The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.
“Chairman, everything is prepared,” the temple head of the Knight Temple, Yang Haohan, stood on the top of the walls of the mountain pass and said to Long Haochen.
Long Haochen nodded, “Good.”
Long Tianyin who had made his way up to the top of the wall with Yang Haohan said rather strangely, “There’s still no activity from the Demon God Emperor’s side. Has he still not received the news? We’ve already received the news on our side.”
Long Haochen smiled, “There’s nothing strange about that. It’s all because of Yue Ye’s organisation. Grandfather, has the battle reports of the Myriad Beasts Mountain pass arrived?”
Long Tianyin’s face immediately became filled with joy, “It’s arrived. Marbas and Valefor basically used the same tactic against the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass as Samigina. They sent in other clans as cannon fodder, before launching a combined attack of Hell Demons and Bear Demons directly under their command. Due to the Hell Demon Clan, the Bear Demon Clan and the command of the two great demon gods, the other demon gods under their control are weaker compared to Samigina. It’s unlucky for them to come across Chen Hongyu that old fox.”
“Chen Yuhong that old fox knows how to act just too well. When Marbas and Valefor launched their attack, he only used the original force that the Spiritual Temple possessed to stop them. With the many powerhouses of the Spiritual Temple and the careful preparation in response to the accurate information, they did not lose the upper hand at all. They blocked three waves of attacks without showing the slightest signs of weakening. Marbas and Valefor became rather impatient, so they sent the demon gods into the battlefield. And, they were much more vicious that Samigina, sending in six demon gods at the same time. The pressure on the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass immediately increased drastically with that and it became a tough battle. Chen Hongyu began using the troops sent over from the other five temples. Every time he used them, they would bring substantial benefit. They were used to their greatest use. Coupled with how the Spiritual Temple’s hidden strength is greater than the Warrior Temple’s, they managed to last a day and night.”
“Marbas and Valefor became rathe frantic. They both knew Samigina was launching a crazy attack on his side and his battle seemed to be coming to an end, so they finally sent out the strongest combination, the Bear Demons and Hell Demons, to attack the fort.”
Long Tianyin could not help but sigh in admiration there, “Haochen, the lady Yue Ye you speak of really is outstanding! I really wonder what their organisation does. Marbas and Valefor had not received information of Samigina’s death, so they still thought he was in a stalemate on his side and close to breaking through. Was it possible for them to not become hurried? All of them treated our union as a juicy chunk of meat and all of them wanted the first bite. With their urgency, problems obviously appeared, while the successful defence of the Myriad Beasts Mountain pass earlier gave us sufficient time. Cai’er and the twelve Eternal Heroes finally arrived at the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass and united with the powerhouses of the Spiritual Temple. Meanwhile, the Eternal Heroes sent to the Spiritual Temple had not fought earlier at all, remaining hidden away. At the same time, after confirming there would be no demons attacking the Southern Mountain Pass, the Priest Temple sent over reinforcements as well. While it was too late to send regular troops, they did ask their nine Eternal Heroes to help out at the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. That amounted to thirty Eternal Heroes! That’s thirty domain wielding powerhouses.”
“When they appeared on the battlefield, they immediately turned the tides. Chen Hongyu that old fox sure knows how to bide his time! Coming under danger several times before, he prevent any of his Eternal Heroes from taking action, lasting until the most critical moment before erupting all together, taking Marbas and Valefor by surprise. After that, they engaged in a full scale battle.”
“What made Chen Hongyu even more crafty was that the old fox pulled out a terrifying magic scroll from who knew where. The magic scroll had been passed down by the predecessors of the Spiritual Temple. It was a terrifying summoning spell that opened something called a Hell’s Gate. From the Hell’s Gate, a total of three thousand Hellhounds of the eighth step emerged and lasted for two hours before vanishing…”
“Three thousand eighth step Hellhouands?” Long Haochen gasped. Yang Haohan was shocked as well. After all, out of the troops that the Demon God Emperor had brought with him, there was only a little more than a thousand eighth step powerhouses! What kind of sight was three thousand eighth step Hellhounds? Their destructive capabilities would be so terrifying that they could probably match the thirty light magical traps. And to make matters worse, they were flexible, able to adjust to any situation as well.
Long Tianyin said in a touchy manner, “Exactly, right? Chen Hongyu’s just too sly. If he gave the scroll to use, then hehe, the Demon God Emperor would probably be in for a beating.”
Yang Haohan chuckled, “We can’t blame him. After all, the union’s just been established. Protecting his own temple is obviously most important to him. If it was us, maybe we wouldn’t have handed it up either. With three thousand Hellhounds, Marbas and Valefor were probably in trouble.”
Long Tianyin nodded, “The destructiveness of the three thousand Hellhounds was just too terrifying. Even the Bear Demons were unable to stop them with their defence. They directly created a huge gaping hole among the Bear Demons and Hell Demons before engaging in a full scale battle. In order to protect their own forces, Marbas and Valefor mobilised the entire army to attack the mountain pass. All of the demon gods with them fought as well. The battle took another day and night before victory was determined.”
Reaching there, his gaze could not help but dim slightly, “Out of the thirty Eternal Heroes, nine fell in that battle. One of the mages blew himself up to heavily injure Marbas after having undergone the demon god transformation. Although Valefor managed to retreat unscathed, his army suffered heavy losses. The demons lost five demon gods in that battle. The Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass did not fall, while the demons lost close to four hundred thousand troops. When they retreated, they were a defeated army. Out of the four hundred thousand slain, at least half of them died to the supra forbidden spell Hell’s Gate. The destructiveness of the three thousand Hellhounds was just too terrifying!”
Although he did not witness it with his own eyes, Long Haochen could sense the brutality of the battle from Long Tianyin’s narration. Whether it was the Southeastern Fort or the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass, the two important battles could be described as meat mincers. In just a few short days, both sides had lost over five hundred thousand lives.
While Marbas and Valefor retreated, they were still alive. However, their losses were on par to Samigina’s side. Five demon gods had died and even though their demon god pillars remained, the demon gods would not be able to fight again. Most importantly, they had actually lost four fifths of their elite army of five hundred thousand. It was even greater than the losses on Samigina’s side. They were completely incapacitated now.
