Chapter 520: Surprise attack! Cai’er’s crisis (I)

His grandfather’s remark lifted Long Haochen’s mood momentarily. He didn’t try to conceal his current feelings and nodded strongly in response.

Long Tiangying gave a light sigh, “You youngsters really had a hard time. If not for the demons, your grandpa would be in favor of your wedding. Treat her well, old Sheng Yue really doesn’t have a good temper.”

In terms of seniority in their own Temple, Sheng Yue actually rated higher than Long Tianying. But in terms of cultivation, Long Tianying was definitely stronger in addition to possessing a Divine Throne.

Long Haochen nodded repeatedly, “Grandpa, can I depart right now?!”

Long Tianying unhappily replied, “You cannot. Wanting to see your wife is one thing, but don’t you want to keep your grandfather company a bit longer? Until you depart tomorrow, just stay with me.”

At this reply, Long Haochen’s surging feelings calmed down gradually, “Grandpa, I...”

Long Tianying waved his hands to him, “I understand. At your own age, who knows how much more rebellious than you I was. You are already doing very well, but keep in mind that I really care about your safety. You are my one and only grandson. You have to take good care of yourself; not only for the Alliance but also for me. If the Alliance loses you, it will be the loss of a great talent, but if I lose you, it will be the loss of my precious kin. Do you understand?”

Long Haochen remained silent, and slowly approached him, giving Long Tianying a very big hug.

Long Tianying had a smile on his face. After so many years, it was the first time he showed such a sincere smile. He finally realized now that he really had a grandson of his own.

Precisely as Long Tianying expected it, after the sun rose, the demons didn’t launch an attack. But the demon camp was greatly busy, transferring the heavily wounded troops from the Demon Emperor Legions while helping the dying and healing the injured.

But of course, those three forbidden spells weren’t totally devoid of benefits for them. At least, the non-carbonized corpses were treated as food, and their armies were served a good meal, with the Demon Emperor Legions as the special ingredient…

Because of Saminaga’s serious injuries, he immediately entered seclusion inside his demon god pillar, and the authority over the demon armies returned to Valefor.

But at this time, Valefor didn’t dare keep applying pressure to the Fiends, and the reason why he didn’t immediately give the order to attack was because they had obtained a sufficient amount of food, and more importantly because of the current state of weakness of the Fiends.

Saminaga transferred all the deep strength of all his clansmen to launch a terrible strike and put them in an extremely weak state. And in fact, the air force of the demon armies was almost exclusively formed of Fiends. Under such circumstances, how could they launch the attack against the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass?

Through this battle against Long Tianying and Long Haochen, Valefor fully recognized the powerful assets the humans had, and therefore didn’t dare act rashly. At least, they needed a time of rest and reorganization.

One day later, at sunset, two figures came out soundlessly from the Dragon Resisting Mountain, making sure of their direction. Then, they headed southward under the raging wind and snow.

Neither Saminaga nor Valefor knew about it, but the Saint Knight Head from the Knight Temple who brought them countless ‘surprises’ was already gone. At this time, the Dragon Resisting Mountain had Long Tianying as the only Divine Knight present to take watch.

Of course, the Knight Temple’s real trump card was not Long Haochen! Since Long Tianying dared keep the current troop arrangement against the demon armies, he naturally had ability of his own.

Exiting the Knight Temple, Long Haochen and Han Yu were in high spirits since they were finally able to reunite with the others. Long Haochen understood that although on the surface, his grandfather was assigning him a mission, in actual fact, given that Long Tianying didn’t even check his current amount of contribution points, Tianying had no way to know in the end whether he would really obtain a million contribution points at each defensive fort.

Therefore, after departing from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, it could be said they just have to reunite with all their comrades.

Everyone was separated for a year and a half already, and his longing for reuniting with them already surpassed everything else by far. Moreover, the first one they were proceeding to was the Exorcist Mountain Pass occupied by the Assassin Temple, the place where Cai’er was!

Long Haochen obviously realized that he had difficulty calming himself down. The strong excitement even caused the spiritual energy in him to fluctuate irregularly, influencing to some extent his absorption of the external spiritual energy.

Even so, he was unable to control his emotions.

Cai’er, are you still well? It has been a year and a half, have your memories recovered already? Can you now remember me? Thinking to this point, Long Haochen was really wishing to grow some wings to rapidly fly to her location.

They left the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, and although they were heading to the southern Exorcist Mountain Pass, they had to head to the southwest if they wanted to go through the Temple Alliance’s territory. After all, the demon armies were glaring at their frontiers like tigers eyeing their prey, and they didn’t want to encounter troubles. By going through the territory of the Temple Alliance, with the Exorcist Mountain Pass serving as the natural barrier, they could put their whole energy to hurrying their trip, and proceed quickly to the Exorcist Mountain Pass.

