Divine Seal: I am a saintess of the human race, but also the heir to the Demon God.

Chapter 116 First Come, First Served Merits

Lan Yanyu hummed in agreement, then pointed to the room near the center, which was temporarily covered by bedding, and said softly, "Is Cai'er in this room?"

Before anyone could reply, Cai'er's icy voice came from the bed, "Please leave, I'm already resting."

Inside the vine-covered room, Long Haochen, who was making Cai'er's bed, could clearly feel that as the Blue Palace Master got closer and closer, Cai'er began to exude a faint chill that kept people at a distance.

Hearing the utterly indifferent voice coming from the simple "bedroom," a touch of sorrow appeared in Lan Yanyu's eyes.

After a moment's hesitation, Lan Yanyu said softly, "Cai'er, so much time has passed, haven't you forgiven us yet?"

Forgive us?

Upon hearing this, everyone else was shocked. This Demon Exorcist City's Magic Branch Hall Master actually had a relationship with Cai'er?
Cai'er's voice remained as cold as ice, "No, even if it takes ten or a hundred years, I will never forgive you."

Standing to the side, Chen Ying'er, her eyes full of curiosity, whispered, "Bai Ling, do you know about the conflict between Palace Master Lan and Cai'er?"

Bai Ling neither nodded nor shook her head, but simply made a gesture indicating caution.

Seeing this, Chen Ying'er, not wanting to ask too many questions in front of the person in question, had no choice but to give up and continue to watch the apology initiated by Palace Master Lan.

Outside, Lan Yanyu, who had been waiting for Cai'er's response, couldn't hold back any longer. She reached out to lift the obstructing blankets so she could get a good look at Cai'er, whom she hadn't seen for many years.

Long Haochen, who was sitting cautiously next to Cai'er, suddenly changed his expression. He was still inside!

Lord Lan, is it inappropriate for you to come in at this time?

The next second, a dense surge of magical energy erupted from Bai Ling almost instantly.

A golden magic circle suddenly appeared beneath Lan Yanyu's feet, stopping her from lifting the blankets.

Bai Ling stepped forward, looked directly at the deputy hall master whose eyes were filled with anger, and showed him her councilor badge.

"I'm sorry, Cai'er doesn't want to see you right now. Please leave."

Upon seeing the plaque symbolizing the councilor of the Magic Temple, Lan Yanyu's face turned pale, and the anger in her eyes vanished.

Bai Ling dispelled the magic circle at just the right moment and gracefully gestured for them to proceed.

After Lan Yanyu left, before everyone could even gossip, a series of ear-piercing metallic clanging sounds came from outside.

The bugle call to assemble and the sound of orderly footsteps echoed throughout the infantry battalion.

Bai Ling said slowly, "Let's go, it's time to go to the city wall to kill the monsters."

As they spoke, a light green breeze gathered and dispersed to everyone's feet.

Before long, they were ahead of the other demon hunter teams and reached the city wall first.

Han Yu said, "Let's go up and take a look first. Huang Yi, you guys follow behind, but be careful not to show yourselves."

The demon race also has enemies skilled in ranged attacks. To ensure everyone's safety, strong and robust knights and warriors should walk at the front of the group.

Huang Yi nodded. "No problem."

The city wall of Exorcism Pass is a hundred meters wide, and it is piled with a large amount of defensive materials.

By the time Bai Ling rejoined the main force, the professionals at the forefront were already in a frenzy of fighting.

They used all sorts of elements and skills to their fullest potential, unleashing them wildly outwards from the city.

Even though the infantry battalion assembled quickly, their strength was not to be underestimated, and they effectively stopped the sudden attack by the demons. "Don't wait for me to give orders, just do as you see fit and be careful."

Bai Ling said, "Okay."

No sooner had the words been spoken than suddenly, a mutated twin-sword demon with wings as thin as cicada wings on its back emerged from the top of the city wall.

It emitted a piercing sound, momentarily stunning the soldiers guarding the city, before forcefully slashing its double blades toward the target's head.

The middle-aged man's eyes instantly turned red as he watched this scene unfold. "Damn it, how can there still be this thing?"

He is currently battling a Tier 3 early-stage monster that is adept at gnawing on walls and building slime ladders, and has no way to help the city's defenders who are stunned and unable to move.

"Damn, damn!"

A raging fire reignited within Zhang Hairong.

Enraged, he roared and then, as if struck by lightning, he leaped more than three meters into the air with a powerful jerk of his legs.

With a powerful swing of his two great axes, he cleaved the slimy monster in two from head to waist with a soft thud.

Immediately afterwards, he swept his left leg, releasing his spiritual power, and the slime monster's torn body fell to the bottom of the city wall.

After venting his anger, the middle-aged man slowly turned his head, seemingly unable to bear seeing the body of his companion, who had been killed by the demons, left on the ground.

On the other side, Bai Ling had already finished casting her defensive spells, successfully rescuing the man, and had also arranged for her team to occupy an area and repel the demon soldiers surging up from below.

Seeing that the team leader didn't dare to turn his head to look this way, Bai Ling sighed and said slowly, "Team leader, turn your head and look, he's not dead yet."

Hai Zhanwen turned his head and stared in that direction in disbelief.

At this moment, the soldier who had been slashed in the shoulder and bled a little, but was otherwise unharmed, revealed a smile of relief.

Hai Zhan grinned, showing his big teeth, and said, "Well done! After the war, let's have a celebration."

At the same time, the leader of the 1st Battalion also came over and shouted, "Brothers of the 6th Battalion can retreat now. The defense task can be left to our 1st and 2nd Battalions."

Standing next to Bai Ling, Han Yu saw Long Haochen and the others approaching and immediately accelerated his offensive against the demons.

The arrival of another demon hunter team means they will receive fewer points when the results are tallied later.

Although their infantry battalion had the advantage of being the first to engage the enemy, who knew if the demons would come every now and then over the next three months?

No one dared to guarantee this, so they could only take advantage of the demons' sneak attacks to accumulate more merit points.

Huang Yi wasn't idle either. Inspired by Bai Ling, he constructed an earth element version of a catapult and used the earth element disguised as stone balls to crush them to death.

The soldiers of the First and Second Battalions, who arrived a little slower, took this opportunity to quickly run to important positions on the city wall.

Some people resisted the powerful enemy, while others helped the Sixth Battalion to assist the wounded in their retreat. The whole process was carried out in an orderly manner.

Specialized medical personnel were on hand to save lives, and the entire rotation process lasted less than twenty breaths.

The demons who had climbed the city wall had been mostly wiped out, and Bai Ling, finally able to catch her breath, touched the wall with one hand and looked down at the city below with a cold gaze.

As far as her eyes could see, there were countless demons of all kinds.

The ones closest to the city wall and the most numerous were the Zelin dual-wielding demons, which resembled a large number of demon soldiers.

As soldiers from the first and second battalions carried stones, kerosene, and other supplies, the double-bladed demons who were about to climb up using their double blades were smashed down.
