On the north wall, the battle had entered a white-hot stage.
The appearance of Gu Xiyu, Jiang Chaosheng, and Tuoba Jun, three Rank-8 martial artists, temporarily regained some of their advantage.
In particular, they had mobilized more than ten Purple Lightning Cannons, which posed a great threat to the demon masters.
Of course, even with the addition of the three people, the demons continued to advance despite the disparity in strength between the two sides.
In the Qingzhou camp, Gu Xiyu, Tuoba Jun, and Jiang Chaosheng were already exhausted.
On the battlefield, the three of them were the only ones who managed to hold back the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race with the help of the Purple Lightning Cannon.
However, the three of them had limited strength. The long battle had exhausted their strength.
If this dragged on, the three of them would probably die of exhaustion even if they weren't killed by the demons.
"Commander Jiang, what should we do now?”
Gu Xiyu and Gu Xiyu looked at Jiang Chaosheng.
Nominally, the three of them had the same status, but as the commander of the Guard Battalion, Jiang Chaosheng controlled an army of tens of thousands of warriors.
In terms of power and strength, he was far stronger than Gu Xiyu and Tuoba Jun.
"Since the demons are attacking the city, we can't stop them anymore. We can only give up on this area.”
"In the past, Qingzhou City was the main battlefield between warriors and demons. There was a history of the city being occupied by demons.”
"After the yaomo were defeated, in order to prevent the city from being breached again, the alliance spent a lot of manpower and resources to divide the city into four parts and build protective shields.”
"Now, I can only give up on the northern part of the city.”
Hearing Jiang Chaosheng's words, Gu Xiyu said hesitantly,""But if we all retreat, the demon will definitely chase after us. I'm afraid we won't be able to activate the protective barrier in time. In that case, we have to leave a portion of people to stop the demon and stall for time until the protective barrier is successfully activated.”
Hearing Gu Xiyu's words, Jiang Chaosheng sighed.
"Sacrificing oneself for the greater good, I believe that even the martial artists who died at the hands of demons would not blame us.”
Jiang Chaosheng didn't plan to tell the truth to the warriors, but chose to quietly retreat with the main force.
Gu Xiyu and Tuoba Jun looked at each other. Although there was some helplessness in their eyes, they could only nod.
"We'll do as you say, Commander Jiang. Abandon the northern region and activate the protective shields of the other three regions. I suggest that the three of us each take charge of a region and support each other. We should be able to stop the demons from attacking. At the same time, we should ask the headquarters for help. With the nine alliance leaders here, we can relax our vigilance in other places.”
Hearing Gu Xiyu's words, Tuoba Jun nodded.""I support Secretary Gu's opinion."
"Alright, let's do that."
The three of them quickly made a decision.
…
At this moment, the members of the Demon Slayer Division, Guard Battalion, and Demon Suppression Division, who were fighting against the demons, suddenly realized that their teammates behind them had decreased by a lot.
Not long after, three huge protective shields rose up in the sky above Qingzhou City and formed a line, while the northern district was separated.
For a moment, those martial artists who stayed behind to resist knew that they had become abandoned.
Immediately, they no longer had the will to resist. They gave up fighting and turned to flee.
The yaomo began to hunt down the fleeing martial artists.
The residents of the northern city regions were completely exposed to the claws of the demons.
The entire north became a living hell, and countless humans were sucked dry.
………
Five hours later, in a magnificent building in the northern part of the city.
This used to be the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Bureau, but now it had become a gathering place for demons.
"The northern region is now under our control. Next, we need to discuss how to conquer the other three regions.”
Hai Shan sat on the main seat, his eyes reflecting a cold light.
A few hundred years ago, when he was still a little fiendish demon, he had followed the army of the Monster Race and Demon Race to invade Qingzhou.
It was also at that time that the senior he respected was pursued and almost died.
Back then, he was just a little demon who could not control his own fate. Now, he had become the leader of an army of tens of thousands of demons.
"Hai Shan, you promised us that you would conquer the city of Qingzhou. We will divide the millions of people in the city.”
"Now that the northern region has been conquered, you should fulfill a part of your promise, right?”
"I heard that your yaomo have captured more than 200,000 humans and locked them in the dungeon.”
A man shrouded in red fog spoke sinisterly.
Among the Demon Masters present, which one of them didn't address Hai Shan as Demon Master Hai Shan when they saw him? However, he addressed him directly by his name.
This was because his seniority was much higher than Hai Shan's.
Hai Shan could only be considered a junior of the Flaming Demon Master, who had become a grade-9 demon several hundred years ago.
"Of course. I won't take a single one of these 200,000 humans. I'll give them all to you, including the population gained from conquering the other three regions.”
Hai Shan said.
"You can rest assured about my promise.”
"Our next priority is to discuss how to break through the other three defense zones.”
"The defensive barriers of the three areas are extremely sturdy, and they have the assistance of the Purple Lightning Cannons.”
"If we attack forcefully, even if we can break through, we will definitely suffer heavy losses.”
"Therefore, this matter requires Senior Chi Yan to personally take action.”
"Me?"
The Flaming Demon Master looked at Hai Shan.
"How do I attack?"
"As far as I know, Senior Chi Yan had thirteen subordinates. After their demon bodies were destroyed, they turned into souls and lived in the bodies of ordinary people. They hid in Qingzhou City. After so many years, their souls must have been repaired and they were waiting for an opportunity.”
"As long as Senior Chi Yan gives the order to turn them into demons, we will cooperate from the inside and the outside. Soon, the entire Qingzhou City will fall into our hands.”
Hearing Hai Shan's words, the others looked at the Flaming Demon Lord in confusion, trying to determine if Hai Shan was telling the truth.
The Flaming Demon Master's expression changed drastically as he stared at Hai Shan with fear.
"How did you know about such a secret?”
Hai Shan only smiled and said nothing.
The Flaming Demon Master knew that he would not get the answer he wanted from Hai Shan.
He snorted coldly." My Demon Generals are all my trusted subordinates. If they reveal their identity as demons, they will be in great danger."”
"Senior Chi Yan, of course, we can't let you take the risk for nothing. As long as your men work together to open the protective shield and help us break through the three areas, you can get an additional 10% of the population.”
The eyes of the Flaming Demon Master lit up.
Qingzhou City had a total population of three million. If he took ten percent more, he would get three hundred thousand.
"Is that true?"
"Of course!"
Hai Shan nodded.
The other Demon Masters also expressed their agreement.
"Good! It's a deal."
