At this moment, Bo Mu and the other three Demon King stood on the Giant Demon's shoulders, facing off against the three Core Formation Realm experts from Absolute Sword City, in case they suddenly attacked and killed the Giant Demon.

The battlefield situation at Absolute Sword City is very favorable. Although Bai Jinglong has used all of their Thunderbolt Cannon, he is still unable to turn the tide of the battle. The two sides have now entered a war of attrition.

Thanks to the ranged support of the Throwing Otherworldly Demon and Giant Demon, their Otherworldly Demon army's attrition rate is now lower than that of the defenders of Absolute Sword City. Absolute Sword City has already lost more than 20,000 people, but the Otherworldly Demon has only lost more than 10,000.

"What did you say? Our supplies have been destroyed?"

Bo Mu's initially high spirits were instantly shattered by Bo Zhu's news.

"Yes! Less than 20% of this supply can probably be salvaged, and I also discovered a human stronghold on the mountain. They've set up arrays there, so we can't attack it at all."

Bo Zhu truthfully informed Bo Mu of the battle situation.

Bo Mu glanced at the favorable situation ahead and sighed.

"Retreat!"

If the fighting continues today, he should be able to wipe out another 10,000 or so defenders, although he himself might lose another 5,000 or 6,000 troops.

However, if this trend continues, his advantage will only grow stronger, and in about three days, he should be able to take over Absolute Sword City with overwhelming force.

However, the enemy's troop distribution is currently unclear, and he dares not gamble, fearing that further fighting might lead to other unforeseen events.

Following his command, under the cover of Throwing Otherworldly Demon, the Otherworldly Demon army retreated in an orderly fashion.

Although the retreat went smoothly, many Otherworldly Demon were still killed along the way, so this battle could only be considered a minor victory for the Otherworldly Demon.

At the Broken Blade Mountain, Chen Mu tallied the battle losses.

Only two Mobile Squad suffered relatively serious injuries and need to rest for a few days. The others only suffered minor injuries and can fight again after a night's rest.

In terms of kills, the Handheld Rune Cannon were the most effective, with several volleys hitting the center of the Otherworldly Demon infantry group. Including some scattered kills, they killed about four or five thousand Otherworldly Demon soldiers.

However, the biggest achievement this time was destroying the Otherworldly Demon ' transport vehicles and cutting off Otherworldly Demon supply lines.

Without supplies, the Otherworldly Demon cannot wage a prolonged war, which would greatly reduce the defensive pressure on Absolute Sword City.

The Otherworldly Demon army should be in a hurry now; they must take over Absolute Sword City as soon as possible, otherwise their army will soon lose its fighting capacity.

"Damn it! You're saying there were only three hundred-odd men attacking the military camp? How could three hundred-odd men have such devastating casualties?"

Back at the camp, Bo Mu and Bo Zhu learned roughly what had happened during the attack, and Bo Mu was furious.

"They're Rune Artifacts! The Rune Artifacts these people are using are incredibly powerful. The spheres they throw are as powerful as the Thunderbolt Cannon on the city walls, and they also have a type of projectile Rune Artifacts with terrifying individual lethality."

Bo Zhu explained nervously.

His face paled slightly. He knew he was largely to blame; if he hadn't been so careless, the consequences wouldn't have been so severe.

" Rune Artifacts? Could it be from the Heavenly Puppet Sect on the human side? But why would the Heavenly Puppet Sect help a small, remote town like Absolute Sword City?"

As the commander-in-chief of the attack on Absolute Sword City, Bo Mu was more sensitive to the situation and immediately thought of many things.

He immediately found someone to report the news of the special Rune Artifacts appearing in Absolute Sword City to his superiors.

" Bo Zhu, you're coming with me to Broken Blade Mountain. I'll leave this place to Mo Xiu."

Since Demon King had to stay behind to guard the main camp, Bo Mu had no choice but to leave the vanguard general Mo Xiu there while he led the other three Demon King to Broken Blade Mountain to investigate the situation.

"What? You actually blew up their supply trucks?"

That's wonderful! That's absolutely wonderful!

I will definitely report this victory to the imperial court and have you credited with a merit!

Chen Mu reported the results of the operation to Bai Jinglong via the communication jade tablet, which pleased Bai Jinglong greatly.

"Lord Bai, I estimate that after the Otherworldly Demon army retreats to its camp, their commander will soon lead several Demon King to Broken Blade Mountain to investigate. I urge you to come as soon as possible to protect our Sword Guardian Battalion."

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, he sensed a powerful magical fluctuation in the distance.

"Okay! Wait for me a moment, I'll take some men and head over there right now."

Although Bai Jinglong didn't have a telescope, he did have a magical artifact to monitor distant movements. However, this artifact had Spiritual Power fluctuations, making it easy for the other party to detect, unlike Chen Mu's telescope, which was completely undetectable.

However, now that the two armies are at war, he is openly monitoring the other side, making it difficult for them to conceal it. At this moment, he noticed that Demon King was taking off from the other side and immediately responded to Chen Mu.

"Thank you, Lord Bai!"

Chen Mu disconnected the communication jade token and immediately went to find Kong Yu to prepare together.

Elder Qing Xue also sensed the approaching aura of four King Level experts in the distance, and immediately took to the air, releasing her own aura.

Soon, two more Core Formation Realm experts from Absolute Sword City rose into the air and rushed towards Broken Blade Mountain.

Whew!

The four Demon King arrived first and struck almost simultaneously, eight enormous palms formed from demonic energy crashing down on the summit of Broken Blade Mountain.

Bang bang... Boom!

Elder Qing Xue unleashed a long red ribbon-like magical artifact, sweeping towards the eight demonic hands and blocking six of them. Only two demonic hands missed the ribbon and struck the protective array of Broken Blade Mountain.

The protective array's light barrier flashed and disappeared in an instant, like a leaf falling onto water, creating slight ripples but without shaking the array in the slightest.

Bo Mu frowned slightly upon seeing the effect of the attack, then glanced at the two powerful human warriors who were approaching from a distance.

"Go all out and break this formation!"

Although Bai Jinglong and his companion weren't far away, it would still take them several dozen breaths to arrive, which would be enough time for them to do a lot of things.

The four split up and each attacked Broken Blade Mountain in a different direction.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The red ribbon on Elder Qing Xue's body flew away and actually entangled a nearby Demon King, while she herself exchanged a few blows with Bo Mu. Although she was suppressed and at a disadvantage, she was not in any danger.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The other two Demon King relentlessly bombarded the formation set up by Chen Mu and Kong Yu.

Bo Zhu was one of the two Demon King attacking the formation. He was still attacking with all his might when he suddenly felt two extremely terrifying hidden weapons coming towards him.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The speed of these two forces terrified him, and he could no longer afford to attack. He used his strongest defensive technique, and his body turned into a cloud of nothingness.

Pfft! Pfft!

The bullet entered the fog, its momentum was gradually dissipated by the fog, and it eventually got stuck in the center of the fog.

Bo Zhu was secretly pleased and was about to throw away the bullet when it suddenly exploded.

boom...!
