While all this was happening on one side of the world, two troops of the demon race were secretly flanking the Mysterious Sky City from different directions, completely outnumbering and outwitting their enemy. The battle was yet to start!
Each of these armies was comprised of some 300, 000 soldiers. They were moving silently and without any battle cries or signs so that their enemies' scouts would not see them. It was a surgical strike.
They weren't the only one. There was a third army of demons too, also about to attack the Mysterious Sky City from a third direction.
In total, they had assembled 900, 000 soldiers just to attack the city.
Such was the evil and dangerous nature of the demon race; ever they tried to undermine their enemies. So had it always been, and so would it always be, maybe!
Unfortunately, the humans inside the city knew nothing of such a massive plot. They weren't completely unaware though.
They were expecting about 300, 000 soldiers to attack them soon, but the scouts hadn't seen any of the rest and therefore, things were calm rather right now.
There were preparations going on, but not with too much tension. About a dozen human semi-emperors were lining up outside the city, fully prepared for battle.
Waves of vital energy force were emanating from each of their bodies and these waves were strong enough to be felt between the earth and the heaven.
Those human warriors looked rather formidable, since some of them were floating in midair, while some were standing firmly on the ground, looking energized and determined. They were all brave, strong-witted personalities who had survived several battles in their lifetime.
Ever since the demon race had invaded the South Continent for the first time ever about half a year ago, the Southern Alliances Army had been preparing a massive force to strike back. They had faced them several times since then.
The Southern Alliances Army had often tried to defeat the demon race's troops or defend their own cities.
Therefore, these human warriors didn't fear the demon race any more. In fact, fear was as far away from them as possible, and they hated those demons more than anything in the whole wide world. They wanted to kill as many of their enemy as possible to avenge their brothers and families' deaths.
At this very moment, each and every human warrior was determined to wage a life-and-death battle against the demon race. It was going to be a cold day in hell when they let the demons win!
Half an hour later.
Boom!
A large rumbling sound was heard from the horizon.
Then the very core of the ground beneath their feet seemed to shake.
An intense evil aura emerged from some unknown corners and blotted out the whole sky, flowing violently towards the Mysterious Sky City.
It reeked of death and destruction. Wherever it went, it left nothing but corpses and death. This was pure evil! Unmatched, undiluted, and fearsome evil!
Night had already fallen earlier on.
And those blasts of evil aura continued to shoot towards every direction, aiming to crush the whole city in front of it.
"Haha.
Those human fools in the Mysterious Sky City will all die today,"
a cold and arrogant voice echoed.
The demon race's troops had finally arrived at the city. It was time for war!
"Ha, you wish!
Don't try to boast so shamelessly.
We both know you're too weak to do that.
You're the one who's going to die tonight, and right here,"
said a human semi-emperor who had come forward at the first sign of trouble and was now confronting the demon race's troops bravely.
Amplified by his vital energy force, his voice rumbled and sent chill waves inside the demons' hearts.
"Well, there's no need to brag. But still, yeah!
We'll send you all straight to hell and you will surely burn there."
Another tall and glowing elder human with eyes red from fury stood out from the crowd and challenged the demon race in front of him.
Being a human semi-emperor, he had been born with a naturally loud voice. So loud that there was no need for him to borrow strength from his vital energy force to make it echo between the heaven and the earth.
"Kill the demons!
Kill the demons!"
The soldiers of the Southern Alliances Army shouted out spontaneously. Such was the ferocity in their voices that it shook the heavens without any vital energy force in the picture.
Looking at the formation of the Southern Alliances Army would yield a polychromic sight. Colorful banners had been raised and were fluttering in the wind. Tens of thousands of soldiers were wielding their weapons in high fighting spirits, with shiny, metallic glows. They were boiling with anger and murderous will, and would fight to death as soon as the order was given.
"Haha,"
A terrible, evil, dark, and fearsome shriek suddenly rang out from somewhere within the demon race's troops.
The unscrupulous laughter was so dangerous that it immediately depressed and discouraged the soldiers of the Southern Alliances Army.
Even the semi-emperors were slightly afraid of whoever had made that sound.
The origin of this horrific laughter was a demon semi-emperor who was roaring. His evil aura was extremely overwhelming and even if he were silent, he would have been scary.
