Chapter 1240: Capture the Stronghold!
Chapter 1240: Chapter 1240: Capture the Stronghold!
The moon was dark, and the wind was high.
Although the Immortal Emperor and the master had taken this into account when designing the battlefield,
there was a vast plain between the high mountains and the city walls, intended to ensure that the enemy would be spotted as soon as they stepped onto the plain, to prevent a surprise attack.
However, if the Nefarious Demon Region intentionally hid its tracks and aura, it would also significantly reduce the preparation time of The Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm for the battle, which would definitely have an impact.
Fortunately, Ye Qiubai and others noticed this scene in time.
Before setting out, the Immortal Emperor had given Ye Qiubai and the others a voice transmission jade pendant to report any situation at any time.
Now, it seemed to have served its purpose in advance.
The moment the message was sent out,
defensive preparations began to take place on top of the city walls, and the Immortal Emperor sent people to set up traps on the plains outside the city walls.
When the sky began to show the first light of dawn, the army lurking in the high mountains of the Nefarious Demon Region also began to advance at an accelerated pace, launching their third attack on The Mortal Realm!
And the moment the entire army of the Nefarious Demon Region set foot on the plain, Ye Qiubai and the others made a beeline for the back of the high mountains!
Upon reaching the mountain top, they could already hear the roaring and the booming explosions coming from the plain!
It was clear that the battle had begun.
Meanwhile, on the side of the Nefarious Demon Region’s forces, the elders were also shocked by the scene before them.
Before they moved, they had sent people to scout the plain and found no traps! And the city walls had already been prepared for the battle.
Whether it was the setting of traps or the preparations on the city walls, everything seemed as if the enemy had known in advance that they were planning a nocturnal ambush!
Could it be that the enemy’s scouts had discovered them?
Or was there a spy inside, leaking information beforehand?
However, whatever the case, there was no longer time for them to think; they had no choice but to brace themselves for battle.
The Evil Lord and the demon god had issued a death order this time.
This third attack could not be fruitless; otherwise, it would be a fatal blow to the face of the Nefarious Demon Region.
Despite the significant power disparity, which made them so much stronger than their enemy, why was the battle still so difficult, so closely contested?
Therefore, in this third assault, the forces of the Nefarious Demon Region were even fiercer, determined to breach the city walls!
The fierce charge of the Nefarious Demon Region’s army also caused The Mortal Realm to retreat step by step.
And in the moment the two armies clashed,
Ye Qiubai and his companions had already crossed the high mountain, and before them lay a series of strongholds at the foot of the mountain.
There, a large number of the Nefarious Demon Region’s army was still stationed.
Unless the considerably weaker side is compelled to use all their forces for concentrated defense,
they would not dispatch all their manpower at once.
However, the highest realm among them was the half-step Divine God Realm, and there were also more than a hundred members of the purgatorial imperial guards stationed here, but as they were Divine Emperor Realm powerhouses, they could not act due to the deterrence of Grandpa Medicine, so they were not included either.
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “It seems that we’ve really pushed the Nefarious Demon Region into a corner this time, sending out so many people.”
“That’s normal,” Hong Ying nodded in agreement. “After all, the failure of the previous two attempts is intolerable for the dominant Nefarious Demon Region.”
Blackie was already a bit excited on the side, his eyes filled with battle intent, since he was inherently belligerent and the two wars had been exhilarating for him.
“So what should we do? Rush in directly?”
“Don’t rush,” Ye Qiubai shook his head, “Let’s wait for the junior brother to figure out where the enemy’s supplies are stored; then stick Junior Brother Mu’s talismans in those supply areas.”
“After we’ve blown up all these supplies, we’ll be able to make our move without restraint, and that will also contain the Nefarious Demon Region’s frontline army.”
Armed with Lu Changsheng’s specially made magic treasure that concealed one’s presence, and coupled with Little Stone’s spatial ability, achieving all this quietly wasn’t difficult at all.
After hearing this, Little Stone also took hundreds of talismans from Mu Fusheng and then slipped into the space.
An incense stick to burn later.
Little Stone’s figure reappeared in front of Ye Qiubai and the others.
He smiled, gave a thumbs up, and said, “Mission accomplished.”
Ye Qiubai smiled and nodded, then turned to Mu Fusheng, “Junior Brother Mu, the next step is up to you.”
Mu Fusheng let out an internal sigh, thinking to himself: “Master, you have to see clearly, ahh, this was the big brother’s bad idea, I alone can’t oppose all the brothers and sisters!”
With this thought and facing the eyes of his fellow disciples, Mu Fusheng gritted his teeth and directly activated the hundreds of talismans!
In an instant.
In each of the tents, the element of thunder began to rage violently!
The stationed army was startled.
The Divine Emperor warriors of the purgatory imperial guards were even more filled with dread!
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
Loud shouts filled the ranks of the army.
Those Divine Emperor warriors immediately dispersed, each moving to the locations where the power of the talismans was acting out.
Their faces were filled with both fear and disbelief.
Although defenses had been set up in the encampment, The Mortal Realm was so weak now that merely holding back the approaching army was already very difficult, and each defense came at great cost!
So how could there still be enough strength left to sneak attack their stronghold?
And more importantly, with hundreds of Martial Monarch Realm warriors in the purgatory imperial guards stationed here, how did the enemy manage to sneak under their noses, infiltrate their camp, and set up so many talismans?
That was unknown, and the worried Divine Emperor warriors had no time to ponder it further.
They immediately intended to suppress the exploding power of the Thunder Light from the talismans.
If the talismans were to explode, it would mean an 80% loss of their logistical resources! For the army of the Nefarious Demon Region, this was not only a massive setback, but also a heavy slap in the face!
However…
The talismans operated too quickly, and as these Divine Emperor warriors made their move to suppress them, brilliant flashes of Thunder Light erupted!
Suddenly, thunderous explosions burst forth throughout the entire encampment!
Even some of the troops stationed near the stronghold were affected, with many severely injured or killed outright!
Witnessing their supplies turned to ash and the charred remains lying on the cracked earth, the Divine Emperor warriors of the purgatory imperial guards were fuming with rage!
“Who dares to commit such acts! Show yourself and accept your death!”
The roar, like a sonic wave, created ripples through the air before shattering!
The figures of Ye Qiubai and the others appeared at the foot of the mountain, chuckling softly, “Do you wish to make a move? Could it be that you have forgotten Grandpa Medicine’s ban? If any of you Divine Emperor warriors dare to act, we will extinguish the Nefarious Demon Region.”
Looking at the figures of Ye Qiubai and the others.
The people of the purgatory imperial guards all widened their eyes, surrounded by swirling killing intent, barely restraining themselves from attacking, but indeed, as Ye Qiubai had said… once they acted, the mysterious elder on the other side would also make a move.
