Chapter 1038 Insider
The Demon Locking Tower was hit by Luo Feng and tilted five degrees. The sword pillars were completely destroyed and there was no foundation to support it anymore, so it slowly collapsed along the tilted direction.
Not to mention the chaos among the registered heroes in the advanced camp in the tower, there are also tens of thousands of League of Heroes members stationed outside the tower. As a reserve force, these people will be divided into different combat waves and take turns entering the tower to fight in turns. This way, you can train your troops while reducing the number of monsters in the tower.
The sleeping heroes in the camp heard the rumbling noise and felt the tremor of the earth. They woke up and ran out of the tent one after another.
Under the moonlight, they stared in astonishment at the towering tower slowly falling. They couldn't believe their eyes and thought they had a nightmare.
According to the countermeasures formulated in the emergency plan, if something happens to the Demon Locking Tower, the disciples of the Shushan Sect should form the Tiangang Sword Formation immediately, and the monks of the Moko Temple should form the Earthly Demon Stick Formation to do all they can to stop the fleeing demons.
This huge tower did not collapse vertically, but collapsed horizontally, smashing to the side like a huge pillar.
There were two teams in that direction. Seventy-two Shushan disciples were responsible for the defense. They also formed two groups of Tiangang Sword Formations in time. However, the sword formations were used to deal with demons, but they could not be used to deal with the falling bricks. The stone was slapped in the face by white jade diamonds scattered like clouds. More than half of the seventy-two Shushan disciples were damaged. Before they could fight the demons, both sets of sword formations were incomplete.
A beautiful green-faced female ghost led the flying demons to rush left and right, and soon broke through the two incomplete sword formations, opening a gap in the encirclement net.
With their strong bones and tenacious vitality, many demons survived the collapse. Seeing the unparalleled power of the green-faced female ghost, the group of demons intuitively followed her and charged into the battle. They repeatedly expanded the breach and finally tore apart the Shushan disciples and Mo. The defense line formed by the monks of Ke Temple followed the female ghost all the way, fighting a bloody path and escaping without a trace.
As for why Dugu Yuyun failed to show up in time to turn the tide, it was because when the Demon Locking Tower collapsed, he was in the tower, in the advance camp on the first level, and was being hit by bricks and stones so dizzy that he had no time to care for himself.
The flying demons and powerful demons broke out of the siege first, followed closely by the other demons. By the time the human warriors reacted and mobilized their forces to seal the gap in the defense line, most of the demons had already escaped, leaving only the old and weak in the encirclement. Sick and disabled.
But even a weak demon, driven by the desire to survive and hundreds of years of repression, has exploded with amazing fighting power.
In contrast, the morale of the human warriors fighting them was very problematic. They had just experienced a huge psychological gap. They thought that after establishing the forward camp, they would be sure of victory and the battle situation would stabilize. They only needed to take turns to fight every few days and enter the tower. Just kill the monsters on the chopping board like a hunt.
As a result, the Demon Locking Tower suddenly collapsed, the demons swarmed out, and a head-to-head super-large-scale war suddenly broke out. The human heroes were not mentally prepared.
Fortunately, after the green-faced female ghost escaped, the demons had no one to direct them, and there was no way to fight. They could only attack and bite randomly based on instinct.
However, the human race has formulated a strict emergency plan. The Shushan Sect's Tiangang Sword Formation and the Moko Temple's Disha Stick Formation have made great achievements, stabilizing the human race's encirclement and preventing a defeat. They exchanged blood for blood and lives for lives. After a huge sacrifice, the remaining demons in the siege were extinguished and their final counterattack was put out.
…
The fighting lasted all night, and in the mist of the mountains on the horizon, a red sun rose slowly. The golden glow broke through the haze, and the longest day finally ushered in the dawn.
The top of Shushan Mountain was filled with rubble and broken walls. Dust drifted in the morning wind. The corpses of demons and human warriors were scattered among the ruins. Broken weapons were scattered everywhere.
In the past, when the morning bells were ringing, the scene of Shushan disciples reciting Taoist scriptures loudly and doing morning lessons did not appear. In the halls of Shushan, there were all those with injuries and blood on their bodies, their heads were gray, their spirits were sleepy and dispirited, and they were stumbling like zombies. A capable warrior.
Jing Xiaolou's head was covered with a bleeding bandage, and the golden armor he was wearing was in tatters and gray, as if it had just been picked out of the trash.
He sat there with his mouth half open and his eyes dull, his eyes unfocused, as if his soul had been lost.
Dugu Yuyun came from a distance, his face was ashen, and he pursed his lips tightly. The Taoist robe on his body could no longer see its true color. It was smeared with various layers of demon blood in various colors. The demon blood on the Zhenwu sword in his hand Before it dried up, it trickled down drop by drop and fell into the dust.
"Leader Jing, the casualty statistics have come out. In this battle, 3,261 people were killed, 5,356 were injured, and more than 38,700 demons were killed... A rough estimate is that they escaped. There are more than 50,000 monsters, and our army is unable to pursue them. In fact, it is fortunate that the group of monsters lacked command and control, so they did not turn around and come back, otherwise, the human warriors would have been annihilated."
Dugu Yuyun reported the military situation to the nominal commander-in-chief of the "Human Alliance" in a hoarse voice, but in fact he was filled with great anger in his heart, full of resentment towards this second-generation fairy who had high vision but low power, and was an armchair strategist.
"Why?"
Jing Xiaolou murmured: "Why is this happening? It's so good, why did the Demon Locking Tower collapse?"
He stood up suddenly, rushed to Dugu Yuyun, widened his bloodshot eyes, and asked: "This tower was rebuilt by your Shushan sect. Did you cut corners on the project, withhold building materials, and receive kickbacks? Could it be that you took off the diamond white jade wall tiles and sold them for money?"
When Dugu Yuyun heard this, he was so angry that he almost stabbed him with a sword. He gritted his teeth and said: "Jing Xiaolou, for the sake of Mr. Jing, I forgive you for slandering me! The Shushan sect strengthened the Demon Locking Tower and used the bottom of the box. The base of the pagoda is a seven-star sword array given by heaven, and the person guarding the pagoda is the righteous god canonized by heaven. If you dare to talk nonsense again, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson for your father!"
Jing Xiaolou hugged his head, squatted on the ground, shook his head and said, "It doesn't make sense! How could it collapse? It was because he learned that the Demon Locking Tower was as solid as Mount Tai after being reinforced, that he formulated a plan to sweep the Demon Locking Tower. Plan, don’t worry that frequent battles will damage the pagoda’s architectural structure.”
"Unless...there is a mole among us!"
Dugu Yuyun lowered his face and said slowly: "Fortresses are breached from the inside. This matter must be related to Luo Feng, the lecherous Zen master who went deep into the Demon Locking Tower alone! Maybe he was the one who destroyed the base of the tower. The sword formation instigated this catastrophe for the human race."
Jing Xiaolou shook his head repeatedly and said, "Your Shushan sect also sent Jiu Jianxian and Li Xiaoyao into the tower. Couldn't it be their fault?"
Dugu Yuyun said with great confidence: "My junior brother occasionally drinks and gets into trouble, but he is extremely reliable in matters of right and wrong, and his nature is kind and honest. How could he destroy the Demon Locking Tower to harm others?"
