Chapter 413 - The Soldiers Arrived At The Foot Of The City, And The G.o.ds And Demons Confronted Each Other
All the soldiers at the North City Gate looked at Andre, who was floating in the air. They could not help but swallow their saliva nervously. Although they knew that the individual in front of them was City Lord Andre, they also knew that the City Lord had received a promotion as a reward through his meritorious service. When they were facing a living demon, they could not help but feel a sense of unease in their hearts.
This was because everyone could accept a G.o.d that was carved into a stone statue and wors.h.i.+pped in the temple. However, they could not accept an alien race that wanted to be above everyone else. The race had even wantonly declared that they would kill all the Dark Elves!
This was not faith, nor was it a G.o.d. This was invasion and murder!
Although the soldiers were shocked and fearful, the three generals standing under the city gate looked unusually determined as they looked at Andre who was slowly flying over from the sky. They said in a deep voice, "Sir Andre, you are now a demon. You should step down from your position as the City Lord in Devil Flame City and enter the Imperial City as an oracle. The world of the Dark Elves should naturally be dominated by the Dark Elves. From now on, the City Lord of Devil Flame City would be His Highness Dave.. You can follow the great G.o.d Gajero and we can enjoy the faith of the elves together!"
When he heard that his former subordinate had asked him to go to Imperial City to become an oracle, the corners of Andre"s mouth could not help but twitch. This was because he naturally wanted to enter the Imperial City, but his mission had not yet been completed thanks to the blasphemer Dave, as well as the terrifying foreign race, Vincent. Once the situation continued to develop, the true oracles in Imperial City would blame those things on Andre. They might even cancel out his contribution!
Thus, Andre had to get rid of Dave and Vincent. He would then bring the Origin Divine Earth that he had just collected and head to Imperial City to complete his final mission!
The dissuasion of the generals had stimulated Andre"s heart deeply, making him feel as if he had been ridiculed!
Andre glared at all the Dark Elves below and said in a cold tone, "A bunch of lowly and foolish ants. Long before G.o.d Gajero defeated the Seven Great Elf Kings, this land had already become the territory of the demons. All of you are just trash that were allowed to live here! Not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you even want to gather to resist me. It seems that I must represent the demons and revoke your right to live in this world. All of you can go to h.e.l.l!"
"What"s going on? Why would the City Lord say such a thing?"
"This is too much. Even if he has already become a demon, he shouldn"t belittle the Dark Elves like this!"
"Is this the ambition of the Demon Race? Or is this just the ambition of City Lord Andre? He wants to become a demon and enslave all the Dark Elves!"
When the soldiers saw Andre revealing his true colors, they could not help but sigh in shock. If Andre had not personally said such words, they would not have believed that the Demon Race looked at them that way.
They were a race that had sacrificed their most loyal beliefs for the sake of Gajero and the entire Demon Race. However, they were treated as trash. Everyone could not accept it.
At the same time, Catherine, who was on the city tower, looked at Andre, who had already floated in front of her. She could not help but feel a little helpless in her heart, because she knew that at such a distance, Andre only needed to lift a finger to kill her!
"It seems that I won"t be able to wait for His Highness to come back, but at least I can make everyone in Devil Flame City hate Andre before His Highness is back. This way, when His Highness returns, it will be easier for him to reclaim Devil Flame City!"
Catherine sighed in her heart and could not help but smile as she said goodbye.
She pointed at Andre and berated him in a deep voice, "Listen up, everyone! From the beginning to the end, Andre had never treated anyone of us as his own race. He only wanted to become a demon. He is willing to enslave or even destroy all the Dark Elves. This was his mission and also his final thought! For this, he did not hesitate to kill his own son. He is even willing to sacrifice all the residents in the city. If everyone wants to live and protect our own city, then take the weapons in your hands and fight with me against this monster that is standing in front of us!"
