He gazed at the boundless demon army, but unfortunately, unlike human armies, demons didn't have commander flags or anything like that, making it difficult to see who was in command.
"What's wrong, Azu?" The little demon queen noticed his frown and asked considerately.
Zuan raised her doubts, wondering if she might know more information since she had been fighting the demons for a longer time.
The Little Demon Queen shook her head: "It's strange, most demons have very low intelligence and are monsters that hunt by instinct. Yet their attacks are exceptionally methodical, and they are even more fearless than human armies. I don't know how they do it."
After listening to her description, Zuan said in a deep voice, "There must be something directing them, otherwise so many demons and different species would have killed each other out of instinct long ago, how could they be so united in attacking the city?"
"It's a pity that it's really hard to tell who's in command." The Little Demon Queen looked at the dark mass of demons in the distance. Normally, to command such a large army, there would be flag signals, drumbeats, or bells, in addition to language. But there was nothing on the demon side, not even a messenger.
At this moment, the demon army surged towards Monte City like a tidal wave. However, this time, because of Zaun's previous display of power, the soldiers on the city were in high spirits and broke through several waves of attacks.
The city walls, which had previously been corroded and collapsed, became a primary target for the demons.
However, with Zuan here to help, those demons were unable to break in.
At the same time, many earth, ice, and water elemental cultivators of the demon race joined forces and quickly rebuilt a new city wall.
The little demon queen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the city wall had been repaired.
Zuan, however, looked solemn as he watched the fearless demons charge relentlessly. Although his side managed to repel them each time, leaving behind a pile of corpses, the demons showed no signs of decreasing in number; their speed was simply too great.
Meanwhile, the demon soldiers in Monte City suffered heavy losses in one defense after another. If this continued for another two or three rounds, all the battle lines would probably collapse completely.
When the demon race and the human race fought, the demon race relied on its numerical advantage to make the human race suffer. Little did they expect that the tables would turn and that the number of these extraterrestrial demons would far exceed that of the demon race's warriors.
At this moment, Tiger Clan leader Hu Qianxiao came to the two of them and said in a low voice, "Little Demon Queen, Regent, this situation is about to break. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that we still have the fighting strength to find a way to break through?"
The little demon queen's expression changed. If anyone else had made such a suggestion, she probably would have been court-martialed long ago.
But Hu Qianxiao's status is extraordinary, and he has made great contributions to the Tiger Clan warriors in recent days.
"How could I not know we couldn't hold out? But now the city is surrounded by swarms of demons. How can we possibly break through?" the little demon queen said bitterly.
“Staying here means certain death, while breaking out offers a glimmer of hope. The most important thing is hope,” Hu Qianxiao said anxiously. He could see that the Little Demon Queen was worried that if she decided to abandon the city, the morale of the entire army would collapse, and then they would be unable to mount an effective resistance. “I, Hu, am willing to lead my troops as the vanguard and vow to carve out a bloody path for everyone.”
He was risking everything, being at the forefront, which inevitably led to heavy casualties.
But what he feared even more was that if he held out here indefinitely, his entire army would be wiped out.
The little demon queen hesitated for a moment, then looked to Zu'an for help.
Zuan patted her hand to comfort her: "Don't rush to retreat for now. Let's figure out a way to defeat these demons head-on."
Hu Qianxiao said with a wry smile, "These demons outnumber us by dozens of times, and each one of them is incredibly powerful. We've tried all sorts of methods before. If we could defeat them head-on, we wouldn't have had to flee here."
The demon race has no shortage of famous generals, which is why they were able to hold out until they got here even after falling into the trap.
They have been performing exceptionally well these days, employing all sorts of unpredictable schemes, but everyone knows that they cannot defeat the demons; they can only try to prolong the time they can hold out.
“Leave it to me.” Zuan looked at the dark mass of demons, seemingly having already made up his mind.
Hu Qianxiao frowned: "Regent, I know you have high cultivation, but no matter how strong your personal power is, you are probably powerless to turn the tide in front of this number of demons. Even if the old demon emperor were alive, he could only avoid their sharp edge in this situation."
Zuan smiled and said, "The old demon emperor is the old demon emperor, and I am me. You all stay here and watch. I'll be right back."
Hu Qianxiao said in a deep voice, "Do you need any help? I can go with you!"
He's now considered one of the strongest fighters here.
“No need, it will be done soon.” Zuan paused and added, “By the way, activate all your defensive formations later, and set them to the highest level.”
The Little Demon Queen was taken aback: "But we don't have many resources left. If we activate the defensive formation to its maximum, we'll probably exhaust all our energy and then we won't be able to use it anymore."
"Trust me." After leaving those words, Zuan flew off and charged towards the demon army.
Seeing him leave, the Little Demon Queen couldn't help but look worried. The iron birds he brought were already quite amazing, but they were still insufficient to deal with a million-level demon. Even if they were used again, the demons would still have other ways to counter them without the giant. In the battles of the past few days, she had recalled several types of demons that could deal with those iron birds.
Although his cultivation level was high, his act of single-handedly attacking a million demons was destined to be like throwing an egg against a rock.
Seeing Zaun rush out, the soldiers in the city cheered. Although they didn't know if Zaun had any way out, the Regent's strength was evident to all. Everyone had even greater hope because of the lack of information.
