Chapter 1359 Battle of Crossing the River!
The expeditionary army did not know that while they were on the expedition, a terrible demon had already infiltrated the City of God's Punishment, preparing to carry out a bloody massacre and devour the remaining angel descendants and civilians in the City of God's Punishment.
At this moment, after leaving the City of God's Punishment, they were moving at a very fast speed along the road that had been opened up by people before, and along the direction of the Demon Castle.
Perhaps it was because these roads had been cleared by the warriors and strong men sent by the City of God's Punishment before, or because the Demon Castle had realized that the City of God's Punishment would launch a general attack and had gathered its forces as much as possible, so along the way, except for encountering a few demon creatures and mutant creatures, they did not encounter any enemies.
Without any enemy obstruction, the expeditionary army traveled smoothly all the way until it was finally blocked by the long river of fire that spanned the fourth area, burning fiercely, and contained countless terrible flame elemental creatures.
This long river of fire can be said to be a natural barrier in front of the Demon Castle, because if you want to go to the Demon Castle, you must cross the long river of fire. Due to the danger of the Flame River, the Ancient Demon Castle only needs to arrange a certain number of strong men to snipe along the Flame River. If the expeditionary force of the City of God's Punishment wants to cross the river, it will definitely pay a huge and tragic price!
Just like now, at this moment, a large number of fire demons with strong flame elemental power have appeared on the other side of the Flame River. These demons may not be the strongest, but they can better adapt to the environment here with the power of fire elements. Even the violent and dangerous flame element creatures in the Flame River will reduce their hostility to them because of their fire attribute power. In this case, crossing the river naturally becomes a very dangerous and difficult thing.
"We don't have time to waste here. It looks like we have to forcefully cross the river."
Looking at the demons who were guarding the other side of the Flame River, a fierce look suddenly flashed in Ullient's eyes, and then he said in a serious tone: "Let those god-level warriors release some warriors to attract the fire element creatures in the Flame River, and then the others will take the opportunity to forcefully cross the river and eliminate the demons on the other side of the river!"
Ullient knew very well that if he wanted to break through the Demon Castle, he really had to rely on the thousands of immortal warriors in this team. Therefore, before arriving at the Demon Castle, these thousands of immortal warriors must not easily consume their own strength. In this case, if they want to cross the river, they can only let those god-level warriors and lower-level warriors be cannon fodder to consume the power of those flame element creatures.
As for how many people will die in this way, it is not important to Ullient.
What is important is whether they can cross the river as soon as possible and destroy the Demon Castle.
"It can only be like this!"
It is related to the overall situation. At this moment, even Tyrael knows that these sacrifices are inevitable. So after hearing what Yuliant said, although he felt a little reluctant, he still nodded and agreed to Yuliant's suggestion like Heimer.
"Slow down!"
However, at this moment, Chu Xun frowned slightly, and then said in a serious tone: "There is no need to let those warriors make unnecessary sacrifices. We have a way to cross the river safely, and even let those flame elemental creatures in the long river of fire bite back those demons."
Having said that, Chu Xun paused, then moved his eyes to Angel and said: "Qier, it's up to you!"
"No problem, leave it to me!"
Hearing Chu Xun's words, Angel smiled slightly, then took a deep breath, waved her right hand lightly, and shouted: "Suzaku, appear!"
Chirp!
As Angel's voice fell, a flame instantly surged out of his hand, then soared into the sky, and condensed into a huge Suzaku above the long river of fire, spreading its wings and chirping.
"This is... Suzaku?!"
Seeing the condensation of Suzaku, Tyrael and Yuliant both flashed a trace of shock in their eyes at the same time.
As the speaker of the Horadrim Magic Council and a former Heaven Realm powerhouse, Tyrael and Ulliente naturally had extraordinary knowledge. Although they had never seen Suzaku in person, they immediately determined Suzaku's identity based on some information in their minds.
But they didn't expect that Chu Xun and others actually had a Holy Spirit Suzaku!
Are the potentials of these guys endless? How many cards and surprises do they have?
