Throne of Seals: The God of Magic Descends, the Demonic Tide Breaks at Dawn

Chapter 66 Battle of Zhennanguan

"Commander, what's the secret?"

Everyone gathered around curiously.

Cai'er gently tugged at Lin Ye's clothes, somewhat worried that her teammates wouldn't be able to accept the necromancer.

"It's alright, Cai'er."

Lin Ye gently patted Cai'er's hand to comfort her.

He immediately closed his eyes and silently recited "Tower of Eternity" in his heart.

The next second, a grayish-white light flashed.

Everyone entered the Tower of Eternity.

"Commander... where is this..."

Yang Wenzhao and the others stared in astonishment at the empty hall, momentarily speechless.

Wasn't I just in the house assigned to me by the Demon Hunter Tower?

How did we end up here in the blink of an eye?

"This is the Tower of Eternity. Does everyone remember what happened in the Cavern of Fear and Howl?"

"Could it be...this place..."

Yang Wenzhao frowned, then suddenly realized that the white light that appeared at the end of the recording crystal given by the Alliance was caused by this!
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Ye continued to explain: "This is a super artifact left behind by Electrolux during the Glorious Papacy era."

"Super artifact!"

Everyone got excited the moment they heard the name.

I wish I had two more eyes to observe every little thing here.

"Yes, the first level of the trial can increase our spiritual power, but I am already at the sixth level, so the first level is not very useful to me anymore."

"Therefore, after you have refined the Holy Spirit Pill, you will be responsible for clearing the first level on your own."

After he finished speaking, everyone nodded excitedly.

This is a sacred place for cultivation!

So, led by Lin Ye, everyone found a place to sit down and began to take the Holy Spirit Pill.

……

Three months later.

They have completed a round of collective seclusion.

Lin Ye's demon-hunting team has increased its overall strength to the sixth rank.

They are fully qualified to challenge the Handsome Demon Hunter Team!

However, since he didn't have any merit points, he could only choose to be promoted after the Battle of Zhennanguan.

"Everyone, the Demon Hunter Tower has issued a mandatory war mission. We must reach Zhennan Pass as soon as possible."

Lin Ye looked at his teammates, who were completely different from those three months ago, and nodded in satisfaction.

In these three months, not only did everyone reach the sixth rank, first level, but they also subdued Holy Guard Twelve and Holy Guard Eleven.

Lin Ye himself is even close to the fourth level of the sixth rank!
They also learned Saint Guardian Eleven's ice-type ultimate skill, freezing thousands of miles!
With this kind of crowd control skill, Lin Ye is the anchor of the entire battlefield!

Yang Wenzhao and Dianyan also learned the extremely powerful Asura Slash during their seclusion.

"Don't worry, Captain! We'll definitely be the coolest demon hunter team here!"

Bai Xiaomo, leaning on her newly bought staff, confidently made a peace sign.

"Of course I trust you." "The Alliance's magic airship has arrived, let's board."

As General-class No. 21 boarded the ship, General-class No. 22, led by Long Haochen, followed closely behind.

Later, due to a shortage of merit points, the demon-hunting team led by Li Xin and others remained at the rank of soldier for the time being.

Seeing that everyone in General Rank 21 had a Brilliant-grade equipment, the others were filled with envy.

But as much as I envy them, the most important thing right now is the mandatory war missions issued by the Demon Hunter Tower.

……

Zhennanguan.

Although they had information about Lin Ye and had taken precautions in advance.

However, the demons' offensive was too fierce, and it seemed that they had concentrated a large number of troops at Zhennan Pass!
However, the human warriors managed to hold out.

The city wall gleamed with an old, grayish-yellow hue under the setting sun. Behind the crenellations, countless soldiers gritted their teeth and tensed their bodies, while drops of blood seeped from the cracks in the bricks, meandering down the base of the wall like a river.

The roars of the demons crashed against the human defenses like rising tides.

