Chapter 853 The Beginning of the War



Chapter 853 The Beginning of the War?

After Blood and Smoke separated from the women of Lothur to hunt spectres, the weeks passed while the continent was still at peace.

Soon after the meeting of the continental experts, the world coalition was made official, and the major sects, clans, and organizations began to prepare for war.

The Demon Emperor's return had not taken long to be confirmed, which had rapidly accelerated the pace of the continent's defense force formation.

Just a few days after the great meeting in Rablus, the continent's most powerful forces sent late 4th and early 5th-stage people to work full-time for Concordia's defense forces.

A fraction of the continent's specialists would initially stay out of the war, staying in their headquarters or major cities to maintain local security. As soon as the Demon Emperor's return was confirmed, organizations across the continent began lockdowns, city closures, and many other measures to suppress non-essential movement.

Those who were weaker were forced to stay in their cities or sects, while only the strongest were allowed to venture outside the cities.

Meanwhile, the groups of the coalition had been formed and divided and had already begun to scour the continent in search of demons.

The war hadn't actually started in those weeks, but the entire continent was in a state of war. However, it was only a matter of time before a major event would occur, and a bloody period in local history would begin!

And that time was not far away!

...

In Norid, at the headquarters of the Seraphim Church...

One of the church's senior elders had just received disturbing news from one of his groups on the state's southern border.

"Elders, a huge group of demons, at least 200 of them, is about to attack a town of over 40,000 people! Please send reinforcements as soon as possible! I'm afraid everyone here will be devoured in a matter of hours!"

The message sent by one of the Ritter Motor Company's cars was repeated once again, while the level 21 old man turned pale as he felt that this was the beginning of the war.

Nothing much had happened in the past few weeks except for a few small battles between enemies and members of the coalition. But even if one were to count the number of demons seen in the last month, he wouldn't even be able to count 20 creatures.

However, the number of demons the coalition man mentioned was ridiculously high!

That could only be the sign of the end of peace and the beginning of war!

"This message reached us an hour ago. We lost contact after that." A man who was weaker than the person standing at the church headquarters said this to him, indicating that something worse might have happened.

"What do you mean we lost contact after that?"

"We didn't get any more answers. But a group is already moving in that direction. We'll have news in an hour at the most." Said the man in charge of communications at the site.

The coalition that was formed was somewhat complex. When they formed the alliance for life in Concordia weeks ago, the strongest immediately divided the group into warriors to be sent to the front and warriors to protect the inhabited areas. Meanwhile, outposts for relaying communications were already scattered across the continent, and many men were working to keep the coalition's communications active.

To better accomplish this work, the coalition was using the Ritter Motor Company vehicles, following the advice of Lothur's women to spread their company vehicles across the continent.

Through them, a person in the Petha Empire could now communicate almost instantly with someone in Ashen on the other side of the continent!

Because of this, the recent attack on a small city on the border between Thasan and Norid had been quickly noticed, and members of the entire coalition had already been alerted.

While this man from the coalition's communications department was reporting the local official, information about the incident was already being relayed to all outposts across the continent. At the same time, reinforcements had been dispatched immediately after the distress call, and more information could arrive at any moment.

Knowing this, the man standing by was not so afraid of receiving such news since several others would already know about it, and the information would not be lost.

The man in charge then said. "All right, raise the alert level of the state. This morning, a war may have broken out on the border between our state and Thasan. Let our people know that we are now at war!"

...

Meanwhile, on the demon side, on Demon Island...

The Demon Emperor was still on the island, having awakened from his long "sleep" after his defeat in the last war.

After being brought to the home of the demons, he devoured several human corpses brought to him by his subordinates, regaining more than 70% of his strength.

However, he would still be on this island until the end of the month, when he would reach his full recovery!

But even though he still needed time to recover, he was well enough to begin his plans!

As he stood on the power throne of Demon Island, a black-haired man who looked relatively young was watching the first action of his people that would begin the takeover of Concordia!

"Supreme Leader, I bring good news!" A Monarch demon bowed to the Demon Emperor in a large hall, where several demon women in very little clothing were lying here and there, the smell of their corpses lingering in the air.

"Speak!" The black-haired man, who wore no clothes but whose private parts were covered by a woman's head, said in a deep tone full of power.

"The first battalion has successfully wiped out a city between Norid and Thasan. Our sent men are fed and ready to advance." The demon said, not daring to look his leader in the eye.

The plan of the demons was not complex. They wanted to destroy Concordia by devouring the living beings of such lands, especially the humans. To do this, the Demon Emperor would send many groups to these lands to destroy cities and devour thousands of people.

Each group sent could reduce the number of enemies and become stronger after only a few weeks of seclusion!

But that wasn't all. The Demon Emperor intended to keep his many enemies busy with chaos throughout Concordia, enough so that he and his most trusted generals could deal with their advances on their own.

Weaker demons took a long time to digest what they ate, but stronger ones could do it quickly. Thus, by acting together against a few small groups of high-level human Sages, the demon tribe could easily use the chaos of war to raise their level.

With a group of several level 25 demons and a level 26 leader, it would be impossible for the Concordia coalition to stop them!

"Perfect. Order the next 20 groups to begin their attacks. I want these human lands to go up in flames!"
