Chapter 156: The Battle of Holy Mountain

  Brothers and sisters, I'm finally back! I've missed you all to death. No more nonsense, the crazy update officially begins now! Everyone, get ready to throw your tickets!

  "This Princess Yuliyana has a very high reputation among the indigenous people of Holy Light Continent!" Keli praised: "People have never slandered her because of her origin, even including her enemies - the Allied Forces of Various Tribes!"

  "What?" The poor Taoist was confused, did the demon clan have a good reputation? Why did it seem like she was the angel instead? He asked strangely: "Are you sure you're not feverish and talking nonsense?"

  "It's really true!" Keli said with a serious expression: "These are all facts that I have personally experienced!"

  "What did you experience?" The poor Taoist became even more curious and hastily asked: "What was your identity at that time?"

  "Commander of the Holy Light Mage Corps!" Krie's words were filled with an unmistakable pride!

  "So it's you, General Erl of the Notley Legion!" The elegant voice of Princess Yulia echoed at the entrance: "I really didn't think that even now I could still see an old friend!"

  "Mei'er, you're here!" I hastily stood up and smiled at the little beauty who suddenly appeared in front of me. "I was just listening to Keli tell stories about you!"

  Princess Youliya is now wearing a purple evening gown, and although she doesn't have any jewelry on her body, her stunning beauty alone is enough to captivate everyone. If I hadn't seen many beauties before and cultivated my heart, I'm afraid I would immediately fall under her pomegranate skirt!

  "Hehe! Alright! I'd also like to hear how others evaluate me, may I?" Princess Yuliana smiled at Kuri.

  "It's an honor!" Kuri said respectfully!

  "Everyone, don't be so formal! Please sit down first and then we'll talk!" The poor Daoist saw that they were all being too reserved, so he hastily mediated.

  They exchanged a knowing smile and then both sat down in their chairs with ease!

  "That's right! It's better this way, Keli, you continue!" The poor Taoist smiled at Keli.

  "Princess Yulia has been waging war across the continent since her victory over the gods. She has achieved countless brilliant victories, but even when the demon tribe had the upper hand, she never mistreated the prisoners of war or harmed unarmed civilians. Even when the Demon Emperor issued a decree to slaughter all resisting tribes on the continent, only she dared to take in and protect those poor civilians. Sometimes, she would even turn against powerful leaders from other demon tribes for this reason. Later, the tribal leaders banded together to impeach her, but she never wavered in her actions to help the civilians." Kuri sighed and said: "Although she was publicly slapped by the Demon Emperor for this, and was banished from the continent to guard the gates of the demon realm, she still persisted in sneaking back to help those who had lost their homes in the war."

  "Ah! With a heart like yours, you shouldn't be a demon at all!" I sighed.

  "It's not as great as you said!" Yu Lianya, the princess, said with embarrassment: "I just think that since we've occupied their home, it's better to get along peacefully. Otherwise, our demon clan can't even compare to the human tribe in terms of numbers! I'm doing this for us too!"

  "Isn't that just the same?" Kri asked: "Don't you have any thoughts for them? If so, then you don't need to order the release of prisoners of war either?"

  "Others are timid and afraid of seeing blood!" Princess Youliya said with a mischievous squeeze of her eyes!

  "Coward? Haha!" Keli suddenly burst out laughing: "A person who dares to tease the Divine Emperor, will they be timid? A person who dares to openly defy the Demon Emperor, will they be timid? At the most critical moment, in order to save the demon army, still resolutely daring to launch a general attack on the Sacred Mountain, will they be timid?"

  "Attack the Holy Mountain?" The poor Taoist asked curiously: "You're so bold? I thought this feat would have to wait for me to accomplish, but instead you've beaten me to it!"

  "Hmph! I didn't want to either! Who would willingly go to that broken place?" Princess Yulia said discontentedly.

  "Hurry up and tell me about the situation at that time! Kuri!" The poor Taoist asked anxiously.

  "I've already said that until the last moment of the war, the remaining million-strong army of the Demon Clan was surrounded by over 1000 W teams of the Allied Forces! They tried to break through several times, running back to the Demon Island and then back to the Demon Realm, but all failed! The Demon Emperor himself could have escaped, but unlike the God Emperor, he's a hardliner who wouldn't do something like fleeing in disarray! At this last critical moment! The Phantom Phoenix Legion, which was originally sent to guard the Demon Island, suddenly appeared under the Holy Mountain and launched a fierce attack. In just two days and one night, they fought their way to the Pope's Palace, and were about to destroy the Gate of Heaven!" Kuri still remembers that battle vividly even now, and gets excited whenever it's mentioned!

  "It's ruined again!" The poor Taoist smiled and said: "What's the big deal?"

  "Ha!" Princess Yuliyaa laughed at me and said: "I'm not just going to destroy that broken door, I'm going to permanently seal the rift in space or completely destroy it. In short, I want to make sure those gods on the mainland can never come back!"

