Chapter 343 The Return of the Savage Demon
Boom!!!!
Amidst the powerful explosion, the western section of the northern city wall collapsed.
Stones weighing tens of thousands of tons fell off the wall, creating a deep pit on the frozen soil of the northern border, and billowing dust and sand roared up.
Through the huge gap, the burly barbarian soldiers rushed into the wall.
At the same time, in the sky where there was no large formation to protect it, there were also Feather Clan soldiers flying in the air, densely packed across the city wall, and instantly entered the northern border which had always been used as a place of war preparation.
The overwhelming figures crossed the city wall with an oppressive feeling, and instantly ignited a raging fire and smoke on the northern plains.
Buzz!!!
The first line of defense within the northern city wall, countless arrows whizzed down from the towering towers.
The special sharp arrow made of black iron and driven by spiritual energy instantly hit the barbarian soldier. Amidst the popping sound, the night sky was filled with blood, and the roar of the wild beast instantly resounded through the world.
Although it was unclear why the large formation on the west side of the northern border suddenly became ineffective, the human soldiers still chose to block it at the first opportunity.
Over the past thousands of years, the two races have clashed many times, and the human army has long been confident in how to inflict heavy damage on the other side.
The huge crossbow arrows flew with a ferocious sound of breaking through the air, and driven by spiritual energy, poured down like a rainstorm, instantly hitting the barbarian vanguard head-on and attracting countless roars.
"rush!"
"Tear down that tower!"
A barbarian soldier king who was leading the army roared to the sky, and the wild beast behind the team, which was as tall as a small mountain, suddenly rushed forward with its hooves.
With a loud bang, hundreds of towers guarding the garrison camp were collapsed in an instant.
At this time, five figures came out from the darkness of the night, all holding sharp heavy swords in their hands, and cut into the guard camp with terrifying force. Their young bodies were extremely agile.
This is a genius from the demon clan, who is leading the way with his powerful strength and continuously reaping rewards on the battlefield.
Whether it is the barbarians who have been attacking the northern border, or the demons who have remained silent for generations.
Regardless of which clan they belonged to, they had been preparing for the "Return to Kyushu" campaign for a thousand years. Prodigies like them could no longer resist the urge to achieve great things at this moment.
The northwest guard camp was engulfed in an instant, and raging fire began to burn along the withered grassland.
Thick black and gray smoke billowed into the sky and began to spread in all directions.
At this time, above the collapsed west city wall, a sedan chair came flying in the air. Ye Han, the son of the Demon Emperor, sat quietly on the sedan chair, overlooking the scene of the army approaching and squinting his eyes.
He had actually dreamed of today's scene countless times.
Especially when the barbarians sent an envoy to the Snow Region, he had been eager to act countless times.
However, his father always felt that the time was not right, and wanted to wait until the old man from Tianshuyuan left this world to get a glimpse of the secrets.
So their demon clan had been waiting continuously, until a few days ago, when his father suddenly sent an envoy to the Shiwan Mountains.
He knew then that the time had come.
Jiuzhou, my demon clan is finally back.
Ye Han's eyes were bright and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
He was entrusted with an important task by the Demon Emperor and led the first group of demon soldiers to capture the northern border. He then crossed the vast northern border and pushed the front line directly to the border of Youyun. He joined forces with the barbarians to seize two large states as his new tribal territory.
By then, the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the vast snowfields will be connected to the northern border, and the entire northwest of the continent will be under their control.
Amidst the fierce battle, the excited soldiers of the two tribes continued to advance and reached the Yuhong Mountains in the north.
At this moment, the main human army guarding the west came rushing towards them, with their horses neighing.
The army was led by a famous general in the Zhenbei Army named Yu Lei.
Following his command, a large number of heavily armored soldiers raised their shields and drew their guns, charging towards the barbarian demon army. The heavy footsteps shook the hills.
The blades touched and the battle began instantly.
The lower-level soldiers collided like a torrent, and the fighting broke out in an instant.
During this period, countless figures with powerful auras jumped out from the army, carrying a magnificent aura and charging into the oncoming human army, colliding violently with the masters who stood up.
