Chapter 567 Trap

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately took action, and the entire border defense line instantly entered the highest level of combat readiness.

Lin Feng continued to stay on the watchtower, paying close attention to the movements of those black figures.

As time went by, those black shadows got closer and closer, and Lin Feng finally saw their appearance clearly - they were actually a group of monsters of different shapes, and they were quietly approaching the border.

"Why do these monsters appear here?" Lin Feng was secretly surprised. He knew the danger of monsters. Once they were allowed to break through the border, the consequences would be disastrous.

According to the orders he received, it should be about ten months before the demonic tide actually invades.

Lin Feng quickly recovered from the shock and realized that now was not the time to think about why the monster arrived early.

Now, the defense must be organized as quickly as possible.

Lin Feng turned around and rushed down the watchtower, shouting loudly as he ran: "Generals of all the battalions, please hurry up and gather at the Chinese army's tent!"

After a while, several generals in armor hurried to the Chinese army's tent. Lin Feng looked at them solemnly and said, "I just saw on the watchtower that a group of monsters were approaching our border. The situation is urgent and we must formulate a defense strategy immediately."

"General, why do these monsters suddenly appear? Our original defense plan was based on the invasion of the demonic wave ten months later. I'm afraid it's too late to adjust now!" a deputy general said worriedly.

Lin Feng frowned, "No matter why they appeared in advance, our first priority now is to guard the border. Let's talk about our thoughts."

Another general thought for a moment and then said: "General, we can use the border fortifications to resist first. The crossbowmen are on standby on the city wall. When the monsters get close, they will fire thousands of arrows to give them a disastrous attack."

Lin Feng nodded, "This is a way, but the monsters are cunning and powerful. It may not be possible to stop them for long with just bows and crossbows. We also need to arrange elite troops to ambush on both sides of the city gate. When the monsters attack the city, we can kill them from the flanks." Come out and disrupt their position."

"General, what about logistical supplies? We need to ensure that the soldiers have enough weapons and food." Another general asked.

"Immediately send people to inspect and replenish the weapons depot to ensure that every soldier has a weapon. In terms of food and grass, notify the supply camp in the rear to be ready for support at any time. In addition, military doctors must be arranged to be on standby in the rear. Once there are soldiers If you are injured, you must receive timely treatment." Lin Feng made arrangements in an orderly manner.

"Yes!" the generals responded in unison.

"Also, send people to nearby villages to inform the villagers to evacuate to safe areas as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties." Lin Feng added.

The generals took the order and left, each busy preparing for defense. Lin Feng climbed onto the watchtower again, paying close attention to the monsters' movements.

At this time, the monsters were getting closer and closer to the border defense line.

They have different shapes, some are like wolves and run very fast; some are like huge spiders, crawling on the ground with eight long legs, making a creepy sound.

"Go down with the order, get the crossbowmen ready!" Lin Feng shouted to the ordering soldier beside him.

As the order was conveyed, the crossbowmen on the city wall quickly took up their positions. They tightened their bowstrings and aimed their arrows at the approaching monster.

When the monster entered the shooting range, Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Fire the arrow!"

In an instant, countless sharp arrows shot at the monster like raindrops. Suddenly there was a scream among the monsters, and some monsters were shot by sharp arrows and fell to the ground.

But more monsters didn't seem to be affected much, and they continued to rush towards the border defense line.

"Second round, let go!" Lin Feng gave the order again.

There was another round of arrow rain, but the monsters seemed to be on guard. Some of them used their huge claws to knock down the arrows, while others relied on their flexible bodies to avoid them.

Seeing the monster getting closer and closer, Lin Feng frowned even more tightly. He knew that a simple rain of arrows could not stop the monster for long, and he had to think of other ways.

"Notify the elite troops ambushing on both sides to prepare to attack!" Lin Feng said to the messenger.

At this moment, a huge monster suddenly rushed out from the group of monsters.

It is shaped like a cow, with huge horns on its head, and its body is covered with a layer of black scales. It ran and the ground shook.

"This monster doesn't look simple, we must find a way to stop it!" Lin Feng thought to himself.

He quickly got down from the watchtower, mounted his horse, and ran towards the city gate. He must personally take command and must block the attack of this wave of monsters.

