Devil's Son-in-Law

Chapter 1210: Imminent War

Compared with the turmoil in the Demon Realm, the appearance of ‘door’ caused chaos in the human world. The significant weakening of the light element alone caused panic among countless people.

At this time, the Holy Light Mountain issued an order to all empires and kingdoms to stop all civil wars immediately, form a coalition army as soon as possible, and prepare to fight the army of demons. If there was any disobedience, the Holy Light Mountain would launch supreme sanctions to annihilate the whole empire.

The Holy Light Mountain was just a religious institute previously. It would not interfere too much in the internal affairs and disputes of various empires. This kind of order was extremely rare, but it was not the first time.

More than 300 years ago, more than 800 years ago… Such orders were issued. There were some empires that had defied it in history, but, almost instantly, those countries had become a part of history.

Demons, in the relatively short-lived human’s understanding, had countless legends. In almost every legend, there were common keywords such as cruelty, viciousness, and bloodthirsty. People had the same feelings about this terrifying existence that came every 500 years: Fear, hatred, revenge…

The 2 Holy Empires complied with the Holy Light Mountain’s order first. Lex the Great was the fastest.

Each time, the location where the light beam appeared changed, but this time, it was actually within the Golden Brilliance Estate of the Dragon Bright Empire. The journey from the light beam to the Dragon Bright Capital Yerodisha only took 2 day2.

Once the army of demons invaded, not only the richest Golden Estate, but also Yerodisha might become a piece of scorched earth, so there was no room for negligence. Lex the Great immediately called mobilized the elites of the whole country to the Golden Estate, and he built a large number of fortifications to prepare for the upcoming war.

Empress Landbis of the Blue Glory Empire organized a well-equipped army in a short period of time, commanded by the first general Sandro. They were sent to the Dragon Bright Empire to help in the battle. The 2 empires responded so quickly that other empires also stopped their disputes in order to mobilize their army toward the Dragon Bright Empire.

The highest commander of the coalition army in the human world this time was naturally Lex the Great. Although the armies of various empires had their own commanders, they must obey Lex the Great’s dispatch and command when it came to the mobilization of the coalition army.

An exciting news came to the Human Coalition Army. The dragons, the elf tribe, and the hobbit tribe announced at the same time that they would send elite troops to join the battle as part of the human world to fight against the enemies of the Demon Realm together!

The elves were the strongest archers and magicians. If they were used properly, they would play a decisive role in the battlefield.

The dragons and the hobbits also dispatched their own armies. Needless to say, the dragons were powerful. Even the hobbits had extraordinary combat power that surpassed ordinary human soldiers.

The addition of reinforcements from the 3 major races made the combat power of the coalition army even stronger, making it a bit more certain to defeat the Demon Realm. For a while, the morale of the entire human world seemed high.

Silver Moon Celestial Capital.

“Your Majesty! Why did you send 2 princesses to the battlefield?” The person who asked the question was Elder Patricy of the elf tribe, the confidant of empress, and the magic teacher of Princess Michelle, “Especially Her Highness Michelle…”

It turned out that the commander of the elf tribe this time was actually Princess Royal Philly, and even little Princess Michelle became a member of the army.

Empress Liv shook her head and sighed, “There is a saying that the finest gem must be cut. Whether it’s Philly or Michelle, they will grow up sooner or later. Don’t worry, Elder Kilanya and Elder Finoia are secretly protecting them. Nothing will happen to them.”

Another confidant elder, Cheropan, also said, “Pardon me, in my opinion, Your Majesty’s decision was thoughtless. The elf tribe rarely participates in the war between the 2 worlds. No matter whether they win or lose, there will inevitably be casualties in the war. The birth rate of the tribe is already low, and the population is limited. If it encounters downsizing, it will be an irreparable loss. This time, we even send almost all the elites. I want to know the specific reason.”

“Yeah, now it’s just the beginning stage of war, and the outcome of the 2 sides is unclear. According to the past situation, our best attitude is to wait and see.”

“Both of you don’t need to say more, this was Sir Alucier’s order before he left.” Empress Liv’s words made the 2 confidant elders silent, “The last order.”

After a while, Cheropan asked, “Sir Alucier already knew that the ‘door’ would open?”

Empress Liv didn’t answer as she just looked into the distance quietly. In fact, Alucier said more than that, but Empress Liv didn’t say the rest.

The Demon Realm was also preparing for the battle intensely. Although the 3 major empresses knew the truth about the war of the 2 worlds, they also knew that this war was inevitable.

This was a catastrophe. Enough lives must die to end the catastrophe.

The ones being sacrificed were not the lives of demons, but the lives on the human world. No one was willing to sacrifice their own race, so this battle must be fought and could not be lost!

