Chapter 235: Cloud City Crisis
After the capture of the city, Dragon Fist resumed its lightning tactics, but was unable to fight due to the fact that the Berserker's injuries had not healed. The thunderous array of ice and fire with the sonorous heavenly fire and the sonorous ice could no longer resist the Dragon Fist, on the contrary, they would often fall into the thunder and spear formation of the Dragon Fist.
Several times they escaped death, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to fight anymore, so they could only retreat, so that most of the territory of the Sonorous Empire had been occupied by the Dragon Fist, and the capture of the imperial capital was just around the corner.
But at this time, Dragon Fist received very bad news: the allied forces of the Sister-in-law Empire and the Heavenly Demon Empire had launched an attack on the border cities of the Heavenly Dragon Empire!
The city that was attacked was the city that Xinlu held back then, Cloud City, which had been guarding against the Concubines Empire for many years, and it could be said that it was impregnable and would not be so easy to break.
But this time, the Heavenly Demon Empire sent an extremely powerful demon army to help in the battle, and the elite troops in the Heavenly Dragon Empire had already entered the Sonorous Empire, and there were few generals guarding Cloud City, and the situation was very critical!
"Which general is guarding Cloud City now?" After reading the battle report, Long Fist summoned the generals to discuss.
"Your Majesty, it's General Nangong Xun. Sun Wei said.
"Only General Nangong Xun can't hold it there, and the Concubines Empire may not be a cause for concern, but the demon army should not be underestimated, and the demon clan once ruled the entire continent for a period of time. Now that we are attacking the Sonorous Empire, it is a critical moment, and we must not easily withdraw our troops back, so I must immediately send someone to ask Duanmu Demon Master to come out to help Nangong Xun. Dragon Fist said.
"But Your Majesty, although the magic of Duanmu Magister is powerful, the elite troops in the empire are already here, and it is very difficult to block the alliance of the Concubines Empire and the demons. Sun Wei said.
"Alas, it would be nice if the prince of Longming was here, with him sticking to the borders of the empire, I can rest assured. Dragon Fist said.
"It's been a long time since Prince Longming disappeared, and there has been no news, could there be any accidents?" Sun Wei said.
"When I first heard that he was missing, I thought it was impossible, with his strength, no one could help him, even if he couldn't beat him, he could escape. But now that it's been so long, there is still no news at all, this is not like the character of Brother Ming, he will not let the people who care about him worry so much, and his princesses are estimated to be crazy now. I've already sent people around to find out my brother's whereabouts, and they'll let me know as soon as they get the news. Alas, if it weren't for the urgency of the war, I would have wanted to find him myself. Dragon Fist said.
"Your Majesty, we have almost attacked the imperial capital of the Sonorous Empire, and now we can say that we have won successive battles all the way to the march, and I think this Sonorous Empire is already in our pocket. Why don't I take a team of men and horses back to the empire and help General Nangong Xun to avoid a domestic crisis." Sun Wei said.
"General Sun Wei, although we can now attack the city all the way unimpeded, I am still worried that the orc berserkers will awaken again, and it will not be so easy for us to win the battle again. Dragon Fist said.
"Your Majesty, that berserker is the only one you can deal with, and it shouldn't have much impact if the last general leads a team of elites back. Sun Wei said.
"Well, now the empire is indeed a little lacking in troops, and the demon army should not be underestimated, so you can bring a few more sky warriors back. The deployment of the ground forces here will be handed over to Langhao for the time being. ”
"Your Majesty!" Lang Hao interjected at this time: "I just want to be the vanguard of the army, deploy formations, and I'm not good at making suggestions. ”
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, you just be a commander, and someone will naturally give you advice at that time. Dragon Fist said.
On the border of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, near Cloud City, the army of the Demon Clan and the army of the Concubines Empire have already set up camp here.
It's been half a month since they attacked Cloud City, but they still haven't been able to break through.
Although the walls of Cloud City are tall and strong, since most of the forces of the Heavenly Dragon Empire have gone to the Sonorous Empire, if the demon army and the concubine army are full of strength and fight hard, it will not be difficult to break through Cloud City. But during this time, it seems to be a feint.
This time, the general sent by the Concubines Empire was Zuo Xixue, and the Demon Clan also sent an old general named Jia Luo. And the demon princess Su Qiao is only in charge of supervising the battle, and she and Long Ming will not show up.
"General Garo, why don't we just attack the city, it's just a waste of time to go on like this. Zuo Xixue looked at this hideous-looking demon general, a little dissatisfied, it was her dream for many years to attack Cloud City to expand her territory, and now with the help of the allies, the opportunity is rare, but the demon general is reluctant to give the order to attack.
"General Zuo, don't be in such a hurry, it's very easy to attack the city, but there aren't many high-ranking generals in the city now, so it's not interesting to kill them, and when their reinforcements arrive, I'll go in and kill them all!"
"I've been fighting for so many years, and I've never heard of waiting for enemy reinforcements to arrive before attacking, and the demons' combat strategy is really incomprehensible. Zuo Xixue sneered.
"Hahahaha, is General Zuo afraid of missing the opportunity to attack Cloud City, you can rest assured, even if the Dragon Fist comes in person, I can attack it, but the purpose of the Demon Emperor's troops this time is not to attack the city, but to kill the senior generals of the Tianlong Army, including the Dragon Fist!"
"Okay, General Nagaro, you have to beat them to the point that they can't hold the city before they send reinforcements, what's the point of spending like this?"
"That's a good point, but Cloud City is now guarded by only one Sky Warrior, this Dragon Fist is definitely impossible to rest assured, and their first batch of reinforcements must be coming soon. Tomorrow we will launch a major attack to probe their forces. ”
"Okay!" Zuo Xixue finally smiled: "I'm just waiting for your words, but if we attack the city, we won't quit!"
In Cloud City, Nangong Xun finally waited for the news of reinforcements. Sun Wei's troops who had returned from the Sonorous Empire had already returned to the Heavenly Dragon Empire and were heading towards Cloud City.
Although the Demon Sister-in-law Alliance only feintmed, Nangong Xun still felt very difficult to defend the city, because he had no way to effectively counterattack the enemy army, and the defenders on the city wall continued to suffer casualties. He alone flew away from the city wall to fight the demon air team that kept coming.
The Demon Air Warriors don't need to reach the level of Sky Warriors at all, because these demons themselves have wings, which is a relatively advanced type among the demons, and they are already equivalent to the level of human Sky Warriors.
Nangong Xun used the bow and crossbow modified by the Dragon Fist to fire and block before they could get close, but the Demon Flyer had practiced tactics in the air since he was a child, and although the crossbow arrows were amazingly powerful, it was difficult to hurt them.
One of them held a shield and a spear in the other, and the shield was protected against the crossbow arrows that were fired, and the spears were thrown towards the city wall of Yuncheng, so Nangong Xun not only did not kill the enemy, but also wasted the crossbow arrows and killed and injured many crossbowmen.
Nangong Xun felt completely tricked by the Demon Clan's air team, and he was very angry, he really wanted his sky team to arrive immediately, put on a thunder gun formation, and the Demon Clan's air team did not leave a piece of armor.
