Although he had cleaned up all the meteors around the plane, Sushingu felt that the void beast swarms would not simply disappear.
This void was too vast and the void beasts were endless.
It was unrealistic to completely resolve the issue of void beast invasions at this stage unless he completely mastered this plane and became its lord.
Reconstructing the defense line and plugging all the gaps would be the only possibility.
But it didn't matter for now.
Eliminating these conspicuous creatures would likely prevent void beast invasions in the short term.
Even if they appeared again later, their scale would not be as large as before, and the permanent army of Eternal Knight City should be able to handle it without interfering with the upcoming great war of the Empire.
In this plane, at the junction of the Eastern and Northern continents, although the Northern Continental Alliance and the Eternal Knight Empire had signed a peace agreement, both sides still deployed over a 100,000 elite troops at the border, conducting military exercises year round to intimidate each other.
If one were to say which side was under more pressure, there was no doubt it was the warriors of the northern continent.
After all, looking at the opposing army's configuration, it would be a lie to say they were not anxious.
An elite force of over a 100,000 was nothing to scoff at.
They could muster that too, but with constant rotations, each unit was particularly capable, which was somewhat absurd.
Whether the Alliance could defeat the Empire was a separate matter.
These border warriors would undoubtedly be the first to suffer.
And even if they were not completely annihilated, they would sustain heavy losses.
In contrast, the warriors of the Eternal Knight Empire were different.
They did not resist war.
In fact, they were somewhat excited by it, as warmen achievements and the chance to please the gods.
The citizens living within the borders of the Eternal Knight Empire were educated from a young age about how the Empire had come to be.
Territory does not fall from the sky, and resources do not appear out of thin air.
Everything they have now was fought for by their predecessors.
The Empire's expansion has never ceased, neither in the past nor now, nor in the future.
Their predecessors laid a solid foundation for them, allowing them to be inherently superior to the citizens of other forces, so why should they be afraid? Now, it was their turn to contribute for the next generation, to claim more land and resources.
All warriors of the Eternal Knight Empire knew that once they embarked on this path of expansion, there was no turning back.
They could only continue forward, defeating all opponents.
Many would die along this path.
But so what? Death is just death without fear.
Just as they swore before the statue of the gods upon joining the army, we dedicate our bodies and all to the king.
May the empire endure.
May the gods forever remain.
The warriors of the Eternal Knight Empire were willing to sacrifice everything for the Empire and the gods, even their lives.
Under such education, the soldiers stationed at the border of the Eternal Knight Empire eagerly awaited the arrival of war at all times.
Because of this, the high-ranking officials of the Eternal Knight Empire had to rotate them to prevent these border troops from taking action before the Empire was prepared.
Both sides understood that the peace agreement was only temporary.
Sooner or later, one side would tear it apart first.
But when that day would come, no one knew.
If possible, the Northern Continental Alliance hoped that day would never arrive.
Years of trade and commerce had given them a rough understanding of their neighbor on the Eastern Continent.
After reviewing their history of rise, the high-ranking officials of the Northern Continental Alliance had only one evaluation of the Eternal Knight Empire, the Mad Empire.
The development history of the Eternal Knight Empire was heavily filled with wars.
Even during the most stable periods of development, when the military and soldiers were transforming, they never stopped their expansion.
They had no thoughts of stopping, only options to accelerate expansion or slow it down.
This did not conform to the situation of a normal nation.
Being neighbors with such a mad empire was enough to give the members of the Northern Continental Alliance headaches.
Just thinking about it, the Eternal Knight Empire did not spare them from their headaches either.
On a dark and stormy night, the Eternal Knight Empire tore apart the peace agreement.
And the troops stationed at the border launched an attack on the Northern Continental Alliance.
Chapter 170.
War city break unbeknownst to win within the border city of the Empire.
A large number of skeleton warriors had long been prepared.
As soon as the war commenced, dark magicians commanded hundreds of thousands of skeleton warriors to sweep through with their figures overwhelming the battlefield, all being at least mid-level extraordinary beings.
Among them, there were many skeleton leaders from the River of the Dead, possessing highle combat power and considerable intelligence, capable of providing simple commands to the skeleton warriors.
Of course, if it were just this, the warriors of the Hun Nations Alliance would not be too devastated.
They genuinely did not want to fight, but they had practiced countless times and were indeed prepared for war.
They had envisioned numerous scenarios of the Eternal Knight Empire's invasion and were ready for battle.
Although it was somewhat strange when the Eternal Knight Empire brought the skeleton army over, they had also prepared their means to counter it.
As is well known, light and darkness are mutually exclusive.
So, the Hundred Nations Alliance's preparation consisted of a large number of light-based items.
However, all of this was predicated on the fact that they were facing an ordinary skeleton army.
When the citys defending commander used a holy level light scroll, Blazing Sun, to illuminate the entire battlefield and saw the fully armored skeleton warriors, his heart sank.
Equipping skeleton warriors with full sets of armor and golden grade equipment at that was something he had never even heard of, let alone seen.
This was too extravagant.
Even though the Hund Nations Alliance was quite wealthy, it was impossible for them to be so lavish.
Providing ordinary soldiers with complete weapons and equipment was already their limit.
This was only due to the recent heavy pressure they had been under.
Otherwise, considering those noble lords tendencies, just handing out a sword would have been good enough.
armor.
They could figure that out on their own.
Fire.
With a command from the defending commander, dozens of light magic towers instantly activated and bright columns of holy light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire area.
The highle mages within a magic towers felt their momentum surge.
Waves of large-scale light element attacks covered the entire battlefield.
The dazzling beams swept across and the bodies of the skeleton warriors under the illumination of the light magic resisted for only a short time before rapidly disintegrating.
The flames of their souls extinguished, their bodies fell to the ground, turning back into ordinary bones.
In just one round of attacks, over 10,000 skeleton warriors fell.
Fire on the city walls.
Magic cannons lit up with golden light.
And in the next second, hundreds of beams of light energy were fired.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions rang out.
In the center of the skeleton army, small suns ignited, instantly purifying the surrounding skeleton warriors, turning them to ash.
Kill, fight for our master.
" The undead commander, riding a tall skeletal warhorse, swung a massive war spear and roared.
The flames of soul in his eye sockets flickering wildly.
The skeleton army roared, issuing horse cries as they stepped over the fallen bodies of their comrades and continued forward.
Meanwhile, behind the skeleton army, countless dark energy columns rose, and the celestial phenomena changed again.
Light vanished, darkness returned.
The skeleton warriors roared madly.
Dark runes lighting up on their bodies.
The magic cannons continued to fire, each shot of light energy hitting the skeleton army, causing significant casualties with every round.
The magic towers also constantly unleashed light element strikes.
However, even such fierce attacks could not halt the advance of the skeleton army.
As undead creatures, they felt no fear.
After suffering tens of thousands of casualties, the skeleton army arrived at the city gates.
Then the skeleton suicide squad charged forward directly rushing towards the city gate.
In the next second, boom boom boom.
Under the dual impact of energy bombs and the undead explosion, only a few hundred sixth level skeleton warriors and three seventh level super undead were sacrificed.
Yet the sturdy city gate was blown open, creating a large hole.
At the same time, countless giant flying skeletal beasts filled the sky, and one by one, skeleton warriors leaped down from their backs, landing directly on the city walls.
Engaging in combat with the defending soldiers on the walls.
Kill! A bloody battle broke out.
