Shen Yin Wang Zuo Chapter 824: A Critical Attack (III)

Chapter 824: A Critical Attack (III)

Samigina’s objective was to penetrate the Temple Union in the shortest time possible. How could he miss such a great opportunity? As a result, he chose to launch a critical attack when the Southeastern Fort was the weakest and take it in one fell swoop.
The strongest hundred thousand out of the army of five hundred thousand had finally appeared on the battlefield, to end it all in a single stroke.
The other demon gods did not accompany Samigina to battle. Now, even the demon gods without clans were resentful. Of course they could tell what Samigina’s ambitions and objectives were. However, what could they do about it?
The overall strength of the Fiend Clan even surpassed the Moon Demon Clan and Star Demon Clan. Ten thousand Fiends was a terrifying force. There were four Fiend Kings, combined with countless Fiend Commanders, Fiend Lords and Grand Fiends. They were skilled in both physical battle and magic with tough bodies and intelligence that was on par to humans. With a hundred thousand fiends mobilised at the same time, how terrifying of a sight was that!
Even the other demon gods knew that Samigina wanted to claim all the merit by taking action now, as well as take away all the items in the Southeastern Fort for himself. However, what could they do? Could they rebel against the Demon God of Death who stood among the five great demon gods?
They could not, nor could they afford to. Even if they had an army of over three hundred thousand if they poured their forces together, they were not on the same page. In particular, it was impossible for the clans without demon gods to listen to their orders. There was not a demon god bold enough to serve as a leader. As a result, they could object, but they really could not revolt.
The battlefield before the Southeastern Fort gained some momentary peace, but the atmosphere over the entire battlefield became even more pressing.
Large numbers of demons retreated from the front times, As they retreated, they gradually dispersed to the left and right. This also made the hearts of the human powerhouses tighten despite only just easing up slightly.
The Fiend army of a hundred thousand approached the Southeastern Fort like a flood. Under the request of Samigina, they purposefully moved slower, which lead to the warriors of the Southeastern Fort to experiencing an even deeper impression of the tremendous pressure they faed.
On the walls of the Southeastern Fort, a portion of them ranging across all the vocations had taken part in the holy war five years ago. However, even during the holy war back then, the demons had never launched a crazy attack like this.
A crazy, constant attack that lasted for a day and night regardless of the consequences, all composed of the strongest clans and elites the demons had to offer. This was the first time the humans had witnessed something like this, the unrelenting force of the demons!
Although the losses of the Southeastern Fort were not as great as the demon’s, it still came at a cost. And for some reason, the magic cannons of the fort had vanished. Although the battle prowess of the humans increased tremendously when the six vocations worked together, the emey was just too powerful. There were five hundred thousand demon elites! Just how terrifying of a force was that?
Most of the troops from the Southeastern Fort were exhausted and injured. The warriors and knights were slightly better off due to their numbers, which allowed them to rotate in and out of battle. However, the mages had been fighting continuously. Even when Qiu Yonghao ordered them to rest, they did not. They were dying from exhaustion by remaining on the walls and continuing fighting. Their magic had already run dry. Even with the replenishment from the magic crystals, they had mentally over-exhausted themselves. Basically every single magic user’s eyes were bloodshot.
However, the battle had still yet to end. Samigina had no intention of recalling the troops and resting up. He planned the opposite. He had finally unleashed his own Fiend army, which also formed the greatest force the demon army had to offer. Despite had already begun to appear in the eyes of many on the walls of the fort. Even though they matched the opponent in terms of number, they all knew just how powerful the Fiends were. Once this army of Fiends had launched a full scale attack on the walls, they would be impossible to stop.
Qiu Yonghao’s gaze was piercing like hawk’s as he stared at the Fiend army that slowly approached them. He could sense the weakness of his soldiers as well as their helplessness and despair. However, he was still teeming with fighting spirit.
Come, Samigina, come. I’ve waited for you for long enough now.
“Seniors, please get ready,” Qiu Yonghao said to the three mages beside him politely.
“Little Qiu, you’re very impressive. You do live up to the title of temple head of the Warrior Temple,” for some reason the leading mage praised Qiu Yonghao. Afterwards, the three mages turned around and left in a hurry. They vanished from the top of the walls in the blink of an eye.
The knights and warriors that had collapsed on the ground from exhaustion all stood up and picked up their weapons. The mages also struggled to lift their magic staves. The spells they could use was severely limited now, but they could only hope to kill a few more enemies in the final moment.
