Chapter 368: Demon Invasion
In the middle of the night, the palace was still very quiet for a while, but it was still the same around the palace, and most of the heroes and even Li Xingze and others were already asleep, and outside the eastern city, there was a demonic aura slowly permeating.
In this world, it is not strange to say that a few miles away from the gate of the eastern city of Middle-earth, there is a huge and pitch-black figure slowly approaching the gate of the city at this moment.
At the same time, in the dark demonic qi mass in the sky above, there were also many demonic dependents quietly gathering. It's preparing to invade here.
In that demonic aura, there is also another huge figure, its arms are unusually thick, like two thick iron pillars, its body is looming, its real body, even not long ago at the end of a valley in the Tianshan Mountains, Hercules Ghost King, who was once hit hard, that guy was seriously injured that day, pretending to be unable to fight, in fact, he was only secretly healing wounds with magic power in the rubble pile, just because the sword slash received was blessed with the power of the divine curse, and the wound recovery speed was extremely slow.
Therefore, while he was recuperating, the Vientiane Demon blew himself up, and then the people also left.
If you chase it out before the injury is healed, it will be more than lucky, so the Hercules Ghost King did not appear in front of those people.
If this incident of the day is rumored, then the people in the rivers and lakes will say that the Hercules ghost king is just a gutless rat, his friends were killed, and he did not dare to take revenge, and he picked up a life by pretending to be dead, then he would be swept away with majesty in the future, and he would not be able to gain a foothold in this world, and even if he could gain a foothold, he would become a laughing stock.
Thinking of these Hercules ghost kings, he is not in a good mood, and recently he has been affected by the plan made by the goddess of destruction, planning to wipe out all the human forces in this eastern city tonight, and has received intelligence news, and the masters of all major sects seem to be gathered in this eastern city, and the disgraceful matter of the other Hercules ghost king does not seem to have been exposed.
In this case, it is even more necessary to start with the gun first, and cut off the lives of those people as soon as possible, so as not to spread them out, and in addition, including the people from the Wudang faction who gathered in the Wudang faction that day, those guys naturally have to give priority to the end, so as not to leave trouble.
"The demons will obey the order, and after the Devouring Heaven and Earth Demon invaded from the gate of Dongcheng, the human beings began to commotion, causing a riot, we attacked the center of the Dongcheng from above, and annihilated such stupid human beings in one fell swoop, especially those who had a few sects and factions, and the guys who helped on Wudang Mountain that day, took this Dongcheng, and then invaded this country, this is the biggest obstacle for our demons, destroying here, in the future, it will be difficult for human forces to rise again, and the world is ours." Hercules said
All the demon dependents nodded when they heard this, and secretly waited in this demonic aura, the huge black figure that was approaching the east city from outside the east city gate, devouring the heaven and earth demons.
……

After a while, the huge body of the Devouring Heaven and Earth Demon and the way it walked like a snail, its feet could not be seen, and its movement was like flowing water, but the speed was not very fast, so it took a short time to count the miles.
Then they finally arrived at the gate of the city.
The night guards saw the uninvited guest who had come to the city gate, his body was pitch black, his eyes were big, his eyebrows were big, and his mouth was large, and he looked like a mollusc-like big thing, and the few experienced guards understood that this was one of the great demon generals who had been wandering around Middle-earth in recent days, devouring the demons of heaven and earth.
The creature's mouth is rumored to be able to swallow everything that stands in its way and shatter it.
With such a guy arriving late at night, I'm afraid there will be no peace in Dongcheng tonight.
"That guy should be the Devouring Heaven and Earth Demon, the guards are going to give the order, all of them are in a state of battle, and they will use the drum and horn to inform the people of the whole city of Dongcheng, as well as the prince's side, that the Devouring Heaven and Earth Demon has come to the gate of Dongcheng!" At this time, a veteran guard at the lookout above the gate of the East City said
"What, that's the Devouring Heaven and Earth Demon, it's coming, ......?!" The rest of the soldiers were a little flustered when they saw the veteran say this, the rumored Great Demon was actually going to invade Middle-earth.
"What are you still stunned about, raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, although our Middle-earth country is huge, there are few demons and armies who dare to invade recently, we are numerous, weapons are complete, people are strong and strong, I am afraid of what he will do! Go and give the order!! The veteran shouted at this point
The current situation is indeed not good, the rumors of the Devouring Heaven and Earth Demon are not unheard, if it is to make it in the center of the East City, the entire town will be destroyed by it, and before that, for the sake of the people of the land, they must find a way to stop that guy.
"Hurry up and communicate! Blow the drum and trumpet, stop that guy in the city first, the physical attack is difficult to work, pour oil into the moat, and attack with rockets! Immediately, the commander on the other side noticed the situation and spoke
"Understood! All the soldiers are in position! The squad leader next to him shouted loudly when he heard this
The next row of soldiers immediately prepared bows and arrows, and the front row took out oil drums for a few days and began to pour oil and water into the moat in front of the city gate.
