Chapter 171 - Churning Smoke (1/2)
The demon monarchs immediately surrounded Jiang State Capital’s four city walls. Only Blackwater Palace Lord and the ten Skydemons were left on the plain.
“All of you, move out as well,” instructed Blackwater Palace Lord indifferently. “According to our agreement, we will infiltrate Jiang State Capital and carry out a ma.s.sacre. We will force the G.o.dfiends to appear before killing them.”
“Yes.” The ten Skydemons respectfully obeyed the order, split into four squads, and disappeared from the plain.
Blackwater Palace Lord looked at the distant Jiang State Capital before his body silently transformed into black water. The black water entered a nearby river and rapidly moved towards Jiang State Capital at terrifying speeds.
…
Outside Jiang State Capital’s western city wall.
The demon monarchs were blurry shadows as they charged towards the western city wall extremely quickly.
“We’ve finally arrived at the western city wall after taking a 150 kilometer detour. The western city wall is the furthest, so we were the slowest to arrive. The demon monarchs have already arrived at the other three walls.” Demon Monarch Goat looked at the towering western city wall in front of him. Currently, 30 demon monarchs were split into 12 groups. They were scattered around the western city wall—that spanned dozens of kilometers. Two demon monarchs stood beside Demon Monarch Goat.
“Leader, the demon monarchs are waiting for your command.” The other two demon monarchs were filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Demon Monarch Goat’s excited eyes filled with killing intent.
They had been hiding in the human world for too long. They could finally storm a large city, something they didn’t dare do in the past.
However, there were no Marquis G.o.dfiends in the city, while a fourth Firmament Skydemon led their attack!
“Let’s begin.” Demon Monarch Goat’s sharp claws pointed at the gloomy sky.
Swoosh.
Blinding white light shot out from Demon Monarch Goat’s claws and into the sky. The beam of white light—1000 feet wide—was extremely eye-catching. Even mortals could see the dazzling beam of light from tens of kilometers away, much less the demon monarchs.
The light was a signal—the signal to attack together!
“Kill!” The demon monarchs led by Demon Monarch Cat—scattered outside the dozens of kilometers-long eastern city wall—charged at the city wall rapidly. At the southern city wall, the demon monarchs—led by Demon Monarch—also moved. Demon Monarch Tiger led the charge on the northern city wall. Demon Monarch Goat led the charge on the western city wall.
“Demon monarchs, there are demon monarchs!” The soldiers patrolling the city walls shouted frantically. Since the demon monarchs were no longer concealing themselves as they charged towards the city walls, the soldiers immediately saw their large figures.
Furthermore, since this was a state capital, the generals of the four city walls each had a Demon Seeking Token. Once demonic powers were released within 25 kilometers of the Demon Seeking Token, the tokens would alert the generals.
The four generals were shocked to see their Demon Seeking Tokens burning red-hot. After rus.h.i.+ng out of their towers, they saw the demon monarchs that were charging towards the city walls. The demon monarchs’ speed made the mortal soldiers feel despair.
“Light the beacons!” screamed the generals.
In fact, the soldiers had already begun to light the beacons before they were even ordered to do so. Lighting the beacons was standard procedure once they discovered demon monarchs coming.
Billowing smoke rose from Jiang State Capital’s four city walls. The soldiers—on any city wall where a demon monarch was sighted—lit the beacons. Instantly, smoke from over a hundred beacons billowed up!
“Hahaha…” The demon monarchs jumped up the city walls.
These 80-kilometer-long, 300-foot-tall city walls were not used to block demon monarchs, but ordinary demons! No matter how tall they built the walls, demon monarchs could scale them easily. Mortal soldiers were not threats to demon monarchs.
Whoosh.
