Chapter 551 A Successful Defense
“Grrrr….”
In the midst of the cold wind, a bone chilling roar could be heard.
Next to me, a Dragon City soldier couldn’t help but shudder. His thin eyebrows rose in fear. He looked to be at most 20 years old, and had the face of a higher class born citizen. He most likely didn’t predict that he would face an ambush after coming to Dragon City, nor did he think that he would be up against such a powerful enemy.
Hybrid Demons was a name that could make the entire continent shiver. In the past, we had all thought that these terrifying demons had been pushed back by the seventeen heroes north of the Ice Ridge Mountains. We had even thought that after the savage battle of the Graveyard of Heroes, that most of the Hybrid Demons had been killed off and that they’d lose all courage to try and invade us again. But we were wrong. Ten thousand years had passed, and in those ten thousand years, they had been recovering their strength and training for this day. Those ancient fourteen King Level Hybrid Demons had been sharpening their claws this entire time and now, they were going to bring their forces upon the continent.
……
“My lord…”
The young Dragon City soldier was trembling and he could barely grip his halberd. He looked at me and whispered, “My lord, tell me, I’m going to die here today, aren’t I? Isn’t that right?”
I was silent for a few seconds and then looked at him square in the face, “Throw away all of the weakness in your heart and face the upcoming battle with courage. Maybe what you have said is right, but maybe you are wrong.”
“But my lord…” His eyes quivered with fear as he said, “Even the fully experienced soldiers were ripped to pieces by the Gravedigger Demons. Even Lord Ah Cai who brought me here to be recruited in the army had an iron spear pierced through his heart. He didn’t even close his eyes when he died… My lord, these Hybrid Demons aren’t something we can deal with, isn’t that right? We’re going to die here!”
I gritted my teeth and calmly responded, “I do not know. But, now that I am here in Dragon City’s territory, I will not even think about these doubts. All you need to do is focus on one thing. That is to battle until the very end, and protect the home behind you!”
“I…. I miss my family….. My father is the Viscount, I…. I want to inherit his position when I go back. I do not want to continue this battle….”
With that, he threw down the halberd in his hand and the Dragon City insignia on his shoulder and began to run into the distance.
Su Ke looked back and said, “Wei, that bastard. How can you be so weak. Did you completely forget the promise that you made when you joined Dragon City?” Damn it, you’re a f*cking coward. The shame of Dragon City!”
Before he even finished his sentence, a screech cut through the air!
“Kong…”
A black figure suddenly flew through the ar. It was some kind of monster with wings. Its arms were attached to these wings, and it flew right over the head of the escaping soldier. That soldier’s head was cut clean off and the monster’s tongue slipped right in with a “Pu Chi” and continued its flight, screeching into the air.
“Peng!”
With an explosive sound, crowds of flying type monsters began to crash against an invisible wall. They screamed as they rammed into the walls. In the sky, Frost’s beautiful figure began to descend and she swung her Severing Beauty. “Ka Cha!” the monster’s body was cut in half and it fell straight towards the ground, spilling blood upon the white snow. At that moment, I could finally see its name. It was a Level 3 Hybrid Demon, The Predator. It was a flying type enemy that was extremely fearsome.
Frost slowly descended onto the city wall and looked up at the night sky as she said, “Su Ke, order a small team to alert the sky army. Looks like it’s not safe up there anymore. These Predators… they must have been watching us for a long time. Have everyone begin to pull in the ground defenses. We cannot be pulled apart, or else we’ll suffer losses to these Predators…”
Su Ke nodded firmly and said, “Yes my lord!”
……
I looked towards the foot of Dragon City and saw countless Gravedigger Demons coming. They advanced towards the city, bearing with the attacks from catapults and crossbows. Looks like they wanted to deal a single crushing blow towards Dragon City. Their plan was extremely clear. They were going to hollow out the Dragon City catapults and ruin our war machines, so that the Hybrid Demons wouldn’t face any more obstacles.
“Keng!”
I pulled my Zhen Yue Sword out of its sheath once more and jumped over the city wall once again. The pressure was much greater this time. There were seven of these Level 2 Hybrid Demon Gravediggers waiting to battle me at the bottom of the wall. The odds were much lower this time…
When I leaped off, I pressed my right sword down and “Pu Chi!” cut through the attack of one of the Gravedigger Demons. Then with a swing of my left sword, I threw [Seven Star Fragment Slash] and cut through three of the Gravedigger Demons. At the same time, I provoked the attack of the rest of the Gravedigger Demons. They swung their arms and threw [Crushing Slash]. Even though my [Wall of Dou Qi] was incredibly sturdy, I still suffered enormous damage——
“9712！”
“8917！”
“9665！”
……
I felt pain sear through my body and I immediately raised my hand and activated [Cleansing Rain] giving myself some health and then gulped down a potion. I was putting my life on the line to win some more time for Dragon City——
“7282！”
“1500！”
