Chapter 1258: Missed the Opportunity

The Foreign Tribe Leader was on his way bringing reinforcements when he received news that the city wall had fallen, and he immediately issued an order: "Everyone gather at the forward city wall and drive those people back."

In an instant, all the Foreign Tribe troops inside the city began converging on the city wall.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun's Demon Cultivator team had also begun the counterattack.

The ordinary Corpse Demon Army could not block their assault at all; like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, they cleared a huge opening atop the city wall.

The following troops also all climbed onto the city wall.

Afterwards, the team immediately split into three groups and charged toward three directions.

The largest contingent headed into the city, while the two smaller ones moved along the wall in opposite directions to start clearing the defending Foreign Tribe army.

Creating an opening for the outside troops to enter the city.

Inside the city, shouts and cries of battle rang everywhere.

The force attacking the city soon met the Leader's men blocking them, and their advance slowed.

They also shifted from offense to defense, fighting steadily. Main defensive gear such as doors and shields were on their side, so they sustained no damage for a time.

The advance of the other two groups, however, was extremely fast.

Where they swept through, another squad of elite soldiers outside immediately climbed the wall, using it as a barrier to prevent any Foreign Tribe from escaping.

"When the city wall is fully occupied, that's the start of your attack, right?" Zuo Mu also saw the purpose of Ye Liuyun's team.

"Probably so!" Ye Liuyun thought that they must have designed it that way.

"You didn't know?" Zuo Mu was shocked again.

"We didn't know their siege plan in advance!" Qin Peng added.

"You really are at ease… but such a team does earn your trust!"

Zuo Mu was first surprised, but then understood that Ye Liuyun wanted to develop the team in all directions.

Zuo Mu could see Ye Liuyun's team's intention, and the opposing Foreign Tribe Leader could naturally see it as well.

But he couldn't understand why such a small number of people would try to encircle him?

He had been unhurried, apparently waiting for Ye Liuyun's team to enter the city before launching a counterattack.

He was also covertly moving his forces, letting several different squads prepare for a simultaneous counteroffensive to wipe out Ye Liuyun's team inside the city.

Thus both sides were buying time, awaiting the final eruption.

And these Foreign Tribe members completely missed the opportunity. Had they been more alert, they would have realized that the attacking force was not fully assaulting them, merely defending.

Only the two teams on the wall were rapidly slaying the defending soldiers and letting comrades from outside in.

If the Foreign Tribe Leader led the main army to break out of the city, Ye Liuyun's team would have to keep pursuing. Even with interceptions, they couldn't stop that many.

But his decision ultimately caused the entire Foreign Tribe army to be surrounded by Ye Liuyun's team.

After the other two teams cleared the wall and handed it over to another squad, they merged and charged into the city.

The front-line team, previously focused on defense, suddenly changed style and launched a fierce attack. The two teams began to flank the Foreign Tribe army.

The defensive team's doors were also taken down.

"Kill!"

The Foreign Tribe Leader gave a command, and three squads from his forces immediately surged out, attacking backward and toward the two side walls.

The main Foreign Tribe force was still battling Ye Liuyun's Demon Cultivator team.

Seeing the Demon Cultivator team drop their defenses, they thought the opportunity had arrived and launched a full assault.

The fiercest battle inside the city began as a result.

But once the fight started, the Foreign Tribe Leader discovered a problem.

His two Tianzun Realm strongmen had been eliminated.

A Tianzun Realm strongman was wiped out at a single encounter, which shows the opponent is very powerful.

Although those two strongmen were suddenly slain by a joint effort of the rescue Demon Cultivators.

Yet both the timing of the attack and the coordination among them were flawless.

If even Tianzun strongmen were wiped out, the lower-level Foreign Tribe soldiers were no match at all.

At the first strike, swaths of Foreign Tribe soldiers fell.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun's Demon Cultivator army was advancing rapidly. Though the Corpse Demon numbers in the Foreign Tribe army were large, they were like paper in front of them, unable to stop the Demon Cultivators' attacks.

The Foreign Tribe Leader's brows knit tightly.

He used his Divine Sense to scan the other squads, and the result was the same.

It wasn't only the Demon Cultivator team's combat power; even the wall teams bearing ferocious beasts were unstoppable.

The two squads specifically targeting them were repeatedly pierced by Human Martial Cultivator units with ferocious beasts, scattering their formation and making them no match.

Yet Ye Liuyun's team had only sent out a few thousand, most of whom remained on the wall watching the Foreign Tribe's movements.

Just as the Foreign Tribe Leader's mind was divided, the Demon Cultivator army opposite him had already surged forward.

"So fast!"

He simultaneously ordered Corpse Demons to block while beginning to retreat.

"Damn, we're surrounded!"

Only then did he realize how formidable this team was. Though few in number, they were certainly elite.

But a squad of elite Demon Cultivators had already charged forward; helpless, he had to act.

He intended to hold off the opponent briefly, then report upward immediately.

But as soon as he struck, he suddenly realized his situation was the same as that of the two Tianzun Realm strongmen who had been eliminated.

The frontal assault was feint and real, mainly to draw his attention and True Essence.

Meanwhile, the attacks on the flanks were genuine, and only the first round.

He barely reactivated his True Essence to block the side attacks, but was immediately pierced by two long spears.

The timing of this attack was just right. Even if he mobilizes True Essence again, it's not very sufficient.

So this time, he simply couldn't block it, was struck by two spears, fortunately the wounds weren't deep.

But before he could catch his breath, the frontal attack came again.

A blade of light came slashing straight at him; he had no time to dodge, could only defend again.

But at this moment, his heart turned cold, because again two long spears thrust toward him.

He himself knew he couldn't block it!

"Pfft, pfft!"

The two long spears pierced through his chest, stabbing his heart.

But only then did his True Essence begin to mobilize.

"Whether left or right, it's death; drag two as shields!"

A thought flashed in his mind, and he directed his True Essence at the two demon cultivators holding spears who stabbed him.
