Chapter 1469: Spirit Eye Green Soul Powder

"My lord, what should we do now?" a subordinate couldn't help asking.

Xiu Lie's face was as dark as water, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "We can't wait any longer. Gather the entire army and attack the city now! We have only one path left: break through the city!"

The other generals also showed resolute expressions and responded, "Yes, General!"

Xiu Lie said in a deep voice, "Tell the boys that our retreat is cut off. Only by burning our boats can we survive!"

The魔族 were violent by nature; cutting off their retreat only stirred their bloodlust.

The魔族 army that had crossed the natural barrier numbered about thirty thousand.

At this time, the human army defending the north city was only a few thousand.

Who would win or lose in this battle was still unknown.

…

On the north city wall, Zong Tao looked at Zhao Bin with a cold expression.

"Didn't you say the魔族 had infiltrated outside the north city? Where are they! The south city has been fighting fiercely for three days and nights, with heavy casualties. Where are they, huh?" Zong Tao scolded fiercely.

Zhao Bin's face was very ugly. He was also becoming uncertain.

If the魔族 army had really infiltrated, they should have launched an attack long ago.

The battle in the south city was extremely惨烈. It was said that the First Legion had suffered heavy losses and its designation had even been revoked.

Of course, the魔族's situation was worse; it was said they had lost seventy thousand men.

Beneath the south city, corpses littered the field!

But why hadn't the captain returned yet?

"Didn't you say Ling Feng went to scout the enemy? Don't tell me he's deserted!" Zong Tao said coldly.

Zhao Bin's face changed and he said, "Impossible! The captain would never desert!"

Wang Yifeng's brow was also tightly furrowed. Could it really be a rumor deliberately spread by the魔族?

Just then, a subordinate reported, "Commander Wang, the south city is in urgent danger. The Fifth Legion has been almost completely annihilated! The Grand General orders you to lead the north city defenders to reinforce the south city!"

Wang Yifeng's pupils contracted. He took a deep breath and said, "Understood. I'll bring my men over immediately!"

Then he announced loudly, "All generals, hear my command! The army will set out immediately to reinforce the south city!"

Hearing Wang Yifeng's order, a hint of smugness flashed in Zong Tao's eyes. He looked at Zhao Bin and sneered, "False military reports, insubordination. After this battle, let's see how you lot escape military punishment!"

The army was ready to march to the south city, and many soldiers had already begun descending the city wall.

Just then, a thunderous roar of battle cries suddenly came from outside the north city.

Everyone was greatly startled and took a while to recover.

Zong Tao looked at the魔族 army in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

It was actually true!

Cold sweat broke out on his back. If the Grand General hadn't adopted Zhao Bin's opinion, the city would have been breached in the blink of an eye!

"The魔族 army! It's the魔族 army! Quick, defend the city!"

In the crowd, someone shouted, finally snapping everyone back to their senses.

Wang Yifeng also gasped. It was actually true!

The魔族 had truly flown across the natural barrier and circled around to the north city!

That was close!

They had been just a hair's breadth away from leaving the city wall.

Once this army descended the wall, the魔族 army could almost instantly leap onto it!

At that point, how could these few thousand men hold back the魔族 army?

"Don't panic! Everyone, return to your posts! Release arrows!"

Wang Yifeng channeled his divine essence, his shout jolting all the soldiers awake.

The commander was the stabilizing force. With his roar, everyone's minds calmed down, and they began to set up defenses in an orderly manner.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The archers took their positions, and countless arrows shot through the air toward the魔族 army.

These arrows were specially made, with arrowheads carrying powerful explosive talismans, highly lethal to the魔族 army.

After prolonged battles with the魔族, the humans had naturally developed many ways to deal with them.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The魔族 army charging in front immediately fell in droves!

However, those魔族 soldiers were utterly fearless, paying no heed to the deaths of their comrades beside them, charging madly toward the city.

Seeing this, Wang Yifeng frowned.

He sensed something unusual in the momentum of these魔族 soldiers.

It seemed... they had a feeling of facing death unflinchingly.

Although the魔族 were ferocious, they were not invincible.

They too could feel fear and dread death.

But these魔族 soldiers before him were like tigers released from their cages, each one utterly fearless!

"Ballista crew, prepare! There's a half-step Divine Lord general in their ranks!"

Xiu Lie's aura was too powerful; Wang Yifeng spotted him at a glance and became more cautious.

These ballistae were crafted by human artifact masters and were highly lethal even to half-step Divine Lord experts.

Although half-step Divine Lord experts could fly, they would not charge forward unless absolutely necessary.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The魔族 army's battle cries shook the heavens, and they soon reached the foot of the city wall.

Xiu Lie shouted coldly, "Demon Dragon Flying Spears, release!"

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The魔族 naturally had large siege equipment as well, carrying them in large storage spaces.

Flying spears shot out, embedding themselves directly into the city wall.

A small portion even flew over the wall, impaling a large number of human soldiers.

With these spears, the魔族 experts could climb up.

Divine Path experts could not fly, but their strength far surpassed that of ordinary men.

As long as they had a foothold, they could quickly leap onto the city wall.

A fierce battle instantly began.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was on a hill not far from the city, observing the entire battle situation.

"It seems this side won't hold out until reinforcements arrive," Ye Yuan quickly judged.

"The魔族 are indeed born warriors. They have thick skin and tough flesh, and their demon souls are very strong, making them hard to kill. Humans are indeed weaker compared to them," Wuchen said.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I made some preparations along the way. Otherwise, I'd be at a loss right now."

Wuchen also smiled and said, "You kid, you're really meticulous. Even I didn't think to prepare things to deal with the魔族."

Ye Yuan laughed heartily and said, "It's better to be prepared than sorry!"

On the way to Xiyu City, Ye Yuan had asked Wuchen about the魔族's weaknesses.

Along the way, he had indeed made many preparations.

Now, they had come in handy!

Celestial Venerable Xianlin had fought against Emperor Jiushang for many years and naturally knew the魔族's weaknesses inside out.

Fortunately, Ye Yuan had quite a few divine essence stones from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, and along the way, he had scoured various cities for many good things.

Ye Yuan took out a small bottle filled with green powder.

"Hehe, this bottle of Spirit Eye Green Soul Powder should be enough to give them a hard time!"

Ye Yuan smiled and opened the bottle. The fine green powder soon drifted away with the wind, flying toward the魔族 camp.
