Ever since the Baiguan was attacked by the barbarians of the Ruined Land and the appearance of the Steel Angel, the Angel of Slaughter Sera has been living in Crescent Empire with the Healing Angel Angela, searching for the trace of Tadefin. Unfortunately, they have not found him during this time, which frustrates Sera.
Now, with the imminent arrival of the barbarians from the Ruined Land, the ruler of Crescent Empire, Dios, also known as the Steel Angel Tadefin, is preparing for war.
At the same time, the people of Crescent Empire are spontaneously organizing their own forces to resist the barbarian attacks.
As angels, Sera and Angela naturally will not sit idly by, so they gather powerful adventurers from the Adventurer's Association to resist the barbarians.
However, since Sera and Angela do not have adventurer level licenses, no one is willing to team up with them, which greatly discourages the two angels.
"Hey, is there anyone willing to team up with us?" Sera looks around at the adventurers with a helpless expression on her face.
"This is normal in this situation. After all, we don't have adventurer level licenses, so it's normal that no one wants to team up with us," Angela comforts Sera as she sits beside her.
"If it weren't for looking for Tadefin, I would have gone alone to kill those barbarians from the Ruined Land," Sera bites her lip and says.
"There will always be someone willing to team up with us," Angela smiles softly and says.
"I hope so," Sera sighs.
For the safety of the citizens, Crescent Empire stipulates that only teams of four or more people are eligible to leave the city. Anyone who forcefully leaves will be treated as a criminal.
After a while, two adventurers walk up to Sera and Angela and ask, "Can we join you?"
Upon hearing this, Angela immediately shows a bright smile and says, "Of course."
The two twin sisters stand side by side. They have long golden hair with some black strands at the ends, and their black pupils reflect each other's shadows.
"I'm Elia," Elia introduces herself to Angela and then points to the woman beside her who looks very much like her, saying, "This is my twin sister, Elsa."
"I'm Angela, and this is my friend Sera," Angela says to the two.
"Hello," Sera politely greets them.
Sera, Elia, and Elsa shake hands with each other, and the four of them start introducing their areas of expertise.
"I specialize in various healing arts, capable of instant recovery of injuries and long-range healing," Angela introduces her field.
"I specialize in water magic, able to manipulate water flow to attack enemies and protect all of you as well," Elsa introduces herself.
"I'm almost as good as my sister," Elia sticks out her tongue playfully.
"That's okay. I'm good at close combat. If you don't want to kill the Ruined Land barbarians, I'll take care of it," Sera says without hesitation.
"Now that we all understand our respective responsibilities, let's each do our part. My sister and I will go to the Adventurer's Association to register first. It should only take about as long as it takes to burn a stick of incense," Elsa tells Angela and Sera.
"Great, we'll leave it to you then," Angela smiles at Elsa.
"You're welcome. We are all working towards a better future, so it's only natural to help each other," Elsa said with a faint smile before she and Elia disappeared on the spot.
...
"Sister, do you think those two people might be our angel brethren? Their names are exactly the same as the seventh ranked Killing Angel and the nineteenth ranked Healing Angel in the sequence," Elia said to Elsa.
"There are many people with the same name. According to statistics, there are around 290,000 people named Zhang Wei. Maybe they are using aliases or something. The two of us are not using angel names either. We can only confirm whether they are our angel brethren or not when we fight against the Ruined Land barbarians in the Steel Angel Tadefin War. After all, it is quite easy to distinguish the abilities of our brethren. We don't need to rush to reveal our angel identities. The most important thing now is to find Steel Angel Tadefin," Elsa analyzed.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister," Elia nodded with a smile, and the two of them then registered at the Adventurer's Association.
The staff at the Adventurer's Association looked at their certifications and kindly reminded them, "Are you two sure you want to team up with those who don't have adventurer licenses? Aren't you afraid of being dragged down by these people and getting killed?"
"We trust each other," Elsa said, then looked at Elia and asked, "Right, little sister?"
"Even if we carry two burdens, my sister and I are very strong. We will return safely," Elia boasted confidently.
"Sigh~" the Adventurer staff shook their head helplessly and then sent the registration results to the internal system of the Adventurer's Association. They handed the exit permit to Elsa.
"May all adventurers have a safe journey," the Adventurer staff waved goodbye to Elsa and Elia with their signature smile.
The two of them smiled and looked at the Adventurer staff, then walked out with the permit in their hands.
Elsa and Elia approached Sera and Angela, saying, "Miss Sera, Miss Angela, we have completed the registration procedures and can now leave the city."
"No time to waste, let's go," Sera nodded.
The four of them then walked out of the Crescent Empire.
...
At this moment, the leaders of various tribes in the Ruined Land were gathering to discuss something.
"Our army is ready to go. I suggest we attack the border of Crescent Empire and conquer it in one fell swoop," a man clad in armor said to the crowd.
"There is no rush for now," a young winged man with silver-gray short hair said calmly.
"Oh? So, what do you think should be done now?" another elder from the witch tribe, wearing a purple robe, asked.
