The Simple Life of Killing Demons

Book 12: Chapter 63

Volume 12 Chapter 63 : The Siege (2)

"I see it, the city!" Bull-head, who was walking in the lead, stood a kilometer away from Delza, whilst looking up at the towering city wall.

"I wonder if therere any obedient and cute children here." The female of the demon clan licked her fingers, revealing a look of expectation.

"Tsk." Bull-head demons, Pine, glanced at the female demon clan member, then noticed the low demons approaching from the South: "The useless low demons are here."

The low demon who took the lead obviously heard what the bull-head demon clans words, but it could not react aggressively. After all, there was a huge difference in strength between the low demons and the demon clan. The low demons had already experienced it in the war at South.

The demonic soldiers that were originally in the low demons team all returned to their own demon clans team.

"Don't get in the way here, go to Shadowar. There are still many spirits there." A shadowman said.

"Understood." The low demons nodded and left.

"Hey, some of you go over too. Go support Shadowar and the others to have our swift victory." The shadowman asked some demonic soldiers to follow the low demons to support Shadowar.

"How useless. Five nobles cant even handle these little spirits. Let's start first, the main show is about to begin." With a wave of Pines big hand, the demonic insects immediately rushed towards Delza.

"The enemy is starting to attack! Prepare for defense!" The commander of the soldiers shouted, and the city wall was full of archers.

"Don't attack right away, wait for the enemy to trigger the traps."

The demonic insects were densely packed on the ground, like a tide. Several archers' hands were trembling, and their breathing became hasty.

"Swish~" When the demonic insects running ahead was almost close to the city wall, a shining magic circle appeared on the ground.

"Boom!" Various elements erupted from the magic circles, blasting the demonic insects into the air. The scene was very spectacular. In the dark night, the explosion illuminated the appearance of the demonic insects, which made the soldiers feel disgusted.

No matter what, those bugs must never be allowed in.

That was their current thought.

"Fire!" The commander gave an order, and the archers drew their bows and released their arrows!

Arrows rained down, piercing the carapaces of the demonic insects. Some of the demonic insects became like hedgehogs, with more than a dozen arrows sticking out of their bodies.

However, the number of demonic insects was terrifying. They continued to crawl forward without fear of death. Of course, they chomped on the corpses of their kind to strengthen their bodies.

The rain of arrows only lasted for a few minutes before it came to a stop. Bows and arrows were depleted. Since the demonic insects kept eating the corpses of their kind, the arrows could no longer penetrate their carapaces.

"Magic artillery, stand-by!"

The archers retreated, while the soldiers, who were proficient in magic, stepped forward and released magic at the demonic insects under the city wall that were attempting to climb up.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The demonic insects kept falling, but there was still an endless stream of them crawling forward. The scene at the moment was like a group of ants struggling to climb up a sugar jar.

Although there were magic attacks from the magic artillery to slow their pace, it could be seen that the height the demonic insects climbed kept increasing.

"Damn it! We can't let them come up!" The commanders heart was torn with anxiety, "Spirits of the same element, stand together, and use the powerful combined technique!"

Red, yellow, green as gorgeous as a rainbow, a burst of elemental attacks erupted from the city wall.

  In an instant, almost all the climbing demonic insects were knocked back to the ground. If the demonic insects fell on their backs and failed to turn over in time, they would be gnawed by their kind. Due to the gnawing, the city wall was temporarily clear and clean.

"Mom" Jane-Era hugged her mother Furla tightly, her whole body kept trembling.

"It's alright, it's alright, we'll get through this crisis." Fulla gently stroked Jane-Era's head, but the fear in her eyes was far from the reassurance she spoke.

Having devoured their companions, the demonic insects continued to crawl up the walls. In tens of thousands of demonic insects, only 10% of their kind died. Meanwhile, the spirit soldiers who released their combined technique have all entered a state of extreme magic depletion at that point. It was impossible for them to sustain further magical attacks for much longer.

"The arrows are replenished!" The archers replaced the magic artillery. Their bow and arrows were now attached with magic, which could pierce the carapace of the demonic insects.

This bought them some more time, but it was only a matter of time before the arrows were depleted. What would they do when the arrows ran out?

Several minutes later, the archers ran out of all their arrows. With no more dead demonic insects obstructing them, the demonic insects went all the way up. In just a few seconds, dozens of them had reached the top.

The archers abandoned their bows and arrows, drew their spare daggers at their waists, and started attacking the demonic insects. Fortunately, they had learned from the wounded that the bodily fluids of those insects were corrosive, otherwise they would definitely be sprayed by the liquid due to recklessness.

The demonic insects climbed up continuously, while soldiers who were good at close combat also came to help. There was a scuffle on the city wall, and a few dead demonic insects fell down from the city wall from time to time, which made the spirits below frightened.

