CHAPTER 987: CHAPTER 681: ALLIED ARMY OF 3 CITIES BESIEGES
"Victory! Victory!"
The demon chiefs of the Free Heaven Country kept chanting victory, and with Du Feng cheering them on, their morale was significantly boosted.
On the other side, the Tri-City Allied Forces had already arrived before Dongwen Mountain.
The Tianyang City Lord asked the Old Sky Demon beside him, "Senior, can you discern anything?"
The Old Sky Demon chuckled, "Observe how there seems to be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the mountains, the atmosphere is extremely restrained, which means the other side has already detected our presence, and there must be experts among them."
The Tianyang City Lord sighed, "As I expected, if the other side did not have experts of the celestial Demon Realm, how could they exhibit such prowess? If it weren’t for inviting you to oversee today, we would likely face disaster!"
It is known that experts of the celestial Demon Realm cannot be compared with those of other realms.
The celestial Demon Realm is akin to the Immortals of the Human Realm, the gap between them is self-evident.
But besides the clash of top-tier forces, more reliance is placed on the army.
Because no matter how strong those experts of the celestial Demon Realm are, they cannot kill everyone.
If in the end, he ends up alone, then the battle would be meaningless.
"Charge!"
The Tianyang City Lord shouted loudly, as the leader of the Allied Forces this time, he naturally had the right to command.
At his command, tens of thousands of troops marched straight into Dongwen Mountain.
Yet they were completely unaware that many from the Free Heaven Country were hidden in the mountains on both sides of Dongwen Mountain.
Xiu Huang, seeing so many people, couldn’t help but mutter, "Unexpectedly, they brought so many people this time, seems they’re planning to catch us all in one sweep."
A subordinate beside him asked, "Boss, should we think of preserving our strength?"
Xiu Huang slapped him, "Hmph! Nonsense, do you know who Your Majesty is? If we were to stay behind, do you think Your Majesty wouldn’t notice?"
"Yes, yes, the Family Head is right, I forgot about that, how foolish of me."
The demon chief chuckled.
After the army completely entered Dongwen Mountain, Xiu Huang seized the moment and issued a command.
"Brothers, attack, make sure they don’t return!"
Following Xiu Huang’s command, all the demon chiefs pushed down rolling stones from the mountains.
The stones fell into the valley, causing the Demon Soldiers untenable pain, and they quickly lost hundreds of troops.
In addition, various traps were pre-arranged.
Before the two sides even met, the Tri-City Allied Forces had already lost over two thousand troops.
Seeing the results, Xiu Huang laughed heartily, "See, this is the advantage of our foresight, losing so many troops right at the first clash."
But Xiu Huang knew the next step was crucial, to fight with real weapons.
The demon chiefs rushed down and soon engaged in melee with the Tri-City Allied Forces.
However, taking advantage of the terrain, they didn’t suffer too many losses.
From afar, the Weishui City Lord loudly commanded, "We must not let them escape, annihilate them!"
Then these Demon Soldiers seemed to be in a frenzy, pursuing relentlessly, and Xiu Huang saw this and knew it was time to retreat.
So he had his subordinates divide into several groups and dispersing.
Other demon chiefs hidden deep already saw the change in the situation.
"Indeed fooled, they think they can threaten us with sheer numbers."
Kui Jiang, along with demon chiefs from two other peaks, sneered, then waved a large hand to lead his men in an encirclement and ambush.
After delving deeper, these Demon Soldiers realized they had fallen into a trap, for other demon chiefs were lurking in the depths.
"Not good, didn’t expect this group had an ambush, no wonder their numbers were initially so few!"
The Demon Soldiers panicked, and after chasing to this point, their numbers were scattered, leaving just over ten thousand here.
"Don’t panic!" the leading Tianyang City Lord said, "They are only about two thousand, they cannot possibly be our match!"
The Tianyang City Lord looked around, knowing the enemy’s numbers were extremely low, and felt there’s no need to fear.
But what worried the Tianyang City Lord more was why no experts appeared?
Just as he was puzzled, Kui Jiang suddenly stood at the mountain peak, "Tianyang City Lord, today I shall meet you!"
Kui Jiang laughed arrogantly and then charged toward the Tianyang City Lord, with his demon chiefs following suit.
Another melee battle was inevitable, Xiu Huang had taken his men deep into the forest, surrounding and harassing.
An unexpected attack always managed to cause significant trouble for the remaining Allied Forces.
"Damn it, they are far too familiar with this terrain, we don’t know where bandits might suddenly emerge!"
A leading lieutenant couldn’t tolerate such continuous tension anymore, they always had to be on guard for surprise attacks and fend off deadly strikes.
They were extremely unfamiliar with the landscape here, and up till now, they hadn’t found the enemy’s base camp.
If they could find the base camp location, they could strike right into the Yellow Dragon.
But unfortunately, due to Xiu Huang leading his men continuously interfering, they hadn’t progressed much distance.
Besides, Kui Jiang and other demon chiefs were also causing interference, making the battle situation appear stalemated for a moment.
"Is that a master of the celestial Demon Realm?"
Always among the Tri-City Allied Forces, the Old Sky Demon looked toward Du Feng on the highest mountain.
