Picking Up Attributes From Today Chapter 270

Taurens were one of the most powerful races in the Beast People Empire due to their strong physique and a decent reproduction rate.

Taurens were similar to other Beast People races, where they were made up of over a thousand clans of different sizes.

The Iron Heel Clan was one of them, occupying several dozen million square kilometers of land in the Iron Heel Plains. The clan had a huge population where experts were plenty, so it had a huge influence over the Taurens and the Beast People Empire.

However, the Iron Heel Clan was faced with their worst ever crisis on this day, as waves and waves of demons swept toward them like a tsunami.

Hooowl!

Croooak!

Quaaack!

From the weak juvenile Taurens, and the strong Tauren warriors, to the Saint Domain experts hovering in the sky, they were all overwhelmed. They were getting torn into pieces and split among the devils as food, getting swallowed as a whole, or getting stomped into a meat sauce by the Demon Overlords.

Everything in the devil's path turned into ruins.

“We… We are finished!”

“O' great and noble Beast God, please save your lowly people!”

“These damn demons, I'm going all out!”

“Save me! Somebody, please save me…”

Screams, shrills, cries for help rung across the sky above the Iron Heel Plains. They died down quickly as the relentless waves of demons drowned them out.

Three hours later, the tide went away. The Iron Heel Clan was completely gone, and what remained was a hellish scene.

The Taurens were gone.

Buildings had all collapsed.

The clan was reduced to ruins.

The Iron Heel Clan had disappeared forever in the Beast People Empire and Heaven's Vault Continent as if they vanished in thin air!

“Master below is the most important passage of the Beast People Empire, the Beast God Pass. It is the only way through to the Beast People Empire's heart and the last line of defense of the empire. If the pass falls, the demon army will be able to enter straight toward the Beast People royal court, and the empire will fall to the enemies!”

“The Beast God Pass is indeed majestic!”

Meng Lei hovered in the air and looked at the grand pass as he remarked.

The Beast God Pass looked mighty as it sat on the Far Northern Wastelands—surrounded by huge mountains and precipitous ridges and spanned over hundreds and thousands of miles.

“Due to its importance, the Beast People Empire has gathered 10 regiments here to defend the pass at all cost against the demon army.”

“That is certainly so!”

The Beast People Empire army that amassed at the pass was well over a billion in strength, it was simply vast!

The hundred-meter-high Behemoth regiment, the blond-haired Lion People regiment, and the formidable-looking Tiger People regiment.

Of course, there was also the Bull, Komodo, Elephant-Men, Hippo-Men, Centaur, Rhino-Men, and Leopard-Men regiments!

Each regiment's average size was over 100,000,000, so the 10 regiments had a combined force of more than 1,000,000,000 strength, on par with India's population!

Other than that, many Saint Domain experts gathered at the pass, reaching over 10,000 in size!

Over 10,000 Saint Domains was an absolute force to be reckoned with that could destroy a country easily!

Despite this, no one favored the Beast People Empire to win!

“It will be in vain! Everything will be in vain!”

Gazing at the huge Beast People Empire army, Puhaman shook his head. “This demon army is very different from any other demonic disaster in the past. This one is an unprecedented one which this bit of resistance will surely fail!”

Bubbles, Thaniel, Nadja, and the rest nodded in agreement—the Beast People Empire's military strength was indeed formidable, but that was only the case for ordinary beings as it was nothing compared to this demonic disaster.

“If this carries on, the Beast People Empire will be finished and destroyed by the demon army!” Puhaman shook his head and sighed. “Master, do we watch them get wiped out and cash in on the situation, or help them out?”

Bubbles, Thaniel, and the others looked at Meng Lei and awaited his orders.

“The Beast People Empire nobles deserved to die, but the commoners have done no wrong to deserve death.” Meng Lei did not hesitate at all. “Plus, Beast People live in our Heaven's Vault Continent, how can we watch them get destroyed by the demons?”

“Yes, Master!”

Hooowl!

Just then, a deep roar came from afar, as a black line was spotted on the ground level.

As time passed by, the black line became thicker and thicker, turning into a black wave, then into a sea…

That was the mighty demon army!

“Master, the demon army is here!”

Puhaman, Bubbles, and the rest perked up with no fear in their eyes. They were actually excited and getting ready for a battle.

It was the demon army, after all!

There were a lot of demon lords that were the same level as them, so they were eager to have the chance to battle them.

“Indeed! They're here!”

Meng Lei raised his head slightly as he remained calm.

“The demons are here!!”

“The demon army is coming!”

The Beast People Empire army saw the demon army's arrival and shouted at the top of their lungs.