The soldiers below all felt their blood boil. Andre"s words had already angered everyone earlier. In addition to that, every Dark Elf had been corroded by the aura of the Demon World, so they became warlike and violent. After realizing that Andre despised all the Dark Elves, everyone"s blood boiled. They were determined to fight to the death with Andre, the demon who was in front of them!
Andre looked up at Catherine, his eyes filled with hatred as he said coldly, "You are really sharp-tongued! Originally, I wanted to keep you to threaten Dave, but now I"ve changed my mind. I want to crush your head with my own hands. Let"s see how you will incite these Dark Elves to resist me!"
"Hmph!"
Catherine snorted and took out a dagger from her bosom and placed it on her neck. She said to Andre with a disdainful look, "When I decided to stand here and face you directly, I already had no intention of leaving alive. Moreover, I will not give you any chance to catch me alive! I believe that His Highness Dave will definitely avenge me!"
Monica, who was on the city tower, could not help but be greatly encouraged by the situation. She was even more impressed by Catherine"s decisiveness. She climbed onto the city wall and stood beside Catherine. She shouted at Andre, "Yes! I"m not afraid of death. I also believe that Vincent will definitely help me take revenge!"
When Andre heard Vincent"s name, he could no longer control his rationality. His heart instantly exploded with a monstrous fury. At that moment, he only wanted everyone related to Vincent to die!
Let these two pretenders in front of him die!
Let all the Dark Elves below die!
"Good, good, good. Since you all want to die, then I"ll grant you your wis.h.!.+"
Andre laughed maniacally as he roared. He then raised both of his hands high into the sky. A strong and powerful demonic aura soared into the sky, condensing into a huge vortex in the air.
After finding out about the outcome of Jessica"s battle with Vincent, Andre reflected deeply about it. He realized that he could not defeat Vincent with just his strong physical strength, so he forced himself to be familiar with various demonic spells. This was even though he could clearly charge into the enemy"s formation and directly smash Catherine and the north gate wall together. He wanted to get used to using magic to solve the battle.
Moreover, the demonic spell that he had just set up was enough to kill everyone in Devil Flame City!
Andre raised his arms high and chanted in a self-indulgent manner, "The great G.o.d of the Demon Race, Gajero, your most loyal follower has set up an altar for you. He is willing to give up the entire city as sacrifice. Please enjoy the feast!"
A huge face suddenly appeared in the vortex in the sky. It was exactly the same as Gajero who was wors.h.i.+pped by many in the temple!
The huge face seemed to have heard Andre"s call. It suddenly opened its eyes and looked at all the Dark Elves in the city greedily.
"Not good, he wants to sacrifice everyone"s lives to Gajero! Quickly inform everyone to escape from Devil Flame City!"
Upon seeing the scene, Catherine, who was on top of the city wall, could instantly guess Andre"s intentions. She quickly shouted at the three generals below the city wall. At that moment, she no longer needed the soldiers to protect her. Instead, she needed the soldiers to protect the residents of Devil Flame City. Only then can she protect the foundation of Dave"s future ambitions!
As long as there were residents and soldiers, Dave could bring them to build a new main city at any time. However, if everyone died, how could Dave, who only had an empty city, be considered a City Lord?
The three generals of the city gates obeyed Catherine"s orders and immediately made preparations to lead the troops to break out of the encirclement. They were going to inform the residents in the city to escape from Devil Flame City.
Suddenly, Andre, who was in the air, laughed crazily, "It"s too late, it"s too late! No one can leave alive today!"
A light curtain suddenly dropped from the black vortex in the sky, enveloping the entire Devil Flame City and sealing off everyone"s escape route.
After setting everything up, Andre suddenly flew and rushed straight toward Catherine who was on the city wall.
Catherine did not panic at all when she saw the scene. She only held the dagger on her neck with both hands and stabbed downward with all her might.
