The Final Confrontation
Dusk approached.
The demons in the sky hadn't made a single move. As time passed, they lost their initial fervor. Instead, they began to slack off, stare blankly, or whisper to the people around them.
It was like beating a drum in ancient times.
The first drumbeat of energy, the second weakened, and the third exhausted.
Before the demons set foot in the Three Realms, they'd certainly prepared and encouraged their troops to the fullest. Because of Su Yiyun, they couldn't continue living in that sub-dimension. If they wanted a future, the only thing they could do was fight.
They'd already prepared to cut off all means of retreat. If they didn't succeed, they'd die trying.
Their blood had been stirred to the peak, but when they really came here, their leader told them to bide their time here.
Just a few thousand!
There were only a few thousand outside Maple City. Even if they sacrificed themselves, they'd still have three hundred thousand soldiers.
Their leader didn't give the order to attack, but told them to wait.
All of this was seen by the warriors. In the beginning, they might have thought that the Black Dragon had a brilliant plan, but several hours had passed, and the sky was about to turn dark …
No matter how exuberant their blood was, there would be a moment when it would be extinguished.
"Big Brother, if we keep waiting like this, our morale will be exhausted," one of the Demon Sovereigns couldn't help but speak up. "There's less than a thousand people outside Maple City, and they're all sky immortals. It looks like this is the city's entire elite force. We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under our command. Why should we be afraid of them? As long as we devour them, no matter how many people there are in the city, they won't be able to outnumber us demons. "
"That's right, Big Brother, we can't delay any longer," the other Demon Sovereigns agreed.
The Demon Sovereigns were high-ranking members of the demon race. They knew full well why they'd come to the Three Realms this time.
They'd come to take over this land.
But since they'd arrived, they hadn't made a move yet. Their morale had plummeted. If things continued like this, they might no longer be able to feel the tension. When they truly stepped onto the battlefield, they wouldn't even be able to use ten percent of their strength.
Would the demons have even the slightest chance of winning?
Black Dragon glanced coolly at the Demon Sovereigns next to him, then at the soldiers behind him. As the commander of the Devil Race, how could he not know how serious the consequences would be if he continued to delay like this?
But he was really worried …
To tell the truth, even if Su Yiyun hadn't reminded him, he might have suppressed his impulse in the end.
Ye Zichen's disappearance was far too sudden. This sort of abrupt disappearance truly terrified him.
Also, one of the Demon Sovereigns mentioned that there were only a thousand people outside the city. Little did they know that the mere thousand people was what worried him the most.
Since he knew the demons were going to attack, why were there only a thousand people outside the city? Did Ye Zichen really think they could stop the demon elites?
Of course not.
In that case, there might be an ambush somewhere. As long as they gave the slightest opening, the ambush would appear.
Their Devil Race didn't have many opportunities, so they really couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Unable to make up his mind, Black Dragon couldn't help but look at Su Yiyun. To tell the truth, after experiencing the shadow of his defeat last time, he was no longer as arbitrary as before. When it came to making decisions, especially big ones, he was always indecisive, wavering left and right, and unable to make up his mind.
Su Yiyun, on the other hand, was his military adviser. No matter how big or small, he wanted to ask for his opinion.
"Brother Su, we've bided our time here for twelve hours already. The soldiers' fighting spirit has waned. If we keep waiting here, the results won't be good. But I'm still worried about Ye Zichen …. Brother Su, what do you think we should do? "
"Ahem ….." Su Yiyun coughed lightly and opened his eyes. He squinted at the darkening sky, then said weakly, "have we still not found Ye Zichen's location?"
"No." Black Dragon furrowed his brows and shook his head. "I've been using my spiritual awareness to scout the surroundings this entire time. In order to avoid detection, I haven't missed a single grain of sand within a radius of several hundred miles, but I haven't found any trace of Ye Zichen."
"How could he have just disappeared?" snorted Su Yiyun.
"That ….." Black Dragon hesitated, then frowned. "That's what I find strange as well. In truth, as soon as he disappeared, I investigated, but I didn't find anything. I've been trying to figure out just where he went, but no matter how I think about it, I can only think of one thing. "
"Go on," said Su Yiyun.
"Brother Su, do you think that's possible?"
After a moment's hesitation, Black Dragon bowed.
"On our way here, we received information that the various realms of the Three Realms will be participating in the Struggle for the Three Realms. That's why we chose this time to plunder resources."
"Mm, that's right."
"Then why do you think Ye Zichen suddenly disappeared to participate in the Struggle for the Three Realms?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yiyun's expression inexplicably changed. However, he quickly composed himself and smiled calmly.
"Black Dragon, you're right. That's indeed possible, but ….."
"But what?"
"But I don't really want that to be the case," said Su Yiyun tiredly. Su Yiyun said tiredly. "If he really did participate in the Struggle for Hegemony at that time, and the two of us were frightened by his disappearance for a full twelve hours, what face would we have left if word of this got out?"
"Brother Su, you're right. That's why I've kept quiet all this time. But we demon warriors really can't keep waiting like this. Brother Su, what do you think? Should we fight or not? "
"Let's wait a little longer."
As soon as Su Yiyun finished speaking, a scout hurriedly ran over.
"Reporting! A hundred miles away, there's ….."
Before the scout could finish speaking, Black Dragon leapt into the air, looked ahead like a tiger, and spread out his spiritual awareness.
The other demons followed suit and spread out their spiritual awareness as well.
"Big Brother, let's go!" Said the Demon Sovereigns in unison. Black Dragon frowned, then looked in the direction Ye Zichen had just disappeared. He gnashed his teeth and said, "one of you go protect Brother Su. The rest of you …. Follow me and storm Maple City!"
Woo …..
A bugle horn sounded.
When the slack demons heard it, their expressions trembled. They instantly raised their spirits and gripped their weapons, then heard …..
"Attack!"
The demon warriors swarmed forward like a swarm of locusts. Luo Wei and the others, who'd been waiting outside the city, trembled.
At that moment, a voice transmission appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Instantly, a smile spread across his face. His gaze was unafraid of death as he roared, "Attack!
