Chapter 36: The Battle of the Five Armies (Before and After the Decisive Battle)

Just as human regimes have chosen important border towns in the vast passes. The first generation of the Demon Clan's founding ancestor, the Night Demon Lord, chose the first line of defense of the Demon Empire in the Seven Nights - this place where "the left is based on the Heavenly Sin Desert, the right realm is blessed with the danger of the Nine Fire Mountains, and the middle belt is the Styx River, and the road of the Three Ways River is set up, and the six major demon portals are established". Seven Nights is indeed the most important demon city in this empty and yellow desert.

For thousands of years, humans have guarded the vast pass, and almost never set foot in the land of seven nights. Even the falconer warriors of the purple sey have only a small number of scouts.

However, this time when he stepped into the Seven Nights City, Shang Mingwu had an indescribable sense of crisis and oppression.

The crisis was the survival instinct in his body - this time the action was too smooth, too easy. It's so easy to be unreal, so easy to believe it.

Among them, is there a hidden storm, a big danger? He didn't know! His eyes might be able to see through all the demonic exercises.

However, he couldn't see through the outcome of this operation, and he couldn't dissolve the fate of this human race.

He can only be careful, careful, careful.

He can only be cautious, cautious, and cautious.

The closer I got to the inner city gate, the feeling of danger came out and lingered.

It seems to have returned to the era of more than 20 years ago when the demons attacked and harassed the vast passes, Sanfu and four towns - it was a murderous era, and every step was faced with huge and severe challenges and dangerous situations.

At that time, in his heart, he was not at all sure that he would defeat the demons. It was powerlessness and helplessness in the fight against heaven and earth.

There are demons rampant at the border. Inside, there are many forces in the government and the opposition that are ready to move, and there are undercurrents and undercurrents.

The contradictions between the main war faction and the main peace faction are getting deeper and deeper, and I am afraid that they will soon have to attack each other......

When he thought of this, Shang Mingwu glanced at Shen Xie, who was riding a tall horse next to him, with a red face.

The number one general of the Demon Slayer has been roaming gracefully, lying on horseback and fiddling with the two sledgehammers in his hands.

That's Shen Xie's secondary weapon - the immovable Ming King destroys the stars, and the Shamo Ming King shatters. It is claimed that a single hammer is 500 catties, and a double hammer is 1,000 catties, which can crush all demons.

Looking at the fierce man in front of him, Shang Mingwu's eyes suddenly condensed - as the saying goes, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and trickery are not a problem.

"Maybe, I'm really overthinking!" Shang Mingwu shook his head and smiled.

"Hey, old merchant! What are you giggling at? Shen Xie frowned, puzzled.

Shang Mingwu was slightly stunned, and his expression quickly turned cold: "It's okay!" ”

"Really?" Shen Xie lowered his eyes and looked at him: "Then again, where did you let Lao Tie go?" How is it mysterious? ”

Shang Mingwu smiled slightly and explained, "I asked Lao Tie to guard our way into the city. In this way, even if there is a change in the city, we will be able to get out of the city. There must be a way out for people and everything, and of course the same is true of the way of war. ”

"I see, it's still thoughtful." Shen Xie's strong eyebrows raised slightly, and he nodded yes.

About half an hour later, the First Vanguard Army passed through the inner city gate smoothly and came to the desolate streets of Seven Nights City.

If you had been there last month, the Seven Nights City would have been a different story. This important city on the ancient road in the southwest of the Demon Realm will be extremely prosperous at night. Demon caravans from all over the world stop here, and vendors shout and solicit business in the streets and alleys. Morna swayed in restaurants, hot springs, gambling stalls, hook bars and other places. A piece of warblers crying swallows, the lights are red and green, and the singing and dancing are leveling, so prosperous.

Now, the battle clouds are thick in Seven Nights City. On the streets, there are no caravans, hawkers. And the aborigines had long received the news and evacuated the city ahead of schedule.

The army is passing through a sea of blooming Seven Nights of Flowers. For some reason, that feeling of danger returned.

Shang Mingwu stopped his horse and suddenly turned around. I took a look at this sea of flowers. At that moment, there was a divine light surging in his eyes. Suddenly, he opened his bag and took out the Seven Nights City Defense Map.

The finger quickly pointed to a place on the deerskin map, where the dense buildings were circled with red pens, and the sea of flowers was not even shown.

