Chapter 301: Relief from Difficulties
After sending out that supreme blow, the Heavenly Shooting Immortal Array returned to its original state, and the 108 immortal stones also fell to the ground, losing their original treasure light and becoming plain, no different from ordinary stones.
Zhan Chen looked at the tragic situation in front of him in shock, half of the entire City Lord's Mansion was almost gone, and when he looked out from the huge gap, he saw that the entire square, including the streets in the distance, had disappeared, and was replaced by a huge arc-shaped pit that stretched into the distance......
Zhao Xun, the three demon beasts, the army of the demon clan, including the houses along the street, everything disappeared without a trace, turning into smoke and dust.
Looking at this scene, Ma Mingyuan knelt directly on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and there were faint tears in the eyes of the other soldiers - it was Zhao Xun who sacrificed himself to save everyone.
After a while, Ma Mingyuan stood up and shouted an order to everyone: "Soldiers, the city lord is high-spirited and bright, and he is not compassionate, as my generation should inherit his will to continue to defend Qingxu Jade City, I order, you will kill with me and clean up the remnants of the demon clan!"
"Obey!" everyone shouted, and the crowd was excited, so Zhan Chen went out with everyone.
At this time, although the demon beasts outside still had an absolute advantage, but without the leadership of the demon marshal, they all panicked one by one and became a plate of scattered sand, and the Daning Kingdom and the sectarian alliance were eager for revenge at this time, and they were united, and the result was quickly divided, and millions of demon beasts were killed and fled, and finally successfully evacuated at the painful price of leaving more than one million corpses.
Shifting his gaze to the demon beast camp under the Qingxu Jade Peak, the Daning National Army in the Qingxu Jade City probably would never have thought of what kind of shock the powerful power of the Heavenly Shooting Immortal Array had brought to the demon beasts under the mountain.
At that time, the three big demons of Bi Xiangmei, Xiong Ba and Tiger Mania were still disappointed in the vulnerability of the human race. It seemed to them that the humans could at least give them a strong competitor, and even if they couldn't, even if they held on for a little longer, they would be able to weaken the strength of the Swift Shadow King Leopard, the Heavenly Eagle, and the Earth-Shaking Madness Three Demon Clans.
How do you know that the human race is so weak, and within two clicks, a battle report came from the front, saying that the Qingxu Jade City had been broken, and the three demon marshals drove straight in with the tribal chief, and they were about to kill all the humans in the city.
The disappointment of the three demon kings was indescribable, just as they were about to take their subordinates to the mountain to visit this important town in the western part of the human race, a powerful beam of light shot out from the city, reaching the sky, and I don't know how many hundred miles it was long!
Almost all the demon beasts who participated in the siege of the city saw this situation, and for a time there was a huge commotion within the demon army, and they didn't know what was going on with their cognition, and they thought that the heavens had sent gods to punish them.
Even the demon commanders were very panicked, and they came to see Bi Xiangmei, hoping to get her guidance, because this is where she is the most knowledgeable.
Xiong Ba was also very scared, and asked weakly: "Eldest sister, what happened? That beam of light just now is so terrifying!"
Bi Xiangmei did not panic like the other demon beasts, but she also fell into deep thought, and after a while, she raised her head and said solemnly: "It seems that my previous guess is correct, the human race is indeed still hiding a killer weapon in that city, just waiting to lure us big demons forward, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop." β
Several demon handsomes were even more frightened when they heard her words, and they all shouted: "Then eldest sister, what should we do?
"Retreat?" Bi Xiangmei gritted her silver teeth and said, "If we retreat now, won't it be cheaper for those Terrans?
"So what are we going to do, we can't go up and die?"
"What should we do? It's very simple, we have to continue to send troops to attack them, because our demon clan has an absolute numerical advantage, even if the human race has such a powerful hole card, but I believe it is impossible to use it infinitely, as long as we continue to send a large army to attack them, they will not be able to support them sooner or later, you are afraid that your life will not be guaranteed, as long as you don't go up, no?"
"What the eldest sister said is, let's arrange it!" A group of cowardly demon commanders heard that they didn't have to risk their lives, and they were all very excited, if it was just a soldier who wanted to charge into battle, they had it underneath.
However, none of them could guess that in fact, the Heaven Shooting Immortal Array in Qingxu Jade City could only be launched once, because on this Beihai Continent, immortal stones were rare and valuable and unmarketable, and the 108 immortal stones were also specially left by the First Emperor of Daning Kingdom for use in case of contingency, and there was not even an extra piece.
In the next few days, the demon army continued to invade Qingxu Jade City, and at this time, the city wall had already existed in name only under the destruction of the earth-shaking madness and the Shooting Heaven Immortal Array. Zhan Chen and the rest of the defenders of the city only used their flesh and blood to build a great wall of blood, and every day he fought from morning to evening, fighting until his whole body was soaked in blood, and he felt numb when he swung his sword.
Zhan Chen estimated that in the past few days, the number of times he swung his sword was probably much more than the number of times he swung his sword from birth to before this battle.
They continued to insist like this, fortunately, there was no seventh-order demon to attack again, otherwise this city would definitely be lost.
