"Why are these Demon Clan so different?"
On the mountainside, Wang Long was hiding with Lu Rou and the others while peering down at the situation below, sighing.
For many days, they had been wandering around this area. On one hand, they were trying to gather information about the force that was waiting for Benefactor to benefit from it, and on the other hand, they were observing when the Demon Clan would arrive to launch an attack.
Today, all their previous fantasies were shattered; the Demon Clan's Army finally appeared!
Even in this mountainous region, where large-scale troops could not be deployed, Wang Long and his group could clearly see and feel the overwhelming strength of the Demon Clan!
It was spread across the mountains!
For them, while taking the mountain path was comfortable, climbing and scrambling over rocks was not a big issue.
Initially, they had been caught off guard and almost discovered by the warriors of the Demon Clan surging down from the mountain.
Now they would not make such a mistake again.
They were already positioned quite high up, yet they still could not see the end of the Demon Clan's Army!
In other words, even if this time it wasn't the true body of Brahma coming, just this scale of enemies was enough to leave them in a chaotic state in Nanhua City!
"Lord Wang Long, you must know this, right?" Lu Rou finally seized an opportunity to tease Wang Long. "The Demon Clan is also divided into high and low ranks. These are just ordinary soldiers of the Demon Clan, naturally Low-Level Demons, so they cannot change forms and can only show their true selves."
"So that's how it is." However, Wang Long did not take Lu Rou's teasing to heart; he slightly nodded and asked, "Li Fan, what do you think?"
Li Fan was one of the oldest generals in Nanhua City. Although he had prioritized protecting Second Miss Lu Rou for a long time, it did not mean he had neglected everything from before.
Although in terms of commanding operations, Li Fan is certainly not as good as Wang Long, his understanding of the Demon Clan is definitely superior to Wang Long's. Whether it is Cai Burin or that butcher, they probably did not take these Low-Level Demons seriously, and did not even mention them, leading Wang Long to think they were just commoners who had no part in the battle.
"This can't be the main force of the Demon Clan!" Li Fan observed carefully for a while and then sighed, "What we see now are mostly Low-Level Demons. Although they appear in large numbers, Low-Level Demons have never been the main fighting force of the Demon Clan. They are more like laborers or cannon fodder. As far as we know, within the Demon Clan, they aren't even considered warriors. Despite their large numbers, most of them are tasked with transporting food or materials for magical formations. If we estimate the overall attacking power of the Demon Clan based on them, we would definitely suffer a huge loss."
"Then..." Wang Long observed closely and indeed found that what Li Fan said was true; apart from these Low-Level Demons, there were mostly large carts in the entire group. "This might not be a bad opportunity!"
"What?" Everyone looked at Wang Long, unsure of what new idea he had come up with.
"If what we encounter this time is truly the main force of the Demon Clan, then we can only watch and have no way to act. But since there aren't many real Demon Warriors here and most are just laborers, doesn't that give us a chance to strike?"
"Uh! Are you serious?" Li Fan was shocked and quickly pressed down the excited Lu Rou who was about to speak. "Lord Wang Long, this is no joke. Even if most here are Low-Level Demons, their strength is not something we can provoke. Just looking at their numbers, a single charge could crush us into pieces!"
"I know, calm down." Wang Long quickly reassured him. "I never said we should charge in directly, right? It's just that with the current arrangement of the Demon Clan, I believe they definitely haven't prepared for us to launch a surprise attack. There aren't many scouts in front of them; their grasp of the surroundings must be insufficient. We know we only have a few people—do they know? If we can find a way to launch an internal and external assault on them locally, we could achieve great results!"
A deep smile appeared on Wang Long's face.
"Honestly, I'm starting to regret listening to you."
In the easternmost camp of the Demon Clan, two low-level demons were busy transporting items like other demons but occasionally glanced around with flickering eyes.
And that voice was actually Lu Rou's!
After coming up with a plan, Wang Long quickly dealt with two isolated Low-Level Demons and stripped them of everything except their appearances. Then he slipped inside their skins using his windwalking ability, allowing them to move more freely.
Originally, he intended to infiltrate alone, but such an exciting event was something Lu Rou would never let pass by without joining in. She insisted on coming along. With no choice left, Wang Long had to bring her with him.
"Don't worry, Li Fan won't keep us waiting too long," Wang Long advised while carefully observing the surroundings. "The Demon Clan has already traveled all day, and now they are busy setting up camp. Although they have arranged for some guards around, this is the moment when they are at their weakest and most vulnerable to ambush. Li Fan is an experienced veteran from Nanhua City, and he will definitely seize the opportunity. Instead of worrying about him, you should think about how to coordinate with him later."
"Alright, I know!" Lu Rou pouted reluctantly. Wang Long was becoming just as nagging as her older sister!
