140 First Battle After Arrival

20th February, 07:45.

Two hundred soldiers guarded North River Pass’s towering inner-city walls. These soldiers were on sentry duty for two hours before a new batch of soldiers would take over their duties. This guaranteed that every soldier would be extremely alert while on sentry duty. There were 20,000 mortal soldiers at North River Pass, so sentry duty was simple. Of course, when demons launched a large-scale attack, the mortal soldiers would be forced into cruel and bloody battles. The death rate of mortal conscripts was extremely high. Many soldiers that survived were crippled—evidence of how tragic the war between humans and demons was.

Soldiers stared at the World Entrance, not daring to be careless. There was a military judge watching by the side! Any slacking off would result in severe punishment.

Huh?

Thirty-five terrifying figures suddenly appeared at the World Entrance. This stable World Entrance only allowed 35 third Firmament demon monarchs to enter at the same time!

“Brother-in-law!” Yang Xingwu also carried many short spears and rushed towards the city wall.

…

Shi Xiu—who had been sleeping in Gentle Hamlet—suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the drum. He rushed out of the building, his robes and boots on the bed disappearing. The woman wearing a red dudou on the bed was still in a daze. Although she was dazed, she became wide awake when she heard the beating drums—even when she was a renowned courtesan at a brothel.

The demons are attacking North River Pass? She got out of bed, put on her robe, walked to the balcony, and looked in the direction of the inner-city walls.

The soldiers were quickly mobilized. Godfiends charged towards the city pass.

We have to win. We have to win. The renowned courtesan clasped her hands together and silently prayed.

…

It’s beginning. Countless people on the streets looked in the direction of the inner-city walls. The inner city would become a bloody battlefield. Godfiends and mortal soldiers would be strong blockades against the demons.

We must win. People prayed. Although they would encounter demon attacks two to three times a year, the ordinary residents of North River Pass would feel nervous every single time. They knew that if they failed to hold North River Pass, a major disaster would ensue.

“Let’s go.”

“Kill the demon monarchs.”

They jumped down from the walls immediately. Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue and nodded before jumping down with Zhang Yunhu, Shi Xiu, and company.

Only Liu Qiyue and Fan Cheng were left behind on the city walls. Two Godfiend archers rushed over to them.

“Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Fan.” The two Godfiend sharpshooters were humble. They were Archean Mountain disciples and Indestructible Godfiends! However, their arrows could threaten third Firmament demon monarchs.

“I will protect you well.” Fan Cheng held a large shield in one hand and a hammer in the other.

Boom!

The large shield landed on the city wall’s ground as Fan Cheng released his Quintessential Essence in all directions. He formed a thousand-foot-wide four-element domain of earth, fire, wind, and water around him.

Fan Cheng had a perfected high-grade Godfiend Body—the Four Symbols Divine Body. He was born with tremendous strength and had a robust Godfiend foundation. He was skilled with the shield and hammer. He could fend off ten ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs alone. With the Four Symbols domain, he was best at protecting others. He was responsible for protecting the Godfiend sharpshooters. Of course, Liu Qiyue was extremely powerful herself.

Ah Chuan, be careful. Liu Qiyue held her bow and looked down from the city wall, waiting in anticipation.