At noon on this day, Zhan Chen was resting with Ma Mingyuan and others, originally with his identity, he had no chance to contact the deputy city lord, but these days, there are fewer and fewer people who can stand up again, there are less than 10,000 people left, and there are 9,000 people in the city who are reservists in the city. That is to say, almost all of the original garrison was killed!
There are only so many people left, so Ma Mingyuan doesn't talk about any status, let everyone gather together to rest, and it is easy to talk.
At this time, everyone's faces were full of exhaustion, because they had just repelled another round of demon beast attacks. However, the burnout in the heart is more terrible than the exhaustion in the body, and no one can guarantee that they will survive the next battle.
There was a dead silence in the whole army, and at this moment, a guard suddenly ran from a distance, and called out as he ran: "Deputy City Lord Ma! We are saved, we are saved!"
Everyone's sluggish spirit seemed to be awakened by this sudden cry, and they couldn't help but stand up.
Ma Mingyuan even asked, "Tell me quickly, what is the good news?"
The guard said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally returned with a large group of men!"
"What are you talking about!" everyone cheered.
"Yes, I saw the banner of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the watchtower, and they are rushing towards us!"
"It's wonderful!" everyone cheered, and at last they were waiting for reinforcements, and this time they didn't have to die.
And the demon clan camp under the mountain obviously also knew the news that Ning Qi rushed back, Bi Xiangmei sat in the carriage and her face changed, Ning Qi's army rushed back, they had no hope of taking Qingxu Jade City, and there was still that deadly weapon in the city, and they didn't dare to attack it.
At this time, Xiong Ba and Tiger Maniac on the side were urging again: "Sister, what should we do?
"What a quarrel, two fools!" Bi Xiangmei shouted angrily, silent for a while, and finally said: "I think we should retreat, we have been attacking the city again and again, and our tribes have suffered heavy losses, and besides, haven't we achieved the purpose of launching the beast tide this time? β
After she said this, several demon marshals nodded, it is true, at first they launched an attack on the human race, just to retaliate for the human race over the years of killing their demon clan and trampling on their homeland, and they did not think about attacking any Qingxu Jade City.
It was only later that they progressed too smoothly, occupying more and more territory, and their ambitions were getting bigger and bigger, that they thought of attacking the headquarters of the human race. As a result, this time it hit a nail, and countless demon clans were buried on the Qingxu Jade Peak, and now in retrospect, it is really not worth it.
At this time, I heard Bi Xiangmei say: "Everyone, I am just making a suggestion, if there are people who disagree, they can express their opinions." β
That group of demon marshals, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all said in unison: "Just do what the eldest sister said, we agree to withdraw from the army!"
Bi Xiangmei nodded and said, "Okay, everyone go back to arrange, and in an hour, we will start to withdraw our troops!"
An hour later, the demon army finally began to retreat towards the Ganxi Mountain Range, and it only took two hours, and there was no longer a living demon clan under the Qingxu Jade Peak, and instead there were endless forest beast bones, which were all traces left by the demon beasts after they gnawed away the corpses of their companions.
Yes, in the demon clan is such a world where the weak flesh is strong, the weak demon beasts can only be reduced to the food of the powerful demon beasts, and the powerful demon beasts become stronger by eating the flesh and blood of the weak demon beasts and the demon pill, they are strong, in order to survive, even the corpses of their comrades will not be wasted.
This eternal system is based on the strong reproductive ability of those weak demon clans, and it runs endlessly.
Qingxu Jade City, on the watchtower, Ma Mingyuan and the others saw that the demon clan army below began to evacuate one after another, and only then did they breathe a long sigh of relief, and finally confirmed that they were completely safe.
At this moment, the spies hurriedly came to report: "Report - Deputy City Lord Ma, His Royal Highness the Prince's army has arrived!"
Ma Mingyuan turned his head and said, "Okay, you tell everyone to quickly prepare to go out of the city to greet you!"
"Yes," the soldier went down to deliver the order
Soon after, the gate of the west city of Qingxu Jade City was opened, and Ma Mingyuan personally led the remaining thousands of soldiers out of the city to greet him. After a while, Ning Qi rode a tall war horse, led the army, and appeared in their field of vision.
When they approached, Ma Mingyuan led a group of people to kneel down immediately, shouting: "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Ning Qi hurriedly jumped off the horse, personally helped him up, and said, "Deputy City Lord Ma, please get up quickly!"
Ma Mingyuan got up at this time, his eyes showed sadness, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we have failed your trust and failed to guard this city well, and now that the City Lord of Zhao has died, all of us are here, please punish you!"
Ning Qi said ashamedly: "I know everything, it is not your fault, but my gross negligence, and all of you who participated in the defense of Qingxu Jade City are heroes! β
Ma Mingyuan said again: "But the city has been destroyed, and in order to keep this city, we still automatically use the Heavenly Immortal Arrayββ"
"Okay, Deputy City Lord Ma, you don't need to say it, everything has me, believe that after that, I can let Qingxu Jade City stand on the top of this western region again!" Ning Qi was still full of confidence when he said this.
