This time, Lan Ling's 290,000 troops were truly at the city gates. They were not at a distance of 30 or 50 miles, but right below the city walls.
At the highest point of Cloud Disaster Capital, the Sky Crusade Crown Prince looked down at Lan Ling's 290,000 troops.
"Everyone, regardless of troop, hold your positions. Do not attack!" The Sky Crusade Crown Prince ordered, "Unless Lan Ling makes the first move, do not make any moves to attack. Enter full defense mode. All martial arts troops, enter the first line of defense!"
Under the Sky Crusade Crown Prince's orders, Cloud Disaster Capital had truly become a tortoise shell.
In the previous two battles, the Sky Crusade Crown Prince had lost 400,000 Ghost Bats, 290,000 Crouching Demons, and 530 top-tier martial artists.
However, he still had close to three million troops and close to ten thousand MCMAU powerhouses who were above grandmaster level.
It was enough to defend the entire Cloud Disaster Capital like a hedgehog or a sturdy tortoise shell.
There were at least a dozen guards behind every meter of the city walls.
Moreover, tens of thousands of top-tier martial arts troops rode on Ghost Skates in the air, ready to support any direction.
Cloud Disaster Capital was on a huge plateau. It was a terraced city. There was not a single citizen in the city. The city spanning hundreds of square kilometers was like a huge military camp.
Lan Ling closed his eyes and released his powerful Mentality to sense the guards in Cloud Disaster Capital.
They were densely packed. They were even more troublesome than iron tortoises and iron hedgehogs.
Moreover, countless guards were hiding in huge castles and palaces.
If he did not use any special tactics, it would be extremely difficult for Lan Ling to take down Cloud Disaster Capital with his current strength.
She thought that with the Crown Prince's personality, he wouldn't hide. She didn't expect him to be so patient. This caused Lan Ling to be in trouble.
"Most of the enemies are hiding in castles and houses. That's why aerial battles are not suitable." Bloodwolf King said, "If we rely on 10,000 Werewolf Warriors, 40,000 Wolf Riders, 30,000 Centaurs, and 12,000 Death Warriors to fight on the ground. Even if we win, the casualties will be very, very heavy. "
Khagan Chiyan said, "The most troublesome one is still the Tian Sha Crown Prince's martial arts army. So, can we do this? Let's have the Death Warriors fight against the Tian Sha Crown Prince's Martial Arts Army, the Golden Warriors Army, and the Golden Centaurs Army. Break through the city walls and destroy the enemy's Crouching Devil Army, Giant Army, Troll Army, and so on. "
"Bloodwolf King, can you stop the Tian Sha Crown Prince?" Lan Ling asked.
"Sure." The Bloodwolf King said, "But once he transforms into his ancestral form, it will be very difficult for me to hold him back. Of course, I can also transform, and both of us will enter a berserk state. I will slaughter his Martial Arts Legion, and he will slaughter your Death Warriors. "
Lan Ling frowned.
The Death Warriors could not be killed by others, but the Atavistic Demons could, because their energy level was very high.
One must know that before Elder Di En self-destructed, he had already killed dozens of Demon Sovereigns and hundreds of Demon Grandmasters. The lethality of this attack was too terrifying. It was completely beyond what Lan Ling could handle.
The Bloodwolf King said, "Your Death Warriors can annihilate the Tian Sha Crown Prince's Martial Arts Legion. But … more than twenty Demon Sovereigns and three hundred Demon Grandmasters will be sacrificed. "
"Fuck!" Lan Ling cursed in his mind.
If it was to protect Flame Demon City, Lan Ling was certainly willing to pay such a huge price.
But this was just to take back Cloud Disaster Royal City, and to increase his reputation. The price was too high.
…
Lan Ling closed his eyes.
"Master, the Young Rakshasa King alone defeated Princess Di Ning's 450,000 soldiers, and saved Flame Demon City." Gou Li's voice suddenly sounded in Lan Ling's mind.
Gou Li was in Flame Demon City, and Lan Ling was in Cloud Disaster Royal City. They were very far away from each other.
But she was Lan Ling's Death Warrior, so she could communicate in his mind.
Lan Ling and all the Death Warriors were in the same network, because they shared the same will, the will of the Demon Emperor!
"How many doomsday weapons did he use?" Lan Ling asked.
