Chapter 971: Ten Thousand Blades Demon Lord! Kill!
The flow of the opponent's magic power clearly appeared before Ling Zhan's eyes.
After taking in the general situation of the Heavenly Demon Capital, Ling Zhan fell into contemplation.
At his side, Zhou Xue'er, Clodas, Aivina, Li Chaoge and the others didn't dare make a sound to disturb this non-specialist's thoughts.
To be honest…
Even they were shocked by Ling Zhan's sudden change in strategy!
Truly shocked!
They never dreamed that Ling Zhan would choose not to go to the Netherworld Forest, but instead cross the Gaoxue Plains and march straight to the Heavenly Demon Capital.
Anyone looking at this would think he's overestimating himself.
This is the Heavenly Demon Capital we're talking about!
The city in front of the Ten Thousand Demons Fortress!
Whether it's defensive strength or the magic soldiers and generals stationed there, they're the elite of the elite.
And within the city are ten Demon Sovereigns of the Ten Thousand Demons.
Hmm…
At the very least, even the Demon-Slaying Legion and the Amethyst Legion, as confident as they were in Ling Zhan, now felt that this plan was risky, and perhaps the first sign that his strategy might have a flaw.
But they understood this commander.
Once this non-specialist made a decision, no one could dissuade him.
Of course…
There was still one way to refuse—and that was to voluntarily withdraw from the legion.
Ling Zhan welcomed any members who wanted to fall back and leave.
Or rather…
These members probably didn't mean much to him. Even if all of them quit, it wouldn't matter to Ling Zhan.
There are strategies for having many people, and strategies for having few.
If he was alone, a lone wolf, he'd actually have even more freedom.
"It's decided…"
"After this, I won't continue leading these legions."
Ling Zhan already had a specific plan in mind.
It's not that he looked down on the legion members, but rather that bringing them into battle only limited his full potential.
No one would probably believe it if he said it aloud.
After all, everyone thinks that having elite troops at your side would make anything easier.
But that applies to other powerful fighters.
For Ling Zhan, who's used to solo combat, this really wasn't any help.
"All members, take full combat positions!"
"Be ready to enter the city and engage the enemy at any time!"
"Also…"
"Leave the three most troublesome of the ten Demon Sovereigns to me. The other seven go to the Demon-Slaying Legion."
"As for the Amethyst Legion, they're responsible for wiping out the elite demon soldiers, demon generals, and Demon Emperors!"
Ling Zhan gave the order calmly.
When the many members heard the command, they blinked and were slightly stunned.
What…
Prepare to enter the city and fight!?
What the hell?
Does Commander Ling Zhan have a way to break into the city?
No way, right?
That city is impenetrable, right?
Right now, the Heavenly Demon Capital is on full alert. Any disturbance will be immediately noticed.
Moreover…
The city walls are incredibly sturdy. The siege hover cannons and destruction cannons they brought are basically useless here.
With that in mind…
Members of the Demon-Slaying and Amethyst Legions all looked grim.
Since Commander Ling Zhan already gave the military order, their job was not to question but to obey!
And to trust that Commander Ling Zhan can break the city!
"You can set off now. Stop ten kilometers away from the Heavenly Demon Capital!"
"If the enemy leaves the city, engage immediately!"
"If they don't, then just hold position and be ready to meet them."
Ling Zhan spoke briefly and clearly.
Aivina and Clodas nodded gravely.
Naturally, they would carry out this order with full commitment.
With that said…
They decisively marched out!
They cleared out the grotesque flesh monsters along the way, sealing them so they wouldn't keep reviving endlessly.
In fact, many Professionals wanted to join the Demon Arrival Organization precisely because of this terrifying resurrection ability after demonization.
It undoubtedly gave them a lot more margin for error.
The defense system and detection magic eyes of the Heavenly Demon Capital had already detected the approach of the Amethyst and Demon-Slaying Legions.
As a result, the Ten Thousand Demons Legion had already left the city and taken up battle formation outside.
The flesh magic cannons on the city wall squirmed and charged up energy.
Moreover…
You could clearly see that the flesh magic cannons were being powered by biological blood nutrients!
Each cannon had a tube connected to a nearby flesh creature, continuously siphoning blood to charge the magic cannon.
For a moment, the city wall echoed with ghostly wails.
As those flesh creatures kept wailing, the demon soldiers and generals on the wall hacked off their limbs and stabbed them madly.
But those flesh creatures kept reviving under the shroud of demonic energy, only to be drained again.
It was like a perpetual energy machine.
Worth mentioning…
All of these flesh creatures were failed experimental subjects of the Demon Arrival Organization.
They captured Professionals of all races to experiment on. The successful ones served the organization; the failures were secretly sent here as living flesh slaves.
"Lord Ten Thousand Blades Demon, that non-specialist is here!"
"He's already reached our northern perimeter!"
"Right now, he's about ten kilometers away!"
At this moment, the intelligence officers of the Ten Thousand Demons had already reported to the Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign.
The Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign sat on a throne of swords, his expression calm and composed.
However…
His appearance was horrifyingly grotesque.
His entire body was pierced with countless long swords. Just moving slightly caused disgusting demon blood to ooze.
Even his head was filled with blades.
When he opened his mouth slightly, his teeth were all shaped like tiny swords!
From afar, he looked like a giant covered in swords.
"A non-specialist…?"
The Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign's voice was hoarse and chilling, like something that just crawled out of the abyss.
"Yes, Lord Ten Thousand Blades Demon! He's the one who killed Lord Phoenix Demon!"
The nearby demon soldier quickly trembled and reported.
Hearing this, the Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign didn't respond—his mouth just kept moving, the clinking of his sword-teeth echoing.
"Kill."
In the end, the Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign uttered just one word.
But the moment that word fell…
Boom!!
Sudden upheaval!
The entire Heavenly Demon Capital began to quake!
