Tired, sleepy, humiliated, and in pain, Dongfang He finally led his surviving brothers out of the darkness.
They also brought survival manuals with them, so their destination was the same as Xia Fan's. They were going to the Holy Spring City to find their legendary ally.
After Christie, who had the ability to enlarge and shrink, was seriously injured, Jia Yuntian took over the responsibility of scouting. The one responsible for bringing up the rear was another young descendant of the Demon Slayer family, Jia Lun.
"According to this simple map, we shouldn't be far from the Holy Spring City, right?"
"It's all thanks to Brother Dongfang. Without him, we definitely wouldn't be able to get out of this darkness."
"Let's see the real deal at the crucial moment. Haven't you noticed that even Jia Yuntian listens to Big Brother Dongfang now?"
His companions whispered. Dongfang He heard their conversation and complained in his heart.
Ever since he was a child, Dongfang He had always hoped to become a true leader, like all the heroes recorded in history books, leading the army and his brothers to create a career.
However, when Dongfang He really began to lead everyone, he realized how difficult it was to be a leader.
In Hidden Demon City, every time Dongfang He went out, he would always be surrounded by soldiers. In the mezzanine area, he had to rely on himself.
How to allocate personnel, who was on duty, how to treat the wounded, which path to avoid encountering the enemy, and if they encountered the enemy, whether to fight or retreat.
Every single order was related to the lives of his brothers. This responsibility was simply too great. Even Dongfang He, who was an outstanding figure among the younger generation, had been overwhelmed countless times. He really wanted to cry.
But he couldn't. He was the leader of this team. Anyone could complain, but Dongfang He couldn't. Anyone could complain, but Dongfang He couldn't. Even if the pain was torturing him to the point of insanity, he still had to stand up, encourage everyone, and pretend that everything was under control.
* Swish *
In the distance, Jia Yuntian finally returned from his scouting mission.
In just a few days, this thin guy had shed another layer of skin. Perhaps in this team, only he and Dongfang He were working as hard.
After all, the real scout was seriously injured, and Jia Yuntian, the main soldier, had shouldered the important responsibility of the scout.
The team was resting, and Jia Yuntian was scouting.
The team was advancing, and Jia Yuntian was scouting.
They had encountered the enemy and needed to find a way out immediately. They still had to rely on this skinny guy.
Fortunately, Jia Yuntian had a body full of tough bones. Dongfang He and him, the two leaders of the team, had held on, so the team had been able to survive until now.
"Brother Yun Tian!"
"You must be tired. Drink some water!"
When Jia Yuntian returned from his investigation, everyone immediately surrounded him and gave him a water bottle and a blanket. Someone even massaged his stiff muscles.
Dongfang He and Jia Yuntian exchanged their lives for this respect.
Although the people present were all friends who had grown up together, it was only on this day that they dared to say that they were friends who had gone through life and death together. This journey had truly been too arduous. Everyone had risked their lives and supported each other to reach this point.
"Brother Yuntian, how's the situation up ahead?"
After Jia Yuntian took a few breaths, Dongfang He asked. Although they were sworn enemies and rivals in love, at this moment, in the midst of battle, they actually felt a sense of mutual appreciation.
Jia Yuntian smiled bitterly. "I found Saint Spring City, but …"
"But what?"
"Saint Spring City is besieged by the army. There are tribes in the mezzanine area and the Demon King's Skeleton Legion. The situation looks very bad. They shouldn't be able to hold on for much longer."
"I don't know why, but Xia Fan and Nicai are not here. The main force defending the city is Fo You and a Water Elemental. As for the warriors of the Glimmer Clan, their role is very limited," Jia Yuntian said as briefly as possible.
"Water Elemental? The legendary elemental intelligent life? "Dongfang He was startled.
"Yes, his whole body is water, but he has the characteristics of life. I saw him from a distance. It's amazing. He can control all water, but the level of control is obviously higher than the superpower of water. It should be an innate talent of elemental life," Jia Yuntian said.
