A light drizzle began to fall. The rain in spring was always unending. The raindrops slowly flowed down along Qin Yin's delicate facial features. She blinked her eyes and lowered her head to wipe the rainwater off her face. She continued to look at the rising demon wall in the distance. On the side, Qu Chu, Feng Jixing, Xiang Yu, Su Yu, and the others stood guard.
"Your Highness."
Su'Er cupped her fists and said, "QianFeng's main force is in front of us. It seems like QianFeng wants to defeat us at our strongest defense."
"This arrogant demon Marshal …" Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said.
Qin Yin squinted her beautiful eyes and said, "Our top priority is to know QianFeng's thoughts. Why did he build such a high wall? Duke Lan, Grandfather, can you guess it? "
Tang Lan held onto the battlement as rainwater slowly flowed down her aged palm. Her pair of turbid eyes looked into the distance and said, "The demon's siege weapons are not excellent. This is also the reason why their siege ladders and siege towers have not been able to break through the steel protective wall. If they had cast a layer of steel armor on the siege towers, I believe that the steel protective wall would have been broken long ago. In this old man's opinion, QianFeng's purpose of building such a high wall is to stand up to us and increase the range of the catapults so that they can throw stones at the wall."
Qin Yin's fragrant shoulders trembled slightly and said, "If that's the case … then it's not that simple."
At this moment, Su Muyun suddenly staggered and his expression changed drastically.
"What's wrong, Grandfather?" Qin Yin hurriedly asked.
Su Yu also supported her father and asked, "Father, what's wrong?"
Su Muyun's hand trembled slightly as he pointed at the demon wall in the distance and said, "You guys … Can you guys imagine what would happen if the demon's catapults were to throw a lot of huge stones?"
"If it's not huge stones, then what are they?" Feng Jixing was startled.
Qin Yin was exceptionally intelligent and had already thought of it. She was startled and said, "They will throw living things over …"
"A living creature?" Xiang Yu was stunned.
Su Muyun nodded. "If they throw living Armor Demons, how are we going to block them when tens of thousands of Armor Demons fall from the sky and land on the inside of the steel wall?"
"Heavens …" Feng Jixing suddenly gripped the hilt of his saber and said, "QianFeng … QianFeng couldn't have really thought of this, could he?"
"It must be."
Tang Lan's face was pale. She looked at the earth wall that was continuously being built in the distance and said, "Their wall is already close to 20 meters high. The steel wall is 45 meters high. In addition to the projectile ability of their catapults … It should be time. We need to make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise … I'm afraid we'll be caught off guard!"
"Got it."
Qin Yin's eyes dimmed as she said, "The steel wall is no longer safe. Grandfather, Elder Lan, I will send someone to escort you out of the steel wall. You should return to the imperial capital first!"
Su Muyun was aghast. "Xiao Yin, you …"
"Grandfather, you're already so old. You should have a good death instead of dying on the battlefield …" Qin Yin's eyes were red as she looked at Su Muyun and said, "Grandfather, Xiao Yin has no relatives left. I can't just watch you die …"
Su Muyun's body trembled and tears streamed down his face. He said in a low voice, "Su Yu, all the troops in Muyu City are now under your command. You must protect Xiao Yin and guard the steel wall."
"Yes, Father!"
Soon after, Su Muyun and Tang Lan left the steel protective wall under the escort of the guards and disappeared into the curtain of rain.
…
"Your Highness, why didn't you leave?" Feng Jixing frowned and said, "It's the fate of us soldiers to die on the battlefield. You're the Empress. You really shouldn't stay here."
"No, if I leave, the morale of the army will be in chaos. If I don't leave, Qu will be here to protect me."
"Alright then …"
When Feng Jixing raised his head again, he saw creaking sounds coming from the distant earth wall of the demon race. As expected, a huge catapult had been pushed onto the earth wall, followed by the second, the third, and more and more, densely packed together.
Xiang Yu was slightly stunned. "What do we do now? Do we just sit here and wait for death? "
Qin Yin said faintly, "All the military power of the empire will be under Feng Jixing's command. Now, General Feng, you're the supreme commander at the frontline. You will be in charge of this war."
Feng Jixing couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Your Highness, you're really making things difficult for me, Feng Jixing. To be given such a command in the face of danger … This crisis is too great."
With that, Feng Jixing turned to the group of generals and said, "Order all the soldiers to change into shields and raise them high above their heads to form a giant shield. When the demons fall, use the shields to throw them back down the steel wall. If the shields aren't enough, use a spear to press against the ground and aim in the direction of the demons. If they dare to fall, turn them into barbecued skewers!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Everyone nodded.
Feng Jixing looked behind him and asked, "Zhang Wei, how much black beech oil do we have left?"
"About ten thousand barrels. Commander, what's wrong?"
"Pour the black beech oil into the ditches in the city and send people to dig more ditches. Make sure that there is a ditch every three meters. Also, we have already poured the black beech oil. Search the steel walls for all the materials that can ignite the fire. Once the rain stops, spread them all out."
