Chapter 818: Make Long Haochen Become the Demon God Emperor? (III)

All of the equipment stored in the Demon Hunt Squads’ Transaction Centre had been taken out and given to the demon hunters as well. They were recorded in detail. Whether these demon hunters could continue using their equipment would depend on their performance in battle.

The preparation and force of the Temple Union had completely exceeded what the demons thought, so as soon as Samigina had launched the first wave, they suffered tremendously.

The Berserk Demons ran very quickly, able to match the Birdy Demons in the sky over short distances. The Demonic Eye Soldiers were much slower. As a result, as soon as the attack began, the Demonic Eye Soldiers lagged behind the other two clans.

It was not because the Berserk Demons and Birdy Demons wanted to earn greater merit in the battle. That was just how their method of battle worked. In particular with the Berserk Demons, once they had entered their battle state, they would completely go berserk. They would be unstoppable. They were obviously great for charging into enemy lines. However, they were not particularly skilled with cooperating with other clans. Otherwise, with the Berserk Demons’ battle prowess, the Demon God of Death Samigina would have never sent them up first to serve as cannon fodder!

The Berserk Demons were the most numerous among the three clans, amounting to over twenty-five thousand. They were just about to reach five kilometers from the Southeastern Mountain Pass.

It was also at this moment hat hexagrams began to light up under the Southeastern Fort. The resplendent light immediately turned the area below the walls dazzling. Due to differing elements, the walls had even become multicoloured.

They were summoning hexagrams! They varied in size, such that some could create gates of light, while some were only tiny hexagrams. The beasts they summoned varied in strength as well, but they had an advantage in terms of numbers.

All of the summoners that had been allocated to the Assassin Temple were sent to the Southeastern Fort. Coupled with the summoners who had been sent to the Southeastern Mountain Pass in the first place, just the number of summoners in the fort had amounted to three thousand. Although most of them had relatively weaker cultivations, summoners definitely played a huge role on the battlefield, because most of the beasts they summoned were elemental beings, unafraid of wounds or death. Even if the magical beasts summoned from other realms died, it would not affect them too much. As long they were not magical beasts bound to the summoner by a pact, it would not affect their cultivation.

The first round of hexagrams directly exceeded a thousand. Afterwards, over a thousand magical beasts appeared below the walls of the Southeastern Fort.

Some beasts flew, while others ran along the ground. Their strength ranged from the second and third step all the way to the seventh and eighth step. Some of the most powerful magical beasts were even at the ninth step.

Compared to the main army of the demons, these magical beasts seemed rather miserable. However, their willingness to fight to the death was unmatched. Moreover, most of the magical beasts could use magic!

The magical beasts faced the attacks of the Berserk Demons and went up to receive them without any hesitation at all, launching wild attacks.

The reason why the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass was one of the two most impregnable passes of the Temple Union was because of the huge effect summoners could play in battle. Although the attacks of the Berserk Demons were powerful, normal Berserk Demons only had a cultivation around the third or fourth step. At the same time, the strength of the Berserk Demons came from their physical prowess. They were not skilled in magic.

Before the Berserk Demon army could collide with the magical beasts, half of the thousand magical beasts unleashed magic.

The innate magic of the magical beasts varied drastically, but it was all very deadly! In that moment, colourful lights erupted in the Berserk Demon army like fireworks.

At least several hundred Berserk Demons died to the attacks. At the same time, their speed decreased.

The innate magic of the magical beasts may not have been particularly powerful, but they attacked even faster than ordinary human mages. As a result, once the Berserk Demons had approached them, the magical beasts had already launched a third wave of magic attacks. They had killed at least two thousand Berserk Demons now.

Samigina’s expression twisted as he watched on from a distance. He had a vague feeling that the humans seemed to be prepared for his sudden attack. And, since when did the Southeastern Fort have so many summoners? With over a thousand summoners, the Spiritual Temple sure was generous!

The first wave of magical beasts collided with the Berserk Demons and they were destroyed very quickly. After all, the Berserk Demons outnumbered them completely. The Berserk Demons were also from the same clan and they fought extremely wildly, so how could just a thousand magical beasts stop their tracks? Having lost so many clansmen to the magical beasts, the Berserk Demons had already begun berserking.

However, just when the first wave of magical beasts were cut to pieces by the Berserk Demons, a second wave was summoned. There were also more than a thousand magical beasts, and they were all stronger than the previous wave. A large quantity of magic was released which forcefully pushed back the Berserk Demons at the very front. The losses that the Berserk Demons also increased drastically. Even until now, the Demonic Eye Soldiers had yet to catch up.

