The core of their command—the master-level warriors—had fared better. Only twenty-seven had fallen, but over three hundred bore wounds so severe, they teetered on the edge of life and death. Severed arms. Split torsos. Smashed skulls held together with bandages and magic.
The general's voice cracked as he whispered, "This... is a victory drowned in sorrow."
He turned to the legendary warriors standing behind him—beings wreathed in abyssal flame and scarred by a thousand wars. Some held severed heads. Others leaned on blades chipped from too much use.
> "Finish it," he commanded. "No quarter."
Below, survivors still clawed at each other—limping angels stabbing demons through broken ribs, dying soldiers trying to strangle enemies with one remaining hand. The air stank of burnt flesh, sulfur, and iron. The ground squelched with every step. Buzzards and carrion hounds circled like shadows of death.
This was no longer a war.
This was a massacre wearing the skin of valor.
And when it was done, the world would remember it not as a battle...
…but as a slaughter that shook the two abyss city.
"You guys are going to finish the battle quickly. Let's see if these 100,000 mid-level wingmen can be captured."
Now that the other party's senior leaders have abandoned these winged men, there is no need to let the legendary strong men on their side stand idly by.
Otherwise, if the killing below continues, at least tens of thousands of mid-level soldiers and hundreds of thousands of low-level cannon fodder will die on their side in Duolun City.
As for capturing the black-winged angels, the general saw that these winged men were good-looking, so it was a good choice to capture them as night elf bodyguards and servants.
Even if you don't use them as servants but sell them as slaves, it is still a huge fortune.
If there are 100,000 intermediate-level demons, then forget it—just incorporate them into the demon army without any consideration at all of making them the bodyguards and servants of the night elves.
As for selling? Due to the uncontrollable nature of chaos and the large number of creatures caught in the abyss, there is really no market for ordinary demon slaves.
For example, the selling price of a high-level night elf slave can buy four, five, or more high-level demons of ordinary varieties.
Night elves are only in the neutral evil camp. They can be trained and educated through various enslavement methods, and they can become loyal slave subordinates. They are also beautiful in appearance, have good combat power, and their added value is much higher than that of a few ugly high-level demons.

Duolun City, in the Lord's Hall
Night Lord Fatos receives the results at the end of the war.
However, although their side won, Fatos's face did not show any emotion such as happiness.
Still indifferent and calm.
"That Barro Flame Demon didn't take the opportunity to take action? Is he still waiting for the opportunity?" Fatos thought to himself.
After a while, Fatos no longer thought deeply about what Lord Explosive Flame wanted to do. It had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to protect his city of Duolun.
Rather than taking risks to seize the so-called Heart of the Abyss or other resources, it is better to practice slowly, wait for a major breakthrough in strength, and then crush everything with absolute power.
Legendary warriors already have a long lifespan—let alone the night elves, who are a long-lived species. Fatos could completely spend hundreds or thousands of years patiently.
"Come back."
Finally, Fatos issued an order to the general who was out commanding the army in Duolun City.

Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, two blood moons rose and set.
Exploding Flame City
I finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little tired but also a little excited, and said,
"Finally, all the 120 million residents of Explosive Flame City have been planted with void seeds."
After I planted void seeds in residents of high-level and higher ranks in Explosive Flame City, I used Any Door to summon a group of black-winged angels and asked them to assist me in 'farming.'
It took two full blood moons—or two months in Tal—to finally fill up the 120 million pits.
This time, I finally stopped hesitating.
I took out the Heart of the Abyss from Explosive Flame City, and with a thought, Explosive Flame City suddenly shook.
The huge city was like black mercury, all swallowed up by the Heart of the Dark Abyss no bigger than a thumb.
The residents in Explosive Flame City felt as if the city they were in had suddenly turned into an undulating sea, and they immediately panicked.
Those who could fly flew high into the sky one after another, and those who couldn't fly also tried their best to escape from Explosive Flame City.
During such a chaotic period, casualties were inevitable.
But their panic did not affect me.
There are 120 million residents. What does it matter if a few million die?
They are just used as eliminated products, also serving as food for the remaining residents who ingested the first void seeds, speeding up their infiltration by the power of the void.
The swallowing of the Heart of the Abyss lasted for half a day.
At this point, Explosive Flame City, which covered an area of nearly 800,000 square kilometers, disappeared into the abyssal lava wasteland.
My shadow flashed, entered Any Door, and returned to Black Wing City.
Suspended in the sky above Black Wing City, I summoned the Abyss Heart of Black Wing City and the Abyss Heart of Explosive Flame City at the same time.
Following my thoughts, the Heart of the Abyss from Explosive Flame City suddenly poured a large amount of special black gel energy into the Heart of the Abyss representing Black Wing City.
