Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 627 - 334: Decisive Battle at Pirate Islands, Balrog Flame Demon Appears_2
However, according to Beatrice's estimation, the demons have only recently started hunting around the Fallen Star Sea, and with their intelligence, it's hard to imagine them researching technology and demon modification to transform deep-sea monsters into their familiars.
The only ones with the financial and technical prowess to orchestrate such modifications can only be the King of the Star Group.
In this regard, they are definitely not unjustly blamed.
Even the Abyssal Church finds it difficult to control demonized creatures.
If it were purely to create chaos among nations, these deep-sea monsters wouldn't have waited until now to appear.
So the answer is clear...
The Abyssal Church has long known they could summon a Demon Legion Commander.
"Trouble, is it at least a legendary level demon?" She looked at Louis and whispered, "My dear, everything you said has come true. It seems we were right to make full preparations in advance."
Louis nodded, then directly looked at General Locke and said:
"Sir Locke, if your team is ready, would you be willing to join us in the assault on the Pirate Islands?"
General Locke frowned and said, "Why not wait until other allies gather before landing on the Pirate Islands."
"Time waits for no one." Louis said flatly, "They probably still have some means to understand the sea conditions, and even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone this group who wants to drag the world into chaos. I don't want to give them time."
"Too hasty."
"Fight, and we will win."
"Where to fight? There are many archipelagos ahead."
"Fight the entire archipelago!"
"???
General Locke was full of confusion, not understanding whether Louis was joking or not.
Louis smiled and said, "Even if you don't come with us now, I will take the initiative to attack."
"Such courage, but it's still too risky."
"If we only rely on the Soldier Tomb Army, we will certainly lack enough strength, which is why I stand here."
General Locke smiled and said, "I said it's too risky with just you going, but didn't say we wouldn't go."
His gaze sharpened: "The Pirate Islands are too far away; if they truly become a nest of demons, it will be difficult for us to intervene, and we lack enough ships."
"Yes, indeed, because many demons are naturally able to fly."
From the perspective of bloodline power alone, demons are undoubtedly a race as strong as dragons.
What's even more frightening is that, like dragons, they have early flight capabilities.
It's easy for demons with flying abilities to attack the coastal countries of the Fallen Star Sea, but organizing a large-scale army to counterattack the Abyssal Demons will be very difficult.
On ship combat, it's likely to damage the ships, making it difficult to fight freely.
If engaging in transoceanic combat, given the current shipbuilding speeds, by the time countries build ships suitable for delivering elite forces to engage, the Pirate Islands might already be desolate.
"Fight!"
At this moment, Ense and Lokeshi reached an agreement.
The ships sailed mightily towards the distant Pirate Islands, and as they moved, the shadows around them writhed like ink.
To the astonishment of others, hulking trolls and well-equipped cavalry emerged from the shadows.
"First, clear the surrounding twenty-two islands. All members of the Curse Binding Legion advance in formations of thirty-three. The Soldier Tomb Army should form groups of three for reconnaissance and logistical support."
"Everyone, advance with me!"
Under Louis's command, as the ships approached the shore, the Curse Binding Legion and Soldier Tomb Army landed and cleared the islands.
The speed and decisiveness of the actions made even General Locke turn his head.
"The forces are too dispersed." He frowned and said, "But the average strength is stronger than we imagined."
Louis replied, "If the forces aren't dispersed, they are nothing more than idle threats. I will stand as a paragon pinnacle and let them try to kill my soldiers."
General Locke couldn't help but focus his gaze on the young man.
Although he was prepared mentally, upon hearing Louis's declaration, he was still struck dumb.
It is said that the Prince of Ense is highly skilled, but his demeanor is quite "martial artist-like."
It doesn't quite fit the role of a tactician.
If Louis knew what General Locke was thinking, he'd merely find it amusing.
When he can't suppress others, he slightly relies on intellect.
When he can overpower others, he's naturally also skilled at a bit of physical combat.
Thus...
Limuru's Sapphire Purgatory Dragon form, release!
Sin Dragon Armament, Liberation Form, activate!
Invisible Blade Domain, Soldier Tomb, activate!
Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Pill, activate!
Boosting magic layering, activate!
A terrifying force emanated from him on the magic ship, making General Locke squint his eyes.
He could be sure that this power far surpassed the typical strength of a paragon, even unrelated to ordinary legends.
Undoubtedly, the power of a Demigod!
When this thought emerged in his mind, he found it incredible and was even frightened.
Indeed, as a high-ranking officer of the Lokeshi Empire, he was well aware of the earlier technical exchange between Prince Louis and the Sword Master, in which Louis held a slight advantage.
But technical exchange is one thing; actual combat strength is another.
Previously, he thought Prince Louis's victory was due to his exceptional skill, transcending the limitations of a paragon and forcibly elevating to the Sword Master's level.
Despite the impressive techniques, he assumed in actual combat, the endurance could not compare to an already legendary Sword Master, and he never thought Louis could match or even surpass him in full combat prowess.
But now, the steady power emanating from Louis gave him a sense of being as solid as a mountain.
That power was neither ephemeral nor like rootless floating goods.
No matter how incomprehensible or unwilling he felt, he had to admit, this was a monster that surpassed the Sword Master in every aspect.
"There are rumors that the Prince of Ense is a monster personally trained by the Emperor, so dangerous and formidable that he needed future Empress chains to tether this unmatched dragon."
This thought suddenly flickered through his mind.
In the past, he thought such claims were exaggerated, but not yesterday, only today...
He finally understood, it was real!
Limuru bore Louis into the air, transforming into lightning that streaked above the nearby islands.
The Pirate Islands were originally a group of only a few large islands.
But years ago, during the Mad King's War, the Emperor's hammer fell upon this sea area.
In an instant, the once-existing islands were sunk.
A terrifying impact spread through this place.
Some volcanic islands emerged from volcanic eruptions.
Some remnants of seabed were forcibly thrust above sea level under the heavy blows.
There were also ruins reconstructed from rubble and sand accumulated after the destruction of once large islands...
The marks of past wars transformed the initial few Pirate Islands into more than a hundred.
The overall size was also considerably reduced.
So when Louis descended from the sky, the Curse Binding Legion and Soldier Tomb Army quickly crushed some hidden Evil God Cultists amidst their frantic clamor as they swept through the islands at high speed.
The weaker Evil God Cultists were directly slain.
Stronger Evil God Cultists were accurately attacked through collaboration under the spiritual command of Beatrice on the distant Ense Flagship.
Suddenly, during the island-sweeping operation of a team, an unspeakably evil force burst into the sky.
It was an Abyssal Demon, with no nowhere to hide, forced to strike directly.
"A Balrog Flame Demon of level 20?"
Louis looked down towards the direction where the Balrog Flame Demon was rampaging.
The island, once lush with greenery, had turned into a sea of fire under the full might of the Balrog Flame Demon.
The squad formed by the Curse Binding Legion and Soldier Tomb Army was confronting it methodically.
But this squad lacked strong individuals, and as the Balrog Flame Demon was among the most adept fighters among Abyssal Demons, they quickly fell into disarray soon after the confrontation began.
The Balrog Flame Demon roared in fury. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
These damned humans dared to disturb the great demon.
As he was about to unleash his fiery wrath, he suddenly felt his world spin as his sight whirled around.
In the midst of the spin, he saw his prideful demonic body slowly kneeling on the ground.
In the sky above, a silhouette with eyes that seemed ablaze like the sun stretched out towards his direction.
Balrog Flame Demon, killed in action.
