Chapter 286 - 41 Total Collapse
"The Sea People’s invasion came without warning, and within a single day, half of the Empire’s territories were submerged under the merciless sea. The endless waters continued to rise ruthlessly, swallowing the lands of the Human Race.
By the next morning, the Empire’s two grand legions, hidden from the world for ten thousand years, arrived at the Continent of God’s Grace via the Unfallen Throne.
They were the Empire’s most powerful forces, the immortal legions forged by the complete commitment of the Prolo and Xaher families. Each soldier in these legions possessed the strength of the Third Transition Early Stage, a true Third Transition legion. Although the two Commanders of the legions were not quite at the level of the Tower Master, they were not far behind.
What’s more, the most critical issue was their identity—they were all citizens of God’s Grace. It was known that even if warriors were summoned from other planes to aid God’s Grace, no matter what, they would suffer from the natural suppression of the higher planes and experience a decrease in strength by one or two tiers, severely diminishing their combat effectiveness. However, these two legions were completely unrestricted.
The Sea People’s originally overwhelming attack was cut in half upon the arrival of these two legions. The previously unbridled Sea People finally tasted the power of humanity as three million of their vanguard troops perished on the mainland, burned to ashes by a great fire.
Nathias and many other powerful beings fought fiercely against a group of Human Race warriors for seven days and seven nights, ending with both sides severely damaged. The Sea People temporarily halted their advance, while the Empire gained a moment to breathe.
But Konstantin knew that there wasn’t much time left. The sea was boundless, and there were too many hidden Sea People. Moreover, with the release of the Extreme Demon Abyss, all creatures with Demon Beast attributes would have their strength enhanced by the Demonic Qi in the coming days, including the Sea People, making the war even more difficult.
Every surge of the waves brought millions of Sea People warriors, constantly sent to the frontlines. Caesar’s expression was grave, standing with Nightingale and Kuang Shi on either side, both looking extremely weak.
"Konstantin has made a foolish decision," Caesar said gravely, "The Demon-Slaying and Demon-Hunting legions should not have been released from the Extreme Demon Abyss!"
"Master, why have I never heard of these two legions before?" asked Kuang Shi curiously.