Given Star King’s strength, it was absolutely no issue for him to carry two people, not to mention that Han Yu’s body was also of light attribute, his innate internal spiritual energy reaching eighty. Therefore, Star King’s affinity to him was second only to Long Haochen. With Long Haochen supplying him directly with spiritual energy, he was flying toward the Exorcist Mountain Pass at his fastest speed.

Exorcist Mountain Pass.

The Holy War had been going on for a year and a half, and the war was becoming increasingly bitter. Within the Six Great Temples, the one that had the hardest time with the demon offenses was the Southern Mountain Pass, but the second one was the Exorcist Mountain Pass.

Every human defensive fort was under the watch of one Temple, and when comparing the Assassin Temple and the Knight Temple, although a gap existed in their global strengths, this gap was actually not very wide. Yet the Exorcist Mountain Pass had a tough time, and that was because of their own specialities.

Although the knights couldn’t use their mounts in situations of defense, they were after all heavy armored warriors or heavy infantry, and were like a metallic barrier protecting the city.

But the assassins are not capable of that. In terms of offensive potential, assassins surpass knights by far. But in defensive power, they are also much inferior. They were specialized in concealment, assassinations, and taking a head in the midst of countless enemies. However, continuous attacks and defenses are not their strong points, especially in such defensive battles.

For this reason, the Assassin Temple encountered catastrophic losses in this war. If not for the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment standing on guard inside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, it would have perhaps been already broken a few times through. The Knight Temple gave a considerable assistance to the Assassin Temple, but the Holy War was taking place on six fronts simultaneously. Therefore, each Temple had to ensure its own defense before it could afford to help the other ones.

Amongst the seventy-two demon gods, the top three demon gods and their clans had yet to appear in the Holy War, and the fourth and sixth were assigned to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. With the Knight Temple having to endure such a massive pressure, it lacked the strength to help the Assassin Temple.

Since a year and a half ago, the casualties amongst the Assassin Temple’s high class warriors already reached one third. Under Sheng Yue’s lead, almost everyone was injured. Some of the powerhouses belonging to the older generation of the Assassin Temple were also thrown on the battlefield one after another, to fight the enemies to the death. Almost every time they repelled a demon assault, the Assassin Temple had to expend a massive cost.

At the current time, the head of the Assassin Temple, Sheng Yue, was standing on guard in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, which is a natural stronghold as well. It had no need to envy to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass: its position inside the mountain range it stood in meant there was no need to fear a demon encirclement. It was sufficient to block the demon armies coming from one direction , but compared to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, its natural defenses were a bit lacking. It did not have the same kind of vile environmental conditions, and was not so highly elevated either.

The walls of the Exorcist Mountain’s fortress had already disappeared, the war having mostly destroyed them. The mages that were still unleashing magic were fewer than fifty, and they were the last bits of magic force the Exorcist Mountain Pass had left. Almost all the powerhouses from the Assassin Temple were standing in front of the enemies, defending the fortress. They had even forgotten for how long they had been defending this position. But by chance, just like the Exorcist Mountain Pass had sustained severe damage, the same went for the attacking demons. In recent months, their frequency of attack was not as high as before.

Cai’er was currently near the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ fortress, clad in black, and without external armor. Her eyes were ice-cold, and after a year and a half had passed, she had already become a grown woman. Her build was more slender, well proportioned, and one could see on her almost any asset a female body could have.

Compared to the time she separated with Long Haochen and the others, the current Cai’er was much colder. Although it was by far incomparable to the time before her loss of memories, at least the battle before her eyes was now insufficient to instill feelings of terror in her.

Sheng Lingxin and Sheng Yue were on the other side, their complexion visibly very pale. Thick bandages could be seen wrapped around their right arms: in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, they didn’t have even one priestso they could only rely on doctors to treat the injured. One could well imagine the criticality of the situation.

“Great-grandfather, shall I go?” Cao’er suddenly turned back to ask Sheng Yue.

The demons were already attacking the fortress, and both sides were immersed in desperate close quarters battles. It could be seen from this that the current Exorcist Mountain Pass’ defensive battle was at its critical point, otherwise how would they have let the enemies come close to the fortress?

The main forces of demons attacking the Exorcist Mountain Pass was formed of Demonic Birds, Dual-Headed Demonic Vultures, Blazing Demons, Demonic Wolves, as well as a huge volume of Dual Bladed Demons and Demonic Eye Soldiers.

Against such a formation, although they had way fewer powerhouses allocated when compared to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, they won in the numbers. And just for these reasons, they had plenty of corpses to serve as food.
