Chapter 1404: Retreat

Looking at the corpse on the ground, already burned into a pile of charcoal, a chill of horror rose in the hearts of these Demon Clan soldiers.

We cannot continue like this, or we will surely be wiped out this time.

One Demon Clan soldier shouted in terror.

He was the oldest among this group of Demon Clan soldiers, also an experienced Demon Clan warrior.

He had personally experienced the ferocity of those living dead before and knew that if they continued to be chased by these living dead, this group of Demon Clan soldiers would completely lose this battle.

So, after seeing this scene, he immediately thought of a way to retreat.

"Everyone, pick up your shields and block the rain of arrows from those damn bastards; the rest, grip your long-handled weapons, form up, hold off those damn bastards while retreating backward."

Hearing the words of this Demon Clan warrior, the other Demon Clan soldiers immediately sprang into action.

This time, the Demon Clan warriors did not choose to clash head-on again but adopted a dodging tactic.

Indeed, under the tactical arrangement, in less than a moment, the Demon Clan army began to form a defensive line and started retreating toward the outskirts of the city.

Seeing this, the Killing God Lord and the soldiers standing on the city wall did not stop the Demon Clan army's movement.

In their view, it was enough to let the Demon Clan army retreat.

After all, only if these Demon Clan armies left the city could they guarantee the safety of their own side.

With the retreat of the Demon Clan army, those living dead also followed the footsteps of the Demon Clan army and departed.

After all, these living dead have no thoughts; everything they do is driven by their own instincts.

Seeing the living dead leave, the Killing God Lord could not help but take a long sigh of relief; he had just been worried, and if these living dead had not followed the Demon Clan army, he really would not have known what to do.

After all, if these living dead remained near the Dark City, to some extent, they would be a considerable trouble for the Dark City.

At this moment, the Demon God was still fighting these living dead.

The more strength he exerted, the fewer attacks from the living dead his soldiers would suffer.

Although the Demon God could unleash large-scale techniques, among these living dead, there were still his own soldiers; if he did so, he might very well injure his own soldiers.

Therefore, the Demon God did not use his full strength to cast techniques but tried his best to protect his soldiers and prevent the losses of his soldiers from growing larger.

But precisely this added a considerable burden to him.

"Damn it, these guys are completely inexhaustible; damn it, how can this stuff be so disgusting!?" the Demon God cursed angrily.

Although these living dead numbered only a few thousand, the trouble brought by these few thousand living dead was truly not small.

His soldiers were killed again and again.

But those living dead were like indestructible monsters, impossible to kill off completely.

Not only that, they would also surge forth endlessly from all directions; once there was even the slightest slip, they would appear before him.

Fortunately, although they possessed formidable offensive power, their speed was not fast, and they could not heal their wounds.

Therefore, he only needed to hold out for a while to eliminate all these living dead.

But continuing like this was ultimately not a long-term solution.

He must quickly come up with a good plan; otherwise, if things continued like this, the soldiers on his side would be in danger, and there was even a possibility they would all be lost here.

Thinking of this, the Demon God's eyes suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I've got it!

Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and began issuing orders: "Pass on my command: immediately contract the defensive circle, have all Demon Clan soldiers retreat to our side, and let the living dead enter our side."

Hearing the Demon God's words, the crowd of Demon Clan soldiers below could not help but be stunned, and their expressions immediately changed drastically.

They did not expect that the Demon God would make such a decision.

Did he not fear the losses of the soldiers on his own side?

However, although confused, they immediately acted according to the order.

After all, once the order was issued, they only needed to follow it; as for why the Demon God issued such an order, they did not need to know the reason.

Quickly, the formation of the Demon Clan soldiers immediately began to change.

Behind them, a huge batch of living dead was surging forward crazily.

Seeing this scene, the Demon Clan soldiers could not help but tremble slightly in their hearts.

But they had no way out; they could only fight with all their might to resist the attack of these living dead.

Following this, countless living dead gathered in greater and greater numbers.

They rushed forward recklessly, wanting to tear the Demon Clan soldiers apart.

But the Demon Clan soldiers resisted with their lives.

Both sides engaged in a life-and-death struggle on the outskirts of the city.

But at this moment, the Demon God began to make his move.