"Hurry up, bring the wounded inside their homes. It's too dangerous here." Several spirits spontaneously lifted the wounded and went to their homes, prompting many others follow suit.

However, due to the overwhelming number of worms, the pathways on the walls were already filled with demonic insects. Some demonic insects jumped down from the city wall and began attacking the commoner spirits.

"No! Ah!!!!" The first one was a lionman, who was helping a wounded spirit leaning against the corner, when suddenly a few demonic insects landed behind him, and their sharp claws cut off his arm in one fell swoop.

Witnessing that, the spirits panicked.

Faner was also frightened by the scene in front of her, because she was not far from the lionman. She was supporting the wounded soldier whose thigh was pierced by Bloom Water at the moment.

The demon insects quickly devoured the lionman and the wounded spirit, their claws and mouths covered in shreds of flesh and blood. They turned their heads and looked at Fan'er.

The wounded soldier pushed Fan'er away, and fell to the ground, "Little girl! Run! I'm a soldier after all, I can deal with them." As he spoke, the wounded soldier used magic. With a fire ball, he hit one of the demonic insects.

However, it did not do much, and irritated it instead.

"This is bad. This fellow has strengthened itself." The wounded soldier showed a self-deprecating smile, as the enraged demonic insect rushed towards him.

"No!" Faner suddenly stood in front of the wounded soldier. At that moment, her brain seemed to process everything rapidly. The gem-like eyes reflected nothing but the bloodied claws of the worm.

Am I going to die? Am I going to meet Mom and Dad?

"Splurt!"

"Damn it! Get out of my way!" Hawke and the others originally wanted to retreat back to help Delza, but they unexpectedly encountered more low demons blocking their path to the city.

"Great landslide!!!!" Hawke let out a deafening cry, and a huge landslide swept across the low demons in front of him.

"Ugh" Hawke stabbed his sword into the ground, supporting his slightly exhausted body.

"General! Are you alright?!" The military strategist supported Hawke.

"Im fine" Hawke raised his head and looked at the remaining low demons, which were still blocking their path. His eyes were burning with blazing flames, but his body restrained him from unleashing that flame.

The soldiers found themselves in a bitter struggle due to the reinforcements of more low demons later.

"Even though the Dragon God and the two little dragons held back the strongest opponents for us, we still can't go back. Damn it!" a soldier said indignantly.

"Alas, could it be true that our Delza will be completely invaded?"

"Don't say such things! As long as were alive, we must drive out the invaders!"

Although the soldiers had a fierce fight, they were still gradually killed by the low demons and the demonic soldiers.

Out of thousands of soldiers, there were only slightly over eight hundred remained at that moment. Yet, there were more than two thousand low demons and demonic soldiers left.

"We cant hold on anymore! Damn it, we really have no strength now!" The soldier who had just finished speaking was pierced through the chest by a demonic soldiers spear from behind.

"Lyle!"

Pfft Heh heh, I'll take my leave first." With his companions watching in agony, the soldier used his remaining magic, ignited his own body, and caused a self-detonation.

The explosion engulfed several demonic soldiers and low demons.

"Great! I'll join you too!" Another soldier, driven mad by the loss of his best friend, charged at the demon horde and then there was another explosion.

"Everyone, remember what I've always said?" Hawke stood up again.

"Never stop fighting, never surrender!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

"That's right! Come on, let's fight to our hearts content! Even if it means death, it's better than being those surviving traitors!"

"Fight to our hearts content!"

At that moment, the remaining soldiers were completely surrounded.

"Adam, let's see who kills the most in the end."

"Itll definitely be me, do you even need to ask?"

The soldiers prepared themselves for death, and now, it was a competition to see who could kill the most before they died.

"Zap!" A bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, which exploded within the low demon team.

"Is this?!"

A massive tornado appeared without warning, originating from an unknown location and sweeping up a large number of low demons and demonic soldiers.

"That must be Lord Wind Fury!" a soldier shouted.

"That lightning just now! It's City Lord Reggie! Only he and his daughter, Miss Reidy, can summon thunderbolt out of thin air!"

As expected by the soldiers, a group of people appeared before their eyes.

"City Lord! You've finally returned!" The soldiers who had just embraced their imminent demise suddenly regained hope upon seeing Reggie and the others.

"Sorry, we came back late." Leading the way were Reggie, Remi, Wind Fury, and Paulie Water, who was carrying Gentle Water on his back. Behind them were more than a thousand guards, clad in armor stained with black and red blood.

"Damn traitors, luring those monsters in, I will never let them go! Charge!" Reggie gave the command, and the guards of Thunder Castle charged forward, taking the lead in attacking the low demons.

"How dare you act before me, Reggie, youve got some nerve." After Wind Fury spoke, the guards of Wind Castle refused to be left behind.

The tide of battle shifted once again.
