Chapter 816: Confronting Yu Longguan (II)
It could be predicted that with the teachings of these nine seniors, the growth of the younger generation of the Warriors Temple must be much better than that of Qiu Yonghao and his generation. These nine Eternal Heroes had won the highest respect from all of the top class.
“Samigina, the Undead Devil God, leads 16 Devil Gods. The commander of the elite army of 500,000 Devils is approaching us day and night. According to the messenger, they will arrive at the southeast fortress in about three days. I invite you here today to discuss specific countermeasures.”
Qiu Yonghao’s words immediately made the atmosphere in the War Department become tense. Although they had long speculated that as the nearest stronghold to Modu, the God of Devils was likely to make them a priority target. However, the arrival of the Devil army still made the high levels of the Soldiers Temple very nervous.
After all, in the past, the southeast fortress where the Warriors Temple was located had been attacked the most and was also the weakest among the six fortresses. The army of Devils came furiously this time, and the number of Devil Gods alone was sixteen. There was a tremendous pressure on the Warriors Temple.
“Is the information accurate, Master Qiu Dianzhu?” the old man who sat in the first position among the nine Eternal Heroes asked quietly.
Qiu Yonghao nodded and said, “The news is very accurate. It was sent by the chairman. At the same time, according to our own scout, the information is very reliable. Senior Ye, do you have any suggestions?”
The old man, named Ye Sanmie, who was at level nine of rank four, shook his head slightly and said, “We are only responsible for fighting, and you make sure about strategies and tactics. However, I would like to remind you that the Warriors Temple is a mix of six professions, which is different from before, and there should also be changes in strategy and tactics.”
“Understood,” Qiu Yonghao replied respectfully. He was really not afraid of Samigina, the Undead Devil God. At present, in the southeast fortress, there were more than a hundred thousand of the six professionals and nearly 500,000 troops. In terms of quantity, it was not inferior to the Devil’s clan. Even if the Devil army was extremely elite, the southeast fortress was built to be more defensive than before according to the federal policy after the previous Holy War. And they had the help from nine Eternal Heroes. He was not sure about confronting the Devil clan on the plain, but when it came to guard the southeast fortress, Qiu Yonghao really had a lot of confidence.
One by one orders were quickly sent. According to Long Haochen’s overall strategy, if the southeast fortress encountered the Devil army’s attack, then there was only one goal: defense. It was enough to drag the army of Devils there and avoid their own losses as much as possible.
The same strategic deployment also appeared at Wan Shouguan where the Temple of Soul was located. Wan Shouguan did not receive much military support, but the Jia Lingguan, where Wan Shouguan and the Magic Temple located, had always been the most difficult to break through among the six fortresses. In addition, after the career change, Wan Shouguan was also equipped with six major professions, and Chen Hongyu also had the support of nine Eternal Heroes. He was absolutely full of confidence. He not only would defend , but was even thinking of counter-attack.
With the continuous movement of human and Devil armies, the atmosphere of the whole Holy Land was becoming more and more tense. However, the first to fight was not the collision between the armies of the two sides, but from the top power of more than a thousand Devils commanded by the God of Devils.
With their strong practice level, when they almost crossed more than half of their territory and arrived outside Yu Longguan, the armies of the Devils commanded by the Undead Devil God and the Hell Devil God had not yet reached the fortress they were going to attack.
In the distance, Yu Longguan was in sight, and Agarez, the Moon Devil God, came to the dragon of the God of Devils and asked him quietly, “Your Majesty, shall we attack at once, or…”
The God of Devils said calmly, “There’s no need to hurry. Didn’t Long Haochen deliberately lead me here? I’ll see him first. Now we’ll just find a flat place to camp here.”
“Roger.” Agarez greeted and quickly conveyed the order of the God of Devils.
Although the Moon Devil God Agarez was the Second Devil God, he was now like a butler of the whole army. The will of the God of Devils was completely accomplished by him.
This place was still fifty miles from Yu Longguan.
In the cold wind, exquisite curtains made of cooked cowhide were quickly set in the wilderness.
All of them were very powerful, so their speed of setting up tents was very fast.
If it were in the ordinary army, members of the seventh level would already have a very high status. However, in this team, the eighth level still could only be a handyman. Among the more than a thousand Devils, there were no seventh level members at all. The lowest was the eighth level. More than a thousand were of eighth level. What a terrifying force. The six temples of mankind might not be able to be put together this much.
The eighth level could only share a tent with another member, and only the strong ninth level was qualified to own one tent alone. And the tents of the Devils were all in dark gold. The largest one, of course, belonged to the God of Devils. The tent looked like a palace of the God of Devils.
