......

Cui Zhang didn't expect that he would lead 5,000 troops towards Hengyan Pass, and the elimination of demon beasts along the way could be carried out so smoothly, and in less than three days, the two strongholds between Qingyu Pass and Hengyan Pass had been recovered.

There were probably more than 500 fallen sergeants and nearly 2,000 wounded, but because there were barriers in front and back of this area, the demon beast army could no longer replenish the number of soldiers, so Cui Zhang left the wounded soldiers behind in the two village strongholds.

Therefore, at this moment, the military strength is still about 3,000, and about half a day later, this aid team will be able to arrive at Hengyan Pass, which is really twice as fast as expected, and at the same time, the remaining military strength is also fifty percent more.

And all this, Cui Zhang thinks that it is all thanks to the young and beautiful woman at the front, Liu Xinyu.

She is one of the monks who came to support the sweeping beast tide of the Qingyan Alliance, but she always rushes to the front of the team, selecting high-level demon beasts to kill, and almost every demon beast leader on the battlefield dies at her hands in the end.

However, Cui Zhang didn't see a bloodthirsty and murderous appearance on her face, and she never collected demon beast materials, but seemed to insist on moving north as soon as possible, as if she was looking for something.

In addition, her origin is quite mysterious, there has always been a Sister Cheng beside her as a guard, that Sister Cheng is a master in the late stage of Qi refining, but I am afraid that the strength is still above his Cui Zhang, but the main force to sweep away the demon beast is still Liu Xinyu, Sister Cheng is only responsible for the monster when it threatens her young lady.

But what Cui Zhang couldn't look down on the most was that in addition to Sister Cheng, there was also a group of more than 30 masters following Liu Xinyu, including Yu Renfeng, the king of Xiaojun, and the guards he brought were all masters of Qi refining, and their combat power was really not to be underestimated, but nominally they all came to protect Liu Xinyu, so the total record was not as good as Liu Xinyu.

Does Miss Liu need your protection?

But what made Cui Zhang feel most angry was that the people from the Junwang Mansion seemed to be here to visit, and when they saw that other sergeants were in danger, they just watched from the sidelines, and they were even stingy to make a move, so why did they come to join the army?

However, the personnel of the county king's mansion have a special status, and they can't order these people with Cui Zhang's power, but they can't refuse their entourage, because the entire area of Qingyan County is nominally the territory of the county king's mansion, where can they be restricted from going?

So Cui Zhang had no choice but to turn a blind eye to this group of people, and even Yu Renfeng, the king of the small county, didn't give him a good look, anyway, the county prince's mansion had no real power over the military, and it didn't affect Cui Zhang's future development.

......

At this moment, the sun has set in the east, Cui Zhang ordered to camp and rest, although the demon beasts have been almost wiped out, but rushing at night will also increase a lot of danger.

What's more, there are only twenty miles left, and you can reach Hengyan Pass in about two hours, which is not very convenient to arrive at this time, and it is rumored that not long ago, the previous wave of the demon beast tide has receded, so there is really no need to continue to hurry.

However, when the bright moon hung high in the night sky, there was a sudden sound of wolf howling in the distance, which is not uncommon in the usual wild, but this mountain road has been a constant battle between the human race and the demon race in recent months, how can there be ordinary beasts inhabiting?

At this time, Cui Zhang and several commanders all stepped out of the camp tent, including Liu Xinyu, all of them focused on catching the strange wolf howl floating under the night sky.

After a while, there was a sudden change in the sky, as if a layer of clouds and mist drifted by, and in just a few breaths, the entire night sky was covered with a thin veil, and even the bright moon became dim.

But then, the moonlight became more and more red, or rather blood, and as the wolf howl became more pronounced, the moon became darker and darker, and at last it became a dark purple-red, and there was no light at all, like a strange pupil embedded in the night sky.

"Oh no! This is the Moon Swallowing Wolf Demon, judging from the distance and direction, Hengyan Pass will be attacked by the wolf demon group, especially tonight, the full moon, the wolf demon's combat power will increase by three percent, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult to survive!" Cui Zhang quickly made a judgment, and the situation will not be optimistic.

"All the sergeants immediately set out of camp, and the forward led a thousand people to Hengyan Pass to support first, I'm afraid it will be too late if it's too late!" The military order was immediately passed on, if Hengyan Pass could not hold on, let the beast tide pour into the pass again, and as a result, with only the three thousand troops under Cui Zhang, it would be drowned by the demon beast tide in the end.

And not long after Cui Zhang's order, Liu Xinyu and Sister Cheng had already left the barracks and rushed to the north, about half an hour later, the guards of the county king's mansion and the little county king hurriedly followed, as for Liu Xinyu's safety, Cui Zhang was not worried, but some expected her to arrive in time, because with her and Sister Cheng's combat power, even if it was a congenital-level moon-swallowing wolf demon, it should have the power to fight.

......

After resting for more than half an hour, the soldiers of Hengyan Pass began to build the fortifications to protect the city wall.

Yun Guyu, Tian Tongzai, and Mo Yuxian finally decided to divide the destroyed city wall into twenty small parts, each of which would take about two hours to complete, and strengthen them with defensive runes to avoid being destroyed and dumped again during the next demon beast impact.

