Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 925

A dozen or so mid-level demons led their armies, staring intently at the massive war golem.

“It’s practically like an abyssal beast!” a mid-level demon exclaimed.

In the abyss, besides the normal demons, some strange magical beasts are also bred.

Many abyssal monsters are known for their large size and immense strength.

"Use remote coordinated attacks."

In an instant, under the command of the mid-level demon, the demons launched an attack on the war golem simultaneously.

Rumble…

Explosions erupted from the war golem, and scorch marks appeared on its incredibly hard metal body.

Although the war puppets were powerful, they clearly could not ignore the demons' attacks.

The demons treated it like a pack hunting down a massive monster, constantly eroding the puppet's power.

Under the leadership of the mid-level demon, the numerous demons were no longer a disorganized mob, but could now be considered an army.

"We can't let the demons win so easily."

The professionals who were attacking alongside the war golems naturally noticed the demons' actions.

The professionals did not panic; they continued in an orderly manner. Some launched ranged attacks to block the demons' attacks on the war golems, while others charged directly into the demon army to disrupt their offensive.

Some professionals enchant war golems to increase their attack power and defense, while others even create and repair damage to them in real time, creating a kind of infantry-tank coordination system.

Although it is a world of gods and demons, many of the most basic concepts are the same.

Besides war puppets, many professionals also chose to leave the fortress and actively go out to fight the enemy.

Relying solely on fortifications for defense will eventually lead to their breach; we must take the initiative and launch an attack.

Professionals from the Upper City, with their more systematic training and superior equipment, undoubtedly have a significant advantage when facing demons of the same level.

Often, a professional can deal with two or three demons of the same level at the same time.

Unfortunately, the demons never engage in one-on-one battles with you, or even battles against opponents of the same level.

If we only consider the number of professionals, the Upper District, which has accumulated a considerable number over time, also has a large number, so the difference in numbers between the two is not that exaggerated.

However, due to the difficulty of advancing in the profession, the vast majority of them are at the Iron level, equivalent to Lesser Demons, while the number of Bronze and Silver levels has decreased sharply.

However, the demon army that invaded the main world this time can be considered elite in some respects, and the number of lower-ranking and mid-ranking demons is overwhelming.

After all, the demons' advancement is not that complicated. Apart from the True God level, the number of demons at each strength level is extremely large.

If necessary, this demonic invasion could even equip an army of mid-level demons, something professionals wouldn't even dare to dream of.

The once bustling upper city has now been completely reduced to ruins, like a meat grinder slaughtering the lives of demons and professionals.

The upper city still had some resistance, but the lower city was in a much worse state.

The newly built city lacks a deep foundation and doesn't even have a single Gold-level being.

Although there are some treasures that can threaten gold-level items, they are only capable of threatening them.

In this state, under the attack of the demon army led by the high-ranking demon, they became precarious and could only hold on by the united will of all the professionals in the entire War King City.

As for the five ancestors and the War King near the abyss rift, they tried every possible method. Although they killed many demons, they still could not break the cage and could only anxiously think of new strategies.

Chapter 827 Slaughter on the Front Lines

"That little bat just died like that."

Huo Yi looked at the message transmitted from the Horned Demon with surprise, telling it to be careful in the lower city and not fall into the enemy's trap.

In this situation, the loss of a high-ranking demon was already a major blow to the bull-horned demon; if another one were lost, the invasion would most likely fail.

"As expected of the main world, the only great world that can rival the Abyss," Huo Yi exclaimed, completely unconcerned about the death of the Bat Demon.

Although they were colleagues, they were merely subordinates of the same lord, and their relationship was generally unremarkable.

However, the death of the Bat Demon made Huo Yixin vigilant again.

Although they knew that this invasion of the main world would likely result in heavy losses for these demons.

However, having already trapped a large number of gold-level experts, the loss of a high-ranking demon in just one encounter was indeed unexpected by the demons.

"Is there a power in this city that can kill me?" Huo Yi looked at the distant War King City.

Under the siege of the demon army, even the sturdy city walls showed many signs of damage.

"grown ups!"

Just then, another group of demons returned and reported to Huo Yi.

Seeing his subordinates return with gifts, Huo Yi's face lit up with a smile again, and strands of hot saliva couldn't help but flow from his mouth.

……

At this moment, in the city of War King, the Wolf King, the Snake King, and others were all wounded and looked at the demon army outside with exhausted expressions.

