Chapter 867: The Demon Army Siege the City
The gate of the royal capital, people come and go, as always, the river is endless, the farmers who carry firewood, the convoy of merchants, and the people of the rivers and lakes who sell their arts, come and go in a hurry, and also make a lot of money for the city gate guards.
Although most of the land has been lost, you can often hear sighs or impassioned anti-demon remarks in the restaurant, but for ordinary people, this kind of thing is too far away after all, not to mention that the king is located in the rear, no matter how rampant the demon clan is, it is necessary to attack the city one by one from the beginning of the front line, otherwise if you insist on being greedy for merit, it is easy to be cut off from the back road, surrounded and strangled - those demon clan powerhouses may not be afraid, but ordinary demon clans have become there is no return.
But on this day that was no different from yesterday, someone noticed that there was a black shadow in the distant sky that was rapidly approaching, with a somewhat ominous smell.
"Is it going to be a thunderstorm? But the clouds are drifting a little too fast. โ
The prison officer raised his head suspiciously, although he was not as good as those true cultivators, but he was somewhat cultivated, so he subconsciously condensed his eyes and looked into the distance, and then he saw a fierce and hideous face.
"Thisโthis is ...... Demons, demons are attacking the city! Quickly, quickly close the city gate, notify the Imperial City Division, and open the city protection array!"
The situation was urgent, and the prison officer didn't care about why the demon clan would suddenly attack the royal capital, and hurriedly gave an order, those who were still at the gate of the city, too late to retreat and unwilling to retreat, and desperately squeezed into the city, were all beaten out by the officers and soldiers, and forcibly closed the city gate.
All the generals in the city who cultivated their bodies, as well as those Taoist elders who invited helpers, also came to the city wall to help in the battle.
It's just that the city protection array has not been opened for a long time.
"What's the matter, why haven't you opened the formation yet, the demon clan is about to attack the city! What are the people of the Imperial City Division doing, they won't still think about filial piety at this time, this is a life-threatening matter!"
As he spoke, a goose-egg-shaped colorful curtain appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire king, but the prison officer did not feel relieved, but was even more puzzled: "How is the strength of this great array of city protectors much weaker than before?"
"Report! The Imperial City Division sent someone to report, the Imperial Palace suddenly opened the palace guarding array, draining most of the spiritual energy, and the city protection array was only afraid that it would not be able to support it for too long, and I hope that the guards of the major city gates will be ready to break the formation. โ
"What bullshit! He can also say such dereliction of duty, the city protection array is broken, and the people of the whole city will suffer, could it be that the Imperial City Division thinks that he can stay out of the matter?"
Spit and scolding broke out at the city gates everywhere, but there was nothing to do, and I could only complain in my heart that the people in the palace were a group of ghosts who were afraid of death, and now that the enemy had not yet hit the door, he actually thought about abandoning the car to protect the commander, regardless of the life and death of their group of soldiers and the people of the city.
But their insults can't change anything, seeing that the cloud-like demon clan army is getting closer and closer, they can't care about anything else, and they are ready to fight to the death.
......
"Demon Clan Invasion?
When Luo Feng heard the two pieces of news at first glance, he suddenly wondered in his heart, the demon clan's behavior of marching directly to the royal capital was too reckless, and today's Son of Heaven is not a timid and fearful person, why is he in such a hurry to start the big array?
He was busy using the future constellation method to calculate, although he only got some vague clues, but combined with what the emperor said a few days ago, as well as the rebellion of Yang Pojun at the beginning, many possible inferences jumped into his mind.
"Confident that he can capture the royal capital in one fell swoop, based on this, the behavior of the demon clan makes sense, and in turn, it can be considered that someone deliberately let the demon clan have such 'confidence'. According to the clues, there are strong men fighting in the palace, and the vitality is violent, combined with the signs of the previous days...... What Yang Pojun did was a bitter plan, well, this emperor is really not a mediocre person, he dared to set up such a desperate layout, if he didn't succeed, he would become benevolent, and even his granddaughter and family treasures could be thrown out as bait, it was really an emperor's trick......"
Luo Feng already has a rough outline of the layout of this emperor in his heart, although the strategy is not clever, but it is enough to deal with the demon clan who have never been good at conspiracy, not to mention that the key to the success of this plan lies in whether the bait thrown is enough, not how complicated the links are, and the strategy that can successfully deceive the opponent is the best strategy.