Seeing this chaotic and complicated battle, Yu Lei's eyes froze instantly.
For thousands of years, the northwest has never been the focus of the barbarians' attacks.
But who would have thought that today, the northern border suffered a night attack, and the protective formation suddenly failed at this location, causing the main force stationed here to be completely unable to react in time.
This is certainly not a coincidence, it must be a premeditated attack.
“Report!!!!”
"speak."
"The city guards stationed at the northwest wall are deserted, but there are large pools of blood in the camp. Judging by how dry they are, they must have been attacked and killed the day the formation failed."
Hearing his subordinates' report, Yu Lei couldn't help but grit his teeth: "What a plan!"
The messenger knelt and said, "General, the enemy is too numerous. We can't hold on alone."
"Quickly send a message to the central camp and send people to support us!"
"yes!"
The first northern blocking battle lasted a whole night. Yu Lei's army was defeated under the powerful pressure of the barbarian monsters, and even failed to stop their march.
In fact, this is not surprising, because the defending army is naturally passive when facing the attacking vanguard army.
In particular, the combat power between the Zhenbei Army and the barbarians is basically equal. Now that the demon tribe has joined, the balance will naturally be broken.
By the time the central camp sent people to support, the barbarian and demon tribes had already pushed their armies past the south side of Yuhong Mountain.
Behind the front line, the former headquarters of the Northwest City Defense Division.
The command camps of the demon and barbarian tribes were stationed here, hoping to take advantage of the natural height of the Yuhong Mountains to overlook the entire battlefield.
Late at night, as the second attack gradually unfolded, the demons and barbarians had a brief meeting and agreed to re-formulate the offensive tactics in the tactical camp.
They are now allies, fighting against the human race, and their goal is also to return to Jiuzhou.
Breaking through the northern city walls was the first stage of their plan. Now that the walls have been breached and the army has pushed into the northern border, it is natural to once again formulate an offensive direction and tactics that can be fully coordinated.
Under the deep night, the demon prince Ye Han came wearing a thick winter fur coat.
This cold fur coat is a must for life in the snowy region, but in the warm climate of Kyushu, he has already started sweating.
But he did not take it off, but let the sweat flow, because he wanted to remind himself of the injustice of heaven to the demon race.
Along with him came the heirs of the Lin and Ya tribes, Lin Dou and Ya Shan. They were both young clan leaders and also extremely talented demon generals. They had now reached the peak of the Xuan demon realm.
The demon race and the barbarian race are both races whose realms are divided by combat power, and they cultivate their own talents.
The barbarian realm is divided into lower soldiers, upper soldiers, soldier kings, general kings, and tribal kings.
The demon clan is divided into different realms based on dust demons, spirit demons, mysterious demons, celestial demons, and demon kings.
The peak realm of Xuan Yao is comparable to the initial realm of Yingtian of the human race, and is rare among their race.
The three of them arrived at the camp and first looked at the map and sand table. After thinking for a long time, they saw a group of six barbarians coming in through the curtain.
Like the demon tribe led by the prince, the barbarians also sent two princes and a princess to this battle.
The one who holds real power is the eldest prince of the barbarian tribe, Tuoba Yi, accompanied by his younger brother Tuoba Chen and princess Tuoba Jiazi.
The realms of the three people were also very profound, which made Ye Han feel a faint sense of oppression coming towards him. It should be that someone has entered the realm of General King.
Judging from their attire, the two groups looked very different.
The barbarians' clothing is very rough, especially the men's clothing, which is very revealing. This is their habit, and they like to show off their strong bodies to the outside world.
"Prince Ye, how are you?"
"The two armies are now allies, so Brother Tuoba naturally doesn't need to be polite."
After Ye Han finished speaking, he asked the barbarian group to look at the map they had prepared. "From the invasion of the northern border to Yuhong Mountain, our two tribes' armies have been moving very smoothly. If we continue at this pace, we will reach the border of Youyun and Youyun states within a month."
Tuoba Yi looked up at the map and said, "For so many years, we have all been longing to return to our homeland. Now our wish is finally fulfilled. I don't even want to wait a day longer."
