The demons’ collapse became increasingly apparent as they struggled against Harald’s futile advance and the relentless siege by the Crown of the Ocean.

After Harald got eaten, many demon officers stepped forward to command the army to counterattack, but they were all specially taken care of, either accurately killed by Elisya, or individually slain by other heroes.

The highest legion commander was devoured, and the middle and lower-level officers either died or were too afraid to show themselves. The demon soldiers lacked command, wandering around like headless flies, seeking opportunities to break through, only to be fiercely counterattacked by the Crown of the Ocean, which was organized and assisted by many high-level heroes.

Currently, the 250,000 demons from the Third Legion, despite their large numbers, couldn’t unify their forces. They found themselves slowly weakening amidst reluctance and cries of despair.

Looking down at the overwhelmingly one-sided battle below, witnessing the despair, struggle, and fear emerging from the demons, Ji Chen couldn’t help but speak.

“So it turns out that demons, who spread evil and chaos, also experience fear and despair.”

Standing beside him, Lainekel was slightly stunned and whispered, “Demons are a race that carries countless negative emotions. When they find themselves unable to defeat the enemy and face destruction, they will be overwhelmed by their own negative emotions, leading to collapse.”

Ji Chen pondered and said, “Then would Balzarna be like this too?”

Lainekel was dumbfounded, recalling the countless painful memories engraved in his mind over the past hundreds of thousands of years, the appearance of the demon king that had once driven him to the brink of collapse. His eyes gradually filled with determination.

With a firm tone, he said, “I don’t know, but I will definitely witness his despair with my own eyes, even if it costs me my life.”

Hearing the determination in Lainekel’s words, Ji Chen fell silent for a moment and said, “I will do my best to fulfill your wish.”

Lainekel solemnly bowed in gratitude, “Thank you for your generosity.”

Half a day later, the slaughter in this area gradually subsided.

The Crown of the Ocean’s troops cleaned up the battlefield, finishing off the demons who were not yet dead.

This demon army was systematically annihilated, with not a single survivor. The sea was filled with an astonishing number of corpses, and the blood of demons thoroughly tainted the sea, making the black sea water even more intense under the dim sky.

This wave of slaughter, which killed as many as 250,000 demons, created a more magnificent achievement than the previous repulsion of the demon vanguard army. Both battles ended in victory for the Crown of the Ocean, with a total of up to 550,000 demons being eliminated. Even Balzarna would feel a slight pang of regret for such losses, wouldn’t he?

The demon army.

“Has Harald not returned?”

“As of present, Commander Harald has not sent back any messages.”

Balzarna looked in the darkened northwest direction with his hands behind his back, gradually showing a hint of gloom in his eyes. He had a vague premonition that Harald might have encountered some trouble.

But even so, that was a full 250,000 demons. It shouldn’t be impossible to send back even a messenger, right?

The uneasy feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger, so he decisively ordered, “Send out reconnaissance teams to investigate the situation of the Third Legion!”

Several teams of sixth-tier winged demon squads quickly ascended into the sky, heading towards the northwest direction where Harald had departed, following the traces left behind as they flew.

Other demon lords lowered their heads behind him, exchanging looks with subtle expressions on their faces.

Could something have happened to Harald?

Several hours later, the silhouette of the winged demon squad appeared in the sky once again.

“Lord Balzarna, the Third Legion has been annihilated, and no survivors were found.”

This news was too shocking. Even Balzarna was momentarily stunned, squinting his eyes as he asked in return, “Is this true?”

“We witnessed tens of thousands of bodies floating in the sea, and Commander Harald is nowhere to be found.”

The demon leaders took in a sharp breath, looking at each other in disbelief. This was a whole elite demon legion of 250,000.

Although Yasen was worthless, losing 200,000 troops still took about four or five days to accomplish, but Harald had disappeared completely in just half a day?

Each loss seemed to surpass the previous one!

They had no concern for Harald. Whether he was captured or dead, as long as he didn’t drag them down, it was fine.

At this moment, they had no intention of actively seeking battle anymore. First, it was the defeated Yasen, now the missing Harald, coupled with the series of events where they were humiliated by the Lord of Glory.

Everyone deeply realized that the Crown of the Ocean was not to be trifled with. They, as leaders and commanders, were no match for the Lord of Glory, neither in strength nor in strategy.

Now, perhaps the only one who could pose a challenge was Balzarna himself.

Balzarna’s expression worsened, his originally hateful face appearing even more ugly and fierce. The sense of power and mystery he had previously maintained in front of his subordinates could no longer be sustained. He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

“March the entire army and attack the Crown of the Ocean immediately. I want it razed to the ground within three days!”

The demon leaders quickly responded.

Sensing Balzarna’s growing frustration, Ji Chen decisively commanded the army to press on toward the Stormy Sea. He ordered the spell projections to persist, constantly striking down demons and sapping their strength.

As they traveled just a hundred miles, the demons felt as if an eternity had passed. Every moment, they anxiously watched the sky, dreading the possibility of impending doom from above.
