Chapter 397: Chapter 308: Innate Perfection, Human Race General! (Double-Length)

Outside Mingju City, the sky darkened suddenly.

One demon beast after another fell from the heavens, revealing their fierce and menacing faces.

Their beastly eyes glimmered with malice as they gazed upon the great human city.

Buzz!

A multitude of steadfast military leaders streamed out from the city, and at the same time, a light film appeared, enveloping the entire city.

This is the City Defense Rune Array that every major human city is equipped with.

Unlike the main city, to conserve the rune array’s excessive consumption, it is only activated when the city faces a major disaster.

Once the protective array begins to operate, the city is sealed off from entrance but allows exit.

As long as the array remains unbroken, the people inside the city are safe.

Upon the city walls, rows of soldiers were lined up, ready and waiting.

With great bows in hand, their Inner Qi surged as they strung arrows, aiming at the approaching Demon Race. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Just waiting for the command, they would release a barrage of arrows.

In midair, several Little Flag Masters of the garrison stood in mid-flight, coldly watching the distant Demons stirring up chaos.

Among them was Song Changming’s superior, Little Flag Master Wang Shifu.

These Little Flag Masters belonged to different Fanqi Armies, now gathered here all due to the Demon trouble that had spread to Cui Bai Dao.

If not for the severe situation, Prince Cui would not have assembled multiple Fanqi Army units to combat the demon rebellion at the Western Border.

And among these Little Flag Masters from different Fanqi Armies, there was one whom they subtly regarded as the leader.

This person was also a Little Flag Master, of the same rank as the others, but the main difference being his surname, Hu!

And the Prince overseeing Cui Bai Dao, also bore the surname Hu!

This person was a member of Prince Cui’s family, and this background alone allowed him to stand above the other Little Flag Masters, issuing orders.

"Everyone, Dongyang City has already fallen once, and the casualties within are yet to be fully tallied; currently, this Mingju City must not be lost!" Hu Wutian spoke with determination, gravely addressing the few garrisoned Little Flag Masters beside him.

"This time we’re determined to hold our ground!" one of the Little Flag Masters agreed.

"Upon detecting the movements of these Demon Races, the message had already been sent out in advance; reinforcements from all sides should be arriving soon!" Wang Shifu added.

Hu Wutian nodded, retrieving a two-meter-long heavy Big Saber from his Storage Pouch, holding it in his hand, casting his gaze to the sky.

In the oppressive sky filled with overcast, a few figures hovered high above, stirring up a demon wind all around.

Behind these figures, peculiar giant demon creatures seemed to swell with the wind, as if intending to engulf the human city ahead.

"Claim this city and there’ll be an endless supply of human blood for us to enjoy; by then, there’s no need for fights." One enchanting female Demon, covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Let’s hurry. We’ve borrowed the power of that Great Demon, this is an opportunity to seize more benefits, let’s not delay!" Another bare-chested, robust and brawny person boomed.

"Hmph, your bullheaded impatience, alright, let’s move, everyone." Another slender figure, emanating yellow Thunder Light all over, snorted softly.

"You damned leopard, one day I’ll swallow you whole!" the burly one growled low, letting out a tiger’s roar that shook heaven and earth.

"Can you even catch me, let alone swallow me?" the slender man dismissed it.

Having said that, the Thunder Light around him burgeoned, transforming into a yellow bolt and plummeted fiercely straight towards the human city below.

"Stop him!" The many Centurions and Generals stationed in the city witnessed this and rushed to intercept.

However, the speed unleashed by this figure was too fast; the Generals couldn’t catch up to this streak of Thunder Light in mid-air, all their attacks missed.

They could only watch helplessly as the demon crashed into the activated Array Protection Light Film.

Thud!

With a muffled thud from the energy collision, the light film rippled with waves of energy, shaking.

The Thunder Light dissipated, revealing a sizable Thunderlight Leopard lying on the Array Protection Light Film, baring fangs and roaring.

"This beast!" A Little Flag Master of the Cui Banner couldn’t stand it, raised his spear and charged, a Spear Qi tearing through the void, forcing the mighty Thunderlight Leopard away from the Array Protection Light Film.

Elsewhere, the more powerful demon beings transformed and successively launched at the city.

The City Defense Array was not invincible upon activation.

If the attack intensity endured by the light film reached its limit, or if the energy of the rune array was exhausted, it would be breached.

Thus, the garrisoned soldiers couldn’t just let the outside demons rampage on the array.

The City Defense Array could only protect for a time.

"Kill!" Wang Shifu shouted with concentration, along with the remaining Little Flag Masters drew their weapons, successively descending to engage in a grand battle with the powerful demonic beings.

By any means, this city must be defended!

Otherwise, they couldn’t face their respective Banner Masters or even Prince Cui.

The battle in the sky was as fierce as the fight on the ground.

For a time, the sky echoed with the roars of tigers, birdsong, snake chants, and the rumbling sounds of clashes filled the entire area.

The City Defense Array could block the chilling winds outside, but not these sounds.

Inside the vast human city, chaos reigned at this moment.

Panic-stricken people, devoid of means for self-preservation, could only fixate on the light film above them; it was their lifeline!

Once the light film was breached, the millions within the city would no longer be safe; everyone might become demon prey, brutally killed.

No one wished more than them that the human army outside could drive away these invading demons!

"Hmm? Someone got here first?"

"No matter, the city isn’t breached yet, there’s still a share for us!"
