Chapter 902: The Great Battle Begins! Spatial Channels Constructed!
As the saying goes, the hardest part is the beginning.
Now, they were just one step away from a successful start.
Every member of the Demon Slaying Legion was extremely excited and overjoyed.
Of course…
Amidst the excitement, everyone once again gained a clear understanding of Ling Zhan's terrifying power!
Initially, they thought that for Ling Zhan to conquer these five critical fortresses, he'd need a very meticulous and cautious plan.
And he'd have to attack them one at a time.
That approach would've taken at least a month.
And that was assuming each siege went smoothly.
There were nearly five thousand camps and towers surrounding the five fortresses.
Trying to conquer each one in secret truly would've required time and effort.
However…
What no one expected was…
Under Ling Zhan's leadership, it only took two days to completely take down the five fortresses along with all the camps and towers!
That outcome stunned everyone!
If the media found out, their eyes would probably pop out!
Although no one online dared oppose Ling Zhan's leadership anymore—
There were still many who didn't believe in him.
They thought there was no way he could succeed.
But due to the exposure of Demon Arrival Organization spies, the entire community had fallen silent.
Those media outlets probably didn't even realize the Demon Slaying Legion was already at the gates of Lemoris Fortress.
Looking at the countless demon soldiers, now puppets under their control, exuding awe-inspiring might, the Demon Slaying Legion was stunned.
Now…
Who dared say they lacked numbers?
Billions of corpse and soul puppets—this was no joke!
And these puppets retained part of their power from life.
The soul puppets, in particular, inherited some of Ling Zhan's stats, making them even stronger than before.
Furthermore…
Their priests could even cast buffs on the puppets!
Even with the large numbers, they just needed to use area-effect buffs.
In an instant…
Every member of the Demon Slaying Legion, including David and Archi, felt immense gratitude!
Grateful they had chosen to follow this non-specialist into the battlefield!
If they had let fear stop them, they would've missed a monumental opportunity.
A chance for massive merit—now firmly in their hands.
If they could breach Lemoris Fortress, their contributions would be fully realized!
That night, no one could sleep from the excitement.
But as fourth-tier Professionals, their physical and mental attributes were strong enough to resist fatigue and exhaustion.
Not to mention, they had mental stimulation potions available.
Though once inside the Ten Thousand Demons battlefield, there was no more day or night.
The deeper into Lemoris Fortress's territory they went, the more severe the darkness erosion.
Fortresses, towers, and camps were constantly lit just to maintain visibility.
The night passed.
Everyone remained in a state of high excitement.
The next day—
Only through precise magical time tools did they know it was 6 AM.
Here, it was impossible to distinguish night from day.
Then they were shocked once again by the scene before them.
In the central open space of Amos Fortress—
Brilliant blue magical spatial transmission channels had been established.
And these were constructed at the highest-tier level of the lower world!
Each one could transport one hundred million troops at once!
That meant puppet troops stationed at other camps, towers, and fortresses could now arrive here through the portals!
More importantly…
There were four leading channels!
Each connected to the north, south, east, and west of Lemoris Fortress!
With no surveillance eyes and Ling Zhan's side not claiming the territories, the Lemoris Fortress still hadn't realized its camps, towers, and fortresses had been secretly eliminated!
Red Phoenix Demon Venerable was overly confident in his defensive system.
But that wasn't entirely unreasonable.
He had once used that very system to block the allied Kingdom armies.
Those past victories gave him great faith in its reliability.
He firmly believed no one could bypass or ignore his defenses.
So now, he remained relaxed in his fortress.
Besides…
Even if something did happen—
As the fortress lord, he had three chances to expel invading enemies.
Combined with his army, he believed he could withstand anything.
Furthermore…
If needed, he could call for reinforcements.
In under half a day, troops from the other 29 fortresses could arrive.
They would crush the Kingdom coalition.
With that in mind—
Red Phoenix Demon Venerable couldn't fathom how he could possibly lose!
...…
At that moment—
Ling Zhan had spent the entire night constructing all the spatial channels.
If it were just him alone, he could never have completed such a massive project in one night.
But thanks to his Shadow Clone Technique—
Each 'Ling Zhan' coordinated across every camp, tower, and fortress.
Thus, the portals were built with ease.
"Yun Man!"
At that moment—
The entire army assembled.
Below: billions of puppet soldiers.
Above: all Demon Slaying Legion members and the elite special operations squad's four top fighters stood at attention.
With a call from Ling Zhan—
Yun Man stepped forward with a serious expression, "Master, I'm here!"
"Take ten billion puppet troops and approach the south of Lemoris Fortress. Wait for my signal."
Ling Zhan calmly ordered.
"Yes!"
Yun Man nodded without hesitation.
"Meng Shuang."
"Chang Yue."
Ling Zhan then called out his other spirit beasts.
"Master, we're here!" Meng Shuang's adorable face was filled with seriousness.
"You two each lead ten billion puppet troops to the east and west of Lemoris Fortress."
"Got it!"
No one in the Demon Slaying Legion had any objections to Ling Zhan appointing his spirit beasts as commanders.
Because just yesterday, they had witnessed those three beast girls defeat fortress-guarding Demon Emperors with ease!
Only then did the Demon Slaying Legion members realize…
These beast girls were anything but ordinary!
Compared to normal divine beasts, they were many times stronger!
