Chapter 312: Chapter 232: Final Battle! Vampire Semi-Divine Artifact [Thorny Giant Sword], [Eye of Judgment]
For three straight days, Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm remained unexpectedly peaceful!
Ever since the night of the second day, when the Silver Moon Knights and Moon Hunters—the two cavalry corps of the Moon Elves—ambushed the Vampire Regular Army and Vampire Viscount Hercules under the cover of darkness as they arrived through the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate,
not only were the vampires driven back through the portal,
but for three full days afterward, no new Vampire Corps emerged from the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate!
If it weren’t for the fact that the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate was still standing there,
the Clans in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm would have thought the battle was over!
However, these three days of tranquility in the Divine Realm only served to heighten Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s vigilance.
"This is too strange!"
Standing at the highest point of the War Fortress, Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s brow furrowed as she gazed at the distant Blood-colored Teleportation Gate amidst the ruins.
Noticing her grim expression, Feiyana’s adjutant tried to comfort her:
"Legion Commander, maybe our last counterattack was so fierce that the Vampires on the other side are too scared to come through?"
Elf Legion Commander Feiyana shook her head.
"I have experienced hundreds of invasions, big and small. Never once has an invading clan chosen to give up after paying such a price."
"When the spoils of an entire plane are laid before you, could you refuse?"
The adjutant’s expression turned grim as he shook his head.
"Relay my orders!"
"We have two days left. The entire army must not let its guard down for a single moment!"
"Increase the frequency and duration of the Elf Scouts’ reconnaissance."
"Have the Moon Elf cavalry patrols intensify their sweeps of the area around the War Fortress."
"The Dwarf Warriors must keep a tight watch on the walls of the War Fortress."
"The Goblin Clan must ensure all Magic Equipment is ready for immediate use..."
"Is that clear?"
"Understood!"
Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s orders were quickly passed down by her adjutant.
On the walls of the War Fortress, the Dwarf and Elf Warriors defended their posts with greater care.
The Goblin Engineers periodically inspected their Magical Instruments.
The Elf Mages also laid more Guard Spells around the War Fortress...
「On the night of the fifth day in the Divine Realm,」
the scene on the other side of the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate suddenly changed!
On the other side of the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate lay the Blood-colored Plain, a desolate and chaotic land with sparse vegetation.
Over this plain,
a Blood Moon suddenly rose!
The crimson Blood Moon replaced the pristine silver moon.
This sight immediately caught Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s attention.
However, after the strange phenomenon appeared, nothing happened. Elf Legion Commander Feiyana had braced herself for the sight of the opposing Vampire Corps pouring endlessly through the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate. But in the end, apart from the faint, overlapping screeches of bats echoing from beyond the portal, not a single Vampire Soldier stepped through to the Divine Realm’s soil.
This feeling of seeing the strange phenomenon without knowing what was actually happening was truly unsettling.
"What in the world are the Vampires on the other side waiting for?"
"All this dawdling!"
"Either fight or don’t! What’s the point of all this waiting?"
Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer, whom Elf Legion Commander Feiyana had transferred to the front lines, grumbled impatiently as he polished his Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact—the Hammer of the Earth.
For the hot-tempered Dwarf Leader, waiting three days was already a great display of patience.
Meanwhile, Joy Pala, the Elf Mage Captain, waited patiently.
As an Elf Mage,
she naturally possessed at least that much patience.
"Isn’t this the best possible situation?"
"According to My God’s Oracle, whether the enemy attacks or not, once the seventh day passes,"
"My God will be able to sever the connection between the Teleportation Gate and the Divine Realm."
"At that point, we will have defeated the invading Clan without losing a single soldier,"
"and we will have also harvested an immense pile of Vampire corpses, more than ten thousand in total."
"Offering so many sacrifices to our great God... My God will surely be very pleased and grant us even more boons!"
Elf High Priest Shamiel said piously.
Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer heard High Priest Shamiel’s words and had to admit she had a point,
but remaining idle like this still made him feel restless.
And given the war situation, he couldn’t even go off to do some Blacksmithing.
Elf Legion Commander Feiyana did not participate in their conversation.
Her gaze remained fixed on the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate.
As the supreme commander of all armies in the Divine Realm,
Elf Legion Commander Feiyana couldn’t possibly relax like the other three Heroes from the Heroic Clan, whom she had posted to the front line as elite combatants.
She had to remain vigilant at all times!
Meanwhile, Instructor Li Qiongtian, who was also monitoring the students’ first month-end assessment,
sent a wisp of his consciousness assigned to Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm. It passed effortlessly through the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate, seeing the scene on the Blood-colored Plain beyond.
With the rise of the Blood Moon,
Vampire Viscount Hercules—having survived the completion of the Blood Moon Ceremony—
was completely transformed from how he had looked just days before!
Not only had the wound—inflicted by Elf Legion Commander Feiyana and her Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact, Natural Fury—healed completely without a scar,
but his body had also become much stronger.
His frame, originally just over a meter tall, now stood at a full two meters.
Beneath his skin, crimson blood flowed rapidly,
