Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon
Chapter 306: Time to Seize Thunder Empire

In Primo's prophecy projection, the battle between the imperial army and the Demon King's army was still ongoing. Despite the ferocious onslaught of the Demon King's forces, it was clear that after several rounds of attacks, they had not managed to break through the defenses decisively. Failing to achieve a quick victory could lead to a weakening momentum.

At this point, the imperial side began a full-scale counterattack. The Sunset Empire's Eclipse Knights, who had been lying in ambush, along with the elite troops stationed nearby, all struck back at the Demon King's army with astonishing speed. The top fighters of the imperial faction took action; the five Sword Saints, Primo, Will, and other various powerhouses, including a dozen or so Level 6 monarch-class entities, intervened. This force effectively suppressed the Demon King's army. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, with the Demon King's forces visibly diminished and gradually falling into a disadvantage, on the verge of being pushed back.

However, just at that moment, something unexpected happened. A blurred figure descended from the sky, his and the surrounding space twisted as if pixelated, and he instantly eliminated nearly half of the high-level fighters on the empire's side, catching the imperial army off guard and causing immediate chaos.

"This is..." Both the Marquis and the Emperor focused their attention on the blurred figure.

Prophet Primo spoke, "There's no mistake, that's the true Demon King of Darkness City. His power is exceedingly formidable, likely possessing top-tier space-time abilities, which is why predictions about him appear blurred and unclear."

Indeed, behind the scenes in Darkness City, the real Demon King had yet to make a move. Even with Prophet Primo's precognitive abilities, it was impossible to clearly discern the type of his techniques or his exact strength. But seeing how many of the empire's strongest, including the five Sword Saints, were effortlessly wiped out, it is evident.

The Demon King's power exceeded Level 6 mythic. He might well be a Level 6 legendary entity! While in such a massive battle, the impact an individual mortal could have was limited, when one reached the level of power that the Demon King possessed, he could no longer be measured by mortal standards.

It could be said, a legendary unit would truly be a demigod!

With just one move from the Demon King, the situation, which had been favorable for the empire, was immediately rewritten. The Demon King's forces, once again under the firepower suppression of the supreme magitek fortress, launched an attack on the imperial capital, causing severe destruction, and leaving half the city engulfed in flames. If this devastation continued, the imperial capital would certainly fall.

Just at this critical moment, a golden, blurred figure soared into the sky. This figure was none other than Emperor Frelio. Although his form was as unclear as if distorted, it was unmistakably him. Emperor Frelio's power was so immense that the space and time around him were difficult to measure accurately. However, once he joined the battle, he quickly engaged the Demon King in a fierce fight, effectively restraining the powerful adversary.

Seizing this rare opportunity, led by many of the empire's top warriors, the empire successfully destroyed the magitek fortress located in the midst of the Demon King's army. Without the fortress's fire support, the intensity of the attack significantly decreased. Under the leadership of the Emperor, after a tough and extraordinary battle, the imperial forces successfully repelled the assault from the Demon King. Although they paid a heavy price, they ultimately won the war.

The simulation ended. Primo temporarily halted the projection.

Emperor Frelio, Marquis Gabrulain, and others were deep in thought. "According to the vision," they discussed, "the empire eventually defeated the Demon King's army."

"However, the Demon King was not killed, and the imperial capital suffered heavy losses. It can only be considered a pyrrhic victory. Even though we successfully quelled this troop of the Demon King, we do not have enough strength to immediately destroy the Chaos Forest."

Emperor Frelio nodded, "Gabrulain, what do you think we should do?"

The Marquis immediately responded, "I have memorized the key attack routes of the Demon King's army. By strengthening our defenses specifically along these routes, we can slow down the Demon King's offensive and reduce our losses."

"During this attack by the Demon King's army, the mobile magitek fortress played a crucial role in fire suppression. If we can destroy this fortress from the start, then the Demon King won't be able to breach the imperial capital."

"Furthermore, the Demon King initially remained hidden and suddenly struck at a critical moment, killing nearly half of our top combat strength, which led to the turn of the situation. If we prepare in advance, not only can we avoid losses, but we might also be able to ambush the Demon King..."

Marquis Gabrulain methodically analyzed the war and made numerous suggestions for defensive adjustments and strategies to counter the Demon King's various types of troops.

Emperor Frelio XVI nodded in satisfaction. He turned to Primo and asked, "Prophet, after making improvements, can we initiate another prediction?"

Primo nodded and said, "The projections on the timeline represent only one possible future direction, which can be changed. Any influence we exert may alter the scenes that appear on the timeline."

That being so, the battle had not yet started, and the Demon King's forces were already thoroughly analyzed by the empire. The empire knew how many monarchs were in the Demon King's army, how many races, how many divisions, and even the combat strengths and attack strategies of different units. Under these circumstances, the empire could continually rehearse and refine its strategies. How could the Demon King possibly stand a chance?

Meanwhile, in Darkness City, Zhang Nu received the latest news. The Demon King's army was about to complete the total annexation of the Bachor Duchy, and recently, they had been gathering gold, materials, and blueprints abundantly.

Just then, Zhang Nu sensed a disturbance in the timeline. A slight smile curled at the corner of his mouth. He guessed it must be that prophet simulating the future again. These people could never imagine that the projection of time they were seeing had been carefully edited by someone. What they saw was significantly lacking, which would lead to very severe consequences.

"About time! Bachor Duchy has fallen! It's also time for Darkness City to officially challenge the empire," Zhang Nu decided.

He resolved to strike while the iron was hot and seize the entire empire in one go.
