The divine manifestations began at the Gongwei Division.

"Let's go all out! Killing one is enough to break even, killing two is a bonus!"

Chen Zhaowu gripped the hilt of his knife and gritted his teeth.

Although he spoke fiercely, his slightly trembling right hand betrayed his true feelings.

Even a demon-slaying captain was somewhat terrified when faced with the monsters that covered the mountains and fields.

This cannot be blamed on Chen Zhaowu being timid.

The scene was truly breathtaking.

Standing atop Dragon City's city wall, one's view extends outwards, filled with monsters that stretch all the way into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

This number is probably in the millions.

With so many monsters, let alone Dragon City, even the entire Shu Province couldn't stop them.

Unless the Dai Viet Dynasty can transfer its elite troops from the border, there is no doubt that the outcome will be decided.

But the border army is not so easy to mobilize.

Even if a troop movement were to be carried out, it would take a year and a half to travel from the border to Shu Prefecture.

The saying "The road to Shu is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven" is not just an empty phrase.

The road into Sichuan was simply not suitable for large armies to travel on.

Even if it's barely passable, the speed won't be very fast.

In short, there were no reinforcements from the imperial court.

To prevent Shu Province from becoming a land of demons, Shu Province itself must take responsibility.

"My lords, how about we surrender?"

A middle-aged official with a large belly said, trembling all over.

"Lord Zhu, if I hear you say that again, I will execute you on the spot."

Xue Zhiwei said coldly, "As the magistrate of Longcheng County, it is your duty to protect the territory and ensure the safety of the people."

If Dragon City falls, you should be the first to die in battle. If you don't die, I will die for you.

puff.

Lord Zhu's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

With demons from the Demon Court outside and demon-slaying captains from the Guardian Division inside, how was he supposed to survive?

…………

Waaah.

Amidst the sound of bugles.

A burly figure stepped out from the army of monsters.

A monster with the body of a human and the head of a bear walked to the foot of Dragon City.

It was over two meters tall, with an animal skin casually wrapped around its waist, and a spiked club slung over its shoulder.

Although the spiked club was somewhat crude, it was a genuine weapon.

The demons of the Demon Court have also mastered the method of forging weapons!

"Those on the city wall, whoever is in charge, step forward and speak."

The bear demon shouted loudly.

Magistrate Zhu was so frightened that he couldn't even stand up.

Even if he could stand up, he wouldn't be able to make decisions.

After all, there are still demon-slaying captains from the Guardian Division on the city walls.

When facing monsters, the Guardian Division has greater authority.

"I am Chen Zhaowu, a three-star demon-slaying captain of the Imperial Guard. If you wish to live, you shall retreat at once!"

Chen Zhaowu stepped forward and shouted loudly.

"Just a demon-slaying captain?"

The bear demon said, "I heard that a new garrison commander has arrived in Shu Prefecture, named Zhou Heng?"

Where is he? Let him come out and answer.

"Soldier against soldier, general against general, you are not worthy to have our garrison commander come out and answer you."

Chen Zhaowu shouted, "You're only fit to let me talk to you."

"If you want to see our Garrison Commander, send your Demon King!"

"boom!"

The bear demon slammed the spiked club on the ground with a loud bang, which even shook the ground.

It suddenly unleashed an overwhelming aura.

A powerful aura surged up the city wall, making it difficult for everyone on the wall to breathe.

Chen Zhaowu and Xue Zhiwei released their auras at the same time, which barely managed to block the oppressive feeling emanating from the bear demon.

Even so, their expressions became even more unpleasant.

"What? He dared to kill our little demon king, but now he doesn't even dare to show his face?"

The bear demon said coldly, "Now let him come out of the city to die, otherwise when I conquer this city, not a single chicken or dog will be spared."

"Pah!"

Chen Zhaowu cursed, "What arrogance! Your little demon king and Blood Ape General both died in Shu Prefecture, and you still dare to come here to die?"

"What is the Blood Ape General? It's bound to die by associating with Lord Qingyang Mountain."

The bear demon scoffed, "The little demon king is too young and has fallen victim to your human schemes."

You are now facing me.

The bear demon roared, and its body swelled to more than twice its original size at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I'll say it one last time: let Zhou Heng come out of the city to face his death, or else, not a single one of him will be spared!"

The bear demon's voice transformed into sound waves that struck the city wall.

The city wall cracked and sputtered, and dust fell in a flurry.

"Release the arrows!"

Xue Zhiwei made a hand seal and shouted loudly.

call!

A fierce wind arose, and blades of wind were the first to attack the bear demon.

Xue Zhiwei knew that if they didn't take action soon, their morale would be completely destroyed.

This bear demon is too powerful, and the number of demons in the Demon Court is too great.

Besides her, Chen Zhaowu, and the other five demon-slaying captains, the rest of them consisted only of the original garrison of Dragon City, totaling two thousand men.

Even including the constables of Longcheng and the forces that could be mobilized, the total number was less than three thousand.

With such a disparity in strength, the only option is to fight to the death.

Before Xue Zhiwei could finish speaking, Chen Zhaowu also snatched a bow and arrow, nocked one, and shot an arrow.

Two people took the lead, and the others also mustered their courage and began to shoot arrows.

The bear demon was enraged.

It simply covered its eyes with its palms, ignoring the arrows that were falling in other directions.

He let the arrows hit him.

Amidst the clanging of metal, arrows fell to the ground, yet not even a scratch was done to the bear demon's fur.

Even the wind blades released by Xue Zhiwei using immortal techniques only managed to cut off a few bear hairs.

The bear demon roared, and its spiked club flew out, crashing down on the city wall.

With a loud bang, a large section of the city wall collapsed.

The soldiers on the city wall fell and were instantly buried by rubble.

The demons of the Demon Court cheered and charged into the city.

Chen Zhaowu shouted and leaped into the gap in the collapsed city wall, drawing his long sword from his waist.

He stood holding a knife.

Come on!

Knowing he was no match for them, he still stood resolutely in front of the horde of monsters.

If you want to enter the city, you'll have to step over Chen Zhaowu's corpse!

He comes from a prestigious family, but he is also a demon-slaying captain!

The monstrous torrent collided with Chen Zhaowu instantly.

In the blink of an eye, several monsters fell to the ground, and Chen Zhaowu was also sent flying by the impact.

Five more demon-slaying captains took their place, and they held on for a few more breaths.

There are just too many monsters.

Even if that bear demon didn't make a move, they still couldn't stop it.

Just as the monster was about to rush into Dragon City.

Suddenly a voice rang in everyone's ears.

The sound wasn't loud, but it drowned out even the sounds of fighting and roaring on the field.

"Moving mountains, overturning seas."

Before he could finish speaking...

Suddenly the sky darkened.

Everyone instinctively looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a mountain a hundred feet tall appeared in the sky.

The towering mountain, with its overwhelming power, descended from the sky and crashed onto the open fields outside Dragon City with a deafening roar.

In an instant, the demon army was cut off, and countless demons were smashed into mincemeat.

The monsters sandwiched between the mountains and Dragon City all looked blankly at the mountains behind them.

What's going on? Is our escape route so blatantly blocked?
