Free Web NovelChapter 517: Chapter 367: Tai Nan City Battlefield, Battle the Netherworld Dog Again! (Double-Length)
Tai Nan City, as the major city in the south, is significantly larger in area than the neighboring Feng City and far exceeds Feng City in registered population.
The group stood atop a mountain, gazing into the distance at the great city in the dim environment.
Everyone remained silent, their expressions growing increasingly grave.
In the distance, the roars and howls of demon beasts were so dense and chaotic they resembled a mountain crashing into the sea, forming massive noise pollution.
Even though the group stood miles apart, they felt irritable and restless, with buzzing in their ears.
"Seems like getting supplies into the city won’t be easy right now..." Gao Shuxi swallowed with difficulty, speaking hesitantly.
Above the distant great city was darkness; those flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water—countless demon beasts blockaded Taiyuan City completely.
Giant insects, giant birds, giant beasts, and bizarre demons formed a massive concentration of demon qi, which overwhelmed even Gao Shuxi, who had seen many major scenes, causing him to gasp in shock.
"Nonsense, right now it’s a question of whether Tai Nan City can hold out! If this southern major city falls, the trouble will be massive!" Wang Shi Fu said solemnly, feeling immense pressure. freeweɓnovel.cøm
The peril Tai Nan City faced was unexpected for everyone.
"Clearly, the intelligence returned a couple of days ago said Tai Nan City was still peaceful; how did it become like this today..." Yang Zhen concentrated intently.
Undoubtedly, the demon race siege had erupted not long ago; it happened either yesterday or today.
Song Changming focused his gaze on a few of the giant beasts exuding demon qi.
Those beasts were the most eye-catching and also the most feared.
Being so far apart, Song Changming couldn’t discern them well, but by estimation, they were likely close to a Great Demon Level threat!
"So this is the intensity of a full-scale invasion by the demon race..." Song Changming thought to himself.
In the past, demons of this level would never appear within Yun Province; even if occasionally passing by, upon discovery, they would surely be besieged and driven away by Human Race elites.
This threat from the demons was too significant; if they went berserk, they could cause desolation for miles, even potentially destroying a Human Race great city!
And now, with the demon race invasion, these powerful demons became increasingly common.
First the Frost Soul group, and now these demons before them.
Even Wang Tianshuang furrowed his brows, finding the situation at Tai Nan City difficult to handle.
Solely relying on the combat power of the 41st Army to relieve Tai Nan City was indeed challenging.
Rashly charging could lead to the entire army, including himself, being lost.
Hence, Wang Tianshuang didn’t launch an immediate attack upon seeing the situation.
While Tai Nan City’s safety was paramount, he wasn’t so selfless as to lead his entire army to freely sacrifice themselves.
The city needed saving, but his soldiers couldn’t be sent to die in vain.
As he sought a strategy, suddenly someone flew in from afar.
"Is it Marshal Wang of the 41st Army!"
The person landed directly at the mountain top where Song Changming and the others were, asking aloud.
Song Changming glanced over; the newcomer wore a Cuiqi Army military uniform, evidently an officer from another army.
"Speak." Wang Tianshuang looked at him, speaking directly.
The man bowed respectfully.
"Lieutenant of the Fifth Army, advance scout of the third battalion, ordered by our Grand Marshal to invite you for a discussion."
"Oh? Is Meng Kunlun here too?" Wang Tianshuang’s eyes lit up, seeing a chance to save the city.
"Yes, besides our army, the Seventeenth Army has also arrived at the western side of Tai Nan City." The Fifth Army scout reported important information.
"Great, lead the way." Upon hearing this, Wang Tianshuang immediately agreed, instructing the entire army to await orders as he followed away.
If two armies joined forces against the demon race, it might still be difficult.
But with three paths of Cuiqi Army gathered here, this news steadied Song Changming and the others’ hearts.
In just a brief period, Wang Tianshuang returned.
Clearly, he had reached an agreement with both the Fifth Army and Seventeenth Army, and the strategy had been settled.
In fact, besides their three armies, there was also another stationed Cuiqi Army within Tai Nan City.
It was precisely due to this Cuiqi Army’s persistent resistance that Tai Nan City remained intact until now, not yet breached.
Upon returning, Wang Tianshuang immediately ordered supplies to park at a safe location away from Tai Nan City’s battlefield, leaving two battalions and two commanders to guard it.
All remaining military forces were to be committed to the upcoming battle. freēwēbnovel.com
"Fifth Army, Seventeenth Army..."
Song Changming stood at the front of ten thousand soldiers, adjusting his stance.
He naturally remembered the Fifth Army vividly.
After all, during the previous military parade, their two armies had engaged in fierce clashes.
Xu Yuan, born with Divine Thunder, and the Fifth Army’s Grand Marshal, the military department’s top elite, Meng Kunlun—they were unforgettable.
The Fifth Army’s combat strength was unquestionable; being on the same battlefield meant they were the best allies.
As for the Seventeenth Army, Song Changming didn’t have a deep impression.
He only recalled that during that past complete military parade, their performance was poor, ranking at the bottom.
The Marshal seemingly had the surname Chu, a member of the Chu Family from Core City, whose prestige was far below Meng Kunlun.
Though the Seventeenth Army might not be as reliable as the Fifth Army, it was part of the Cuiqi Army; its combat power, however lacking, wouldn’t be entirely inadequate, otherwise both the Marshal’s position and any incompetent soldiers would be immediately removed.
Roar!
Just as Song Changming and others were waiting, a group of giant beasts suddenly appeared in the sky, spotting their army’s presence as they passed, and let out continuous roars and howls, charging toward them.