At that moment, the air in front of Catherine suddenly blurred. Following that, Dave leaped out from the air and s.n.a.t.c.hed the dagger in Catherine"s hand, pulling her into his embrace.
At the same time, two shadows appeared behind Dave, one black and one green. They were rus.h.i.+ng toward Andre.
"What"s going on? Why are there two figures who look exactly like His Highness?"
"Who are those two individuals who appeared with His Highness? Why do they seem to be a wood elf and an alien!"
The soldiers below could not help but sigh in confusion.
The three generals reprimanded them in a deep voice, "No matter what kind of a.s.sistance His Highness Dave had brought along with him, they are our allies now! Our only enemy now is Andre, and what we need to do now is to protect every single resident in Devil Flame City! Immediately find a way to remove Andre"s curtain and gather the residents. We need to prepare them to leave Devil Flame City in an orderly manner!"
"Yes!"
All the soldiers obeyed the order and left.
Horace and Harson followed Dave back. The moment they saw Andre, they carried out their a.s.sa.s.sination mission resolutely.
This was especially after Horace saw the destruction that Andre had caused the Elf World. The killing intent in his heart had become uncontrollable. At that moment, he only wanted to kill Andre in the simplest way. Even if he had to pay the price of his own life, he would not hesitate!
Andre was not in a hurry to resist after seeing Horace and Harson appearing before him once again. Instead, the corner of his mouth revealed a smug sneer.
Gajero"s huge face that appeared in the sky suddenly opened its mouth and started to inhale. Everyone in Demon Flame City felt their souls being lifted. They could feel their own vitality being drained continuously.
Not only did Harson and Horace feel as if their movements had become sluggish, but their physical strength was also weakening rapidly. Even their lifeblood was declining rapidly.
Andre looked at Horace and Harson, who had stopped in front of him. He could not help but sneer, "The blood sacrifice has begun. The two of you, together with all the Dark Elves, will become the sacrifice for my Lord Gajero! Even if Vincent arrives now, he won"t be able to save you, because he will also die under this sacrifice!"
Dave, who had just arrived on the city wall was hugging Catherine. He suddenly fell into a state of weakness due to Andre"s spell. Dave and Catherine then fell from the city wall. In a moment of desperation, Dave used his last bit of strength to protect Catherine as they fell down from the top of the city wall together. He used his own body as a cus.h.i.+on for Catherine to land.
"Don"t be afraid! I"m back!" said Dave softly to Catherine.
"Your Highness Dave!"
Catherine looked at Dave with a reluctant look, but she did not have the strength to say anything more. She could only try to communicate with Dave using her eyes. She wanted him to give up on her and lead Devil Flame City out of this disaster.
However, Dave"s eyes were full of determination. He hugged Catherine without any regret and fell straight to the ground.
At that moment, the entire Devil Flame City had become like h.e.l.l. Everyone realized that they were about to die, and the one that was killing them was the huge face of Gajero in the sky, as well as Andre, who had started all of this!
Although they feared death, they felt more sadness than fear. The G.o.d they believed in had actually taken their lives. This was simply an insult to their faith!
Just as everyone was about to fall into despair, a blazing flame suddenly shot up from the ground, directly separating Andre from Horace and Harson. It also surged toward the black vortex in the sky, causing the speed of the blood sacrifice array to become much slower.
At the same time, Dave who was falling in the air, was received by a s.p.a.ce door beneath him. Ebenezer and Daniel suddenly appeared and caught Dave and Catherine. They then brought them into the s.p.a.ce tunnel.
When Andre saw the flames in front of him, he could not help but shout out the name he hated the most.
"Vincent!"
Under the flames, Vincent and Angelina each activated their divine bodies, the Flaming Sun Divine Body and Netherspirit body. They then rushed into the air together.
Vincent did not pay attention to Andre"s angry roar. Instead, he stared at the huge phantom of Gajero in the sky and said to Angelina in a deep voice, "I"ll go deal with Gajero in the sky. You go and stall Andre first!"
