Chapter 2373 - 2372: Demonic Beast War (Part 1)
On the side of the Demon Army, a Demon King sat atop a massive elephant, eyes fixed intently on the fortress ahead.
This giant elephant stood over ten meters tall.
Covered in black scales, it was clearly demonized.
It was at least twice the size of ordinary elephants, with tusks three to four meters long.
Beside it, stood a thousand more giant elephants of the same size. They formed a sinister row, like a series of black mountains.
The Demon King raised his hand, and behind him, a messenger responsible for giving orders, standing on a movable wooden platform a hundred meters high, sounded the horn.
Instantly, the sound of the horn spread across the battlefield.
With the rhythmic beats of drums, the demon beast army at the forefront let out a long howl and launched an attack on the fortress wall.
The ground within and outside the walls shook and rumbled, as if an earthquake had struck, with continuous tremors.
Among them were Human Demon Warriors, all armed with three to four meter long black spears, joining the chaotic demon beast horde.
The demon beast horde rushed like a black tide, roaring and rolling madly toward the fortress wall.
The oppressive sight of this dark mass left those on the wall breathless, clutching their laser guns tightly, palms slick with sweat.
Wang Xun stared intently ahead. When the demon beast horde came within ten thousand meters, he immediately waved his command banner, shouting, "Fire the cannons!"
The artillery units stationed on the wall received the firing order simultaneously, clenched their teeth, and immediately launched the first barrage.
"Fire the cannons!"
"Fire the cannons!"
"Fire the cannons!"
"..."
Suddenly, the wall roared with cannon fire, like muffled thunder, wave after wave, from the south to the east, from east to north, encircling the entire wall.
Shells with trailing flames traced dense arcs in the sky, falling thousands of meters from the fortress.
Boom! Boom!
A spectacular explosion sent shockwaves through the air, raising dust clouds hundreds of meters high, spreading wildly in all directions.
These shells, continuously modified, were hundred times more powerful than before.
Each exploding shell could sweep over a hundred-meter range.
Powered by spiritual energy, each shell contained a small Spirit Stone Formation.
Upon firing, the Spirit Stone would activate the formation, quickly invoking Fire Elemental Force, releasing massive heat within, triggering an explosion.
The intense blast force sent shell casings scattering at supersonic speed, along with shockwaves capable of shattering boulders.
A hundred meters around was a deadly zone, capable of tearing steel into fragments.
The bodies of the Second Generation Demon Race caught in the blast, instantly wailed in agony.
Wherever the shrapnel hit, demon beasts and Human Demon Warriors were torn into bloody pieces within moments.
Only a few high-level demon beasts with scales could withstand the flying fragments and continue their assault.
The impact zone formed by the bombardment quickly turned into a blood-drenched area, stained with a scarlet mist.
Yet, in the face of millions of Demons, these shockwaves clearly couldn’t halt their advance.
The demon beast horde easily breached the ten thousand meter mark.
Wang Xun waved his command banner, activating the Aurora Cannons on the wall.
Blinding dark red beams sliced through the advancing demon horde.
The searing heat, with a sharpness that could cut steel, slashed, sliced, sliced, tearing the demon beasts in half, crashing to the ground.
Before this concentrated barrage of light, the demon wave’s advance finally slowed slightly.
A wave approached, and swiftly got shredded by the beams.
A Demon King narrowed his eyes behind and quickly ordered the Demon General, "Take down those magical treasures!"
"As you command!"
The Demon General bowed, then charged toward the horn with a grunt.
In front of the Demon Army, demonic beasts resembling rhinoceroses but covered with magma-like skin, towering over ten meters, rose up one by one.
Their tails, five to six meters long, ended with massive lumps of flesh, had been prepared from tens of thousands of meters away.
Under the Demon General’s command, they aimed their heads at the Aurora Cannons on the wall.
The Demon General shouted, "Release!"
The magma monsters’ tails snapped forward.
Enormous lumps of flesh hurled fiery magma spheres high into the air from tens of thousands of meters away, raining down toward the fortress wall.
"Enemy attack, defend!"
Ji Xiaolian shouted, and suddenly a light barrier surrounded the fortress, encasing it completely.
This was the Defense Formation personally designed by Long Fei for Southern Capital City, with each activation costing billions in Spirit Stones.
The fiery magma rained down, smashing against the barrier.
Thud, thud, thud, the muffled sounds echoed.
The fiery magma spheres spread over the barrier like oil.
Each fireball, upon explosion, could cover hundreds of meters.
The flames were blinding, forcing the people below to squint, unable to open their eyes.
If this were burning atop the wall, who knows how much death and injury would result.
The Demon Kings on all four sides of the wall raised their eyebrows, quickly sending signals into the sky for reinforcements.
All the generals on the wall watched the ascending flares with growing unease.
No sooner had they prepared, a flame from afar crossed the sky, forming a shadow of a massive blade.
"The blade, it’s the Demon Blade!"
The soldiers responsible for observation screamed fearfully, seeing the massive blade aura approaching from a great distance, growing larger within the field of view, stretching over a thousand meters long, roaring from close to hundreds of thousands of meters above into the void.
Everyone glanced up, calculating in their minds.
The direction of the blade aura pointed directly at the defense formation’s center in Southern Capital City.
Ji Xiaolian’s face trembled, quickly commanding the defense level increased to the maximum, disregarding the loss of Spirit Stones.
The transparent barrier outside Southern Capital City thickened like ice, visibly reflecting brilliant seven-colored rays under the sun.
The massive Demon Blade soon descended from the sky.
The blade tip pierced the void below, twisting the surroundings into a black zone, unleashing fierce winds.
With a hum, the blade tip collided with the defense barrier’s center.
Simultaneously, the void and ground shook with a thunderous rumble, as if the world was crumbling, sparkling with brilliant light in the void.
The entire battlefield fixed their gaze on the Demon Blade.
A tangle ensued, lasting but a breath.
The void suddenly exploded with a deafening roar, and the ground’s Defense Formation shattered, sending smoke a hundred meters high, sweeping the city’s center.
Miles of palaces, houses, and residences were flattened, reduced to ruins, raising clouds of dust into the sky.