"Shoot the arrow!!" Commanding the troops on the side
As he spoke, the first row of archers on the city wall all fired their ignited rockets and shot at the huge target in front of them, and many rockets shot at the Devouring Demon like a starfire, hitting its body one after another, but those arrows were only piercing the Devourer's pitch-black skin, and did not penetrate into it, obviously not powerful enough, those arrow strikes were like tickling for the Devourer, and it directly ignored and continued to get closer.
As they moved, the arrows broke or fell.
"It doesn't work?!" The soldier panicked
"Keep put! Don't stop! He's a big demon general, even if he stops for a second longer, we have to buy time here! Defend the homeland! "Command the troops
Under the words, the archers continued to shoot at the Devouring Heaven and Earth Demon under the city that was about to invade slowly.
Gradually devouring the heaven and earth demon has stepped into the moat under the movement, and the body has stepped into the pool of water, and the commander sees this and says: "Release the arrow to ignite the moat!" Pour oil! ”
Then, the archers obeyed the order, and began to shoot their arrows into the oil that had been spilled above the moat with the sparks on the arrows, and in an instant, the moat burst into flames, and the Devourer poured into the scorching pool of water, and could not help but roar under the influence of its heat.
At the same time, on top of the city walls, there were soldiers pouring barrels of oil downward, many of which were sprinkled on the body of the Devourer, causing its flames to spread violently and causing the Devouring Heaven and Earth to be uncomfortable, as if they had been put into a furnace for barbecue, so they slowed down and stopped in place.
"It worked," the soldiers watching from the rear couldn't help but say
"Okay, just clean him up!" Another soldier in the rear said
Hearing this, the veteran on the other side said: "It's not that simple, that guy is a big demon general, don't relax at all and use all your strength to meet the attack!" ”
Under the words, everyone naturally did not dare to relax at all, and continued to release arrows to add fuel to the fire on the body of the Devouring Heaven and Earth Demon, burning violently.
For a while, the drums and trumpets in Dongcheng rang out, and the loud and heavy sound gradually rippled out, so that the people in the Dongcheng area could almost hear it.
Led by the inhabitants near the city gate, many people were woken up by this sound from their sleep in the middle of the night, so some people opened the door, some people were puzzled, and some people knew that the sound of the drum and trumpet was the sound of the drum of battle, indicating that the enemy was invading.
So the middle-aged man shouted: "That's it, there is the sound of drums and trumpets of the enemy's invasion!" Let's get out of here, it's too close to the gates! ”
When everyone heard this, they were all a little flustered, and when they saw someone saying this, some of them had already begun to run to the house to pack up their things and prepare to go to the center of the city, so that they took refuge in the underground tunnel.
"Is this drum and trumpet really an enemy invasion? Our Middle-earth country has been prosperous all year round, and there is a great enemy who suddenly invades in the middle of the night, I don't know if it is true? Or something else. At this time, another young man said
At this time, the streets and alleys in the vicinity were lit up, and many people walked from their houses to the side of the street to discuss around.
At that moment, a group of soldiers trotted over and said, "That's true, there are demons about to invade!" Everyone, go and take refuge, the one who comes is said to be one of the nine demon generals, devouring the demon of heaven and earth, your side is too close to the position of the devil, run quickly, otherwise it will be affected immediately, there is the first refuge point in front of the east intersection, hurry up and go over there, the young and strong people are holding weapons as much as possible to wait for the refuge, according to our army's estimation, there is a big demon will come, then the demon family is also very likely to appear, please take refuge as soon as possible, don't be confused! ”
Other soldiers also began to spread the news, intending to keep the people away from the battlefield as soon as possible.
Hearing this, many people believed even if they didn't believe it, and they all began to pack their things in a hurry, and some ran directly towards the shelter.
At this time, the people, under the instructions of the soldiers, began to find out the truth, and then moved away from the gate of the city.
Some women, housewives, and old women who are packing their valuables, some are reluctant to keep choosing the family's finances, and some of their husbands are busy saying: "Let's go, don't care so much, just take some money and leave, I heard that it is the big demon general, and if we don't leave, we won't even die...!" ”
Words, the women and the men who accompanied them also packed up their belongings and fled as quickly as possible.
For a while, one of them spread the news, and then climbed to the top of the stone steps of the city wall to tell the captain of his guard, saying: "Report, the Great Demon will invade the eastern city from near to far, and the people of the whole city have conveyed it one after another, and at the same time, this news has been conveyed to the palace, and a thousand soldiers and horses are ready in the city, and five thousand soldiers and horses are being mobilized." ”
"Understood, I finally spread the news before the big demon general attacked, and quickly made preparations to meet the demons!" The captain of the guard responded
Hearing this, the messenger responded: "Yes! ”
Then it's time to step back to the other side.
Having done this, at least the responsibilities of being the captain of the guard were done to a minimum, but beyond that, everything was difficult to say.
