Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Calm Before the Storm

News of the Demon Slayer's victory on the Rainforest Frontier quickly spread throughout the ruins of Jikul.

This encouraging news is very heartening for all the survivors of the Harbour of Kurast.

Even the rare smiles on the faces of those who were still reeling in the grief of losing their loved ones burst into cheers throughout the sewers of the ruins of Jikul.

According to information sent by the frontline commander, General Hodge, the Demon Slayer Legion is marching all the way to the depths of the rainforest along the route of the retreat of the Hell army, and the fox wolves, who have lost a large number of troops, can only take advantage of the complex terrain of the jungle to barely stop them with the remnants of the evil pact and the demon legion.

This means that the port of Kurast has lost all opportunities for foreign aid, and the next thing for the council guard is to cut off the land passage between Trivank and the port of Kurast, and then launch a general attack on the port of Kurast.

Xue Hua's swarm had already laid out a large number of hidden insect nests in the underground of the rainforest, and these insect nests were linked together through a network of tunnel insects, ready to cooperate with the professionals to intercept the demonic reinforcements sent from Cui Vanke.

Now that all the counteroffensive matters are ready, the countdown to the reconquest of the seaport of Kurast has been officially announced.

In the sewers of the ruins of Jikur, in the secret room where the holy relic is stored Jidebin, except for Nataya, who has not yet returned, all the other professional and legendary powerhouses gather here to discuss the upcoming general attack on the seaport of Kurast.

"The soldiers are fast, the news of the defeat on the battlefield on the Rainforest Frontier must have reached Trivank by now, and we must launch an assault on the harbor of Kurast before the army of Hell can react!"

With a resolute countenance and the smell of war and iron blood, the commander-in-chief of the legion was clearly prepared for a bloody battle.

"It's true, the Hell portal in the harbor of Kurast has been providing assistance to the demon defenders in the city, and it will be very disadvantageous for us to drag it any longer."

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Marion also nodded, agreeing with Okaso's opinion.

"The battle is coming, and we must make sure we get the job done, or the demons won't give us another chance.

And not only that, we also have to ensure a quick victory, the Demon Slayer Legion has driven a large number of demon stragglers into the jungle, there are also a large number of demon reinforcements in the direction of Trivank, and the monster clusters in the entire jungle should not be underestimated, so this time we must be fully prepared to attack. ”

The legendary electric law Brandt frowned cautiously, he felt that the current situation had not been completely stabilized, and he was afraid that the enemy would take advantage of it if he launched an attack immediately.

"There is no doubt about it, the power of the demon army is not to be underestimated, but we are not alone!"

Farah turned his head to glance at Xue Hua, who looked leisurely, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Hearing his words, a group of legendary powerhouses moved their eyes to Xue Hua.

"Don't look at me, my swarm can take part in the fight at any time, it's up to you to start when you start." Xue Hua shook his head and said.

"Our homeland is groaning at the feet of demons, and the filthy power of hell continues to erode the life of this jungle.

Sooner rather than later, recapture Kurast now, and we have a chance to heal its wounds! ”

Omars stepped out from behind the stone pillar where Gidbin was placed, and set the final tone with a serious expression.

"Time to prepare for the last day, then... Okaso-sama, I'll leave everything to you. ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Omas, those hellish bastards will soon pay for their crimes!" Ocasso licked the corners of his mouth bloodthirstily, his eyes glowing with frenzy and longing.

As soon as the time for the counterattack was determined to be early in the morning, everyone in Jikur was immediately busy.

Magical craftsmen led by Hera Tieli began to work hard to create consumables such as arrows and crossbow arrows, and Reshander and Eco also led a large number of apprentices to make various potions in batches with the help of the two legendary mages of Drognam and Farah.

Asila, Marion, and Okasso gathered in front of the map to finalize the battle plan, while Finn, Evan, Brant, and Sothia followed Xue Hua to familiarize themselves with the swarm's tunnel insect network.

Finn and Evan are the two legendary assassins who will be the main force to intercept Trivank's reinforcements after the battle, while Brant uses the high mobility of the electric method to do rapid reaction support, his original prototype is the skill type, and the original enhanced skill is "Thunderstorm", this original prototype makes him very good at dealing with large groups of enemy targets in open spaces without shelter.

Sothia, because she didn't know how to fly, was chosen to lead the frontal attack of the Parliamentary Guard on land.

It just so happened that Sothia also had a military background in the Westmar Holy Cult, and she was familiar with tactical planning and command skills.

All four of them need to be especially vigilant in the direction of Cui Vanke, so that they can respond accordingly in time if something goes wrong.

In terms of insect swarms, after Xue Hua informed Zagala of the specific time of the attack, the shadow insects and mimic chicks in the jungle began to quickly increase the intensity of their activities.

Many Demon Patrols and Colonies have been covertly uprooted with the help of the Node King Worm, and these vanishing colonies and patrols will be "played" by the Mimic Chicks.

At the behest of Zagara, some of the mother worms in the hidden hive also used small groups of jumping worms and cockroach troops to try to carry out tentative attacks on the Demon Legion's Evil Pact outposts in the Zuraka River Valley, while the infected also used their stealth ability to follow the raiding force, supporting the attack while also looking for opportunities to use neuroparasitic skills to capture the Evil Pact captives.

As a result of the swarm's actions, the entire rainforest began to fall into a state of restlessness, but the Kurast Harbour and the surrounding jungle area were not disturbed in the slightest, and even the occasional shadow bugs and mimic chicks that had tried to sneak into the city stopped.

The entire seaport of Kurast was as calm as a tomb, but under this calm, a huge pressure like a black cloud crushing the city quickly appeared in the hearts of the evil pact defenders.

"The calm before the storm... Let those pieces of shit keep me on guard! The counteroffensive of the parliamentary eagle dog is estimated to be in the past few days! ”

At the head of the city of Kurast Harbor, a necromancer with a dark gold mask on his face glanced coldly at the strange jungle under the gloomy sky outside the city, and then turned around and yelled at the black-robed Evil Pact on the side.

"It's... Be! The black-robed evil deed man answered, and ran away without saying a word.

"Why are you so mean to your subordinates... They're actually quite cute~" An extremely charming voice came from the staircase at the head of the city, and a female assassin wearing a black leather coat that could barely cover important parts stepped out of the shadows.

This woman's appearance is very charming, and she belongs to the type that makes men want to pounce on them at a glance.

Moreover, she also has long pink hair that is extremely eye-catching for an assassin, and her delicate figure, delicate and bewitching face, and this long hair that exudes the breath of qingyu make her whole person exude an extremely deadly allure.

"Demon girl, don't talk to me in that coquettish voice, you and I both know that those of my subordinates would rather be scolded by me as pigs' heads than sucked by you."

The necromancer glanced back at the female assassin with a hint of covert contempt in her eyes.

"Humph! I really don't know what the Demon God has taken a fancy to you, and you actually let you, a rib monster, be the commander-in-chief of the Kurast Harbor! ”

The female assassin's perception was very acute, and although there was only a trace of contempt in the necromancer's eyes, she still detected it.

What this woman hates most in her life is that others look down on her, so she immediately went crazy and fought with the necromancer like a wheat.

"Enough! I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you today, so if you have the energy, give me more to inspect the walls by the river!" ”

The necromancer's brow under the mask furrowed and he wanted to go crazy, but in the end, for some reason, he suddenly lost the nature of arguing with his companions, and instead turned around and continued to stare at the rainforest outside the city.

For some reason, his premonition of this siege was very bad, and he had a terrifying sense of imminent death.