"You two, stop dawdling and hurry up with the supplies," a Low-Rank Demon Captain reprimanded.
"Yes, yes, I got it!" Lu Rou was already annoyed and forgot Wang Long's reminder. As she spoke, her feminine voice could no longer be concealed.
"Huh? What's going on?" The Low-Rank Demon Captain had only intended to give a casual reprimand and hadn't thought much of it, but now he was suspicious due to Lu Rou's voice and looked at her warily.
At that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted from a distance, growing larger by the second. Countless Low-Level Demons were running around in panic, as if something terrifying had appeared in the east.
The Low-Rank Demon Captain didn't have time to dwell on Lu Rou's suspiciousness anymore; he jumped up high to see what was happening!
"Oh! Demon King Brahma above!" He quickly realized that the chaos and flying dust indicated an enemy attack! Although it was far away and the dust obscured his view of how many enemies were approaching, just judging by the scale of the disturbance, he knew they were in big trouble!
"Don't panic! Don't scatter! Gather around me! Draw your swords and charge forward... uh!"
Unexpectedly, the Low-Rank Demon Captain was one of the more responsible demons among them. Upon seeing this situation, his first thought wasn't to flee in panic but to gather those chaotic Low-Level Demons for a counterattack.
Unfortunately for him, Wang Long and Lu Rou were right beside him. Before he could finish his command, he was easily killed by the two.
"What do we do now?" Lu Rou glanced at the corpse; the atmosphere had already excited her.
"No need to wait any longer. Although Li Fan has created some chaos now, it's limited in scale. We need to add fuel to the fire; otherwise, there won't be significant results."
At this moment, the Low-Level Demon was not just the Squad Leader; others around had begun to unite, and further away, two Demon Warriors appeared, loudly reprimanding those gathering below. The situation was already becoming quite substantial.
"Kill!"
Wang Long tore off his outer demon skin and charged at one of the regular Demon Warriors with astonishing speed.
"Wait for me!" Lu Rou was not to be outdone and quickly followed Wang Long into the fray!
Although those Demon Warriors were stronger and had more combat experience, they never expected that after the chaos in the east, enemies would appear within their ranks, catching them off guard as they charged right up to them!
"Thunder Element Annihilation Sword!"
"Thunder Slash!"
A Thunder Element Sword gathered in Wang Long's hand. He swung the sword, sending several Thunder Element flying discs straight towards the clustered Demon Warriors, while Wang Long himself merged with the sword to target the Demon Leader!
"Ah!" Cries of agony rang out as they had just gathered there without any combat formation, standing too close together. Now, even if they saw Wang Long's Thunder Element flying discs coming, there was nowhere to dodge. Even though Wang Long hadn't aimed at anyone specifically, he directly took down a large group. Taking advantage of this chaos, Lu Rou rushed forward!
Her strength was already far superior to that of these ordinary Demon Warriors. Although it seemed she was throwing herself into a dangerous situation, she moved like a wolf among sheep, and the cries from the Demon Clan never ceased.
"Earthly Array!” With a single strike, Wang Long eliminated the Demon Leader, unhesitatingly channeling his Spiritual Essence. A powerful wind swept up yellow earth and sand from the sky, turning the entire camp into a scene of swirling yellow dust, making it impossible for those Demon Warriors to see anything beyond ten steps!
"Quicksand Storm!"
The ground suddenly sank in the area where the demons were most densely packed, transforming into countless "sand waves" that directly pulled the enemies underground!
"Don't kill them all, focus on driving them away!" Wang Long shouted to remind Lu Rou and Li Fan of their main objective, "Let them scatter the defenses of the next major camp!"
"Understood!"
Seeing how easily they had taken down a major camp of the Demon Clan, not only Li Fan but even Lu Rou was all ears, unhesitatingly abandoning their small victory to drive the enemies toward the second major camp.
"What is going on here!" The Demon Leader of the second camp was dumbfounded. He wasn't particularly clever, and now with the yellow sand swirling everywhere, he couldn't even see how many enemies there were. He wanted to set up a defense to keep the enemies out, but... those charging at the front were his own people!
What... what should he do?
The Demon Leader thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to handle such a situation. There was no guidance from above...
"Clear a path and let our people in. Once the enemy charges through, we will block them!"
A self-righteous command.
As the yellow sand and enemies were driven from behind, the Demon Clan members didn't care about the path left open for them. They charged right through. The Low-Level Demons guarding the entrance didn't dare to attack—there was no order from their Leader, and among those fleeing were ordinary demons! They were of a higher rank than themselves, and deeply influenced by the hierarchy of the Demon Clan, they had no courage to defy them.
And this was exactly the result Wang Long wanted!
