Chapter 702 - 702 I, Lin Qiye, Am the Demon's Archenemy
702 I, Lin Qiye, Am the Demon’s Archenemy
“I have failed my duty by not being able to cast the most unforgettable shadow on the demons.”
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed, and he sat on a tall building as he spread his divine sense, monitoring everything in the north.
Just as he was investigating, several groups of demon scouts came prodding, and the frequency of their investigations was getting higher.
It was obvious that the demon army was already getting restless, and they could start the next wave of attack at any time.
In addition to the demons’ movements, Lin Qiye also noticed some unusual movements in Ocean City.
The soldiers of the southwest defensive line were constantly transporting supplies, and there were even flying warships leaving from time to time.
At such a critical juncture, the flying warships did not stay behind to defend but instead took the risk to leave. There was clearly something wrong.
Lin Qiye asked Captain Zhou about the situation and realized that the military and the local forces in Ocean City were unaware.
Lin Qiye could not get too involved, so he quietly left his divine sense on them.
If nothing happened, good.
If they were to do anything, Lin Qiye would definitely make them regret it.
He wanted them to experience what cruelty was.
Time passed by, and the dark clouds of war loomed over Ocean City.
The atmosphere was tense.
However, under the protection of powerful cultivators, most residents fell asleep peacefully.
On the other hand, the soldiers guarding the major defense lines were tense and did not dare to relax their vigilance.
“Cheer up! The demons may attack at any time. We can’t let a single one in!”
“Behind us are our parents, our beloved wives, and our children. We can’t let our loved ones be exposed to the demons!”
“Absolutely… Impossible!”
“Right!”
“I won’t let a single demon in!”
The shouts from the eastern defense line shook the sky, waking some nearby residents from their dreams.
On the other hand, Lin Qiye’s side was cold and quiet. Not even the chirping of insects and birds could be heard.
It was as if the world had lost its sound.
The southwest defensive line was just as silent.
The command post, which should have been brightly lit, only had a few lights left.
The residents who lived nearby noticed that the area along the city wall was much quieter than usual in the evening.
However, no one paid attention to it. After all, that place was heavily guarded, and ordinary people did not dare to go close.
Time slowly passed, and the bright moon gradually began to dissipate.
An officer looked at the time and saw that it was already 2:30 in the morning.
The high-level personnel guarding the eastern defense line command center were all staring at the big screen, paying attention to the situation outside the city.
“This is torture! I haven’t slept for a week! When are those b*tards coming over? Let’s fight for once!”
Some officers cursed under their breath. To guard against a sudden attack from a high-rank commander-level demon, they had been in a daze since they received the news about the demon invasion.
If they continued, they would vomit blood!
Of course, there were also officers exceptionally calm.
“Don’t say that. I hope they will never attack us. Even Ocean City will not recover from the price of such a brutal war. We will suffer great losses in one war.”
Someone sighed.
“Alright, you guys should rest for a while. Now that Mr. Lin is guarding the northern, we don’t have much pressure.”
“Good. I’ll leave this place to you then.”
A few cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm who had been guarding the monitoring room for several days and nights without sleeping laughed and got up.
They had also heard about Lin Qiye.
Regarding this, they relaxed a little.
Just as the two were changing shifts, an image on the surveillance screen suddenly attracted one person.
“Wait, look! What’s that?”
Everyone’s attention was drawn over, and they all turned to look at the image pointed at.
“What?”
The person in charge of the surveillance equipment frowned and ordered.
“Activate the energy detector immediately. Surveillance point 67 in the southeast. Hurry up! Hurry up! Zoom in to the clearest possible!”
“Yes! I only need one second.”
Instantly, the monitoring screen was enlarged, and a three-dimensional energy scan image quickly replaced the real-time picture.
“It’s the energy fluctuations emitted by the demons!”
Looking at the red dots on the screen, many people’s hearts tightened.
However, the few in charge of monitoring these few days were not surprised.
“Don’t be nervous. It’s probably another demon scout. They’ve been coming quite frequently in the past two days. We can see them several times in an hour.”
Hearing this, the people who had just arrived could not help but sigh in relief.
However, a new scene quickly appeared, causing everyone’s hearts to almost jump out of their throats.
“Are there that many demon scouts?”
One person pointed at the densely packed red dots on the screen that were still growing, and his body began to tremble.
“Damn. This energy fluctuation is so strong and dense. It has just appeared, and it’s already so violent. Was this an army? And it’s the fiercest demon army!”
“Sh*t! It was an invasion! It’s a demon invasion!”
“Quick, sound the alarm! Sound the highest level of alarm to alert the powerhouses!”
In the blink of an eye, the entire surveillance room was covered in red light.
Switching back to the real-time scene, all they could see was a sea of red, and all the monitoring stations were drowned by demons.
The group hurriedly sent out the news. The alarm blaring instantly made all the sleepy soldiers’ hair stand on end.
“Hurry up! Prepare for battle!”
“Cannoneers, get into position. The battleships in the echelon are to take off immediately. Hurry up!”
The entire eastern defense line was quickly in place. The lights were brightly lit, and the noisy sounds of action woke up all the residents along the line from their sleep.
Even the northern battlefront, where Lin Qiye was, was affected. Many residents got up and went out to check on the situation.
Surprisingly, the southwest defensive line, which had the most manpower, was rather quiet.
Even the residents who had woken up made a noise that far exceeded the defense line along the way.
“What’s going on?”
“It seems that the demons have started to invade. My uncle is in the city defense army. He just sent a message and told us not to go out.”
“Again? Didn’t they just come here a month ago? Have these demons gone crazy?”
“Go to sleep. Ocean City’s defensive power is much stronger than those small cities.”
“You’re right. Ocean City isn’t an ordinary town.”
Most citizens were not particularly worried about the invasion.
Ocean City had been attacked by demons many times, but none had caused any major trouble.
Even the outermost defensive line had not fallen once.
They had faith in the experts in their own cities.
Of course, the ordinary citizens were following their usual train of thought. They only knew about the demon invasion but didn’t know how many were coming, let alone the commander’s strength.
Most people just got up to watch the fun and then turned back to their sweet dreams.
At the top of the eastern defensive wall, Captain Zhou and the rest of the military looked at the dark horizon gravely.
Vaguely, pairs of scarlet and fanatical eyes were cast in the night. Those eyes were particularly fierce and sinister as if they were the strangest existences in the world. It made people’s scalps go numb.
Groups of red gazes piled together like a huge monster of the nemesis.
As far as the eye could see, the entire horizon was occupied by the demons.
“They… It’s finally here!”
“Phew… Are you ready to fight to the death? Brothers.”
“I’m ready for the continuation of the human race!”
“For the city we protect, we will fight to the death!”
“Fight to the death and not retreat!”
“Then kill them. Brothers, if I die in battle, please help my wife, children, and family. Thank you, guys…”
