Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 827 Confrontation
The bull-horned demon returned to the army. Although some of them had been lost, there were still more than three million demons.

It is equivalent to more than three million extraordinary people, and the aura gathered together far exceeds that of the gold level.

It's a pity that these forces cannot be fully integrated, otherwise the demon army would be truly invincible.

"Haha, human, come on!"

The bull-horned demon stood in front of the army, looking at the ancestor of the Tai family with a provocative look.

If the other party really dares to attack the demon army alone, the Bull-Horned Demon will let him see what it means to have strength in numbers.

Although it is impossible to integrate the powers into one, it still has what it should have as an army of extraordinary people.

The demon army exuding a majestic aura also made Tai's ancestor's expression much clearer.

Although his brain was overwhelmed by the vast amount of energy and blood, his rationality had not yet completely disappeared.

Looking at the upper demon that had already rushed out of the cage, the ancestor of the Tai family also stopped and dared not continue chasing.

"Ancestor!"

A melodious sound of musical instruments rang out, quieting down the battlefield that was originally filled with killing and noise, and soothing the hearts of many people.

"call!"

The ancestor of the Tai family took a deep breath, looked at the bull-horned demon with some regret, and flew back to the main city.

Looking at the ancestor of the Tai family leaving, the Bull-Horned Demon also felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have retreated so quickly. He could have tried to lure him again.

As long as it leaves the range of the formation, the Ox-Horned Demon is not afraid of the power of the Tai family ancestor. If it can be brought into the encirclement of the demon army, there is full confidence that it can be taken down.

Unfortunately, the performance of the Tai family ancestor just now made the Bull-Horned Demon feel a little frightened, so he chose to save his life first.

However, after returning to the demon army, the bull-horned demon gradually calmed down.

"We have lost a great general. This is worthy of being the main world." The bull-horned demon said with a serious expression.

The battle had just begun, and it had already lost a general, which shocked the Bull-Horned Demon.

Although it was partly due to their carelessness, the bat demon did die at the hands of the professional, and even its corpse was not rescued.

In this invasion, the first wave of demons consisted of no more than seven upper-level demons. Compared with eight million demons, the number was indeed surprisingly small.

Every loss of a high-ranking demon is equivalent to a serious weakening of the demon army.

As for the hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers who died in the formation, they were just a bunch of numbers and were nothing among the ox-horned demons.

Moreover, these demons will not be lost in vain. Even if they are lost, they still have some value.

But the loss of the Bat Demon made it heartbroken.

"We have to think of a solution." The horned demon thought.

The death of the bat demon also made the bull-horned demon feel very wary. Humans might have some hidden tricks up their sleeves.

After all, this is the main world. The world is big enough and nothing that happens is surprising.

Although it had made arrangements when invading Blackwater City, it still unexpectedly fell into carelessness.

The bull-horned demon looked at the main city from afar. The hazy and peerless formation gradually dissipated and returned to the appearance of a war fortress.

Maintaining the formation just now consumes a huge amount of energy. Now that the demon army has retreated, it is natural to take back the formation.

Moreover, this formation itself has great flaws and cannot be used as a regular formation.

Looking at the dispersing formation, the Ox-Horned Demon suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"For a gold-level professional, the power just now may not be so easy to use."

The Bull-Horned Demon killed a higher-level demon head-on in the demon army, and he didn't believe that the other party would not have to pay a price.

Otherwise, he would not have stopped just now, and the backlash would probably be severe.

"Professionals, you can't stop the demon army. Sooner or later, all the worlds will be shrouded by the power of Demon Heaven." The bull-horned demon murmured.

……

Main city!

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor!"

When the ancestor of the Tai family returned to the main city, the six family heads and a group of people came to warmly welcome him.

He killed a high-ranking demon comparable to the gold level head-on and repelled the attack of a million-strong demon army.

The ancestor of the Tai family was as dazzling as a god in front of everyone at this moment.

