Ye Li learned about the combat strength of the guards during the battle, most of them were ordinary sergeants and squad leaders, and they were cultivators in the middle and late stages of the séance period, while a small number of people and squadron leaders were cultivators in the gestation period.

The reason why the strength of an ordinary sergeant is higher than that of a squad leader is that in addition to the strength requirement, there is also a requirement for contribution.

There are many sergeants who have been sent directly by their own families to experience, so they have not stayed here for a long time, so even if they are strong, they do not have much contribution, and it is difficult to hold any positions.

After that, the captains all have the cultivation of the Yuan Fetal Stage, and their strength is very strong, and the general leader is even more of a master of the Void God Stage.

On the side of the demon beasts, in fact, the strength is not much stronger than that of the human side.

Most of the demon beasts among them are cultivators in the séance period, a small part are in the gestation and primordial fetal stages, and there is none in the void god stage.

After all, as the Sun Swallowing said before, the Soul Control Worm has no ability to control the demon beasts of the Void God Stage at all, so the army of demon beasts is only in the Yuan Fetal Stage at the highest.

Moreover, the higher the level of the demon beast, the less the number of soul control insects that the mother can control the sub-body, so in addition to the overall number of demon beasts being slightly more than that of humans, the comprehensive strength is actually not much stronger than that of humans.

It's just that after humans got used to the original attack methods of demon beasts, they suddenly encountered an army of demon beasts that knew strategy and tactics, and it was a little difficult to adapt for a while, so they were caught off guard and fled in defeat.

Now that I have adapted to the other party, I understand the weaknesses of the demon beast army, and if I fight again, it will not be so easy to be suppressed.

In particular, Ye Li's existence can instantly weaken most of the strength of the demon beasts.

He was personally protected by the chief leader, breaking through the barriers of other demon beasts, and directly attacking the soul control insect descendants who controlled the demon beasts of the primordial fetal stage.

When Ye Li's divine sense power was completely full, he would be able to deal with five soul control insect descendants at one time.

Each of these subgeny can control a demon beast in the primordial fetal stage, so almost in one face, Ye Li can solve the five demon beasts in the primordial fetal stage, as well as a number of demon beasts in the gestation period or the séance period, greatly cleaning up the high-level strength of the demon beasts, allowing humans to occupy a lot of advantages in battle.

The situation of the whole battle began to show a one-sided trend, and the guards began to save and gather the men who had been divided before, and after three days of accumulation, they had swept away all areas near the fortress.

At this time, the surviving guards had almost been completely collected back, and under the might, plus the disciples of the Imperial City who came to report later, there were as many as nine hundred.

Of course, these people are already much less than the previous guards, and the previous fort, plus the guards in the surrounding camps, a total of about 2,000 people, is now considered to be more than half.

However, it is already a great luck to be able to find so many people again, without Ye Li's help, the guards are likely to be completely wiped out.

After all, at the beginning of this rescue operation, it was started by Ye Li and the three of them saving the remaining four people, and finally the number of people rolled to about 900 like a snowball.

For this, the sergeants of the guard army, after learning about the situation, looked at Ye Li's eyes, and they were also full of gratitude.

After three days of getting along, the guards also knew Ye Li's name and surname, and with the intention of making friends, they and Ye Li were also familiar with each other.

Many of the guards were not disciples of the Imperial City, but from other big forces, so Ye Li completely entered the eyes of the children of many big forces, and his reputation spread.

After sweeping the perimeter of the fortress thoroughly, the guards had determined that it was almost impossible for there to be any more lone people nearby, so they finally stopped the search and rescue, and began to assemble, heading towards the valley where the mother body of the soul control insect was located before.

Although from the map, the location of this valley is only less than three miles away from the fortress, but after all, this is a mountain area, and it is impossible to walk in a straight line through it.

Standing on a cliff, everyone could see the situation in the valley crypt at a glance, and after seeing many high-level demon beasts infested, they finally confirmed Ye Li's speculation that this was indeed the place where the soul control insect mothers gathered.

According to the information provided by Swallowing Sun to Ye Li, a soul control insect mother can control up to two primordial fetal demon beasts, plus three fertile demon beasts, plus a number of séance demon beasts.

Then the mother bodies of the soul control insects here are at least more than ten, and as for the soul control insect descendants, there are countless of them.

Judging by the current strength of the Guards, it will be difficult to storm this area.

After some temptation, the guards couldn't enter the valley at all, and the only thing they could do was to limit the movement of the monsters as much as possible.

But then they discovered that the strength of the demon beasts was constantly increasing, and the reason was that a new batch of eggs of the soul control insect mother had hatched.

At the same time as the number of soul control insects that had been killed by everyone before recovered, they secretly infiltrated the Qilin Ridge and re-recruited a large number of high-level demon beasts, greatly increasing the number of demon beasts before.

After all, the initial number of demon beast armies was more than the current one, otherwise how could they capture the guards with two thousand spirit rune masters.

After the demon beast army gradually began to regain its strength, the pressure on the guards' side increased dramatically, and they gradually began to be unable to resist the attacks of the demon beasts, and they soon could no longer control this valley.

The monsters also seem to be waiting for a general attack, with the difference in absolute strength, to destroy the humans in front of them in one fell swoop.

The commander-in-chief and the captains were all full of sadness at this time, and the current battle situation was really unfavorable for them.

Ye Li's role at this time had almost completely been lost, and in front of such a huge army of demon beasts, his attack was completely a drop in the bucket and had no effect.

Just when the faces of the group were full of sadness, suddenly in the sky behind them, there was a strange sound, five spiritual yuan lights shone, and five old men wearing elder robes fell from the sky and fell in front of the guards in an instant.

The moment they saw these people, everyone's faces, including the commander-in-chief, showed joy.

"It's finally here, reinforcements are finally here!"

Huang Jian stood next to Ye Li and whispered, his eyes full of excitement.

Ye Li saw the arrival of the five people, and his face was also full of shock.

The spirit rune masters who can use the spirit yuan to fly are at least the cultivators of the spirit stage, and these five elders are the real masters of the spirit rune masters.