"Just one!" Gou Li said, "And he also took back all the meteorite powder and sent it back to the lab."
"What a monster." Lan Ling said.
"Yes." Gou Li said, "Master, did you run into a problem?"
Lan Ling said, "The decisive battle in Cloud Disaster Royal City is coming. I must take back Cloud Disaster Royal City as soon as possible, or we will be annihilated. But the Tian Sha Crown Prince is very wise, and held his ground at the crucial moment, so I can't take them down one by one. This way, I will have to pay a huge price if I want to take down Cloud Disaster Royal City by force. "
Gou Li was silent for a moment, "Master, I can bring you a few doomsday weapons. As long as you detonate them in Cloud Disaster Royal City, the problem will be solved. "
This woman was ruthless.
These doomsday weapons were much more vicious than atomic bombs.
Once they were detonated, everything within a few hundred miles of Cloud Disaster Royal City would become a dead city. There would be no chance for it to recover in the next few hundred years or even thousands of years.
Lan Ling was silent for a moment, but still rejected this tempting idea.
Di Ning's army attacked Flame Demon City, and Lan Ling used this super weapon to save his life, so it was understandable.
But once he used it to attack the city, he would be stepping on the bottom line, and the Tian Sha King would personally kill Lan Ling.
No matter what, this was a civil war in the demon territory, and the bottom line could not be crossed.
Did Lan Ling not have a solution?
He had a solution, but he didn't know if it could be completed, or how long it would take.
What solution?
There were still 210,000 Hidden Ground Devils in Cloud Disaster Royal City, and they were controlled by hundreds of spirit priests.
These Hidden Ground Devils had signed some kind of contract with the spirit priests since they were young, and these spirit priests used some kind of mental power to control them.
If Lan Ling could crack this mental energy code, she would be able to seize control of this mental energy. This would be equivalent to seizing the command of the 210,000 Hidden Demon Army and ordering them to go on a killing spree in the Cloud Disaster Royal City.
This way, Cloud Disaster Royal City would naturally fall without attacking.
But cracking the mental power password of the contract was a very, very, very, very difficult thing.
It was not like ultrasound, which was completely regular.
A spiritual contract. Something like spiritual power was ever-changing.
It was like cracking a password of thousands of digits, and it might not be numbers or letters, but any code.
Even if it could be cracked, who knew how long it would take. But Lan Ling had less than three days, and the Tigné Army would arrive in three days. By then, Lan Ling would either have to retreat, or be attacked from both sides.
The mental power password to control the Hidden Ground Devils was definitely the Tian Sha Race's top secret, and cracking it would be extremely difficult. The most terrifying thing was that if every spirit master had a different mental power password to control the Hidden Ground Devils, then … it would be a tragedy!
Therefore, Lan Ling had two choices.
Attack Cloud Disaster Royal City without caring about casualties.
Or take the most difficult path, and crack the mental power password to control the Hidden Ground Devils.
Lan Ling told Gou Li about the current situation, and then said, "Go find the Tang people, tell them my idea, and ask them if they think it's feasible."
"Yes!" Gou Li said.
Moments later, Gou Li said, "After Young Devil King heard your idea, he exclaimed, and then said you're crazy."
Young Devil King was always calm, and something that could make him exclaim must be very scary.
Moments later, Gou Li said, "But he said we can try. Also, he said he will fly to Cloud Disaster Royal City as soon as possible, and crack the mental power password to control the Hidden Ground Devil Army with you. "
Lan Ling said, "Tell him that if we fail to crack it, we can only run away with our tails between our legs within three days. Taking back Cloud Disaster Royal City will be a complete failure, and then he will have to commit suicide in front of everyone. "
Gou Li said, "He has already taken off to Cloud Disaster Royal City!"
A madman, a complete and utter madman.
…
Young Devil King had not arrived yet, so Lan Ling started the work of cracking the mental power password to control the Hidden Ground Devils.
The first step was to find the captured Hidden Ground Devils.
This was easy. A few nights ago, they had captured more than a few hundred Hidden Ground Devils, and the purpose was to study them.
These few hundred Hidden Ground Devils had their tongues and limbs cut off, and they had lost their ability to attack.
At this moment, they were lying on the ground motionlessly, in a state of deep sleep.