Although the overall project time will be longer, the gap will gradually decrease, and it will not be washed away by the tide of monsters that attack again before it has time to use runes to strengthen the completed part.

The fortifications were going quite smoothly, as everyone knew that if the gaps in the city walls were not completely repaired, then the demon clan would not give up on continuing to attack Hengyan Pass.

So just before nightfall, two small parts of the wall were repaired, but none of the guards thought of stopping to rest, because it was a matter of life and death, and the sooner it was completed, the better the chance of saving their lives.

However, just when the bright moon was hanging high, a terrifying wolf howl began to sound in all directions, and then a rumbling sound began to come from the mountainous area, and the ground could feel a slight trembling, but the guards were extremely familiar with this phenomenon, because every time a large number of demon beasts attacked, the result was like this.

"Moon Swallowing Wolf Demon!!It's the Moon Swallowing Wolf Demon that drives the demon beast to attack!!Everyone is in place!!Prepare to face the impact of the demon beast!!"

"All the archers are on standby on the city wall, and the five squads are in position at the gap, ready to rush out at any time to stop the army of demon beasts, and they must not be allowed to break into the pass!!"

"The logistics troops hurriedly distributed the talismans and pills to all the people, and after the work was completed, all of them went to the rear of the gap to be on standby, fill the vacancy in front at any time, and bring the injured back for treatment!!"

The sound of the orders of the leaders of each squad sounded everywhere, and the entire Hengyan Pass instantly boiled, and everyone's mood was very tense, because it was originally not good for the human race to fight at night, not to mention that many sergeants who had fought against the demon clan for many years knew that the ferocity of the moon swallowing wolf demon would increase greatly during the full moon.

But even though there was uneasiness and fear in his heart, there was no hesitation in his actions, including the hundreds of young monks who had come from Pushang Town, as long as they were still alive, they had all undergone the cruel baptism of the battlefield, and their hearts had been sharpened much more firmly than before.

The point is that they know that fear is useless, and that on the battlefield, no one else will have the extra strength to help you except yourself.

So even if his physical strength and true qi did not return to his full state, he still fought twelve points of spirit and prepared to fight to the death with the demon beasts that came.

After the moon shadow in the sky was completely swallowed and covered, the black shadow like a wave surged towards Hengyan Pass, and at this time, it was completely impossible to tell what level and what kind of demon beasts were inside, but in short, the number was absolutely amazing, probably millions of levels, which was as much as twenty times the strength of the army guarding the pass.

"Arrows, shoot!!"

When the group of demon beasts entered the range of the archers of the city wall, the team leader immediately gave the order to attack, and in an instant, tens of thousands of arrows flew out from the guard, falling on the front of the black waves like rain.

But how could Xiaoyu stop the advance of the wild waves, this wave of arrows seemed to be engulfed, and the beast tide still maintained a rapid forward surge speed, and the roars of countless demon beasts were heard, and the power was even more earth-shattering.

"Change the line, shoot again!!"

As soon as the archers on the city wall were out of their hands, the front and back rows were reversed, and in less than a breath between a few calls, a second wave of arrows was sent out again.

There is no shortage of arrows hidden in Hengyan Pass, but this kind of arrow is only equivalent to a three-grade magic weapon, and it cannot cause fatal trauma to demon beasts above the fifth grade, but if it is shot by dozens of arrows at once, it can also greatly reduce the combat power of these demon beasts.

In this way, after twenty waves of continuous attacks, the demon beast tide had advanced to a distance of a hundred zhang from the city wall, and at this time, dozens of squad leaders ordered to change arrows and began to carry out another wave of more violent attacks.

"Explosive arrows, shoot!!"

This time it was replaced with the fourth-grade 'Explosive Arrow', but under the explosion of countless arrows, the power could even be pushed up to the power of the rune equivalent to five or six grades, and the damage to the demon beasts below the seventh order was great, but because the number of arrows was much less than that of the third-grade arrows, the power of the explosive arrows could be maximized by considering the concentration range, so only when the demon beasts hit within a hundred zhang distance, could the arrow attack be changed.

When this wave of arrows was shot, it was not much different from the previous three-grade arrows, but when they fell on the wave of demon beasts, with the rumbling sound of one after another, bright red flowers bloomed one after another.

And after a while, it continued into a large series, like a sea of fire blocking the front end of the black waves, and the roar of the demon beasts that originally resounded throughout the mountain turned into countless miserable howls, and it can be imagined that there are many middle and low-level demon beasts, all of which have been severely injured and even died under this wave of attacks.

However, the endless black waves wiped out the sea of fire formed by the explosive arrows in the blink of an eye, and even a little spark could not be preserved, and some of the more seriously injured demon beasts also fell one after another under the trampling of the demon beasts behind.

However, the black wave did not show any weakening trend at all, but the soldiers defending the city were not discouraged by this, because they knew that as long as they could injure one more demon beast, they would be able to reduce the pressure by a little more by engaging in hand-to-hand combat for a while.

"Explosive arrows, shoot again!!"
