Lu Feng ascended the city tower accompanied by his subordinates to observe the enemy situation outside.
"The Demon Clan relies on their overwhelming numbers, which is why they have positioned their main camp very close to us. They believe that even if we charge in for a surprise attack, we won't be able to break through their army. This is also a trap, hoping we will rush out and confront them head-on, leaving the defenses of Nanhua City and its powerful Defensive Array behind," said Mount Yuezhen, who was responsible for the defense of Nanhua City. Despite the increase in skilled fighters within the city, he stood at the forefront to explain the situation to Lu Feng and others.
Based on their current arrangement, it seemed unlikely they would send their top fighters to clash with us directly. After all, our city defenses and Defensive Array are formidable, and any losses on their part would be significant. Therefore, we suspect they will first send Low-Level Demons to exhaust our magical formations and defensive morale with endless waves before unleashing their elite fighters for a decisive blow. "My lord, our forces are limited; we cannot afford to expend everything right at the start!"
As he spoke, Mount Yuezhen began offering suggestions on the defensive strategy personally devised by Lu Feng.
Lu Feng understood his underlying concern and smiled reassuringly, "Uncle Yue, rest assured. The reason for my arrangements is precisely because I have identified the weaknesses of the Demon Clan. We will not waste our elite forces needlessly."
"Oh?" Previously busy with preparations, this was the first time Lu Feng had discussed tactical arrangements with them, prompting expressions of interest from everyone.
"Although the Demon Clan's offensive is strong, having reached our gates within seven days and flattened all checkpoints along the way, their apparent might also reflects their urgency in battle. They want to wear us down; however, we too can use this opportunity to demonstrate our strength and shatter their resolve for a final showdown! While the Demon Clan may seem united on the surface, there are personal interests at play among them. If we can make them pay a price greater than they anticipated, they will ultimately falter and retreat!"
"I hope so," Mount Yuezhen mused but did not oppose further. Although it did not align with his usual temperament and he doubted that the Demon Clan would easily back down—especially with Brahma Demon King behind them—he acknowledged that Lu Feng was not inexperienced in battle and complied with his orders. "However, I still urge you, Lord of the City, to remind those warriors—especially those elite fighters not directly affiliated with Nanhua City—to remain within the range of the Defensive Array during combat. This way, we can significantly reduce our casualties while they will certainly attempt to breach our defenses."
"That goes without saying," Lu Feng nodded solemnly. "Everyone listen up: if anyone recklessly ventures deep into enemy lines and suffers losses, they will be responsible for themselves. Nanhua City will not mobilize its army for such foolish actions."
"Haha, Lord of the City need not worry; everyone knows this battle is critical and such reckless behavior is unlikely," replied Zhong Xuan, an elder from Xuanmen. His strength far surpassed that of ordinary sect elders; even leaders from powers like Twin Sword Sect would not match him. His presence here represented Xuanmen's stance; combined with Nanhua City's defensive formations, even Brahma Demon King would find it challenging to breach without resistance.
At this moment, many neutral sect experts newly joined in Nanhua City were subtly rallying around him.
Mount Yuezhen then introduced various arrangements and explained the functions and ranges of several major defensive formations to ensure all warriors—especially those newly joined sect experts—were well-informed.
"How is it? Still no news?" When everyone was allowed to familiarize themselves with the terrain on the city wall, Lu Feng quietly approached Mr. Yu and asked softly.
Though Lu Feng's question seemed vague, Yu Sheng understood his intent: "Lord of the City, please rest assured. The Second Miss possesses considerable strength and is quite clever. Li Fan and that Wang Long are no ordinary individuals; they will ensure nothing happens to her."
Since Lu Rou followed Wang Long and others to scout for information until the Demon Clan Army launched their attack, there has been no news. Although on the surface, Lu Feng appeared indifferent and confident, those who knew her well could not help but sense the anxiety in her heart.
