Chapter 157: Chapter 142: Conquering the Giant Demon City, Reinforcements Have Arrived?

The earth trembled, and the Demon Beasts roared!

Fifteen High Tier Magical Beasts moved out in unison.

Among them were six Flying Demon Beasts and nine terrestrial beasts.

They broke away from the main Demon Beast formation and led the charge.

Meanwhile, the remaining Middle Tier Magical Beasts and Low Tier Magical Beasts were still waiting, waiting for the moment the High Tier Magical Beasts would shatter the city’s Barrier!

"ROAR!!!"

"SKREEE~~~"

The High Tier terrestrial Demon Beasts charged forward, sundering the earth in their wake like a landslide and tsunami!

Meanwhile, the High Tier Flying Demon Beasts unleashed terrifying sonic booms across the sky.

The moment the High Tier Magical Beasts attacked, volleys from the Magic Crystal Cannons on Farm City’s walls began to blast out through the ripples of the Barrier.

These Magic Crystal Cannons were immensely powerful!

Each blast was no weaker than a standard attack from a Tier Seven Demon Beast.

But this power came at a price. The long charging time and heavy Magic Crystal consumption meant the Giant Demon City’s defenses could not maintain a continuous bombardment.

The sound of cannon fire filled the sky!

And from the sky, a sea of fire poured down! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

It was an assault unleashed by a Tier Eight, Fire Attribute giant bird.

Flames blanketed the Magic Barrier over Giant Demon City. In an instant, to the Giant Demons and human slaves beneath it, the entire city seemed to be engulfed in fire.

Terrifying waves rippled continuously across the Magic Barrier.

At the same time, two Tier Eight Earth and Metal Element Demon Beasts surged ahead of the ground forces. Braving the bombardment from the Magic Crystal Cannons, they slammed violently into the Magic Barrier.

"BOOM!!!"

A tremendous explosion echoed throughout Farm City. Fortunately, the glowing patterns on the Magic Barrier successfully blocked the attack from the two Tier Eight Demon Beasts. The price, however, was that the two High Tier Giant Demons holding concentrated Magic Crystals were hit by a considerable impact.

When struck, the Magic Barrier acted like an elastic net. The two Giant Demons reinforcing the point of impact not only consumed their Magic Crystals but were also sent flying by the terrifying Giant Power. They landed in the city like a pair of cannonballs, creating a massive boom!

Inside the Mage Tower supporting the Magic Barrier, Giant Demon soldiers nervously and rapidly fed Magic Crystals into its furnace.

At the sight of this,

The eight High Tier Giant Demons in the city all wore expressions of despair!

"You’ve got to be kidding me!!!"

"Where in the world did these Demons come from?"

"So many High Tier Demons! Don’t tell me they swarmed out of a revived High Tier, or even a Nightmare Level Dungeon?"

A Giant Demon city councilor said, his face deathly pale.

"This is absolutely not something Human Professionals could have orchestrated, not even a Saint Tier! Even if an Underground City revived, its Demons would never obey a human’s command!"

"So, everyone, I suspect the most unacceptable, the most inconceivable thing has happened!"

"At least one of the native Deities must have awakened!!!"

Inside Farm City, the Secretary at the Giant Demon City Lord’s side spoke bluntly, his tone filled with despair and disbelief.

"It’s all so sudden! There were no signs! Even the great Giant Demon gods haven’t passed down a single Oracle!"

"There’s no way we can hold Farm City!!!"

"That’s fifteen High Tier Demons! And on the outskirts, vast numbers of Middle-Low Tier Demons are lying in wait!"

"City Lord!!! Make a decision! If we’re going to break out, now is our chance!"

"If we don’t break out, we will perish here along with all our clansmen in the city."

"I’m not trying to damage morale, but the situation is unclear. The enemy sent out this many High Tier Demons in their very first wave. Who’s to say there isn’t something even more powerful out there?"

"City Lord, don’t forget the tragedy of Copper Hammer City!"

At that moment, the Giant Demon who had just been knocked flying returned to the city wall. His expression was grim, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

He looked out at the Demon Beasts beyond the walls and began to vehemently persuade the Giant Demon City Lord.

As for the Giant Demon City Lord?

He stared at the few hundred-meter-tall High Tier Magical Beasts outside the city, his expression incredibly grave.

At the same time, however, he had not fallen into despair like the other Giant Demons.

"Everyone, calm yourselves. Keep an eye on the Demons’ areas of attack. We absolutely cannot let them break through the Barrier’s nodes."

The Giant Demon City Lord soothed the Giant Demons spreading out to defend their positions, then continued:

"The situation may not be as dire as you all imagine."

"While Farm City’s overall Military Equipment may be lacking, our defenses are more than sufficient."

"Our thirty Magic Crystal Cannons will drain a great deal of these Demons’ Magic Power with every volley. If we continue this, turning it into a battle of attrition, these Demons will never be able to break our line of defense."

"Furthermore, while the fate of Copper Hammer City was tragic, that was only because they were caught unprepared."

"Now that the Magic Barrier is raised, the barrier designed by the Empire Demigods is not something these Demons can breach at will."

"What’s more, our city’s reserve of Magic Crystals is considerable. Not even a Saint Tier could breach it in a short amount of time!"

As the Giant Demon City Lord spoke these words, in truth, he felt a flicker of unease.

But on the other hand, he still had the will to defend the city. After all, whether they *could* defend it was one thing, but whether they *should* was another matter entirely!

Besides, the current situation was simply unbelievable.

’Is this the awakening of the Deities? Or is it some new development that not even the Giant Demons are aware of?’

Deep down, the Giant Demon City Lord also wanted to understand what was happening.