The crowd, who were originally somewhat panicked by the invasion of the demon army, suddenly gained confidence at this moment.

Under the leadership of the ancestor, they will definitely be able to survive this demon invasion.

Not only the people from the six major families, but also other professionals felt more at ease and their confidence increased after seeing the ancestor of the Tai family.

The Tai family ancestor looked at the confident crowd and nodded secretly: "The devil has not left yet, be prepared and don't take it lightly."

"Yes…"

Everyone replied, and then began to get busy, cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, etc. Facing the demon army was also a protracted war.

After everyone left, the Tai family patriarch followed the patriarchs of the six major families back to the meeting hall.

As soon as he sat down, the Tai family ancestor couldn't control himself anymore and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

As a gold-level professional, he couldn't even control the blood in his body, which shows how serious his injuries were.

"Ancestor!"

Seeing the Tai family ancestor spitting blood from his mouth, the family heads hurried forward and expressed their concern.

They had anticipated the ancestor's injuries, but they didn't expect them to be so serious.

“It’s okay, we can still hold on!” The Tai family’s ancestor shook his head.

How can one gain power beyond one's own limits without paying a price?

The demon army was coming in full force, and if they were not dealt a heavy blow, the Tai family patriarch was even worried that his own people would collapse first, so he came up with this plan.

The results were also very gratifying. Not only did they cover hundreds of thousands of demon armies at one time, they even killed a high-level demon.

With the other ancestors being besieged, being able to reduce the enemy's strength by one upper-level demon would undoubtedly relieve a great deal of pressure on the defending side.

Although the Tai family's ancestor suffered serious injuries, it was still within an acceptable range if he relied on defense.

It directly blocked the invasion of the demon army, dealt a severe blow to the demons' arrogance, and also gave a lot of confidence to the professionals in the city.

As a defender, the most important thing is confidence.

"Everyone, if there are any treasures in the family that can restore the health of gold-level masters, please take them out quickly." The head of the Tai family glanced at the other five people.

If we don't use it now, will we wait until the time comes to give it to the demons? "I understand this." The other five family heads nodded quickly.

They still have this overall view. Now the core of the entire main city is the only remaining Golden Ancestor.

Anyone can be killed now, except the Golden Ancestor. Otherwise, even with the defense of the main city, it may not be able to withstand the invasion of the demon army.

In front of everyone, the ancestor of the Tai family took some treasures that could heal gold-level injuries, and his pale face became much rosier.

However, this injury involves the body and even the essence of the soul. Even with the support of several major golden families, it will be difficult to recover.

The physical essence is fine, but the damage to the soul essence needs to be completely restored, and the Golden Family does not have such treasure.

"Grandpa, what should we do next?" The six family heads looked at the ancestor's actions and felt slightly relieved.

“After the confrontation just now, the demons should be more vigilant and won’t dare to advance rashly.” The Tai family’s ancestor breathed heavily.

"But we still have to be prepared and hold on as long as possible."

For the people in the main city, the ultimate goal is not to completely defeat the demon army, but to delay the support of other forces, or even the return of the besieged ancestors.

After all, this is not the abyss world. If time drags on for too long, it will not be a good thing for the demons.

"understand!"

The six family heads nodded. Although these were all ordinary decisions, they felt more at ease with a backbone around.

"Leave these small matters to me. I hope you can recover peacefully."

Afterwards, the six family heads took their leave to arrange various matters in the main city, leaving the Tai family ancestor alone to concentrate on recovery.

"call!"

Looking at the six family heads leaving, the ancestor of the Tai family immediately sat back in the chair with a tired look on his face, and then took out the body of the bat demon from his arms.

A gold-level upper demon exudes a surging aura even when dead.

Looking at the demon corpse in his hand, the Tai family ancestor's face began to change. A vague power was faintly tempting his spirit.

……

"kill!"

As the formation dissipated, the demons, who were ready for battle, launched another attack on the main city.

