Chapter 327 - Night Attack (1/2)
At night, torches on Changfeng City’s walls burned, illuminating the patrolling soldiers. As a large city with over ten million people, Changfeng City was one of the 62 large cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty (plus Sword Sovereign City). Changfeng City was naturally prosperous, so the security was very tight.
“My lord.”
“My lord.”
The soldiers bowed respectfully to an elderly patrolling guard.
The white-haired elder stopped and stood at the city wall, looking at the dark sky.
Boom! The white-haired elder let out a soft grunt. An invisible Quintessential Essence fluctuation spread out in all directions with him at the center. In the blink of an eye, it covered a distance of ten kilometers.
No demons within ten kilometers. The elder nodded slightly.
Changfeng City had many defensive systems. G.o.dfiend reconnaissance was only one of them. This elder was a Great Solar G.o.dfiend. With a thought, he could probe a radius of ten kilometers! Of course, underground reconnaissance wasn’t his forte. Back then, Fairy Meng was a G.o.dfiend that was skilled at reconnaissance. She could probe a five-kilometer radius with a thought.
Many G.o.dfiends patrolled the city walls.
In Changfeng City, Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow were the strongest G.o.dfiends, and a group of ordinary G.o.dfiends supported them. Most of the ordinary G.o.dfiends were outer sect disciples of Archean Mountain. Very few were inner sect disciples.
“We’ve been waiting here for more than two hours. When do we attack?” Three demon monarchs were hiding four kilometers away from the city and half a kilometer underground. “We just have to heed our orders. Once the higher-ups give the order, we’ll attack. If there are no orders, just wait.”
“Just wait. You’ll just be sending yourself to be killed if you charge in alone.”
The three demon monarchs were chatting.
“How many demon monarchs do you think we sent this time? The three of us came from different places and happened to b.u.mp into each other here.”
“There will definitely be a lot.”
Huh?
The three demon monarchs felt their tokens burning; they quickly took their tokens out.
“Orders are here.” The three demon monarchs exchanged looks and didn’t hesitate to charge upwards.
At that moment, many demon monarchs flew out of the ground. They were all varying distances away from Changfeng City’s four walls. The demon monarchs didn’t hide their demonic powers as they charged at Changfeng City at full speed.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Inside a seemingly ordinary residence near one of Changfeng City’s walls was a ten-foot-tall, black-green, paG.o.da-shaped building. Ten guards were inside this building. The leader of this group was a G.o.dfiend. This building was the mysterious Demon Seeking PaG.o.da. The Demon Seeking PaG.o.da was extremely sensitive towards demonic powers. Just a sliver of released demonic power would be sensed from 50 kilometers away. Furthermore, it could sense demonic powers up to 2.5 kilometers underground. However, the Demon Seeking PaG.o.da wasn’t mobile and wasn’t easily built.
Changfeng City had a total of 12 Demon Seeking PaG.o.das. Six of them were 2.5 kilometers underground to prevent demon monarchs from carrying out underground sneak attacks.
“Demon monarchs.” The mortal guards’ expressions changed drastically.
“Demon monarchs are attacking from outside the city. There’s plenty of them!” The commanding G.o.dfiend’s expression was ugly. “They aren’t even hiding. I can sense more than 300 demon monarchs outside the eastern city wall.”
At this moment, G.o.dfiends appeared on the four walls. They looked out of the city.
“Demon monarchs.”
“The demon monarchs are here.”
The G.o.dfiends could barely see demon monarchs charging over in the dark. All of them had solemn expressions.
Like wildfire, the Skydemon Sect had deliberately spread the news that one million demon monarchs were entering the human world. Every city was prepared to be attacked by hordes of demon monarchs.
Late at night, Meng Chuan continued practicing his saber arts in the courtyard. His senses were sharp. Even though he was in the middle of the city, he could still sense the dense demonic auras outside the city walls.