After a period of fighting, they killed quite a few demons, but the number of demons outside the city and their offensive showed no signs of decreasing or weakening.

Not only that, the number of demons has even increased, which has suddenly increased the pressure on the entire War King City.

As for where these demons came from, they were naturally the demons who had cleared out other areas of the lower city.

As the first district to face the demon invasion, there wasn't enough time to move everyone back to War King City; there are still many people outside the city.

This situation also exists in the upper city area, so many demons are scattered in these places, capturing those scattered lives one by one.

"Wolf King, can you still hold on?" the Snake King asked wearily, his former seductive charm long gone.

"Naturally!"

The wolf king gritted his teeth and said that although his physical injuries had healed, the mental and spiritual exhaustion remained and could not be dispelled.

"Then I'll leave the outside to you for now. I'm going to rest for a bit," the Snake King said quickly, not giving the Wolf King any time to react, and went back to rest in a flash.

In a normal battle, the Snake King, Wolf King, and their ilk could fight for days and nights without any problem.

However, the Wolf King and his companions' enemy is none other than the infamous high-ranking demon.

Because there are no Gold-level experts, every time a high-ranking demon makes a move, the Wolf King and the other two kings have to personally keep watch.

After all, in the entire War King City, only the three of them were able to directly confront the higher-ranking demons and escape unscathed.

If it were any other Silver-rank demon, they wouldn't even be able to escape from a high-ranking demon.

In order to keep an eye on the higher-ranking demons, the Wolf King and his companions, who were a level weaker, naturally had to put in their utmost effort, putting immense strain on their mental and physical energy.

But not doing anything is not an option, as a high-ranking demon is lurking in the shadows, putting immense pressure on the entire War King City.

Even if it can only cause some interference to higher-ranking demons, it still has extraordinary significance in defending the city.

Therefore, every time a high-ranking demon made a move, the Wolf King and his companions would try to interfere, only to return with injuries.

"Gold level!"

The wolf king was extremely unwilling to accept this, and he tried to break through, but he never succeeded.

Although his strength far surpasses that of the Silver level, he still seems far from the Gold level, and there is still no hope of breaking through.

"Your Majesty, look!"

Just then, the guards on the city wall suddenly shouted in a trembling voice, startling the wolf king who was resting with his eyes closed.

Then Wolf King looked closely outside and was equally startled.

A group of demons led a group of imprisoned humans into the army. These were humans from the lower city and a small number of other races.

Several of them, including some who had met the Wolf King, were imprisoned.

"What are they planning to do?" A bad feeling rose in the wolf king's heart.

What else can a demon do?

"help me!"

"Help……"

As a professional, I could clearly hear the shouts from the crowd.

Unfortunately, the massive demon army and the looming high-ranking demons made the Wolf King and his companions abandon their plan, gritting their teeth as they stared at the demons ahead.

Given the current situation, there's absolutely no way to save them; I wouldn't even risk my own life.

Of course, as a professional, while it's not exactly heartless, it's not like they would give up their own life to save someone they don't know well.

More than anything, people were angry at the actions of the demons, seeing their own kind imprisoned by those of different kinds.

On the other side, Huo Yi didn't think that these prisoners could open the city gates. He arranged this scene to show the people in the city and to dampen their spirit of resistance.

"Let's begin!" Huo Yi said lazily.

The demons, who could no longer contain themselves, rushed toward the prisoner who had been pushed to the center of the army and began to tear him apart.

"Do not…"

"don't want……"

Cries of terror rang out, but they had all been captured alive and had been treated, rendering them powerless to resist.

Faced with the demons' tearing and biting, the imprisoned prisoners were completely powerless to resist. They could only watch helplessly as their bodies were dismembered and devoured bit by bit, and eventually died in despair.

Besides the prisoners, the people in War King City could only watch helplessly.

Death is no big deal. As a professional, how could I not have taken a few lives?

Putting aside other issues, warriors in the arena often face this situation after being defeated by demons.

The key point is that this scene could very well happen to me, and that would be a completely different story.

If something doesn't happen to you, you can be indifferent. However, if you can foresee it happening to you, you can truly empathize with it.

"Damn demon!"

On the city wall, a group of professionals watched the tragic scene unfolding among the demons with bloodshot eyes, wishing they could rush out and wreak havoc.

Some professionals were terrified and even wanted to stay away from the city walls, clearly quite frightened.
