A breeze swept through the wilderness, and several soldiers in battle armor watched the ranks of relatives evacuate toward the interior of Grans, with their parents, partners, children, and warriors saying their final goodbyes to them. An atmosphere of sadness permeated the border city, and I wondered if we would see each other again.

Busy time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is sunset, and twilight is vast. After a busy day, the fortifications were almost completed. Large defenses such as knives, logs, heavy crossbows, catapults, etc., have been placed and ready for battle. The warriors sat around the city walls and set up pots and cooked dinner. The meal was hearty for the cooks, but the soldiers didn't seem to have much appetite, and the oppressive atmosphere before the war made the food in front of them lose its allure.

Standing alone on the watchtower on the high platform of the city wall, he put a piece of bacon in his mouth and feasted on it, savoring the aroma of the meat in his mouth, enjoying the last peace before the storm. Ji Mao watched as the sun collected the last rays of sunlight from the earth, and the darkness of the night obscured everything on the surface. In the depths of darkness, an evil force is surging.

Boom, a myriad of cacophony sounds came from the dark night, like thousands of ferocious beasts roaring and running together, echoing across the endless wilderness. The warriors pricked up their ears and listened, and vigilantly picked up the weapons in their hands. Thundered! Thundered! The cacophony was getting closer, interspersed with a terrible roar. Then the earth trembled strangely. The tremor continued, and it spread like a regional earthquake throughout the border city. Ji Mao lowered his head and looked solemnly at the sand flying stones that kept jumping under his feet because of trembling. More and more warriors felt the change in the wilderness, and they stepped onto the walls, ready for battle.

Boom!! Boom!! Big Ben made a dull loud bang again. "Enemy attack! Enemy Attack!! It's Bloodseeker! The number is unknown! The sentinels shouted loudly, and the warriors looked up together to the southwest, where they saw the source that made the earth tremble. I saw thousands of blood demons rushing across the wilderness, overwhelmingly rushing towards the border city like a stormy wave. Their crimson bodies covered the entire wilderness, causing them to tremble like an earthquake.

How many are there?! Ji Mao, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, also widened his eyes in surprise at this moment. Nine thousand, not at least ten thousand or more. Ji Mao counted the number of blood demons, and then drew his sword and held it tightly in his hand, the sharp sword could bring a sense of security to Ji Mao's heart.

"Catapult ready!" At the sound of his command, rows of blazing flames lit up on the fortified walls. Fuel-soaked stones are loaded onto catapults, waiting for an order.

"Ready!" Ji Mao raised his sword and signaled to order. He watched as countless blood-colored figures refracted the moonlight and reflected the sky red, approaching the border city step by step. When they were within range of the catapult, he swung his sword down and shouted, "Release!" ”

Squeak! Squeak! Rumble! Catapults were launched one after another, and the burning stones were thrown into the air in an instant. The stone dragged the flaming wake in a curve in the air and slammed into the crimson monsters. The Blood Demon who rushed to the front didn't have time to dodge and couldn't brake, the person who was smashed by the stone turned over on his back, and the Blood Demon behind was tripped by the Blood Demon in front one after another, and was trampled by his companions further behind, slowing down the pace of attack for a while.

"Catapult reloading ready!" Seeing that the catapult was working well, Ji Mao gave the order again, and the soldiers struggled to pull back the brake lever of the catapult and reload the stones. Once the stones are loaded, another wave of boulders awaits.

"Ji Mao! Watch out for the heights! Wolfgang also climbed the wall at some point, waving his remaining right hand and pointing to the sky in the distance. Ji Mao looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a pair of bloody wings covering the sky spread out in the air, and a blood-colored dragon covered in red waved its wings and struck from high in the sky. The dragon was bare-faced and fanged, and a human figure stood vaguely above its head.

Blood Shadow Dragon! The mount of a high-level monster, then the one above its head should be the Blood Demon Lord. At this moment, Ji Mao identified the attacking monster. He shouted: "Catapult ready!" Put! With his command, another wave of burning boulders flew into the air.

This time, however, the stone did not hit the Bloodseeker. The Blood Shadow Dragon flicked its huge wings and knocked down the stones that flew into the sky one by one, and several stones were directly bounced back and landed on the heavy city wall. "Ahh Several screams sounded on the city wall, and the burning stones shattered into countless small rubbles after hitting the city wall, and many soldiers were hit by the rubble and suffered varying degrees of losses.

"Crossbowmen ready!! Shoot the arrows! Seeing that the catapult did not work, Ji Mao immediately switched weapons, and following his order, the heavy crossbowmen began to shoot arrows with bows and arrows, attacking the army of blood demons with all their might.

"Stop attacking it with ranged weapons, it's useless!" Wolfgang shouted at him.

"What are you doing here? The Blood Demon Lord has already appeared, hurry up and report the news to the Zhongshan City Lord of Zhong Zhi City! Ji Mao replied impatiently, the army of blood demons had already appeared in its entirety, and Wolfgang should have left the border city with the news.

"I can't go! The Blood Demon Lord will land here soon! Wolfgang drew his sword and stood on the city wall and said, "I have an account with the Blood Demon Lord yet!" ”

"Damn, I know!" Ji Mao sneered, he knew very well what Wolfgang meant by this move. "Wolfgang! If you look at the warriors on the city wall, there are more than 20,000 of them. Take a look at the ground staff and medics below. Everyone present here is eager to do the task I have given you and return to the lands of Grans. But I just gave this task to you who want to stay here the most, do you know why? ”

Wolfgang was silent, he was not a fool. But he also knew in his heart that he and the regular army of 30,000 people alone would not be able to stop the army of blood demons that numbered close to 10,000. He is dying, in order to give himself a chance to ask for help, but also for the thousands of ordinary people behind him.

