Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 824 The Higher Demon Takes Action
Rumble…

In the outer city, violent collisions continued to be heard. The once exquisite buildings were reduced to ruins and were even undergoing a second crushing.

Taking advantage of the geographical location, the professionals in the upper city also had a head-on collision with the abyss demons.

A large number of abyss demons die all the time, and more demons fill the gap.

Although the demon army of millions is a large number, it is not as exaggerated as imagined when placed in front of such a huge city, and the number of demons that can launch an attack at the same time is also limited.

Because of the head-on collision, many professionals began to lose personnel, and both sides were competing with each other to consume their strength.

The advantage of the demons is naturally that under the command of high-level demons, they will burst out with the spirit of defending immortality, and all of them are extraordinary people, which gives them the dual advantages of quantity and quality.

The biggest advantage of professionals is naturally the geographical location that they have been operating for a long time and can sustain long-term consumption.

At this moment, the two sides collided, and both wanted to use their own advantages to offset the other side's disadvantages.

"Ancestor, the demon army has been stopped. Please give me your instructions for the next step."

In the main city, the heads of various families also gathered around the only remaining Golden Ancestor.

At this time, the safest place is naturally to follow the strongest person.

"Block?"

The Tai family ancestor looked across the barrier and scanned the huge battlefield. The enemy's real attack had not yet begun, so it was too early to be happy.

At least the higher-level demon on the opposite side hasn't made a move yet, and the current attack is just a test.

Although they were far away, the ancestor of the Tai family still felt a suffocating breath coming from afar. It was the breath of a strong man.

These families are all at the silver level and have not broken through to the gold level, so they don’t understand how big the gap between these levels is.

Even without the intervention of a legendary being, a top gold-level master can change the situation, not to mention that the other party is not alone.

Therefore, even though he was stationed in the main city, he did not dare to relax his vigilance in the face of the demon army.

Since the other party was able to imprison other ancestors, it was obvious that this large-scale invasion was not a spur-of-the-moment impulse, but was premeditated long ago.

In this case, doesn't the other party know how difficult it is to break into the main city?
But he still came, which at least shows that the other party still has some confidence in his heart.

In this case, how can the ancestor of the Tai family feel at ease? Once the city is broken, many clansmen will have to face the demons of the abyss. Even if they win, it will be equivalent to losing in the end.

"Don't be happy too soon. The commander of the demon army has not taken any action yet." The ancestor of the Tai family said seriously.

"With the ancestor here, I believe the demons cannot break into the city." These clan leaders are even more confident than the ancestor of the Tai family himself.

The six families have accumulated countless years of strength, and with a gold-level ancestor personally in charge, without a dozen gold-level masters, don't even think about breaking into the main city.

"Ugh!"

The Tai family's ancestor sighed in his heart. Although these people were loyal to the family, they had become extremely spoiled after a long period of peace.

This kind of change in mentality and habits is difficult to change in a short period of time without major stimulation.

"How about arranging people to go to other towns to seek support?" asked the ancestor of the Tai family.

It might be unrealistic to expect other ancestors to break the demons' captivity and come to support in a short period of time. The best thing would be for other towns to come to support.

"I checked the status of the soul lamps and found that three of them are still lurking, looking for a chance to leave."

Speaking of this, the faces of the family heads who had looked happy just now turned ugly.

"And the distress message we sent out has not received a response. I'm afraid it has been blocked."

As soon as these two pieces of information came out, Blackwater City almost became an isolated city, completely losing contact with the outside world.

“It seems that these demons are not only well prepared, but they also want to completely sacrifice all of us.” The Tai family’s ancestor felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

This feedback revealed not only that Blackwater City had become an isolated city, but more importantly, the demons had made their actions clear for them.

The completeness and determination revealed in it are chilling.

"We can only rely on ourselves to save ourselves."

The Tai family ancestor looked into the distance. If he wanted to survive, he had to rescue the other ancestors and the War King's men. Only if the entire Blackwater City worked together would they have a chance to survive this disaster.

