Chapter 626
The Allied Forces had originally planned to take back several small to medium-sized cities on their way to Gersonosia.
But with the Immortals now handling the tasks once managed by the Demon King’s army, and doing so with remarkable speed and precision, the Allied Forces advanced with unstoppable momentum. They marched forward without having to engage in any battles. Their path was eerily clear of monsters. At most, they encountered the remains of the creatures, already reduced to pieces.
This unexpected turn of events was welcomed by everyone, regardless of the reasons behind it.
The cities they passed through showed signs of recent, massive carnage, which seemed strange. Rumors began to circulate that the Empire had deployed a massive vanguard. But wasn’t it a relief that there were no battles?
The military leaders had suspected, at least to some extent, that the Empire might have the ability to field a powerful large-scale unit. That force now comprised the Immortals.
While the specific capabilities of this vanguard remained a mystery, their ability to devastate small to medium-sized cities was seen as a promising sign for the main forces.
However...
Whoosh...
“What is this?”
Gersonosia, the initial target of this advance and the site where a major battle was anticipated, had already been reduced to ashes by the vanguard.
Connor Lint was the first to witness the scene.
An unknown, large-scale military unit had not only destroyed the small to medium-sized cities along the way, but had also obliterated the large city of Gersonosia, along with all its gates and monsters.
