Chapter 177 The sudden appearance of the demon army
"Everyone take a break first, and then we'll consider completing the killing mission."
I was exhausted from the journey and mentally very tired.
Fortunately, we are now far away from the center of the demon clan, so we don't have to worry about encountering any danger.
But it didn't take long.
Ye Tian suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction.
"There is a situation."
As soon as these words were spoken, the others stood up almost at the same time, their expressions becoming extremely serious.
Ye Tian didn't need to give any additional instructions. Lin Jialu and Shui Juqing raised their magic wands at the same time.
Two bird-shaped transparent shadows have taken off into the air and are flying high into the sky.
A faint light also covered the eyes of the two women.
"I see, it's the demon army!"
Lin Jialu growled.
The light and shadow continued to soar, taking in the details of the situation.
"There are a lot of demons," Shui Juqing took over the conversation, looking particularly solemn, "There are at least more than 10,000 of them, most of them are ordinary double-blade demons, and there are dozens of green double-blade demons."
Ye Tian shook his head, "Not only that, there are also many Luke clan stalkers and air force."
"Why did the demons suddenly gather so many people? Are they planning to attack the Southeast Fortress?"
Wang Yuanyuan made a guess with a serious face.
"It doesn't look like it," Ye Tian remained calm at this time, "If they really want to attack the Southeast Fortress, they won't send only this few people, at least more than 100,000."
"Even if it was to reduce the population of the race, there couldn't be only 100,000. There must be other reasons."
If you don't understand the situation, you naturally can't act rashly.
Ye Tian suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Jialu and Shui Juqing.
"Sister Jialu, Sister Juqing, use the Eagle Eye Technique to advance in the direction of the demon army and see what these guys are going to do."
The two women nodded slightly and controlled the light and shadow to quickly pass across the sky.
Not long after.
"Found it," Lin Jialu's voice rang out, "There is a team of a thousand people about ten miles away, it seems to be a caravan."
"A free trader?!"
Ye Tian suddenly understood something.
So these demon armies are targeting the free merchants.
The autumn offensive failed to produce any results, and the logistical supplies were also destroyed, which made the already huge amount of food for the demons even more scarce.
No wonder a large army was sent out to rob wandering merchants.
"Xiaotian, do we need help?" Wang Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask.
Although free merchants are in a gray area, they are human beings after all, and they cannot stand idly by when they are attacked by demons.
Ye Tian nodded without hesitation.
"Of course we need your help, but we must not put ourselves in danger. We should do what we can!"
"If it's true, it can't be done"
Although the words were not fully said, everyone else understood the meaning behind them.
The women naturally had no objection.
"In that case, follow carefully!"
"Always be ready for battle."
A series of commands sounded in the ears of the demon hunting team members.
Ye Tian was in front, Lin Jialu, Shui Juqing and Mina were in the middle, and Wang Yuanyuan and Li Xin were at the back.
But Cai'er quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Advance cautiously, avoiding the attention of the demon army.
"Boom-bang!"
Before arriving at the scene, a white light shot up into the sky and then exploded, forming white light flowers that spread in the air.
The appearance of white light also dispelled some of the darkness.
"stop!"
Ye Tian clenched his right fist and raised it.
The entire demon hunting group stopped at the same time. With the help of the light, they saw a large number of black shadows on the distant horizon, rapidly approaching in a certain direction.
The momentum of thousands of people galloping could be clearly felt even from a distance.
"Boom boom boom!"
The ground shook slightly.
Soon the tremors intensified and soon turned into a deafening roar.
"call out--"
Suddenly, another white light shot up into the sky with a whistling sound.
As the white light exploded, a white crescent moon suddenly formed in the sky.
Seems to be some kind of sign.
However, the demon army showed no intention of stopping.
"Brother!" Li Xin called out softly.
Ye Tian shook his head slowly, "Don't worry, since the free merchants dare to do business between the Holy Alliance and the Demon Clan, they must have something to rely on. Let's see how they respond first."
Although he said this, Ye Tian felt a little doubtful in his heart.
Why did the sign in the sky just now look so familiar?
While he was thinking about it, the demon army had already exchanged fire with the caravan.
A strong magical aura gushed out.
Only a not-particularly-obvious buzzing sound was heard, and thousands of colorful rays of light shot out from the caravan like lightning.
All streamer colors are different.
Red, blue, or green
Each color represents a different magic, and its strength is at least comparable to the second and third level attack magic.
In addition to this, there are also streamers that are significantly more powerful.
There was even a halo of magic patterns flowing on it.
"Are these magic arrows?!"
Such dazzling colors immediately made everyone's eyes widen.
"So many magic arrows? This caravan is really too wealthy!"
Although free merchants are tacitly allowed by the Holy Alliance and the demons, there are still rules that cannot be violated.
That is, free merchants cannot hire strong people above level six.
But this does not mean that other methods cannot be used to solve the caravan safety problem.
That's the equipment!
Magic Arrows are the best choice.
Perhaps the power of a single magic arrow is not as great as imagined, but if hundreds or even thousands of magic arrows form a rain of arrows, even if they encounter an army of tens of thousands of demons, they will not be without the ability to fight.
The caravan that is equipped with so many magic arrows obviously has an extraordinary origin.
While everyone was still in shock, the streams of light had already fallen.
No matter whether it was an ordinary double-blade demon or a green double-blade demon, they were as fragile as clay dolls in such a dense rain of chariots and arrows, and could not even create a slight wave.
In an instant, countless demons were pierced by the rain of arrows.
Broken arms, limbs, blood and flesh flew everywhere on the battlefield.
The vanguard of the demon army was torn apart so easily.
This is a storm composed of metal and magic, and also a terrifying offensive forged with money.
Even a seventh-level warrior would be killed on the spot facing such intensive attacks.
"This is too exaggerated!"
Li Xin couldn't help swallowing.
Even though the 21st Demon Hunter Regiment had been on the battlefield before, the battles they had experienced were even more massive than the one they are experiencing now.
But when I saw it again, I couldn't help but be amazed.
“It should be said that it is spectacular.”
Ye Tian also sighed softly.
In just a dozen breaths, the aggressive demon army had suffered heavy losses.
The double-blade demons who were at the front all died tragically under the rain of arrows.
In other words, the Rook stealth fighter was at the back of the team, and with his quick reaction, he was able to sneak underground and survive.
Most of the demons in the sky were also killed.
After just one encounter, the caravan had the upper hand.