Initially, the commander of the Demon Realm was Catherine, but Catherine, including Shea and Tiffany, were already super-level powerhouses. According to the contract restrictions, super-level powerhouses were not allowed to participate in war. Even if the 3 major empresses did not sign that contract, as long as they appeared on the battlefield, they would also be besieged by the super powerhouses of the 2 worlds.

Even with Chen Rui present, he could suppress the 3 archangels and Satan, but this would lead to a higher level of war. Most importantly, the war of 2 worlds with a sacrificial nature was still unavoidable. It could be said that the gains outweighed the losses.

The door of the Demon Realm was in the Bloody Empire, but the 3 generals of the Bloody Empire were all re-promoted after Tiffany ascended the throne. Although their abilities were impressive, they were not capable enough to become the commander of the entire Demon Coalition Army.

At this time, Catherine, citing illness as an excuse, recommended a candidate, Gerant, the second general of the Fallen Angel Empire.

Gerant’s military talent was quite outstanding. Even George, the first general of the Fallen Angel Empire, was full of praise for him. Catherine also showed convincingly fairness and frankness as she recommended the general of the Fallen Angel Empire instead of her own Dark Shadow Empire.

No doubt, after several ‘friendly’ military exercises with several generals from various empires, Gerant’s ability had been recognized by all parties. He became the commander of the Demon Coalition Army as expected. Meanwhile, the upper echelons of the 3 empires also knew that in addition to Gerant, the commander on the public side, top sage Catherine would also be planning behind the scenes, becoming a veritable ‘double failsafe’.

10 days had passed, and the ‘door’ had been formally formed. The repulsive force had disappeared, so ordinary people could approach without hindrance.

The halls and stairs in the light beam disappeared and turned into pure doors, that was to say, as long as one entered the light beam, one could directly enter another world.

A door that separated life and death.

The coalition armies of the 2 worlds were still constantly gathering and mobilizing troops, making all kinds of preparations.

The war had not yet started, but the atmosphere had become more tense.

The streets of the Dark Moon City.

Chen Rui strolled, in stark contrast to the turbulent footsteps of the people around him. After the ‘door’ opened, the pace of life in every city involuntarily accelerated.

“Hurry up, I heard that Tana Supermarket is about to run out of stock!”

“Yesterday, 50 Fallen Angel Empire gold coupons can buy a bag of flour, and today it has risen to 70!”

“Why are you still using the Fallen Angel Empire gold coupons for? Just use crystal coins directly!”

“I know, but the bank has a daily maximum limit. Each person can only withdraw a certain amount at a time. Didn’t you see that long queue at the door of the bank? I can’t even squeeze in!”

“Stop talking, let’s be hurried!”

“…”

Even in the Demon Realm, not everyone liked war. For the majority of people who were enjoying the rare peace and were becoming more and more peace-loving, the opening of the ‘door’ was nothing more than a hanging sword of Damocles, which might fall down at any time and destroy life.

People had been buying all kinds of materials. The prices of food, clothing, daily necessities, magic supplies, weapons and other living things had doubled several times in an instant. Banknotes and bonds had begun to depreciate, and the bank’s crystal coin reserves were constantly running out. This was still under the continuous suppression and regulation of the alliance. If left unchecked, this kind of economic effect alone could cause chaos.

This was just the beginning before the war began.

Chen Rui’s footsteps stopped as he heard the conversation between a mother and daughter by the side of the road.

“Xilu, you’re a girl. Don’t fight with others. Look at your forehead, it’s bleeding.”

“They said that my brother would die in battle…”

“No, your brother will definitely come back, and he will become a military officer or even a general.”

“I just want to see my brother come back alive, mommy. Why do we have to fight? Isn’t our life great? Why do we want to occupy the human world?”

“I don’t know, humans and us have been mortal enemies for many years. Even if we don’t take the initiative to attack, they will come to invade our homeland. Your brother is the most heroic. He protects our world.”

“En, we will definitely win! Brother will definitely come back!”

“…”

Why fight?

Isn’t our life great?

Brother protects our homeland.

These words weighed heavily in Chen Rui’s mind. Defending the homeland, resisting aggression, and occupying the sunny world… These are just whitewashed lies.

What is the truth?

As Chen Rui closed his eyes, everything around him seemed to be on fire. Buildings turned into ruins, words turned into wailing, corpses were strewn all over the ground, tranquility was torched by blood and fire, and countless living creatures turned into cold numbers, annihilated under the scythe of the Death.

What has life become?

Chen Rui slowly opened his eyes with tears streaming down his face.

Tears of compassion, not weakness.

Only those who respected life could truly enjoy life, comprehend life, and cherish life.

The unique life, perhaps, was the existence that truly transcended everything.

Chen Rui looked at the open hand and slowly clenched it as if holding hope.

His footsteps continued to move forward.