This was not done by Lan Ling, but once they entered a certain range, they would immediately be controlled by the Spirit Masters of the Heavenly Sha Tribe.
At this moment, all of the Hidden Ground Devil Army were in a state of deep sleep.
Why were they in a state of deep sleep? Because once the Hidden Ground Devils woke up, they would definitely enter a state of massacre. Therefore, unless there was a war, the Hidden Ground Devils would always be in a state of deep sleep.
In other words, the minds of the Hidden Ground Devils that had been captured by Lan Ling could continuously receive mental commands from the Spirit High Priest.
The second step was for Lan Ling to intercept these mental commands.
How was he going to intercept them? Capture mental signals in the air? This was impossible.
What Lan Ling needed to do was to invade the Hidden Ground Devil's mind and find the part of it that had signed the mental contract. Then, he would intercept the complete mental command from the Spirit High Priest of the Heavenly Sha Tribe, and finally crack this mental command.
This was an unprecedented idea, and it was extremely crazy.
Therefore, Young Devil King had said that Lan Ling was crazy, and he had rushed over immediately.
This was because this was too amazing, too creative, too intelligent, and too nature-defying. How could the Tang people miss out on this?
…
It was very easy to invade the Hidden Ground Devil Army's mind, as these idiots had almost zero mental defense.
However, the troublesome thing was that Lan Ling's mental power could only invade its mind when it opened its eyes. At this time, it was still in a deep sleep.
Therefore, he had to awaken these Hidden Ground Devils.
"Blood Wolf King, use an energy fist and hit the city wall!" Lan Ling said, "But don't attack."
"Yes!" Blood Wolf King said.
Then, he swung his fist and smashed it.
"Boom … …" A purple fist light burst out and hit the city wall.
With a loud bang, countless cracks appeared on the city wall that was dozens of meters away.
The Heavenly Sha Crown Prince was shocked, thinking that Lan Ling had started a war.
Immediately, all the guards prepared for battle.
All the Spirit Masters awakened the Hidden Ground Devils and prepared to fight.
This included the Hidden Ground Devil that had been captured by Lan Ling. It suddenly opened its eyes and woke up.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lan Ling's mental power penetrated the Hidden Ground Devil's eyes and entered its mind.
The Heavenly Sha Crown Prince pricked up his ears, but he did not see any further attack from Lan Ling.
After another 15 minutes of stalemate, the Heavenly Sha Crown Prince stopped fighting.
All the Spirit Masters sent out mental orders to all the Hidden Ground Devils to enter a deep sleep. Because these Hidden Ground Devils wanted to kill when they were awake, the Spirit Masters had to suppress them, which was very taxing on their mental power.
After Lan Ling's mental power invaded the Hidden Ground Devil's mind, he began to search for the area where the Hidden Ground Devil had signed a mental contract.
This area was left by the Spirit Masters when the Hidden Ground Devil was very young, which meant that this area accepted the mental orders of the Spirit Masters.
Lan Ling's mental power roamed the Hidden Ground Devil's mind.
Fortunately, the Hidden Ground Devil was a cruel but simple species, so the brain world was relatively simple and not big.
But even so, this was a boundless mental world.
Lan Ling's mental power continued to search, search, search …
Six hours, ten hours, fourteen hours …
A full eighteen hours!
Lan Ling finally found the place where the mental contract was signed in the Hidden Ground Devil's mind.
As expected, there were endless mental signals coming from this area. These were the orders of the Spirit Masters of the Heavenly Sha Race.
"Swoosh …"
Lan Ling quickly intercepted the signal of this spiritual command.
The first step was finally completed!
When he opened his eyes, the sky was already dark!
The Young Devil King, the Tang man, had arrived and was beside Lan Ling. He was doing the same thing as Lan Ling, invading the Hidden Ground Devil army's mind and intercepting the mental orders of the Spirit Masters.
The Blood Wolf King said, "The Tang man has been here for four hours, and he gave me the same order as soon as he arrived. Punch the city wall. He said that after you wake up, you can communicate with him on the mental level at any time. He did not set up any mental defenses. "
Lan Ling went forward and told the Young Devil King the coordinates of the area where the Hidden Ground Devil beasts accepted mental signals.
A moment later, the Young Devil King opened his eyes.
