World-Ending Demon Emperor

Capítulo 1601: Chapter 709: Northern Expedition Against the Heaven Demon Banner! Courting Death!

A full one million strong Imperial Guards of the Ghost King Empire.

Among them were 800,000 infantry, 170,000 cavalry, and 30,000 various sky legions.

All the soldiers were still clad in armor, but beneath the armor, there were no bodies, only souls and skeletons.

Not only the soldiers but also the warhorses and flying mounts were reduced to skeletons.

Thus, this was truly a Skeleton Legion.

The Eternal Curse World was more like a special energy field, existing between life and death, a world of energy between yin and yang.

At that time, Lanling, within the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, also dwelled in such a world between yin and yang.

The only difference was that in the dimensional realm of the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, time did not flow.

Whereas, in the Eternal Curse World, time flowed normally.

The Eternal Curse World was part of an energy gate, an incomplete energy gate.

From this, it could be seen that the Ancient Demon Emperor had acquired relevant knowledge from the power of the stars and then proceeded to construct the energy gate. However, his cultivation might not have been high enough, or perhaps he was interrupted, leaving this energy gate half complete, forming an Eternal Curse World.

All life that entered this Eternal Curse World would become completely immortal, seemingly severing all ties with the Netherworld.

The Skeleton Army surged like a tide from the exit of the Eternal Curse World.

Only after several hours did the one million-strong Skeleton Legion finish assembling on the sea surface.

Without any ships, this Skeleton Legion simply stood upon the sea. Without physical bodies, they seemed to have no weight, effortlessly floating above the water.

Moreover, this immortal legion required no supplies, no clothing, and no food.

Thousands of years ago, this army roamed invincibly within the Demon Territory. Now, as they transformed into the Skeleton Legion, their combat power was more astonishingly formidable.

“Northwards, advance!” At the command of the Rakshasa Ghost Mother, the one million-strong Skeleton Legion grandly crossed the sea to the north.

The massive army, spreading over dozens of miles.

Wherever the Skeleton Legion passed, the sky filled with dark clouds, blocking the sunlight.

The path of the Skeleton Legion resembled nightfall.

Like a hellish green tide, they surged toward the sea region of the Heaven Demon Banner.

…

Within Rakshasa City!

With the spread by those with vested interests, everyone came to know about the terrifying military order signed by the Little Rakshasa King.

Everyone knew that the Little Rakshasa King defied his father’s decree, resolutely dispatching the powerful 200,000-strong Aerial Expeditionary Force to the Dichacha Defensive Line.

Once his judgment was wrong, and if the Demon Empire’s united front did not attack the Dichacha Clan, the Little Rakshasa King would be stripped of his crown prince status.

Furthermore, the contents of the military order were spread throughout the Rakshasa Domain at the fastest speed.

Those with agendas aimed to cut off the Little Rakshasa King’s retreat.

And they fabricated public opinion, claiming that the Little Rakshasa King was supporting outsiders. A powerful army should have stayed to protect the Rakshasa Tribe instead of heading to the Dichacha Clan. “You are the Rakshasa Crown Prince, not the Dichacha Clan’s Crown Prince.”

Some tried to create a trend of people pushing a fallen wall, attempting to tarnish the image of the Rakshasa Crown Prince in the eyes of the people.

Yet contrary to their desires, the entire Rakshasa City, even the whole Rakshasa Domain, maintained a quiet calm.

Aside from Prince You Ming’s loyal forces, no one else attacked the Rakshasa Crown Prince collectively. Instead, the vast majority of the Rakshasa people felt a sense of admiration for the Rakshasa Crown Prince in their hearts.

Of course, they did not understand the Demon Alliance’s upper-level strategies, nor did they know whether Tiancha King would attack the Rakshasa Tribe first or the Dichacha Clan first. Simply seeing the countless troops amassed at the Rakshasa Tribe’s border, most of the Rakshasa citizens assumed the war would erupt at their borders.

But in the Demon Territory, what they revered most was heroism.

Facing millions, he advanced forward; this momentum alone could win people’s hearts.

The Rakshasa Crown Prince singlehandedly resisted the will of the six great Demon Kings of the Demon Alliance, even using his crown prince status as a gamble, firmly sending the Expeditionary Army to the Dichacha Clan.

Was this for personal gain?

Absolutely not, it was for the greater cause, for the entire Demon Race.

This heroic spirit garnered countless admiration from people’s hearts.

As for the Rakshasa Crown Prince dispatching an army that should have defended the Rakshasa Tribe to the Dichacha Clan, would he incur resentment from his own Rakshasa Tribe’s citizens?

If it were within the Human Kingdom, this would likely be the case, almost certainly.

But here in the Demon Territory, although the upper echelon had become political and interest-driven.

The lower-level Rakshasa citizens remained brave and fearless of death. They aspired to courage, to war. The Little Rakshasa King sending the Expeditionary Army to the Dichacha Clan actually fueled their pride. Content orıginally comes from novel·fiɾe·net

Look, you Dichacha Clan claim to be the strongest? You still need our Rakshasa Tribe to send troops for rescue.

Thus, after the military command incident, the people’s support for the Little Rakshasa King didn’t decline but instead surged.

However, this wouldn’t change any situation.

If the Demon Empire’s united front didn’t attack the Dichacha Clan and attacked the Rakshasa Tribe instead, the Rakshasa Crown Prince’s position would undoubtedly be lost.

Is there a possibility of Tiancha King waging war on two fronts?

Simultaneously attacking the Dichacha Clan and the Rakshasa Tribe?

The Little Rakshasa King and Lanling analyzed many times and completely ruled out this possibility.

Firstly, at the Rakshasa Tribe’s border, both sides’ absolute main forces were assembled, predestining a protracted battle.

Secondly, with the Rakshasa King’s character, he easily turned into a peacekeeper. It had always been Tiancha King’s target to win over. As long as Tiancha King didn’t attack the Rakshasa Tribe but demonstrated overwhelming strength, then the Rakshasa Tribe was most likely to surrender.
