The Lord of Ashes

The biggest advantage of cooperation between Thane and the Monster Race is that they can complement each other.

The demon clan has the largest population base of the fairyland civilization.

And compared to human monks, demon creatures are more fierce and fearless of death in war.

Of course, being "unafraid of death" is also a sign of cannon fodder in a sense.

In the foreign wars in the history of the Immortal Realm, the demon clan has always been the unlucky guy who suffered the most and suffered the most damage, but in the end the war benefits were far lower than those of the Buddhist and Taoist monks.

Having only a handful of strength and full of fighting passion, but no other specialties, is the common impression given by monster creatures.

Alchemy, weapon refining, formations, etc., which are the brilliant achievements of the civilization of the Immortal Realm, were all tinkered with by human monks.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the demon clan relied on a handful of strength and its own muscles and bones.

Today, hundreds of thousands of years later, the demon clan still relies on these.

With this result, it is no wonder that the demon creatures have always been at the middle and bottom of the food chain of the fairyland civilization.

Taking the battlefield in front of us as an example, Buddhist and Taoist monks have a large number of war equipment and special formations to provide support on the battlefield.

But what are the monster creatures?

Indeed, in the thick black plane, there are a small number of war equipment provided by the monks of the Chan and Jie religions.

But look at the entire southern battlefield, as well as the wider war zone that the demon clan needs to guard next.

This small amount of war equipment is not even enough to fill the gaps between fingernails!

One of Thain's biggest roles in stationing on the southern battlefield this time is to help the monster creatures rebuild a stronger and more reliable steel front.

The mechanical legion under Thain's command is his greatest support for providing help to the demon clan in the fairyland!

…

The old father-in-law Baxia kept his word. After Thain expressed his intention to stay on the southern battlefield, Baxia temporarily stayed on the spot.

Based on the positional relationship between the Demon Court Star Territory and the core area of ​​the Immortal Territory itself, the following areas where the major forces of the Immortal Territory Civilization are mainly stationed are the eastern and southern fronts of the Demon Court Star Territory.

The war zone covered by these fronts currently only accounts for a quarter of the Demon Court Star Territory.

As for the other three-quarters, as well as the wider areas to the west and north, they have been occupied and annexed by the Demonic Tide Civilization.

Nowadays, the battle is the most intense, and it is also a war zone where Demon Ancestors and many eighth-level creatures are wreaking havoc, mainly at the intersection of the eastern battlefield and the southern battlefield.

The previous peak showdown between the Saint Lao Tzu and the Dark Demon Ancestor took place on that central battlefield.

While Baxia was guarding the southern front centered on the thick black plane for Thane, Thain was doing his best to restore his own condition.

Including the Icarus and Thor Fortress robots under his command, during this period, they also entered the inside of the Rubik's Cube and made some adjustments and repairs.

While Thain was resting, the demonic tide army on the southern battlefield did not stop expanding.

The battle between the middle and lower-level creatures almost never stops.

On the other hand, there were not many dominant-level creatures showing up during this period of time.

Only two demon tide masters appeared before and after them, but they were blocked by Ba Xia.

It seems that the masters of the demon tide on this front have also suffered a lot from the previous confrontation.

Like Thain, they are rapidly recovering themselves.

Considering that the next southern battlefield will inevitably become more intense due to the shrinkage of the fairyland civilization's front line.

By then, a fierce battle will break out.

In addition to the demonic tide masters that Thain has already come into contact with, there may be new powerful enemies appearing!

…

Thain's rest lasted only two years.

As the pressure of war from the front increased, Thane had to come out of the laboratory's retreat.

Icarus and the Thor Fortress robot are still in Thane's Rubik's Cube, intensifying repairs.

With the Rubik's Cube here, if the situation on the frontline battlefield is so critical that Icarus and others must take action, Thain can release them as soon as possible, which is more convenient.

During the two years that Thain was in seclusion, the mechanical legion under his command did not rest, but worked non-stop to assist the fairyland demon clan in building a steel front.

No sleep, no food or drink, just a few energy crystals to replenish energy.

These mechanical creatures showed their demon friends from the Fairyland Civilization what it means to be a true "model worker".

One of the purposes of Thain coming out of seclusion this time was to inspect the results of the steel front built by his mechanical army in the past two years.

"Master Thain, your mechanical army has really helped us a lot in the past two years!"

"It is precisely because of the existence of these steel fronts that the casualties of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom legions under my command have been reduced by at least 20%!" Walking on the southern battlefield in a low-level outer front called the White Feather World, the Ten Thousand Demon Queen fought against the enemy En said.