After receiving power from the Heart of the Abyss in Explosive Flame City, the Heart of the Abyss in Black Wing City transformed this power and transmitted it to Black Wing City below.
Black Wing City, which was originally a little over a hundred kilometers in diameter, suddenly began to expand rapidly.
Two hundred kilometers. Three hundred. Five hundred. Eight hundred.
Finally, the diameter of Black Wing City stopped at one thousand kilometers.
The city wall also grew from the initial 300 meters to a towering height of more than 3,000 meters.
Below, the residents of Black Wing City only felt a slight earthquake in the city, and then the earthquake quickly disappeared.
However, they soon discovered that the size of Black Wing City had expanded nearly a hundredfold.
They didn't understand. They were just confused and didn't know why Black Wing City suddenly expanded so drastically.
Those who did understand—for example, Princess Vivian, who was imprisoned in a palace—although she was restricted, she could still move around inside. Looking down from the towering palace, she could see the black sky more clearly. She was stunned at first by the sudden change, and then her expression changed drastically.
Such a drastic change—if Black Wing City hadn't grown by devouring hundreds of millions of corpses in a short period of time—there could be only one other possibility: the Lord of Black Wing City had once again obtained a Heart of the Abyss and had accumulated more energy, filling it to the brim.
"Could it be possible?" Vivian no longer dared to think further.
Here, Princess Vivian was anxious and worried about her father and people.
Over there, after I completed the expansion of Black Wing City and pushed it to the limit of a small city, the dragon shadow flashed and disappeared again.

In the Ghost Plane, above the giant city built by the five ghost clans:
My figure appeared here.
"Let's build the Gate of the Abyss here." I looked down at the huge city below where thousands of black-winged angels lived and made a decision.
Based on the power of the Abyss Lord, I summoned a hundred-meter-tall abyss gate with a thought.
At the same time, the slightly dim Heart of the Abyss from Explosive Flame City was also summoned by me.
The pitch-black crystal turned into a black light and fell into the tightly closed abyss gate below.
A buzzing sound.
After the Heart of the Abyss merged into the Gate of the Abyss, complex black secret lines appeared on the pitch-black gate. At the same time, the Gate of the Abyss slowly floated up from the ground and rose to a hundred meters in the air. A dark secret pattern extended from the Gate of the Abyss and then took root in the void like roots.
"Open the Gate of the Abyss!!" I roared, and the power of the Abyss Lord was instilled, linking the Gate of the Abyss with Black Wing City, located in the lava wasteland plane of the Abyss.
Suddenly, the Gate of the Abyss opened, and a dark nebula flowed inside.
Beautiful, mysterious, and evil.
"Master."
A purple light shot up into the sky from below and stopped next to me.
The purple light dissipated, revealing his figure. He was two meters tall and looked almost the same as a human. He had long purple hair, and a pair of beautiful purple wings stretched out behind him. The aura exuding from his body was quite powerful. He had reached the peak of the second level.
This is the Purple Ghost King.
In other words, this is the Purple Ghost King who has transformed into a Void Angel.
"The ghost plane has been ruled by me for more than a year. As high-quality food, the legendary ghost warriors have been deeply infiltrated by the power of the void and were naturally transformed into void creatures by me.
Because the five major ghost clans have different powers, as well as my own preferences and aesthetics, their transformed appearances are somewhat different.
The Purple Ghost clan is a purple-winged void angel named the Angel of the Soul, which possesses supernatural powers related to the soul and mind.
The Red Ghost clan has red wings and is called the Angel of Power, possessing powerful muscles and strength.
The Frost Ghost clan has frost-blue wings, named Frost Angel, and has the power of ice.
The Green Ghost clan has green wings, named Angels of Wood. They have the power to control vegetation and vines, and have extremely tenacious vitality.
The White Ghosts have white wings and are called Giant Angels. They have no special powers, only huge bodies. The height of the advanced White Ghost is seven to eight meters, the height of the master-level White Ghost can reach 20 meters, and the height of the legendary White Ghost is more than fifty meters. The word "giant" is not an exaggeration at all.
Moreover, the power of the void will continue to promote the growth of void creatures' size, which will only make the already terrifying White Ghost Giant Angel become even more terrifying as time goes by.
"Master, the army is ready and can set off at any time," the Purple Ghost King said respectfully.
I nodded slightly, casually glanced at the five-colored angels waiting in the giant city below, and issued an order:
"Then let's set off."
"Yes!" The Purple Ghost King did not hesitate, and his extremely powerful spiritual power enveloped the five-colored angels below. He did not need to speak but conveyed an extremely clear command with just one thought.
After receiving the order, the five-colored angels, who were always on standby, began to pour into the Gate of the Abyss in order.
