"Oh? They captured Gale Fortress, so why are we in such a state of chaos?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment. In his opinion, it would be meaningless for this lone demon army to capture Gale Fortress, as they would be annihilated sooner or later. But from Kou Cheng's words, it seemed that this was not the case.
"If we lose Gale Fortress, we'll be in big trouble. Right now, the power of the War God Domain is all outside Gale Fortress. Once those demon bastards rush into the fortress and restore the teleportation array, any of the demon cities in the Crimson Earth Demon Domain can send two or three main demons here to take charge. Then we won't be able to fight this battle."
Kou Cheng stared at Wang Yao and said.
“At the very least, they can easily counter-encircle us. Although Commander Yue must already have a plan in mind, how can the situation then compare to now? I'm afraid even the Divine Lord will personally come to supervise the battle,” Kou Cheng continued.
"Teleportation array?" Wang Yao blinked twice. He had forgotten about it. Every immortal city in the Immortal Realm was connected by teleportation arrays, so there was no reason why the Divine Demon Realm wouldn't have one. But he had been training for so long and had never heard of the existence of teleportation arrays. How come they suddenly appeared during the war?
This is something that even immortals find extremely puzzling.
"Since the demons can build teleportation arrays in Gale Fortress, why don't they build them in Reed Camp or Wolf Bay first? Wouldn't that pose a greater threat to us?" Wang Yao followed up with a question.
"You are not a god or demon, so it's understandable that you don't understand this kind of thing. If the two realms of gods and demons want to establish a teleportation array, there must be a divine power magnetic source or a demonic power magnetic source underground. If there is a divine power magnetic source, a teleportation array for gods can be established, and if there is a demonic power magnetic source, only a teleportation array for demons can be established."
"There's no magnetic source underground in Reed Camp and Wild Wolf Bay, so it's impossible to build a teleportation array there. In this Howling Grassland, only Gale Fortress has a magnetic source underground, which is why we're here fighting to the death with those demon bastards," Kou Cheng explained to Wang Yao, nodding.
"In fact, the underground magnetic source of Gale Fortress used to be a divine magnetic source, but after it was occupied by the demons, they used years of magical pollution to turn the divine magnetic source into a magical magnetic source. Now our divine race can no longer use the teleportation array here."
"However, if we continue to use divine power to cleanse the magnetic source for another three to five years, and also make sure to clean up all the inferior demons in the vicinity, the underground magnetic source here will be able to recover."
"So that's how it is!" Wang Yao suddenly understood, which gave him a deeper understanding of the war between the realms of gods and demons and Yue Fei's previous arrangements.
It seems that occupying and holding a stronghold has another extraordinary significance for both the gods and demons, especially for important strongholds with underground magnetic sources of both divine and demonic power, which cannot be easily abandoned.
It is estimated that the loss of Gale Fortress in the Battle God Domain was a devastating defeat, which is why Yue Fei was willing to give up Partridge Village, which he had already captured, in order to ensure the safety of Gale Fortress.
After all, Partridge Village doesn't have a teleportation array, so its loss wouldn't affect the overall situation. But Gale Fortress is different. Once it's lost, the cost of taking it back is unpredictable. The demons certainly understand this, which is why they launched a counterattack on Gale Fortress despite the gods' massive army pressing in.
"So, if you capture a stronghold with a teleportation array, the first thing you have to do is destroy the teleportation array?" Wang Yao asked thoughtfully.
“Those are strongholds where the underground magnetic source has been altered. For those that haven’t been altered, of course we need to restore the teleportation array as soon as possible, so that it will be much easier to defend them.” Kou Cheng’s answer was quite rigorous.
Wang Yao nodded deeply, his eyes fixed on the demon army outside Gale Fortress, where they were already locked in fierce battle with the divine army both in the sky and on the ground.
On the ground, the giant Arhat crossed the moat, but the hundreds of divine generals along the river did not retreat an inch. They had been shooting at the giant Arhat with arrows, but once the Arhat had crossed the river, the divine generals abandoned their bows and arrows, brandished their weapons, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the giant Arhat.
The various equipment behind them also launched a concentrated attack on the giant Arhat, but the giant Arhat was no pushover either. As soon as the two sides clashed, the generals were quickly injured or killed. They were bowled off one by one by the giant Arhat, crashing heavily against the walls of Gale Fortress.
For a time, red protective shields rose and fell on the city walls, but the castle gates remained open. The divine generals who crashed into the city walls, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, were hurriedly rescued by the divine soldiers inside the castle and taken back to the castle. Meanwhile, reinforcements continued to come out of the castle to take the place of those divine generals.
The demon generals rolled off the Arhats much faster than the gods were knocked off the battlefield. After several rounds of hand-to-hand combat, the giant Arhats could no longer reach the foot of Gale Fortress as easily as before, and their bodies were rapidly thinning under the intense attacks.
The fiercest battle took place in the air, where the Protoss army, bursting out of Gale Keep, crossed the moat from the sky and quickly clashed with the Demon army.
Wang Yao felt as if two giant Arhats lying in the sky were fighting each other. The dead and injured from both the gods and demons fell to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot. The corpses of both sides were intertwined, and soon a thick carpet woven from the corpses of gods and demons was laid out below the battlefield.
There were no divine soldiers from the fortress to come to the rescue. Among the fallen gods and demons, those who were still alive struggled and fought desperately even after falling to the ground. Wang Yao watched helplessly as they hugged the wounded opponents who fell from the sky more than once, shouting and self-destructing.
In this way, all the wounded from both the divine and demonic races on the aerial battlefield will eventually perish in the self-destruction of other wounded as soon as they fall.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Wang Yao suddenly heard Gao Chong shout again. His figure suddenly enlarged, and golden threads shot out from the few remaining pieces of axe on the Gale Fortress wall, directly connecting to the tip of his spear.