Lan Ling said, "You're crazy. You're playing with your life. If we don't decipher these mental signals in time, you'll have to kill yourself. "
The Young Devil King said, "This is too interesting. How can I let you complete it alone!"
Then, the Young Devil King said, "Let's communicate spiritually and see if the intercepted signals are the same. If they are, it proves that all the mental codes controlling the Hidden Ground Devil army are the same. "
Lan Ling and Young Rakshasa King released the fragments of spiritual power that they had intercepted.
That's right, it was good news. It was the same.
"If we convert it into numbers, how many digits would it be?" the Young Devil King asked.
"About a thousand …" Lan Ling said.
The Young Devil King grinned and said, "F * ck me!"
This was equivalent to deciphering a thousand-digit code. Furthermore, they did not know what code it was made of. It was too scary.
"I'll be responsible for deciphering the first twenty-five percent of the mental codes. You'll be responsible for the latter seventy-five percent." The Young Devil King said, "Although my mental power is stronger than yours, there's a pervert in your mind."
"Alright." Lan Ling said, "Blood Wolf King, we'll enter a meditative state from now on. Unless there's a war, don't ever wake us up."
"Yes!" the Blood Wolf King said.
Then, he led the dozens of Demon Sovereigns to sit in a circle, protecting Lan Ling and the Young Devil King in the middle.
Next, Lan Ling and the Young Devil King entered a meditative state as fast as they could.
…
In the meditative world, time kept slowing down, slowing down, and slowing down.
Ten times, a hundred times, three hundred times, five hundred times …
This was deciphering a thousand-digit mental code. A mere two days was definitely not enough. It would take at least a year. Therefore, they had to enter the deepest level of meditation.
Only heaven-defying monsters like Lan Ling and the Young Devil King could enter such a deep meditative state and carry out such crazy, perverted, and complicated mental work.
If it were someone else, Lan Ling wouldn't be able to find a second person to complete this task. In fact, he wouldn't even be able to find a second person who could understand him.
Only the Young Devil King didn't need Lan Ling to say it. He immediately understood, because his thoughts were exactly the same.
In the meditative world, Lan Ling and the Young Devil King entered the most frenzied deciphering work.
This was the most boring and most insane thing.
This was truly a painstaking effort.
The hardest part was the first step, deciphering the first digit!
In the meditative world, Lan Ling spent a full three months before he finally deciphered the first digit.
After countless mistakes, he finally confirmed the absolute attribute of this mental power. Only then did he truly determine the first digit.
Nine months later, Lan Ling deciphered 30% of the mental power.
Eleven months later, Lan Ling deciphered 50% of the mental power.
Fifteen months later, Lan Ling deciphered 75% of the mental power.
At this time, he could choose to continue deciphering, or he could choose to wake up.
If he trusted the Young Devil King, he would wake up. If he didn't, he could continue deciphering on his own.
Lan Ling chose to wake up.
His choice was correct. The Young Devil King had already woken up, which proved that he had completed his 25%.
The two of them combined their work and completed deciphering 100% of the mental power code.
What happened next was simple.
Lan Ling and the Young Devil King both obtained the mental power code to control the Crouching Demons.
"Do you want to do it, or should I?" the Young Devil King asked.
"Let's do it together!" Lan Ling said.
The Young Devil King nodded.
Then, the two of them released their extremely powerful mental power.
In an instant, this mental power enveloped an area of several dozen miles.
The Heavenly Demon Race needed a few hundred mental power priests to control hundreds of thousands of Crouching Demons, but the mental power of Lan Ling and the Young Devil King was a hundred times more than theirs.
Therefore, the mental power of just the two of them easily enveloped the entire Crouching Demon army.
After the remaining 210,000 Crouching Demons were included in the mental power's range.
Lan Ling and the Young Devil King released mental commands at the same time.
"Wake up!"
Instantly, the few hundred captured Crouching Demons around Lan Ling opened their eyes.
The 210,000 Crouching Demons in the caves of Cloud Disaster Royal City opened their eyes at the same time.
"Attack!" Lan Ling and the Young Devil King released a second mental command at the same time.
Then, an extremely terrifying, breathtaking, and shocking scene appeared.
The 210,000 Crouching Demons charged out and attacked the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince's army in Cloud Disaster Royal City.
At this point, the destruction of Cloud Disaster Royal City was a foregone conclusion!