"Brother Tuoba is right, but I think we should slow down a bit."
"?"
Ye Han raised two fingers: "In two months, we will conquer the two states of Youyun."
Before her brother could speak, Tuoba Jiazi raised her eyes and said, "The human army's reinforcements have been arriving one after another. The longer the battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for our subsequent march."
Ye Han shook his head and pointed to Youyun's northern border. "This place is called Greystone Gorge. It's full of ravines and the terrain is rugged. It's considered a natural barrier. The human army will definitely choose to defend here after being defeated. If they use the terrain to drag us in, I think it will be very troublesome."
"Prince Ye hopes to stretch out the front and fully consume them in the northern plains, which is conducive to the battle between our two tribes."
"That's right. We can slow down and wait for our main army to catch up."
The barbarians and demons had been longing for Kyushu for too long, and they became fanatical the moment they broke through the northern city wall.
But for Ye Han, this enthusiasm cannot go too far.
Amidst the prolonged war, the vanguard forces of the barbarians and demons began to slow down and continue to merge with the subsequent main forces that continued to cross the city walls.
The main forces of the human race were also constantly coming to support, causing the scale of the entire war to become larger and larger.
However, the Zhenbei Army was slightly inferior in terms of both the quality of soldiers and scale, so the entire front continued to move southward, gradually pressing towards the two states of Youyun.
Fortunately, there was the northern plains as a buffer. Seeing the war coming, the people of the two states all began to flee with their families.
At the same time, the news that the joint forces of the barbarians and demons had invaded the northern border quickly spread from the human cities to the hinterland.
Upon hearing the news, many people were stunned. They didn't understand why the northern border, with its protective formation, was breached, and they didn't understand why the demons suddenly formed an alliance with the barbarians.
But it must be said that the two tribes of barbarians and demons have a very accurate grasp of the right time, place and people.
Qingyun was already in chaos because of the disaster, and its vitality was severely damaged. After that, there were constant fights between the aristocratic families, and the internal strife of the Immortal Sect was growing. Facing the pressure from this powerful clan, it was simply unable to cope with it.
As the news of the war gradually spread throughout the world, the fighting in the north became more and more intense.
Especially when the coalition forces of the Barbarians and Demons approached the Greystone Gorge, they launched a fierce attack, breaking the usual pace of marching and overwhelming the two states.
The Zhenbei Army launched a counterattack with the help of the natural barrier, but still failed to stop their offensive.
At this time, they arrived at the border between Youyun and other states and took the lead in capturing sixteen major human cities.
The environment in the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Ten Thousand Miles of Snowy Area is harsh, and the food and grass produced there cannot sustain a rapid march for too long.
So after occupying the northern third of the area of Youyun and Yun states, the two tribes immediately set up camp, began to plunder the entire city, and took a rest and reorganization.
The war between ethnic groups did not happen overnight. They have been waiting for thousands of years and are not in a hurry.
However, their search was not smooth.
There are no immortal cultivators in the northern wilderness, but there are many immortal cultivator families in the sixteen occupied cities.
These people are fundamentally different from the civilians who fled earlier.
For civilians, both Yunzhou and Youzhou are purgatory that oppresses them. Naturally, they will not hesitate at all if there is a chance to escape.
But for those aristocratic families, clan land is everything.
Because according to the Qingyun Immortal Rules, only the clan land can represent the survival of the family, and their family's generations of business are all rooted here.
If they really fled to other states and counties, how could other families cede part of their land to them? If they lost their clan land, they would inevitably perish in this world that is constantly being fought over.
So they always held on to hope, but when the army entered the city, they had already lost their last chance.
Buzz!!!!!!!
Amidst the billowing smoke and flames of war, the palace gate of the Xiang family, a century-old Yunzhou clan, was fiercely smashed by a sharp blade that fell from the sky.
Countless Xiang family disciples soared into the sky, and the roaring magic collided violently with them.
The Xiang family was quite powerful, with six ancestors in the Yingtian realm. At this moment, they suddenly flipped their palms and killed a group of demon soldiers. Then, ten figures came from the sky.
