CHAPTER 979: CHAPTER 677 THIS TIME IT’S NOT 1/4

Just as Wang Yang predicted, after the spirit mine was occupied, the three cities couldn’t hold their ground anymore.

They must find a way to retake the spirit mine and have dispatched a considerable force to attack it.

However, with the spirit mine in hand and a large number of people, these attackers have not gained much advantage.

Under such conditions, they must come up with a more effective method; otherwise, they will only lose troops in vain.

Upon the return of the Weishui City Lord, the other two lords quickly inquired, "Have you seen those people? How strong are they really?"

The Weishui City Lord had sent people to gauge the opponent’s strength, which was critical intelligence for them.

If the opponent is not strong enough, they can be surrounded and eradicated simply by sending soldiers.

If the opponent has masters, then they need to send their own masters.

The Weishui City Lord suggested, "I’ve seen it clearly, the opponent indeed has two experts, but they are not very strong. I remember the Lord of Duvor City has a valiant and good-at-fighting general in his command. If we send troops to attack, we can surely break through them in one fell swoop!"

"At that time, the two of us can attack from both sides, and the spirit mine will naturally return to our hands."

The Lord of Duvor City pondered for a while, "This is indeed an excellent method. If the opponent does not have overly powerful masters, sending my general Ye Luomo is indeed feasible."

Meanwhile, within the spirit mine, the morale of the demon chiefs was greatly boosted by the recent battle, as they had repelled all the demon soldiers.

The demon chief who swallowed Wang Yang’s elixir was brimming with confidence.

"Your Majesty’s elixir is truly miraculous, enabling me to break through to such a realm in a short period. Unless they send a half-step celestial demon, they cannot capture this place."

A nearby demon chief said, "But sir, if they cannot capture this place over a long period, they will surely send masters. It’s just a matter of time. What should we do then?"

The demon chief’s face was filled with confusion, "I don’t know either. Since Your Majesty ordered me to hold out to the last moment, I will certainly keep my promise!"

Night.

The resting demon chiefs were suddenly awakened by loud noises.

They were shocked to find many demon soldiers appearing outside.

The leader was clad in armor and wielding a Square Sky Halberd, exhibiting formidable bravery.

"Not good, sir, I recognize this person. This is Ye Luomo, the top general under the Lord of Duvor City, rumored to have cultivation level not weaker than the Lord of Duvor City."

The demon chief who swallowed the elixir also looked grim, "I didn’t expect them to come so quickly. Even so, I must defend this place with my life!"

With an angry shout, he leapt forward.

Leading countless demon chiefs towards the subordinates of the Lord of Duvor City.

Ye Luomo was indeed a person with great cultivation level. Wielding the Square Sky Halberd, he created blossoming spear flowers.

"Ruffians, prepare to die quickly!"

Not only was Ye Luomo very powerful, but he also brought many demon soldiers, numbering nearly ten thousand.

Although the spirit mine was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the enemy had numerous soldiers and quite a few masters.

Under such circumstances, even with half-step celestial demon strength, it was difficult to defend.

After several battles, the demon chiefs guarding the spirit mine inevitably suffered losses.

But they fought with increasing valor, pushing Ye Luomo and his troops back ten miles.

Ye Luomo frowned, "According to the original intelligence, there shouldn’t be any half-step celestial demon experts. Why is such a master appearing?"

Compared to this side, the losses at the spirit mine were even greater.

A demon clan member said fearfully beside him, "Not good, sir, we have already lost over three hundred men at the first clash. If this continues, in less than three days, we might have to retreat."

The demon clan member who swallowed the elixir was covering his wounds, having suffered serious injuries while fighting Ye Luomo.

"Hmph! What are we afraid of, as if we’re at a loss?"

"This time, although we lost over three hundred men, the opponent also lost nearly a thousand! If they dare to come again, I’ll make them pay the price."

With the intelligence error, the three cities dared not move recklessly.

They didn’t wish for too many losses of their own, and after being stuck in a stalemate for another three days.

"No, no."

The Tianyang City Lord seemed to realize something and said to the other two, "The Youzhou City Lord left this place before these ruffians attacked and returned to Youzhou City. Could he have known in advance?"

The Lord of Duvor City was taken aback, "How could this be possible? He is the Youzhou City Lord. How could he be in cahoots with these ruffians?"

The Weishui City Lord, next to him, also shook his head, "Even if he’s willing, how can he gather so many ruffians? These ruffians seem to come from various mountainous regions unless he has a strong group in secret."

The Tianyang City Lord held his forehead, somewhat troubled, "Even if it has nothing to do with the Youzhou City Lord, the fact that these demon chiefs gathered in a short time and attempted to seize the spirit mine means there might be an agreement?"

The Weishui City Lord’s gaze was firm, having already made a related decision.

"Whether there is an agreement is no longer important. We must drive them out of the territory. Unexpectedly, there are even half-step celestial demon masters among them. We must destroy them with lightning tactics to minimize our losses."

"The Weishui City Lord is right. In that case, let’s dispatch our generals to go!"

The three had reached a consensus, while on the other side, the spirit mine’s surroundings were already feeling considerable pressure.
