This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 420: Chapter 111: Five Years, Void Rune

With the arrival of twenty million Five-Colored Void Angels transformed from the Ghost Race, the originally somewhat desolate Black Wing City became bustling once again.

There was no waiting for the right opportunity; Commander Aoqi once again led the army of Void Angels, marching grandly towards Doron City.

It could be said they came with great strength.

Doron City, after achieving victory in the volcano cluster war, did not relax its vigilance because they knew well that Blast Flame City was still coveting them and would definitely choose to attack either them or Black Wing City. According to the Dark Night Elves’ speculation, the probability of Blast Flame City attacking Black Wing City was the highest.

Therefore, Doron City had actually been focusing its attention mainly on Black Wing City during this time.

Hence, when Commander Aoqi led twenty million Void Angels toward Doron City, the Dark Night Elves immediately knew.

Confusion showed on their faces.

What’s going on?

It has only been two Blood Moons since the last war, how could twenty million Winged People soldiers be assembled?

Moreover, according to the spies’ reports, the elite strength of this army of twenty million Winged People rivals, if not surpasses, the previous forces.

....Doron City, Great Hall.

Dark Night Lord Fatos sat on the throne, below were groups of Legendary Dark Night Elves and a few Legendary Demons.

At this moment, whether it was Fatos or other Legendary Powerhouses, their expressions were somewhat grave.

The atmosphere was silent for a while; a Legendary Dark Night Elf Warrior couldn’t hold back and said,

"How could this possibly be a newly promoted Lower-Rank Abyss Lord?! How could a newly promoted Abyss Lord gather such vast elite forces in such a short time?!"

As the upper echelons of Doron City were discussing, new information came back.

"Lord, Blast Flame City has disappeared!" A Legendary Night Elf Rogue appeared in the hall, his tone anxious and alarmed.

This news instantly shocked the strong ones in the hall; Fatos, who had been sitting silently on the throne, showed a slightly moved expression.

The Legendary Thief didn’t keep them in suspense and reported everything he had seen without missing a beat.

"I followed your instructions, constantly hidden outside the city of Blast Flame, and let my demon minions inquire within the city, then just recently..."

As the Legendary Thief finished his message, space rippled again, and another Legendary Night Elf Rogue appeared in the hall.

"Lord, Black Wing City suddenly expanded rapidly..." this Legendary Thief quickly said.

The people in the hall, reacting slowly at first, now guessed the beginning and end of this matter.

"Black Wing City Lord...." Fatos had apprehension and surprise in his eyes.

And a hint of fortune.

Fortunately, I didn’t participate personally in the battle.

Otherwise, I might already be hunted down like that Balrog Flame Demon by the Black Wing City Lord.

Indeed, being cautious will never go wrong.

In Fatos’ eyes at the moment, Blast Flame City had disappeared, and the outcome for Lord of Blast Flame City was undoubtedly dead beyond recovery.

"....Defend the city." After thoughtful consideration, seeing the impending attack from Black Wing City’s Winged People army, Fatos finally made a decision.

This decision was both humiliating and helpless, the worst of the worst choices.

Defending the city means giving up vast outdoor resources and the continuous emergence of new demons outdoors, while the merchants and adventurers from other planes and Abyssal Cities will greatly decrease.

In the long run, Doron City’s power will only continue to wane, and the once-every-century Abyssal Blood War will probably be out of reach for Doron City, as it’s too difficult to gain sufficient returns without enough manpower.

But faced with the overbearing, silently annihilating Blast Flame City and unknown Black Wing City, Fatos would rather retreat and accept slow death, for at least there’s a chance of finding a hope for a turnaround.

Faced with the decision of the Dark Night Elves, the Legendary Powerhouses of Doron City had words to speak but ultimately held it back.

Yet the eyes of those few Legendary Demons flashed with a trace of complexity.

..... Due to Doron City’s retreat, Commander Aoqi’s army of Void Angels faced no obstacles, incorporating one area after another into Black Wing City’s domain.

All major mining areas, those outdoor tribes and self-built cities that had pledged allegiance to Doron City; those who resisted obstinately were slaughtered entirely, then devoured greedily by the Void Angels, converted into their own resources.

The others who understood the situation wisely kneeled and swore allegiance directly upon facing dire circumstances.

For these ones, a squad of Void Angels would be left behind, planting Void Seeds and bringing them into Black Wing City’s reserve power, waiting patiently for the results to hatch.

In this way, several Blood Moon cycles passed, and the newly expanded territory of the Void Angels, together with the previous domain of Black Wing City, has reached twenty billion square kilometers, equivalent to four Blue Stars.

However, it is still far from fully engulfing the territory of Doron City, which spans hundreds of billions of square kilometers, accumulated over a thousand years or even longer through expansion. Black Wing City’s takeover would take at least several years with twenty million Void Angels to swallow it whole.

If one wants to mold it into an ironclad domain, with the current forces, decades would still be inadequate.

After all, the Abyssal Source Sea randomly sends a massive number of newly born demons to the Wasteland constantly, which alone requires a large number of forces to maintain and control.