With every order passed down, the entire Beast People Empire army went to stand by for battle.

Arrows on the bowstring!

Blades were drawn!

Mages chanted lightly!

Cannons ready to fire!

Roar!!

Croooak!!

“Master, the demon army is here!”

The Beast Emperor and his officials watched the swarm of the demon army, with hatred, fear, and anxiety in their eyes.

“Send my orders! From myself down to every soldier, we must give it our all and fight till the very end! We shall defend the Beast God Pass to our death!” The Beast Emperor said coldly.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The orders were sent down. Still, the Beast Emperor was worried as he flew above his army and said with a thunderous voice, “Fellow comrades, the time to defend our homeland has come. Let us destroy these damn demons and protect our home and our loved ones!”

“We shall defend the Beast God Pass to our death!”

“We shall defend the Beast God Pass to our death!”

“We shall defend the Beast God Pass to our death!”

Every beast people roared at the sky, sending thundering sound waves across the plains, beating the massive demon wave in terms of their aura.

“Send my order: Attack!”

At his command, countless magic cannons spewed fire and blasted toward the swarm of the demon army.

Boom!

Innumerable demon soldiers were blasted into pieces while flesh exploded all over the place, creating pockets of empty spaces. However, the rest of the demons were unfazed as they carried on charging at the Beast God Pass.

There were Fire demons bathed in flames, the Ice demons snow-white throughout, the Wind demons shrouded in black winds, and Bloodseekers made of blood. There were countless little devils, great devils, long-horned devils, and howling devils, all continuing their advancement ceaselessly!

“Kill!”

After the cannons were fired, a dense rain of arrows and spells killed innumerable demons, but it still could not stop the demon wave in their tracks. In fact, they did not even slow down at all.

In a matter of minutes, the blood-red wave had arrived before the pass. Demon Generals of Saint Domain level led the line as they jumped toward the Beast People Empire army at the gateway to start the siege.

“Attack!”

The Beast Emperor swung his longsword!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Their attacks were like a massive thunderstorm that turned the demon generals into sieves. Before the defending Beast People Empire could catch their breath, countless demon soldiers carried on with their charge toward the gates…

Just like that, a charge led to a counter-attack!

Under the Beast People Empire army's strong-willed resistance, the demons could not break through for quite a while.

In this situation, a half-deity level Demon Overlord soared into the sky and let out a deafening roar.

“Roar!”

A mighty demonic aura erupted and pressed toward the Beast People Empire army. Upon sensing this threatening might, the Beast People Empire army panicked.

“Half-deities!!”

“This is a half-deity demon!”

“Damn it! How are we going to stop that?”

The empire officials were close to breaking down—they could stop ordinary demon soldiers and demon generals with their advantage in Beast God Pass even if there were more of them. However, how were they supposed to stop half-deities?

What distressed them the most was that after the first Demon Overlord came out, the second one, the third one, the fourth one, the fifth one…

In an instant, hundreds of Demon Overlords were up in the sky as they charged toward the Beast God Pass.

Demonic might that covered every expanse of land pressed upon the Beast God Pass like a mountain.

“O my Beast God!”

“So many half-deities?”

“It's all over!”

“We're dead meat!”

“We can't compete with them at all!”

The Beast People Empire army, with over a billion in numbers, lost all of their morale. They could not fight one half-deity already, not to mention so many half-deities here!

How were they supposed to survive?

“Gone! Beast People Empire is finished!”

The Beast Emperor's face turned pale as he limped onto the ground, his words of courage just had collapsed.

He knew deep inside that there was no hope of winning against hundreds of half-deities, not to mention the endless demon army.

One sentence—The Beast People Empire was finished!

“Kill!”

Hundreds of Demon Overlords charged at the gates of the Beast God Pass. Some spat red hot lava, some spat white chilly currents, and some spat gleaming wind blades.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

After a round of offense, the ten regiments of the empire were either burnt into ashes or frozen into ice sculptures…

In an instant, there was already a large number of casualties.

“Too powerful!”

“They're way too powerful!”

“We are just no match against them!”

At the sight of this scene, the remaining empire army was shrouded in an endless feeling of despair, losing all hope and their willingness to fight.

When facing such terrifying Demon Overlords, how could they have won? Even if the Beast God descended now, the chances of defeating these Demon Overlords were close to none.

“It's my fault! It's all my fault!” The iron entered the Beast Emperor's soul. “If I had submitted to the Meng Lei Empire earlier, then it might not have turned out like this!

“I have failed the Beast People Empire! I have failed to protect all of my citizens!”
