Chapter 393 The Fall of the Crescent Empire
update icon Updated at 2026/1/14 8:30:02

The battle between the Crescent Empire and the Ruined Land barbarians is coming to an end, with the outcome already decided.

In just half a year, the Ruined Land barbarians have captured the Crescent Empire, and the steel angel Tadefin leads the remaining army to retreat towards the eastern Lizard Gorge.

The mist angel Mai and the haze angel Yani fight to their deaths against the Ruined Land barbarians to protect the retreat of the Crescent Empire's people!

Angel of Dawnlight, Julier, is severely injured and unconscious. His back, with its wings, is torn apart by a creature called the Night Roarer. Thanks to the timely arrival of the slaughter angel Sera, Julier is saved. Otherwise, Julier would have been in great danger.

Many humans in the Crescent Empire were unable to retreat in time and became prisoners of the Ruined Land Alliance army.

These humans wear iron collars around their necks, with thick iron chains attached to the front and back, firmly binding them. They are forced to kneel on the ground, looking up at the high Ruined Land Alliance army, their eyes filled with deep helplessness and sorrow.

"Kill the old, weak, sick, and keep the young men and women as slaves." The Night Roarer looks at the kneeling humans, his eyes full of mockery, as if enjoying the ugliness of these lowly humans.

"Yes, my lord Roarer." The Ruined Land Alliance soldiers, wielding their weapons, strike downward, causing blood to spray everywhere.

Terrible screams fill the air, and the horrifying scene is shocking to behold.

In this war, the Crescent Empire was defeated!

At night, a vampire soldier named Yimeng flies to the border of the Shuowang Empire at the fastest speed from the White Stork Empire.

When he reaches the border of the Shuowang Empire, he is immediately stopped and asked to present his documents and detailed information.

Yimeng immediately takes out his documents and hands them over, saying, "I am here on behalf of His Majesty to report to the Empress. Please activate the teleportation array and send me to Nightless City immediately."

The vampire soldier at the border sees that Yimeng's documents are in order and allows him to enter.

At the same time, the teleportation array is activated.

In the teleportation array, Yimeng only feels a dazzling white light in front of him. After he adapts, he finds himself in Nightless City.

Yimeng spreads his wings and flies towards the direction of the palace.

When Yimeng arrives at the palace, the guards immediately surround him.

Yimeng directly reveals his identity and takes out the waist token bestowed by His Majesty, causing the guards to show respect.

Then, Yimeng goes straight to the main hall of the palace. When he reaches the hall, he sees a familiar figure and breathes a sigh of relief.

"Greetings, Empress!" Yimeng respectfully kneels on one knee in the hall.

At this moment, a delicately beautiful girl sits on the throne, with a beautiful woman in a white dress standing to her right.

"Hmm," the girl looks at Yimeng and then glances at the white-clad woman next to her, responding lightly.

"Your Majesty, the Crescent Empire has been invaded and occupied by the barbarians of the Ruined Land. The weak and infirm among the human population have been killed, and the rest have been enslaved. Two female angels sacrificed themselves to protect the people during their retreat, while the wings of a male angel were torn off by an ugly giant."

"Can you describe the appearance of this ugly giant?"

"Yes." Yimeng nodded slightly.

"That fellow is incredibly ugly. Instead of a face, he has a tentacle with a mouth on it. He has a hand growing from each thigh and another on his left waist. There is a small tentacle on his chest and three on his back. His skin is brown." Yimeng recounted slowly.

"It sounds hideous." Iris frowned, her tone filled with disgust. She could already imagine the appearance of this Night Roarer, and it was definitely repulsive.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness personally asked me to inquire about the next course of action," Yimeng asked.

"Abandon the city! Have Merice lead the soldiers back," Iris decisively decided.

"Your Majesty, the White Stork Empire was taken over by us. Are we just going to hand it over to those barbarians from the Ruined Land?" Yimeng asked unwillingly.

"What? Are you questioning my decision? Would you like to sit on the throne instead?" Iris coldly stared at Yimeng.

"I dare not!" Yimeng immediately lowered his head in fear.

