"Are you blind? Can't you see what's happening outside? You're still hitting me!"
After several crucial attacks were interrupted by the other party, Gu Zheng could no longer bear it and roared at Kikyo who was following closely behind him.
"Don't try to find excuses. I don't need your mercy." Kikyo looked outside but couldn't see anything. She yelled at Gu Zheng and chased after him again.
"You really can't understand!"
He was convinced of Kikyo's honesty. It would be strange if you could see through it with your naked eyes. Couldn't you use your divine sense to look outside?
Gu Zheng stopped and turned around. With an instant acceleration, he tied the opponent up and threw her to the side before she could react.
The world went silent.
On the other side, Kikyo whimpered, but it was unable to speak. It lay powerlessly on the ground, looking at Gu Zheng above, and began to undo the protective shield above.
Although Gu Zheng had imprisoned her body, he had released her divine sense. She wanted to tell the people outside that someone had broken the rules, but she discovered a scene that left her dumbfounded.
The world seemed to have changed!
"Alliance Master Luo, what's going on?" City Lord Xing suppressed his anger and asked City Lord Luo. The people who attacked him just now were still beside him, but they didn't give him an explanation.
"When did you notice? I remember when we gathered a few days ago, you didn't know."
When Luo Cheng saw the other party gathering together and looking in his direction, he must have vaguely sensed their presence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to block their secret attacks in time, allowing the other party to remain unharmed. They simply ignored City Lord Xing.
"I really don't understand why you betrayed Soul Alliance, especially City Lord Luo. Why did you side with Demon Soul?" Madam Xue looked over and didn't answer. She only felt pity.
One had to know that in Soul Alliance, City Lord Xing was already the Alliance Master. He didn't have any power and status. When they heard Gu Zheng's suspicion, they didn't believe him and thought he was deceived. However, the result was disappointing.
If City Lord Luo attacked then, no one would care and they wouldn't be able to guard against him. However, he didn't attack either.
"Well said, but you don't know what we're thinking." City Lord Luo glanced at the battle below, then took a step forward and slowly said, "Now, I'll give you a chance. If you're willing to surrender to us, I can promise to spare your lives. The army of Demon Souls outside is already here."
The people beside City Lord Luo looked at Madam Xue's group as though they were looking at a bunch of dead people. To them, it didn't matter whether the other party knew or not.
Could the few of them fight against the enemy's army? Moreover, the enemy's strength was double that of the entire Soul Alliance. The result was already decided. No matter how much they struggled, it was useless.
"Life is worse than death? I'm afraid that if we surrender, you'll definitely put restrictions on us. We won't be able to die, but we'll be no different from puppets. You may be willing to be beasts, but we're not. "Madam Xue snorted.
"Are you worthy of all the people in Soul Alliance?" General Niu said angrily to City Lord Luo.
If not for the enemy's cooperation, even if there were some small fry here, they wouldn't have fallen into a life and death situation. In fact, the enemy wouldn't have been able to surround this place without anyone noticing. With City Lord Luo around, everything was too simple for them.
Many things were understood now. No wonder when Madam Xue raised the alarm, there wasn't much of a reaction. They hastily sent people out to take a stroll.
"Why are you sorry? There won't be any more battles in the future. Without casualties and worries, everyone will be even more grateful to me." City Lord Luo retorted, as if he was wholeheartedly thinking for Soul Alliance.
"Do you think everyone is like you? You're too shameless." City Lord Xing suddenly said loudly. The people next to him all agreed.
In this short period of time, they finally understood what had happened. They didn't need to make much of a choice to know who their enemy was.
"The enemy has betrayed Soul Alliance. We definitely won't betray them." Thus, they quickly came over and City Lord Xing pleaded with City Lord Liu.
Of course, this was also because they were prepared. Perhaps the enemy had a way to survive this calamity. Even if they had more people, if they broke through together, it would be safer.
If they relied on the enemy, not mentioning their own faction, it would be a small matter. They would probably truly become the enemy's slave. They understood Demon Soul's methods very well. They would rather die than fall into the enemy's hands.
"Of course we can." City Lord Liu readily agreed, "However, for safety reasons, I need to check your situation. Just relax your mind and I won't hurt you."
"That's not a problem. Please check it, City Lord Liu." City Lord Xing directly agreed.
At this moment, the scale of the battle below was much smaller. After no more advantages to take, they began to slowly retreat. However, they were still the same people from the beginning. City Lord Luo's side was the same. The lonely and pitiful remaining team saw the situation above and cautiously watched City Lord Luo's side, slowly walking behind Madam Xue's team.
City Lord Liu glanced at City Lord Luo's side and didn't go up to interfere. It was as if he didn't care about their struggle. Of course, if they went up, in terms of strength, they weren't their opponents. The enemy wasn't afraid of them causing trouble.
Seeing the people in front of him relax their minds, City Lord Liu began to check. In a few breaths, he said to City Lord Xing, who had set the example.