The berserker at the very front charged forward despite the elemental attacks of the mages. His dark blue skin was charred black by the magic, yet he still tried to climb the city wall with brute force.

"The Beast Demon and the Two-Headed Demon Vulture are here!" The shouts of the warriors on the city wall were drowned out by the sound of something cutting through the air.

Several golden bird demons spread their wings, blotting out the sky, and swept through the air. The stench from their sharp claws swept across the battlements, and several warriors who had no time to dodge were swept over the city wall.

Fortunately, the prepared magic cannons roared in time, and the magical attack pierced through the wings of the avian demons, causing them to fall to the ground with mournful cries, crashing into the horde of berserkers and creating chaos.

However, a cry of alarm suddenly came from the middle of the city wall!

Two emerald-green dual-wielding demons leaped onto the city wall, stepping over the corpses of their companions. The green light from their scimitars flashed like the spitting tongues of venomous snakes, instantly cleaving through the shields of the two warriors.

The Dark Gold Twin Blade Demon beside him moved even faster, its dark gold blades leaving afterimages. It was about to tear through the defenses when it was blocked by a heavy shield soldier rushing from the side. Sparks flew as the blades struck the shields!
"Watch out for the four-eyed and eight-eyed sorcerers!" Another warrior's voice cut through the commotion. He swung his sword to deflect a pouncing avian demon and glanced into the distance.

The four-eyed sorcerer was chanting while holding a bone staff, while in the distance, the compound eyes on the foreheads of the eight-eyed sorcerers flashed red, and dark purple rays grazed the city wall, blasting the battlements to pieces.

"The mage suppresses the warlock!"

The commander on the city wall immediately made arrangements, and magic missiles flew with a whoosh towards the rear of the demon camp.

But it was blocked by a black shield that suddenly rose in front of the eight-eyed sorcerer!
Just then, several bloodthirsty monsters climbed up the flank of the city wall. Their scarlet eyes were filled with nothing but slaughter, and their mouths tore to the ears. As they pounced, they even devoured the corpses of their own kind, instantly creating a gap in the defense line.

"Fill it in!" The heavy tower shield warriors immediately moved forward, and the iron wall formed by the tower shields forced the bloodthirsty berserker back.

At the same time, the mage behind him chanted incantations again, releasing waves of magical missiles that temporarily blocked the subsequent surge of magic.

As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, the demons' offensive showed no signs of abating.

On the city wall, soldiers wiped the blood from each other's faces and gripped their weapons tightly.

Although their hands gripping their weapons trembled and their blades were chipped, their resistance would never cease as long as the city walls stood.

"The Demon Hunter Squad has arrived as reinforcements!!"

With a whooshing sound, dozens of figures swept across the sky above the demon array, riding on a blue whirlwind. Yang Wenzhao's longsword was the first to pierce the twilight, and a beam of light slashed down on the head of the dark gold twin-bladed demon, pinning it to the inside of the city wall.

Lu Xi raised his staff, and healing light fell like sweet rain, instantly soothing the wounds of the soldiers on the city wall.

Dianyan's tower shield whirled through the air, smashing three bloodthirsty berserkers that pounced on it, sending dust flying everywhere.

The Brilliant-level equipment of Regiment No. 21 shone brightly in the night sky. Their leader, Lin Ye, led his members to form a new wall and precisely slayed the Emerald Twin Blade Demon who was scaling the wall.

"Concentrate your firepower on the warlock!" Lin Ye shouted as he charged forward, raising his staff high, its golden light shining brightly in the night.

"Holy Light Judgment - Sword Rain!"

Just as the group of beast demons were about to swoop down, they were pierced through by the rain of swords summoned by Lin Ye, and pinned to the ground!
The previously crumbling defense line was stabilized again thanks to this new force!
The warriors of Zhennanguan followed the rhythm of the Demon Hunters and launched a counterattack. The shouts of battle from the city walls finally gained a bit of the sharp edge to turn the tide!
