Ch. 2634: Division of Troops (1)
The devil army had broken through the defense line at the border. In just three days, dozens of cities had
been reduced to ruins. The ghting had continued and the troops in the Barren Land had been
continuously transferred. The devil army had been consumed to the greatest extent by using the cities’
defenses.
Entering the real Barren Land area, the assault of the Devil Race began to slow down.
Small cities were mostly on the periphery of the border, and with their defenses, it was hard to resist the
attack of the devil army for too long. But now, the cities the devil army was trying to break into were
already the medium-sized and large cities. These cities were the main forces of Shen Yanxiao’s army,
designed to consume the devil army. The defense of each medium-sized city was astonishingly high. In
the previous three days, these cities had completely renovated their gates, replacing each wooden gate
with black iron and sealing them with molten iron. It was impossible for the devil army to use siege
weapons to open these black iron gates in just half a day.
The city walls of these cities had also been raised higher, giving the guards on the city walls more time to
prevent the devil soldiers from invading the wall using their ladders.
Everything gave them plenty of time to ght the devils, so that the undead could nally play their role well.
In small cities, erce and fast battles simply had not given the undead time to resurrect anyone; but now,
it was dierent. They stood on the wall, and under the protection of allied soldiers, they constantly
resurrected the devil soldiers who had died outside the city. Those resurrected devil soldiers, under the
control of the undead, directly turned around and fought o the devil army.
The only pity was that the artillery was too powerful. The devils killed by the artillery were basically torn to
pieces and could not be reused through resurrection.
Only the devils killed by arrows and magic attacks could be taken advantage of.
The undead’s resurrection played a key role in the battle, which made the devil army reluctant to allow
their army to be consumed, because every dead soldier on their side might add a puppet to the other
party.
Satan was in the middle of the army, riding a demon beast. He looked at the impregnable city in front of
him. The city was reinforced with magical shields. Funnily enough, this Barren Land was originally the
stronghold of the devils. The defensive array set in the city was something left by their Devil Race, but it
had now been used by human beings as a barrier to protect themselves from the devils.
“Lord Satan, please let me attack the city with Ji Ying.” Tian Jue once again volunteered.
Although the devil army was very large, it didn’t matter at all if they died. He was already feeling very
impatient seeing those human beings, who he could easily slaughter, delaying the battle.
After the rst battle, Satan had not allowed any of the twelve devil generals to join the ghting.
This was just the beginning of the war; it was not yet time to use the twelve devil generals.
“There is no need for that.” Satan narrowed his eyes, watching the thing he had left behind being used by
mankind. The feeling was rather strange.
“Twelve devil generals, heed my command.”
“Each of you shall lead two million soldiers to attack the various parts of the Barren Land. I’d like to see if
every part of this Barren Land is so dicult to nibble.” Satan found this battle very interesting. It was
dierent from the previous war with the gods: the cunning enemies were like slippery loaches, consuming
their forces with the help of city walls. But don’t forget, there was more than one way to The Rising Sun
City.
“Shen Yanxiao, you’d better pray that you have blocked all the roads in the Barren Land; otherwise…”
Satan’s eyes ashed with a dangerous light.