  "You're ruthless enough!" The poor Taoist praised: "And then?"

  "The angels surrounding the Demon Clan lost their will to fight, misjudging the situation based on the intensity of the attack. They thought that Princess Yuriel had brought reinforcements from the Demon Realm to ensure a safe passage home." Kuri sighed: "Without this absolute main force, the other tribes in the Allied Forces would not be able to trap these elite demons no matter what! All they could do was watch as they escaped back into the Demon Realm!"

  "It's really a group of pigs, how did the beautiful Princess Yulia appear suddenly?" The poor Taoist asked curiously: "It seems that the battlefield is between Devil Island and Holy Mountain, right? How did you cross the battlefield without being detected?"

  "There's something strange, we have some races that look very similar to you, I let them disguise themselves as your Allied soldiers, those who don't look alike hide in the big carriage, and we pretend to be a troop transporting spoils of war! Haha! We just swaggered in with our weapons like this!" Princess Yulia said with a triumphant smile.

  "Alas! No one inquires about you!" The poor Taoist asked!

  "Ah! This country asks, I'm from that country, that country asks, I'm from this country. Over 100 million troops, just the numbers are in the hundreds! Who can remember them all?! And with some spiritual magic, it's hard to find a breakthrough!" Princess Yulia smiled and said: "And at that time, you thought you had already won, so you relaxed your guard, making it easy for us to sneak onto Sacred Mountain. I still feel like it's unbelievable! If those damned angels hadn't detected our presence, we might have even reached the Pope's palace, and they wouldn't have known!"

  "But with just your small troop, what can you do?" The poor Taoist asked strangely: "I don't believe that the Sacred Mountain doesn't have heavy troops guarding it!"

  "You ask him, he was stationed on Holy Mountain at that time, should be clearer than me!" Yu Liya Princess said to Keli!

  "Ah! It's hard to put into words!" Keli said with a pained expression: "Those bastards from the God tribe, at the beginning of the war they were arrogant and reckless, but after suffering a huge loss, they immediately became timid and cowardly, always asking our coalition army to take the lead, while they assisted, resulting in us suffering heavy casualties. The likes of the dwarves and gnomes, with populations in the tens of millions, were almost wiped out! Later, after we spent a hundred years fighting bitterly and finally managed to exhaust the demon tribe, they immediately jumped out and demanded to take the lead again, just to reap more benefits! As a result, in order to gain more merit, they even abandoned the angelic legion that had been stationed on Holy Mountain for ages, leaving only 20,000 new recruits behind! And now, they're using this as an excuse to strengthen the defenses of Holy Mountain and recall one of our human tribe's elite legions!"

  "Damn it! At this time, being turned back like that isn't it obvious that someone wants to steal our credit?" Poor Dao looked at Ke Li's expression and teased: "It can't be you, the jinx, right?"

  "It seems to be me, and my Demon Army!" Krie smiled wryly before cursing angrily: "Damn it, at this time our strongest army is being called back, especially our mage corps. This is clearly intended to increase the casualties of our allied forces and weaken our power! They say we're here to garrison, but they don't even give us a single protective unit! Are they asking us mages to engage in close combat with humans? If the Guardian Army that was always responsible for protecting us was still here, how could this have happened?" Krie's emotions were stirred up to the point of almost shedding tears.

  "Ah! How are they?" Poor Dao carefully asked Princess Youliya.

  "Ah!" Princess Yulia sighed, then said regretfully: "When they suddenly appeared, I was startled and thought something bad would happen. But unexpectedly, they didn't have any high-level troops to support them, so we easily got close! What can a wizard do when faced with the physically powerful demonic warriors? There's only self-destruction!"

  "Ahh! Self-destruct!" The poor Daoist fainted!

  "Yes! The so-called mobile artillery mages, who were almost powerless in close combat, chose to self-destruct for the sake of defending their sacred land, and died together with our warriors. More than 10,000 high-level mages self-destructed, it was so tragic! I will never forget that blood-red night, and those respectable mages!" Princess Yulia's eyes welled up with tears as she described the heroic deeds of the mages in a choked voice.

  The mages of the Magic Army are completely free to choose not to die! They also know that if they surrender, with the reputation of Princess Yuliana, their lives will be absolutely guaranteed! And even in retrospect, they have no responsibility! According to the military regulations of the Allied Forces, when a mage loses the protection of soldiers and is surrounded by enemies, he can choose to surrender. The responsibility lies with the guarding troops who failed to complete their guarding mission!

  But at that moment, all of this was deliberately ignored. Without anyone's organization, for the safety of the holy land and for the faith in their hearts, they collectively chose dignity! Like fearless martyrs, they calmly and orderly welcomed death. More than 6,000 people successfully perished together with the enemy, and the rest were killed before they could self-destruct. Not a single person surrendered! Until the end of this battle, the entire Holy Light Mage Corps, including Kri, was left with only seven people!