When Lin Feng rushed to the city gate, the huge monster had already arrived under the city wall.

It hit the city gate with its huge horns, making a dull sound. The city gate shook violently under its impact, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Prepare the catapult!" Lin Feng shouted loudly.

The soldiers quickly operated the catapults and threw huge stones at the monster.

The stone hit the monster and splashed with sparks, but the monster only shook its body and did not suffer much damage.

"Damn! This monster's defense is so strong!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth.

At this moment, the elite troops ambushing on both sides rushed out like tigers. They held sharp blades and rushed towards the monster group with loud shouts of killing.

The monsters were disrupted by this sudden attack and began to panic.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng immediately led the soldiers at the city gate to open the city gate, rushed out, and attacked the monster together with the elite troops.

The battlefield was suddenly filled with swords and sabers, shouts and screams.

In the fierce battle, Lin Feng found that the giant monster was powerful but its movements were a little slow.

He thought that he might be able to use this to deal with it.

"Everyone listen to my command and concentrate on attacking the giant monster's legs!" Lin Feng shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers attacked the giant monster's legs. For a moment, countless swords chopped at the monster's legs.

The monster was in pain and kept roaring, wanting to fight back, but because of the leg injury, it was even more inconvenient to move.

After a hard fight, the giant monster finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

When the other monsters saw their leader fall, their morale dropped. The soldiers took this opportunity to fight bravely, and the monsters began to retreat.

Seeing the monsters gradually retreat, Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he knew that this was only a temporary victory. The threat of the demon shadow still existed. They had to be more fully prepared to meet the more violent attacks that might come next.

"Clean up the battlefield, check the casualties of the soldiers, and repair the damaged fortifications. In addition, strengthen patrols to prevent the monsters from attacking again." Lin Feng said to the soldiers around him.

The soldiers quickly took the order and dispersed, and began to carry out Lin Feng's instructions in an orderly manner.

The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood. The wounded soldiers were supported by their companions. The military doctors were busy in the temporary tents, providing emergency treatment for the wounded.

Lin Feng rode on a warhorse and slowly patrolled the battlefield to check the casualties of the soldiers and the damage to the fortifications.

He was in a very heavy mood. Although he successfully repelled the monsters this time, the price he paid was not small.

Many young soldiers fell on this land, and their blood dyed the soil of the border red.

"General, there are more than 300 casualties this time, more than 50 of them are seriously injured, the weapons are also seriously damaged, and the city gate is severely damaged. It may take several days to repair it." A soldier in charge of statistics came to report to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, "I know, let the logistics department allocate resources as soon as possible, give priority to repairing the city gate, and be sure to strengthen the defense. The seriously injured must be treated with all efforts, and no brother can be abandoned!"

"Yes!" The soldier saluted and hurried away.

At the same time, Wang Batian was planning a bigger conspiracy in his secret base - secretly destroying the Absolute Spirit Array.

He knew the importance of the Absolute Spirit Array to resist the demon tide, but driven by greed and ambition, he chose to collude with the demon shadow without hesitation, trying to realize his dream of dominating the martial arts world by destroying the Absolute Spirit Array.

"Although the Absolute Spirit Array is strong, it is not impeccable. As long as we find its weakness, we can destroy it in one fell swoop."

Wang Batian said to several trusted men beside him, with a crazy light in his eyes.

Check out the correct version in 16-9-1 book-1 forum!

"Master, there must be heavy guards around the Absolute Spirit Array. How can we approach and destroy it?" A subordinate asked cautiously.

Wang Batian sneered, "Humph, how difficult is this? I have found out that the energy core of the Absolute Spirit Array is located at the center of the array. As long as the center of the array is destroyed, the Absolute Spirit Array will naturally collapse. The guards of the center of the array are relatively weak, and we can sneak in at night."

"But Master, if we are discovered, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to escape." Another subordinate said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of! Lord Moying has promised to help secretly. With them, even if we are discovered, we have a way out." Wang Batian said confidently.

So, Wang Batian and his trusted subordinates began to carefully plan this sabotage operation.