"Xia Fan and Nicai are not here? Have they left the city, or have they … "Dongfang He muttered, feeling very sad.
Jia Yuntian shook his head. "I don't know. We all know that Xia Fan and Fo You are good partners who never separate. But today, Xia Fan is not with Fo You."
Everyone was silent, guessing whether Nicai and Xia Fan had met with an accident.
Dongfang He gritted his teeth. "Brother Yuntian, do you want to take a break?"
"No need." Jia Yuntian shook his head. "I can still hold on."
"Alright, take us to Holy Spring City immediately!"
.....
Looking down from above, when everyone saw the situation of the battle in Holy Spring City, they couldn't help but gasp.
It was terrible.
It was really terrible.
The mezzanine area was the only city where the gentle people lived, but it was completely destroyed. Smoke filled the air, and corpses floated in the moat, layer after layer. Blood dyed the streets of the city red.
Outside the moat, the tribal warriors launched a strong attack. They jumped into the moat, held sharp knives in their mouths, and paddled with their arms. They quickly approached the city, making strange sounds.
These tribal warriors were like barbarians living in the jungle. They painted their faces with the blood of animals and even their companions. Some of them wore huge earrings and nose rings, looking ferocious and terrifying.
The dome of the city had collapsed, and huge rocks fell, creating deep pits. The Skeleton Army kept invading from the sky.
Those monsters, who didn't know pain and death, jumped into the city. The impact of the fall broke their legs, and they crawled on the ground with bone knives.
Some unlucky guys landed on the top of the buildings. Sharp protrusions pierced through their abdomens, but they didn't die. They screamed on the top of the buildings.
The Glimmering Light Clan, Fo You and Leng Yu, who were guarding the city, were exhausted.
The area they could defend was getting smaller and smaller, and they had been suppressed to near the central square.
Further back was the entrance of Holy Spring, where all the elderly and children of the Glimmering Light Clan were hidden.
Even the young and strong women had walked onto the battlefield, holding the swords they had picked up. More than ten people formed a group, and they clumsily fought against the incoming enemies.
Roar ~
Suddenly, a roar came from the sky. The first demonized Wyvern appeared on the battlefield. This was the signal for the general attack. The terrible creatures that had almost killed Xia Fan and Nicai had also arrived.
More and more black Wyverns flapped their wings, opened their sharp claws and fangs, and in the darkness, their eyes glowed with a bloody light.
This was the last moment. The city was about to be destroyed. Even if Fo You and Leng Yu joined forces, they couldn't continue to protect the poor Glimmering Light Clan.
Crack ~
Suddenly, Dongfang He stood up and pulled out a huge sword that flashed with a cold light. He was covered in wounds, and his combat uniform was covered in blood. It was as if he had just climbed out of a pile of dead people.
"Brother Dongfang, are we going to join the battle?" someone asked in surprise.
Even a fool could see that in the face of such a strong enemy, their forces were tantamount to putting out a cart of firewood with a cup of water. Even if they joined the battle, they could only perish together with the city.
Dongfang He sneered, "Is this even a damn question!?"
"Since when does the Demon Subduing Army have to consider whether or not to join the battle when they encounter the demons?"
The second and third people stood up and pulled out their weapons from behind their backs. They were as tired as Dongfang He and endured the great pain.
Suddenly ~
Dongfang He raised the blood-stained sword high, like a real general, signaling that he was about to launch the general attack.
"I know that everyone is tired and injured, and your wounds hurt.
"But please don't forget that we are the Demon Subduing Army, the descendants of the demon slayer!
"As long as we are alive, we will not live under the same sky as these guys!"
More people stood up, all of them!
A small team of a dozen or so young warriors was inconspicuous in this large-scale battle.
"Demon Subduing Army!"
"Charge!"
"Demon Subduing Army!"
"Charge!"
"Demon Subduing Army!"
"Charge!"
Dongfang He shouted three times, and his companions responded three times.
Then, this small team of a dozen people rushed down from the high ground. Everyone was bleeding, and everyone's eyes were bloodshot.