First came five million Purple Soul Angels, two meters tall, with strangely mysterious and handsome appearances, and a pair of purple pupils flashing with psychedelic colors. Ordinary creatures would be enslaved and perish when they looked at them—or maybe have their minds shattered.
Then came the five million red-haired and red-winged Power Angels. They were about the same size as the Soul Angels, just over two meters tall, but their red muscles were like rubber, and they looked extremely tough and powerful.
Next were the Frost Angels with frost-blue hair and wings, and the Wood Angels with green hair and green wings, each numbering five million. The size of these two was similar to the first two, but they had different colors.
Finally, there were the most conspicuous Giant Angels. Unlike the first four groups, which had a terrifying number of five million each, the Giant Angels' appetites were too overwhelming. Only one hundred thousand Giant Angels had been deeply infiltrated by the power of the void so far. Therefore, I have only transformed one hundred thousand Giant Angels. Of course, they all started at high levels.
I saw one hundred thousand Giant Angels standing ten meters tall, including many master-level Giant Angels who were more than twenty meters tall. They flapped their huge wings and flew into the Gate of the Abyss.
The Gate to the Abyss, which was only 100 meters wide, suddenly looked much smaller compared to the size of the Giant Angels.
'There are 20,000,000 angels, including more than 10,000 master-level angels. I want to see how Duolun City wins this time,' I thought jokingly in my mind.
With the arrival of the five-colored void angels transformed from the 20,000,000 ghost tribe members, the previously somewhat depressed and empty Black Wing City became lively again.
There was no such thing as waiting for an opportunity. Ozzy once again led the Void Angel Army and marched toward Duolun City in a mighty manner.
It could be described as menacing.
Duolun City, after winning the Volcano War, did not relax its vigilance because they knew that Explosive Flame City was still eyeing them and would definitely choose between them and Black Wing City. According to the speculations of the night elves, Explosive Flame City had the highest probability of taking action against Black Wing City.
Therefore, during this period, Duolun City had actually focused most of its attention on Black Wing City.
So, as the 20 million void angels led by Ozzy headed toward Duolun City, the night elves noticed immediately.
Confused.
What's the situation?
Only two blood moons have passed since the last war. How did they get an army of 20 million winged men?
And according to information reported by the spies, the elite strength of the 20 million winged beings was probably not inferior to the previous ones—maybe even stronger!

Duolun City, Main Hall.
The Night Lord Fatos sat on the throne, and below him were a group of legendary night elves and a few legendary demons.
At this time, both Fatos and the other legendary strongmen looked a little strange.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and a legendary night elf warrior couldn't help but speak.
"How could this be the newly promoted Lower Abyss Lord?! How could any newly promoted Lower Abyss Lord be able to gather such a massive elite army in such a short period of time?!"
Just as the top brass of Duolun City was discussing it, new news arrived.
"Lord, Explosive Flame City has disappeared!" A legendary night elf thief suddenly appeared in the hall, speaking in an anxious and panicked tone.
This news immediately shocked all the powerful individuals in the hall, and Fatos, who had been silent on the throne, was visibly moved.
The legendary thief did not whet their appetites and reported what he saw in full without any omissions.
"I followed your instructions and hid outside the city of Explosive Flame. Then I sent my demon servants inside the city to inquire about the news. The result was that not long ago..."
Here, just as the legendary thief finished his report, the space rippled again, and another legendary night elf thief appeared in the hall.
"Lord, Black Wing City has suddenly expanded rapidly," the legendary thief said quickly.
At this point, even the slowest thinkers in the hall had already guessed the full story.
"Lord of Black Wing City..." Fatos had fear and shock in his eyes.
And a little bit of luck.
'Fortunately. Fortunately, I didn't get involved personally.'
'Otherwise, I might have ended up hunted down by the Lord of Black Wing City just like the Balor Fire Demon at this moment.'
Sure enough, there's nothing wrong with being cautious about everything.
In the eyes of Fatos at this moment, Explosive Flame City had disappeared. Naturally, there was no need to think too hard about the fate of the Explosive Flame Lord. He must be dead—completely and utterly dead.
"Defend the city." After thinking for a long time and seeing that the army of winged men from Black Wing City was about to attack, Fatos finally made a decision.
This decision was both humiliating and helpless—it was the worst of the worst.
Defending the city meant giving up the vast wild resources and the new demons that were constantly being born and teleportating in the wild. At the same time, the number of merchants and plane adventurers from other planes and abyssal cities would also be greatly reduced.
If this continued, the power of Duolun City would only continue to weaken, and there was a high probability that it would not be able to participate in the upcoming Bloody War of the Abyss that occurred once every hundred years. After all, without enough troops, participating in the Bloody War of the Abyss and hoping to gain meaningful benefits would be far too difficult.
