Chapter 512: Laying Out Defenses
Although he was unwilling, the situation was stronger than people at the moment, and several Tiangang Realm powerhouses could only turn around and evacuate.
Woohoo......
They instantly pushed their speed to the extreme, and flew away into the distance.
"Huh, don't try to escape!"
Seeing this, several insect demon kings were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect that a few humans who were still menacing just now would choose to escape, and when they reacted, they were immediately furious.
They were about to pursue when they heard the voice of the Evil Spirit King coming over: "Stop chasing, let them go!"
"Hmm, why?" the demons looked at in confusion.
"Hehe......"
The Evil Spirit King laughed out loud, his handsome face was full of evil spirits, he turned around in the void, looked at the wave after wave, the army of insects and demons that continued to pour out of the cracks in the space, and said, "Don't forget that our mission is to guard this gate of heaven and wait for the arrival of the emperor, from today until the arrival of the emperors, a few of us, there must be enough manpower to stay here and guard the gate of heaven!"
He paused for a moment, and then said, "Those humans, let them live a little longer." ”
When the rest of the Worm Demon Kings heard this, they could only stare angrily at the direction in which the humans had fled, their eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.
"Are we just going to stay here and do nothing?"
The Blood Ant King frowned and said.
His arm was injured by the old dean, and the tyrannical emotion in his heart was almost uncontrollable.
"Of course not!" The Evil Spirit King's eyes flashed, and he said firmly, "Judging from the strength of those few human beings, I conclude that there must be no emperor-level powerhouse near this Heavenly Gate......"
"Hmm, why?" interrupted the Worm Demon King.
"Hehe," the Evil Spirit King laughed, "We broke through the Heavenly Gate just now, and the movement was so big, if there was an emperor-level powerhouse, I'm afraid we would have heard it a long time ago, right?"
"Yes, that makes sense!" the eyes of the other insect demon kings lit up.
"Evil Mang, what are you going to do?" asked the Blood Ant King.
The Evil Spirit King smiled and said, "I plan to start acting when the army is all coming, among the nine of us, five of us will be left to guard the Heavenly Gate, and the remaining four will lead an army to sweep this area first, and make great achievements before the emperor arrives!"
"Yes!
"I'm for it too!"
"Hehe, I've wanted to do this for a long time, hehe, I'm the one who goes on the expedition!"
"Yes, and me!"
"Why am I missing?"
The Evil Spirit King's voice fell, and suddenly the eyes of several Worm Demon Kings lit up and opened their mouths to fight.
"Okay, Blood Ants, Inferno, Demon Bees, and Ghosts, the four of you are very good at leading the army, and your subordinates are also the best at fighting, so I will hand over the merit of this battle to you!" the Evil Spirit King pondered for a moment and then looked up and said.
The mighty army of insects and demons continued to surge out of the spatial cracks, and this process lasted for a whole day and a night.
Until the last wave passed through the crack and gathered in the Donglin Mountain Range, the number of insect demons had reached a million!
At this moment, with the spatial crack as the center, the mountains are all over the field, and they are all insects and demons.
The terrifying tyrannical aura converged and soared into the sky.
When an army of millions of insects and demons descended, the first to suffer was the fierce beasts living in the Donglin Mountain Range.
These alien races from the underworld, bloodthirsty by nature, the huge Donglin Mountain Range, and the countless fierce beasts, have become the food in their stomachs.
After the assembly of the insect demon army, after a little rest, they divided an army of two or three hundred thousand insect demons, and under the command of the four insect demon kings, they began their first battle to conquer the world!
......
In the past two days, the old dean and several Tiangang Realm powerhouses have not been idle.
After returning, the first thing they did was to spread the news of the insect's arrival. After all, now that the invasion of worms and demons is a foregone conclusion, there is no point in concealing the truth.
The insect plague is coming!
The shocking news spread like a whirlwind throughout the city, and for a moment, everyone was frightened.
Hundreds of years ago, Starlight City was hit by a small insect plague, and that time, an endless army of insect demons came to the city, and it was extremely murderous. The insect demon is bloodthirsty, and the low-level insect demon is completely unconscious, only knows killing, in that disaster, countless lives were killed at the hands of the insect demon, even if the insect plague recedes in the end, people still often have nightmares when they recall that terrible scene.
It was a fear that had been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and was unforgettable!
Panic began to spread.
In Starlight City, everyone had anxiety and fear on their faces, and many people even chose to leave the city overnight to escape from this place of right and wrong.
The Lord's Palace, the Council Hall.
At this moment, there were twenty or thirty people sitting in the hall, these people were all leaders of the major forces in the city, but at this time, everyone did not speak, their faces were not good-looking, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Ji Mingkong frowned, and a thick melancholy welled up in his eyes.
He had served as the lord of the city for many years, and he had never encountered such a power of life and death, and he felt his scalp tingle and shudder at the thought of the scene of dense giant insects crawling out of the cracks.
"City Lord, do we have a chance of winning this battle?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man sitting in the corner spoke, breaking the silence in the hall.
Ji Mingkong turned his head to look and recognized that it was Roger, the head of the Luo family, who spoke.
Although the Luo family can only be regarded as a medium-sized family in Starlight City, its power should not be underestimated.
Ji Mingkong said: "Yes! And the odds are not small!"
"Oh?"
Except for the old dean and the others who were sitting at the top, everyone else showed a touch of surprise and seemed to be in disbelief.
Ji Mingkong said, "At present, the insect demon army in the Donglin Mountain Range is led by nine insect demon kings, this is not a cause for concern, the trouble is that there are too many disgusting insects, roughly estimated, no less than a million!"
"Shhh
In the hall, everyone's faces changed in unison, and their eyes welled up with horror.
"Millions of insect demons, my God! City Lord, as far as I know, all the martial artists in the city now add up, and they are only more than 100,000, which is not a level number at all!"
"yes, that's ...... That's too big a gap, isn't it?"
"Hehe," Ji Mingkong smiled and said, "If we want to fight hard against the insect demon army head-on, of course this number is not enough, but there is only one thing we have to do, and that is to defend!"
"Shou?"
"That's right, I've sent the news of the insect plague through the messenger to ask the lord for help, as long as the reinforcements arrive, we can drive those insects back to the ground!"
"But......" Ji Mingkong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Before the reinforcements arrive, we must defend the city at all costs!"
"It turned out to be just a ...... defending the city"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and said one after another: "If it's just defending the city, then it shouldn't be a big problem!"
"Okay, next, I'm going to arrange the areas where each family is responsible for defense, and I hope everyone can work together to tide over the difficulties! The Liu family, the Ye family, and the Luo family are in charge of Dongcheng District, and the Tang family and the Leng family are ......."
Ji Mingkong calmly assigned the task, and everyone's expressions were narrow, keeping in mind that at this important juncture, no one dared to pick on him.
"As for Stardust Academy......"
Finally, Ji Mingkong looked at the old dean, and a deep groan flashed in his expression.
Seeing this, the old dean smiled slightly, and said, "City Lord Ji, my Stardust Academy is right in front of the Donglin Mountain Range, so let's use it as the first line of defense!"
