Hao Yue paced around the bedside for a while, then lay down to the side. Within its closed eyelids, all six eyes of its three heads emanated a faint purple light. However, all its spiritual energy was completely contained within, only Long Haochen could vaguely sense that it was also in a state of cultivation.

It was rare to see a magical beast that could directly cultivate using spiritual energy. Most magical beasts relied on their own natural evolution. However, Long Haochen didn’t have much research in this area, so he didn’t find it strange.

Just as Long Haochen had entered a meditative state, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, followed by a series of “bang, bang, bang” knocking on the door.

“Is Long Haochen here? The military has ordered you to report immediately!” a loud voice rang out, waking everyone who had just entered a meditative state.

Long Haochen frowned and jumped out of bed, putting on his military uniform. Everyone’s eyes turned to him. Long Haochen made a gesture for everyone to stay calm, walked over, and opened the barrack door.

A soldier in full armor stood at the door. He looked to be in his twenties, with a serious expression.

“Hello, I am Long Haochen.”

Looking at the young man before him, the armored soldier was slightly stunned. Especially Long Haochen’s handsome appearance gave him a feeling of amazement. He saluted Long Haochen, “Please come with me, the military has ordered you to report immediately.”

“Okay.” Although Long Haochen didn’t know what it was about, he returned the salute.

“I’ll go with you,” Cai’er said, having come to Long Haochen’s side at some point.

Long Haochen smiled slightly and said, “It’s okay, you should go rest. I estimate I’ll be back in a while.” With that, he turned around and left with the soldier.

Cai’er stood there, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, until Long Haochen’s footsteps could no longer be heard. Only then did she close the barrack door.

Sima Xian sat on his bunk and muttered, “The military is calling people this late, they have no humanity.”

Lin Xin laughed and said, “Maybe they’re commending us for our performance today.”

Under the soldier’s lead, Long Haochen once again ascended the city walls. A thick, murderous aura mixed with the smell of blood rushed towards him, clearly indicating that the battle on the city had become even more intense in the time they had been gone.

The soldier didn’t take him to the front lines of the city. After reaching the city walls, he entered a three-meter-high doorway behind the wall, and went up the stairs. He stepped onto the second floor of the city tower.

Before even reaching the city tower, Long Haochen could clearly feel the massive magical elements frantically pulsating. These magical elements had various attributes, but they were all extremely violent.

Stepping into the city tower, Long Haochen was immediately faced with a shocking scene. First, he saw thousands of mages. One magical attack after another was continuously released from the forefront, followed by the mages in the back. Ten groups of mages constantly cycled through releasing spells. In front, there were also a large number of priests and guardian knights.

Looking into the distance, he could see a huge barrier shimmering with golden light that had somehow enveloped the Demon Hunt Pass city walls. No enemies were able to climb the walls anymore. However, the demon army outside swept in like a storm, even the sky was filled with dark masses of enemies.

Violent rumbling sounds continued to erupt, and huge golden light orbs were fired madly from below the city tower, constantly blasting huge gaps in the demon army.

It was too shocking. Long Haochen was speechless for a moment. Whether it was a demon or a human, how insignificant they were on such a battlefield!

The soldier led Long Haochen to the center of the city tower’s front, and Long Haochen immediately saw Shen Lingxin standing there, issuing command after command.

Shen Lingxin’s expression was solemn, with cold lights flashing in his eyes. Even though he was more than ten meters away, Long Haochen could feel the overwhelming killing intent on his body.

Beside him, there were at least dozens of generals, each of whom exuded a powerful aura. They were far beyond what the fifth-stage, first-level Long Haochen could compare to.

“Reporting! Long Haochen has arrived!” The soldier who brought Long Haochen shouted these simple words almost at the top of his lungs. The roar here was simply too loud; without doing so, he would hardly be able to hear himself.

Shen Lingxin glanced at Long Haochen, and pointed to his side. But he didn’t pause at all in issuing commands.

Long Haochen walked to his side and stood still. He saluted Shen Lingxin.

Shen Lingxin didn’t even look at him, and continued directing the defense of the city.

“Have the Sky Knight Legion retreat for rest. Summoners, collectively summon flying magical beasts to hold them off for a while.”

“Report, Commander, the Glorious Angel Knight Legion is ready.”

“Report, the Dark Night Assassins are ready.”

Shen Lingxin’s eyes lit up. He turned to a nearby general and said in a deep voice, “Take my place and provide cover. These demon whelps won’t give up unless we inflict heavy damage on them.”

“Commander, are you going in person?” The general looked at Shen Lingxin in surprise.

Shen Lingxin nodded, and said, “As a commander, how can I inspire the troops without leading from the front? Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

“Lan Yanyu.” Shen Lingxin shouted loudly.