"Yes!" Zhang Wei's face was pale as he said, "Commander, what are you doing?"
Feng Jixing clenched his fists and said indifferently, "The steel wall cost the empire 500 million Jingrin coins. Even if it's destroyed, it must be worth it. Go and do it immediately! In addition, remove all the arrow boxes and ballistae from the city and place them in the unicorn forest outside the steel wall. Prepare to fight the demons to the death. "
"Yes!"
… …
Peng!
A catapult suddenly made a loud noise. What it threw wasn't a huge rock but a pitch-black object. It was an armor demon with a hunched body. It curled up like a beetle and relied on the hard armor on its back to protect its weak parts. It landed on the steel wall in a very strange curve.
Clang!
Feng Jixing unsheathed his long saber and waved it in the air. Immediately, the armor demon that was thrown over was dismembered in the air. Everyone laughed and cheered.
However, the sound of catapults kept ringing. More and more armor demons were thrown from the sky. Soon, the guards on the city were tired of dealing with them. On the ground, the siege towers came again. It was like adding snow to snow!
"Block them, you must block them for me!"
Feng Jixing's face was cold. He kept charging into the crowd with his Wind-cutter, chopping the Armor Demons into pieces one after another. Meanwhile, Xiang Yu gathered his Chaotic Force and used his Bloodthirsty Spear to launch a series of penetrating Sanctuary attacks, piercing through the Armor Demons that had fallen on the city. Countless Armor Demons fell from the sky and smashed onto the shields of the soldiers on the city, or collided with the protruding spears. Under the huge impact, they were pierced into a bunch, but most of them rolled on the city or inside the city, and started killing wantonly.
"Haha …"
A familiar laughter came from below the city wall. Nobody knew when a demon in golden armor appeared. It was QianFeng. With a roar, the Grandmaster-level demon power on the blade surged out and bombarded the iron gate of the steel wall!
"Bang!"
The city wall was shaking crazily. The iron gate couldn't withstand QianFeng's attack and was directly pierced through!
QianFeng jumped up and appeared on the ladder with a group of advanced demon warriors. He smiled at Qin Yin on the city wall and said, "Your Highness Qin Yin, we meet again!"
Roar!
A Four-star demon warrior rushed over with a battle axe. With a roar, he swung the axe at Qin Yin's shoulder.
"Bang!"
The battle axe was suddenly deflected, and a dragon-shaped energy crystal shield appeared beside Qin Yin. It was the third form of the Dragon Slayer Incantation, the Sacred Dragon Shield. Qin Yin's Purple Ying Sword struck out at lightning speed, and with the power of the True Dragon God Binding Chains, it pierced through the Demon Sect's expert's shoulder. With a "pfft" sound, blood splattered everywhere. However, the protective aura around his body was also very strong, or else the Purple Ying Sword would have pierced through him.
He didn't expect this delicate and beautiful empress to have such a cultivation. The demon warrior took a few steps back and stopped in mid-air on a cyclone. QianFeng's roar came from behind him, "Idiot, do you think Qin Yin is so easy to kill? Get back here! "
The demon warrior quickly retreated, but Qin Yin suddenly rose up, and her sword fell from the sky like a meteor shower.
"You want to kill me? Come on! "
He instantly revealed his arrogance, and cyclones formed by the demonic aura wrapped around his body. The cyclones wrapped around the Ziying Sword and dragged Qin Yin down the city wall. But Qin Yin wasn't that easy to deal with. She shook her hand lightly, and her beautiful face was filled with killing intent. A God Binding Chains appeared in the air and pierced through the demon warrior's thigh.
"Your Highness, danger!"
Qu Chu descended from the sky with the power of the Holy Sky Realm. He grabbed Qin Yin's shoulder and threw her onto the city wall. He then chased after her and opened his palm, shouting, "Die!"
"Buzz!"
The fire cauldron opened, and the light from the Martial Soul shot out in all directions. The raging flames instantly blew the demon warrior into pieces!
"Bastard!"
QianFeng was infuriated, and his arms were filled with demonic aura. His blood-red eyes were filled with anger, and his sword carried boundless demonic aura as it slashed towards Qu Chu's back!
With Qu Chu's cultivation, he suddenly jumped up in the air and stopped his body. The fire cauldron covered his body, and he pushed out with both palms. Raging flames rose into the sky, and collided with QianFeng's attack!
"Bang!"
The energy storm suddenly exploded, and the bricks behind him were all turned into dust. The center of the steel wall was destroyed, and the wall was definitely going to fall.
QianFeng spun around and retreated. The demonic aura in his body surged, and his blood and Qi surged. He said with a stern gaze, "Fire Cauldron Qu Chu, you really live up to your name!"
Qu Chu stood proudly in the wind, and his sleeves fluttered in the wind. He said indifferently, "The demon race's monster is only so-so!"
"Hmph!"
QianFeng slowly retreated, and pointed his sword at the steel wall, and said, "Today, we must break through this city and capture Qin Yin alive!"
