Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262 Lost The Right Chance
Upon receiving the news of the city wall being breached, the foreign race commander immediately issued orders. "Everyone, gather at the front city wall and drive these intruders back."
In no time, the foreign race forces within the city began converging towards the city wall.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun’s devil cultivator forces had already begun their counterattack.
The ordinary Corpse Demons were no match for their onslaught; they swept through the city wall like an autumn breeze clearing fallen leaves, creating a large opening.
Subsequent forces also climbed the city wall.
The troops quickly split into three groups, moving in three different directions.
One group, the largest in number, advanced into the city, while the other two, with fewer members, moved along the city wall in two different directions to clear the foreign race forces defending the city.
This created an opportunity for the external forces to enter the city.
Inside the city, the air was filled with battle cries.
The forces advancing into the city soon encountered resistance from the foreign race commander and his troops, slowing their progress.
The foreign race forces inside the city swiftly shifted from offense to defense, holding their ground firmly. They had essential defensive equipment such as doors, shields, and other items, so they suffered no immediate damage.
The progress of the other two groups, however, was remarkably fast.
Wherever they cleared, another group of elite soldiers outside immediately ascended the city wall, using it as a dividing line to prevent any foreign race members from escaping.
"When the city walls are fully occupied, that’s when your attack will commence, right?" Zuo Mu had discerned the intentions of Ye Liuyun’s team.
"It seems so," Ye Liuyun replied. He believed this was how their plan was designed.
"You didn’t know beforehand?" Zuo Mu was once again astonished.
"We weren’t aware of their exact siege strategy!" Qin Peng chimed in.
"You truly place your trust in them... but a team like this is indeed worthy of your trust!"
Zuo Mu, after his initial surprise, understood that Ye Liuyun intended to nurture his team comprehensively
Zuo Mu knew their intentions, and so did the commander of the foreign race.
However, he couldn’t comprehend why such a small group intended to besiege him.
He remained patient, waiting for Ye Liuyun’s team to fully enter the city before launching a counter-attack.
He discreetly mobilized his forces, preparing several different groups to counter and annihilate Ye Liuyun’s team within the city.
Both sides were biding their time, waiting for the final eruption.
The foreign race commander had made a grave mistake. Had they been more vigilant, they would have noticed that the attacking forces weren’t giving their all; they were merely focusing on defense.
Only the two teams on the city wall were swiftly eliminating the defending soldiers, allowing their comrades from outside to enter.
Had the foreign race commander led the army out of the city together, Ye Liuyun’s team would have been forced into a relentless pursuit. Despite their interception efforts, they couldn’t possibly stop so many people.
The commander’s decision ultimately led the entire foreign race army to be encircled by Ye Liuyun’s team.
After the other two teams cleaned up the city wall and handed it over to the other teams to take over, they merged again and rushed into the city.
The defensive team in the front suddenly changed its way and began to attack fiercely. The two teams began to attack the foreign race army.
The door of the defensive team was also removed.
"Kill them all!"
The foreign race commander immediately ordered three of his teams to break away and attack, targeting the rear and the sides of the city walls.
The main forces of the foreign race were still fighting against Ye Liuyun’s devil cultivator army.
Seeing the devil cultivators removing their defenses, the foreign race soldiers assumed it was an opportunity and launched a full-scale assault.
It triggered the most intense fighting within the city.
However, as soon as the battle started, the foreign race commander noticed a problem.
His two Sacred Majesty realm experts were swiftly eliminated.
The fact that these Sacred Majesty realm experts were annihilated within moments of the battle commencing highlighted the strength of their opponents.
Although these two experts were killed in a joint effort by the life-saving devil cultivator and his allies.
The timing of the attack and the coordination among the attackers were flawless.
Even the Sacred Majesty realm experts were swiftly eliminated, indicating that the lower-ranked foreign race soldiers stood no chance.
With every strike, groups of foreign race soldiers fell.
In contrast, Ye Liuyun’s devil cultivator army was rapidly advancing. Although the foreign race army had a considerable number of Corpse Demons, they crumbled before the devil cultivators’ onslaught.
The foreign race commander furrowed his brows tightly.
When he used his Divine Sense to observe the other routes, he found the same situation.
Not only were the devil cultivators formidable, but the teams with feral beasts on the city walls were also unstoppable.
The two teams specifically targeted against them were being maneuvered by human martial practitioners riding feral beasts, disrupting their formation entirely. They were simply no match.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun had only deployed a few thousand troops, with most of them monitoring the foreign race’s movements on the city walls.
While the foreign race commander was distracted, Ye Liuyun’s army of devil cultivators had already approached dangerously close.
"That’s fast!"
He directed the Corpse Demons to resist while beginning to retreat.
"Oh no, we’re surrounded!"
At this moment, he finally realized the prowess of this enemy force. Despite their small numbers, they were undoubtedly elite soldiers.
But a vanguard team of devil cultivators had already rushed before him. Helpless, he had no choice but to fight back.
His intention was to momentarily hold the enemy and then report back immediately. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
However, as soon as he made a move, he suddenly realized his predicament was similar to the two Sacred Majesty realm experts who had been annihilated earlier.
The frontal assault was deceptive, designed primarily to draw his attention and genuine energy.
Meanwhile, the real threats were coming from the sides, and this was just the first wave of attacks.
He reluctantly mobilized his genuine energy again to block the attacks from the sides, only to be immediately threatened by two spears lunging towards him.
The timing of this attack was just right, leaving him with insufficient genuine energy even when he tried to mobilize it again.
This time, he couldn’t resist at all and was struck by two spears. Luckily, the wounds were not too deep.
Before he could catch his breath, the frontal assault came again.
A flash of blade light struck directly at him. He had no time to dodge and could only defend himself once more.
But at this moment, his heart sank because two more spears were thrusting towards him.
He knew he couldn’t hold on any longer!
"Puff! Puff!"
The two spears pierced through his chest, impaling his heart.
It was only now that he managed to mobilize his genuine energy.
"Death awaits no matter what. I will take two with me!" freёweɓnovel.com
In a split second, he directed his genuine energy towards the two devil cultivators who were thrusting their spears at him.
