The sound of gongs and bells rang out inside and outside the valley, summoning the remaining young and strong men in the tribe to take up weapons and gather on the gray and black battlements.

In the wilderness, groups of black and red vicious dogs were running around. They had protruding bone spurs on their backs and were completely black except for some red tiger stripes on their sides. They looked extremely ferocious.

These Undead Sequence 3 Bonethorn Black Dogs, while of modest strength, were the most numerous of the demons, often appearing in large groups. A single opponent could easily be surrounded, unable to manage their front and rear, and ultimately defeated by a pincer attack.

They ran quickly on the ground with their mouths open, spewing out bursts of black smoke from their mouths from time to time. The noise was huge, and the air was filled with barking sounds.

Seeing that these black vicious dogs were about to approach the temporary city wall, the Youchi tribe also mobilized their only archery team, drew their bows and arrows to prepare to block them.

The longbow made of fir wood was as tall as a person. After it was pulled, long arrows tied with sharp stones were placed on the bowstring. The wizards of the Youchi clan temporarily gave them soul-breaking magic, and then the arrows were thrown out, swarming into the dim sky like locusts.

In these dusk mountains, metal iron tools are scarce and the poor Youchi tribe cannot afford them at all. Only with the enchanted sharp stone arrows can they shoot with confidence without worrying about running out of supplies.

Whoosh——

The arrows cut through the air, making bursts of noise. After reaching the apex of the sky, they immediately fell down, then continued to accelerate under the influence of gravity and hit the wilderness outside the camp.

Click, click, click

Most of the arrows broke directly on the hard rocks, their tips bouncing off and sending out sparks, but some also landed on the black dogs, leaving streaks of blood as they pierced their bodies.

If an ordinary beast were struck by such an arrow, it would surely be pierced instantly and die from blood loss. However, these were extraordinary monsters of the Undead Order, with strong vitality. Even with several arrows lodged in their backs, they would not fall down and continued to run towards the low wall that was four or five meters high.

Awoo——

When they were only three or four meters away from the parapets, these black vicious dogs jumped up, climbed up through the cracks or protrusions in the rocks, and directly attacked the poor Youchi tribe.

The soldiers who had been on standby for a long time picked up spears and poked the leaping black dogs out from under the wall. Then some archers moved closer and shot, killing and injuring the dogs at the bottom of the wall.

Amidst the fierce battle, some vicious dogs broke through the encirclement and leaped into the camp, then began to run at high speed, their bloodthirsty eyes and noses searching for fresh prey. They ran so fast that many ordinary people could not catch up. At this time, some black-clad demon slayers had to come out to hunt down and kill these vicious dogs in the camp, and the scene gradually became chaotic.

"Oh no!" Just as the camp was gradually clearing out the escaped black dogs, a loud cry of surprise came from the wall.

Suddenly everyone's attention turned to the distance outside the wilderness again.

Several demons the size of black dots were slowly approaching from the edge of their field of vision, seemingly following the scent of blood. They were numerous, including numerous Sequence 3-4 Undead beasts and quite a few powerful Sequence 5-6 Undead beings. Their mere appearance caused panic and fear among the people.

As residents of the Sunset Mountains, no one understood the terrifying nature of these creatures better than they did. Normally, a single one of these demons could wipe out an entire village or town, but now they were appearing in droves, numbering dozens, even hundreds, and showing signs of intensifying. How could this not cause them to panic?

"Silence! Everyone stay at your posts. As long as we can hold on until today, help will arrive." A ghost-faced man in black holding a knife at his waist shouted loudly, and then the group of ghost-faced men in black behind him also came out to maintain order, constantly shouting and scolding at the people, forcing them to calm down.

Seeing that the people gradually calmed down, the man in black who was leading the group relaxed for a moment, but looked at the monsters in the distance with worry.

Although these monsters did not rush forward at this moment, they also began to approach this side. However, without anyone to command them, their actions were somewhat chaotic.

But even so, with such powerful force, such a demon is not something that the Chi clan can resist now. The only hope lies there.

With many thoughts racing through his mind, the demon slayer, with a military air, turned and looked toward the shrine at the end of the valley. Its architecture was elegant and majestic, revealing a sense of serenity in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After the fall of the Youchi Kingdom, although the royal family died out, some descendants of former ministers survived, preserving some records and stories of the past. He was a descendant of a Youchi general, and his family still had several military books and ancestral experiences, recording some matters related to training and fighting.

Only in this way could we be so decisive and clear-minded as before, and prevent the people nearby from collapsing and fleeing on the spot.

But as a descendant of a military family, he also knew that such a measure could only be used once and not twice. In the end, without strong support or major changes, defeat would come sooner or later.

"Alas... I hope everything is as Lord Gro said." He gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist, continued to walk to the other side of the parapet and began to patrol.

Dusk border.

Dark yellow flags fluttered in the wind, and below them stood neatly lined up soldiers, all fully armored and armed, ready for battle.

After two days of rapid mobilization, Tu Haoyang gathered 30,000 soldiers from Xiyouzhou. These Plantagenet warriors were almost all of the Lubing Path (War Sequence). According to the military's secret training, while most were only Sequence 1-2, there were also some elite Sequence 3-4. At Tu Haoyang's side, over 30 War Sequence 5 military officers gathered, ready to follow his command and lead the troops forward.
