Chapter 147 - Meng Chuans Rescue (1/2)
As the three-headed demon monarch stepped out of the World Entrance, his aura immediately expanded as he became a third Firmament demon monarch! Five second Firmament demon monarchs followed behind him.
“Green Mountain Prefecture City is in that direction.” The black-robed Pangoswim pointed in a direction.
“Breach Green Mountain Prefecture as quickly as possible!” Jumo’s eyes were filled with arrogance and ferocity as his voice resounded through the mountain.
Growl—
“Charge!”
“Kill all humans!”
The demons frantically rushed towards Green Mountain Prefecture City. Jumo had never planned on being stealthy. The demonic aura of tens of thousands of demons was too eye-catching. The Godfiends must’ve discovered their arrival immediately.
“Let’s kill the Godfiends of Green Mountain Prefecture first,” said Jumo.
“Alright. After wiping out the Godfiends, we can slaughter the mortals in Green Mountain Prefecture City.” The five second Firmament demon monarchs were filled with confidence.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The six demon monarchs had different bodies, but all were extremely fast as they headed for Green Mountain Prefecture City.
…
Godfiends had keen senses towards auras. The demonic aura from tens of thousands of demons running towards the city was as eye-catching as the sun in the night.
Green Mountain Prefecture’s Jade Sun Palace Lord, Wang Fucheng, as well as the local Godfiend family clan’s patriarch, Hu Xiao, were both sleeping soundly. However, they put on their robes and rushed to their roofs when the 30,000 strong demon army exited the World Entrance.
The demons are here. Wang Fucheng’s expression turned ugly as he immediately sent a voice transmission to the guards. “Demons are attacking. Inform the entire city quickly.”
Demons are about to attack? Two of the guards—permanently stationed at an ancient bell—were terrified. “Yes, Palace Lord!”
Both guards were at the Seamless realm. They were also Jadesun Palace’s experts. They understood what they had to do when demons attacked. They gathered their strength and rang the ancient bell frantically. Their frantic bashes on the bell produced loud clangs! The urgent bell-clanging spread throughout Green Mountain Prefecture City.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Wang Fucheng and Hu Xiao had already transformed into beams of light as they flew towards the north city wall as quickly as possible.
Hu Xiao slowly approached Wang Fucheng and sent a voice transmission. “Palace Lord, do you know how many demon monarchs there are? What about the number of demons?”
“I don’t know, but with such a dense demonic aura, there must be a demon army attacking.”
“Have you sought help?” asked Hu Xiao via voice transmission.
“Of course. I immediately requested for backup the moment I discovered it.” Wang Fucheng was extremely worried. “However, we are 450 kilometers away from the state capital. Even if Marquis Godfiends are extremely fast, it will take them 15 minutes to get here. In 15 minutes, the entire Green Mountain Prefecture will probably be reduced to ruins.”
“We’ll easily slaughter the mortal demons if we can kill the demon monarchs,” said Hu Xiao.
“Let’s go all out.” Wang Fucheng nodded.
…
There were too few Marquis Godfiends. Some were stationed at medium-sized city passes and were not permitted to leave without reason. There were even fewer people that could provide support for the various scattered regions.
In any of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s states, only one Marquis Godfiend could provide reinforcements at any time. This was normal!
There were hundreds of prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The distance between the closest cities to their various state capitals was roughly 100 to 150 kilometers. If one was at the borders of a state, they could be up to 1000 kilometers away. Take the Great Zhou Dynasty’s largest state as an example. Some prefectures were 2500 kilometers away from the state capital. Of course, this state was an outlier, and such a situation wasn’t common.
However, prefectures were usually 500 kilometers away from a state capital. Such a distance would take most Marquis Godfiends 15 minutes to traverse.
But Wang Fucheng didn’t know that the person in charge of reinforcing Green Mountain Prefecture City was North River Pass’s Deputy General Meng Chuan! The rescue personnel was confidential! Many Marquis Godfiends were unaware of their own roles. All they knew was that a certain area was under their charge.
…
North River Pass, the same night.
