“Dragon Haochen said, ‘There are less than two days left of the three days the Demon God Emperor mentioned. I believe he is also watching the battlefield over there. Even if the news isn’t as fast as ours, it won’t be too far off. Let him be happy for a while. He probably still thinks we don’t know what’s going on over there, and that the Southeast Fortress and the Myriad Beast Pass are also at a loss.'”
Dragon Tianyin sighed and said, “It’s a pity that we have to expend so many resources this time. However, as long as we can win this decisive battle and defeat the demons, any price is worth paying. I’m not worried about the Southeast Fortress and the Myriad Beast Pass. The key is still the Demon God Emperor. Haochen, are you really confident that you can withstand the Demon God Emperor’s attack?”
Dragon Haochen smiled slightly, but did not answer his grandfather’s question. Was he really confident? Of course he was, but how would he know if he could withstand it before they fought? According to Ye Xiaolei’s analysis of the Demon God Emperor, he had almost no chance. Of course, this was without considering Haoyue. And Haoyue was his biggest trump card. Dragon Haochen would not play this card unless absolutely necessary, because Haoyue’s appearance would surely drive the Demon God Emperor crazy.
“Cai’er, be careful.” Dragon Haochen patted Cai’er’s hand beside him. Cai’er smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.” After saying this, she turned and quietly left.
Wang Yuanyuan said with a wry smile, “If there weren’t so few places, I should be the one to go. I’m such a bad Temple Master of the Warrior Temple.”
Dragon Haochen chuckled and said, “Don’t say that. The final battle will only be here. We have to face the most terrifying power of the demons. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to shine.”
Outside Yulong Pass, the demon camp.
“Your Majesty, the army led by Samigina has arrived at the Southeast Fortress. He launched an attack on the Southeast Fortress as soon as possible.” The Moon Demon God Agares reported the latest news to the Demon God Emperor.
The Demon God Emperor lay on his dragon bed and smiled indifferently, “He’s in a hurry! But it doesn’t matter if the losses are a little bigger.”
Agares naturally understood the Demon God Emperor’s meaning, “Your Majesty, should we also put some pressure on Yulong Pass?”
The Demon God Emperor shook his head, a faint smile on his face, “Not in a hurry. The humans should be the ones in a hurry now. I want to play a game with Dragon Haochen. Only slow conquest is more fun. If I don’t crush his confidence and faith, he won’t submit to me. Humans have accumulated for six thousand years. It’s time to hand over some things. Pass my order to Samigina and Marbas. I don’t care what they do, but they must break into the Temple Federation in the shortest possible time and launch an attack on the Holy City.”
“Yes.”
Agares respectfully agreed and quickly turned and left the tent.
Outside the Demon God Emperor’s tent, Agares frowned slightly, thinking to himself, “This time, the humans probably have no chance at all. What His Majesty is using are all overt plots.”
One day later. Southeast Fortress.
The walls of the entire Southeast Fortress were almost stained with blood of various colors. There were a large number of signs of damage on the city walls. Fortunately, the fortress walls were strong enough, and there was also the protection of magic arrays. The surface was riddled with holes, but the interior was still solid.
The battle had been going on for a day and a night. Samigina mobilized the demon army and launched wave after wave of attacks like a madman, giving the Southeast Fortress no chance to breathe.
Five hundred thousand troops fought in shifts. After the first wave of attacks ended, the second wave immediately rushed up. In one day and one night, apart from being caught off guard at the beginning, causing heavy losses to the Magic Eye Sorcerers and the Berserker Demons, the demons as a whole still occupied an overwhelming advantage. Although they were constantly repelled by the Southeast Fortress, the losses on the Southeast Fortress were also not small, and their resistance seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. If the Knight Legion in the city hadn’t come out to charge a few times, the casualties would probably have been even greater.
However, the demons suffered even greater losses. This siege was not with cannon fodder. All were elites. According to statistics, of the 500,000 demon troops, 60,000 had already perished in the siege. It could be seen how fierce the offensive was. Although the human casualties were not as great as those of the demons, they still accounted for half.
Among them, the Southeast Fortress suffered the most casualties among the Shield Warriors, who had the strongest defense. And in most cases, they died to protect mages, summoners, and priests.
The Shield Warriors guarded the magic-type professionals with their lives and shields. Therefore, until now, some of the eight thousand magic-type professionals were injured, but very few died in battle, less than three hundred. Such a ratio on such a tragic battlefield had to be said to be a miracle!
