Chapter 1637: A Vicious Plan Chapter 1637: A Vicious Plan Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Turning around and fleeing was akin to exposing their backs to Braydon Neal. Staying meant facing the onslaught of flying swords that mowed through them like grass. The demon beasts fell one after another, their blood pooling into a crimson river in the Meteor Sea.
Braydon’s eyes were cold and unrelenting. The corpses beneath his feet formed a mountain, while the demon army swelled to three million strong. In just fifteen minutes, a million demons had been slaughtered, accounting for thirty percent of their forces—300,000 demon beasts lay dead.
The heavy casualties instilled fear among the once-fearless demon army, throwing their formation into disarray. News of the bloody battle quickly spread back to the military camp across the expansive space battlefield.
Iason Foster, Lainey Garcia, Cabe Macall, and others gathered anxiously. Lainey frowned as she asked, “Can Braydon hold back the demon army in the Meteor Sea?” “If he fails, our retreat will be cut off, and we’ll be surrounded by demon beasts,” Cabe added gravely.
They all understood that the path behind the Meteor Sea was their sole escape route. Losing it would plunge their military camp into a dire situation, trapping every cultivator within.
“I believe in him,” Iason asserted, gazing into the distance with hands clasped behind his back.
“Let’s hope he can endure.” Lainey nodded solemnly. The atmosphere was tense; defeat in the core battlefield was imminent, and their resistance was faltering. If they fell completely, this space battlefield would become demon territory, and the war would spill uncontrollably into human lands.
As they deliberated, Iason received unexpected news that left him stunned.
“What’s happened?” Lainey asked urgently.
“No, it’s a tremendous victory!” Iason announced, his surprise evident.
Iason snapped back to attention and exclaimed incredulously, “Braydon just sent me a message.
The battle in the Meteor Sea is over.
They killed a three-tailed demon fox of the eternal realm, causing her small world to collapse and her eternal body to be destroyed!” “What?
The demons mobilized an eternal?” Cabe was shocked and furious.
It explained why the Meteor Sea fell.
The demons had mobilized an eternal! But why hadn’t any news reached their military camp? If they had known earlier, they would have mobilized and headed to the Meteor Sea.
Iason’s eyes widened in shock. “The mysterious Northern Army can take down eternals.
Braydon has already decimated 70% of the million-strong demon beast army that occupied the Meteor Sea.
The remaining 30% are heavily surrounded and unable to escape!” “Terrifying!” Lainey’s expression showed shock, and a hint of fear flickered in her eyes. Where did these elites come from? Their combat prowess was astonishing.
“How many casualties did Braydon suffer?” Cabe asked in disbelief.
“We both know how challenging it is to kill a demon beast of the same realm.
Their bodies are resilient, capable of withstanding much more power than humans of the same realm.
Each demon beast killed exacts a toll of five to nine cultivators of the same level!” “If it’s from the tiger tribe, leopard tribe, or dragon tribe… the demon race places great value on bloodlines.
Even a trace of extraordinary bloodline allows a demon beast to overpower others of the same realm.
To kill such a demon beast, it would cost the lives of twenty to seventy cultivators of equal level!” “Encountering a mutant requires swift action by a powerful expert!” Cabe explained the norms of the space battlefield.
“These demon beasts follow the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.
The weak perish early on, leaving only the strong to thrive.
Naturally, the demon beasts eliminated by such rules are stronger than humans.” “In a demon army, there are seldom rules in battle.
However, when they unite into a tide of beasts, their charging momentum inflicts heavy casualties on human forces every time,” Cabe continued.
“Even with 8 million soldiers, Braydon managed to slaughter 700,000 demons in such a short span.
Honestly, everyone here has some doubts in their minds!” In the corner, the black-robed young man, who usually avoided conversations, spoke up, “Tell him to wrap up the battle quickly.
The demons are behaving unusually!” “Snoh, what news did you bring?” Iason was visibly shaken.
The black-robed young man lifted his head solemnly.
“The demon camp has shifted.
They’re moving towards the Meteor Sea.
Braydon’s battle report must be accurate.
Otherwise, the demon race wouldn’t react so dramatically.
The demons must have assumed our main army was in the Meteor Sea to guard our retreat route!” Snoh Morse’s eyes gleamed coldly.
“If they’re trying to cut off our retreat, they won’t spare our camp.” Iason was furious and alarmed. He swiftly sent a message to Braydon, “Braydon, the demon army is heading your way.
Finish off the remaining demons quickly and prepare for an emergency defense!” Iason and the others couldn’t afford to have the Northern Army retreat. Losing the Meteor Sea was not an option, even if it meant sacrificing the last soldier of the Northern Army. If they lost the Meteor Sea, the entire camp’s escape route would be sealed off, with no hope of reinforcements from other galaxies.
The battlefield situation was dire. After sending the message, Iason rushed to the military pavilion to brief them on the urgency of supporting the Northern Army.
A demon camp was shifting its forces toward the Meteor Sea. If they didn’t act, it would mean abandoning the Northern Army and losing the camp’s only escape route.
Inside the Meteor Sea, the 80 legions of the Northern Army encircled the remaining demon beasts. The once-massive demonic army now numbered around 200,000, battered and trapped.
Each legion commander held their ground, rotating in shifts to repel the demon beasts. In such dire straits, leaving any enemy alive could spell disaster.
“Luther, your gamble paid off,” Braydon grinned upon receiving Iason’s message.
“The demons are coming to their aid?” Luther Carden stood beside his brother.
“A demon army camp is indeed moving in,” Braydon confirmed.
“The pressure we’ve been missing is back,” Luther’s smile hid a resolve to exact vengeance.
Moments ago, the Northern Army could have wiped out all demon beasts, but they left a portion alive strategically—to lure the demons into reinforcing them.
The Northern Army’s strategy was to encircle the enemy and strike their reinforcements.
Back in the northern desert, the eight northern countries watched helplessly as their armies were surrounded by the Northern Army. None dared to intervene, knowing that any rescue attempt would result in heavy casualties.
However, the demon beasts were unfamiliar with the Northern Army’s tactics.
“A demon camp,” Yuri Qualls said gravely.
“It’s certainly not weaker than the camp behind us.” “We must fight.
We have no other choice now that we’re here.
If this camp falls to the demons and they invade Earth, we’ll be defending our own homeland.
Regardless of the outcome, we cannot afford to lose,” Braydon declared resolutely.
Braydon understood well the sacrifices that fighting on home soil entailed. The fires of war threatened their homes, and the toll in lives could be immense. Yet, defending their country and families was a conviction ingrained for millennia—a belief steadfast through time.
“Primordial Chaos, are those preparations ready?” Braydon inquired once more.
“I should be able to complete them within an hour,” the primordial chaos banished immortal assured.