“Your subordinate is here.” Lan Yanyu, wearing a blue magic robe, strode over from not far away.

Seeing her, Long Haochen couldn’t help but feel a shock. This was Cai’er’s mother! However, Long Haochen couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed, slightly bowing and giving her a salute, remembering the scene of Lan Yanyu seeing him and Cai’er in bed.

Lan Yanyu didn’t even look at Long Haochen, but looked at Shen Lingxin with some worry.

Shen Lingxin said in a deep voice, “I will lead the Glorious Angels and the Dark Night Assassins to charge in for a while. After we charge out, the mage legions will no longer conserve their magic, covering our flanks, and the magic artillery will cover the air. At the same time, send someone to invite Gao Dage and the others to be ready to support us at any time.”

“Yes.” Lan Yanyu paused and slightly bowed, giving a mage salute.

Shen Lingxin turned back to look at Long Haochen, “Come with me.” His voice was cold, but exceptionally clear. It sounded like swallowing a piece of ice in the summer. Although it was a little cold, it could inspire fighting spirit and make one’s mind particularly clear.

After only giving these words, Shen Lingxin turned around and strode away. No soldiers followed him.

Although Long Haochen didn’t know why Shen Lingxin would suddenly call him over, Shen Lingxin was the highest military commander of the Demon Hunt Pass. How could Long Haochen disobey the orders he issued? He quickly followed.

Previously, Long Haochen had ascended the city walls of the Demon Hunt Pass from the side, but at this time, Shen Lingxin was leading him down towards the center of the Demon Hunt Pass.

Going down from here was a large open area, specifically used to concentrate troops.

It was already late at night, and there was no moon tonight. Only the magic lights that occasionally lit up in the air brought some light to the city.

With the help of that meager light, Long Haochen vaguely saw that there seemed to be large patches of metallic luster shining on the open ground below.

Shen Lingxin’s movements didn’t seem fast, but Long Haochen needed to run to keep up with him. He noticed that Shen Lingxin’s strides were very long, and his whole body seemed to be gliding close to the ground.

After descending the city tower, Long Haochen concentrated spiritual energy on his eyes, and immediately gasped.

Under the stimulation of spiritual energy, his eyes felt a little cool, and his vision became particularly clear. Only then did he see what the metallic luster that had been reflected by the magic light was.

Sturdy warhorses were draped in heavy black armor that almost completely covered their bodies. These warhorses were too strong and tall. Their height was close to one zhang (approximately 10 feet or 3 meters), and their length was more than one zhang and five chi (approximately 15 feet or 4.5 meters). It was the first time Long Haochen had seen such sturdy warhorses.

The knights riding on the horses were equally strong. Under visual estimation, each of them was at least two meters tall (approximately 6.6 feet), also wearing a full set of black heavy armor. The leg armor seemed to be connected to the armor on the warhorses, making the horse and rider one unit.

The most unique thing was that each of these tall knights had two huge wings erected in the sky behind them. The length of a single wing was about three meters (approximately 10 feet). They seemed to be entirely made of metal, connected to the armor on the knights’ backs and erected towards the sky, like two heavy knives pointing straight at the sky.

Each knight held a heavy knife nearly one zhang long (approximately 10 feet or 3 meters). The hilt accounted for one-third of the entire knife, the blade was one chi wide (approximately 1 foot or 0.3 meters), and extended forward, with three shuttle-shaped blood grooves on each side. A faint red light was visible on the smooth and sharp edges of the blade.

At this time, a large number of infantry were moving ladders away from these warhorses. Obviously, equipping such knights required the joint effort of many logistics personnel.

The night was very dark, and Long Haochen couldn’t see how many knights there were, but he vaguely saw that, in addition to the strong knights on those warhorses, there seemed to be another person sitting behind them. But compared to the knight, the figure was much smaller, almost completely obscured by the knight’s strong body.

Shen Lingxin led Long Haochen to the front of the team and stood still. He raised his right hand, and immediately, a golden light rose into the sky, bringing a ray of light to the darkness.

Immediately, the knights who had been making slight noises quieted down quickly, and the warhorses were arranged in an orderly manner. Because he was standing on the ground and his vision was blocked, Long Haochen still couldn’t see how many people there were in total.

“Warriors of the Glorious Angels and the Dark Night Assassins, the brutal demon whelps are attacking our Demon Hunt Pass. For thousands of years, we have never let our home fall into enemy hands. This commander will be your vanguard, cutting a path of blood straight to the enemy’s head.”

“Boom, boom, boom——”

Three metallic booming sounds rang out at the same time. No knight spoke; they all used their heavy knives to strike their solid and heavy chest armor.
