The white horse flies, time flies, the autumn of the first year of 92019 in the Cangling Continent calendar, the easternmost part of the Longyuan Empire, Shulan City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

City Lord Tang Zhen, black-robed old man Meng Lao, General Lin Kai of the Imperial Capital Support Force, as well as Deputy City Lord Lyle, Wang Kun and Wang Peng brothers, Shirlier and Liu Qingsha and others were all on the wall of the East City Gate.

Half an hour ago, the soldiers in front came to report that the demon army had begun to attack Shulan City!

"Tang City Lord, the cannon fodder troops of this demon clan will be intercepted by the soldiers of Shulan City as best they can, and only when the fourth-level demon beasts join the battlefield, will I give the order to attack. Lin Kai was wearing a heavy armor and holding a heavy hammer in his hand and said in a deep voice, "The main target of the support force is the backbone of the demon clan, so it is necessary to preserve the strength, so it may sacrifice some more ordinary soldiers, and even some low-level awakened generals, this is also a matter of no way, and this is also a kind of experience for my Longyuan Empire army." ”

"General Lin, rest assured, I, the people of Shulan City, do not have soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the task of consuming the living power of the demon clan will be entrusted to them with confidence. Tang Zhen looked at the army marching in the direction of the Dark Forest under the city, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this was the first large-scale war he led since he took over as the city lord, although he knew that this world was a world of survival of the fittest, a world where the strong were respected, but he still hoped to use his own hands to try to protect the peace of the party, which was also one of the reasons why Tang Zhen left his hometown and came to this remote city.

Fifty miles outside Shulan City, on one side is a dense demon clan, a giant toothed jackal, a black needle rat demon and a red fire snake and other various second-level demon beasts black pressing, and in the back is a group of third-level demon beasts, black-scaled demons, Benlei Qingbao and other demon beasts.

On the other side are the soldiers in full formation, the soldiers in Shulan City are mostly second-level awakened, and a small number of them are soldiers who do not have the ability to awaken but are physically strong, after all, the awakened are still a minority, and in this remote city, the main guard force is still ordinary people.

In the Longyuan Empire, a hundred people are a battalion, a thousand people are a regiment, and ten thousand people are an army. And today, there are eight armies guarding outside Shulan City, which is also the largest number of troops that Shulan City can draw.

In the group of demon beasts, a demon beast that looked like a silver wolf roared loudly, it was a fourth-level demon beast, the Silver Moon Demon Wolf.

As the roar of the Silver Moon Demon Wolf sounded, all the demon clans rushed towards the soldiers of Shulan City like a flood. One by one, the demon beasts were desperately killing the human side like the water of the broken embankment, and the battlefield stretched for several miles, although it was only cannon fodder troops, there were hundreds of thousands.

"Crack!" "Boom!" An explosion and scream rang out, and the great war between humans and demons had begun.

In the air, the aura energy of various systems flickered, and various elemental energies flew, although the cultivation methods of the demon clan and humans were different, the cultivation energy was indeed the same.

In the battlefield, flesh and blood flew sideways, stumps and arms were broken, and a warrior stabbed the demon clan's flesh with a weapon while the head was torn apart by another demon beast with his claws. The entire battlefield is like a flesh and blood grinding plate, constantly devouring the lives of humans and demons, and even the sun in the sky seems to be covered with a layer of blood.

The east gate of Shulan City, above the city wall.

"Report, Lord City, more than half of the soldiers of our army have been injured, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on, and I am afraid that there are still 100,000 demon beasts. ”

"Well, I know, you stand down. When Tang Zhen heard the battle report, his brows furrowed, "I didn't expect that there were so many demon beasts, it was 40,000 lives, and it was buried like this." ”

"Tang City Lord doesn't have to sigh, since the war is like this, the top priority is to find a way to solve the remaining 100,000 demon beasts. The black-robed old man Meng Lao said to Tang Zhen, "Are the magic crystal cannons ready?" Meng Lao turned around and asked.

"Lord Hui, the ten magic crystal cannons in our Shulan City have already been placed, and we can destroy them in one fell swoop just by waiting for the demon clan to arrive. The deputy city lord Lyle hurriedly replied.

"Hmm. The black-robed old man Meng Lao glanced sideways at Lyle, then turned around and looked in the direction of the Dark Forest, staring at it.

Half an hour later, the retreating Shulan City soldiers could already be seen about five miles outside the city. The reason why it was a retreat, not a rout, was because the eight commanders of the eight legions joined forces to cast a secret technique, Aetina's Sorrow! This is a secret technique that has been handed down from the Cangling Continent since ancient times at the cost of life force, and Atina is the legendary guardian goddess of the Cangling Continent.

Aetina's sorrow requires five cultivators with five types of aura energy or five elementals with five elemental energies to cast it together. This secret skill will create a shield, which will produce a shield with corresponding energy strength according to the caster's strength, but it is the caster's life force that needs to be consumed to maintain this defensive shield.

Although the requirements for Etina to cast her Sorrowful Cry were very strict, there were exactly five cultivators among the eight military commanders who cultivated different five systems of spiritual energy. There were still twenty or thirty thousand soldiers who had retreated, but most of them were wounded, and they were moving towards Shulan City. And a layer of colorful light shrouded these soldiers, protecting them from the slaughter of demon beasts.

When there were still three miles away from the city gate, the eight military captains could no longer support it.

"Bang!" there was a crisp sound, and the shield shattered.

"Poof, poof. A few muffled sounds of vomiting blood sounded, and the eight military commanders no longer had the strength to stand up, and they were completely dead.

The soldiers of Shulan City had bloodshot eyes and bloodshots, and they were about to turn around and fight with the 100,000 demon beasts behind them, but they themselves knew that they were just burying their lives in vain.

Everyone on the city wall sighed lightly as they looked at the shattered seven-colored light shield in the distance.

"It was forced to such a point, the eight of them were orphans taken in by the previous city lord, and their parents were all killed in the last demon tribulation, I didn't expect them to end up like this. Tang Zhen shook his head and sighed, his fists clenched but helpless, "Old Meng, please save the soldiers under the city." ”

"City Lord, no, let's give the order to open fire, otherwise the demon beast will rush to the city in a while. Hearing that Tang Zhen seemed to be about to send troops to meet the soldiers who had retreated in front, Lyle hurriedly dissuaded.

"It's okay, light yarn, you go. The black-robed old man Meng Lao looked at Tang Zhen and Lyle, and said to Liu Qingsha on the side.

"Yes, sir. Liu Qingsha snorted, and directly cast a fifth-level spell 'Gliding Technique', which fell directly down from the city wall. As we all know, only the ninth-level top powerhouses on the Cangling Continent can fly in the sky, and below the ninth-level, only the wind elementalists can cast wind elemental spells and fly for a short time.
