And his “one-on-one, one-to-red” policy was also consistently loved by the mages, and it allowed the mages to quickly integrate into the big family of the Southeast Fortress, becoming one with the warriors.

On the battlefield, mages are the sharpest spears, and the warriors around them are their most solid shields.

Therefore, seeing the Lightning Spears of the Harpies being thrown down, the heavily armored shield warriors immediately defended the entire Southeast Fortress city wall like a tortoise shell.

Hiding behind them, completely shielded by the tower shields, the mages didn’t even see what the Lightning Spears looked like. Those spears had already been bounced away. And, they were bounced directly down the city wall.

The Lightning Spears of the Harpies had a special feature: in the middle and rear sections, there were four small fin stabilizers, which were designed to maintain a forward and downward direction during the throwing process, preventing them from falling sideways. And now, these four small fin stabilizers became the Nightmare of the Berserk Demons.

The Lightning Spears bounced off by the shield warriors naturally didn’t recognize friend or foe. The Berserk Demons had just annihilated all three waves of magical beasts, suffering heavy losses. What awaited them was thousands of Lightning Spears falling from the sky.

This thing came too suddenly.

The Berserk Demons were in a state of frenzy. When they discovered the Lightning Spears falling from the sky, those who had time to deflect them were a little better off. Those who didn’t notice or weren’t focused enough were unlucky.

Out of the five thousand Lightning Spears, at least two-thirds were bounced down the city wall. At least a thousand Berserk Demons were killed or injured by these Lightning Spears. It was a scene of utter misery!

However, the Berserk Demons were, after all, Berserk Demons. Having suffered several heavy blows one after another, with losses already exceeding four thousand, they still fearlessly launched an attack on the Southeast Fortress. Once they reached the city wall, they immediately used the spikes growing out of their arms to pierce into the city wall and climb up rapidly.

Although the city wall of the Southeast Fortress was hard enough, as long as the spikes could get a little leverage, the Berserk Demons could climb up a section. Seeing this, the hundred-meter-high city wall was already densely covered with Berserk Demons. And at this time, the Magic Eye Sorcerers finally arrived at the rear.

There were more than thirteen thousand Magic Eye Sorcerers. Among them were many strong individuals. Although their speed was not as fast as the Berserk Demons, they shouldn’t have been that much slower, after all, they had three legs! But the Magic Eye Sorcerers were not as brainless as the Berserk Demons; they were very cunning. The reason why they didn’t arrive at the battlefield in the first place was to let the Berserk Demons attack first. Once they entangled the human defenders on the city wall, wouldn’t the Magic Eye Sorcerers be safer? They had calculated everything perfectly. Therefore, they arrived at the city wall at this time.

The leader, a powerful Magic Eye Sorcerer with twelve magic eyes on his head, let out a sharp scream. Immediately, all the Magic Eye Sorcerers quickly spread out their formation, with all the magic eyes on their heads targeting the position of the Southeast Fortress city wall.

Their magic eyes could only fire straight rays, and attacking from below the city wall to the top would not be very effective. But the commander of the Magic Eye Sorcerers was very cunning. His purpose was very simple: to directly attack the city wall.

With the salvo attack of more than thirteen thousand Magic Eye Sorcerers, even if the city wall of the Southeast Fortress was a hundred meters thick, it would only take a few concentrated attacks to blast open a gap. And once they lost the protection of the city wall, how could the Southeast Fortress resist the 500,000-strong demon army?

His move was extremely sinister. And, right from the start, the ten magic eyes on the commander’s head were the first to shoot out, leaving a charred mark one meter deep on the city wall. Undoubtedly, this was the target he designated for the other Magic Eye Sorcerers to attack.

If these Magic Eye Sorcerers were really allowed to attack continuously for many times, it would be a considerable blow to the Southeast Fortress. And the Berserk Demons had already begun to climb up the city wall, and the Harpies in the air had also learned their lesson, quickly dispersing their formation and looking for opportunities. How could the Southeast Fortress stop these Magic Eye Sorcerers?

Of course, there was a way. Because the Southeast Fortress was no longer the Warriors’ Temple’s own battlefield, but the battlefield of the Temple Federation!

A shrill whistle suddenly sounded outside the city. Before the Magic Eye Sorcerers could understand what was happening, they saw large numbers of Magic Eye Sorcerers falling down like wheat being harvested.

Figures were emerging from the ground, frantically slaughtering these Magic Eye Sorcerers at close range.

Assassins, they were assassins.

The total number of assassins ambushed outside the city exceeded ten thousand. They had been patiently waiting, letting the Berserk Demons pass by, their target being these Magic Eye Sorcerers, who mainly used magic attacks!

The Magic Eye Sorcerers were tall and had three legs. But they were truly magic-based troops. Close combat was what they were worst at. They never would have thought that the threat wouldn’t come from the Southeast Fortress, but from under their feet. Like the demons’ own Rook Clan Stalkers, they launched a deadly attack on them.

