The First Demon Siege

Iron Blood City recruited more than fifty thousand impoverished civilians within three days.

As the saying went, wealth and honor were sought amid danger.

They received the same treatment as the soldiers defending the city. If they performed well, they could later be incorporated into the City Guards. Moreover, they would not have to leave the city to fight demons at close quarters—they only needed to shoot arrows from the city walls.

If they survived this Innate Tribulation, they would have homes, wealth, and everything else.

These impoverished civilians had no money to travel to the great cities of the Void, so they could only huddle within Iron Blood City.

If Iron Blood City fell, they would be dead anyway.

They might as well join the army defending the city.

When demons pressed upon the border, it was still these impoverished civilians who could live and die alongside Iron Blood City.

The Wind and Rain Demon Hunting Group and the Tyrant Dragon Demon Hunter Group sent quite a few people to train these civilians.

They mainly trained them in the use of bows and arrows.

During the training, some who were strong and accurate quickly stood out, becoming captains of ten-man or hundred-man squads.

Those with exceptional strength were responsible for operating the ballistae atop the city walls.

Thanks to the powerful manufacturing capabilities of the Demon God Hall and Martial God Hall in the Divine Land, there were more bows and arrows than they could ever use up.

Even now, the Divine Land was still rushing to produce silver-plated arrows.

They had also manufactured many Sky-Shaking Thunders loaded with silver pellets.

That morning, the Black Mist outside Iron Blood City churned.

Within the Black Mist, demon figures flickered in and out of sight.
