Rebirth of the Strongest Seventh Prince

Chapter 148: Battle of Juegu Pass 2

By the afternoon, the sky had turned dark and was covered with heavy dark clouds. Soon, a drizzle began to fall.

Juegu Pass, on the towering city wall.

Great Sword Saint Weiner looked at the densely packed demon army on the hills outside the pass, especially the tens of thousands of huge and ferocious beasts in the front, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and said, "Old friend, these monsters from the abyss are too terrifying. I don't know how the demons tamed them?"

Holy Mage Nalanchuan's face was very solemn as he said in a deep voice: "I guess the coalition forces of the continent 20,000 years ago didn't expect that the demons they thought they had wiped out would be so tenacious that even the terrifying forbidden land of the abyss could not swallow them up!"

"The demons are the demons," Weiner said, "We humans have to admire them for this!"

Saint Mage Nalanchuan said solemnly, "The demon army below is not large, estimated to be only about 600,000. Those heavy cavalry are not scary. What is scary are the tens of thousands of abyss beasts."

"Yes," Weiner said, "We have all seen the corpses of the monsters that the soldiers brought back. The scales on their bodies are almost as strong as those of dragons. Ordinary weapons cannot pierce them at all. Fortunately, our soldiers are smart and thought of using the bones of high-level monsters in the warehouse as spikes to stick on the city walls. Although this move cannot completely stop the monsters, it can prevent them from destroying our city walls as they please."

Nalanchuan said: "I am not as good as you in leading troops to fight. With our millions of troops, if we confront the demons under the city head-on, do you think we have a chance of winning?"

"I don't think so," Weiner said. "If it were some wide battlefield on the plain, I would have the confidence to wipe out this group of demons in one fell swoop. But here, in such a narrow place, our army is basically blocking itself. If those tens of thousands of strange beasts block our way, our army will be unable to move forward and will be stuck. The demons' artillery fire will probably hit us at the first time. Tell me, how many troops do we have to consume!"

"You're right," Nalanchuan said, "So we have no choice but to defend it to the death!"

"Not necessarily. Don't you still have me here, old friend?" Weiner suddenly said with some interest: "If you cast a forbidden spell, it might have an unexpected effect, catching the demons off guard and causing them to suffer heavy losses!"

"You take it for granted," Nalan Chuan said unhappily, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? Yesterday I fought against the demon's vanguard general in the mental force field. Do you know what the result was?"

"I lost!" Nalan Chuan's face was slightly gloomy. "That demon is really strong, and I feel that he is still hiding his strength. If our estimate is wrong, he should be a four-winged fallen angel!"

Weiner's face changed slightly and he said, "Once he transforms into a fallen angel, wouldn't the two of us combined be no match for him?"

Nalan Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "Although we are unwilling to accept it, we have to admit that the demons are much better than us humans in some innate conditions."

"By the way, what does his strength have to do with your ability to cast forbidden spells?" Weiner asked doubtfully.

Nalanchuan looked at Weiner with disdain and said unhappily, "I really doubt if you have ever read the history of the continent. The fallen angels practice both magic and martial arts. This vanguard general of the demon clan is stronger than me, so he can interrupt my forbidden spell, and I can't cast it!"

Weiner's face turned red, and he coughed twice and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Nalan Chuan said in a deep voice: "What I am worried about is not the demons under the city, but the main demon army in the rear!"

Weiner's expression also became serious, and he asked, "How far is the main force of the demon clan from us?"

Nalanchuan said solemnly, "It's less than four days away! The Alliance wants us to hold out for at least five days to buy time for the Continental Allied Forces!"

"That may be difficult," Weiner said with a grim expression. "According to our spies, the demon clan has dispatched an army of no less than tens of millions. If all their main forces arrive, how can we resist them? You must know that the demon clan's fallen angel army is not comparable to these beasts, especially those four-winged fallen angels. Once their dark magic appears, I'm afraid our walls will not be able to stop them no matter how strong they are!"

"We must take it one step at a time!" Nalan Chuan sighed, "It looks like the demon army down there is preparing to attack Juegu Pass. We must be prepared. Even if this is not the main force of the demons, it is not something we can underestimate!"

Weiner's face was filled with ruthlessness, and he said fiercely: "Since they want to attack Juegu Pass, we will fight them to the end. We will not get any good results if we fight head-on at Juegu Pass, but if we want to defend the city, our army is more than enough."

Nalanchuan was infected by Weiner's cruelty and said fiercely: "Yes, since they are here to die, we will naturally not refuse. It is best to eliminate this group of demons before the main force of the demons arrives to reduce the burden!"

"Crackling"

There was another thunderbolt in the sky, and the soldiers guarding the gate suddenly shouted: "The demons are attacking——"

Nalanchuan and Weiner were startled and looked towards the city in a hurry, and immediately gasped.

In the drizzle, thousands of magic cannons suddenly appeared in front of the demon army. These magic cannons were hidden under the bodies of strange beasts, and because of the dim sky, the soldiers of Juegu Pass had not noticed that the demons had magic cannons.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Thousands of magic cannons fired collectively, and the bullets fell densely on the city walls.

Although these magic cannons were not as good as the Crazy Dragon Magic Cannons of the Chu State, the power of the collective bombardment of thousands of them was also very terrifying. The walls of Juegu Pass were immediately trembling due to the bombardment, and many soldiers standing on the walls lost their balance and fell down. When they fell to the foot of the city, they were immediately rushed up by the hungry monsters and swallowed up without leaving any residue.

“Hold on—hold on—” Weiner quickly steadied himself and yelled, “Damn it! How could the demons have magic cannons? Who got the information? How come they didn’t even know that the demons had magic cannons? Damn it!”

"Don't panic, soldiers. Where are our magic cannons? Where is our artillery corps? Fight back hard!" Nalan Chuan also shouted.

"Fight back - fire hard at me and let those demon bastards know that when it comes to magic cannons, we humans are the masters!"

"Boom, boom, boom"

From the battlements of the Juegu Pass, blazing fireballs whizzed out and, under the horrified gaze of the demon army, blew away many of their artillerymen and destroyed a number of magic cannons.

"Continue the bombing and blow up the city walls--" the vanguard general Ye Kong shouted sharply. After that, he put his mouth close to the ear of the deputy general next to him and whispered a few words, and then his body quickly disappeared.