"Don't die, Jimao!" Wolfgang resolutely put away his sword, knowing that he would insult the dignity of a swordsman if he continued to toss. Wolfgang jumped from the 15-metre-high wall back into the interior of the border city, not moving like a man who had just been seriously injured. Soon two horseback figures slipped out through the side gate of the border city, and they were Wolfgang and Kieran.

Looking at Wolfgang's distant back, he grinned. "Don't underestimate me so much." Ji Mao muttered quietly.

Yes!!! At that moment, a shrill scream exploded in the sky, and the piercing sound attacked the eardrums of everyone nearby. Ji Maoqiang looked into the air with a piercing sound, only to see a female blood demon riding a strange bird, ignoring the catapult and heavy crossbow attacks, breaking through the defenses and swooping towards him. Blood Mother Demon? Just in time! With his sword in both hands, he dodged the Blood Mother's dive attack at an extreme angle. At the moment when the Blood Mother Demon rode the strange bird to the ground, Ji Mao swung it over with a powerful slash, and forcibly cut off the head of the strange bird. In just one look, the giant bird's head was gone. The Swordsman of the Grans Empire is ranked seventy-ninth, and his strength is clear at a glance with his powerful blow.

The Blood Mother Demon lost her mount and rolled to the opposite side of Jimao, where one man and one demon confronted each other on the watchtower. Suddenly! The two shot almost at the same time, turning into two wind-like figures to launch a fierce offensive and defensive battle. The Blood Mother Demon is a first-order high-level demon, and it is considered a weak existence among the high-level demons, but after all, it is a high-level demon, and the single combat power is also very arrogant. After a few rounds, there were back and forth with Ji Mao. At that moment, he distanced himself from the Blood Mother Demon with a backflip, and he grasped the hilt of his sword with both hands, and a stream of blue gas actually attached to the blade. With the beeping sound of the blade, he unleashed a skill unique to a swordsman—Storm Slash!

The azure gas continued to condense, forming a darker energy body, which compressed the surrounding air, forming high-pressure air blades. The high-pressure air blade has cut into the Blood Mother Demon in front of it at an extremely fast speed, and the Blood Mother Demon is not in a hurry to dodge, and can only rely on the physical body to resist. In an instant, the skin of the stool opened. The Blood Mother Demon was so pained that she used the sound waves to attack again, and a piercing sound wave hit her.

Ji Mao used the storm slash again, and the high-pressure air blade and the piercing sound collided in the air, and the two energies pierced each other. Ji Mao jumped off the high platform, dodging the sound attack of the Blood Mother Demon. And the Blood Mother Demon once again resisted its own storm slash, this time, the Blood Mother Demon paused for a moment, it looked up and slowly looked at the Blood Demon Lord in the air, and kept muttering a language that humans could not understand, as if it was saying a final goodbye to the Blood Demon Lord, and then its body was shattered into countless pieces of flesh.

The heroic act of defeating the Blood Mother Demon deeply affected the warriors on the city wall, and they held on to their posts, and the fighting spirit was high. Soon the army of blood demons also pounced at the foot of the border city, and they trampled on each other, building in the shape of a human ladder, and constantly sending their companions behind them to climb up.

"Start the Sharp Knife Rolling Wood!" He shouted loudly, and he shuttled back and forth on the walls, helping to defend the weak areas. At his command, countless huge wooden piles weighing more than 100 kilograms were pushed down from under the city walls. Sharp knife rolling log, also known as yaksha thunder, uses the principle of rolling braking and inserts sharp metal spikes into the stakes. Wooden wheels were installed at both ends of the stakes, which allowed the weapon to travel longer and facilitate transportation and control. When using a sharp knife to roll wood, it is the beginning of an enemy's nightmare, as no creature can resist it from falling from a great height. The powerful propulsion caused the Blood Fiend to fall into the spikes like cabbages along the way, and the scene was bloody and extremely brutal.

Although the warriors of the border city tried their best, there were too many blood demons. When the last sharp knife was exhausted, the warriors on the walls clenched their weapons, and they stood guard next to the heavy crossbows and catapults. They are to protect important ranged attack equipment to keep out the Great Blood Demons who have not yet reached the walls.

Finally, the first blood demon climbed the city wall through the human ladder, and before he could use his fists and feet, he was decisively drawn and slashed down by the members of the Phoenix Crown Swordsman Regiment. The long swords in their hands are all replicas of Excalibur, which have the power to eliminate demons.

"Captain Jimao!!" A swordsman of the Phoenix-crowned Swordsman Regiment gestured to Jimao. Ji Mao nodded, and years of tacit understanding made him instantly understand what the swordsman meant.

"Raise the city shield!!" He gave orders to the soldiers on the city walls. The heavy iron tree shield was lifted by a stout warrior, one by one, creating a solid shield to protect the crossbowmen and catapults. The Bloodfiends attempted to climb the walls again, but were held back by heavy wooden shields.

"The Phoenix Crown Swordsman Regiment listens to the order, and all the Great Swordsman level people are out of the ranks!" As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen sturdy young men walked out of the team. "Sixteen of you follow me and go to crusade against the Blood Demon Lord!" Ji Mao counted the number of people and said briefly. Then he quickly moved towards the interior of the border city, and sixteen great swordsmen followed closely behind, not left behind.
