Chapter 419: The End of the Road

Fengdu City.

In the blood mist that filled the sky, rows and rows of soldiers formed a huge square formation. Affected by the demon tide, the demon soldiers did not need sleep at all, and their eyes were filled with a permeating red. The entire square was covered with blood. , everywhere was filled with beastly growls and gasps.

At the center of the scarlet demon tide, on the top floor of the original Demon Slaying Division branch, Yuli Wuzheng and a group of abyss lords gathered together to listen to reports from their subordinates.

"We have completed three charges, and more than half of the cannon fodder troops have been consumed. The three resistances of the human race have all turned on defensive formations, and they are all at the highest power."

"According to the way they are doing it, even if all the crystal nuclei in the entire human race are transported to Dawn City, it is absolutely impossible to last until sunset on the fifth day."

"I suggest splitting the remaining cannon fodder troops into small groups, attacking Dawn City around the clock, and keeping the magic circle open for as long as possible."

"Perhaps it won't take more than five days. On the fourth day we can send out the main force to complete the destruction of the city."

Balanta stretched out his sharp claws, pointed at the sand table in the center of the conference room, and said in a hoarse voice.

Yuriu's fingers unconsciously tapped the back of the chair, making a soft "dong dong dong" sound, and he did not speak for a long time.

Balanta lowered his head and looked at each other, neither of them clear what Yuriu meant.

Do you agree or disagree? Would you like to give me a nice word?

"Auroville...is not important." Yuriu finally spoke, his voice extremely cold.

Balanta hesitated for a moment and said a little uneasily, "Boss, I don't quite understand what you mean..."

"There is only one person who can decide the final outcome..." Yuriu stood up slowly, walked to the sand table, and looked down at Dawn City at his feet.

"Frontline troops, have you found the ghost snake?"

Balanta shook his head and said in a panic, "Most of the frontline troops are composed of cannon fodder troops. There is no way to cross the city wall and enter the interior."

"Without the big demon, all the venerable demon slayers from the Demon Slayer Division are on standby in the city. Cannon fodder with the ability to fly cannot pass through the venerable blockade."

"The specific location of the ghost snake cannot yet be determined."

Yuriu turned around, approached Balanta step by step, and said word by word, "Then find a way to find him for me."

Balanta shrank his neck in fear, restrained his desire to retreat, and nodded hastily, "I understand."

Yuriu stretched out his right hand and touched his chest. A dark red heart was beating slowly, and every sound was strong and powerful.

His appearance has lost the half-human, half-snake characteristics, and he almost doesn't look like a demon anymore.

"My Lord, I'm already a little impatient..." Yuriu's tone was so cold that he didn't sound like a living creature, more like an emotionless puppet.

Balanta, Schaffer, and Avila lowered their heads and looked at each other, and they all saw awe and fear in each other's eyes.

Yuri Wu was clearly standing in front of the three demons at this moment, but they could barely feel each other's presence.

The natural suppression of superior beings makes them even breathe carefully.

Yuriu calmly stared at the red dot symbolizing the ghost snake in the center of the sand table, and said mechanically, "There is no need to consider the battle losses. It doesn't matter if we lose a few more big monsters."

"The human race has reached the end of its rope."

"As long as the ghost snake is gone..."

"It's all over."

...

Auroville.

Class 197 had just completed the defense change and once again set foot on the tower of the western section of the city wall.

"Where are Qiu Qingfeng and Wang Zhiyong?" Guan Shan looked around the tower and found that two of the comrades who came to rotate with them earlier were missing.

"Zhiyong jumped out of the tower holding a bone-burning demon that got in. It was already buried in the mountain of corpses."

"Half of Qingfeng's head was cut off by the monster's claws. He was already gone on the way to the medical class..."

A veteran finished speaking calmly and left the tower without looking back.

He was like a puppet that had lost its soul, stumbling and disappearing from Guan Shan's sight.

Not every group of defensive warriors has Guan Shan's combat prowess comparable to that of the Venerable.

When Class 197 faced the demon tide, they could boldly push back and create a vacuum on the battlefield.

Others are not so lucky. All they can do is fight with their lives. Even if all members die in battle, they will never give up their defense.

This is the normal state of war.

Everyone in Class 197 fell silent, looking at the bloodstains inside the tower that had not completely solidified, and silently loading ammunition for the crossbows.

"Old Li, do you think we can win in the end?" Yang Chao looked at the dark red demonic cloud outside the shooting port with empty eyes, and asked with some anxiety.

"Don't ever think about it."

"If you don't even believe that you can win, it is very dangerous on the battlefield."

Li Yunxuan patted Yang Chao on the shoulder and encouraged, "Don't think too much, we will definitely win."

Yang Chao nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to escape, Yang Chao summoned his puppet to help him load ammunition.

In order to have an extra point of firepower, he had replaced the falcon with a humanoid puppet.

Thanks to the increase in power reserves after breaking through the fourth level, he can already control four puppets at the same time.

In the two days of fighting, apart from Guanshan, Yang Chao killed the most monsters.

Li Yunxuan could sense that his students were feeling a little strange. Just as he was thinking about whether to encourage them, the artillery fire on the city wall rang out again.

"Fuck, these beasts, they come eight hundred times a day!" Li Yunxuan cursed and took the lead in coming to the shooting port and raising the crossbow.

The fourth wave of the monster charge was completely different from the previous ones.

The soldiers advanced much faster, and their purpose was very clear.

After the first three attempts, the monsters also figured out the firepower of the human race.

Those low-level monsters did not make any offensive attempts at all, and just lay down at the foot of the city. Regardless of life or death, they regarded themselves as human steps.

The speed of the accumulation of corpses was much faster than any previous charge.

It had only been half an hour since the battle, and it had already piled up to the waist of the city wall.

"At this rate, we'll reach the tower in half an hour." Li Yunxuan said while shooting at the flying monsters in the sky, taking a quick glance at the city wall below.

"Old Li, something is wrong." Guan Shan always paid attention to the height of the corpse mountain and keenly discovered the changes.

"There are quite a lot of senior soldiers from the monster tribe this time. Before, there was basically one senior soldier with a dozen cannon fodder. This time, the number of senior soldiers and cannon fodder is almost the same."

"And even the giant monsters are lying there as human steps. I saw at least a dozen giant monsters buried alive in the corpse mountain."

Li Yunxuan did not lower his head, but continued to shoot into the air. He said quickly, "I know it's wrong, but our mission is to guard the tower, don't be distracted on the battlefield, and do what we should do."

In the sky full of artillery fire, the corpses of the monster tribe piled up quickly, and in less than half an hour, they had already reached the top of the city wall.