After repeated confirmation, Shang Mingwu was stunned, and the horse quickly came to Shen Xie's side. He tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Brother, there is indeed an ambush." ”

Shen Xie's face changed slightly, and he whispered, "What's the situation?" ”

Shang Mingwu trembled, and his hand subconsciously clenched the long sword at his waist to hide the tension in his heart: "If my estimate is correct, there is an ambush under the bottom of this flower sea!" Although, I don't know how the demons escaped Qingyang's detection. However, it is already a fact that we are in ambush. ”

After knowing each other for twenty years, he had never seen Shang Mingwu act like this, Shen Xie only felt that his mind was blank all of a sudden, and he asked rhetorically: "Old Shang, what should I do now?" ”

Shang Mingwu's eyes changed to calm: "Don't make a noise yet, only you and I know about this matter at present." You quickly go and order the rear army to become the front army, and the army slowly withdraws from Seven Nights City. ”

Shen Xie was also nervous, and secretly shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate, it's better for you to take the rear army to withdraw first." I'll be your queen! ”

Shang Mingwu gasped: "I am the vanguard commander, if I withdraw first, the other party will find out my intentions and may act in advance." ”

Shen Xie worriedly persuaded: "It is precisely because you are the vanguard commander that you must first ensure that you are alive." Listen to me, you go first! ”

Shang Mingwu said eagerly: "It's all this time, don't make trouble for Lao Tzu-" Before the voice was finished, poof, a red arrow rose! The arrows exploded in the sky with a cloud of red fireworks.......

Shang Mingwu and Shen Xie stopped arguing and were slightly stunned, but in this moment, the sea of flowers in the Seven Nights suddenly cracked!

The sand and soil of the Seven Nights Flower Sea cracked in vain, and countless demon warriors with long purple hair in their hands, sharp heavy swords on their waists, and blood-colored armor crawled out of the soil, carrying scattered yellow sand on their heads, bodies, weapons, and armor.

- That's the Seven Nights of the Feather Forest Tiger, the elite hoplite of the demon race

Be the first to make a demon, stand up, take the command flag in your hand, just a wave. The Seven Nights Feather Forest Tigers quickly lined up side by side in eight rows of deep formationβ€”the Seven Nights Tigers in the front row all lowered their spears and pointed forward. The soldiers in the back row put their spears on the shoulders of the soldiers in the front row, forming a wall of spears, and pressed down like a moving mountain with a uniform step.

No complicated design, no overly elaborate arrangement. It is even very simple, simple and pure, and often the simpler things are, the more powerful and effective they are. This phalanx looks simple, but it is highly scientific, strategic and teamwork. As soon as the army of demon slayers dared to rush closer, they would instantly crush it into meat sauce.

At this moment, Shang Mingwu turned his mind to Qi Su: "Retreat, retreat to Tie Shilei!" ”

The sixty-fifth generation leader of the Demon Slayer Guard roared loudly: "The rear army is the front army, and the front army is the rear army. All - withdraw! ”

The words did not fall. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable oppressive force permeate the air, and his hairs stood on end, looking in the direction of retreat. couldn't help but change his face and blurted out: "Damn, there are still -"

I heard another war drum beating. In the direction of the inner city gate, another demon army drove over.

The demons of this army are all tall and strong. Holding a desolate demon halberd of nearly three meters, the black armor of the moon wheel pierced inside, and two plates of armor with external panels. Purple rhino leather leg armor is tied on his legs, and he wears a nine-fire fox fur shawl armor on his shoulders. Walking over, there was a faint sound of rumbling footsteps.

An elite warrior from the Desolate Demon Clan in the middle of the Demon Realm. White-knuckle combat, foot combat, melee, the real king of the charge - the desolate warrior.

The territory of the Desolate Demon Clan is in the middle of the Demon Land, and there have always been frequent wars, coupled with the mixed residence of fierce ethnic minorities, so the people are fierce and good at fighting. The Desert Warrior is a warrior carefully selected from the Wild Demon Clan. They are well-armed, well-trained, and fierce. From officials to soldiers, they are all soldiers who have fought from the sea of corpses and blood. On weekdays, as the personal guard of the demon king wildfire, he was the first to enter the battle in wartime, and he was the strongest elite infantry in the demon race.

At this time, the five brave centurions of the desolate clan moved forward and unfurled, and one of them slowly walked out, carrying a magic spear, with an awe-inspiring momentum, even if he was separated by hundreds of steps, Shang Mingwu could still feel the majestic and murderous momentum on his body.

The absolute king of the demon clan is not a demon general.

Shen Xie swept his eyes at the demon and asked, "Who is this demon?" ”

Shang Mingwu said: "If I guess correctly, this demon should be the second prince of the Desolate Demon Clan. The number one fierce general of the Desolate Demon Family. ”
