Chapter 3064

"They actually arranged for the assassin to be placed in the Moon-Embracing Pavilion!" Du Shan gritted his teeth, "These demons have some clever tricks.

Investigate!

The numerous guards and the two immortals who rushed over upon hearing the news searched the Moon-Embracing Pavilion inside and out before reporting safety.

At the same time, the battle between the demons and the army of Ju City was in full swing.

The army numbered over twenty thousand, while the demons numbered around three hundred, engaging in mobile warfare within the inner palace and rear mountains of the Chixiao Golden Hall.

The individual capabilities of the demons far surpassed those of elite troops, and they possessed various strange techniques and skills; although they were inferior in spiritual power, their flexibility far exceeded that of the army. If not for the instant transmission function of the Haoyuan Golden Mirror being too supreme, even the strongest elite troops of Ju City could not possibly achieve a one-to-hundred advantage.

The commanders were busy directing, Du Shan's throat was practically smoking, yet he didn't even have time to drink a sip of clear water. Even so, the demons overall were still moving toward the battlefield of Ying Shu Tian and the Red General, making it truly difficult for the Ju City army to intercept them.

At this moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared within the Haoyuan Golden Mirror:

Originally, two groups of demons were about to converge by the stream, each group consisting of about ten to twenty, totaling nearly forty when combined, their combat power easily doubling, which would bring greater pressure to the pursuing troops behind.

When they were less than two li apart, the small stream suddenly surged, and two sharp peaks rose from the ground, lying horizontally between them.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the physical barrier was already in place.

The two demon groups wanted to converge, but now they had to cross mountains and ridges.

Being blocked like this, the pursuing troops arrived and engaged them in a fight that was hard to distinguish.

"What is this?"

In the Moon-Embracing Pavilion, the mirror light flashed, and a red figure stepped out from the mirror.

"Red General!" Du Shan was overjoyed beyond words, he had never been this happy in his life, "Those two great demons have already, already————?"

If that great battle had not been decided, the Red General would not be standing here.

She slightly nodded: "Their heads have already been taken."

Together with the attendant deities of Ying Shu Tian, she also eliminated them all in the kaleidoscope world.

Upon hearing this, everyone rejoiced, truly worthy of the Red General. Fighting two against one, and still so swiftly!

Du Shan collected himself, quickly saying: "Over two hundred and seventy demons have all rushed to Mei Lake; our army has already entangled over a hundred, the remainder are still being pursued, and there are also over twenty at the inner palace gate, the situation is extremely fierce; just now, a spider monster sneaked into the Moon-Embracing Pavilion to attack me."

The Red General glanced at him: "Any injuries?"

"No problem, I was stopped by Mr. Dong's demon puppet." Du Shan pointed to the sand table, "Even without the great demons, these two or three hundred demons are indeed difficult to block."

The demons are roughly at the immortal level. Just imagine two or three hundred immortals sneaking to attack the Chixiao Golden Hall—this puts immense pressure on the defenders.

At this moment, Number Sixty-Six also jumped onto the table, rubbing its head against the Red General's hand, as if seeking credit.

Du Shan looked at it and silently cursed, "What a horse P essence." This creature has people taking turns serving it here, but Number Sixty-Six has never given anyone a proper glance.

It even treats Du Shan with indifference, only liking Dong Rui, the Nine Abysses Great Emperor, and Zhu Xiuer.

Being able to actively save Du Shan today is probably also because it doesn't want to lose its long-term meal ticket.

As for such a powerful existence as the Red General, it clung to her side upon first meeting, showing affection.

The Red General stroked Number Sixty-Six's head, then asked Du Shan: "Has Ju City's defense also been raised to Level One Alert?"

She controls the central hub of the Chixiao Golden Hall, but only manages the palace, not the entire Ju City.

"According to procedure, as soon as we detected the demon invasion, we already had the alarm bells ringing throughout Ju City. Officials, patrols, garrison troops,

and city defenses are all in position, cannons loaded, weapons ready." To defend against demon invasions, Cang Yan has a special set of procedures; the Nine Abysses Great Emperor had arranged everything clearly before leaving Ju City.

Moreover, since the demon descent day is tomorrow night, Ju City has long prepared, with supplies stockpiled and supply lines secured, so there is no issue of emergency mobilization being unavailable.

"You've worked hard; from now on, I'll take over." The Red General transmitted via the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, issuing troop deployments.

Previously, Du Shan was so busy he was practically smoking from the back of his head, not like the Red General who commands with a wave and covers everything in an instant.

The Red General's tactic is to take the already fragmented demon forces and conduct even finer divisions.

He controls the central hub of the Chixiao Golden Hall, using gates, walls, mountain stones, and barriers to split demon squads of twenty or thirty into two, then three.

The demon numbers after being split become sparse, making them more suitable for the pursuing troops to "make dumplings."

Most demons rushed toward the position where the great demons sent signals, but due to the various obstacles set up by the Red General, they almost couldn't reach it, only able to turn back and entangle with the garrison troops.

Meanwhile, the Ju City elite troops, under the Red General's command, were reorganized into two thousand-strong battalions, ten in total, each paired with a Ju City immortal or great demon, utilizing the Haoyuan Golden Mirror's super mobility to engage the demons, creating local superiority of numbers over few.

Two thousand elite troops fighting three to five demons, with great demons or immortals providing support, a standard encirclement and kicking formation.

The twenty thousand garrison troops, under the Red General's command, handled things with ease, as if achieving the effect of a hundred thousand troops.

Those nearby listened, feeling her tactics were nothing more than splitting, pursuing, and flanking—these three points—but somehow, the speed at which the army engaged the demons was clearly increased, and the casualties they suffered were clearly reduced.

Originally, on the sand table in the Chixiao Golden Hall, red dots representing demon traces were everywhere; but after the Red General resumed command, these red dots disappeared one cluster after another, at a speed several times faster than when Du Shan was in command.

Her tactics are simple, no surprise troops, just swift, fierce, and stable deployment, each timing seized with perfect mastery.

Du Shan considered himself a genius, but at this moment he had to admit her expertise—under her command, the twenty thousand troops were like one gust after another of fierce wind, effectively sweeping away red dot after red dot on the sand table; her efficiency, tactics, and foresight were beyond his reach.

After arranging all the pursuing troops, the Red General pointed to one unit: "All follow me, first eliminate the hidden danger at the inner palace gate!"

The two great demons leading the units have already been killed by her; the remaining three hundred demons still pose heavy pressure on the Chixiao Golden Hall, but in her eyes, they are merely achievements.

She is not alone; she also controls the central hub of the palace and commands twenty thousand troops!

There are also many immortals and great demons here.

Ling Xu Sheng Zun dares to have designs on the Chixiao Golden Hall; she will fiercely strike his face.

The demons also communicate with each other, and soon discovered they had lost contact with their two great demon leaders, as well as the dozen or so attendant deities under the great demon's command!

Any messages sent out vanished like stones in the sea. Even the most optimistic demons can now only make the worst guesses.

Could it be, could it be that the two Lords Ying Shu Tian have already fallen?

Then this invasion plan must be considered a failure?

The demon horde, leaderless, now wants to beat a retreat.
