There was deathly silence in Anbei City. Occasionally, the roars of night owls and beasts could be heard coming from outside the city.
The city was completely dark, and only the areas where the demons were stationed could light up.
In the slightly dilapidated city lord's palace, the meeting hall was brightly lit.
An Yu, who was wearing silver armor and a scarlet cloak, was leaning on the large throne at the top.
Eight guards wearing black armor were divided into two teams and stood in the lobby.
The atmosphere was dull and depressing, everyone was in a heavy mood and looked ugly.
After all, what happened in recent days has hit them very hard.
After a long silence, An Yu finally spoke.
He stared at the door of the lobby with cold eyes, staring into the deep night, and asked in a low voice: "What is the current situation? How many people and cities do we have?"
The guard captain, who was missing two legs, lowered his head respectfully and replied in a hoarse voice: "Sir, in the past half month, we have captured a total of eighteen cities.
When attacking these cities, more than 60,000 demon warriors were sacrificed.
But now, twelve cities have been rescued, and forty-two of our people have died.
Of the 500,000 demon warriors, only 130,000 are left, and there are still many remnants who have suffered serious injuries."
An Yu's face became even gloomier, and he crushed the armrests of the throne to pieces with his hands.
"In other words, we now only have ten guards and 130,000 demonic wastes left, guarding the only six remaining cities?"
The eight guards in the lobby felt his overwhelming anger and immediately lowered their heads.
The guard captain said tremblingly: "That's true! However, we successfully plundered a large amount of resources, worth at least 800 million spiritual stones..."
"What's the point of that?!" An Yu was extremely angry and slapped the table in front of him hard.
Immediately, the jade table fell into pieces, turning into a pair of broken pieces and splashing out.
Some of the debris was so powerful that it hit several guards and they did not dare to move.
An Yu stood up and roared angrily: "The resources and wealth accumulated by the human race can only be used by them, and there are very few that can be used by our race!
So what if we conquered so many cities and grabbed so many useless resources?
Our brothers are dead, forty-two of them were killed!
When I came to this world, I only brought a total of eighty people with me.
During this period, more than a dozen people died one after another, and with these forty-two... I only have about twenty guards left!
Not to mention occupying the seventy-two cities, it is hard to say whether we can hold the territory of Beiming Mountain next!"
Like a roar of muffled thunder, it echoed in the lobby and made everyone's eardrums hurt.
The eight guards buried their heads like ostriches, not daring to breathe.
After a long time, when An Yu's anger dissipated a little, the guard captain had the courage to say: "Sir, this is all because of that bastard Ji Tianxing, all our brothers were killed by him!
But he is in the dark and we are in the open. There is nothing we can do against him!
None of my brothers can resist him except you.
In the opinion of my subordinates, why don’t we temporarily abandon these six cities and return to Beiming Mountain?”
Of course, An Yu was extremely ashamed and angry, and almost vomited blood in anger.
"Ji Tianxing! You damn bastard!
One day, I will peel off your skin and cramps, and cut you into pieces!!"
An Yu's eyes were filled with anger, and he was cursing hysterically.
After his anger dissipated a little, he ordered with a dark face: "It will definitely not work if we continue like this. If our troops are scattered among six cities, they will only be attacked one by one by Ji Tianxing.
You immediately return to each city and search for resources and property as quickly as possible, at all costs.
Tomorrow morning, we will evacuate the seventy-two cities and return to Beiming Mountain!"
The eight black-armored guards bowed at the same time and said they obeyed.
Then, everyone quickly left the lobby and disappeared into the dark night.
An Yu stood alone in the lobby, looking at the night sky with a ferocious face, thinking silently.
"Ji Tianxing, this bastard, ruined a series of my plans!
Now I only have more than twenty guards left, and I can only barely guard the five regions of Beiming Mountain, and I can no longer expand or invade!
I only hope that the ancestral demon god will come out of seclusion later, and give me another ten months to survive until the general leads the fleet.
By that time, I will definitely destroy Beiming Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain and kill everyone!
Only in this way can the hatred in my heart be relieved!"
An Yu murmured secretly, the scarlet flames in his eyes beating fiercely, and murderous intent bursting from his body.
…
Just before dawn, the darkest hour of the day.
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao quietly flew through the night sky and arrived above a city.
This city located on the grassland has an open terrain, richness and prosperity, and has a history of three thousand years.
Moreover, this will be the thirteenth city that the two of them have rescued.
A few days ago, Ji Tianxing received news that the city had been invaded.
He was thinking that there must be an army of demons stationed in this ancient city, as well as several alien guards.
The city lords, dignitaries, and generals must also have been imbued with the art of soul control.
He was ready for a pre-dawn killing spree.
"Whoosh!"
He and Yun Yao hid in a dark cloud above the city, observing the situation in the city from a high position.
I saw that in the dilapidated city, broken walls and ruins could be seen everywhere.
Most areas in the city are dark, with only a few areas illuminated.
However, what puzzled the two of them was that the number of demon warriors guarding the city gates and walls was obviously very small, at least a thousand.
There were no demon warriors patrolling the city, and the outside of the city lord's mansion was also deserted.
Many warriors from the human race braved the streets and searched for traces of the demons.
The frightened and desperate people also gathered in small groups, discussing in whispers.
Ji Tianxing released his spiritual consciousness again to explore the situation in the city lord's palace.
The result is even weirder.
There was no sign of alien guards in the city lord's mansion. There were only a few dozen demon warriors left guarding a few gates.
Ji Tianxing suddenly frowned and murmured in confusion: "It's strange, the alien guards and the demon army are gone.
Could it be that they got wind of the news and escaped in advance?"
Yunyao frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's very possible! In the past few days, we have attacked various cities and slaughtered more than 30 foreign guards and more than 200,000 demons.
An Yu will definitely not be able to hold on any longer. If he doesn’t want to be defeated one by one, he can only take his people to evacuate.”
Ji Tianxing showed a playful sneer, nodded and said: "Our plan finally succeeded, forcing An Yu and the demon army back!
If he continues to occupy those cities, those alien guards will be killed by us sooner or later.
By then, he will only have a dozen alien guards left, and he will not even be able to protect the territory of Beiming Mountain!"
