The next day, at dawn, countless soldiers and adventurers scurried about atop the towering fortress. A vast amount of war material was continuously transported to various locations within the fortress, and menacing, imposing magical war machines were activated one after another, causing a large amount of magical elements to converge.
Meanwhile, on the city walls, numerous mages held their magic staffs high, chanting incessantly. An immense magic circle was gradually completed through the cooperation of many mages. The gigantic magic array completely enveloped the sky above the entire fortress, drawing in a massive amount of magic elements from the air.
Visible to the naked eye, the magic elements flowed into the magic array like a river.
Below the city walls, densely packed soldiers were arranged in neat formations. The oppressive atmosphere seemed to fill the surrounding air with the stench of blood. The blood-stained armor and weapons of each soldier testified that they were true elites—battle-hardened veterans who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Perhaps, they were once just ordinary soldiers, or even less than ordinary, but in this hellish battlefield, the soldiers who had survived until now had all undergone a transformation. Each of them had hands stained with the blood of countless monsters.
And on the high platform at the very front of the densely packed soldiers, Dilok, the commander of the fortress, stood tall. Looking at the numerous soldiers below filled with murderous intent, a trace of a smile appeared on Dilok's resolute, indifferent face. These were the warriors he was proud of.
"Today, we will completely eliminate those monsters and save the entire Western nations! We will become heroes!"
On the high platform, Dilok drew the long sword from his waist, looking at the numerous soldiers below as he roared with all his might. This roar contained the fear and despair he had always felt towards those monsters. Today, they would personally destroy their former fear and despair.
Because the Hero and the others had already found the monsters' lair. As long as they completely destroyed it, then all of this would come to an end.
"Hoo... Are you ready? Are you ready to follow the Hero and the others to completely end all of this?"
"Ooooh!"
"Hero!"
"Kill all the monsters!"
"..."
As soon as Dilok's words fell, countless soldiers below erupted in earth-shattering cheers. Visible shockwaves swept out in all directions, shattering even the clouds in the sky.
"Then, all troops, advance! Our goal is to completely eliminate those monsters!"
Looking at the fanatical soldiers below, Dilok waved the long sword in his hand behind him. There, on the endless crimson flesh and blood earth, countless gluttonous monsters surged like a tide. It was as if those monsters also knew that today's enemies were about to launch a final offensive, and directly chose to engage in a frontal battle.
"Kill!"
At that moment, Dicks leaped down from the high platform, sitting on an upper-level demon with three bone horns on its head and scales all over its body, and was the first to charge towards the sea of gluttonous monsters in front.
Behind him, the numerous soldiers also gripped the long swords in their hands. The cavalry formation directly raised the spears in their hands and followed. Accompanied by the earth's shaking, nearly one hundred thousand cavalrymen launched a charge like a sharp arrow, directly cutting a hole in the center of the sea of gluttonous monsters.
Seeing this, the remaining soldiers launched their attacks one after another. Even while charging at full speed, countless elite soldiers still maintained perfect formations. In an instant, the two sides collided in the center of the battlefield, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the air.
Countless soldiers and gluttonous monsters were instantly reduced to minced meat. The entire battlefield directly became a huge meat grinder, with countless soldiers and gluttonous monsters dying every second. The wails of death and the roars filled with murderous intent became the only two sounds in the entire battlefield.
In just a few minutes, walls of flesh and blood piled up on the originally flat ground in the center of the battlefield. Countless soldiers and gluttonous monsters roared madly as they charged forward, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and enemies as they continued to fight.
Fresh red flesh and blood continuously flowed out from the bottom of the flesh and blood walls, and streams of fresh red rivers converged together, forming patches of flesh and blood lakes. And, unsurprisingly, soon patches of flesh and blood lakes would connect together, becoming a true mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, on the fortress behind the battlefield, magical war machines that had long been ready to fire roared, and countless magical cannonballs fell like raindrops into the battlefield. In an instant, countless gluttonous monsters were turned to ashes by the terrifying power of the magical cannonballs.
