Chapter 1494: The First Battle (6)
Rather than saying that the demons were fighting for Shen Yanxiao, it would be more accurate to say that they were fighting for their own survival.
The four countries attacking the Forsaken Land indicated that the demons would be deprived of their last living space in the Brilliance Continent.
If Shen Yanxiao won, then the demons would live. If Shen Yanxiao lost, then the demons on the Brilliance Continent would also face destruction!
Enchantress could not retreat. She had to utilize the defenses of Del City to the extreme. She had to exchange the same number of siege weapons with these seventy plus cannons. Otherwise, she would not be able to face her own kind and Shen Yanxiao.
Enchantress looked at Du Lang in surprise and revealed a bitter smile.
“You didn’t have to come.”
Del City was a city that Enchantress was responsible for. Du Lang’s mission was to guard Sun Never Sets, but he had followed her here.
“I just want to say that if we can survive this war, Enchantress, are you willing to marry me?” Du Lang looked at Enchantress with a smile. At that moment, the mercenary revealed his inner thoughts.
Enchantress was momentarily stunned. Soon after, she smiled and said, “If you are not afraid of being ridiculed by your own kind, I will marry you.”
Du Lang did not say anything else and merely held Enchantress’s hand tightly.
The defenses of Del City had been wantonly destroyed, and the attacking power of the siege weapons was shocking. Artillery was destroyed one after another, and none of the demons responsible for the cannons could escape. They had persevered until the destruction of the fort. The second before they were pierced by countless magic and arrows, they still stuck to their responsibilities, loaded shells, and fired!
Even though they were the lowest-ranked demons, they had a certain degree of instinct.
Other than obeying the orders of the advanced-ranked demons, they seemed to know that if they were to retreat at this very moment, their own kind would be massacred in the future!
Therefore, they could not retreat nor did they dare to!
In the blink of an eye, less than half of the seventy plus cannons on the walls of Del City had been destroyed and a huge gap had been created.
Under the cover of the siege weapons, the armies of the four countries swarmed toward the gap in Del City like a flood.
The earth quaked and the mountains shook. Roars and hooves struck Enchantress’ heart.
“All demons, launch the final attack. Enter the tunnel in five minutes.” Enchantress closed her eyes. The city walls had been breached and they could no longer continue their attack. Once the armies of the four countries flooded into Del City, they would not be able to survive.
The demons carried out their last-minute work. One minute before the allied forces of the four countries stepped into Del City, they reluctantly withdrew from the city walls and snuck into the underground city under Enchantress’ lead.
Before they left, Enchantress set fire to all the cannons and shells. She even set a raging fire in Del City. Enchantress felt her heart heavy when she saw the familiar city being engulfed in flames.
They would rather ruin everything than leave anything for the four-nation alliance!
“I will definitely come back.” Enchantress looked at those destroyed cannons. Her subordinates had died without a burial ground there, and she did not even have the time to collect their corpses.
“We will definitely win. I will come back with you.” Du Lang pulled Enchantress and entered the underground city.
After they entered the underground city, Enchantress decisively pressed down the mechanism. In an instant, the connection between the underground city and Del City was blocked by a huge rock. The surrounding boiling molten iron flowed into it and the passage was completely sealed!
