Chapter 137 - The Other Position (1/2)

They left Archean Mountain in the morning and arrived at North River Pa.s.s in the afternoon.

“North River Pa.s.s is up ahead.” Marquis Southcloud pointed ahead.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue looked ahead carefully.

A towering, steep city pa.s.s appeared in front of them. Unlike other city pa.s.ses in human history, the city pa.s.ses for fending off demons were rather special. North River Pa.s.s was split into an inner-city pa.s.s, and an outer-city pa.s.s! The inner-city pa.s.s was a circular pa.s.s with a diameter of 1.5 kilometers. The city wall was 800 feet tall and about 200 feet thick! It was as majestic as a mountain. It was too difficult for mortals to build something like this. Medium-sized city pa.s.ses were built by Regis G.o.dfiends personally.

Regis G.o.dfiends had the ability to move mountains. They could move countless boulders and cut them into neat, ma.s.sive blocks of rock. This was how a city pa.s.s was built.

The outer-city pa.s.s encircled the inner-city pa.s.s. It was 2.5 kilometers in diameter, and the city wall was 300 feet tall.

“That’s the World Entrance.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue saw it.

Inside the towering inner-city pa.s.s was a World Entrance—roughly a kilometer long and a quarter-kilometer wide! Through the World Entrance, one could see the Demon Realm vaguely.

Liu Qiyue looked down and spoke via voice transmission, “For the next three years, this will be our battlefield.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.

Many people lived in North River Pa.s.s. Hundreds of thousands of people lived south of North River Pa.s.s. Lesser demons capable of flight slipped through the cracks at North River Pa.s.s and would pose a threat to the surrounding village forts. Therefore, there weren’t any large forts for dozens of kilometers. The forts were all at North River Pa.s.s! Human G.o.dfiends mainly dealt with demon monarchs. They couldn’t deal with all the demons.

To mortals, North River Pa.s.s was relatively safe. It was much safer than ordinary forts outside of North River Pa.s.s. In order to continue the sustained fight on the battlefield, there was a need for many mortals. There were over 20,000 mortal soldiers stationed here perpetually; 30,000 people were in charge of logistics, and over 5000 craftsmen populated their ranks. There were also personnel that provided medical help, delivered grain, etc.

With a high population, there would naturally be commerce. North River Pa.s.s was prosperous.

Whoosh.

The giant fiery-red bird swooped down.

In a brothel’s quiet loft at North River Pa.s.s, a handsome red-robed man lay in the arms of a beautiful courtesan. He drank as he took in the scenery outside the window.

Oh? The red-robed man suddenly sat up straight and looked at the giant fiery-red bird from afar.

He immediately saw Marquis Southcloud on the giant fiery-red bird’s back. He also saw five other G.o.dfiends.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue are here? The red-robed man smiled and returned back to the courtesan’s arms, continuing to enjoy himself.

In a garden at North River Pa.s.s, several plum blossoms had already bloomed.

A woman sat cross-legged with two swords placed on her lap. As she breathed, black and white energy emerged from her nostrils and fused with the two swords on her lap. The two swords also released a sword aura that the woman sucked back into her body.

Huh?

The woman opened her eyes—her gaze was as sharp as swords. As she stared at the giant fiery-red bird that swooped down from the sky, her gaze stopped on Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue. Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue are here? Meng Chuan will fight alongside me in the future. Is he trustworthy?

…

The giant fiery-red bird’s arrival attracted the attention of many G.o.dfiends in North River Pa.s.s.

Whoosh. The giant fiery-red bird landed within General Manor.

“Greetings, Uncle-Master.”

A thin man from General Manor came to receive him. His face was somewhat wrinkled, and he looked rather old.

The five G.o.dfiend disciples and Marquis Southcloud jumped off. Marquis Southcloud smiled and said, “Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, let me introduce you. This is North River Pa.s.s’s Defense General Zhang Yunhu.”