Even after this wave of attacks, clearings were created in the previously continuous sea of gluttonous monsters.
"Roar!"
At that moment, countless gluttonous monsters also began to gather instinctively. In just a few seconds, one behemoth after another appeared behind the gluttonous army. The fleshy body, nearly a thousand meters tall, was covered with countless tentacles full of mucus, and in the center of the fleshy ball, a huge scarlet one-eye stared fixedly ahead.
The next second, the tentacles on the fleshy ball raised one after another, aiming at the front. Visible magic light gathered at the tips of the tentacles. In an instant, the entire war above was illuminated, and countless streamers fell on the center of the battlefield like a torrential rain.
For a moment, the time of the entire battlefield seemed to be frozen. The next second, dazzling light lit up everywhere on the battlefield, and the earth began to shake wildly. Tens of thousands of crimson fireballs rose on the battlefield, and the huge fireballs continued to expand in all directions.
Countless soldiers and gluttonous monsters did not even have time to react before they were directly turned to ashes. When the numerous fireballs expanded to their limit, the air seemed to be completely solidified. The next second, a terrifying roar resounded on the battlefield, and countless soldiers and gluttonous monsters were turned into fragments in an instant under the violent shockwave.
"So...so terrifying!"
When everything dissipated, a soldier surrounded by magical shields trembled as he looked at the battlefield around him that had completely turned into hell. One lava lake after another was scattered throughout the battlefield, and in the lava lakes, numerous incomplete limbs were making sizzling sounds. The air was filled with a scorched, nauseating smell.
"However, this time those monsters have suffered heavy losses, and they died at their own hands."
Next to him, another soldier, surrounded by a magical shield, sneered as he looked at the gluttonous monster army in front that had become sparse. Unlike those monsters, human and demon soldiers, except for the unlucky ones who were hit head-on by that attack, at least fewer died in the attack just now.
"As expected of Lord Dilok, to be able to think of such a method."
At this time, another soldier looked with admiration at the tall figure riding on the upper-level demon in the very front. This time, they were able to cause so much damage to those monsters, thanks to Dilok's plan.
At the very front, Dilok looked at everything before him, a hint of a smile appearing on his usually cold and iron-blooded face. Through long-term battles with these monsters, he had discovered that although they lacked intelligence, they possessed incredibly powerful immortality, assimilation, pollution, and rapid growth abilities.
The more these monsters ate, the faster they grew, and they also possessed an instinctive learning ability.
Having discovered this, Dilok had deliberately allowed the Gluttony Monsters to learn abilities similar to magical war machines in previous battles. To ensure the monsters learned perfectly, Dilok disregarded the objections of others and deliberately allowed some war machines to be assimilated into the monsters during battles.
Although this caused them heavy losses in later battles, everything Dilok did was for this moment, and all previous sacrifices were worthwhile.
After learning from the Hero last night after the banquet that they would be heading to the monsters' lair today, Dilok began to summon all the mages within the fortress and had them prepare a super-large defensive magic formation before the start of the war today.
Then, after they used magical war machines to launch an attack on the monsters, he directly cast magic shields on all the surviving soldiers. It was thanks to this that a large number of soldiers survived the terrifying attack, except for a few unlucky ones.
However, as a price, almost all the mages in the entire fortress had exhausted their mana, but for Dilok, it was enough.
"Kill!"
The next second, as the magic shields on all the soldiers shattered, Dilok waved the longsword in his hand and charged out first. The remaining soldiers also roared and launched an attack on the remaining Gluttony Monsters.
For a time, a strange scene appeared. The Gluttony Monsters, who usually relied on their numbers to overwhelm others, were now the ones being overwhelmed by numbers, barely holding on with their powerful immortality.
However, even in this situation, the war machines on the fortress behind them continued to launch attacks, not as dense as the first rain-like barrage, but accurately hitting the center of the Gluttony Monster group.