Outside this low-level plane, there are three layers of airtight steel barriers.

The densely packed metal towers standing like mountain peaks gave the demon army on this front great firepower support and battlefield radar control.

This front can be regarded as the forefront of the southern battlefield in the Demon Court Star Territory.

In the past two years, of the three steel fronts deployed here, the demonic tide army was the deepest, even breaking through the second layer of fronts and almost reaching the interior of Baiyu World.

The fall of a mere white feather world is nothing to the current fairyland civilization.

But what the senior leaders of the Immortal Domain Monster Clan in charge of this war zone could not tolerate was that the front they were responsible for was pushed down by the demonic tide army too quickly.

The various forces in the Immortal Realm are now united on the surface, but secretly they are still competing with each other.

The demon clan has always been squeezed out by Buddhism and Taoism.

If it weren't for the fierce conflict between Buddhism and Taoism in the Immortal Realm in the past two hundred thousand years, the demon clan might not have been able to rise again.

This great catastrophe in the Immortal Realm is a key opportunity for the demon clan to re-establish its three-legged relationship with Buddhism and Taoism.

Although the number of demon clan masters has increased, the bottom population base has always occupied a dominant position.

But the criticism of the lack of elites has always made everyone in the demon clan want to fight a beautiful turnaround.

Faced with the compliment from the Queen of Demons in front of him, Thane did not show much emotion. He just nodded and said: "The current steel fronts have not been fully constructed yet."

"After all three fronts are constructed, the anti-attack capability here can be further improved."

"It is also good to rely on the front to reduce the losses of our own middle and lower-level legions." Thain said to the Queen of Demons.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons nodded hurriedly in agreement.

If you look closely at the current steel fronts, you will find that they are very similar to the planetary defense fronts built by the Gallente Federation.

This is normal, because most of the mechanical defense barriers stored in the Thane Cube come from the Gallente Federation.

On the periphery of the White Feather World below, there are a total of two million mechanical legions under Thain, and a total number of demon creatures close to three million.

Moreover, the demon army is still transporting towards Baiyu World in a steady stream.

According to the details that the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons told Thain before, in just a corner of the low-level plane of Baiyu World, the total number of demon legions gathered in the end will not be less than five million.

An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood.

The demon tribe is indeed using their lives to hold back the demonic civilization!

At this moment, the two million mechanical legions under Thane are still working non-stop to reinforce the steel front defense outside Baiyu's world.

After several years of getting along, these mechanical creatures gradually became familiar with the monster creatures outside Baiyu's world.

The monster creatures were secretly stunned. These metal cubes worked tirelessly to build steel battle lines and fortresses that were like "arts of art" in their eyes.

And the intelligent robots, which account for about a quarter of the two million mechanical legions, are also curiously observing the various monster creatures.

Both parties are getting to know each other, and the relationship has become a little closer.

For example, Thain, who restrained his aura and did not let the mechanical legions and demon creatures below notice, saw a detailed picture that made him sigh.

That was the corner of a steel front.

A golden elixir stage rabbit demon leaning on a corner of the hard, cold metal wall waved to a large transport robot walking in front of him.

A crystal core glowing with purple light appeared in the hands of the rabbit demon. He seemed to want to give this crystal core to the transport robot.

The robot that was traveling slowly stopped on its tracks.

It stretched out its right hand like a steel shovel and waved it, rejecting the rabbit demon's kindness. Instead, it pulled out half of the body of the demon tide creature with most of its blood dried up from the cart behind it, and placed it in front of the rabbit demon. .

Fairyland monster creatures can generally complete the transformation of life levels by devouring the flesh and blood essence of their opponents.

There is nothing that can be done about it, most monsters cannot make elixirs.

Only by continuously evolving and strengthening their stomachs so that they can absorb as much nutrients as possible from their prey can they achieve a leap.

The corpse of this demon tide creature is probably from a second-level demon commander.

So much so that when the rabbit demon saw it, his already red eyes turned even darker red.

He kicked off his legs and rushed directly towards the "gift" given to him by the transport robot.

This rabbit demon didn't get it for nothing, when he lowered his head and started to eat the meal in front of him.

The purple crystal core has taken a parabolic trajectory and fallen into the wide steel shovel of the transport robot.

The white eyes on the transport robot's head lit up slightly.

It headed towards the rabbit demon, paused for a few seconds, then turned around, continued to push the steel plate building materials in front of it, and slowly left this place.

