Chapter 1 Fleet

The Aerym elven fleet charged through the space bubble zone. These elves from another world had little regard for this world's native defenses. Although they were tense when they set out, highly vigilant because they were facing their first real "extraterrestrial operation," they quickly discovered that their ships hardly encountered any enemies worthy of being called "air force." Some griffin units and strange flying soldiers tried to block them from afar, but they were basically left behind by the fleet, which was not a threat at all.

Things could have been even simpler if the Aerym ships had spatial jump capabilities and didn't have to jump through the portals between space bubbles, forcing them to advance along fixed routes.

Of course, a more important reason why they were able to charge in so easily was that the locals didn't react at all. The sight of the fleet breaking into the atmosphere was unheard of to everyone in this world. They had no idea what those grandsons roaring across the sky were. By the time the Aerym ships, led by the Great Tortoise Rock Terrace, forcibly opened the portal and broke through the barrier, the locals realized that this was a group of controlled "enemies." By the time they woke up, the aliens had run off to who knows where... a large group of aliens who came to make a cameo appearance. No one could have reacted to that!

The garrison near the fourth Carduus portal uniformly craned their necks to look at the sky, at a loss. An aged commander muttered to his deputy, "What are those things?"

"I don't know. A magical communication just came from the Sen'jin plane, saying that those steel monsters also broke through above them... it seems like they're just passing by?"

Similar conversations were heard near many portals in many planes. The Aerym elven air force broke through countless barriers with sparks and lightning, without stopping, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded and bewildered sentries sighing at the sky.

On Hao Ren's side, the modification of the spaceship wreckage was nearing completion. A large number of gravity regulators were fixed at key points inside and outside the wreckage. The range of the anti-gravity field evenly covered the entire wreckage, and it was even more thorough than Hao Ren had instructed. Basically, at least three gravity regulators were installed in each effective range, so that even if a few were damaged, the wreckage wouldn't fall. After Hao Ren had the engineers leave, he tried to activate the anti-gravity system on the wreckage and found that the device could actually work perfectly. Yes, an anti-gravity space fortress modified with rivets, super glue, cast iron bolts, steel cables, and iron hoops could actually work…

Hao Ren and his group stood on the outer wall tower of the Devil King's City, looking at the huge wreckage not far away. The scale of the wreckage was several times larger than the Devil King's City, but in addition to being spectacular, it also had an undeniable sense of dilapidation. Vivian held a small bat in her hand, tossing it up and down unconsciously, muttering as she played, "Why do I feel like this thing looks even more broken than before?"

Hao Ren covered his face. Whenever he thought of those "engineering masterpieces" that didn't fit the style, he was a little unwilling to admit that this was the project he had contracted. But he was still pretending, "Illusion, it's all your illusion... most of the gravity regulators are inside, what can you see outside?"

Yizaks scratched his big bald head awkwardly beside him: "Actually, we also have more advanced joining techniques, but now time is too tight, and there's no time to specially manufacture a batch of connectors for those gravity regulators... we can only use whatever we have."

After all, he was the boss of the Devil King's City. At this time, the Devil King was still defending his own national industry.

"Forget it, it's fine as long as it works. As long as it doesn't come loose before we arrive," Hao Ren chuckled dryly, "The gravity regulators must not fall off. If a few of them are slightly misaligned, the direction of gravity will be chaotic. At that time, it will be a chain reaction, and half of the power may be lost."

"Speaking of which, is that how you play with your bats?" Lily's focus was always different from others. At this time, she had been staring at the bat flying up and down in Vivian's hand for a long time, barely suppressing the instinctive impulse to pounce on it and bite it, "You're making it dizzy…"

Vivian lowered her head to look at the little bat: "I'm bored, it's the same as you usually spinning around and biting your own tail - is that tail for biting?"

Lily immediately said solemnly: "If you don't bite your tail, what's the use of it!"

Everyone around: "..."

Lanina turned her head and tugged at her tail, possibly opening the door to a new world, but considering that this succubus had been out of character from the beginning, so be it.

After the gravity environment test in various parts of the spaceship wreckage was completed, its propulsion problem had to be solved, but installing an engine system was not a task that the engineers of the Devil King's City could handle. And to be honest, reinstalling an engine system for a space fortress hundreds of kilometers long was an impossible function in itself: the engine system is different from the gravity regulator, the latter can be disassembled and fixed in some corners, but the engine is a complete and complex system, it consumes a lot of energy, and requires additional energy lines, reactors, control centers, attitude nozzles and a lot of other things, the transformation project is huge, and even requires the removal of the entire rear half of the wreckage, so it was not considered from the beginning.

Hao Ren was waiting for the Aerym elven fleet to arrive: the fleet had more than a dozen engineering tugboats, which were used by the Aerym elves to drag those space islands that had lost power in the "Land of Death". They were powerful and extremely suitable for dealing with this behemoth hundreds of kilometers long, and the technicians on the ship were skilled.

They could drag such large space islands around, let alone a mere starship wreckage.

Not long after that, Hao Ren heard the voice of the data terminal in his mind: "Yo! Boss, we're almost there! Hurry up and come out!"

Hao Ren turned to look at Yizaks: "Tell your people to get ready, we're leaving immediately."

The news that they were about to set sail quickly spread throughout the Devil King's City. All combat personnel immediately entered their respective sentinel posts to prepare to defend the city. The huge magical barrier switched to combat mode, and the Devil King's City was shrouded in a layer of light green demonic energy shield. The civilians in the city had also been prepared for a long time. When the siren sounded, the streets quickly became empty. The old and the children who could not fight all returned to their homes and closed their doors and windows, preparing to embark on an unknown journey with the city.

Yizaks stood on the city wall, slowly transforming into a huge lava demon. He gripped the obsidian magic sword that had accompanied him in many battles and had finally returned to his hand today, and looked down at his feet.

His daughter was holding two climbing picks and climbing up her dear father's calf with a grunt. At this time, she was almost up to her thigh...

"Elizabeth, go wait in the palace," Yizaks picked up his daughter from his body with two fingers and put her in Lanina's arms. In the little guy's gesticulating protest, he became serious again, "Depart!"

The entire city shook violently, and then the surrounding space was distorted. When everything calmed down again, the dark red world of the second demonic plane appeared in front of everyone - and, as expected, there were the demonic legions and the coalition of the Holy See.

On the barren and broken red plains, the military formations of the coalition of the Holy See and the demonic legions could be seen everywhere. They occupied both sides of the plains, clearly demarcated. Obviously, after the accidental encounter a few days ago, they had not retreated far. These people were not fools. After the Devil King's City appeared in the second plane several times, they must have summarized some rules - even if they had not summarized any rules, they would definitely stay here for a year or two. After all, the Devil King's army was the shadow of this world. The sudden reappearance of such a terrible opponent, even if it disappeared in a blink of an eye, would cause shock in the world. It was only natural that the armies of all parties would be stationed for a long time in the area where the Devil King's City last disappeared: what if it appeared again?

As a result, they really got it right this time: the Devil King's City really appeared again!

The demons and the various races of the human world were originally incompatible, and Yizaks's centuries of efforts had not completely changed this situation, but it was unknown whether it was a kind of irony. Now, in order to wipe out the Devil King's army, these two forces had barely reached a peaceful coexistence on the broken plains. No one knew what kind of agreement Seraton and the heroes of the coalition had reached. It was estimated that it was still something like reducing internal friction and jointly fighting against the Devil King, so that the two groups jointly occupied the broken plains and waited until the moment when the Devil King's City reappeared.

The great war was about to begin.

(Ahahaha, I'm back to full health!!!)
