With each day of defeat and losing their grounds of their Undercity bit by bit to the humans and monsters, the Demon Rats' morale was dropping rapidly. The rumours regarding the death of their Air Force General had been made true once the Demon Rats in the Air Force had been given orders by Mage General Prideblood.
And what was worse was that the humans were relenting in their fight, something which most of the veterans had dismissed them as weak beings were refuted at each and every turn of the battle. The newer Demon Rats could see the vigour of the human cultivators returning to the battle not defeated but ever more eager to kill them.
Their numbers might not amount to much but their resurrective abilities were something that even the Demon Rats believed that it was only a matter of time before they lost such an ability and died permanently. There was no such thing as infinite magic and somehow they thought it was proven true within the second day of the battle.
Yet, as a spark of hope shimmers through their hearts, the humans came in with their allied monsters to crush all their beliefs. Now into the fourth day of battle, they were desperately fighting only in hopes that their main armies who had advanced into the Eastern and Western regions would have more success and buy them time to establish a new foothold in said regions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, the control of information by the High Command had disabled them from knowing the truth that their main armies were nowhere near the Eastern nor Western regions. Even in their attempt to retreat to the Undercity as reinforcements had been cut off as there were reports that the monsters had taken control of the tunnels at both ends.
There were no more troops to spare to retake the entrance of the tunnels by the Undercity and even a squad of Demon Rats Elites under the command of Cinderclaw had been wiped out by two greenish 'guardians' standing proud and strong at each entrance.
The presence of Jin's infamous Goblins, the Death Knight and the Ifrit's Successo had made the intensive training and experience Demon Rats Elites gained, a joke. They were nearly immediately slaughtered with their powers combined and the goblins knew that a great show of strength would deter the High Command from sending any more troops now that they were at a deficit.
However, the Demon Rat Generals refused to acknowledge the fact that they could not be killed, especially the Mage General who knew that he still had the ultimate trump card in his sleeve. The Lifestream Energy Bomb.
He had read extensive reports on how the bomb's side effects after it had exploded, disabling the ability to regrow anything. This means that there was a chance- nay, a definite way to kill all the humans and their monsters in one go as long as they were gathered.
Even if it means the destruction of the Undercity then so be it. Prideblood believed that destroying the bulk of these humans with resurrective powers within the Undercity would not just be an achievement but also a warning to their group that was hiding beyond the Northern Region to be afraid of the Demon Rats.
All they needed was more time so that the humans and monsters would be more concentrated within the Undercity before he used such a deadly weapon. However, the only problem with such a tactic was that it was a theory that had yet to be proven against the humans and no one had such a plan in mind, not even the Usurper General Cinderclaw who took the throne for himself.
However, with each passing second, the loss of troops and the need to command the rest of the air force, the thought of using the Lifestream Energy bomb was getting stronger and stronger. It felt like it was a beginning of an obsession, wanting to use such technological powers and defeat the humans once and for all.
Unfortunately, as he was thinking on the sidelines about the total destruction of the humans, the radio and magic communication operators were signalling the Generals in their high seats that the humans were teleporting something huge. (Since they saw a huge portal on their magic eyes and cameras)
"Is it that big fish that was hovering above the Northern Capital? They are teleporting that thing in?" Prideblood did not know how to fight that threat but he believed the remaining bulk of Gnawbones Airforce would be a perfect diversion for it while the humans gain the balls to rush through the city centre.

We could not identify its use-" The operators reported until the Ever Extending Bridge which Jin had prepared finally came into play. It shot out instantly like a rock being slung out from a catapult as it extended endlessly with the use of magic. Kiva was absolutely delighted that his newest invention was being used especially during a wartime setting.
The Bat Lord made sure that the coordinates were right, barely avoiding almost every single building by extending it over them while stretching towards the High Command's location. Soon, the bridge 'found' its target and crashed itself towards the High Command, lodging itself in the middle of it all. At the same time, Kiva ensured that more plates were deployed not to just ensure that it was firmly into the High Command but also to ensure the stability of the bridge.
Soon, pillars started to grow like tree roots attempting to find stable ground. (They do look like metal tree roots from afar.)
"Charge!" Baal, who was the first to emerge from the portal in a lightweight armoured car, had now surprised the rest of the Demon Rat's High Command. The shock gave them sufficient time for the remaining army to pop out from the portal all in armoured vehicles, ranging from armoured cars to heavy duty tanks.
Some of the soldiers were on foot but they ensured the portal's safety by fortifying the surrounding buildings so that the Demon rats could not disrupt the Demopolis's army advance.
One thing is for sure, the assault to end everything finally begins.