"Okay!"
Angelina did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
The two of them separated in the air. Angelina flew in front of Andre and used the effect of her Netherspirit body to absorb and decay. She removed the connection between Harson, Horace and the blood sacrifice array in the sky. This allowed their lifeblood and vitality to not continue to disappear. They soon regained the ability to move freely.
Horace, who had regained his freedom, was about to thank Angelina, when he heard Angelina shouting anxiously, "I can"t remove everyone"s connection to the blood sacrifice array, so you have to help me hold down Andre as much as possible, so that he can"t continue to control the array!"
Horace and Harson naturally understood the stakes involved. They raised their daggers and were prepared to attack Andre again. Although they did not have the ability to fly in the air, Angelina was able to create several s.p.a.ce doors in the air for them. This allowed them to move freely around Andre. After that, she could join in and use her elusive figure and sharp attacks to entangle with him.
On the other side, under the desperate gazes of all the Dark Elves, Vincent flew into the air to deal with the huge face that was looking down on Devil Flame City.
Everyone could not help but place their hopes on Vincent. However, everyone was surprised when they saw Vincent spread a pair of Flaming Wings, helping him to fly even faster. Vincent"s entire body then turned into a ball of flames, and he soon arrived under the black vortex.
All the residents of Devil Flame City and the soldiers at the north gate suddenly realized that Vincent was not a Dark Elf at all, but an outsider!
However, at that moment, everyone suddenly realized, what was the big deal about being an outsider?
The Gajero that they believed in was preparing to kill them, and the outsiders, who they did not think highly of, were doing their best to save everyone!
Therefore, after thinking about it, Vincent"s existence was not hard to accept at all!
When Vincent arrived before the black vortex and looked at Gajero"s eyes that were in front of him, he could not help but roar angrily, "You want to destroy lives, dream on!"
After saying that, Vincent pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead carrying endless flames. He slashed toward the illusory face in the sky.
"Boom!"
The flaming blade shattered the moment it touched the afterimage of Gajero. A trace of anger suddenly appeared in Gajero"s eyes.
Vincent could not help but be shocked when he saw this, because he finally realized that the Gajero before him was not an illusion constructed by an array, but a projection of Gajero"s true body. It carried a portion of Gajero"s will!
Vincent could be considered to have met Gajero"s gaze for the second time!
Nevertheless, Vincent knew that he did not have time to be shocked, nor did he have time to think about it any further. There were still countless Dark Elves below whose lives were being absorbed. He needed to destroy the phantom of Gajero in order to avoid countless casualties!
"Get lost!"
Vincent roared and used his flame authority to its maximum. The Flaming Wings on his back increased in size and split into countless streams of light, shooting toward the projection of Gajero in the sky.
Endless flames smashed onto Gajero"s illusory face, forming a series of explosions. However, after the explosion, the phantom of Gajero was still floating in the air. It opened its mouth wide to suck the lives of everyone below.
All the Dark Elves saw Vincent"s terrifying attack. However, it did not have any effect on Gajero. They could not help but feel despair. It seemed that this was destined to be the end of Devil Flame City!
However, at that moment, the flames on Vincent"s body extinguished in an instant. After the flames subsided, he raised his golden left hand high up. He laughed coldly and said, "Illusion, right? True will, right? Then let"s see whose will is stronger!"
After seeing Vincent"s s.h.i.+ny golden arm, the phantom of Gajero revealed a fearful expression for the first time.
As his face was enormous, any tiny expression he made was magnified. Therefore, everyone could see it.
"Gajero is afraid!"
All the Dark Elves realized this and their hope for Vincent ignited once again.
"Divine might!"
Following Vincent"s loud roar, a ray of golden light suddenly appeared on his left arm.
Following that, a projection wearing golden armor stood behind Vincent. The projection had four arms and a pair of golden wings on his back. It faced the quiet Gajero who was in the sky.
