Chapter 118 Siege
Just as they were getting angry, Huo Qubing's spear fell to the ground.
Boom~~
A deafening roar rang out. Everyone stared intently at the point where the spear clashed with the defensive formation.
Snap～～
A soft sound rang out.
A crack appeared on the defensive formation.
Subsequently, the cracks gradually spread throughout the entire defensive formation.
To the astonishment of the demons, the formation that had blocked the Iron Wolf Dynasty for thousands of years suddenly shattered.
"How can this be?"
"Meriko said in disbelief."
However, he didn't have time to think about it anymore.
Because the moment the defensive formation shattered, a deluge of arrows rained down.
"Roar~~"
"Ah~~"
All sorts of screams immediately echoed throughout the Demon Suppression City.
The defenses of ordinary demons were simply no match for the rain of arrows falling from the sky.
The demons' bodies were pierced through the moment they made contact.
The spiritual energy attached to the rain of arrows exploded the moment it entered the body.
These demons didn't even have a chance to be saved.
Under the rain of arrows from the elite Imperial Guards, all beings are equal.
Moreover, the Demon Suppression City is home to millions of demons, who have almost completely occupied the city.
Even if you wanted to hide, there wasn't enough space.
Morricone deflected an arrow, his face grim. This volley of arrows had killed at least 100,000 demons.
If a few more waves come, even with their large numbers of demons, they won't have enough to kill!
"Marshal, no, without the defensive formation, we are no match for this human army. Let's retreat!"
A demon tribe leader approached Moriko and spoke with a solemn expression.
Morricone's eyes turned into vertical pupils as he stared intently at Huo Qubing in mid-air.
He had realized that this human's strength was definitely above the Void Refinement Realm.
They are simply not a force to be reckoned with.
They thought they could keep the human race out of the Demon Suppression City with just a formation, and they even mocked Huo Qubing.
Looking back now, it's kind of ridiculous.
Perhaps, in the eyes of those humans, these demons are the real clowns!
"withdraw!"
Even though Morricone was unwilling, he had no choice but to issue the order to retreat.
However, with so many demons, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw in a short period of time.
Therefore, only the tribal leaders could lead their elite troops to retreat first, while the ordinary soldiers stayed behind to cover the rear.
The most urgent task now is to preserve our strength.
Discard those with weak cultivation and preserve those with strong cultivation.
Competition among demons is far more intense than among humans.
If all the high-level combatants in a tribe perish, it won't be long before the entire tribe is swallowed up by other tribes.
Compared to them, the ordinary clansmen were dispensable.
"General, those high-ranking members of the demon race are trying to escape!"
Outside the city, a commander of the Imperial Guard noticed the actions of Morricone and his men and spoke up to remind them.
Huo Qubing nodded, then looked at Murong Haoxuan beside him and said, "General Murong, I'm entrusting you with a task. I wonder if you have the confidence to complete it..."
Upon hearing Huo Qubing's words, Murong Haoxuan was first taken aback, then a look of joy appeared on his face. He clasped his hands and said, "General, please give your orders. Murong Haoxuan will absolutely complete the mission. If I fail to complete the mission, this humble general is willing to be punished according to military law..."
Although he had already participated in battles, Murong Haoxuan was not satisfied.
He longed to lead his troops into battle on his own, and now was the opportunity.
"Very well, I will give you ten thousand troops to go and stop the demon race's high-ranking officials. Capture them alive if you can, and if you can't, then kill them without mercy..."
Huo Qubing said in a deep voice.
"Here!"
Murong Haoxuan excitedly accepted the order and immediately went to mobilize the army.
Before long, the 10,000-strong army broke away from the main force and headed towards the rear of the Demon-Suppressing City.
Huo Qubing watched the departing army and murmured, "Don't disappoint me, and don't betray His Majesty's trust in you..."
Subsequently, Huo Qubing once again organized a large army to massacre the demons in the Demon-Suppressing City.
Without the defensive formations, the walls of Zhenyao City alone could not stop the advance of the Imperial Guards cavalry.
Soon, the battle broke out in the Demon-Suppressing City.
Without the command of the high-ranking officers, the demon army was like a pile of loose sand, unable to put up any effective resistance.
They could only let the elite Imperial Guards slaughter them.
However, because there were simply too many demons, even with the strength of the elite Imperial Guards, it would take a considerable amount of time to wipe them all out.
Huo Qubing stood atop the Demon-Suppressing City, gazing indifferently at the carnage below.
His eyes remained completely expressionless.
That's how the world works: the strong prey on the weak. If you're weak, you'll be slaughtered by the strong. And if you don't want to be slaughtered, there's only one way: be strong enough yourself.
.........
the other side.
Murong Haoxuan, leading 10,000 elite Imperial Guards, quickly caught up with the fleeing Molik and his men.
At this moment, they were accompanied only by a demon army of about 100,000.
But these armies are all elite forces, handpicked from millions of troops.
It is their guarantee of survival.
"Marshal, a human army has caught up with us!"
One of the generals next to Morricone glanced back and saw the Imperial Guards pursuing them.
Morricone also glanced back and discovered that the other side only had ten thousand men.
A bold plan naturally formed in my mind.
If they can't handle an army of 100,000 humans, are they really incapable of even handling 10,000?
Although the strength of these 10,000 soldiers was all above the Golden Core stage, their 100,000 demon soldiers were all elites.
There are also quite a few at the Golden Core stage, totaling more than seven thousand.
These are all the Golden Core experts among the millions of demons in the army.
Even against a human army of ten thousand, victory is not impossible.
The Golden Core experts fought one-on-one, while the remaining 90,000-plus troops besieged more than 2,000 Golden Core experts.
In addition, these tribal leaders have won on a much larger scale.
These tribal leaders all possess cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage.
He himself possessed the cultivation level of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
Upon realizing this, Morricone immediately ordered a halt to the retreat and the formation of troops to meet the enemy.
When Murong Haoxuan saw the demon race stop, he did not order the Imperial Guards to halt. Instead, he quickened his pace and charged into the enemy's formation before they could even form a proper battle array.
The Imperial Guards were all cavalry, and speed was their advantage.
Murong Haoxuan led the elite Imperial Guards, charging left and right, directly splitting the demon army in two.
However, the demon race reacted very quickly.
Using their numerical advantage and sacrificing their comrades' lives, they slowed down the speed of the Imperial Guards.
They thought that without their speed advantage, the opponent would have no choice but to fight them head-on.
However, they soon realized they were wrong because even without the speed advantage, they were still being overwhelmed by the elite Imperial Guards.
Moreover, they discovered that these human soldiers were extremely powerful, and even at the same level, they were no match for them.
It often takes two or even three of them to barely hold their own against the elite Imperial Guards for several rounds.
