Lady Lian wrote a letter to Wang Yao, saying that she had decided to establish a mother nest in the realm of gods and demons, so it was imperative for the demon race to assist the gods in occupying the Decapitation Demon City. She hoped that Wang Yao could lend her a hand, and she would send Commander Lang to lead a large army across the realm to cooperate with Wang Yao.
The Underworld also indicated that King Yama would arrive soon and vowed to capture Eunuch Wei before giving up. Until Eunuch Wei was brought to justice, the Underworld would not impose any conditions or restrictions on the occupation of the Demon City or the Demon Realm.
The Kings of Hell were clearly too excited by the smooth progress of the war and no longer worried about offending the Demon Lords.
Now that all the reinforcements were in agreement, Wang Yao could no longer delay. It seemed that the higher-ups from all sides had discovered the strangeness of the Demon Realm and were determined to try to expose Hu Mei and Saruman's secret plans from Wang Yao's perspective.
The vanguard went first, and scouts surged out. Wang Yao's arrangement was to avoid mistakes rather than seek merit. He devised a more cautious marching plan for the army than when they first entered the Divine Realm of Filling the Sea. The army would rather stop than take risks if they did not find out what was going on ahead.
Near Darkmoon City, the vanguard of the army encountered a small number of magic warriors. As expected, the magic warriors were completely annihilated. Since the magic warriors were puppets, the front line didn't even need to do the work of capturing them. This can be considered the first real combat training since the crossover.
Compared to the harassment from a small number of magical warriors, what caused greater trouble for the army were the ubiquitous inferior demons. After the great calamity, everything withered, but the inferior demons thrived and could grow rapidly anywhere.
Although there are many immortals in the army, making it relatively easy to deal with inferior demons, these things are everywhere. Even north of Wanghai City, the only areas where we can say that inferior demons have been completely eliminated are probably around some large cities such as Tianhai Shencheng and Shuangliu City.
Elsewhere, even near villages inhabited by the gods, there were still countless lesser demons that could not be eradicated and continued to entangle with the gods. South of Wanghai City, with fewer gods hunting them down, the lesser demons grew even more abundantly, no less lush than the scene Wang Yao had witnessed in the lesser demon wasteland.
When the inferior demons surged in like a tidal wave, they seemed poised to devour the entire army. The war demons hidden among them, though few in number, were extremely destructive, especially since they were highly skilled at slaughtering the Shu tribe, having already caused more than a dozen casualties among the Shu tribe's vanguard.
Fortunately, Wang Yao followed the path of forming a stalemate and fighting a protracted war. He was not in a hurry to expand the territory for the Lord of Filling the Sea. When he encountered such an environment where evil demons had gained power, he would always gather the immortals to burn them for several days and nights. Only when he had basically eliminated his worries would he continue on his way.
As for the rear of the army, there were immortals constantly patrolling and clearing out any demons that showed even the slightest sign of recovery, ensuring that the rear of the army was completely clean.
Although the Lord of the Sea-Reclamation and his subordinates were somewhat dismissive of Wang Yao's caution, Wang Yao had suffered at the hands of the evil demons before and dared not be careless in the slightest when it came to such vicious little things. Now that the army's logistics were running smoothly and the immortals' spiritual power could be replenished, it was only natural to eradicate evil completely.
Don't wait until the army loses the battle against the demon cubs and is on its way back to be entangled by a large number of inferior demons. That would be extremely troublesome. Wang Yao never wanted to experience being crawled on and bitten by inferior demons again.
As the army arrived at Darkmoon City, apart from the occasional discovery of a small number of magical weapons, the scale of the inferior demons reached an astonishing level. The army burned and killed incessantly every day, and the immortals, despite their best efforts, could not advance much in a day.
The army marched slowly through the smoke and fire and the ruins of Darkmoon City every day, which was truly exhausting.
However, no conflict arose among the army's high command, and everyone silently followed Wang Yao's orders. By the time they reached the Dark Moon City area, the traces of the great calamity were no longer very obvious. Dark Moon City, as the site of numerous battles between gods and demons, was said to be the land of the gods, but in reality, most of its buildings were basically demonized.
An empty city, where only demons and warriors come and go and inferior demons breed, is terrifying. Some people suspect that the demons of Darkmoon City have been relocated to the south. Wang Yao does not think so. He believes that Darkmoon City has most likely been sacrificed by Saruman City.
The situation became increasingly bizarre, and everyone agreed with Wang Yao's cautious approach. No matter how anxious the Sea-Reclaiming Goddess was, the joy of regaining Darkmoon City was unparalleled. It turned out that she planned to achieve this goal through the battle of Thousand Sails Port.
Unexpectedly, she lost Thousand Sails Harbor miserably, but she still managed to take back Darkmoon City. The only drawback was that it wasn't under her leadership, but what did that matter? After all, the demon race had no plans to build their mother nest in Darkmoon City.
Although Darkmoon City has become a demon city, everyone still unanimously regards it as part of the reclaimed divine realm, which is undoubtedly the best thing.
What's more, there's a large group of immortals cleaning up the evil demons in the city. If they can also clear out the demon buildings in the city, that would be perfect!
The Lord of Reclamation appointed one of his subordinates as the city lord of Darkmoon City and persuaded Wang Yao to allow some of the divine troops to remain in Darkmoon City. As an important town in the southern part of the Reclamation Divine Domain, the Lord of Reclamation naturally could not leave Darkmoon City idle, and Wang Yao also knew that stationing troops here was of great significance.
The garrison here not only symbolizes the gods' recapture of Darkmoon City, but also provides Wang Yao's army with an important logistical base. The Lord of Reclamation also hopes to use this opportunity to quickly restore the city, which has been polluted by the demons, making it more and more suitable for the gods to live in, so that the gods can reclaim it.
The army spent more than ten days wreaking havoc in Darkmoon City before finally clearing out the demons. After leaving behind 20,000 divine soldiers, Wang Yao led the army south. Meanwhile, the vanguard that the army had sent out earlier was still blocked outside Darkmoon City by the demons and had not gone far.