The Magic Eye Sorcerers were definitely being too clever for their own good. If they had been following beside the Berserk Demons, the Berserk Demons could have supported them at this time. But they were completely disconnected from the Berserk Demons, and the location of the attack was still a considerable distance from the city wall. The Berserk Demons were focused on moving forward and didn’t notice the crisis on their side.

Ten thousand assassins! What kind of concept was that? It took the assassins less than three minutes to completely annihilate these thirteen thousand Magic Eye Sorcerers. How could it be otherwise? Magic troops encountering assassins at close range could only result in death, just like a mage with an assassin standing behind them with a dagger.

From afar, the Death Spirit Demon God Samigina wore a look of astonishment on his face. He never dreamed that his 50,000-strong army would be met with such a result. The humans clearly had a premeditated plan! Those assassins were obviously hidden there long ago. Otherwise, how could they have been hidden from them?

Samigina realized that the Southeast Fortress had known of their arrival long ago and had made full preparations. In his opinion, the Southeast Fortress of the Warrior Temple, which could be broken open with only three waves of full-force attacks, had become so strong. And what made him feel the most threatened was the appearance and number of the enemy’s summoners, mages, and assassins.

Weren’t the six major human temples fighting independently? How could there be so many strong individuals from other temples in the Southeast Fortress?

At the same time that the assassins launched their attack, the Berserk Demons attacking the city wall also suffered a catastrophic disaster.

Indeed, some Berserk Demons had rushed up the city wall of the Southeast Fortress, but what awaited them were the sharp blades of knights and warriors. With only this small number, how could they pose a threat to the Southeast Fortress? Even attrition would require time and more numbers.

And at this moment, the city walls of the Southeast Fortress grew thorns.

Earth spikes suddenly rose from the city wall without warning. At this time, the Berserk Demons almost completely covered the city wall of the Southeast Fortress! At least three thousand Berserk Demons were climbing at the same time on such a wide and tall city wall. And in the next instant, all three thousand Berserk Demons were nailed to the city wall.

Five hundred earth-based mages, who had been holding back until now, finally made their move.

When the corpses of the Berserk Demons on the city wall were frantically falling down, causing chaos in the Berserk Demon army, the ten thousand assassins who had just ambushed the Magic Eye Sorcerers also attacked from the rear. Supporting them were exploding fireballs falling from the sky.

Twenty-five thousand Berserk Demons were surrounded under the city wall of the Southeast Fortress. Even Samigina in the distance couldn’t rescue them in time.

Streams of golden light continuously fell from the city wall, shining on the wounded assassins. With the care of the priests, the assassins’ combat power increased exponentially. Their individual strength was already above that of the Berserk Demons, and with the Berserk Demons in disarray, and the support of fire-based mages and priests above, there shouldn’t be any more casualties for the assassins.

The Harpies in the air weren’t stupid either. They didn’t dare to approach the Southeast Fortress again, as that would only make them targets for the mages on the city wall! The remaining six thousand Harpies panicked and retreated, leaving only corpses on the ground outside the city.

Cheers instantly erupted from the Southeast Fortress, like a tsunami of mountains and seas. From Qiu Yonghao to the most ordinary soldiers, the mood and morale were completely ignited at this time.

For so many years of fighting against the demons, the humans had never felt so uplifted. Even with the original strength of the Southeast Fortress, it would never have been breached by these 50,000 demons. But it was impossible to completely withstand this combined air and ground attack without any losses. The combat power of the Berserk Demon Clan and the Harpy Demon Clan was quite remarkable, not to mention the large number of Magic Eye Sorcerers cooperating with them. They could all be considered elites of the demon race.

But this time it was different. With the cooperation of the six major occupations, even without the priests making a move, the battle had already ended. A complete victory.

The Berserk Demons and Magic Eye Sorcerers were completely annihilated, and the Harpies also lost nearly half of their number. Losing so much at once, even Samigina, who commanded an army of 500,000, was getting anxious. This was nearly one-tenth of their strength, and although it wasn’t the main force, it was still a very important part of their forces.

This was the advantage of the six major occupations working together. Multi-occupation cooperation was much more effective than the six major temples fighting alone. The advantage of the newly established Federation was displayed for the first time on the battlefield, which greatly reassured the six major occupation powerhouses in the Southeast Fortress. They were not as strong as the demons in terms of overall strength, but with the cooperation of the six major occupations, it would not be easy for the demons to break through the fortress. Timely intelligence had allowed them to prepare fully.

Samigina’s face turned ashen with anger, and a fierce light burst out in his eyes. “Two-headed Demon Vultures cooperate with the Harpies, Flame Demon Golems, Wolf Demon Clan, and Leopard Demon Clan go into battle. Spore Demons provide support. Earth Ke Clan Invisible Stalkers, use stealth to move out. I want to see how many traps they still have.”
