Chapter 511: Chapter 511: The Elephant Demon Clan, Willing to Fight! (First Update)
The giant eagle ascended, flying towards the distance.
City Lord Rabbit and Shen Langjun, among others, quietly watched.
Only to hear Xiao Bai murmur, “I wonder if Benefactor will come back to pick me up!”
Shen Langjun: “…”
Just at this moment, on the plaza in front of the City Lord’s Mansion, a person staggered to their feet and began to wildly shout at the sky.
“Eagle Seven, I’m here! How could you simply cast me aside and not care!”
Regrettably, the giant eagles had already flown far away, no Eagle Demon heard his cries, and even if they did, they would not return to pick him up.
Shen Langjun squinted his eyes as he watched the highly agitated Wu Jianyan shout and yell, speaking faintly, “City Lord, how should we deal with this fellow?”
City Lord Rabbit indifferently responded, “I haven’t seen him before, you all deal with him yourselves!”
Saying this, he then turned to head back to the residence.
This was an expression of tacit consent.
Shen Langjun stepped down from the platform, slowly walking towards the plaza.
Following behind him were many rabbit demons with unfriendly expressions and a crowd eager for entertainment.
Wu Jianyan, in despair, watched the distant Eagle Demons, his tone shifting from initial pleading to cursing vehemently, and finally broke down into wailing.
As he cried, he noticed that his surroundings had become very quiet, so he looked up.
People were standing all around him.
And each one of them was looking at him with unfriendly expressions.
Leading them was his old love rival, Shen Langjun.
Wu Jianyan’s whole body stiffened, and a sycophantic smile slowly appeared on his face.
“Shen… Brother Shen.”
Shen Langjun coldly looked at him, and before he could finish speaking, simply pointed and commanded, “Beat the hell out of him!”
Several rabbit demons rushed forward at once.
Though the rabbit demons ranked near the bottom in combat strength within the Demon Realm, handling a normal human was well within their abilities.
They had Wu Jianyan screaming miserably in just a few hits.
At the same time, the crowd that gathered for the spectacle couldn’t stay out of it and swarmed in.
“Kill that bastard!”
“Give me some space, at least let me kick him too!”
Shen Langjun didn’t even lift a finger.
The throng of people completely engulfed Wu Jianyan.
In the beginning, Wu Jianyan’s screams could be heard, but after a moment, they were no more.
When the crowd dispersed,
Wu Jianyan was completely flattened, having long since succumbed and died.
This was the front line located in the heart of Zhongshan Province.
Until the day before, this had been the Demon Race’s paradise.
But today, aside from the scorched earth, there was not a trace of life to be found.
Lady White Bone stood on the temporarily erected city wall, gazing far into the distance.
As far as the eye could see, desolation and abandonment.
At this moment, more than half of Zhongshan Province had become a wasteland, thoroughly trampled under the iron hooves of demons and monsters.
And Lady White Bone was well aware that if the demons and monsters attacked again, the already teetering alliance forces would certainly not withstand, and would likely suffer another defeat.
By then, Zhongshan Province would also fall.
The entire Demon Realm would be left with only the weakened Yellow Sand Prefecture and Chuanping Prefecture.
Chuanping Prefecture, as the name implies, was a plain without any natural defenses.
At that moment, how were these weary allied forces going to face the formidable demon onslaught?
The Bone Lady was deeply concerned.
“My lady, the Snake Demon Clan just sent a message saying they no longer have the strength to fight!”
“What about the others?” the Bone Lady asked indifferently.
“The Stone Demons are on the brink of extinction, and others like the Tree Demons and Flower Spirits are also nearly at their limit. As for the Tiger Wolf Demons and the like, they had already suffered heavy losses yesterday!” The messenger spoke with a face full of sorrow.
The Bone Lady was silent for a long while, then nodded, “I see, you may go.”
“My lady, we should fall back to Chuanping! If the Demon Race’s army attacks again today, we will certainly be defeated!” a member of the Demon Race whispered.
The Bone Lady glanced at the speaker, a senior member of the Fox Demon Clan. However, his appearance now was pitiable, with a huge claw mark on his face that had turned his originally handsome visage into something fierce and terrifying.
The Bone Lady knew that among all the clans in the Demon Realm, the Fox Demon Clan and the Siren Clan had suffered the heaviest casualties.
That was because the Demon Race had first appeared in Dongbin Prefecture.
And the Fox Demon Clan and Siren Clan were the two most powerful tribes in Dongbin Prefecture.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It could be said that these two clans had joined forces to block the initial attacks of the Demon Race.
But as a result, when Dongbin Prefecture fell,
the royal families of the Siren Clan and Fox Demon Clan had almost entirely failed to escape; they were all captured by the Demon Race.
This Fox Demon elder was fortunate to have escaped.
Towards such a meritorious individual, the Bone Lady maintained a respectful attitude.
“Elder Fox, do you think I don’t wish to retreat? But our defensive line in Chuanping Prefecture hasn’t been established yet. If we retreat now, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
“Moreover…” the Bone Lady paused, “the clans of the Demon Realm and the Human Clan behind us haven’t finished retreating. If we withdraw now, they will be exposed to the iron hoofs of the demons. The calamity that will befall them…”
The Bone Lady didn’t finish her sentence because she believed this Fox Elder surely understood what she meant.
After all… in Dongbin Prefecture, hadn’t the young demons of the Fox Clan been unexpectedly devastated by the Demon Race’s army?
The elder Fox’s expression became even more somber, and after a while, he said, “If that is the case, then I shall stay and hold the fort, while you, my lady, take the elite forces and escort the rest of the demons to retreat!”
“That’s not an option. The day I took this position, I swore to share fate with everyone. I will not leave!” said the Bone Lady firmly.
“But…” the Fox elder wanted to insist.
“There are no buts! I understand your intentions, Elder Fox. You want to sacrifice yourself to preserve our fighting force. But what’s the point? If we retreat from here today, and the Demon Race’s army attacks tomorrow, are we to retreat from Chuanping as well?” the Bone Lady said softly.
The Fox Elder bowed his head silently, and after a moment, he sighed, “If only we had some reinforcements right now!”
The Bone Lady fell silent too.
She had sent many to search for any of the Demon Race’s clans that still had the strength to fight, but the hope seemed bleak.
Because the demons of Chuanping Prefecture were mostly plants and trees that had become spirits. These kinds of demons were good at support but lacked significant combat power.
And Yellow Sand Prefecture was even less promising; it was inhabited by minor demons such as Rabbit Demons.
Just then, the Bone Lady felt a chill on her forehead and was startled.
Looking up, she saw vast clouds rushing from the distance, quickly covering the entire sky.
In the distant horizon, the tall silhouettes of the Demon Race could be faintly seen.
“Enemy attack!” The piercing cry shook the entire camp.
But this time, all members of the Demon Race wore a look of confusion.
They had fought for too long, were all wounded, and had almost no strength left to fight!
With the Demon Race attacking again, they saw no hope of victory.
The Bone Lady slowly drew her Bone Sword, her expression grim.
She was ready to join the battle herself.
And then, a burly man, who stood over three meters tall even in human form, slowly approached the city wall, gave a slight bow to the Bone Lady, and said with a weary but determined tone,
“My lady, the Elephant Demon Clan, is willing to fight!”
