Although it was night, it was brightly lit by the magic lamps.

The appearance of Shadow Lord Salonas is somewhat similar to Mephisto. If you look closely, his body should be more slender and thin, especially his ten bony fingers, which look like old branches.

At this moment, he was listening to the servants' report on today's sacrifice, and low, hickey-like laughter kept coming out of his throat.

"With the 200,000 lives of Bolt Town as sacrifice, the heart of Lord Nightmare King will beat even more powerfully!"

He raised his hand, and two streams of void energy descended from the air, "My connection with the Demon Lord will become even closer!"

Bolte Town is a big town with a population of over 300,000.

In this large-scale battle, the Human Alliance lost a sage and several legends and failed to defend this place, causing many people to fall into the hands of the Shadow Lord.

Salonas sacrificed 200,000 of them, leaving the remaining women and some strong men as breeding pigs to provide new nutrients.

Suddenly, the light in the hall dimmed, and a tall figure appeared on the sofa opposite Salonas.

"Um?"

He was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here, Phoenix?"

Phoenix, who was wearing red armor and looked both cold and hot, said in a cold voice: "The Demon Lord has contacted us. The sage from the Star Continent has crossed the Sea of ​​Storms."

The Sea of ​​Storms was formed by the power of Nightmare, which to some extent is equivalent to a tentacle of the Nightmare King. When Roning and others passed by its tentacle, they would naturally be sensed.

“So soon?”

Salonas's dry voice carried a hint of surprise, and then he closed his eyes, and his mental power surged toward the sea like a tide.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "They must have blocked my perception in some way. I couldn't find their location."

"I didn't find them either."

Phoenix reminded, "I came here to remind you, be careful of this group of people heading straight for your Soul-Calming Bay. Although Lord Demon did not specify the specific number and strength of this group of people, I think it should be quite a lot. You should transfer most of the elite troops here, be careful not to lose your home base."

"Hehehe~" Salonas laughed.

Phoenix snorted, "I hate that kind of noise, put it away!"

"hehe!"

Salonas grinned and said disdainfully: "Just a sage, you want to capture Soul-Calming Bay? Phoenix, you underestimate me too much!"

“Although Georgia is only at the half-step sage level, she is capable of activating the three major formations of Soul-Calming Bay. Relying on the protection formation, soul impact formation, and strangulation formation, let alone the opponent only having one sage, even if there are two or three, they will not be able to capture Soul-Calming Bay in a short time!”

Salonas said confidently: "Even if the situation is unfavorable, I can rush back from here quickly."

Although Phoenix had a very disdainful expression on his face, he knew in his heart that the other party's statement was not exaggerated.

As soon as Flamewing, Thranduil and Mephisto arrived at the Star Continent, they informed them of the situation there.

Although the continent whose elemental power was destroyed is gradually recovering, not many strong people have been born in these years.

Before the final battle, when Phoenix's clone appeared, there wasn't even a single sage in the Star Continent.

Now that only more than a decade has passed, how many more sages can there be in the Star Continent? As for Ryan and his people in the City of Dawn, if they dare to leave rashly, they will go directly to the City of Dawn to cause damage, or at most destroy each other's base.

Soul-Realming Bay can afford to lose, but Dawn City cannot.

This is also the reason why the two sides, despite being at loggerheads with each other for so many years, dare not act rashly.

After comprehensive analysis, Zhenhun Bay should be unbreakable.

"That sage can fly directly to the City of Dawn, but the many ships that came with him can only go upstream along the Tamria River."

"Now that we control the seaport, if they rush in without knowing the situation, we will wipe them out!"

They captured the towns of Bolte and Cartago and controlled the outlet to the sea in order to achieve this goal.

Of course, they also tend to believe that Ronin has made contact with the City of Dawn.

But it doesn't matter.

"If Dawn City intensifies its counterattack in the next two days, it is probably to support their reinforcements."

Phoenix said, "I came here to inform you because I hope you will not hold back and go all out to deal with those guys from Dawn City. Leave the reinforcements from Star Continent to me."

Salonas played with his slender fingers and said with a smile: "Why, do you want to personally avenge the destruction of your clone?"

"Humph, a mere sage dares to boast in front of me, the Flame Demon King. I will let him know my true power!"

The voice was still echoing in the hall, but Phoenix had disappeared.

He was based in the town of Cartago, across the river from the town of Bolte.

…

Three days later in the morning, Luo Ning's fleet appeared on the sea thirty miles away from Zhenhun Bay, and the dock of Zhenhun Bay was already within their sight.

Although they could see each other, the people in Zhenhun Bay could not discover their fleet unless someone above the level of a wizard made a special observation.

Because Ronin asked Irene to use light bending and shadow magic to hide the fleet.

Even if a sage used mental power to investigate, he would be isolated by Elrond's mental barrier and would not be able to find any clues.

"Your Majesty, when will we attack?" asked Redal, pressing the giant sword at his waist.

While contacting Ryan and asking him to launch a counterattack, Roning said, "Let everyone get ready and be ready to fight at any time."

At the same time, Ryan, the leader of the City of Dawn, brought a powerful team consisting of three sages and many legends to the outskirts of Bolt Town.

They formed groups of three or five into their own teams. As long as Ryan gave the order, they could attack the enemies in Zhenhun Bay from all angles.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that you would lead the team yourself this time. Coward Ryan, who gave you the courage?"

Salonas appeared outside Bolt Town, followed by a large number of servants.

"Let me guess, is your ally about to reach the seaport? Haha, guess, is he a match for Phoenix?"

Ryan smiled indifferently. Very good. The other party thought that Roning would enter the Tenaria River first, but they didn't know that Roning went straight to the other party's lair.

"Before you let me guess, think about whether you can withstand my attack!"

Ryan didn't waste any words. He raised one hand, and the power of heaven and earth was mobilized instantly. A huge pressure broke through the air and rushed towards Salonas.

Faced with such overwhelming pressure, any ordinary person would be frightened to death with blood coming out of all his orifices.

But Salonas still responded with a strange laugh, and three dark summoning circles appeared around his body. As the light burst out, a huge skeleton of the level of the Sage of the Three Armies appeared.

Two of them roared to block Ryan's attack, and the remaining one went straight to Ryan.

The battle broke out instantly, and a large number of knights and magicians began to support. The collision between the two sides was like the bombardment of artillery shells in modern warfare, and the world was shaking.

"Elrond, Irene, remove the magic. All ships, enter the port as quickly as possible!"

Luo Ning drew out the Flowing Flame Sword and shouted, "This is the first battle of our Star Expeditionary Force. We must show our style and spirit and not let our allies down!" (End of this chapter)
