The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the border county of the Kingdom of Harmen, which had been bathed in sunlight for months, was in a dull darkness.

Of course, it was not just the gloomy atmosphere that made the professionally trained soldiers on the city walls feel pressure in their hearts.

On this day of change, after the beacon fire was raised at the outpost on the outskirts of the city, the soldiers did not see their companions, who were supposed to gallop back on horseback, but heard the sound of buildings collapsing and black smoke diluting and bending upwards in the distance.

As early as a week ago, the city of Augusto was put on alert, and the soldiers were ordered to be ready for battle at all times.

At the same time, reinforcements from all over the county have come to this checkpoint city.

When they first received this order, everyone thought that the Ris Alliance was going to send troops to attack the Begret Empire and assemble, but the experience of previous years told them that in such a doomed and fruitless crusade, the people of the Harmen Kingdom were only responsible for logistics and other work. Even on the front line, there will be no clashes of too much magnitude.

But this time there seemed to be something wrong, and this error only gradually spread after receiving the order to strengthen the city's defenses.

It only takes a day or two for one person to guess, one team to suspect, one army to feel bad, and then the whole city to become uneasy.

It wasn't until the day before yesterday that the military's top brass revealed the accurate news to insiders: something had happened in the Magic Mountain Range.

In just one sentence, I don't know how much of a stir it caused in that meeting.

But at the same time, the high-level also asked everyone to keep their mouths shut to the outside world to ensure that the people inside escaped from the city before being attacked by the demons, causing unnecessary sacrifices.

But even if they knew the news that the Origin Demon Clan was going to attack in advance, the people on the city wall were still speechless and nervous when they really had to face it.

After all, the opponent was a legendary race that could compete with the Immortal Emperor back then, and this alone was not a realm that ordinary people could reach.

But they all stayed, choosing to stay and protect the city.

Not only are there their relatives inside, it is a place for them to rely on, but more importantly, the arrival of a person has aroused their confidence and made them see hope.

It's like seeing a ray of light in the infinite darkness, and the belief in living unconsciously rises in my heart.

That person was a Divine Servant, claiming to be a Divine Servant from the Demon Hunting Society.

The power of the Demon Hunting Society in Harmen is far less powerful than that of Begret, and the number of Divine Favors is even less than a fraction of that of Begret's Demon Hunting Society.

But isn't it the will of God to be able to get the support of God's favor in this time of crisis?

After all, it represents the top level of human combat power, and I heard that this person is the mysterious person who saved the royal capital from the Soul Forsaken disaster decades ago.

Maybe it does!

The warriors all thought in their hearts - if they could protect the royal capital of Harmen in the past, then they will definitely be able to protect our city now!

The middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in the city of Augusto, holding a box with a box on the top, instantly became the spiritual pillar of everyone, helping them gain the courage to stand on the city wall.

"You can't lose!! a soldier trembled all over, his teeth chattered sharply, and the spear in his hand drew circles in place.

But he, like the others standing here, didn't choose to run away.

The surrounding soldiers all stared straight ahead, as if they were trying their best to catch the first movement of the enemy.

They may still have a trace of luck in their hearts, hoping that no one will appear in the distance, and they will not break the peaceful life of these years.

The scouts who did not survive said that the small towns in the northern part of Oguto County had become lifeless, showing no signs of life, and not even a single of the refugees who had escaped.

There is no doubt that this is the purpose of the Origin Demon Race, a person who will slaughter humans without leaving any stone and drag the world into the abyss of chaos again.

As the closest county town of the Harmen Kingdom to the Demon Mountain Range, and the first barrier outside the royal capital, the county town of Oguto will naturally be regarded as the first target by the enemy.

In fact, according to the Scout's report, the direction of the Origin Demon Clan's march can almost be concluded to be coming here.

Then the day will come sooner or later, and before that is to do so is not to flee for what may be only a few months of life, but to build the first line of defense for humanity.

Only with such an awareness will you be favored by the Emperor of Eternal Life, be blessed, and once again overcome the difficulty of the Origin Demon Race.

After receiving the alarm from the outpost, Andrew, the "Divine Favorite", also climbed the city wall for the first time and looked at the sky in the distance with a solemn expression.

"It's here after all. ”

Andre said to himself: Why did they step out of the Magic Mountain Range at this time? What was it that caught their attention?

So far, there are only two possible guesses he can make:

First, they simply think that their own strength can conquer the weaker West in a short period of time, and then confront the powerful forces of the East.

But this idea had been abandoned by him, because as the inheritor of Demon Suppression Kyushu, he knew very well how cautious the leader of the other party, the person known as the [Demon Emperor], was.

If it hadn't been for the surprise blurted out by Yuren that night, Andre would have felt that the Origin Demon Clan was blindly confident before stepping out of the Demon Movement Mountain Range. After all, the history of the Origin Demon Clan is a hundred years earlier than that of Demon Suppression Kyushu, and it is possible to act rashly if you don't know that there are Demon Suppressors in various places.

However, the other party obviously knew the existence of the demon suppressor, and he could even identify what the demon suppression weapon in his hand was.

