MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

An hour later, Barre’s resistance grew weaker and weaker, until finally, there was no movement within the military base.

Wu Jiang left the mountain summit contentedly. From now on, the million-strong orc army was under his control.

Xie’an entered the command post, where Wu Jiang’s military deployment map was left behind. The Demon Abyss was very long and narrow, and the military base served as the only entrance to it. The mountains on either side had a very peculiar environment that could naturally drain the magic power from climbers’ bodies. It was relying on these mountains that the orc army, with their own strong physiques, managed to cross the base and caught the empire off-guard. Eventually, they attacked from both sides and captured it.

Now that Xie’an had retaken the base, he had effectively seized control of the only passage out of the Demon Abyss. This time, Xie’an would not make the same elementary mistake as the Demon Slayer and Demon Hunter legions had before, allowing the orc army to escape through the mountains on both sides.

With the vanguard successful, Marshal Xie’an immediately ordered the allied armies to set out and launched a general assault on the orc army entrenched in the Demon Abyss.

Wu Jiang naturally did not fear war and saw this battle as an opportunity to deal with Barre’s personal troops.

Due to the narrow stretch of the Demon Abyss, the million-strong armies on both sides could not spread out into proper formations. The fight was like two groups battling in a corridor, where only after the ones at the very front fell could those behind them take their place and join the fray.

And such battlefield conditions seemed to be somewhat more advantageous for the human race. Their long-range spells could inflict maximum damage, while, on the other hand, the orc legion had limited mastery over magic. Aside from the support of heavy weapons and cannons, they could only rely on blessings from totems to fend off the magic attacks from the allied forces.

This battle lasted a full three months, and yet, despite such fierce fighting, the casualties on both sides did not exceed thirty percent.

Meanwhile, outside the Demon Abyss, Tai’e also became aware of the troop movements of several major powers and their intentions. He decisively ordered an all-out strike on the Holy Divine Empire, attempting to alleviate the pressure on the orc army in the Demon Abyss.

The peace brought about by Lu Hong’s grand wedding was ultimately shattered. The borders between the two great empires were ablaze with never-ending warfare, resulting in heavy casualties.