However, the biggest problem has already been faced. How to stop the invasion of the terrifying demon army while rescuing the besieged ancestor?
Or do we hope that they can break free from the demons' captivity and come back for help?
Boom...

At this moment, a shocking explosion suddenly sounded, and a fortress in the outer city suddenly collapsed under the attack of demons.

Without the protection of the formation barrier, the professionals in the fortress were instantly exposed to countless demons.

In just a moment, many professionals engaged in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat with the demons.

It’s not that the professionals are weak, but that the demons have the advantage in both quantity and quality, and they are equally fearless of life and death.

The army is composed of minor demons, lower-level demons, middle-level demons, and demons comparable to professionals. When there is a commander, it is equivalent to a dimensionality reduction attack to the professionals who are used to being idle.

In an instant, countless professionals died under the devil's blade, and the blood dyed countless buildings red. In the end, not even blood was left.

The essence of flesh and blood from the extraordinary people in the main world is a treasure bestowed by God to the demons and should not be wasted easily.

There were professionals who wanted to escape to other castles, but unfortunately the surrounding demon army did not give them the opportunity.

The wailing of a large number of professionals resounded throughout the battlefield, and was then drowned out by the more intense collisions and the roars of demons.

An outer city fortress fell, and the professionals inside were instantly wiped out under the siege of a continuous stream of demons.

The war puppet also wanted to provide support, but was also blocked by the demons that followed.

Faced with the breached fortress, the professionals among the war puppets thought for a moment, but still did not dare to approach easily and leave the coverage of the main city and other fortresses.

Although the war fortress is powerful, the strength of the elite demons is equally strong, and there are also higher-level demons eyeing it in secret.

Once the support of the entire battlefield is lost, the war fortress will not be able to withstand the attack of the demons.

One fortress has already been lost, and the war puppets, such elite weapons, cannot be lost easily again.

Looking at the breached fortress in the distance, with the eyesight of a professional, he could see the tragic situation clearly.

The sight of broken walls and even corpses being eaten till nothing was left made many professionals finally understand what kind of situation they were facing.

Looking at the collapsed fortress, the Tai family's ancestor's face was first filled with shock, then anger.

This problem occurred when the enemy's higher-level demons did not take action. There is no doubt that it was not because the professionals in the fortress were careless, but that there was a problem with the construction or resources of the fortress.

Thinking of this, the ancestor of the Tai family couldn't help but cast an angry look at the six family heads.

"Ancestor..."

The six family heads were very embarrassed. There was nothing they could do about this incident.

They had naturally heard about the clansmen reselling warehouse resources, but they just turned a blind eye. As a complete power, Shangcheng District had relatively complete systems and naturally had corresponding guarantees to deal with war.

Part of the annual income will be exchanged for various resources and kept in various warehouses for emergency use.

However, there has not been a war in Blackwater City for a long time, so naturally some people have set their eyes on these resources.

As a result, now that the war has really begun, the actions that you once took lightly will eventually turn into a sharp sword that stabs you.

"Ugh!"

The ancestor of the Tai family sighed. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Even for him, it is impossible to verify every corner of the family in detail.

"Check the inventory in various places and give me complete information. I don't want this situation to happen again!" The Tai family ancestor's tone revealed murderous intent.

It is a special time to do something special, especially when this behavior itself is a capital crime.

If we had known this earlier, we could have tried to mobilize resources from other places or even the main city to provide support, and we could have held out a little longer.

But now that the fortress has been breached, we can’t even provide support.

"Yes!"

The heads of the various families retreated hastily, and were very angry about this. Naturally, they did not want the city to be broken.

If the enemy is really too strong and cannot be stopped, it would be fine, but if one is killed by one's own people, it would be really frustrating.

Looking at the people leaving, the ancestor of the Tai family couldn't help but worry about defending the city.

"You must keep it!"

……

"What a solid defense!"

