Only high-grade Tier II players were allowed to join the battle. Reign knew that there would be many Tier I and Tier II demons present, but he didn't want to risk the weaker players dying on the battlefield simply because they were too weak.
He initially wanted to only allow Tier III players to join, but the players were adamant that he let the weaker ones fight as well as there were many of them that were in the high-grade and peak of Tier II inside the territory. They all wanted to help out and fight against the demons as this battle would probably mark the beginning of Doncaster's dominance in the entire region.
Without any more enemies left to rival them, Doncaster would become the most powerful force in the region, making them all proud to be a part of it. If they were going to continue being members of the territory, then they couldn't simply allow those that were stronger to pick up their slack and fight for them, they all wished to fight as well, even when they knew that the battle would be dangerous for them.
Reign allowed it in the end, fully aware of the emotions the players had. Slightly less than 2 000 players gathered in the center of the town, all ready to go through the portal and fight against the demons.
M'azgara's monsters also started coming out from below, taking the elevator in an orderly fashion. The 16 Tier IV monsters all showed themselves, making the players a bit nervous at the start as seeing so many powerful Tier IV monsters was still not something they were used to, especially the Tier II players who could all sense that the monsters in front of them were more than powerful enough to rip them all to shreds.
The Tier III monsters also showed themselves. Even though there were about 2 000 players present, their strength was at best on par with the army of 500 monsters thanks to the fact every single one of the monsters was a high-grade or peak Tier III monster. There were more Tier III combatants in the player army, but most were low or mid-grade Tier IIIs.
Reign and the others were all standing in front of the large army that they had gathered. Seeing so many people present alongside the monsters made them feel proud, these people were their people, they all fought alongside each other and helped one another in order for the territory to reach the level it was today.
"Is everybody ready?!" Reign shouted out as the players all shouted a loud 'yes' in unison. With the confirmation being given, Reign simply nodded before turning around.
He had made another portal for the monsters, and even though it wasn't cheap, it wasn't that expensive to the current them. From the money they were making thanks to the territory and from slaying monsters, they would recuperate the money fairly quickly and easily.
Reign and the others went through the portal first, followed by the other Tier IV combatants and the top teams. The stronger you were, the nearer to the start of the line you would be, something Reign had done in order to make sure nobody would be able to launch a sneak attack on them and kill the weak players.
Even though the area around the portal on the mountain was clear, Reign and the others didn't like taking any chances, which was why they immediately spread out in order to have a full view of the surrounding area so that they would know if anybody was near them.
Reign and the others looked around as more and more people and monsters arrived from the two portals. The monsters were using a portal that Reign and the others had just recently placed about half a kilometer away from this one. It was barely hidden, but it didn't need to be hidden as they had placed it a couple of minutes before this, so there was no chance that the portal would get destroyed.
The portal would pretty much lose its purpose after this battle so Reign and the others were going to remove it anyway. Portals could be moved around as their location was not actually fixed. As long as both portals were fine, no matter where they were, they would still function properly.
Reign waited about 10 minutes for all the players and monsters to arrive from the portals. After making sure that all of them were present, they made their way over to the base of the demons.
Even though the area they were in was mostly populated by Tier III monsters, there were still some Tier II ones, and the demons were different of course as they had built large bases that could fit hundreds of them, some of which were only Tier I and Tier II and worked as servants in those bases.
It was not that easy to produce Tier III beings, so even the demons who had been here for a long time still had plenty of Tier I and Tier II troops.
No monster dared attack Reign and the others as they made their way toward the nearest demon base. The incredible number of combatants the army had was more than enough to make the monsters run away from them, and they had even come across a couple of demons along the way.
Reign and the others promptly dealt with the demons as they didn't want them to alarm the bases. Their attack would be noticed, but they wanted to stay unnoticed for as long as possible.
The base they were attacking had only one Tier IV demon present, and he was out most of the time as he needed to stay with the other Tier IV demons near the great wall they had created to make sure no Tier IV monsters were able to pass.
There was a 50/50 chance that the demon wouldn't be there, not that it mattered that much thanks to the number of Tier IV combatants they had.
It would make the battle much easier if they were able to deal with a couple of Tier IV demons inside the bases as that would lower the total number of them for the final battle that would inevitably take place near the great wall.
Reign and the others were certain that they would be able to defeat them all, but they wouldn't mind making the battle easier so that they could finish it quickly and limit he casualties on their side.
As they got near the first base, they were spotted about 800 meters from the base. The demons panicked upon seeing such a large army, and Reign and the others quickly went to the offensive. They all attacked, the strongest amongst them, the Tier IV combatants, charging at the base at their top speed as they wanted to end this as quickly as possible.
The walls of the base were unable to withstand the attacks of over 30 Tier IV combatants and quickly fell as Reign and the others started a bloodbath. Demons perished left and right and Reign quickly attacked and destroyed the largest building inside that functioned as the central hub where they would be able to talk with the other bases.
He didn't know if any demons had been inside and had already alarmed the others, but they didn't care. The players arrived soon after them, as did the monsters. They charged in the base and started fighting the demons who were trying to run away in order to survive.
The battle lasted for only 4 minutes as the number of demons inside this base was only about 400, which was unable to come up with any kind of resistance against the large army that Reign and the others had brought with them.
The alarm was activated, however, and the other bases learned of what happened right away. They panicked as well, an army of 2 500 was not something that any base could survive, which meant that they had to band together.
At this moment, the demon races present in the mountain range, all five of them, abandoned the hatred and rivalry between them and started making preparations for fighting against Reign and the others.
Bases were abandoned and the demons quickly grouped together as they made their way over to the great wall. Almost all of their Tier IV combatants were there, and they knew that it would be impossible for them to win without them.
Only 4 Tier IV demons were in bases as monsters had actually attacked the wall yesterday, which prompted most of them to go and help out. The demons stayed the night at the wall in case the monsters were to attack again, which thankfully didn't happen so they were rested and could fight against Reign and the others with their full strength.
Reign and the rest came across two large groups as they were making their way over to the wall. Upon coming across the first one and seeing two different demon tribes together, they knew that they must have been found out, otherwise, the tribes would definitely not band together. Upon taking the souls of a couple of them, Reign was able to learn of what was happening, which prompted him and the others to speed up and make their way over to the wall.
