Chapter 743: Victory in the First Battle

Woo-WOO-WOO—
A strange howl slowly echoed, reverberating across this stretch of sea. Upon hearing this sound, the attacking demons halted, unhesitatingly retreating.
In just a few minutes, the demons below the city walls receded like the tide. Leaving behind thousands of corpses, they quickly moved out of range of cannons and arrow towers, merging with the demon army arranged in the distance, collectively retreating towards the further reaches of the sea.
The remaining demons, fighting fiercely in the sky and sea, also hastily withdrew, fearing they would become the next hunted targets.
The legendary-tier demon hero, who had engaged in intense combat with Herald both in the sea and in the sky, felt a sense of relief upon hearing the retreat signal. Hastily casting a wide-reaching spell to repel Herald’s advance, he then retreated somewhat awkwardly back to his own lines.
Seeing this, Herald also chose not to continue the pursuit. He slowly descended and landed on the city wall.
Seeing the demons repelled once again, the soldiers on the city walls cheered, even the reinforcements from the elves couldn’t help but show a smile.
One by one, the heroes returned to the city, recounting how many enemies they had slain.
“I killed five demon heroes, four rare-tier, and one legacy-tier,” said Patheia, looking somewhat weary but with bright eyes, clearly satisfied with her achievements.
“I took down six demon heroes, but two of them were elite-tier, three rare- tier, and only one legacy-tier,” Anina said, shaking her head with a playful sway, her face tinged with some regret.
“As I got closer, those demon heroes would see me and run, some even flew away. I couldn’t catch up with them on my two legs.”
Elisya raised her hand holding a strong bow like a child, excitedly saying, “I shot down two legacy-tier, seven rare-tier, and eight elite-tier. I even killed some demon overseers!”
After fully unleashing her archery talents, Elisya could shoot wherever she wanted with her bow and arrows. The demon heroes she targeted were all fatally struck.
Even the frontline commanding demon overseers dared not show themselves, each one marked by her, preventing the demon offensive from making significant progress.
“Well, you all are truly valiant and unmatched. I have fewer accomplishments than you, only killing one legacy-tier and two rare-tier enemies. However, I led the Ocean Blood Dragon Legion to inflict heavy casualties on many ordinary demons,” said Benbo cheerfully, without a hint of regret.
The others didn’t belittle or look down on him. Benbo, a legendary-tier figure, led the Ocean Blood Dragon Legion, melting thousands of advanced demon troops with dragon breath. In terms of demon kills, he far exceeded them.
Seeing his colleagues finish, Herald also solemnly said, “I slayed three legacytier, nine rare-tier, and several elite-tier demons. There was also one legendary-tier demon who managed to escape.”
The heroes looked up to him with reverence. In terms of killing enemy heroes, Herald’s achievements were undoubtedly unparalleled, making Anina somewhat envious. Flying was indeed advantageous, unlike her, who could only run on two legs.
Alice, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
“Don’t you all feel that these demon heroes seem a bit off?”
“Is there anything strange about them?”
“They don’t seem as formidable as we imagined. Instead… they seem somewhat weak.”
With these words spoken, Patheia glanced at the others, hesitating, “Do you all feel the same? I thought it was just me feeling wrong, but these demon heroes give me the impression of beings who possess tier and power but lack the knowledge of how to use them, resulting in very crude usage.
And their combat experience seems to be lacking as well. Whenever I change my moves slightly, they become flustered.”
The heroes nodded unanimously. Honestly, a few days ago, they hadn’t directly faced the enemy in battle, and watching the fierce demon attacks, they felt considerable pressure.
But today, when they clashed with the demon heroes, they quickly felt at ease.
They could easily suppress demon heroes of the same tier and even fend off attacks from multiple enemies with ease.
“There is indeed such a feeling…”
Alice pondered, “We’d better report this to the Lord…”
“I’ve already heard,” replied a voice as Alice and the others turned to face the figure approaching them.
“Lord Ji Chen.”
Ji Chen nodded slightly.
“Regarding what you just mentioned, I have noticed it too. The performance of the demon heroes is indeed unexpected.”
Elisya raised her hand. “Could this be a ploy by that demon commander named Yasen, trying to make us underestimate them?”
Ji Chen frowned. “The possibility is very low. Even the most foolish commander would find it difficult to make such a move as a ploy, considering the deaths of dozens of demon heroes, not just one or two.”
He believed that even if the demons were ambitious and powerful, they wouldn’t just give away so many hero units for nothing.
So the question arose, what exactly was going on? Could it be that the enemy commander had lost his mind?
Ten minutes earlier.
Through the battlefield shadow magic, watching the scenes of demon heroes falling one by one on the light screen, Yasen’s expression was no longer as relaxed and carefree as it was two days ago. Shadows filled the eyes that symbolized the noble lineage of the demon.
“Damn it, how is this possible?”