"Welcome to join us. At least we're doing this for Soul Alliance!"
City Lord Xing exhaled and then walked inside, joining the other party's small group. The next person behind him also opened his mind and allowed City Lord Liu to examine him.
City Lord Liu was also from the first group to come here. He was deeply trusted by everyone, so he was very assured.
"Welcome to join us. Victory in this battle will definitely belong to us." Madam Xue stood to the side and smiled as she spoke to City Lord Xing.
"Definitely!" City Lord Xing saw the other person's confident face and calmed down a bit. He also replied.
"We're just going to watch them take those people in. Even if we interfere a little, they'll suspect us. If that's the case, won't it make them even more disunited?" General Fan was a little puzzled. Why were they just watching coldly when the other side was screening them one by one?
"You don't understand. What are we going to do? The other side only needs to send a few people to stop us. Are we going to fight them to the death? Why not leave them to the demon soul side? "City Lord Duan glanced at him and slowly said.
Though they were relying on the other side, he knew that everything in the demon soul depended on strength. If they were injured or their strength was damaged too much, the other side could change their attitude at a moment's notice.
"However, the other side has seen through our actions. Will there be any accidents?" City Lord Bu said worriedly.
"Accidents? What accidents? Your subordinates, other than those who came here, where are they? "City Lord Luo turned around and asked City Lord Bu.
"They're in the city!"
"If we hurry now, how long will it take to get here at full speed?"
"At least ten days."
City Lord Bu's eyes lit up. He understood City Lord Luo's meaning. The others were confused, but when they heard this, they also understood.
Even if the other side was prepared, what could they do with those people? There was no need to fight to the death with the other side now. It was simply asking for trouble.
"Thank you for your reminder, City Lord Luo. With so few people, even if they put up some resistance, what's the use? If the other side escapes, it won't be our fault." City Lord Bu praised, but he kept the words to himself.
"Of course, no matter what the other side does, we can't just sit back and watch. I've already sent people to inquire about them. You should know that there are only a few of your people here. I have a lot of my people. It's best if we do our own things. The other side won't remember our contributions." City Lord Luo said confidently.
"In addition, the detail I sent to the other side should be here soon."
Although he was very strong, he didn't want to fight the other side head-on. In a situation where the other side had no way out, it was easy for them to fight with their backs against the wall. At that time, whoever he held back would be unlucky.
While they were talking, City Lord Liu was also checking the second to last person. There were no problems before, but after checking these two, he would return to the bottom to check what was going on. At this moment, he felt a great sense of danger. It was as if the other side's demon soul was approaching. If he didn't activate it now, it would be too late.
At this moment, City Lord Su took a few more steps to the side, as if he wanted to talk to his companions. The others didn't pay much attention to him. Suddenly, a huge force rose from his hand. A black dagger appeared in his hand, and he threw it at Madam Xue without hesitation.
At the same time, his body suddenly sped up. He threw a palm at City Lord Liu, who was checking, and another palm at Madam Xue's chest. He was afraid that the previous weapon couldn't kill her.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
.....
"City Lord Ruo, the formation has been activated."
After guiding the last few thousand people, Ruo Chen just wanted to have a good sleep. It was too tiring. Even if she was only guiding the power, it was almost draining her. There was also a small mountain of powder beside her that was about to reach the top. It was almost draining her resources.
Just as she came down and was about to rest, she felt the ground tremble. Some of the lights around her began to flicker. The runes on the wall began to light up one by one. Her subordinates shouted.
"Let everyone take up their positions. Start injecting your mana according to the previous arrangements."
Her desire to rest was shattered. Since she had been discovered by the other party, not only was she in grave danger, it also meant that the other party had already noticed her movements and could be in danger at any time. She could not afford to rest for even a moment and immediately made arrangements for her surroundings.
"Go and call Captain Tang over. I have something to tell her."
She had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. Although everything was progressing smoothly and there seemed to be no problems, City Lord Luo had arrived here a long time ago. This place was the absolute core. If there were any countermeasures here, once it exploded, it could cause huge destruction and ruin everything they had done.
"City Lord, what do you want me to do?"
While Ruo Chen was recovering, Tang Li quickly returned and came to Ruo Chen.
"Leave the work there to the deputy first. Divide some of the teams and take them to the control center in the back. Then, redistribute the work among the people on standby and form several patrol teams. Carefully monitor the surroundings. If there are any suspicious areas, you can kill them first and report later. As long as they are not our people, kill them all."
"After doing all this, take some of our own teams and patrol the area alone."
Tang Li immediately returned with the order and began to carry out Ruo Chen's orders.
After Ruo Chen was done, she still felt uneasy and walked towards the spacious area behind.
This was like a huge cave. The entire ground was carved with countless runes. The entire ground was made up of a precious black crystal and was extremely sturdy.