Every single person’s eyes filled with determination. What was the holy war? This was an endless battle between two races. There was no room for easing up. With how wildly the demons had launched their attacks, once they pierced the fort, they all knew how the demons would engage in slaughter. Since that was the case, they might as well battle to death.
The battlefield was the best place for training any member from the six temples. Not only would their cultivations be trained, their character would be forged as well. Without any doubt, as they watched the Fiend army approach them, the minds of every single person from the six temples was forged. If they could survive this battle, then they would all become true elites of the six temples.
“All magic users, rest when you are,” Qiu Yonghao suddenly gave a rather strange order, which surprised the mages, summoners and priests.
The enemies were right before them, so why did he make them rest?
“This is an order. We have achieved certain victory,” Qiu Yonghao stressed. At the same time, his gaze had already locked onto Samigina in the distance.
All the Fiends on the ground amounted to seventy percent of the Fiend army, while the Fiends above the sixth step that could fly in the air amounted to the remaining thirty percent. However, they did not fly particularly high. In order to increase the pressure on the Southeastern Fort, they all flew at an altitude of a hundred to a hundred and fifty meters.
The Fiends were a powerful clan skilled in both physical combat and magic. If their overall strength was taken into account, they were a terrifying existence only second to the Devil Dragons! The four Fiend Kings acted as the commanders of four groups broken up by location, while Samigina resided in the centre. He showed disdain and intense killing intent on his face.
Despite the setbacks with how the Southeastern Fort was tougher than he imagined it to be, none of it mattered anymore. Samigina was completely confident that the next attack could breach the Southeastern Fort. These people from the six temples would only become the stepping stones to his advance.
He could not kill ordinary humans, but the demons definitely had no reason to show any mercy to the six temples. This was their greatest opportunity to weaken the humans. If they did not cripple the humans, how would the demons be able to maintain their absolute advantage over them?
The Fiend army drew closer and closer. Two and a half kilometers, two kilometers, one and a half kilometers…
Finally, the Fiend army had reached a thousand meters away from the walls. Samigina’s terrifying figure was completely presented before the humans. A deathly grey gas revolved around him as the terrifying aura of death formed the huge head of a fiend in the air, as if it would bite down on the Southeastern Fort at any time. Even though he was the only one to appear this time, he was the terrifying existence that ranked fourth among the demon gods. Even if all the demon gods that fought earlier were combined, they could not necessarily defeat him. Samigina was confident that there was not a single human in the Southeastern Fort that could rival him.
“Samigina!” At this moment, a woman’s shout rang out.
The voice appeared very suddenly, but it was abnormally clear. The sound waves seemed to roll in from all directions, forcing Samigina to shudder slightly. He could tell from the voice that they had not come with kind intentions.
In the next moment, Samigina seemed to see the thing he feared the most. He actually flew backwards, immediately fleeing to several thousand meters away. Shock was plastered across his face.
What did he see?
He saw a tower, a tower that had suddenly appeared in the there, descending from the sky. The tower was translucent white. Its colour was filled with a sense of nobility. As it fell, it grew larger and larger. As it shone with white light, it just happened to land on the projection of the Fiend’s head in the air.
Everyone knew that the figure of the Fiend’s head was condensed from Samigina’s power. However ,in that moment, the head figure actually collapsed under the tower. It could not even escape from the white light, immediately turned into grey wisps of smoke and disappearing in the white light, while the scorching white light became even more blinding.
The advancing Fiend army seemed to experience a tremendous pressure weigh down on them. The Fiends in the sky all descended towards the ground as they looked up in shock. The tower had now grown to over three hundred meters tall. It gave off a vague, seven-coloured haze among the white light.
A divine tool. Without a doubt, it was a divine tool! However, even if it was a divine tool, it could not strike so much fear into the Fiend army of a hundred thousand. What they feared was the white light from the divine tool. The aura made the powers of darkness in each fiend surge and tremble violently.
Samigina had completely lost the composure and confidence he had before. His eyes were filled with shock.
It’s that tower. It’s that tower.
If Samigina was asked who he feared the most in his entire life, he would definitely answer with the Demon God Emperor. That was without a doubt. However, if he was asked what object he feared the most in the world, his answer would definitely be the tower he had once faced at the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, the Tower of Eternity that belonged to Long Haochen back then.