Iris glanced at Yimeng and shifted her gaze, saying, "Since you dare not, then follow my orders."

"As you command." Yimeng dared not say anything more. After all, the temper of Her Majesty was unpredictable, and if she was angered, he would be the one to suffer.

Once the Ruined Land barbarians took over the Crescent Empire, their next target would undoubtedly be the White Stork Empire. There was no doubt about it. It was not realistic to expect the vampire soldiers stationed in the White Stork Empire to resist the invasion of the Ruined Land barbarians. In addition, most of the walls in the White Stork Empire were already in a state of disrepair and could be easily ignored. This made the White Stork Empire an easy target, strategically insignificant, and easy to let go.

The Ruined Land barbarians would not focus on the Sun-Moon Empire after capturing the White Stork Empire. According to the intelligence from the Ruined Land barbarians, the Sun-Moon Empire had a sorcerer who could summon undead soldiers. Enemies killed by these undead soldiers could be assimilated.

Attacking the Sun-Moon Empire would undoubtedly be a thankless task, unless this Night Roarer was an idiot.

The best target for the Ruined Land barbarians to attack would be the Orc Empire. Iris wanted to know what strategies the Orc Empire would employ in response.

"Lord Demon Emperor, the ancient creature described by the vampire just now is one of the ancient monsters. Its true name is Blood Howl," Yar spoke up, who was standing beside them.

Iris nodded slightly and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "What abilities does this Blood Howl possess?"

"His most unique ability is his howl, which can make the eardrums bleed. In severe cases, it can cause deafness and even shatter the soul," Yar replied.

"This is easily solved, just wear earplugs and you won't hear anything," Iris waved her hand and said nonchalantly, seemingly unconcerned about the so-called shouting.

"In addition, Blood Roar can also swallow the blood of creatures to enhance its own strength. It has a strong melee ability," Yar continued.

"It seems like this is a tricky enemy!" Iris pondered, rubbing her chin.

"What do you think, Lord Demon Emperor... should we use to deal with him?" Yar asked.

"It's a secret." Iris smiled mysteriously, "The firefly hasn't lit up yet."

"Uh... firefly?" Yar was slightly stunned.

Iris left the palace with her hands behind her back. She had thought that the Crescent Empire would be occupied by the Ruined Land League within three months, but she didn't expect it to hold out for half a year.

Unfortunately, miracles didn't happen. In these six months, not a single angel awakened, and as for the angel, Your Majesty, she was nowhere to be found.

...

The Northern Snowy Mountains.

In the past year and a half, Chizun's body has recovered most of its strength. Now she can activate her heroic spirits and release the angelic legion from within.

These angels were all angels who died on the battlefield millions of years ago. Their bodies perished, but their souls entered the Hall of Valor and left behind their memories. As long as the souls of those angelic warriors are not extinguished, their bodies can be rebuilt in the Hall of Valor.

At this moment, Elaine entered the room with firewood in her arms.

"Chizun, come and help me with the fire!" Elaine shouted after placing the firewood near the fireplace.

Just as Elaine finished speaking, Chizun walked up to the fireplace and crouched down to start the fire.

"Wait." Elaine grabbed Chizun's arm and said, "I've always wanted to ask you, what exactly is your identity? Why does Master say you are noble? And who is Yun Junshang? You always mention this name when you sleep."

As Chizun started the fire, she replied, "I am not human, I am an angel. Perhaps because of this, your master considers me noble. Yun Junshang is a human, my friend."

"To be regarded as a friend by an angel, you must have a good relationship with her!" Elaine exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes." Chizun responded softly, "When I was deceived and betrayed by humans, she saved me. She protected me like a sister and taught me about daily life."

"But you are an angel. How could you be deceived and betrayed by humans?"

"Uh..." This question caught Chizun off guard. She thought for a moment and said, "I guess it was because I was too foolish at that time!"

However, she also understood that angels are highly intelligent and more intelligent than humans, so it is indeed difficult for them to understand the twists and turns of the human world. Perhaps that was the reason why Chizun was deceived.