But compared to the last time, this time the demon siege became more orderly.

The middle-level demons commanded a group of lower-level demons, the lower-level demons led the lesser demons, and they were assisted by various demons with special abilities. They broke up the whole into small pieces and began to erode the power of the main city bit by bit.

Faced with such an attack from the demons, the professionals in the main city and various fortresses suddenly felt a suffocating pressure crushing them.

Compared with the previous massive large-scale attack, the order displayed by the chaotic demons at this moment is even more breathtaking.

Fortunately, they had just won a great victory, and everyone had gained a lot more confidence. Relying on defensive measures, they firmly resisted the demon's attack.

Boom...

The war puppet reappeared, leading a group of professionals deep into the demon army, wantonly killing the approaching demons to reduce the pressure on defense.

If you defend for too long, you will lose. Since you have the power to resist, you must take the initiative to attack.

"What a powerful weapon!"

A dozen middle-level demons led their armies, staring at the huge war puppet.

"It's just like a beast from the abyss!" said a middle-level demon.

In the abyss, in addition to normal demons, there are also some strange monsters.

Many abyss monsters are also known for their large size and extremely powerful strength.

"Use ranged combined attack."

In an instant, the demons, under the command of the middle-level demon, attacked the war puppets at the same time.

Rumble…

Explosions sounded one after another on the war puppet, and some scorch marks appeared on its extremely hard metal body.

Although the war puppets are powerful, they obviously cannot ignore the attacks of the demons.

The demons treated it as a group and hunted huge monsters, constantly draining the puppet's power.

Under the leadership of the middle-level demon, the numerous demons are no longer a group of scattered sand, but can be called an army.

"We can't let the demons beat us so easily."

The professionals who attacked along with the war puppets naturally noticed the demons' actions.

The professionals did not panic because of this, and arranged everything in an orderly manner. Some launched long-range attacks to block the demons' attacks on the war puppets, while others directly rushed into the demon army to disrupt the demon's attack.

Some professionals enchant the war puppets to increase their attack power and defense, and there are even manufacturing professionals who repair the damage on the war puppets in real time, which is a bit like the coordination between infantry and tanks.

Although it is in the world of gods and demons, many of the most basic concepts are the same.

In addition to war puppets, many professionals also chose to leave the fortress and go out to kill the enemy.

If you keep relying on the fortress to defend, it will be breached sooner or later, so you have to take the initiative to attack.

Professionals from the Upper City undoubtedly have a great advantage when facing demons of the same level due to their more systematic inheritance and sophisticated equipment.

Often, a professional can deal with two or three demons of the same level at the same time.

But unfortunately, the demons won't fight you one-on-one, or even on the same level.

If we only talk about the number of professionals, there are also quite a few in the Upper City District which have accumulated a lot of experience over a long period of time, so the difference in numbers between the two is not that exaggerated.

However, due to the difficulty of professional advancement, most of them are at the Black Iron level, which is equivalent to the lesser demons, and the number of bronze and silver levels has dropped sharply.

However, the demon army that invaded the main world this time can be said to be elite to some extent, and the number of lower-level and middle-level demons is also overwhelming.

After all, the promotion of demons is not that troublesome. Except for the true god level, the number of demons at each level of strength is exaggerated.

If necessary, this demon invasion can even form an army of middle-level demons, which is something that professionals dare not even think about.

The once prosperous upper city area was now completely reduced to ruins, strangling the lives of demons and professionals like a meat grinder.

The upper city still has some resistance, but the situation in the lower city is even more miserable.

The newly built city does not have a deep foundation, and there is not even a gold-level existence.

Although there are some treasures that can threaten the gold level, they are only a threat.

In this state, under the attack of the demon army led by the upper demon, it has become precarious. It can only rely on the unity of all the professionals in the entire War King City to persist.

As for the five ancestors and the war kings near the abyss rift, they tried every possible means and although they killed many demons, they still could not break the cage. They could only anxiously think of new strategies.
