My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 481 We are the shadow of the empire, we are the blade of the empire (Part 4)
Three hundred years ago, no one would have thought that humans and demons would one day truly fight side by side.

Even those humans and demons who participated in the siege of the Chaos Brotherhood.

But this scene was realized three hundred years later.

On the former territory of the Holy Empire, the demons guarded the firing positions built by humans, preventing any puppet monsters or twisted black mud creations from approaching the turrets and heavy firing positions.

The human soldiers, protected by the demons, used all their strength to load and fire the shells. Even though their shoulders swelled and fractured from the recoil of the repeated firing, they did not let go of the trigger.

There are too many enemies.

Even with several great demons from the Lich King's Court and the Blood Demon King's Court joining the battle and using their terrain-altering powers, the enemy still seemed endless.

No matter how many monsters you kill, more will emerge from the suddenly appearing mist and shadows.

In fact, if it weren't for the occasional giant beasts and soldiers falling from the shadows in the sky to assist them in the battle, the border defenses of the Wislow Territory would have been on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, the territory of Wislow had already taken comprehensive defensive measures, at least the direction of the enemy's attack was fixed, and they could concentrate their forces in one place to resist the external attack.

Dan Suo, who was floating in mid-air and occasionally releasing bloodline spells to support others, looked a little pale.

Even for a race like the Blood Demon, whose skin is naturally pale, his face was unusually pale at this moment.

Indeed, even for a ruler of a royal court, the current consumption is somewhat excessive.

The monsters emerging from the fog were not only numerous, but also of high quality.

If it weren't for him and a few other demons being responsible for dealing with the monsters above the transcendent level, the lower lines would have been breached long ago.

"Damn it! We're done! If the Empire's airships don't arrive soon, we won't be able to hold out!"

"Dracula, you and Alucard fly over there to find the airship! Bring the people and their belongings back!"

"The rest of us have to retreat!"

"The firing positions here are still lacking."

"Ross, activate the formation set up by the old lich to buy time for our evacuation!"

Danso made a decision immediately and ordered a retreat.

This is just an outpost city used for resupply; the residents have long been evacuated, and the coalition forces never intended to hold it.

They chose to stay here simply so that the Imperial airships could fly as little distance as possible.

But if we continue to persist now, we will be completely wiped out!
It was a last-minute deployment, so there wasn't much heavy firepower here, and we didn't bring any big guns like the Poison Blade Tank or the War Fortress.

If it stays any longer, it will become an alkyl octanitrogen.

Upon hearing the news, Dracula and Alucard did not hesitate and immediately rushed into the mist, heading towards the distance.

After the dragons joined the battlefield, even the demons received aid from them.

A special defensive measure known as the Gift of the Dragon God allows them to ignore the corrupting effects of the evil god's power.

With the help of the dragons, this measure has gradually begun to be promoted among all humans, elves, and even demons.

There's just not enough time.

The crisis erupted shortly after the dragons began their work.

Fortunately, these legendary-level powerhouses can cast this spell on themselves.

Meanwhile, standing atop the city wall, Ross was also waving his bone staff, and with each wave, countless strange incantations unique to liches began to swirl around him.

The Great Source of Magic was fully mobilized at this moment.

A pale blue magical barrier began to appear above the city walls, and a hole was torn in the darkness of the sky, from which countless thick lightning bolts began to bombard the spreading mist and black mud on the ground. The next moment, Danso's voice rang out from high above.

"Everyone! Abandon your positions and retreat immediately!"

"Those at the Transcendent level or above who still possess combat capabilities shall be responsible for providing cover!"

With Danso's order given, the heavily damaged allied forces began to retreat, while Danso, Ross, and the remaining troops launched a cover-based counterattack using the city walls and spells.

On the other side, Dracula and Alucard also found their target in a short time.

Even in the mist, the burning airship was still so conspicuous; the eerie blue flames emanating from the destroyed magic crystal engine were simply too eye-catching.

Although they had anticipated this, the two great demons were still very nervous.

People at the top can die, but things can't be lost!

That's crucial for the protracted battle ahead!
After all, they are a great demon race, and they know far more information than ordinary people.

They knew very well that the Demon King and Roland had entered the Covenant Temple to conduct some crucial experiment.

Persistence is victory! As long as Lord Roland and His Majesty launch an attack, everything will be alright!
Although it's the same now...

Without the help of those two sons of God, without the shadow that shrouded the sky to provide them with cover and weaken the power of other evil gods, without the southern ashes to block the threat above the sea...

Dracula banished the jumbled thoughts from his mind and immediately swooped down toward the raging airship.

He soon saw several monsters of the eighth-ring hero rank wandering around the burning airship ruins.

Fortunately, this was not a formidable enemy for the renowned Impaler.

With little effort, the twisted humanoid puppet monsters were torn to pieces by the blood spear.

Acado, who was following closely behind, looked around and then shook his head: "I can't sense any living beings... Everyone's dead. I hope the things aren't broken."

"Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to transport new modules at this time."

Dracula nodded, then waved his hand to extinguish the flames on the airship before stepping into the airship, which was still largely intact.

Judging from the condition of the empty boat, the goods being transported should not have been greatly affected.

Accardo stood outside the airship, guarding against any potential enemies.

It didn't take Dracula much effort to find the place where the supplies were stored on the airship.

Two boxes, several meters tall and made of a special alloy, were still safely stored in the airship's cargo hold.

Inside the warehouse, there were also the remains of monsters scattered all over the ground, their pale, twisted joints lying everywhere.

In front of the two alloy boxes lay two corpses dressed in hatter's uniforms.

The hand cannon was overheated, and the barrel had burned out.

The blade of the hand axe was also in bad shape.

The final story of the two hatters has been shown to Dracula on site.

He bent down and began searching the bodies of the two hatters.

"Isn't the key to open it on me?"

"No, there can't be only two people on such a large airship."

"Let's keep searching."
