However, very fortunately, the Augustus family discovered the anomaly in this city in ti, and with thunderous force, erased the city from the map, causing the devil’s plot to go bankrupt before it could even begin.
"Monsters with brains are much more difficult to deal with than those without."
Although he achieved remarkable results with the power of the Sun Governor, Noah did not take joy in it; on the contrary, he was quite worried.
The angels cleansed the land back then, but seeing the demonic disasters erupting all over the continent now, it’s clear they missed quite a bit.
At present, just on the surface, the known Abyss and Hell Legions are already quite terrifying, not to ntion how many more are hidden in the dark corners of the city.
Noah couldn’t do much, nor did he have the ambition to beco a savior. That wasn’t his responsibility; such a heavy duty naturally fell to the angel Ophelia, who had gone back to Heaven for reinforcents.
He didn’t mind this Great Angel taking on the savior role, although he didn’t believe she had the qualifications to beco one, she indeed had a sense of responsibility.
The Golden Dragon had low expectations for itself, simply aiming to preserve as much of the Augustus family and his own territory as possible amid the turmoil. If the situation beca too dire, maintaining the basic foundation would suffice.
"The devils have advanced!"
When Noah showcased the deterrent power of the Sun Governor and swiftly eliminated a hidden hand of the devils, the devils who had occupied the Capital and were continuously building fortresses to solidify their core, finally made a move.
Unlike the marauding style of demons, the devils, though uncertain for how long they had planned, when they did move, it was with thunderous force. On the first day, they broke seven cities, the second day twenty-six, the third day forty-two.
Having forged the Gate of Hell, the previously silent devil army, within three days, broke through seventy-five cities, plundering millions of citizens, and seizing countless resources and souls.
The entire nation was shocked, and the eastern countries trembled, because the speed of such plunder was incredibly fast and systematic.
The cities conquered by the devils failed to effectively resist; before the devil army even arrived, the strongest group of Transcendents had already been executed, and when the army arrived to take over the city, it happened so quickly that no one could react.
This was enough to indicate that there were many traitors hidden within the kingdom, possibly devils, or perhaps fallen hell followers, but whatever they were, it could be said that the human side had no secrets from the devils.
In such an already dire situation, the angel legion that had once swept through the eastern countries descended again, naturally led by the Main Angel, Ophelia, wielding the Fla Divine Sword!
The unsuspecting civilians and lower-to-middle nobles and Transcendents cheered for the arrival of the angel legion, believing that driving the devils back to Hell was only a matter of ti, but those who knew the inside story were not optimistic.
"Is this the first vanguard legion?"
Seeing the eight thousand angels before him, Noah asked expectantly.
Because although these angels seed nurous, in reality, over ninety-eight percent were low-ranking angels with two wings, and those with four wings were extrely rare; Noah counted less than two hundred.
"This is all of it!"
Ophelia, who had been away for a long ti, turned her head with so sha in the face of the Golden Dragon’s expectant gaze.
"All of it?"
Noah knew he was sowhat ungrateful, but the gap between expectation and reality was too great,
"Could it be that Heaven believes that with you holding the Divine Sword and commanding these angelic legions, you can destroy a Gate of Hell?"
"Several Great Lords from the Abyss have launched attacks on Heaven, even my father has no spare legions to give ; this is already all the reinforcents I could find."
Ophelia explained,
"And my father believes it’s your own affair, that even without Heaven’s support, you have the power to resolve the first invasion."
"Then we wait!"
Eight thousand angels descending might be a terrifying force in peaceful tis; whether to destroy a nation or support one would be easy,
but in the turbulent era when Abyss and Hell have established invasion portals, this number of angels, Noah felt, wouldn’t even suffice for the Evil Demon Lords, going up would just be a gift.
Thus, the only path left to destroy the Gate of Hell was to wait for those legends with a heart of goodness and justice to gather, accumulate enough combat power, and then fight decisively.
The Southern Continent was such a case; no single legend could solve such a disaster, even a Divine incarnation alone would fail.
Only by continuously gathering the forces of justice would there be a chance to resolve such a calamity.
Of course, not just justice, legends unwilling to abandon their forces wanting to reclaim their lands could also be rallied, for instance now, half the legends of the United Kingdom with their families were gathering to the Augustus family.
In the face of external forces impossible to resist, uniting for survival was the instinct of living beings.
"Three years, always falling, is there not a single bit of good news?"
Noah couldn’t help but sigh; in the three years since the Gate of Hell was established, the Augustus family’s territory maintained basic order and stability.
But beyond this land, half the kingdom had basically fallen, with a flood of refugees coming in like tides.
This land was no longer the sparsely populated borderland; in these turbulent tis, it had beco a sanctuary like an Ark.
As more and more refugees poured in, the sa problem faced Noah: how to et the basic needs of the refugees like food and shelter?
These problems, gritting teeth, could still hold on; the Augustus family had deep foundations, accumulated over many years, but the pressure on the border defense line kept increasing.
The devils initially bullied the weak, attacking the weakest first, biting into the soft targets, and once all the soft ones were gone, gradually increasing difficulty.
Now, although many nobles and Extraordinary Forces were struggling in various corners of the kingdom, the most conspicuous was undoubtedly the Augustus family, relying on geographic natural fortresses.
Noah himself forgot how many tis he had activated the Yang Fla Mirror, assisting Tidel and a group of utterly useless wasteful legends, repelling countless probing attacks by the devils.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
A familiar voice fell into Noah’s ears, like a heavenly lody.
"No one, just a poor little dragon exhausted from overwork!"
"Noah, I’ve found Casius, getting ready to co back. Is there any gift you want?"
"No, I don’t want any gifts, I just hope you can co back now."
Hearing the familiar voice, Noah was tearful, in these turbulent years, being an adolescent dragon carrying such a heavy burden really exhausted him,
"The ho is almost gone; if you don’t co back, I’m preparing to take Ul and seek Gwen."
"What? The ho is almost gone?"
The female voice on the other end seed greatly shocked.
"Hell has invaded; I’ve guarded with Tidel for three years."
"Oh, you did well, I’ll bring Casius back imdiately, let him handle it."
"Can foster father still do it now?"
Although he highly trusted his foster father’s combat power when he had the Titan Bloodline, after the bloodline was stripped, Noah found it hard to hold high hopes.
However, such doubts vanished without a trace when his foster father appeared before him, for those dazzling golden eyes were so familiar to Noah, a sign of Tidel’s full commitnt in battle.
"Tsk tsk, looks like you noticed too; back then we went through all the trouble to strip off a bloodline, only for him to awaken once more, all our past efforts were in vain."
