Chapter 353: Chapter 212: Sneak Attack on the City! (Five-in-one, 10/10)_5
With that in mind, they immediately used the Teleportation Array inside their Demon King’s City to teleport part of their army into the city itself.
It was just a kilometer from the Demon King’s City to the rear fortress—much closer than the five-kilometer route Chen Mo had taken.
「At the rear of the Demon King’s City...」
Chen Mo, who was causing considerable destruction and slaughter, wasn’t concerned about the Demon King’s Army’s reaction.
He was on a killing spree.
As soon as any living demonic beasts appeared, his Skeleton Monsters would immediately strike them down, and in their place, undead demonic beasts would rise. As a result, the Skeleton Monsters hardly needed to act. The undead demonic beasts turned on the remaining living ones, and soon, most of the demonic beasts at the rear of the Demon King’s City had become undead demonic beasts through this infighting.
After breaking through the city gates and converting the defensive demonic beasts there, Chen Mo, with his great army, immediately advanced towards the Demon King’s City.
He didn’t care about tactical surprises; as long as he could flatten and steamroll his enemies, he wouldn’t waste time with unnecessary talk.
As he led his two million-strong Skeleton Army and hordes of undead demonic beasts towards the Demon King’s City, the Human Army at the front had already charged to the fortress directly before the Demon King’s City—a location that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Because the fortress had an incredibly narrow entrance, the forces the army could bring to bear on the front lines were quite limited. Even with a brave charge, breaking the fortress wouldn’t be easy.
In front of the fortress, siege engines like catapults and battering rams were already being set up.
This time, humanity displayed a resolve to secure victory at any cost, with everyone launching ferocious attacks. This overpowering momentum struck fear deep into the hearts of the demonic beasts. It was the first time they realized that humans, when frenzied, could be far more terrifying than them.
These humans rushed forward fearlessly, one after another, aiming to climb the fortress by forming a human pyramid to launch their attack. The coordinated actions of these humans under a unified command were terrifying enough to instill deep unease within the Demon King’s Army.
Even without the ability to fly and with their siege ladders destroyed, the humans could still form a human staircase to the fortress’s heights using only their bodies.
In short order, at the cost of numerous human soldiers’ lives, a ramp made of human bodies formed, making it easy to climb the fortress before the Demon King’s City.
Even though Chen Mo was quite far away, the sounds of tens of millions of units in combat still reached him clearly.
So this is what a battlefield feels like?
Chen Mo had participated in defending against a beast swarm before. He was on the defending side then and had experienced the terror of a beast swarm. However, even though he had launched his own proactive attacks during that time, he hadn’t truly grasped the terrifying power that came with overwhelming numbers.
This time, even without seeing it firsthand, he could sense the state of the battlefield ahead from the sounds of intense combat that traveled a great distance.
No wonder it’s said that war numbs one to pain. In such a frenzied environment, it was truly difficult to focus on anything other than slaughtering the enemy.
Witnessing the intense fighting at the front, Chen Mo, at the rear, certainly didn’t want to seem like he was slacking. He also quickened his pace, leading his two million Skeleton Monsters and tens of thousands of undead demonic beasts in a charge towards the Demon King’s City.
However, since all his units were in an invisible state, even a charge by millions would produce no sound or discernible movement.
Just as Chen Mo led his large army into a charge, he suddenly saw a massive army marching in his direction. He sensed it was an army several hundred thousand strong—a very large force indeed. Moreover, it contained many Elite-level and BOSS-grade demonic beasts. Winning against such a formidable combination of forces would be extremely difficult.
But Chen Mo’s army was even more outrageous. This was an invisible, million-strong army—practically invincible and utterly unfair.
As the several-hundred-thousand-strong Demon King’s Army marched towards his position, Chen Mo had already issued the attack order.
Instantly, a barrage of invisible magic projectiles and a volley of arrows shot towards the approaching army.
SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!!!
The Demon King’s Army still hadn’t grasped what was happening when many demonic beasts in their ranks were struck down.
"Ambush from invisible units! Everyone be alert!" a BOSS-grade demonic beast immediately shouted a warning.
However, the warning was futile. Whether they produced Revealing Gems or scattered Revealing Dust, they couldn’t expose the invisible units.
At this moment, they knew they were in big trouble. But by the time they wanted to run, it was all too late.
The surrounding fallen demonic beasts rose as undead demonic beasts and attacked them. Combined with the Skeleton Monsters’ overwhelming covering fire, the several-hundred-thousand-strong Demon King’s Army was swiftly annihilated by Chen Mo.
The combat power of this Demon King’s Army is indeed quite strong. It’s just a pity for them that invisibility means invincibility.
Chen Mo looked at all the demonic beast elites and BOSS-grade demonic beasts that had now become his undead.
Their strength was undeniable, but they had encountered the wrong opponent, preventing them from displaying their true capabilities.
In a single engagement, Chen Mo successfully wiped out the opposing army.
This put the Demon King’s Army in an even more passive situation. Even before this, they were already struggling to resist the Human Army, which assaulted the front lines like frenzied warriors.
Now, not only had the departure of several top-tier Demonic Beasts’ Generals—leading a host of low and intermediate-tier demonic beasts—failed to bolster the rear defenses, but they had all perished there as well. The demonic beasts holding the front line felt like weeping in despair.