The past development of the Demon Court Star Territory was not perfect.

Many of the raw materials used to build the Iron Front were obtained locally by Thane's mechanical legion.

Whether it is those planes with complete rules, meteorite belts, or around broken planets, there are a large number of raw metal ores available for mining.

Including the needs put forward by Thane, Fairyland will try its best to satisfy him.

"That's great." Thain couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene where the rabbit demon and the transport robot had just interacted.

At the same time, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, who was standing next to Thain, also saw the scene just now.

At this time, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons was also in a good mood. She couldn't help but echoed: "Yes, the mechanical legion under your command, Master Thain, seems to get along very well with us demon creatures."

The intelligent robots under Thane are not interested in the flesh, blood, essence and blood that the demon clan needs.

The solid fronts and war fortresses built by the intelligent robots are the much-needed help for the monster creatures that used to be able to resist harm with only their flesh and blood and scales and fur.

These are indeed two races that can complement each other.

Under the pressure brought by the demon tide crisis, the close cooperative relationship between them will become more appropriate.

The current defensive front outside Baiyu's world is only an insignificant corner of the entire southern front.

The total number of intelligent robots that Thain brought to the Fairyland battlefield this time was in the hundreds of millions, and the total scale of all the mechanical legions added up was in the billions.

Even in addition to this front centered on the thick black plane, the place further away, which Thain does not have to be responsible for, is also the southern battlefield where the demon saints are stationed.

Over there, Thain also sent many mechanical legions to help them build a defensive front.

After leaving the White Feather World, he inspected several plane fronts. Thain couldn't help but point to a star war zone in the southwest and asked: "Which demon saint is in charge there?"

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons must be more familiar with the situation on the southern battlefield than Thane.

She just glanced briefly and replied to Thain: "That's the war zone in charge of the great sage of the demon race, King Yu Tao."

Thain is not familiar with the demon exorcist saint at all.

However, what the Queen of Demons added next piqued Thain's interest.

"The Great Sage of Expelling Gods has always been closely connected with the ancient witch clan. The ability it possesses to drive away gods and conquer ghosts has made many people suspect that it is the secret method of the witch clan."

"There are even rumors in the Immortal Realm that the Great Sage of Exorcism is actually a hybrid of the two races of lich and witch." The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons said.

Maybe women are more gossipy?

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons told Thain a lot of things.

Of course, these so-called "Xin Mi" are themselves well-known situations in the high-level circles of Immortal Realm.

King Yu Tao has never concealed his close connection with the Wu clan.

His identity as a hybrid of two races, Lich and Lich, is indeed a bit eye-catching.

You know, the Lich Tribulation broke out in the Immortal Realm back then, and the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan were incompatible races.

Now, with the passage of time, and as the two tribes have gradually weakened for a period of time, it seems that the previous conflicts have gradually faded away.

The blood feud once was nothing in the face of time and interests.

Thain, who has already been to the Land of the Netherworld, has seen many "cow-headed and horse-faced" people attached to the Witch Clan in the underworld of reincarnation.

Those bull demons and horse demons are also pure members of the demon clan.

Not long ago, Thain had just made a deal with the prehistoric witch clan.

It's a big order for chaos stones and chaos materials.

Coupled with the friendly relationship established with Zhong Kui during the Wizarding Civilization War.

Now that he has begun to deal with the demon clan in the fairyland, Thain can't help but have a great interest in King Yu Tao, the great sage of the demon clan's exorcism.

"Does he have the power to exorcise gods and ghosts? This great exorcist is somewhat similar to the necromancers in our wizarding world." Thain touched his chin and sighed.

"Since the Great Sage of Expelling Gods is on the flank of the thick black world front where we are, we should help each other out of emotion and reason." Thain mused.

After saying that, Thain communicated with Skynet and ordered: "No. 7, you take No. 9 and No. 13 and lead a group of 20 million mechanical legions to the war zone where King Yu Tao is located to help them build a front. "

"Yes, Master!" The voice of intelligent robot No. 7 came from the void of the star realm in front of Thane.

With Thain's current Skynet capabilities, it is enough to cover most of the Demon Court Starfield battlefield.

Although during the Battle of Domination, Thane's control of Skynet will be affected to some extent.

But it is also enough to support smart robots to communicate with each other and conduct real-time communication on the battlefield.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons looked at Thain in amazement, and remotely mobilized her intelligent robot army through Skynet.

Unlike Thane, who can easily deploy his mechanical legions through Skynet.

