There is still one hour until midnight.
now.
The sky had completely darkened.
Dark Demon energy is already surrounding Xingning City.
It could erupt at any moment!
On the east city wall.
The soldiers defending the city stood in their positions, their faces resolute.
Although the city walls were already dilapidated from several attacks by beast tides.
But the soldiers defending the city still stood tall and straight!
For them, there are the people and their families behind them.
To prevent those he cared about from being swallowed by the beast horde.
To protect Xingning City and prevent widespread destruction.
Although they know they are not strong enough, they will use their own bodies to build Great Wall of flesh and blood on this city wall!
Build the first line of defense!
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai frowned slightly.
"These soldiers are either wounded or exhausted; their fighting strength is probably less than half."
Zhongchang Gong glanced at Ye Qiubai and said, "Don't have any unnecessary sympathy. Our mission is simply to kill three Divine General- level Devil Beast."
Ye Qiubai replied, "We should find an opportunity to kill them while we are defending the city."
Zhongchang Gong frowned and said, "What if Lan Hai and the others seize the initiative?"
Xiao Hei glanced at Zhongchang Gong and said calmly, "If the city walls are breached and the beast tide breaks through, it will be even more difficult to deal with the Divine General- level Devil Beast."
"I'm the captain now!" Zhongchang Gong said with a gloomy face, "For us, completing the mission is all that matters; what happens afterward is none of our concern!"
Xiao Hei wanted to say something, but Ye Qiubai stopped him.
Zhongchang Gong seemed to be getting a little impatient about the bet with Lan Hai.
Moreover, Zhongchang Gong's motives were not pure to begin with.
At times like these, persuasion is futile.
Why defend against the beast tide before killing the Divine General level Devil Beast?
Under the surge of Dark Demon energy, the Devil Beast, already irrational after being corrupted, relentlessly attacked the city walls and invaded Xingning City, further amplified in all aspects.
In this situation, if the beast tide can be contained...
Therefore, Divine General- level Devil Beast would not concentrate all their firepower on them.
All we need is to spare some people to help guard the city walls.
It relied on the partial defense of the city wall.
The best option is to wait for an opportunity to launch an attack on Devil Beast.
If you rush out and attack Divine General- level Devil Beast beast, the consequence will not only be that you will be attacked by the Divine General- level Devil Beast with all your might, but you will also be surrounded and attacked by the surrounding beast horde!
No one could bear the consequences at that time!
The area surrounding Xingning City was gradually filled with Dark Demon energy.
The space seemed to boil, with demonic energy surging continuously!
Everyone looked towards the outside of the city walls.
His expression gradually became serious.
They know.
Midnight is approaching!
Sudden.
The earth began to tremble!
The entire city wall of Xingning City began to tremble.
Large amounts of gravel and dust continuously slid down from the city wall.
The only moonlight in the sky was also obscured by the Dark Demon aura.
Darkness enveloped the earth.
It's unclear who shouted it.
" Firelight Array, activate!"
In an instant, a huge cluster of flames roared across the entire Xingning City!
Illuminate Xingning City.
The ordinary people in Xingning City looked up at the sky and saw this cluster of flames, their faces filled with fear.
But his eyes were filled with a longing for life.
Some devout people even clasp their hands to their chests and kneel on the ground.
It was as if this raging fire was their only hope.
The moment the flames disappeared.
When darkness completely engulfed the city.
That's when hope disappears...
This moment.
Ye Qiubai and the others, including the soldiers, all looked into the distance.
There, a black line was rushing towards them.
Beyond the black line, there was only dust filling the air!
The closer they got, the more violently Xingning City trembled.
Soon, a dark mass of demonic Devil Beast could be seen sweeping in like a vast ocean with raging waves!
During the tremor.
Accompanied by a deafening roar!
When the beast tides on three sides of Xingning City roared simultaneously.
Even the heavens trembled!
Watching this scene unfold.
Xiao Hei's gaze was solemn.
This is only what they call a small-scale beast tide.
How terrifying would a massive beast tide be?
This demonstrates just how powerful the influence of Dark Demon energy is.
The Dark Demon energy grew even stronger.
The energy within Xiao Hei's body became increasingly turbulent, and suppressing it alone required a great deal of effort from Xiao Hei.
At this moment.
The defending general roared, "Everyone, prepare to fight!"
"Behind us lies Xingning City. If these Devil Beast breach this defense and trample over your bodies, think of your loved ones, think of the people!"
Under the general's loud roar.
All the soldiers roared in unison!
There is no Spiritual Qi energy involved.
Yet, at this moment, it appeared extremely tragic.
And the dark, swarming beasts were drawing ever closer.
The general let out a loud roar!
"Draw the bow!"
Immediately, the soldiers in the back row stepped forward, holding stone bows and drawing them to their full length.
As the arrow gleamed with sharpness, a cluster of golden flames rose from it!
This is a special arrow, imbued with a wisp of sacred fire.
It can effectively suppress Dark Demon energy!
"Put!"
As the general gave the order.
The arrow shot off into the horde of beasts!
The sky was filled with golden arrows of fire, which, when looked up, resembled countless stars in the dark sky.
A single spark can start a prairie fire!
The rocket landed.
The Devil Beast in the front row let out a miserable howl and collapsed.
Although he did not die.
But the beast tide behind did not stop at all, and charged forward, trampling over the fallen Devil Beast in front!
The general, witnessing this, revealed a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Keep drawing the bow, and release!"
Round after round of golden flaming arrows killed countless Devil Beast.
But.
The beast tide is called a beast tide.
It was because there were so many Devil Beast, like waves crashing one after another, without any pause in between!
Therefore, the Devil Beast continued to approach the city walls at an extremely fast speed!
When the enemy was at the city gates.
The general then ordered the archers to retreat and provide support from the rear.
"Don't let the Devil Beast attack the city walls!"
Immediately, he drew his sword and unleashed a powerful Sword Qi strike!
War is imminent!
Seeing this, Zhongchang Gong remained unusually calm and said, "Don't rush, conserve your strength, and focus on the center of the beast tide."
There, two enormous tiger-shaped Devil Beast were slowly walking towards this direction!
The aura emanating from it was extremely terrifying!
Dark Demon energy surrounded him in large quantities!
These are the two Divine General- level Devil Beast.
"Once the beast tide's power continues to weaken and they get closer, we'll attack together," Zhongchang Gong commanded.
But.
The moment Zhongchang Gong finished speaking.
Beside him.
A myriad of Immortal Sword Sword Intent soared into the sky, filling this space!
The power of talismans, the power of thunder, and the power of formations rose into the air simultaneously!