It is clear that they have not given up on exploring the outside world during these hundreds of years, and they understand most of the hole cards in the hands of humans.

But even if the Origin Demon Clan knew about Demon Suppression Kyushu, what then? Andre still didn't believe that they had the means to defeat the three Demon Suppressors around him in a short period of time.

After all, the strength of the Origin Demon Race was weakened by the Emperor of Eternal Life and the Great Magician in one breath hundreds of years ago, and the few remaining Dharma Protectors and Demon Emperors combined may be able to barely defeat the Punisher.

And the power of the Demon Suppressor is not much worse than that of the Punisher.

But it is because of this that Andre extended the second conjecture.

At such a moment when the Eastern Punisher and the Great Magician were reincarnated and fought fiercely, it should also be done for the sake of prudence, taking advantage of the smallest power of the human race.

And as I thought before, the Origin Demon Clan does not have the strength to conquer the world alone.

Is it possible that there was some kind of support that led to the decision to attack humanity?

Or maybe it's something new?

I heard that if it weren't for the alliance who killed the Demon Emperor because of the Knight [Demon] of McMurray, a demon who could control monsters, the battle between the Emperor of Immortality and them might have ended in the defeat of the human race before the Great Magician appeared.

Could it be that such a race, which Andre subconsciously thought was impossible to move forward, had gained new strength?

Knowing that there is a demon suppression Kyushu, he will still dispatch, undoubtedly confident that he has the hole cards that can defeat the demon suppression Kyushu.

That's why Andre hurriedly asked for support from other forces around him, and decided to put aside his secret body and fight side by side with ordinary people.

It also eased his anxiety to some extent.

It's just that why has it been so long that the army of the demon clan still hasn't appeared in sight?

Andre found that after recalling it all, the expected murderous army still did not appear, and the plain was only swept away.

What's going on?

The Demon Suppressor, who realized that something was wrong, frowned slightly.

Outside the city of Augusto, there is a small forest.

On a rocky vantage point, two people stood side by side, looking together at the county town that was on alert a few kilometers away.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the Demon Emperor who has ruled the Origin Demon Clan for hundreds of years, and he is indeed beyond his reach in terms of playing conspiracy. ”

The younger one looked at the distant scene with interest.

"[Tianyin] Lord praised it falsely. ”

The middle-aged man's pupils were red, and the depths that could not be peeked into seemed to hide the killing intent that had been suppressed for many years.

Oh, even if these bastards have sanity, they are still beasts at heart.

The young man turned his head away from letting him see the disdain that flashed in his eyes, and continued: "As a checkpoint city, they are also willing to invest this level of troops. ”

"With the information given by that lord, this Aguto City is not only a county-level city, but also the first checkpoint of the royal capital of Harmen, so it will naturally attract everyone's attention. ”

Ignoring the young man's contempt for himself and his race, the Demon Emperor said earnestly:

"With enough troops, it is very difficult to break through head-on and take the city. The fundamental reason is that the number of our clan is too low, and the loss of any one of them is a great loss of combat power. ”

He shifted his gaze to the west: "What's more, our goal is not to attack the royal capital as those stupid humans think, but to simply push over there. ”

The young man known as [Tianyin] nodded and said, "Although it is said to be a tribe with limited strength, it may be able to assist Lord Poison Dragon in terms of strategy." ”

The Demon Emperor's eyelids jumped slightly, but he quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction.

When he didn't know the situation before, he might have refuted such an offensive statement, but after he was the only one who was told the truth, he began to fear from the bottom of his heart - even the group of people.

No matter how you look at it, you won't be their opponent.

As I overheard before, I am nothing more than a slave who is not worthy of it.

"Nearly half of the forces in the area are now assembled in the city of Aguto, but there are only about 15,000, and most of them are temporary soldiers. ”

According to intelligence, the regular army of the Kingdom of Harmen was only about 50,000, and 40,000 of them were assembled in the royal capital of Nanmiris.

Aside from the losses before entering the city, in fact, there is nothing to lose by going head-to-head with such a ragtag army.

It is even possible that just a casual display of the power of being a demon will cause this group of improvised soldiers to collapse.

The only problem was the news I got on the first day that the Doomsday Thunderbox, one of the Demon Suppression Kyushu, appeared near here.

After deliberately giving such an obvious route to march, it is believed that the most dangerous demon suppressor will also help the humans defend the city on the city wall.

The reason for the outpost to be destroyed was to determine if the city had assembled an army to look at.

Obviously, judging from the current dynamics on the city wall, the goal of the first step has been achieved.

The next thing to decide is to attack or circumvent.

If there were no Doomsday Thunderbox, the Demon Emperor might have ordered an attack on the city.

Although there will be some costs to be paid accordingly, the results will be very substantial.

Not only can it wipe out a large number of human armies, but it can also make Nanmiris even more panicked, gathering all his forces in a small area.

In this way, even if you want to push all the way out of the territory of Harmen, it will be very easy.

And if you choose to bypass it now, at most, the small city will have a thin army within this half of the distance, and the periphery still needs to rely on strength to shake it through.

Moreover, if you want to implement such a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain, it will not work for the second time.

What's next?