In this windy and snowy north area, more than a thousand Devils were well hidden when the night had fallen. However, when all the tents were built, a large number of Devils moved in one after another. Yu Longguan found them instantly because it was so eye-catching.
Nineteen pillars of light shone instantly. Each pillar of light was of different color and size, but even the shortest pillar of light was 100 meters high, and the tallest purple pillar was nearly a kilometer.
This was the magic pillar of the nineteen Devil Gods who had followed the God of Devils. When the nineteen magic pillars appeared, and their brilliance bloomed in the wilderness, the whole Yu Longguan was in a huge shock.
Apart from the Eternal Heroes, all the strong men in the Yu Longguan had never seen such a magnificent scene.
The nineteen pillars represented that nineteen Devil Gods had come to Yu Longguan. More importantly, the nineteen pillars formed a circle, and in the middle of them, a dark golden light loomed, connecting Heaven and Earth, just like the pillar of Heaven supporting the sky. Although it was not clear, the majesty above could not be compared with the other nineteen pillars.
Not to mention others, even Long Haochen, the president of the Temple Federation and the head of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, was deeply shocked when he saw this scene outside Yu Longguan.
It was a lot different when seeing it in person than when they just heard and knew about its existence. Although he was very calm on the surface, he still felt repressed in his heart. The God of Devils, the invincible existence of the holy demon continent had finally come. He would eventually confront this horrifying existence.
The high levels of the Knight Temple at Yu Longguan were all solemn at this time, even the Eternal Heroes.
The news that Long Haochen led the Legion of Sharp Knives to return from the great victory of the Devil’s clan was immediately spread throughout Yu Longguan and carried out comprehensive publicity to the whole federation. As the federal president, his prestige soared for some time, coupled with the publicity of previous magical films. Long Haochen’s influence was much stronger than when he first became the president of the Federation.
There had never been such a big victory between mankind and the Devil in the past six thousand years. However, at this moment, looking at the twenty Devil Pillars in the distance, the joy of previous victory was swept away.
A temporary victory was never the same as a final victory. As long as the God of Devils still existed, it meant that this invincible existence was still there, then there would almost never be a day for mankind to win over Devils.
It seemed that the God of Devils had brought two hundred ninth-level strong members and more than a thousand eight-level strong ones, but in fact, the one who really had the greatest threat and deterrence to Yu Longguan was the God of Devils.
In front of thousands of years of stored power, human beings had the courage but not so much confidence. The atmosphere around Yu Longguan was dreadfully congealed.
“Long—Hao—Chen.” A low voice sounded, and a roar came. The momentum of terror seemed to make the whole Yu Longguan tremble slightly.
Seeing the Devil Gods and Devils encamping in the distance, the high echelons of the Knight Temple thought he would not launch an attack immediately, but as soon as the sound arrived, everyone was surprised, and their eyes all focused on Long Haochen.
Fifty miles apart, the voice of the God of Devils seemed to be close at hand.
Long Haochen’s eyes squinted slightly, his pupil was bright, the body had already flown, and the golden wings spread out behind him, which immediately turned the head of Yu Longguan into a shining gold.
“God—of—Devils.” Long Haochen’s voice was very calm. Nobody could not sense any slightest mood fluctuation and it also spread far away.
As he spoke, his body slowly flew higher into the sky. At the same time, a strong column of glittering white light fell from the sky and fell behind Long Haochen.
The sky suddenly became like daylight, and the glittering white light spread instantly, driving away the darkness of the night, or at least the place of Yu Longguan, which was completely covered by this pure aura and soothed the fear in people’s hearts.
In the center of the clear white light, a round of nine-color glow began to spread, with the nine colors so dazzling, sacred, noble, but also with a lot of dignity.
In the center of the nine-color light, a huge Sealed Divine Throne appeared in mid-air. The nine-color light had a special aura and sparkled, but without any confusion. Vaguely, behind the Sealed Divine Throne, the nine colors gradually formed a circle of glows that shone with each other. On the other hand, the body of the throne had gradually become like the color of white jade.
On the back of the chair, the subtle reliefs everywhere gave people an indescribable sense of beauty. At the top, there were the sun, the moon and the stars; the middle was the creatures of birds and animals, and the part that was connected to the seat was the scene of nature.
A pair of seat armrests were sacred dragon statues and twelve-winged angels. Bathed in the light of the throne, the strong Yu Longguan only felt the fear in their hearts and could no longer feel any pressure from the twenty Pillars of the Devil in the distance.
