Chapter 1185 – The Battle of the City Watch
Some people recognized this One-Horned Demon King and showed excitement on their faces.
“It’s Lord City Lord, the Sand Beasts are about to attack Sand City, please Lord City Lord take action and save us!”
“Sand City is your heart and soul, you won’t just stand by and watch it lose its defense, right?”
There were also some people who even knelt down towards the One-Horned Demon King in mid-air, praying for him to make a move to resolve this crisis at hand.
The One-Horned Demon King coldly swept a glance at the few people who spoke, his tone indifferent.
“Have you forgotten the rules? As a Demon King, once I get involved in a battle, I will inevitably attract the hostility and attacks of the Sand Beast King, causing the situation to spiral out of control.
With the situation out of control, what makes you guys think that you can stay out of a Demon King level battle?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd’s faces turned white, and that sight was not something they were willing to see.
“But the Sand Beast army is about to descend on the city, what should we do?”
“Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover the earth, they dare to come to violate my Sand City, just fight back, this king and the rest of the demon kings in the city can’t make a move due to the rules, but we can’t just sit back and watch our heart’s blood being spoiled by these ferocious creatures.”
The One-Horned Demon King looked around the room, his tone solemn.
“All the cultivators remaining in the city listen to this king’s order, divide the army into four directions, guard the four city gates of the southeast, west, north and west, and must stop these sand beasts outside the city!
All the cultivators who didn’t participate in the first and second defensive battles must unconditionally join in the immediate battle of defending the city, anyone who doesn’t listen to the command will no longer be subject to the shelter of the city guard formation, and will immediately be driven out of the city!”
“Yes!”
Hearing these words from the One-Horned Demon King, the crowd’s hearts were quite a bit more at ease, at least Lord City Lord, hadn’t abandoned them.
There were also those who refused to listen to the dispatch, yelling, “Why are you assigning me to the north city gate? Can’t I go to the south city gate if I want to?”
“My cultivation is low, so I won’t be able to help much if I go, can I not go?”
The One-Horned Demon King swept a glance at the few people who had spoken, and directly urged the formation order in his hand to communicate with the city guard formation.
In the City Protector Formation, several black awns suddenly erupted and struck the several people.
The city entry orders on the several people were instantly shattered by the black awnings!
Just at the instant the city entry order was shattered, their figures disappeared in place and were teleported outside the city.
“Ah!”
Two of them were teleported into the sand beasts on the spot, their figures appearing in mid-air for only a split second before they were immediately torn to pieces by the sand beasts.
The other three teleported a little farther away from the sand beasts, and were not much luckier than the two, but it was just a matter of time before and after, the entire demonic body, along with the divine soul, was eaten cleanly, with nothing left.
The remaining people were shocked by this scene, and did not dare to speak again, for fear of following in their footsteps.
Seeing that the cultivators in the city were shocked, the One-Horned Demon King was not slow to give orders, and this time, no one raised any questions.
Rock Light and others, in the end, could not avoid this battle, was arranged to go to the west city gate.
Before they left, they specially came to say goodbye to Xu Chuniang.
“Elder, we’re going to guard the city gates, and we’ll be the first to inform you once there’s any movement at the city gates.”
“No need, I will keep an eye on the movements at the city gates on my own, the battlefield is critical, take care of yourselves and try to stay alive in this fight.”
“Yes.”
Rock Light opened his mouth, wanting to say some words of thanks, but ultimately failed to say anything.
He was able to survive the Sand Beast Tide twice, and besides strength, luck was more important.
There were some words that could be said after this Sand Beast Tide passed, if he still had his life, then let’s talk about it.
After seeing a few people off, Xu Chuniang continued to reinforce the formation. She had seen quite a few Sand Scorpions in the Sand Beast torrent.
The Sand Scorpion King she had offended at first might have been involved in the battle as well.
Just in case, she would have to make some more preparations.
At the city gates, the flames of battle were gradually being ignited, and the sounds of fighting and shouting, mixed with the hissing of the sand beasts, filled the entire battlefield.
The Demon Kings were looking at the whole situation, commanding the battle while communicating with their demonic thoughts.
Someone joked, “So far, Ge Qi’s score is the lowest, if he can’t pull off a win in this final round of the city guard battle, he’s going to lose a lot of money this time.”
“Hehe, Ge Qi is well off, he can still afford to lose this much.”
According to the prior agreement of the group of Demon Lords, the later the defense line was breached, the higher the number of cultivators who stocked it, the higher the score they would receive.
Those with high scores would enjoy the spoils of the battle and would be qualified to open more stores in Sand City.
Those with low scores will not only have to transfer their stores to other people, but will also have to pay out of their own pockets for the post-battle repairs, and the lower their scores, the more they will have to compensate.
Ge Qi was the Demon King whose array pillar was the first to be breached during the first line of defense.
In the second line of defense, the south that he and the other Demon Kings jointly defended was also the first to be breached.
The two losses managed to make Ge Qi the one with the lowest score.
If he couldn’t complete the comeback in this battle of defending the city, he would lose five stores, and a Demon King level magic seed.
Upon hearing this, Ge Qi’s face darkened and he gave a cold snort in displeasure.
“It’s just one mistake, do I need you guys to remind me more than once? Besides, the city defense battle is not yet over, it’s still too early to say this, right?”
Seeing Ge Qi’s displeasure, the few people who spoke snorted and did not continue this topic.
As fellow Demon Kings, jokes were jokes, and they didn’t want to offend people.
There was a Demon King overlooking the battle below, his eyes sweeping over the piled up corpses of the sand beasts, his expression cozy with emotion.
“This Sand City is a bit remote, but there are many Sand Beasts here, endless Sand Beasts are equal to inexhaustible Magic Crystals, I really want to stay in this kind of good place for a longer period of time.”
Those cities in the Northern Realm, although there are also some fat vacancies, but how can they compare to here?
“Hehe, you think beautifully, when the next smoothing period arrives, this group of us will have to leave.”
“It’s quite interesting to catch a wave of sand beasts before we leave.”
The crowd of Demon Kings talked and laughed in a relaxed tone, not putting the battle that was happening below in the slightest bit in their eyes.
To them, these were nothing more than the flavorings of a dull life.
Even if there was a mistake in command, and the Demon King who scored lower and ranked lower, the loss would only be some magic crystals and magic materials.
Losing some magic crystals and magic materials, although it would give them a fleshache, it would not hurt them.
Of course, for those like Ge Qi who ranked at the bottom of the list, it would be a different story.
Five stores and a devil king’s magic seed were still worth a lot of money.
The Demon Kings chatted idly while idly directing the battle below.
“The situation at the north city gate is a bit tight, judging by the situation, it can last for two days at most.”
“The sand beasts coming from the north are already more, it’s already good that these people can hold out for two days, anyway, the supplies in the store have all been moved ahead of time, even if these sand beasts rush into the city, they won’t be able to hock much.”