"To say that he has no family affection for the county lord, but it is not true, otherwise he would not need to ask me to protect the good person that day, but for him, there are more important things, for which others can be sacrificed, even if the family affection, it becomes insignificant, such a person is not qualified to be an elder, but as the king of a country, he is a son. โ
Luo Feng looked up into the distance, countless birds of the demon clan had arrived in the royal capital, and they launched an offensive one after another, each with their own magic weapons, and the big array of the city protector rippled in a circle, and the Taoist priests and generals at the head of the city also relied on the formation to counterattack, and from time to time the corpses of the demon clan fell from mid-air.
As the city's protective array in the royal capital, even if the power is reduced to forty percent of normal times because of a large amount of spiritual energy, it is still not a problem to resist the attack of ordinary demon clans, and according to the current attack intensity, it is not difficult to last for a day and a night.
But the attack of the demon clan obviously does not stop there, otherwise where would they have the confidence to break through the city?
I saw that many fowl demons in the sky suddenly stopped attacking, and then neatly separated to both sides, as if to welcome the arrival of big people, and sure enough, there were four demon kings with refining period cultivation who appeared from it, and they did not shout a few words before making a move like the generals in the world, but directly showed the original appearance of the demon body and launched a fierce offensive.
One of them has a horse's body and a human face, its whole body is covered with tiger stripes, and it has wings on its back, not the legendary Biao, but a heroic move, and its body is wrapped with a gentle whirlwind, even if it is not the cultivation system of Yuzhou, it still naturally grasps the power of the avenue of wind.
One is like a bee, but the body is huge, the wings are spread out to be ten zhang long, and the wings of bird feathers, not the thin wings of insects, the body is also more aggressive, its demon name is Qin Yuan, and the magic driven contains the power of the poisonous avenue, even if there is a large barrier to the city, there are still a few poisonous gases penetrating in, and the people who come into contact with it instantly turn into a white bone, and there is no resistance at all.
A whole body feathers red, as if stained with blood, with nine heads, flying like a chariot rolling, where it passes, the nearby light is absorbed by it, into a pitch-black space, its demon name is ghost car, only to see nine bird heads open their mouths, spit out nine fat baby girls, these baby girls eyes are two black evil fire, fat face without a trace of blood, at this time their open small mouths show sharp fangs, let out unknown crying and laughing piercing sound, this sound is completely not human can make, so that the soldiers at the head of the city are also shuddering when they hear itใ
The last demon king is like a crane, but only one wing, its whole body is blue, but it has red spots, and it makes a beeping sound when it flies, like the sound of trees spontaneously combusting and brittle, and leaves a little trace of sparks in the void that passes by, its demon name is Bi Fang, it is the spirit of the avenue of fire, just looking at her, there is a scorching breath rising from the abdominal cavity.
The four demon kings shot at the same time, and the power of various avenues complemented each other, even if they did not cooperate with each other, with a strong foundation, they also made the city protection array crumbling, and there were traces of depression from time to time, even people who did not understand the formation could see that the formation alone could not support it for too long.
If you want to fight against the demon king in the refining period, it is best to fight with the great master of refining the void, but no matter how the general who guards the city sends someone to urge, or even ignites a beacon fire to send a distress message to the palace, it is all in the sea, and there is no response.
"If the inference is not wrong, the great masters of the refining period should all fight with the demon emperor under the palace, and the importance of that battlefield is even higher than this side, even if the royal capital is broken, as long as the demon emperor is killed, it can be regarded as a great success, and the advantage of the future war will fall to the side of the human race. โ
Luo Feng already decided in his heart that it was a matter of time before the royal capital was destroyed, unless the palace could end the battle as much as possible, come out with the head of the demon emperor, and scare off the demon army, but there were many generals and cultivators in the city, and there was no shortage of masters, even if there was no great master of refining the void, there were many grandmasters in the merger period, such as the palace of the three princes raised two guests in the merger period, and the demon clan wanted to completely capture the royal capital, and they didn't want to do it without a fight for tens of hours.
"The key is still those demon kings, as long as they are killed, the city protection array can last for many more hours. โ
Luo Feng quickly made a judgment, and found Tu Bailing, Huang Quan, and Si Jingji, and wanted to start a beheading operation.
