Chapter 1494 – The First Battle (6)
Rather than saying the demons were fighting for Shen Yanxiao, it would be better to say that they were fighting for
their own survival.
The four countries’ joint attack on the Barren Land indicated that the demons would be deprived of their last living
space on the Radiance Continent.
If Shen Yanxiao won, the demons would be able to keep living; if Shen Yanxiao were defeated, then the demons on
the Radiance Continent would also face destruction!
Yao Ji could not retreat. She must take the Del City’s defense to the extreme. The seventy or so artillery must reduce
the quantity of the opposite side’s siege weapons by the same number. Otherwise, she would not be able to face the
trust of her own kind and Shen Yanxiao.
Yao Ji looked at the surprised Du Lang, with a hint of wry smile at the bottom of her eyes.
“You actually didn’t have to come.”
Del City was the city that Yao Ji was in charge of. Du Lang’s task should be to defend The Rising Sun City, but he
had followed her instead.
“I just want to say, if we can still live after this war, Yao Ji, are you willing to marry me?” Du Lang had a smile on
his face as he looked at Yao Ji. His unshakeable mercenary blood revealed his heart at this moment.
Yao Ji was slight startled, after which she smiled and replied, “If you are not afraid of being laughed at by your own
kind, I will marry you.”
Du Lang did not say anything as he just held Yao Ji’s hand.
The defense of Del City was destroyed without any mercy. The attacking force of the siege weapons was truly
shocking. However, even though the fort was already destroyed, none of the demons in charge of firing artillery fled
halfway. They insisted to stay in the fort until the end. They continued to hold their duties, to fill in the shells, and to
launch attacks until the last second, penetrated by countless magics and arrows!
Although they were the lowest kind of demons, they also had a certain instinct.
Besides the orders of the higher demons, they seemed to know that if they retreat at this moment, then their own
kind would be slaughtered in the future!
Therefore, they couldn’t retreat; they didn’t dare to retreat!
In the blink of an eye, only less than half of the more than seventy forts on the walls of Del City were left, and a
huge gap was brutally blasted on the wall.
Under the cover of the siege weapons, the troops of the four countries swarmed toward the gap in Del City walls
like flood.
The earth trembled and the mountains swayed. The sound of people’s roars and horses’ hooves were playing over
Yao Ji’s heart.
“All demons, carry out the final attack. Five minutes later, get into the tunnel.” Yao Ji shut her eyes. The wall had
been broken; they could no longer continue to attack the enemy. Once the four countries flocked into the city, they
would not even have the opportunity to retreat.
The demons carried out their final attack as ordered, and before the forces of the four-nation alliance entered the Del
City, they reluctantly withdrew from the battle fort and snuck into the underground city under the leadership of Yao
Ji.
Before they left, Yao Ji lit up a fire, burned all the artillery and shells, and even set Del City itself on fire. She
watched the familiar city be engulfed by flames due to actions by her own hands, making Yao Ji’s heart extremely
heavy.
However, she would rather ruin all of this, and definitely could not leave a trace for the four-nation alliance!
“I will definitely come back.” Yao Ji looked at the destroyed forts, where her men had died without a burial place.
She didn’t even have time to collect their corpses.
“We will surely win this war. At that time, I will come back with you.” Du Lang pulled Yao Ji and finally walked
into the underground city.
After they entered the underground city, Yao Ji resolutely pressed down a mechanism and in an instant, the
connection between the underground city and the Del City was blocked by a huge rock and scalding molten iron
was poured around it, after which the passage was completely sealed!
