The group bowed and left the council hall.
Suddenly, Xiaoman called out, "Emperor Infield, please wait a moment."
"Your Highness, is something the matter?"
Xiaoman remained silent, slowly pulling out the Black Fiend Token. Infield's pupils dilated instantly, his mouth agape, and he stood frozen in place...
