Chapter 803: Sin is in the contemporary era
The invasion of extraterrestrial demons was far more terrifying than imagined... The southern legion composed of humans and monsters only withstood for three days, allowing the rear to clear the country and solid walls before slowly retreating.
Only 80,000 of the 100,000 demon legions were left, and the Nantianmen disciples suffered thousands of casualties... But fortunately, those stubborn demons lurking in the wild forests also recognized the situation and came to surrender one after another.
Faced with a real enemy for a while, people will finally unite after realizing it.
The extraterrestrial demons are more terrifying than imagined... Although they are also mortals and can be killed, they have no fear or thoughts, they only know bloodlust.
The most frightening thing is that they keep coming... they keep coming out and heading towards the exhausted demon and human warriors.
Each of them maintains the strongest physical strength and voracious appetite, wanting to eat everything alive.
"High Priest, Tree God, the wisest choice now is to enter the Great Wall to preserve the vitality of the demon clan... I am afraid that the land of Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom... may not be saved."
Lei Gangfeng, who had been tit-for-tat with the high priest, was on the city wall of Lingnan Pass, looking at the monster soldiers all over the mountains below... watching the thunder rolling in the distance, and the army of extraterrestrial demons that were knocking down the trees in the mountains and forests gradually approaching.
He advised: "If we resist outside the city wall, I'm afraid the whole army will be annihilated..."
The high priest's arms were trembling. If the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters disappeared, what kind of high priest would the high priest be? All her ten thousand years of hard work have turned into a joke.
The young and beautiful priest was also there. She smiled bitterly and said, "High Priest, Lord Thunder Palm is right."
However, the high priest was not entirely focused on this now, but asked: "How is the true form of the tree god?"
Lei Gangfeng shook his head and said: "The old man's true body cannot move. If the extraterrestrial demon breaks through the Fu Lin, the old man will probably be in danger. But the Fu Lin city wall has been connected with the human city wall. We can make up for each other, but the old man is not here after all. So dangerous."
"In other words, once your city wall is breached, he will also be buried with him..."
The high priest's expression was gloomy... After all, this is an unprecedented change. The tree god is the same as her, and she has survived for ten thousand years with her true body. She is also a symbol of the demon clan. If she dies like this, then it will be... Doesn't it mean that the demon clan is dead?
"If you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land. If you save people and lose land, you will gain both people and land."
Lei Gangfeng continued to persuade.
"You humans also know that every inch of land was purchased with flesh and blood by our ancestors. How can we give it away so easily?"
The high priest shook his head and said: "I have worked hard for ten thousand years, how can I let it go like this?"
"You are not letting go, let alone abandoning." Lei Gangfeng said thoughtfully: "But you are saving the people of the demon clan..."
On the battlefield in the distance, the demons from outside the territory are about to arrive in such a storm, and they will be fighting hand to hand within thirty miles. By then, the gate of the human race will be closed, and then you can only watch the demon army bathing in blood on the city wall...
Fortunately, suddenly the cannons on the city wall fired. The cannons were useless in the rugged land of the demon clan. This was one of the reasons why the human race and the demon clan had been in a stalemate for many years. Now they sit and defend the city, and the cannons are invincible.
Hundreds of cannons fired together, announcing that the extraterrestrial demon troops were approaching the city. The allied demon army below the city was also shocked, knowing that those monsters were coming again, but with their backs against the city wall, they never received the order to enter the city to escape. For a time, there was no master, and there was no morale.
"The humans and monsters have been at odds with each other for many years. Will they let us take refuge?"
"Yes, at this juncture, the human race has no time to protect themselves, how can they care about us? Maybe they will sacrifice us."
"Oh, oh, oh, I don't want to die."
"Can you let us enter the city..."
There is a faint hint of mutiny on the side of the demon army.
The cannons bombarded them one after another, causing a lot of casualties to the demons outside the territory, but there were so many of them, they spread out like sea water, and the edge could not be seen at all.
Not just Lingnan Pass, other passes
The same is true for the mouth, which can be described as extremely terrifying.
Just when the people of the Yao clan were exhausted physically and mentally, the imperial edict arrived, and the dragon boat representing the royal family cut through the sky and arrived at the pass.
Someone was singing up there, probably singing about Emperor Wen Hong, and then said: "Emperor Daxia, the emperors of the demon clan have united and have a purpose. The demon emperor said: The demon army disarms and enters the pass. There must be no mistake."
Emperor Xia said: Approved. The Zhennan Army and the Demon Army are ordered to work together, strictly enforce military discipline, and refrain from discrimination and exclusion. I hereby order you to do so. "
Hearing that His Majesty the Demon Emperor seemed to follow the order, the demon tribes were excited for a moment. Being able to enter the city wall naturally gave them a sense of security.
But at this time, the high priest, the actual leader of the demon clan, still frowned and did not issue an order.
"But the high priest of the demon clan?"
