Chapter 162: The Devil King Arrives (I)

"How many types and numbers of demons are there participating in the siege?" Sheng Lingxin, who was rushing towards the city gate, didn't know the content of Ye Qingcang's communication with Sheng Yue and San Shui. He looked at the soldiers passing by and stopped them vigorously, saying, "What is your mission?"

"Master Commander?" The armored soldier was stunned for a second, then he was overjoyed and saluted, "My mission is to find you. This is the mission assigned to me by the captain, and also the mission assigned to the captain by my superiors... There are currently 17 known types of demons participating in the siege, with a number of more than 200,000. Due to limited observation capabilities, it is still unknown whether there are other demons behind these demons that have been observed."

"Seventeen kinds?" Sheng Lingxin's pupils shrank.

"Two hundred thousand?" Lan Yanyu, who had been absent-minded, was also shocked.

In addition to being frightened, I was also filled with anger.

I subconsciously glanced around.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that Ye Qingcang was not there.

Then, he felt ashamed of his fear.

The anger grew until it overflowed: "Lingxin, these things happened so coincidentally. I think that boy must be a spy of the demon clan!"

"Before the battle, you must not talk nonsense and shake the morale of the army. Otherwise, even if you are the leader of the Mage Corps, you will be punished!" Sheng Lingxin frowned and scolded mercilessly. He walked towards the city gate without stopping. "Besides, my grandfather and the Lord of Sanshui Palace are in charge over there. It's not our turn to worry about it!"

Lan Yanyu's face turned cold after hearing what she said.

However, considering that Sheng Lingxin was right, he did not argue loudly.

Follow the Holy Spirit.

In just two or three minutes, they arrived at the command post on the top of Exorcist Pass and met the commanders of the various legions who were in chaos.

"Captain, you are finally here."

"Meet the Chief."

"Chief, here is the intelligence we have collected."

"General, here are the current losses."

As soon as Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyu arrived, the impetuous atmosphere in the tent was quickly expelled. Sheng Lingxin took over the shocking intelligence summaries one by one. Even though he just flipped through them, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.

Lan Yanyu also noticed Sheng Lingxin's strange expression.

He frowned, leaned forward, and took a look at the intelligence summary.

Just this one glance made Lan Yanyu's mentality almost explode: "Seventeen demon legions, including the Moon Demon Clan, Star Demon Clan, Dead Demon Clan, Hell Demon Clan, Bear Demon Clan, Lightning Demon Clan, Succubus Clan, and Sound Demon Clan, are heading towards the Exorcism Pass. Among the top ten demon gods, six have come. From the top to the bottom, they can be identified as: the second pillar Moon Demon Agares, the third pillar Star Demon Vashak, the fourth pillar Dead Demon Samikina, the fifth pillar Hell Demon Malbashi, the sixth pillar Bear Demon Valif, and the tenth pillar Lightning Demon Pal; in addition, there are thirteen other demon gods of varying sequences in the army. It is suspected that the Demon God Emperor will personally lead the expedition..."

"Report!"

"Report!"

"Urgent news from Zhennan Pass!"

The scout in gray rushed into the tent, took out the bloodstained letter from his arms, and held it up with both hands: "The 45th Hidden Demon God Baien left the outside of Zhennan Pass. Judging from his direction, he is suspected to be heading to Exorcist Pass. I hope Exorcist Pass will strengthen its vigilance. The demons are suspected to be making a big move."

"Are you the scout of Zhennan Pass?" Sheng Lingxin walked up to the scout with great strides, looked at the scout's shoulder badge, opened the letter, read it at a glance, and asked as he read, "What's the situation outside? Apart from the demon god, where are the demon tribe's soldiers and horses?"

“The demon army has not moved, but the hidden demon god Byrne has joined forces with many demon gods outside the Exorcist Pass…” Even Sheng Lingxin, the highest military chief of the Exorcist Pass, was confused. The scout who had galloped thousands of miles was even more confused. He smiled bitterly and said, “I’m the captain of the 13th Battalion of the Zhennan Pass Scout Corps. I’m a sixth-level assassin. I led fifty fifth-level assassins to escort this news. I never thought that I would be surrounded by the demon army. Fortunately, I met the brothers from the Southeast Fortress… By the way, here is a letter from the Southeast Fortress. Those brothers from the Southeast Fortress stayed behind to cover us. Now, we don’t know whether they are dead or alive.” Looking at the letter from the Southeast Fortress that was handed over by the Zhennan Pass scout, Sheng Lingxin’s face was uglier than ever, and so was the pressure.