They prepared various special tools to crack the defense mechanism of the Absolute Spirit Array, and also formulated a detailed route of action and retreat plan.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent. Wang Batian led his men and sneaked towards the direction of the Absolute Spirit Array like a ghost. Along the way, they carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers and successfully came to the vicinity of the Absolute Spirit Array.

"This is it, everyone be careful, don't make any noise." Wang Batian whispered.

Everyone quietly approached the center of the array, only to see a soft light emitting from the center of the array, and some simple protective devices around it.

Wang Batian signaled his men to come forward to crack the mechanism, while he watched the movements around him vigilantly.

After some effort, his men successfully cracked the protective device, revealing the core part of the array.

A flash of excitement flashed in Wang Batian's eyes, and he couldn't wait to walk forward and prepare to destroy the center of the array.

However, just as he was about to do it, a loud shout suddenly came: "Who! How dare you trespass into the Absolute Spirit Array!"

Wang Batian was shocked, he didn't expect to be discovered here. It turned out that a team of patrolling soldiers heard the movement here and rushed over quickly.

"No, we've been discovered! Hurry up!" Wang Batian shouted, and at the same time drew out the long knife at his waist and chopped towards the center of the array.

His men also drew their weapons and started a fierce battle with the soldiers who came.

For a moment, there were flashes of swords and shouts of killing.

Although Wang Batian's men were all highly skilled in martial arts, the patrolling soldiers were not afraid. They fought desperately and tried to stop Wang Batian from destroying the center of the formation.

In the battle, Wang Batian finally cut the center of the formation.

There was a roar, and the Absolute Spirit Formation began to shake violently, and the light became flickering.

"Success! Let's go!" Wang Batian shouted excitedly.

Just as they were about to retreat, suddenly, a strange light appeared in the sky.

In the light, an old man in a Taoist robe slowly fell. The old man's face was solemn, and his eyes revealed a sense of majesty.

"Wang Batian, you dare to destroy the Absolute Spirit Formation, today is your death day!" The old man shouted loudly.

Wang Batian's heart trembled. He recognized that the old man was one of the elders of the Wei royal family, and his strength was unfathomable.

Wang Batian pretended to be calm and shouted at the old man: "Old thing, don't scare me here! Lord Moying's power is unmatched. Do you think you can stop me by yourself?"

The old man snorted coldly, "Moying? It's just a group of evil people who want to cause chaos in the world! You colluded with them and committed such a heinous crime. Today is your retribution!"

Before the voice fell, the old man's long sword made a few sword flowers and stabbed at Wang Batian like lightning. Wang Batian quickly waved his sword to resist, and the swords and swords intersected, sparks flew everywhere.

Wang Batian only felt a huge force coming along his arm, which made his palm numb and the long sword in his hand almost slip out of his hand.

Seeing this, Wang Batian's men surrounded him and tried to attack the old man from all directions to rescue their leader.

The old man was not afraid at all. He shuttled freely among the crowd, waving his long sword. Every move accurately resolved the enemy's attack, and he fought back from time to time, causing Wang Batian's men to be injured.

Wang Batian saw that the situation was critical and his men could not resist the old man's attack. Despair and madness surged in his heart.

At this critical moment of life and death, he suddenly remembered an evil power that the demon shadow had given him - swallowing the demon energy and becoming a demon. Although he knew that this method was extremely dangerous and he would lose his mind if he was not careful, he had no choice at this moment.

Wang Batian suddenly looked up to the sky and howled, and the breath around him was instantly disordered.

He opened his arms and madly absorbed the demon energy around him.

The demonic energy that was originally wandering on the battlefield, as if summoned by some mysterious power, gathered towards Wang Batian.

As the demonic energy continued to flow in, Wang Batian's body began to undergo strange changes.

His skin became as black as ink, and his blood vessels wriggled under his skin like twisted earthworms, flashing a dark red light.

His eyes also changed from black to blood red, revealing endless ferocity and madness.

Two sharp black horns grew on his head, showing his current state of being possessed by demons.

"Old man, today is the day you die!" After being possessed by demons, Wang Batian's voice became hoarse and low, as if it came from the abyss of hell.

The long sword in his hand was also wrapped in demonic energy, exuding a chilling breath. (End of this chapter)
