I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

#574 - War becomes a daily routine

Outside the city, the fierce battle raged on, having lasted for three days and three nights.

Under the relentless onslaught of Qihe and Wallace, Aka barely had time to descend into the Abyss Maw, and his troop reserves couldn't be replenished quickly enough, forcing him to change tactics.

Aka remained on the city walls, only releasing blood droplets or souls at crucial points, fighting a defensive battle.

Fortunately, the Bone City and Granules were still intact.

When Li Yue realized that the Slaughter Desire consumed in the defensive battle and the revenue generated from the livestream had reached a balance, and that Aka could rapidly repair the destroyed walls, he determined that the battle situation was temporarily stable.

He just needed to wait for Qihe and Wallace to rest before he could have Aka coordinate actions, penetrating deep into the Abyss Maw from both the Maze Corridor and the upper levels of the Library, shifting the center of gravity of the Abyss Maw's shadow, and thus allowing the shadows of the Underground City to complete the tearing.

He didn't know how long he would have to wait.

The armies of the Noose Five Fortresses regrouped, but they dared not enter the Scorched Earth Camp again in the short term. Instead, they chose compromise locations to temporarily camp, carefully inspecting the route, fearing another destruction by natural disasters.

Forming an even tighter noose, mages and warriors tried their best to observe and find the flaws in the Demon King City.

Qihe and Wallace seemed to have inexhaustible anger and energy, attacking the city day and night, as if trying to compete with the Demon King City in endurance.

War became a daily routine, and both humans and demons had to find their own ways to become familiar with it.

Shadow Nails were not only markers but also the points of exertion for Norellmore's advancement ritual.

Although Li Yue still hadn't exposed Jesse's identity, Yin Ya hadn't bothered to act anymore, and even assumed the other party was a strong intellect.

"At most, it's confirmed to be magic-driven… Is this at least weaker than the sun?" Jesse muttered to himself, "Investigate further and report!"

This domino was very old and was one of Jesse's early works.

"Li Yue?"

Such a small Demon King City was entirely supported by Jesse's self-healing bones.

Shadow and Egg didn't answer, or rather, couldn't answer.

In reality, Jesse didn't really want to help, he was just amusing himself—with the cooperation of the vault and the demon merchants, Jesse's demand for materials from the human world had already been met, and he didn't really need Li Yue as a channel.

"If we go in, can't you tear it apart?" Egg hadn't yet digested Mentor's gift. At this moment, it was rough and round, and in a very punchable state.

With the help of public opinion, the Tass Empire, operating at full capacity, demonstrated abundant war potential. The Creation Department newly produced seven spires, which began construction and elevation at the seven fortresses of the Noose.

The domino was livestreaming the City Defense Army's battle.

After all, he was also the seventh in line to inherit the Kingston family.

Jesse immediately understood Li Yue's logic.

Li Yue was stunned, seemingly not expecting Jesse to be so proactive.

"…" Yin Ya didn't answer.

"He accepted it?" Li Yue was caught off guard, seemingly not expecting the Demon King City's City Defense Commander to be so leisurely amidst the onslaught of Qihe and the Holy Dao Army.

Right now, Jesse's top priority was still helping Norellmore advance, and everything else was secondary to that.

"How do you want me to help you?" Jesse turned his head and threw the question to Li Yue.

"You okay?" Jesse put on the head of Van Helsing and greeted Li Yue indifferently.

"Qihe and the Holy Dao Army can't break the city, so they're developing new tricks? A more powerful turret?" In a corner of a passage in the Underground City, Yin Ya tried his best to interpret the spires.

"We just want to know when Qihe and Wallace will rest so we can quickly call Aka to coordinate…" Jesse was getting a little bored of waiting, and casually used his authority to check on the situation in the workshop.

For example, the Demon Market was destroyed, and the Underground River Exchange became the demons' channel for buying and selling daily necessities. Moreover, many demons who were bored in the city were infected by the Slaughter Desire and joined the City Defense Army, then died in the attacks of Qihe and the Holy Light, becoming the undead on the outer walls of the Bone City.

"Yes, as soon as they enter, the ritual will begin." In the Shadow Space, the white spring of strange blood flowed gurglingly, occasionally emitting a fishy stench.

Yin Ya brought too much trouble to humans, and everyone felt that she wouldn't dare to talk back to herself.

But before the news of Qihe and Yin Yalei retreating arrived, an unexpected domino communication came.

The whispers of the forest also underwent a slight change.

"Otherwise, he won't advance."

The scattered camps closer to the Noose Seven Fortresses were called the "Small Noose", and Noose Seven was the fortress controlled by the Kingston family—Jesse asked about Li Yue's location.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the domino was burning hot.

However, he could chat with her about the movements of the Imperial Army.

Unfortunately, Yin Ya didn't understand the function of the spires, and the demon merchants hadn't yet brought that information.

However, the Colossus's force field could cover the Library and could also cover the ground and underground of the Beast Fighting Arena, providing a "soft bed" for the monsters in these two places, minimizing casualties that might be caused by violent collisions.

"Soon…" Shadow and Egg were staring at the domino inlaid with the Aberrant Eye.

The map was a three-dimensional labyrinth map, intricate and complex, in which the part invaded by the Abyss Maw could be marked out by Shadow, and a shadow nail was nailed every thousand meters along the edge, like a tombstone.

"They wouldn't be so stupid as to continue embarrassing themselves on the livestream, would they?"

After transmitting the thought to the Forest Keeper, Yin Ya refocused on the map with Shadow and Egg.

Jesse called out to Xin Xin for a comparison and knew that Li Yue was on the coast of the Sea of Death.

What a busy life…

【Look, you're still being awkward…】Yin Ya telepathed to Egg and Shadow.

"Are they all not?" Li Yue immersed the domino in the water, it was salty.

As for the progress of the "Hammer," it was still hard to say. Jesse didn't have extra time to practice with Aka or discuss how much Slaughter Desire it would take to drive it to swing itself.

"I'll answer you now, help me kill Gerald."

【I want you to help me…】Shadow deconstructed Li Yue through the domino. Although it wasn't very accurate, it could roughly sense her thoughts.

"Waiting, huh…" Yin Ya soaked in the faith source and also threw the newly exchanged Bone City City Defense Commander ring into Aka's brain groove, entrusting Aka to continue strengthening the Demon King City's walls.

【Oh~ I was exiled to the Sea of Death, and Gerald followed the elite to attack the city, so the credit for destroying the Demon King City won't be mine, huh?】

Tongshao was still continuously optimizing the design of the "satellite" and was nearing the final stage.

"Are you ready to fall?" Yin Ya jokingly asked Li Yue.

Logically speaking, it should be the demon continuously tempting the human, bringing the human's thoughts into the pit, but from beginning to end, she hadn't said a few words to Li Yue, and in the end, she still came to her door?

Without Yin Ya saying anything more, Shadow followed Yin Ya's question and stated Li Yue's request.

"Yes, you called, didn't you want me to answer?" Jesse chuckled, "Where are you? Noose Seven? Or the Small Noose?"

Yin Ya almost forgot about this person—since giving her the Heart of Valor, the Bone Giant Tree, the Blood Rainbow, the Bone City, and the Bone Guide Cannon had successively appeared on the Chaos Continent…

In the picture, the scale of a river had suddenly shrunk, and the three-winged angel's actions were no longer as intense as they were at the beginning, obviously because they were running out of physical strength, or because the humans' faith was not firm enough.

【Sea of Death…】