After the second wave was a third wave. Under the attacks of the third wave of magical beasts, the Berserk Demons were completely held back. Having contained their original momentum, it would be difficult for them to deal with these magical beasts quickly.

Just as the battle on the ground began, the Birdy Demons in the sky arrived as well.

The Birdy Demons were individually more powerful than the Berserk Demons and they amounted to ten thousand in number. The demons always possessed an advantage for battles in the air.

At the very front of the Birdy Army were a few Golden Birdy Demons, followed by a great group of Grand Birdy Demons, and then regular Birdy Demons. They were like a dark cloud as they flew towards the fort.

However, what welcomed them was magnificent magic.

That’s right. The mages in the Southeastern Fort did not touch the Berserk Demons below. They were waiting for the aerial demon army.

The Birdy Demons were skilled in lightning attacks, but only Grand Birdy Demons could release the lightning outside their bodies as ranged attacks. However, the range of the human mages was much greater than them.

The Mage Temple really was a powerful existence ranked second out of the six temples. When Li Zhengzhi allocated mages to other forts, he gave each temple mages of a single element. The fifteen hundred mages sent to the Warrior Temple were all fire mages. A major force among them was the fire mage army once lead by Lin Xin. At the same time, there were five hundred earth mages from the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Not only did the Southeastern Fort possess three thousand summoners now, they also had two thousand mages! They could no longer be compared to the past in terms of long ranged attacks.

The one thousand five hundred fire mages were obviously the ones who launched the first wave of magic. They did not launch their attacks together. Instead, they formed groups of five hundred, launching three waves of attack. The spells they used was the same, all Bursting Fireballs.

The most simple Bursting Fireball was a spell of the third step, while the mages that the Mage Temple had sent out for battle were at the third step at the very least. Otherwise, they would not be able to do much on the battlefield.

As the red balls of fire rose up into the air and traveled towards the Birdy Demons, the Birdy Demons were completely dumstruck. They had even begun to wonder whether they were attacking the right place. Was this still the Southeastern Fort? Surely this was the Tombal Mountain Pass instead.

However, no matter how they felt, the Bursting Fireballs would not just vanish because they wanted it to.

Afterwards, a cloud of fire appeared in the air.

Due to failing to anticipate the Southeastern Fort would have so many mages and becoming extremely exhausted from all the travelling, the leader of the Birdy Demons had arranged its clansmen in a rather tight formation. As a result, the flock of birds turned into a cloud of fire.

One thousand five hundred Bursting Fireballs rained down on the Birdy Demon army in three waves.

The Berserk Demons below were rather miserable, but they were still much luckier than the cloud of fire in the air. When the mages launched a collective attack as an organised group, there would definitely be a disaster on the battlefield.

The Birdy Demons had come quickly and also retreated quickly. After the fireworks in the air, only six thousand out of the ten thousand Birdy Demons were able to escape. A total of four thousand Birdy Demons died under the Bursting Fireballs.

However, the Birdy Demons did launch some attacks. When the Bursting Fireballs rose up in the air, they also tossed spears of lightning desperately at the city walls.

At least five thousand spears of lightning rained down above the city walls. They were obviously targeting the mages and summoners. If they could deal a heavy blow to the mages and summoners, the losses earlier would have been worth it.

Unfortunately, this was still the Southeastern Fort, not the Tombal Mountain Pass! In the territory of the Warrior Temple, since when did they lack shield warriors?

The relationship between the Warrior Temple and Mage Temple had always been close. However, the Mage Temple could only lend three to five hundred mages to the Warrior Temple at most in the past. It was even worse with the summoners from the Spiritual Temple. They would not even send a single one in the past. Chen Hongbao was famous for his stinginess.

However, the situation at the Warrior Temple only improved now! The summoners, mages and priests amounted to eight thousand. They were Qiu Yonghao’s treasures.

As soon as the three magic troops had arrived at the Southeastern Fort, Qiu Yonghao immediately gave the command for them to pair up and assist each other.

Each mage was assigned a warrior of the fifth step at the very least to protect them. Mages of higher cultivations would be assigned a warrior with the same cultivation at the very least.

Qiu Yonghao gave these shield warriors a very simple command, which was to treat the mages beside them like their wives and protect them regardless of the consequences.

What kind of role could eight thousand magic users play on the battlefield? This was also the reason why Qiu Yonghao rubbed his hands eagerly, ready to go at it when he heard Samigina had lead an army of half a million demon elites his way.

Since when did the Warrior Temple have so much confidence?
