Chapter 558: Alanic Appears
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In every region, demons, undead, and devils could be seen everywhere. Chaos and war became the main attraction. The gods who were stripped of their power were seeking to rise again, while the hunters in the dark set their sights on these gods and hoped to replace them.
The evil god led a massive demon army and started rebuilding hell in the Main Plane.
The Undead triggered another wave of undead calamity.
Numerous towns were breached, which caused countless civilians to be displaced.
Food supply began to run scarce, and prices skyrocketed.
The prices of weapons and equipment also surged rapidly.
The problem of scarcity of resources began to become more apparent.
The entire Main Plane was plunged into an extremely tense atmosphere.
Under external dangers, the original structure of the Main Plane began to collapse, and the dominion of many empires dropped.
A new situation centered around major cities as the core.
Many cities began to effectively assert their independence. They were no longer under anyone’s control.
The rulers of those cities became new kings and new gods!
Uncontrolled city-states, combined with the shattered order of the Main Plane, formed a new order.
Many Lords referred to it as the Age of City-States.
A completely new situation had taken shape.
After half a month of dark turmoil, the Lords began to seek new benefits despite unprecedented losses suffered by the Main Plane. They had survived by relying on other cities before, but now, their fears were appeased.
The threat of Chaos Demons, who were difficult to organize for effective attacks, diminished. The Devil Lords also slowed down their advances after occupying the territories they desired.
As for the undead, they started consolidating the territories they had occupied. They were no longer expanding recklessly.
The situation stabilized to some extent. Although this stability was still fragile, it was temporarily effective.
News disrupted the silence of the territories.
“Many spatial rifts have appeared a hundred miles away from the territory.” Timo looked at Su Wan.
A multitude of demons were pouring forth from those rifts.
The surrounding troops had gone to lend support, but there were too many demons for them to overcome.
Moreover, there seemed to be a mastermind behind these chaotic beings. They gradually advanced towards the territory.
Initial estimates suggested that the number of these demons would exceed three hundred thousand. If there was a mastermind behind them, the number could be even higher.
Now, they waited for Su Wan’s orders.
“How strong are the demons? Are there any transcendent heroes among them?” Su Wan frowned and looked at Timo.
“We haven’t seen any yet. Although the Main Plane allows demons to enter, the rules haven’t been completely relaxed, so demons above the transcendent level are still restricted from appearing,” Timo said solemnly.
Although this restriction might not last long, they had a moment to catch their breath for now.
“Capture a few demons for interrogation. We need to know which layer of the Abyss the rift leads to. Also, immediately convey this information to Modric and prepare the Death Swamp for battle!” Su Wan eased a little.
Simultaneously, orders were given for the armies of Dark Region City and the Tasiria Plane to be on standby for immediate action!
“As you wish!” Timo said loudly. His gaze was determined.
There was no fear in his heart, but rather a sense of eagerness.
After so long of developing the territory, war was needed to test the fruits of their labor.
Once Timo left, Su Wan thought for a moment and called for Terry.
After half a year of growth, Terry was just a step away from reaching the transcendent level.
Currently, Terry was responsible for guarding the territory. When Su Wan and Xu Yuan were absent, he had the authority to mobilize the troops within the territory.
“How are the defense preparations at the moment?” Su Wan looked at Terry.
“After half a year of preparations, we have sufficient strategic reserves!” Terry’s voice sounded somewhat hollow but serious.
There were a total of eight hundred improved modified cannons mounted on the city walls, with an additional twenty thousand in the rear which were ready for replacement.
Eighty special-grade arrow towers were also positioned. Each was capable of holding eight hundred archers.
The Dragon Hunter Crossbows were equipped on every arrow tower, with an additional five hundred on the city walls.
Each Dragon Hunter Crossbow was equipped with fifty Dragon Hunter Bolts, and there were still a hundred thousand stored in the warehouse.
Three newly completed Magic Towers were ready for use. Each tower could accommodate three hundred spellcasters. The controller could attack enemies from the tower without needing to climb the walls!
Su Wan was satisfied with the preparations.
During this time, the territory didn’t remain idle. Various military facilities were constructed day and night.
Su Wan looked at the unit panel.
From the onset of the chaotic situation, the territory had been constantly adding troops.
And recently, they had started large-scale recruitment again.
This significantly boosted the number of units at their disposal.
Under the support of various industries, the number of units in the territory had reached an exaggerated level.
The main force of the territory was even more staggering, with nearly fifty thousand soldiers.
These were all top-tier units, and they possessed special-grade technology!
This didn’t even include the transcendent units from the Death Swamp.
The turmoil caused by the gods being stripped of their power hadn’t hindered the territory’s growth under Su Wan’s advanced planning. While others were in a crisis, the territory had taken advantage of the time to make great developments.
These armies were Su Wan’s powerful backing. She wanted to see how effective these demons would be as test subjects!
In the Bottomless Abyss, lonely, dark, and decay shrouded the entire plane. The sky was filled with blood-red clouds, and lightning tore through the sky.
A humanoid lifeform with a horribly distorted face was seated high on a throne made of countless rotting corpses.
Its appearance resembled a corpse that had been submerged in water for too long. A tattered black shroud with mottled bloodstains draped over its body. Even the sight of it sent shivers down one’s spine.
The Lord of Decay ruled the Abyss. He was once the master of countless demons.
But now, he had lost his authority.
An ancient evil being stared at the void in front of it. Its gaze revealed an indescribable fear.
“As a ruler of the Abyss, you don’t even have a decent guard by your side now. How pitiful!” said a voice in mockery.
The space in front rippled like water.
A beautiful elf with pointed ears traversed the space and appeared before the Lord of Decay.
The lower half of the elf’s body was a ferocious spider’s torso!
Heaven and hell converged in her form.
She was the Spider Goddess of the Bottomless Abyss and the ultimate existence that had schemed to incite the War of the Gods. She was the Spider Queen, Alanic.
This was an existence whose reputation alone could make the majority of evil beings in the Bottomless Abyss tremble in fear.
She was one of the symbols of the Abyss..