They were ten geniuses from the demon clan. When they landed, they burst out with a strong aura and fought with them fiercely.
These old people have lived for endless years and boast that they have walked more roads than the younger generations have tasted, but they really don’t understand the barbarians and the demons.
It was not until they fought and felt the powerful energy like splitting a mountain that they realized they were different from humans.
It takes years of hard work for humans to cultivate their Taoism, but for demons, their physical fitness has nothing to do with age.
The Xiang family was quickly razed to the ground, and the other surrounding families were also killed one after another, leaving only the remains of their bodies scattered all over the ground in the huge city.
After these immortal cultivation families were eliminated, the demon soldiers began to continue plundering, gathering together all the food, spiritual wine, cloth, livestock, etc. in the city, and then went into a period of rest and recuperation.
At this time, the Zhenbei Army had pushed to the central part of Youyun and other states, and the battle report was also passed to Shengjing.
"Between Youzhou and Yunzhou is the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace, yet they didn't even take action..."
"Xuanyuan has been acting very strangely. Not only did they quickly close the mountain after the disaster, but the mountain gate formation is also rippling. In my opinion, the headmaster of Xuanyuan is probably no longer alive."
Prince Chong was holding the teacup and whispering to the officials around him.
People in the world are not stupid. There have actually been many discussions like this before.
Even the Chen family ancestor who was in seclusion recuperating from his injuries seemed very suspicious to everyone.
Because at this critical moment, if they were really fine, they should be like the young master of Lingjian Mountain, showing up in the mountain from time to time to warn the world.
Wei Li refilled Prince Chong's tea. "The Barbarian and Monster armies have already entered Youyun Prefecture. Your Majesty's condition has been getting worse over the past few days."
"Thinking of a solution, right?"
"Yes, it is said that after yesterday's morning court session, the Sixianjian has already sent people to the major immortal sects. Even that old fellow Wang Mingchang was summoned to the palace yesterday."
King Chong frowned after hearing this: "It seems that they are first asking for help from the Immortal Sect, and secondly, they want to send envoys to negotiate and delay time."
As it turned out, their guess was indeed correct.
As the Immortal Supervisor went to visit the Immortal Sect, except for the Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion where the mountain gate formation was tightly closed, all the sects and families sent people to gather in Shengjing.
After discussion, You Yingqiu and Zuo Qiuyang also sent several elders, along with some inner court disciples, to join in.
This is different from civil strife. The human race who has experienced the ancient war knows that civil strife has a bottom line. After all, the immortal sect has not yet perished, but alien invasion is not something that can be taken for granted.
On the other hand, Wang Mingchang, who had been on a diplomatic mission to the Snow Region once, led the delegation north again. However, he did not go to the barbarian camp in Youzhou, but only went to the demon camp stationed in Yunzhou.
This is actually a divisive move.
Because since the two tribes arrived at the border of Youzhou, their closely united armies began to disperse, and even the camps were no longer stationed together, which shows that they were also wary of each other.
This is actually related to the vigilance that is ingrained in the demon race.
Back then, the demons and humans fought against the remnants of the human race, and in the end the human race rose up, but they had no choice but to migrate to the cold land in the far north, where they barely survived. Now that they have returned, they naturally don't want to be a victim of corruption again.
At this time, Daxia sent an envoy to meet the demon tribe alone. Regardless of whether they could meet the demon prince, it was always an attempt to break the alliance between the two sides.
But to their disappointment, the delegation was unable to even enter the city where the demon tribe lived.
After a short rest, the barbarian and demon armies began to advance into the two states of Youyun at the same time.
Some immortal cultivators joined the battle, and the siege speed of the two armies was slowed down infinitely.
But it is extremely difficult to expel them from the two states of Youyun.
At this moment, the human race suddenly realized that since the barbarians and the demons crossed the northern wall together, Qingyun Jiuzhou was no longer the Qingyun Jiuzhou of the human race.
The demons and barbarians who had left this continent two years ago have really returned, and this has become a fact.
(Ji You will probably wake up in the next chapter. This part of the outline is a bit complicated, I need to sort it out again. Please give me a monthly vote.)