"I hope so. This girl Lu Rou really can't distinguish between priorities. If she hadn't insisted on following Wang Long and Li Fan, given their personalities, we probably wouldn't be in this situation now. With the Demon Army surrounding us heavily, even if they haven't encountered any trouble yet, it seems unlikely they can return easily."
"Uh, Lord of the City, should we send elite experts to search for them again? Although the Demon Clan Army is heavily encircled, there are still some gaps to exploit in these mountains..."
"No need. With the great battle imminent, such actions would only raise suspicion. I hope they can take care of themselves!"
After the Demon Clan stationed themselves, despite suffering significant casualties earlier, they completely disregarded the ordinary Demon Warriors. The next day, they launched a fierce assault. Of course, the High-Ranking Demons needed some rest to arrange for the siege, but they sent Low-Level Demons to test the defensive focus of Nanhua City to facilitate their decisive attack.
A day later, the real bloodshed began!
The Demon Clan fully demonstrated to the divine factions within Nanhua City that during these thousand years of decline, they had not been idle. At least in terms of siege warfare, they had made significant improvements and used their actions to show that their previous victories in several key battles were not mere luck!
"Flowing Flame Mountain!"
With a wave of his magic fork, countless fireballs were hurled towards the city walls that had already endured nearly ten days of bombardment!
This time, however, there was no flash of that powerful array light that had previously shocked even the demons; countless fireballs struck the walls without obstruction, causing a section to collapse.
"Oh!!!" The high-ranking experts of the Demon Clan commanding from behind were momentarily stunned before erupting into thunderous roars. After relentless assaults from Nine Heavens, they finally saw hope for breaching the city today!
In contrast, within Nanhua City, although the divine factions had long been prepared, when this day finally arrived, it still tightened their hearts. The Defensive Array of Nanhua City could no longer withstand the powerful impact. Now it was their turn to engage these demons in close combat!
"Elder Zhongxuan, lead the Xuanmen experts with me for a counterattack!" Lu Feng decisively ordered. Seizing the moment while the Demon Clan withdrew ordinary warriors to make way for their elites, she took the initiative to launch a countercharge!
The effect was remarkable; the previously low morale of the divine warriors surged dramatically, pushing back the Demon Clan into disarray.
"Nine-Headed Demon Lord, take them down a notch!"
This time, the Demon Army came with four Demon Lords, led by Lingchuan Demon Lord. The Nine-Headed Demon Lord, Frenzied Demon Lord, and Succubus Lord were responsible for the eastern, southern, and northwestern directions of the Army, respectively. Currently, Frenzied Demon Lord was still entangled with the experts from Xuanmen at their powerful formation, leaving Lingchuan, Nine-Headed, and Rumei as the Three Great Demon Lords stationed here.
Upon hearing Lingchuan call for his troops, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord revealed a cruel smile. "I've heard that Lu Feng girl has some real power, not to mention that old fossil Zhong Xuan. Heh heh, I've been itching for this! Mo Xi, let's charge!"
A Demon Expert finally made a large-scale appearance on the battlefield, no longer caring about casualties as he faced off against the experts rushing out from Nanhua City.
Countless powerful spells crisscrossed the battlefield, forcing the ordinary soldiers on their side to retreat.
The entire battlefield was divided into three parts: on the left and right were the regular soldiers, while in the center were the elder-level experts from both sides. However, neither side could gain an advantage over the other, resulting in a stalemate.
On Nanhua City's side, they were determined to fight to the death alongside their city. The Demon Clan had already suffered significant losses; this kind of stalemate even included High-Ranking Demons that made Lingchuan Demon Lord feel overwhelmed. He and Ru Ba Demon Lord directly joined the fray!
As day turned to dusk, although the Demon Clan began to gain an absolute upper hand, the resilience of Nanhua City's experts exceeded their expectations. Despite having an advantage for so long, the Demon Army still couldn't touch Nanhua City's walls!
At this moment, an anomaly arose; suddenly, the rear ranks of the Demon Clan became chaotic, and the disorder spread rapidly as if it would engulf the entire Army!