At this time, the father-in-law who delivered the order came down and said with a smile: "His Majesty the Demon Emperor wants us to bring something to the High Priest."
The high priest squinted his eyes and said nothing.
Of course, the father-in-law could not be dissatisfied. To be honest, he was still a little disappointed. The high priest from the demon clan said: "His Majesty the Demon Emperor said that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is not a place, but its people. Wherever the people are, it is the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.
This sentence comes from the Nordic fable of demons. "
After the high priest heard this, he fell into silence for a while. Then she waved her hand and her demon power reached the sky: "The demon soldiers obey the order and enter the city! Defend the city!"
Hope finally came, and the gate of Lingnan Pass was opened for the demon clan for the first time - this was a place that the demon clan had only dreamed of entering before. The demon army boasted that they could conquer Lingnan City, but now they can indeed enter the city. But it was in an orderly manner, with no bragging, burning, killing, looting, and even the demon army was a little afraid.
This is a strange place that I have never been to before.
For a moment, the demon army marched in silence.
If the demon clan is like this, of course every human race in Lingnan City is also feeling ill... Although there are also demon clan who want to defect and do business in the city, this is the first time that the army has entered the customs.
There were no children running around on the street, and every house had its doors and windows closed, as if it was in a state of depression.
But it seems that there are many contradictions, but in fact it is not a big problem. After all, Lingnan General Zou Shicheng was the first human general to come to the land of the demon clan to show his goodwill, and he also participated in the coronation ceremony of the demon emperor.
With him mediating, there won't be much of a harmonious problem.
Besides, the Demon King is also a human race, so how can we hope for a fight between the two sides?
However, the demon army was not in the mood to think so much yet. As generals and officers, Meng An and Mou Ke had already received the order and immediately assisted in the defense.
——
There is actually a space rift here among the demons, which is somewhere in the world that connects the demons outside the territory.
In this crack, extraterrestrial demons often appear, and they are all terrifying monsters that can defeat ten thousand people, so the most elite troops of the Knights of the Round Table are deployed here.
It was night, when everything was silent, and from the cracks in space, unlike the huge monsters in the past, there was a tiny shadow falling out of the cracks.
Upon closer inspection, she turned out to be a woman. She was covered in green scales, and the two horns on her head were not those of a demon.
But dragon horns.
Then she got up with difficulty, but fell down due to lack of strength.
"No, I want, I want to go back, I want to tell them...who should I tell? Who will, believe me..."
This woman is Zou Chan, You Chuiyun's first real partner.
After she shed all her dragon transformation, she looked like just a weak woman.
But she is a strong woman, and she proved this a long time ago. She looked at the scar on her wrist where she had been bleeding, then she looked determined, gritted her teeth and got up.
Then she looked at her surroundings and saw that not far away was a brightly lit military camp, and there were also patrols in the military camp.
The other road led to the forest. She hesitated for a moment, then staggered towards the forest.
——
"You know it's the enemy's plan, why do you still do it?
beat? Emperor Wenhong looked at You Chuiyun and said, "You are still fighting for the blood feud from back then."
Within the legion's meeting room, the important figures from all parties looked grim, because Demon Emperor You Chuiyun proposed a seemingly incredible attack strategy.
The Feilong King turned around and said, "If it's just for revenge, you should kill me first."
Yun Qingxia also advised: "You Chuiyun... Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, your idea is totally inappropriate. You also said that Tun Hui wants the two sides to go to war in order to consume the new forces of Tingfeng Realm... If he takes the initiative to start a war, Isn’t it just playing into the opponent’s hands?”
In the scene, the prominent figures basically refuted the strategy proposed by You Chuiyun.
However, those who were interested discovered that Wang Xuanba, one of the two people who could best decide the strategy, did not speak and remained silent.
"Novigrad is in our hands. This is an advantage." You Chuiyun clapped his hands on the sand table: "The whole army crossed the river, set up camp, and continued to siege the city, striving to capture the next city before winter. At this point we This gives us the absolute advantage of advancing to attack and retreating to defend."
"What if we can't capture it? The opponent has sent out all the Knights of the Round Table. Although they are inferior to us in terms of strength, if they charge a few times when we cross the river, they might drown us in the river. "
"I said, with Novigrad in hand, we can cut down trees and build ships, form a naval army, and build a floating iron city."
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor! The point is that we should not engage in internal conflict with the demons! We should return to the old site of the Yinxiao Sect and defend the border."
You Chuiyun knew that this point had to be explained clearly and was inevitable, but he still looked at Wang Xuanba.
But Wang Xuanba kept thinking.
You Chuiyun actually doesn't want to be the leader of this war. Once a war is launched, no matter what the purpose is, there will be no winner. The so-called sin is in the present - but the merit lies in the future.
Besides, Yu Chuiyun wasn't thinking about that merit at all... but about everyone's future.
"The reason is simple..."
As soon as You Chuiyun said the first half of the sentence, Wang Xuanba immediately took up the second half: "If we don't attack, we will be attacked by the demons instead."
