Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

The wind was cold and the sky was dark. The nights in the Anzeta Wasteland were always so cold and desolate - but today was different.

The trajectory of the artillery fire cut through the dark sky, weaving a bright and dazzling dense network in the sky, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime, and also illuminating the hideous faces of the demons in the dark.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The artillery fire did not stop at all, and even the frequency did not decrease.

This is the current military strength of the Burning Empire.

The war has been going on for a whole day, but the defenders of the Empire Wall have not even used up their reserve shells, and ammunition is still being transported from the north.

In the surging demon tide, extremely terrifying smiling faces flashed by.

These bat-winged, tall demons can only barely recognize their entities with their teeth and claws, and the rest are hidden in the darkness, blending into the shadows.

They are shadow demons, known as hunters in the night.

It is said that when a particularly jealous soul is pulled into the abyss, it deforms, splits and recombines with other souls until a body full of jealousy and malice without any entity appears - this is the shadow demon.

The shadow demons shuttled and flew in the shadows, easily avoiding the bombardment of artillery fire again and again, and stepped into the dangerous minefield.

They flew close to the ground like ghosts, unable to trigger the mines at all, but in a few breaths, the shadow demons arrived in front of the wall of the empire.

"Ah-"

"Hehehe, you can't stop the abyss."

A series of chaotic black shadows swam on the ground, and the low and hoarse laughter of the shadow demons echoed in front of the fortress, which was creepy.

In fact, they were looking for objects to possess.

Rumors about demonic possession are very common, and ignorant people often use it to explain weird or violent behavior. Although most of these cases only show madness or mental disorder, it is usually done by the shadow demon.

When war comes, shadow demons will possess enemy soldiers and generals, making them suspicious and jealous of their own comrades.

In the bunker, Adroville looked at the shadows and instantly determined their origins, and said anxiously: "That's the shadow demon!

We must find their traces as soon as possible! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"

However, at the moment he spoke, several soldiers inside the Empire Wall had already revealed an imperceptible strange smile on their faces, filled with a faint black air.

Doro looked surprised, but still remained calm: "Shadow demon?"

Adroville closed his eyes tightly and cast several detection spells in succession. When he opened his eyes again, bursts of starlight appeared in his silver pupils.

He explained with a serious expression:

"This kind of demon is a combination of the power of the abyss and the shadow. It can travel through the shadows and possess mortals. It is extremely difficult to deal with, unless there is..."

"Shua——"

Suddenly, a dazzling light lit up, and a new sun appeared in the sky. The area of ​​hundreds of meters was shrouded in this divine light.

"No——"

"Ahhh——"

"Damn mortals, how could you have such power!"

The possessed soldiers struggled and twisted on the ground, bursts of black smoke appeared on their bodies, and twisted black shadows wailed.

In the end, accompanied by the twisted turning into dust, the light completely purified these shadow demons, leaving only the possessed soldiers who were at a loss.

"Legendary priest of light."

Adrovel muttered to himself, and then he continued to finish his unfinished words.

"Marshal Doro, I come to assist in accordance with His Majesty's order."

The woman holding a scepter and wearing a white robe with gold inlay walked out of the light and nodded slightly in Doro's direction to show respect.

She was the former honorary bishop of the Church of Amaunator and the current court priest of the empire-Ingrid.

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Ingrid."

Dolo also greeted her, with an ugly smile on his face, and even the fangs at the corners of his mouth were revealed.

"You are too polite, this is all for the empire, not to mention that it is my job to dispel the demons."

Ingrid nodded again, showing a polite smile, and her beautiful eyes flickered.

Doro put his hand on his chest and responded: "Of course, it's all for the empire."

And Adrovel widened his eyes, extremely shocked, and felt incredible-the Burning Empire actually recruited a legendary priest of light!

You should know that these beings are basically pure lawful good people, and will never agree with the Empire, a force with a color of aggression and expansion.

Ingrid also saw Adrovel next to her and said, "You must be the Lord of the Guardian Scale, a righteous man who has been fighting against demons for many years."

Adrovel said with great satisfaction, "You are flattering, ma'am."

Then, Ingrid turned around, slowly closed her eyes, and gradually floated in the air, with the scepter placed horizontally on her chest.

When Ingrid opened her eyes again, golden-red flames were already dancing in her pupils.

Looking at the surging demon tide and dense artillery fire in the distance, Ingrid was deeply moved and couldn't help whispering.

"Empire."

A few years ago, in that battle, she was coerced by the emperor and forced to sign a contract under the threat of life to serve the Empire for thirty years.

During these years, Ingrid witnessed the growth of the empire, saw the new life that the emperor brought to people, and also saw the dark side full of blood.

Later, she paid attention to the tragic war in the south, and sighed for the people of Fadlan who died in the war.

Until now, she has been a little confused.

What is right?

The three descendants of the emperor who claimed to have sacred blood started a war for their own selfish desires, causing countless people to lose their homes.

On the contrary, this "Evil Dragon Emperor" made the Anzeta people live a life of food and clothing, bringing them a new order.

Maybe letting the empire rule Fadlan is the right choice?

No matter which choice is right, it is always right to eliminate demons and resist the invasion of the abyss.

Instead of thinking about what is the right path, it is better to solve the inevitable mistakes.

"Huh"

Finally, Ingrid sighed, she chose to eliminate these distractions and focus on solving the upcoming demons.

The priest raised her hand, and the scepter rose high into the sky with her movements, releasing endless light, like the sun rising in the dark night.

"Boom--"

The light energy gradually gathered, and a golden wall slowly rose from the ground, making all the demons hiding in the darkness nowhere to hide.

Even the shadow demons that were still shuttling in the shadows and trying to pass through the wall were directly burned, emitting painful roars and vicious curses.

[Wall of Light]

"For the empire, or for this world."

Ingrid was suspended in the sky, staring at the burning demons with cold eyes, and whispered. (End of this chapter)