On the other side, the bull-horned demon pushed the army to surround the entire upper city area and launched an attack on the outer city's fortresses and the main city.

While his demons and professionals were fighting, the horned demon was carefully observing the arrangement, looking for flaws in the human defense.

Although humans actively organized attacks, facing the entire demon army, they could only be considered strategic defense.

However, relying on the combination of the outer city and the main city, the entire defense is flawless, at least for the demons at this moment.

If they really had to fight to the death, even if they wiped out all of these millions of demon troops, it would probably be difficult to wear down the enemy's defenses.

The life or death of his subordinates does not matter, but if something important happens, the Bull-Horned Demon will not be able to go back to see the lord.

Even though a fortress was accidentally breached just now, it does not affect the entire human defense system.

"We have to think of a way." The horned demon thought. The richness of the main world made the demons jealous, but it was also difficult to take it easily.

"I can smell delicious food." The upper demon beside the bull-horned demon sensed the extremely thick breath of life in the main city, and an intoxicated look appeared on his face.

"They are all gifts for the lord."

The horned demon also sneered, thinking that these alone could resist the lord's attack? There is no defense that cannot be broken.

"The situation is almost there, it's our turn to take action." said the horned demon.

As soon as he finished speaking, the upper demon at the side spread his wings behind him and rushed directly into the battlefield.

Swish!
A black shadow flashed by, and the professional who was following the war puppet to kill the enemy suddenly found that his companions had disappeared.

"It's up there!" A cry of surprise rang out, and then everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky.

I saw that the companion who had just disappeared was now fixed in the air in the form of a cross. Then a large number of bats appeared out of thin air, constantly circling around his companion, tearing his flesh and blood bit by bit.

The screams were deafening, and soon the white bones could be seen beneath the skin and flesh.

"stop!"

Some people couldn't hold back and jumped up directly, leaving the range of the war puppets and wanted to provide support.

However, just as they approached, a series of piercing sound waves resounded through the sky, accompanied by a heavy sneak attack, and the person who wanted to save his companion was also fixed in mid-air.

A sneak attack by a superior demon is an irresistible force for the professionals below him.

"Don't leave, follow the war puppet and prepare to retreat." A professional shouted.

The enemy's upper demon, which is comparable to the gold level, has taken action, so they have to be more careful with their actions.

The next moment, the professionals who were killing enemies around the war puppet jumped into the puppet one after another, not daring to stay outside for too long.

Then the war puppet took a step forward and approached the nearest fortress.

Although the power of the war puppet is not weak, it is far inferior to that of a gold-level master. It must rely on the power of other fortresses to have any ability to resist.

"Such a big toy, please leave it to me."

The bats that were just gnawing on flesh and blood instantly gathered into a ball and crashed directly into the war puppet.

Bang!
A heavy groan was heard, and the tall war puppet suddenly became unstable. The operator inside also felt a constant pressure coming.

"It's so hard, my head hurts."

The bat demon on the other side couldn't help but rub his head and looked at the war puppet in front of him with interest.

It is surprising that just this thing can withstand the attack of the upper demon. It is worthy of being a creation of the main world.

“It would be good to put it on display.”

The bat demon once again transformed into thousands and surrounded the entire war puppet, making it unable to move.

Various attacks continuously bombarded the puppet, causing the people inside to suffer great pain.

"The higher-ranking devil has finally made his move!"

The ancestor of the Tai family looked at the appearance of the bat, and its aura, which also belonged to the golden level, was extremely eye-catching in the entire battlefield.

"There is definitely more than one higher-level demon."

The ancestor of the Tai family was thinking, looking at the upper demons who were rampant on the battlefield, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

The next moment, the ancestor of the Tai family flew out of the main city fully armed and headed straight for the bat demon.

The bat demon who was attacking the war puppet also instantly felt the emergence of a life like a star, and his face was filled with joy.

"Haha, he finally took action." The Bat Demon said happily, and directly dropped the war puppet to meet the newcomer.