"Send all the insect army and half of the Bimong soldiers to attack Crescent Empire. By then, the Sun-Moon Empire and the White Stork Empire will definitely send troops to assist. Together, we will directly target the weakest of the three countries, the White Stork Empire," the silver-gray haired winged man pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Yin Yinchuan, are you treating our insect tribe as cannon fodder?" a man dressed in a blue robe, with three large antennae on his head, blood-red eyes, and hundreds of wings on his back, glared at Yin Yinchuan.
"Liu Sti, don't be too insolent! Remember, I am the commander-in-chief appointed by the five Your Majesties. Just follow my orders," Yin Yinchuan snorted coldly and said, "Do you want another failure like the last two times, where the entire army was annihilated due to poor execution?"
"The higher the position, the more pressure it brings!" Liu Sti gritted his teeth and looked at Wing Yin Chuan helplessly.
"After we successfully take over the White Stork Empire, we will release an ancient behemoth to guard it. At that time, I will immediately lead the allied forces to support you," Wing Yin Chuan said to Liu Sti.
"Alright." Liu Sti clenched her teeth and nodded in agreement.
"Then, prepare for the campaign." Wing Yin Chuan said calmly.
"All insect soldiers, obey the command! Move out, target the border of the Crescent Empire!" Liu Sti shouted.
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, countless insect soldiers roared and rushed towards the Crescent Empire.
"Montos, lead half of the Bimong soldiers to follow." Liu Sti shouted at a burly Bimong with a pair of sharp thorns.
"Yes!" Montos responded.
The insect army and the Bimong tribe passed through the interaction gates between the Ruined Land Continent and the Divinity and Demon's Continent, heading straight into the territory of the Crescent Empire.
The human allied forces guarding the gates immediately became vigilant and picked up their weapons to attack the insect army. Blades and swords flashed as the human allied forces were massacred amidst screams.
The insect army also paid a price, with many insects being cut in half and falling to the ground.
But the insect army did not stop, and continued to charge forward.
"Stop them! Don't let them rush over!" the human alliance soldiers shouted when they saw this.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Countless arrows were shot at the insect army, but the insects were undeterred. They spread their armored wings on their backs, blocking the rain of arrows, and continued to charge forward.
"Damn it, the armor defense of the insects is unexpectedly strong!" a human alliance officer cursed when he saw the armor defense of the insects. "Retreat quickly, enter the ballista positions, and attack fiercely. Kill these bugs at all costs."
"Yes."
The remaining human alliance soldiers immediately retreated to the ballista positions, activated the ballistas, and launched them at the insect army.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The ballistas landed on the insects, exploding and enveloping the surrounding area with flames and thick smoke. Many insects were crushed and turned into minced meat.
However, the insect army did not slow down. On the contrary, it continued to charge towards the human alliance army.
The ballistas continued to pour shells heavily, and when the Bimong soldiers walked out of the interaction gates, they picked up the boulders on the ground, transformed into beast-like hurlers, and threw them at the human ballista camp.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Numerous boulders fell into the human ballista positions, creating loud explosions. The ballista positions were heavily damaged, and many human soldiers were turned into meat paste by the boulders, staining the area red with blood.
At the same time, the insect soldiers had already rushed into the human alliance forces and began a fierce slaughter against the human alliance positions.
"Kill!" the human soldiers shouted and fought fiercely against the insect army.
The clash of weapons and screams echoed across the vast plain, creating a chaotic scene.
Many fire magic law mages chose to become suicide bombers and perish together with the filthy and ugly insects.
However, the hideous Zerg seemed unaffected by the human Archmage's self-destruct and instead, it only fueled their ferocious and bloodthirsty nature. Before long, the United Human Alliance was completely annihilated, with red and green blood intermingling, creating a gruesome spectacle. This time, with the leadership of the Ruined Land Alliance, they finally showcased their true strength, both in tactics and morale, which were exceptionally high.
Soon after, the Zerg army and half of the Bimong soldiers headed straight for the Crescent Empire's territory. The main force led by Yi Yinchuan was still waiting at the Gate of Interaction, his expression serious, eyes half-closed, as if he were asleep.
The only variable in this war was the Blood Clan of the Crimson Empire. If the Blood Queen, Your Majesty, were to come to aid, it would certainly bring trouble. Even if the Orc Empire wanted to help, they would probably not qualify!
Furthermore, the Ruined Land Alliance had secretly signed a treaty with the Orc Empire. As long as the Orc Empire did not come to help, the Ruined Land continent would never invade the territory of the Orc Empire!
If the Orc Empire did not accept the Ruined Land Alliance's agreement, they would be the first country to be conquered. The conflict between humans and orcs was not just about killing but also included the humiliation of human females in front of human males, followed by consumption.
The relationship between the Blood Clan and humans was simply one of predator and prey, they would not torture or slaughter the human race, let alone humiliate human females. The Blood Clan regarded themselves as noble and elegant beings, how could they engage in such filthy acts? To the Blood Clan, humans were nothing more than livestock.
If a Blood Clan member were to humiliate a human female, the entire Blood Clan would despise him. It might even be written in textbooks and passed down through generations. As the Supreme Commander, Yi Yinchuan naturally prepared for the possibility of the Blood Clan's support.
