Chapter 817: Make Long Haochen Become the Demon God Emperor? (II) (2/2)
The four Fiend Kings immediately left to set up the arrangements. With Samigina as their commander, even the other demon gods who had accompanied them would not be bold enough to directly state their displeasure. Who could help the fact that he was one of the five great demon gods?
The army lead by Samigina appeared and the Southeastern Fort obviously discovered them.
Qiu Yonghao lead the important members of the Warrior Temple, as well as the leaders of the armies from the five other temples, gathering atop the gates of the Southeastern Fort to gaze into the distance.
Nodding gently, Qiu Yonghao waved his fist about, “They’ve come, they really have come. The information’s completely correct. Demon God of Death Samigina, I’ll have you learn the power of my Southeastern Fort this time.”
During times of war, information was always the most important. A piece of correct information could turn the tides of war. Not only did Qiu Yonghao learn the exact time when his enemies would arrive, he even received detailed information on the number and rankings of the demon gods in the army, as well as the numbers from each demon clan. The information obviously came from Yue Ye’s organisation.
Three days ago, in order to deal with the demon army lead by Samigina, the Southeastern Fort had already made full-scale arrangements. Samigina obviously had no idea that the information about his army had already been sold out to the enemy. Traps upon traps lay before them for them to fall into.
Two hours came and went very quickly. It was impossible for the demon army to recover in just two hours. At most, they could eat those food and rest up slightly. However, even among the demons, military orders were absolute, and there was only one consequence for soldiers disobeying orders, which was death.
As a result, even though everyone voiced their discontent, the demon army still gathered under Samigina’s orders.
Samigina gazed at the Southeastern Fort in the distance and waved his right hand, “Attack. The first to make it into the Southeastern Fort will be rewarded a hundred human slaves.”
Among the demons, the best way to measure wealth was through resources, while human slaves were the most precious resource among demons. Even the demon gods valued human slaves.
The other demon gods who were originally discontent with Samigina arranging his Fiend clan to attack at the end immediately thought of the rich resources and wealth the human world possessed. In that moment, the demon leader forcefully ignored their exhaustion and lead their armies to attack the Southeastern Fort.
It was clearly impossible that Samigina would lead the entire army in a single attack on the fort. However, he had many years of experience in leading, so even if he was using the other clans as cannon fodder, he would not make it too obvious.
The first wave attacked. A total of fifty thousand demons entered the battle. The walls of the Southeastern Fort were not exactly wide, so fifty thousand was the most they could fit on the battlefield.
The ones that charged at the front were the Berserk Demons and Birdy Demons. Neither of the clans were protected by a demon god, so obviously not too many people cared about their fate. However, there was one fact that could not be disputed, which was their battle prowess was rather extraordinary. This time, the demon army of elites did not bring any useless troops. They did not even bring cannon fodder like Dual Bladed Demons.
Accompanying the Berserk Demons and Birdy Demons were the Demonic Eye Soldiers. With the three clans combined, they just about amounted to fifty thousand. As a thick blanket, they charged towards the Southeastern Fort.
It was possible to see from high above in the air that the demon army surged towards the Southeastern Fort like a large swathe of locusts.
Qiu Yonghao gazed at the army in the distance coldly and raised his right hand, “Begin.”
A murmur of magic chants rose up from the top of the walls of the Southeastern Mountain Pass. Dense ripples of elements filled the surroundings. Whether it were the mages, priests or summoners, every single one of them was assigned at least two magic crystals.
After confirming that this was one of the most crucial battles for the Temple Union against the demons in the holy war, or even one of the best opportunities to repel the demons, the Temple Union had gone as far as to use all of the resources it could get its hands on.
The Alliance’s Great Auction House had basically donated all of its equipment and magic crystals. They only asked the Temple Union to provide them with a promissory note detailed everything they had given out.