There weren't that many Soul Alliance members on the ground. It was unknown how they found so many in the first place. There were traces of them everywhere in the fortress city. They were all used to stabilize and connect key areas. Even if they wanted to destroy them, it wouldn't be done in a short period of time.
On the ground, there was a protruding black platform every certain distance, which could only allow one person to stand on it. Now, there was a late-stage gold immortal standing on each platform, and there was no lack of peak-stage gold immortals. They were connected to the formation below, and as far as the eye could see, there were about four to five hundred of them.
However, there were a total of five such caves. They were separated by a few huge stone pillars and occupied this space.
Their main purpose was to provide their own magic power to provide Thunder Sound City with an abundant supply of energy. Once their bodies fell to a certain level, others would come to replace them while they recovered on the side.
These areas had already been allocated. Even the replacements had been prepared on the side.
Other than this, there were many pitch-black tunnels around. These were temporary resting places left behind from a long time ago. One had to know that the battle had lasted for many years. Most people could be said to be living in these tunnels.
What made Ruo Chen even more discouraged was that these tunnels couldn't be closed. Although he could roughly look inside, he didn't have the time to examine them in detail. He couldn't even seal them.
Back then, it was to prevent people from using them. These tunnels were practically a part of the formation. Placing things in specific areas could speed up the recovery inside.
Further ahead was the true core of this place. The outer defense and large scale attacks were all controlled here.
There were many elites from other cities gathered here as well. However, they only stood here and waited for orders. After all, they didn't know anything. Even Ruo Chen himself didn't know much. The only thing he knew was what City Lord Ming told him. She was simply drawing a gourd to activate these things.
"Boom"
A huge tremor shook the space. Other than those protected in the formation, everyone else was knocked down by this sudden tremor. This let everyone know that the demon soul had arrived.
"Senior Ruo."
As everyone hurriedly called out to each other, Ruo Chen quickly came to an isolated area. According to the current plan, the moment they were discovered, they had to first activate the outer defense and detection formation to prevent the enemy from destroying the outer defense.
Moreover, the enemy's attack was already here. She had to hurry.
A transparent shield rose from the outside, isolating her from everyone outside. She focused her mind on this artifact that had become one with Thunder Sound City and began to control it according to the method to protect this place.
.....
The enormous team slowly stopped. Zhu Hun looked at the mountain peak in front of him. It was almost impossible to see its former glory. After looking at it a few more times, he gave an order.
"Attack!"
The three Piao species elders immediately flew into the air. With a pull of their hands, three different shaped crystal longbows appeared in their hands.
In other directions, multiple figures rose up and attacked at the same time.
Dozens of extremely powerful auras began to gather in the air. Countless demon souls below watched excitedly. In their opinion, the enemy was dead for sure. Even this sturdy big guy could not save Soul Alliance.
This time, each species had sent half or a third of their people. It could be said that they had sent all their elites. They formed an army of several tens of thousands. Not to mention, there were even more puppets at the front as the vanguard.
In fact, many people were thinking that they probably wouldn't even have the chance to attack before the fight ended. Their main purpose was to chase after the scattered Soul Alliance members.
More than a dozen attacks landed on the thick stone walls of the outer city from four different directions at the same time after they had finished accumulating power. Huge blasts of air exploded, and countless shattered stones shot out in all directions like a fountain. At the same time, waves of terrifying fluctuations spread out in all directions.
Whether it was the shockwaves or the uncontrollable stones, they were all blocked by this side. They did not affect the people behind them.
However, what surprised those demon souls was that even with dozens of human soul experts attacking, only dozens of huge holes were created on the mountain peak. It did not seem to affect the city inside.
"Continue attacking!"
This was not out of Zhu Hun's expectations. After all, Thunder Sound City was built on a lone mountain peak. It used to be many times larger than it was now. If they wanted to break through, they would need some time. Only by destroying the outer layer of armor could they completely damage the enemy's foundation.
"Right now, it's probably a mess inside. They must have started moving. This way, the enemy will have no chance at all. However, we still have to prevent them from escaping."
Zhu Hun smiled as he looked in front of him.
"I'm afraid they will never know how many people are surrounding them outside."
"Rumble"
In this short moment of distraction, the second round of attacks was launched. Large amounts of rocks continuously fell from above. If it was a normal mountain, it would have collapsed under the repeated attacks.
Unfortunately, Thunder Sound City was much tougher than normal mountains. When the power hit it, it did not have as much of an effect as expected. If a heavenly king was here, he would probably be able to crush it with a few full strength palms.
Zhu Hun shook his head and let go of this unrealistic thought. He turned his head to look to the side.
The third attack had already condensed and appeared.
However, when the enemy threw out the third attack, a transparent barrier in the air suddenly flickered twice. Then, dozens of flames exploded on top of it.
Large amounts of ripples appeared in the sky, but it successfully blocked the attack.
"What on earth is happening inside?"
Zhu Hun's smiling face immediately turned gloomy.
"Continue attacking!"
