Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 1397 - 871: The Advancing Demon Clan
"Another expert!?"
The rebel army had just finished a fratricidal battle and hadn't yet caught their breath when they suddenly saw a mass of the Demon Clan appearing in the distance.
This was enough to scare them to tears!
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was startled, unsure of what to do. At this moment, Hevi quickly used amplification magic to shout:
"Raise the Protective Shield, the Defense Magic on the city walls is still operating normally!"
That's right, because this sudden battle was caused by internal personnel of the rebel army after they entered the city, there was no sabotage of the city walls or the Defense Magic on them, so the Defense Magic covering the entire city wasn't damaged and could still function normally.
Moreover, the Magic Sky Curtain procured from the Dark Moon Church was also still operating smoothly. The biggest mistake the Demon Clan committed was prematurely exposing themselves and charging directly forward.
Let's see how you handle the great magic bombardment of the rebel army!
Those who could still move quickly mobilized; those responsible for activating the Defense Magic rushed to the city walls, those tasked with transporting the wounded began shuttling back and forth, and more combat personnel were racing against time to recover.
Luckily, the intensity of this battle wasn't too extreme compared to a real battlefield, and the rebel army, seasoned by the baptism of fire, could still hold up.
The battle with the brainwashed individuals was initially difficult mainly because they were caught off guard, and there were familiar friends and family on the opposing side, leading to a bizarre and sticky combat situation.
But now, facing the Demon Clan, there were no such concerns.
"Treat these demons like the strong, non-magic Holy Light Church members and just beat them up. Remember to be careful in close combat, they're incredibly strong!"
Fingerley shouted at everyone, loudly speaking about matters related to the Demon Clan.
Scameroon was inland, without any border along the Western Continent, and many members of the rebel army had never seen a living member of the Demon Clan in their lives, let alone understood their traits.
As one of the few in the team who had long dealt with the Demon Clan, Fingerley had to explain the precautions against fighting the Demon Clan, lest the rebel army be caught off guard.
"Why are demons appearing here?"
Matilda stood on the city wall, Hell's March forming a telescope in front of her eyes, allowing her to clearly see the approaching enemy horde.
Strangely shaped, as if various creatures had fused together, the bizarre forms, screaming excitedly the moment battle commenced, with large areas of their bodies pitch-blackβthey indeed were the Demon Clan!
This gathered Demon Clan, seen from a distance, looked like a black cloud surging towards Hepa Town. It was impossible to tell how many there were, but they were definitely more numerous than the currently combat-ready members of the rebel army!
"How could a small place like Scameroon gather such a scale of the Demon Clan!?" Matilda nearly swore.
Didn't the Holy Light Church boast about having the world's most advanced Demon Clan detection technology? How could they let the Demon Clan gather to such an extent here in Scameroon without any warning!
She didn't even need to think; it was clearly the Holy Light Church's negligence in monitoring the Demon Clan while rapidly expanding and countering the rebel army, allowing the place called "the land watched by all the gods" to be heavily invaded by demons.
The gods supposedly watching here should close their eyes now.
The situation was truly bizarre.
According to the saying, "When you see a cockroach, it means the house is already full of them," the overwhelming number of Demon Clan outside Hepa Town was surely just the tip of the iceberg, with more of them lurking somewhere unknown.
If news of the situation here were spread, it might even pause Scameroon's civil war to focus entirely on the outer threat. The priority of clearing out the Demon Clan was universally acknowledged to be higher than that of an internal human conflict.
No, rather than considering the impact of revealing the Demon Clan situation, it's better to first think about whether Hepa Town can survive this battle.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Magic Power Cannons were roughly hoisted onto the city walls. When she looked down, it was Luluwo using chains to throw various city defense weapons up. This surely would damage the weapons, but given the dire situation, there was no time to be concerned about such details. π§πππππ«π·π€πΏππ‘.ππ€πΆ
"Finish them off quickly, I'm your most steadfast logistics support now!" Luluwo gave a thumbs up to the people on the city walls.
Since being attacked by the Light Eagle Group in Yanor Kingdom and forced to hide in the Sain Dungeon, she developed a stress-induced psychological shadow towards the Demon Clan.
It's not fear of the Demon Clan, but rather, upon seeing these creatures, she couldn't help but want to crush them to dust, rolling back and forth in regret for letting even one escape. It is said that Dal even invited her to join the Fran Guard because of this.
The soldiers preparing for battle swiftly climbed the city walls, logistical personnel successfully established several supply lines, magicians were positioned and ready to manipulate the Magic Sky Curtain, and Hepa Town quickly completed its deployment.
Now, they awaited only a command from Hevi on the city walls to launch a saturation magic bombardment on the Demon Clan, sending the hideous creatures to face past Demon Kings.
The people on the city walls kept a close eye on the advancing pace of the Demon Clan, watching them step by step approach the coverage range of the Magic Sky Curtain, impatient to unleash their repressed fury on these aliens.