The demon god of Zhennan Pass went to their Exorcist Pass.

I guess there must be some demons from the Southeast Fortress coming to Exorcist Pass.

The demon clan's system is quite clear.

Without orders from above, these demons would never dare to leave their posts.

The only being who can command the Star Demon and the Moon Demon is the Demon King.

"We are going to catch them all in one fell swoop!" Sheng Lingxin held two blood-stained letters in his hands, looked at the map, and muttered to himself. After only two or three seconds of hesitation, he made a decision: "I will ask the masters of the major holy temples..."

The upper limit of the Exorcism Level is just enough to deal with a demon ranked in the top ten.

Now, except for the Demon King, the top five demons have all arrived at the scene.

We can't defend it with just the power of the Assassin's Temple.

At this moment, he was even glad that the elite selection competition for the younger generation was held in Exorcism Pass, otherwise, Yang Haohan and others would never be in the city.

However, before Sheng Lingxin could finish, Yang Haohan and others arrived one after another. Sheng Yue, Sanshui, Sheng Caier, Ye Qingcang, and Chen Yinger also arrived. They gathered again in the headquarters, and Yang Haohan spoke up and took over the topic: "It is foreseeable that the Demon King will lead the army in person. The pressure of exorcism is very high... Lingxin, you don't have to blame yourself too much. The problem now is not to find out the responsibility or the reason, but how to win this battle. How strong are we?"

"The title-level demon hunting group is nearby."

"Six ninth-level warriors are ready to rush to the Exorcist Pass at any time."

"The master of my Magic Temple, Li Zhengzhi, has been held back by the eighth pillar of the Force, Barbatos, and is temporarily unable to support the Exorcism Pass, but the deputy master, Lao Yu, can. He is a ninth-level second-level space magic god."

Lin Chen, the deputy master of the Magic Temple, knows everything about it.

“Long Xingyu is being held by the Seventh Demon God Ananda, so he can’t rush to help the Exorcist Pass, but Long Tianyin can.” Yang Haohan threw out a trump card, then turned around and said, “Palace Master Lin, let Palace Master Yu from your Magic Temple go and take over Long Tianyin… In the next battle, have him try to save his mana. If the Demon God Emperor descends, go to the Knight Temple and invite my brother Yang Haoyu. He is currently a Level 5 Punishment Holy Knight of the Ninth Order.”

That's all the words said.

Everyone understood the seriousness of the situation.

Although the human race can indeed mobilize some ninth-level strongmen to participate in the war, they cannot let the other fortresses fall for the sake of an Exorcist Pass. If that happens, there will be no point in defending the Exorcist Pass.

"What's going on?" Qiu Yonghao, the leader of the Warrior Temple, who had just woken up and heard the alarm bells ringing at the Exorcist Pass, hurried to the top of the city wall. Looking at the people with surprised faces, he rubbed his neck in confusion and asked, "I'm asking you a question...what are you looking at me for?"

"Nothing." Yang Haohan raised his hand, signaling the others to shut up, and said briefly: "The demons are attacking the city, we are here to discuss."

Qiu Yonghao nodded to show that he understood.

Immediately, he looked at the layout on the sand table.

His eyes widened immediately, and his confused look suddenly became clear, and his voice rose an octave: "Moon Demon Clan, Star Demon Clan, Dead Demon Clan, Hell Demon Clan... How many demons are here? Don't tell me these demon gods are here too!"

"We are missing a Demon King..." Yang Haohan sighed, wanting to say something, but suddenly he felt an energy point like the sun appear in his perception. His pupils shrank, and he put up a shield in time under the sudden huge pressure. At the same time, he couldn't help but groan, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth: "This old man's mouth is more clever than a crow's mouth..."