For a saint like the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, sometimes she has to go through those immortal-level demons or the Demon King's order to mobilize her demon army.

There are quite a few monster clan hills.

Some great demons in the Nascent Soul stage dare to go it alone.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons indeed has supreme authority in the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.

But she couldn't effectively dispatch every intelligent robot under her command like Thain.

Therefore, when looking at Thain pointing out the country and scolding Fang Qiu, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons couldn't help but feel a touch of envy.

In addition to King Yuxi of the Monster Clan, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons introduced that there are two great sages of the Monster Clan who are relatively close to them in the war zone, the Great Sage Qitian and the Great Sage Fuhai.

"The Monkey King is not far from us, but the battle zone where he is located is closer to the central battlefield, and the Monkey King is separated from us."

"Since the battle zones of Demonic Great Sage and Qitian Great Sage are adjacent to each other... I believe that these two great sages can defend the battle zone where they are located." The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons said to Thain.

Currently, among the demon clan in the Immortal Realm, the most respected and admired one is none other than the Empress Nuwa.

But under Empress Nuwa, the new generation of saints who are most sought after and worshiped by hundreds of millions of monsters are none other than the Great Sage Qitian and the Great Sage Motian.

Compared with them, the more senior Pingtian Great Sacred Bull Demon King and Demon Emperor Lu Ya had to gradually step aside.

In addition to his unparalleled strength, and his righteous and heroic temperament.

These two great sages of the demon race seem to have fought side by side no matter what large-scale wars they participated in in recent years.

The Monkey King is unparalleled in bravery, and the Monkey King is even more cunning.

When the two cooperate, the power they unleash is more than just 1+1=2!

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons also has a great liking for these two.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons is also very happy to be able to cooperate with the great saints of the demon clan in the war.

In comparison, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons had little trouble dealing with demon masters such as Demon Emperor Lu Ya, Heavenly Demon Emperor, and the Three Demon Kings of Shituoling.

Fortunately, in this Demon Court Star Territory War, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons did not have much dealings with these people.

Otherwise, something might happen that would make the Queen of All Demons unhappy.

"It is also an honor for me to cooperate with the demon saints."

"Especially the Monkey King and the Motian Monkey King, they have participated in the 26th Wizards Alliance Conference of our wizard civilization."

"If there is still time before the next round of the Demon Tide War breaks out, I really want to meet these two demon masters." Thain said with a smile.

"There should be opportunities. The recent pressure brought by the Demonic Tide Civilization on us is mainly concentrated on the middle and bottom battlefields."

"Those demon emperors have said that there are no signs of large-scale attacks recently." The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons said.

Thain nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

…

After inspecting the frontline war zone, Thain returned to the thick black world and happened to meet his father-in-law, Baxia, who was about to leave here.

The next front that Ba Xia will be responsible for guarding is in the Dragon Clan war zone.

That was the eastern part of the Demon Court Star Territory. Unless the subsequent Battle of Overlord was extremely chaotic, it would be difficult for Thane to see his father-in-law again.

Although Ba Xia left, his two daughters, Bai Xing and Bi Xi, stayed here.

Ba Xia seems to be very relieved about Thain. He believes that Thain can protect his daughter.

That's it for Bixi, she and Thain are already married.

Why did Bai Xing also stay?

Regarding this doubt, Thain later found out that Bai Xing took the initiative to stay.

In her words, she wanted to protect her sister Bixi.

Bai Xing's strength is pretty good among level six creatures.

But here is a more magnificent battlefield of top civilizations. Even dominant creatures like Thane will suffer heavy consequences at every turn, and may even face the risk of falling.

With the power of White Star, staying here instead of going to the place where the dragon masters gather... is really...

Regarding his sister-in-law, Thane couldn't say anything directly. He could only try his best to arrange Bai Xing, Tour Xi and others in a relatively safe battlefield.

It is worth mentioning that Bai Xing's personal strength is indeed nothing compared to the master.

But among the sea beasts under her command, there was one, the ancient sea god who had just been conquered from the battlefield of Faerûn.

This is a bastard who has reached the level of a desperate person.

The Ancient Poseidon's attack power may not be high, but its defense power is to the extreme.

At the level of a peak despairer, he should be able to withstand a level seven master for a long time.

Therefore, Thain finally nodded and accepted Bai Xing's joining.

"Today is the last day of this month. Brothers, there are still free monthly tickets. Please vote for Xiaodou. If you don't vote, it will expire~

Please support, thank you very much! "
