369 – Perilous Situation

From Liuguang City’s outwall, Fang Long watched the slave soldiers pour in with a gloomy shade in his eyes.

The Souleater elite troops have driven the slave soldiers to besiege the city for 10 days, with the slave soldiers suffering heavy casualties. The casualties of Liuguang City were also significant.

Fang Long asked with a gloomy face, “How many casualties did we sustain? Yunling!”

Huo Yunling answered with a bitter expression, “10,000! Currently, only 20,000 are left!”

Fang Long asked, “How many are lightly injured? How many can return to battle?”

Huo Yunling replied in a deep voice, “There are less than 300 with minor injuries who can return to battle.”

Fang Long remained silent for a moment and then asked, “What about Apprentice Spirit Warriors? How many people have gathered?”

Apprentice Spirit Warriors can barely use 1st-tier spirit guns. Of course, once they fire a shot, their spirit force will be drained, and they will faint. As for ordinary people, there is nothing they can do on the Hollow Demon Battlefield.

After all, on the Hollow Demon Battlefield, all modern weapons are practically unusable. Only spirit guns, spirit force cannons, and other spirit force secret treasures can be used.

If it were on Blue Star, heavy artillery and missiles would be able to wipe out all the slave soldiers besieging the city.

On the Hollow Demon Battlefield, not only Hollow Demons are restrained, but also the technology of Blue Star is restrained.

Huo Yunling smiled bitterly and said in response, “30,000 Apprentice Spirit Warriors have gathered! However, they haven’t received training yet. They aren’t even qualified to serve as cannon fodder.”

Fang Long remained silent for a moment. His bloodshot eyes darkened, and he said slowly, “Dismissed!”

Fang Yao walked over and asked, “How many more days can we hold on?”

Fang Long sighed and said, “If the Hollow Demons continue to attack with such intensity, we can still hold on for more than 15 days. If they attack with all their might, we can only hold on for five days at most!”

The soldiers attacking now are slave soldiers. The Souleater elite armies totaling nearly 1 million soldiers, coming from three directions, have remained still until now.

If the Souleater elite armies go all out and attack Liuguang City, then even though the city is guarded by a level-1 Spirit Force Tower, it will fall without the shadow of a doubt.

Fang Long suddenly said, “Sister, you should leave!”

Fang Yao furrowed her slim eyebrows. Her eyes flickered with an unkind hue, and she stared at Fang Long fiercely.

“With the strength of the three Hollow Demon armies, they can capture Liuguang City within a few days. They’ll just have to pay a certain price. But they are standing still. If I’m not mistaken, on the one hand, they want to consume our energy, and on the other hand, they’re targeting Shu Feng.”

“Once Shu Feng appears in Liuguang City, they will launch an all-out offensive. If you leave, Shu Feng won’t come to Liuguang City! They won’t be able to achieve their objective.” Fang Long uttered slowly.

Fang Yao gritted her pearl-white teeth and said, “Come with me! Fang Long!”

“I can’t! My brothers and my new subordinates are here. I can’t abandon them and escape by myself. I am the commander of this army! If I escape, I’m afraid the morale of the army will collapse.”

“Back in the day, when I was reading history books, the people I despised the most were commanders who abandoned their army. I don’t want to become the kind of person I despise!”

Fang Long smiled heartily, and his eyes flashed.

Fang Yao sighed faintly and said, “If you don’t go, then how can I go by myself? Mother asked me to take care of you. Anyway, foolish brother, let me protect you for the last time and die here together with you.”

With her Spirit Venerable realm strength, coupled with her mastery of numerous secret techniques, there is still hope for Fang Yao to escape from the encirclement of the Hollow Demon armies by herself.

But Fang Long can’t abandon his brothers, and Fang Yao can’t abandon her only brother. She can only stay in Liuguang City and fight to the death.

20 kilometers northwest of Liuguang City, there is a small and luxurious palace.

At a round table, there sit four Hollow Demon dukes, the commanders-in-chief of sixteen armies, for a total of 800,000 Souleater troops, and 2 million slave soldiers.

After 10 days of fierce fighting, the 2 million slave soldiers lost 400,000 soldiers. Nevertheless, there were still 1.6 million left. The 800,000 Souleater elite troops haven’t attacked yet.

Duke Stutra, who is an elegant and dashing middle-aged man, smiled and said, “Do you think Shu Feng will return to Liuguang City?”

Duke Barville, a beautiful young man with blond hair and blue eyes said calmly, “He shouldn’t be that foolish! If he returns to Liuguang City, he is as good as dead.”

“No, I think Shu Feng will return to Liuguang City. According to the information provided by Marquis Banchello who returned from Fengmu City, Shu Feng’s summoning ability has evolved again. He now can summon beasts with long-range offensive ability as well as a monster that was able to suppress Duke Devonkula.”

“In addition, he has colluded with a Hollow Demon duke. That Hollow Demon duke betrayed us and defected to Shu Feng’s side. That is to say, he has the power to contend against two Hollow Demon Dukes. If Liuguang City’s level-1 Spirit Force Tower is added into the equation, he should be able to contend against us.”

Duke Americ, a man with white hair and beard, smiled and explained Shu Feng’s combat power.

Duke Vano, a man with a serious and rigid face, uttered coldly, “Three days, there are still three days left before Liuguang City will reach its limit. At that time, regardless of whether Shu Feng arrives or not, we will take down Liuguang City and annihilate all of the Fang Magnus Family’s elites in the city!”

The 1 million-plus slave soldiers attacked the city day and night. Despite the constant rotation of the Fang Magnus Family’s elites, but due to the cruel battle, their physical strength and energy still decreased sharply. Three days later, their physical strength, energy, and morale will reach a critical point.

At that time, the Hollow Demon elites can launch an attack and directly capture Liuguang City.

This is the method that Hollow Demons generally use to capture human level-1 cities.

“Okay!”

The other three dukes all nodded in agreement.

The probability of the birth of a human spirit ability user is around 1 in 10,000. The Fang Magnus Family’s 30,000 elites in Liuguang City are a powerful force. As long as the Fang Magnus Family’s 30,000 elites are annihilated, the reserves of the Qianyuan Republic in the Hollow Demon Battlefield can be weakened.

To the Fang Magnus Family, the death of the 30,000 elite spirit users will be a heavy blow. It can leave the Fang Magnus Family out of breath for years to come. It can also allow the Souleater clan to grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

The four dukes joined forces to plot against Liuguang City. If they can kill Shu Feng, that would be the best outcome. If they can’t kill Shu Feng, they can still annihilate the Fang Magnus Family’s 30,000 elites and wreck the level-1 city Liuguang City.