What all the soldiers of the Western nations failed to notice was that the flesh and blood ground beneath their feet began to squirm continuously, and a tentacle slowly extended from the ground...
.......
On the other side, not far from the Royal Capital of Eldras, there once lay an endless plain. The Kingdom of Eldras initially relied on the large amount of food produced by this plain to barely feed all the citizens of the Kingdom of Eldras.
But now, the original plain had become a towering mountain of flesh and blood, tens of thousands of meters high. Countless tentacles, each thousands of meters thick, were constantly waving on the towering mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, countless Gluttony Monsters were making unconscious roars.
Inside the mountain, within a cavern that could be compared to the size of a city, a magic circle suddenly appeared in a corner, and five figures appeared silently. Even a Gluttony Monster lying on the ground beside them did not notice the presence of these people so close by.
"Is this the lair of those monsters?"
The Hero, Shinju Maya, with golden short hair, looked at everything before him with a solemn expression. Even though he had known before that the monsters had grown to be indescribably terrifying, completely indescribable, he still couldn't help but feel a burst of fear from the bottom of his heart when he truly saw the monsters' lair.
Before them was a huge, boundless cavern. In the dim environment, the viscous flesh and blood ground was constantly squirming, and countless thick roots were covered with dense nodules. Those dark red, mucus-covered nodules were constantly pulsating like hearts.
With each pulsation of the nodules, a dark red light would be emitted, and one could clearly see the Gluttony Monsters growing inside the nodules.
"It's just like those indescribable gods in the novels before I was summoned to this world, but fortunately, this isn't one of them, it's just that monster's unique skill."
At this time, the Hero Trina, enduring the discomfort and nausea from the bottom of her heart and soul, looked at the fleshy sphere in the center of the cavern, which was comparable to the size of an ordinary mountain. The fleshy sphere was covered with countless tentacles covered with eyes and giant mouths of varying sizes.
Those eyes were unconsciously looking around, and the giant mouths full of fangs were making meaningless roars.
This appearance was exactly like the indescribable gods Trina had seen in novels before she was summoned to this world as a Hero, but what made her fortunate was that although this monster had similar abilities, the difference between it and the indescribable evil gods in the novels was simply unbelievably large.
After all, those indescribable evil gods could instantly pollute and distort an entire world the moment they appeared in a world, while the one in front of them could at most pollute and erode demons and humans.
In addition, most importantly, those indescribable evil gods could not only erode and distort the body and soul, but even thoughts, knowledge, and voices would be polluted. Just knowing the existence of those indescribable evil gods would cause one to be uncontrollably distorted and polluted.
And the monster in front of them was only emitting a kind of distorted and chaotic power, and had not yet reached that terrifying level.
"Alright, stop talking."
At this time, Shinju Maya, at the front of the group, interrupted Trina's words, after all, the most important thing now was to prepare to eliminate the monster in front of them, and not to discuss the existence of indescribable evil gods, which could be considered a taboo.
"But, who is that Oni girl?"
At this time, the Shield Hero in the group raised his hand and pointed to the two Oni girls sitting and playing with slimes on the fleshy sphere in the center of the cavern. They had seen the Oni Flora before, but they had never seen the girl beside her, who had a pair of black Oni horns on her head and looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old porcelain doll.
Of course, most importantly, that Oni girl who looked like a porcelain doll gave them an incredible pressure, even exceeding the several Demon Lord species they had temporarily sealed before.
"She should be the strongest member of these monsters, and should have been guarding here all along."
Shinju Maya looked at Sally, who was playing with the slime in her hand with a laughable smile, and slowly said that in his opinion, Sally should be the strongest combat power among these monsters, and had been guarding the fleshy sphere monster beneath her.
After all, this fleshy sphere monster's unique skill was to create the source of Gluttony Monsters, and it definitely needed the strongest combat power to guard it.
