Chapter 217 This melon comes from the Demon General's Mansion
Amidst the black tide of demons, countless people were bloodthirsty, for they knew very well that if these demons were allowed to break through the ancient city's protective array, then it would be the ordinary mortals who would suffer the consequences.
Beyond this border, how many millions of ordinary people have settled here?
Therefore, even if these soldiers shed their last drop of blood, they did not want to give these demons a chance to break through the defenses.
"Brother Tiezhu, if I'm gone and my body can't be found, please give my parents the storage bag I kept under the communal sleeping area in the camp, and tell them that I'm sorry to them."
Beside the city wall, a soldier wielding a scimitar was fighting against the charging demons, his back covered in blood.
The comrades behind him nodded repeatedly and replied, "You too, remember to give them the storage bags from under my bunk."
His comrade in front of him suddenly burst into laughter: "You little rascal, you were hiding in the same place as me! No wonder you've been sneaking around all the time, you've got some good stuff inside!"
Tie Zhu nodded helplessly. There was only so much space inside the tents, so everyone was hiding under the communal sleeping area. They were just pretending not to know.
"By the way, you said it wasn't time for the newcomers to arrive, so why did another group of people come? I saw some little kids around ten years old before. What's going on with this group? Doesn't the Southern Region have anyone else? Why send such young children?" Thinking of this, Tie Zhu became a little angry.
"I saw it too. Who knows what the generals are thinking? Perhaps the situation in the rear is really quite urgent, otherwise why would they bring these little guys to the battlefield?" a comrade said while stabbing a demon to death.
"I wonder what these guys are capable of. They all look so pampered, they probably can't even lift a real greatsword!"
He casually remarked that the general and his men had acted impulsively. They should have at least sent real soldiers. What were these kids who had never fought a war? Were they just here for sightseeing?
However, before they could even utter a few words of complaint, they were suddenly surrounded by a dozen or so mid-level demons. These demons, with their soft bodies and insect-like forms, wrapped themselves around them tightly, like snakes coiling around them.
The two soldiers were caught off guard and were almost strangled to death by the group of demons. After finally breaking through the encirclement, they encountered another group of mid-level demons, who were even stronger than the previous demons.
Just as the two seriously wounded soldiers thought they were going to die today, and had even taken out paper to write their wills, a whooshing sound suddenly came from behind.
These demons, who had just been dancing wildly with the demons, were swiftly severed by streaks of silver light, their soft limbs falling to the ground and spraying black and red blood everywhere.
Not only that, the two soldiers who were just writing their wills and hadn't even realized what was happening were swiftly carried away from the demon's gaping maw by a silver longsword.
Tie Zhu, so frightened he dropped his pen, was utterly bewildered: "???"
What suddenly flew over and then suddenly flew away?
Oh wait, I didn't mean to, I brought him and his friend along too!
Finally, the iron pillar, which had been thrown against the wall by the silver ancient sword, was completely stunned. He was rescued just like that? So there was no need to write those wills before.
Despite losing the only piece of paper they had, the two of them were still very grateful, at least they had the opportunity to kill more demons!
The two men clenched their fists and looked down along the ancient city wall, where they discovered a towering tree rising from the ground.
The silver ancient sword that had saved him before was darting around in the demonic tide. Soon, many more people came over, most of whom were seriously injured and were quickly carried away.
Moreover, further away, there were many people dressed in the same clothes as them, holding all sorts of weapons, firmly blocking the advance of the demons.
The sounds of talismans exploding came from all directions, along with the sound of spirit swords piercing the air, and the roars of lions...
In the quiet night sky, one murderous melody after another drifted through the air. The disciples of the Myriad Sound Sect, suspended in mid-air, used their voices to shatter one swaying demon after another.
Further away, the light of arrays shone brightly, and many array masters set up arrays on the spot, enveloping wave after wave of demons.
Some alchemists even refined explosive pills and threw them out handful after handful.
Seeing these scenes, more and more rescued soldiers were deeply moved. They took a pill and soon charged back into battle, and even the doctors in the rear could not stop them.
Enraged, the physician from Medicine King Valley, dressed in a white robe, stomped his foot and rushed down with bottle after bottle of poison.
The endless stream of demons was quickly contained, and countless soldiers were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as they were filled with endless emotions, a tender voice suddenly rang out in the dark night.
[Lan Yue: Oh dear, this makes me seem a bit useless. Well, let's just have a little gossip then. Whose gossip, I guess?]
[Let me see... This demonic tide was actually organized by the Demon General's Mansion in the south? This Demon General's gossip seems quite interesting...]
