BXBX NOVEL Chapter 577 Lord Raven's Arrival
Lord Raven's eyes flickered and so was everyone who was elated to see him appear.
Before they realized everything, countless teleportation portals lit up in the sky.
From the time the first attack had happened through Rachana's Army until now, the battle has been running for one night and a day.
Now the surroundings were already darkening, and so the purple light that appeared as a signal of Lord Raven's descent had already caught everyone's attention. Especially the ones in the nearby rescue island and the coastal island.
Now the appearance of countless array portals made it seem like the stars suddenly descended in the sky.
Then one by one, several personalities appeared out of the teleportation portal.
First were the members of the Crimson Blades and the Roaming Blades. They were a small army that had grown into five hundred but none of those who saw them knew that they were both the light and shadow of Leon's war operations!
Next were the two grandmasters, Grandpa Ben, and Grandpa Andi, they were accompanied by General Farauld and Randel as their second in command. With them was an army of a thousand men each.
Then came the united army of the remnants of the temple, those who remained pure and uncorrupted. They were led by High Priest Enoch with the High Priest of the Croix territory as the second in command.
There were also the various members of the elves, dwarves, dragons, and the other clans of the Green Wave continent led by the respective deputy leaders of their own races.
Although their highest in command, their chiefs were nowhere to be found, the strength of their deputy leaders was all renowned and cannot be underestimated.
Finally was the army of the Seirende Empire and their Allied nations. Just like the Greenwave continent, they were not led by their respective kings, instead, their highest figures were Kazimir and Antoine.
The other members of the allied forces have also sent their strongest offspring into the war. That was because they already knew that Emperor Valentin was giving his everything on the line for sending all of his sons to war!
Even among the armies were the most prominent nobles of the Seirende Empire, like the Astaze family, the Cross family, and many more!
As the strongest figures of the army, Grandmaster Andi, Grandmaster Reuben, and High Priest Enoch all stepped forward and met the gaze of Lord Raven.
"So you are trying to do one last struggle, I assume." Lord Raven was not even a little bit intimidated by the grand entrance of the armies on Leon's side.
Instead, he looked at them as if they were insects trying to burn themselves in fire. He released his sinister oppressive aura as he said these words with his voice which sounded like two people.
Everyone from the armies frowned, this is the root of all evil in Seirende! He was really scary and revolting at the same time!
Though they felt scared of Lord Raven's appearance, their desire to fight against him did not diminish in the slightest.
When Lord Raven's glance swept the armies, he noticed two figures with red blood hair and crystal blue eyes. His eyes flickered as he flashed a creepy smile, "So the rest of the Seirende's spawns are here. This saves me a lot of time to wipe out your existence one by one."
When Lord Raven said these words, his voice changed into only one person. The voices were filled with a deep hatred towards the descendants of the Seirende.
Kazimir, Antoine, and the rest of the core members of the Seirende Empire immediately recognize that the one who was talking was probably the long-lost ancestor of the Vesala clan, way back from the founding of the empire.
Otherwise, no one can explain the deep hatred they could feel in his tone towards the Seirende Imperial Family.
Leon raised his head and looked at the army that appeared before them. Judging from their numbers, they were probably assembled at the fastest possible time and there were still a significant number of armies stationed on each fort determined beforehand.
'But this is good as well… no one would have expected that the battle in the holy island would escalate into this scale.' He thought.
Now the biggest problem was the size of each army was now too huge for the island itself.
It was already too big for the Vanderford-Spectre army earlier, but now it is even smaller.
The people in the nearest coastal area all shook in perturbation.
They also packed up immediately and carried their children and women away from the battlefield.
If it was before, they thought that their Empire's army would have finished the battle earlier and they stayed in hopes of having a chance to plunder after the war.
But seeing it escalate into something this big, they regretted not running for refuge earlier! Now they could not even guarantee that they could run far enough so that they would not be implicated in the war before them.
There was a long lull between the battlefield that only increased the tension between the two sides.
Lord Raven was not keen on making a move either.
He only looked at the opponents without care and no one seemed to know what he wanted to do.
Seeing this, Wade, who was the representative of the merfolk, raised his weapon and struck it in the waters.
The waves of the ocean suddenly moved. In conjunction with that, the other mages also moved, and out of the receding waters emerged a vast solid land.
In an instant, the small holy island was suddenly connected to the coastal area of the Vanderford Continent, and a large battleground was formed!
The face of the Vanderford-Spectre army darkened. The enemies were forcing them to fight in their own land and even attempt to implicate people!
That also meant that once their side had fallen to the enemies, the United Alliance would invade their continent immediately after winning!
Although this was a cunning move, it was also a great gamble for the United Alliance's side, because they were basically trapping themselves in the terrain with no route to escape unless they spent another large amount of resources to reactivate a teleportation array.
Seeing the move by the enemy, Lord Raven found them amusing. He laughed crazily as if he was looking for a group of children who were trying to rebel against adults.
"Hahahaha!" His laughter roared in the entire battlefield giving everyone on both sides creeps on the back of their spine. His laugh and actions were extremely sinister, utter evil.
"Since you want to fight, I'll let you fight…" He looked at the armies in front of him and pointed at the purple light pillar which was still lighting brightly behind him.
"Brace yourselves, I'll let you fight until you can't anymore!" Lord Raven smiled crazily and his face suddenly changed from a creepy devilish fallen angel to a true devil!
Leon and the others lifted their swords in preparation but there was no movement on the army enemy's side.
Instead, on the various territories where the altars lit up and the purple light pillars appeared, there descended a huge colony of winged beasts that had four horns and fangs that extended longer than their faces.
Their claws were sharpened with diamond and their tails were filled with spikes!
Chaos spread on all lands, regardless if it was the Vanderford or Seriende… except for Greenwave who fortunately did not have any altar present. Unfortunately, the Holy Island is quite near them, so the possibility of these creatures flying toward the Green Wave continent is rather high.
"Fight my army of Behemoths! Let me see if you can prevent yourselves from becoming food to its stomach!"
In the Headquarters of the United Alliance, reports after the report appeared and threw the leaders into chaos.
"What you are saying is that our kingdom was swarmed with an unknown army of beasts?"
"Your Highness! There were sightings in the Mellenberg Territory as well!"
"Your Majesty! There was an army of beasts appearing on multiple parts of the Seirende Empire and the rest of the continent!"
The remaining leaders in the headquarters have serious and anxious faces.
They did not expect what kind of change the purple pillar of light would bring to the war.
"What to do… we have already sent most of our senior and strongest army to the holy island!"
"Who can stand against these beasts?!"
"Are there any more we can send to respond to these places? We are not lacking in an army but we are truly lacking people who could lead the fight against these unknown creatures!" The leaders became worried.
Although they all had sent a portion of the army to the holy island, there were still enough soldiers to defend each of their own territories. But that was in case there would be a sudden attack against the armies of the Vanderford army.
Not on the mystical type of unknown beast appearing from the sinister pillars of light!
"There's no choice…" Emperor Valentin said, looking intensely at the leaders around.
"It's time for us to pick up our armors my fellow monarchs and leaders…We have already sent our next in line on the battlefield of the holy island…"
"If not us, who can defend our people against these monsters?!"