"Suzaku, order those fire elemental creatures to attack the demons and help the army cross the river!"
Angel didn't notice Tyrael and Ulliente's shock. After summoning Suzaku, she immediately gave Suzaku an order.
"Got it-Chiu!"
Hearing Angel's order, Suzaku responded, then fluttered his wings, emitting a long, earth-shaking cry, and stirred up red light from his wings, sweeping around.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Zhuque is the king of fire. At this moment, hearing Zhuque's order, the fire elemental creatures in the long river of fire, who were originally eyeing the expeditionary army of the God Punishment City on the riverside, suddenly roared, then turned around and rushed towards the demons on the other side of the river at a very fast speed.
At the same time, affected by the flames sweeping out from Zhuque, huge waves began to rise on the long river of fire, spreading and sweeping towards the other side of the river.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Damn it, what's going on!"
“Boom boom boom boom!”
…
The boiling of the long river of fire and the sudden attack of those fire elemental creatures caught the demon creatures on the other side of the river off guard, and then they suffered heavy casualties amidst screams, exclamations and roars.
“Cross the river now!”
Seeing Suzaku display his divine power and instantly causing tragic casualties to the demons on the other side of the river, the eyes of Uriant, Tyrael and Hemmer all lit up, and Uriant made a prompt decision and shouted loudly.
“Cross the river!”
“Quick!”
…
Hearing Uriant’s shout, those powerful men who were originally a little dazed also came back to their senses, and then jumped up at a very fast speed, flew over the long river of fire, and rushed to the other side of the river.
And when they were flying over the long river of fire, they were also very alert and nervous. You know, the danger of the long river of fire is not only those fire elemental creatures, but also the fluctuating river surface that may burst into huge waves of fire or fire impacts at any time. Once they were accidentally hit by the huge waves or the fire pillars on the river and were swept into the river, the strong men below the immortal realm would almost certainly die and have no chance of survival.
Fortunately, at this moment, the long river of fire seemed to have been tamed from a dragon that chose to eat people to a gentle sheep. Although the river surface continued to roll up huge waves of fire and rushed up raging flames, these terrible waves and flames were all directed at the demons on the other side of the river. They did not cause any threat to the strong men of the expeditionary army who were crossing the long river.
In this way, these strong men of the expeditionary army also crossed the long river of fire without any danger, and then cooperated with those flame elemental creatures to annihilate the demon interception troops, which had suffered heavy casualties due to being caught off guard and had not many troops, leaving no one behind.
After clearing out the demon interception troops, the subsequent expeditionary troops also crossed the river one by one, and finally passed the most dangerous natural barrier in front of the demon castle with almost no casualties.
"Chu Xun, well done, you have made a great contribution this time!"
Looking at the long river of fire that had returned to calm behind them, and the fire elemental creatures also sneaked into the river and disappeared, the expeditionary warriors who crossed the long river, even those as strong as Yulient and others, felt like they were in a dream.
Unexpectedly, a natural barrier that they had originally thought would cause tragic casualties was easily passed by them.
Thinking of this, Yuliant immediately turned his eyes to Chu Xun, and then said seriously: "I promise that after this time, you will all get the rewards you deserve!"
"This is what we should do. Time is running out. Let's keep moving forward."
However, after hearing Yuliant's promise, Chu Xun smiled bitterly in his heart, then shook his head calmly and said: "After crossing the long river of fire, the Demon Castle is not far ahead. I think, whether it is a reward or something else, everything will have to wait until we destroy the Demon Castle."
In Chu Xun's view, after this battle, they are very likely to cooperate with Constantine to seize Yuliant's World Stone.
At that time, let alone any rewards and thanks, I'm afraid Yuliant will even want to eat them.
"Okay, then everything will wait until after the war."
Yuliant also knew that the top priority now is to destroy the Demon Castle as soon as possible. So when he heard Chu Xun's words, he nodded and said no more.
Afterwards, the expeditionary army set out again and continued to move forward at the fastest speed.
And in front of them is the destination of their battle, the Demon Castle!