The mages, summoners, and priests were now red-eyed, fighting desperately. For a day and a night, as magic-type professionals, they had never left the city to rest. It wasn’t that Qiu Yonghao wouldn’t let them, it was that they refused to leave. Watching their one-on-one partners die in battle to protect them, the mages were all red-eyed. At least half of the three hundred or so magic-type professionals who died did so by burning their lives to cast magic beyond their level.
The powerhouses of the six major temples in the entire Southeast Fortress had all gone berserk, and they were constantly repelling the demons’ fierce offensive. They were now even more crazy than the Berserker Demons.
When the battle reached this point, willpower and fighting spirit were often more important than strength. Under the city of the Southeast Fortress, corpses had long been piled up like mountains.
“Damn it, Samigina is simply a madman.” Qiu Yonghao stood tiredly on the city wall and cursed.
A day and a night had passed. It was now noon on the second day, but the demons’ offensive showed no signs of weakening. Moreover, Qiu Yonghao could clearly see that the demon army was already very tired. The demon powerhouses couldn’t even exert eighty percent of their strength. But even so, Samigina still refused to give up and kept directing them to attack the city.
You know, the 500,000 demon troops had not rested since they marched here in a hurry! They had been fighting on the battlefield all the time. No human commander would command his army like this, but Samigina did. And he had successively killed four tribal leaders who raised objections.
Among the demon’s dozen or so demon gods, apart from Jiabo, who fell first, the other demon gods also took turns to fight. Although they were all blocked, they also greatly restrained the power of the Southeast Fortress.
“How long can our layout last?” Qiu Yonghao asked the Eternal Hero, who was shrouded in a cloak beside him. Thick light elements were being injected into Qiu Yonghao’s body from the hands of this Eternal Hero, who was obviously a mage. These Eternal Heroes were all drawn from the Assassin Temple.
“There won’t be any problems within two days. My layout can last for five days at most. Excluding the time for advance preparation, there are at least two days left.”
“Good.” Qiu Yonghao gritted his teeth, “I don’t believe that Samigina can attack for another two days and still not fall for it. Even if I risk my old life, I will definitely hold on until that time.”
The number of soldiers and resources gathered in the Southeast Fortress was quite large. As long as the comparison of powerhouses was not too suppressed by the opponent, this seemingly weakened battlefield would still not collapse.
Samigina’s mood was also a little anxious at this time. A day and a night had passed, and the human resistance was still very tenacious. What surprised him most was not that the six major temples of the Southeast Fortress were fully staffed, but that the Southeast Fortress had five or six more domain-level warrior powerhouses. Especially the one with the artifact-level bow. Because of his threat, the demon gods who rushed up did not dare to use their full strength and were always careful of his attacks.
On the demon side, the morale of the army had already begun to waver. Apart from the 100,000 troops of the demon race, all the other races had taken turns to fight, and all had suffered varying degrees of damage. More importantly, after continuous marching and a day and a night of fighting, the demon army was already very tired. The dissatisfied voices below were getting stronger and stronger, and even the demon gods were looking at Samigina with increasingly unkind eyes. Even a fool could see what Samigina was planning. His demon army had rested beautifully for a day and a night, and their energy and spirit had been raised to the best state. But Samigina just wouldn’t let them set foot on the battlefield, for fear that his direct line would be damaged.
If it weren’t for Samigina and the four demon kings beside him exerting too much pressure, these demon gods would probably have raised different voices long ago.
Patience has its limits. Apart from Samigina, the highest-ranked demon god here was the eleventh pillar. If this continued, Samigina might not be able to control the situation. After all, he had already offended the public.
“Let’s go talk to the Death Spirit Demon God.” A demon god finally couldn’t bear it any longer, stood up abruptly, and of the sixteen demon gods, as many as twelve responded to his call and walked towards Samigina together.
At this moment, Samigina slowly got up from the commander’s seat and said in a deep voice, “Order the front army to retreat. Demon Legion, all attack. This commander will personally go into battle to kill the enemy.” As he spoke, a pair of huge demon wings slowly unfolded behind him. He turned his head and glanced coldly at the dozen or so demon gods who were walking over. Immediately, those demon gods stopped and did not move forward.
The demon army in front retreated like a tide, and the 100,000 demon army slowly advanced forward.
Greater demons above the sixth rank all flapped their wings and flew into the air. Those below the sixth rank were all infantry or cavalry, and they formed a neat formation and slowly approached the Southeast Fortress.
The Death Spirit Demon God Samigina finally used his most powerful direct army, the demon race.
The continuous battle had put enormous pressure on the Southeast Fortress. Although the demons suffered huge losses, so did the Southeast Fortress. The strong were tired, the warriors were reduced, and the mages had consumed too much magic power. It was the weakest time.
