In the silence, the cannibalistic fog quietly expanded, and no creature could escape, not even the high-ranking imperial duke.

The interweaving of red and black is a color that chooses people to eat, symbolizing destruction and nothingness.

The loss of all contact with an Imperial Duke is a serious outcome.

This expansion speed that appeared like a ghost from the northernmost part of the empire and devoured like a giant whale was already worthy of being set up as a second-level natural disaster warning, enough to cause irreparable damage to the entire empire.

As a result, the Imperial Diet issued the most stringent directives:

issuance of a Guard Order I ; martial law throughout the country; All civil actions shall be prohibited, and those who violate the order shall be punished with joint sitting; The administrative power of the governors of the major provinces was temporarily transferred to the commanders of the local garrisons and reorganized into a military government......

All civil rebellion seemed to disappear overnight, and the vast state apparatus was once again functioning at maximum efficiency.

Evacuate the masses, send laborers, build a defensive line, and the army is stationed...... On the other hand, the highest-level battles in the Path of the Living Dead have also come to an epic end.

The Children of Dread, who had mastered some of the plane's origins, also knew very well how huge the threat from the outside was, so they only symbolically demanded a part of the price and agreed to a truce, allowing the top combat forces of the Surdua Empire to withdraw and deploy all of them in the northern defense line.

Isolated from the land of nearly three provinces, the connected strategic defensive line was almost 700,000 troops stationed, supported by countless firearms and steam vehicles.

The steam fortresses rattled their valves, and their spider-like foot joints slowly moved towards the forward position carrying the metal castle full of cannon barrels on its back.

Countless black dots fell from the gray clouds.

They were steam airships from the various cogwheel provinces of the Empire, also armed to the teeth with all kinds of firearms, and the power chamber was even loaded with a self-detonating device, powerful enough to level a hill in an instant.

The latest product born from Imperial Labs, the Floating Fortress has also revealed its hideous appearance on the eve of this unprecedented war.

Hanging in the air like a Rubik's cube, the edges and corners are cut smoothly and neatly, and countless blue crystal tubes cling to the bare gears and spread in all directions, forming a complex but coordinated whole.

The triangular slices that bulge outwards are embedded with energy triggers, which can draw a large amount of energy to the core at any time through the transistor connection, and turn it into a devastating beam of light at one time.

The alchemist compresses a large amount of energy into a magic crystal the size of an ordinary house, and extracts a large and stable amount of energy under the dangerous fission reaction, allowing the entire castle to soar into the sky.

It's an epoch-making masterpiece, and in a sense, the Floating Fortress can be seen as a product of the Astral Plane City.

If there is no major threat, this civilization will one day be able to embark on the path of dimensional colonization.

Countless terrifying war machines have been deployed, but the fog of the unknown brings not just dangerous mysteries, but fears that can consume myths.

The oldest fears often come from the unknown, and in response to this fear, the Empire's top brass has prepared for even the worst.

There was a large tonnage of explosives buried under the entire line of defense, enough to blast an entire gear province into the sky, and it was believed that no commander would dare to use these explosives until the moment of last resort.

……

For three days and three nights, the Imperial soldiers deployed in the defensive line supported themselves for three days and three nights in a state of hesitation and nervous readiness, and they could support them for at least another seven days or so in the foreseeable future.

Fortunately, however, the soldiers did not have to wait until after the seventh day, when the third day ended, and at dawn on the fourth day, a ray of morning light fell from the gray sky and was about to shine into the trenches where the Imperial soldiers were.

Suddenly—

A cloud of mist flew up from the horizon, engulfing the light.

As dawn passed, dawn came, and the Imperial warriors stared straight ahead with bloodshot eyes, unleashing the fiercest assault on the approaching black and red mist in the still dim sky.

Muskets, artillery, chariots, tanks, steam fortresses, airships, ...... The orange-red and azure lines of fire all burst out at once, building a vitality suppression net that stretched for hundreds of kilometers in the deafening thunder.

In the dim sky, only the continuous flickering fire still shows its sense of existence, bright and extinguished, even if it does not want to be dimmed, but it can never prevent the fact that the darkness is getting heavier and heavier.

The black-red mist wriggled and condensed hundreds of ugly heads, cracking their mouths and smiling as if mocking the useless attacks of the Imperial Army, though the mist heads were blasted beyond recognition by the artillery fire.

It lasted for three hourglass hours without stopping, and finally, the fog stopped expanding, and the next moment, a dense monster rushed out of the fog, looking like a two-legged running shark, with tattered batwing on its back.

These shark-like monsters are huge in number, and each one is fierce enough to be blasted into meat sauce in a hail of bullets, but the speed of running forward is not reduced in the slightest.

The Imperial Army breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the visible enemy is often cuter than the invisible, because they can see and touch, which means that they can be killed in front of their eyes.

Soon, though, no one in the Empire would think so.

The number of sharks is too large, densely packed with ants that seem to be pouring out of their nests, but each one is the size of a lion.

The blocking of fire wiped out some of them, and the thunder and fire and traps in the ground wiped out some of them, but no matter how many gaps were cleared, the huge number of sharks could be filled up quickly.

What's more, the wings on the backs of these sharks are not ornaments, they fly into the sky like cockroaches, and attack the airships and floating fortresses.

The number of shark monsters rushing out of the fog was far and wide, and finally, even the dense fire net could not be completely suppressed, and a narrow gap was filled in an instant, and the shark monsters filled the trench with the flesh and blood of their companions, and the sharp and interlaced shark teeth of the mouth were fiercely bitten on the metal barrier with spikes, and the metal wall was deformed with one bite.

Such a crazy gesture made many Imperial soldiers instantly frightened, and it was this stunned kung fu that a bloody shark monster had torn open the city barrier and bit the young warrior's head fiercely.

After a few chews, a headless corpse fell convulsively, and the completely shattered neck splattered hot blood, spilling on the shark monster's body, adding a bit of bloodthirsty hideousness. (https:)
