972 Unleashing Their Cards (2)

Qiel couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows, wondering how many people Noel had won over. There were the Gem Lord, Water Lord, Duke Briton, Milfa, and Faust already. As his former superior, there was no way Clara wouldn't help him.

Looking to her right, the demons had been closing in on the barrier, and they would start gnawing the barrier to exhaust Saintess Layla's barrier. The same occurrence happened on the left side.

It would be in her best interest to lower the enemy's morale. If the citizens thought that the demons were so easy to defeat, it would raise their morale even higher. There was no way Qiel could easily destroy the city.

Hence, there was only one way to pummel their morale. It was to attack those citizens they were trying to protect.

"It's time!" Qiel shouted to the Superior Demons. "We'll make this city remembered as a tragedy!"

At that moment, all fifty thousand demons on the north side began moving forward.

*Aoooo!*

A group of wolves let out a howl and rushed first.

"Shoot!" Noel shouted, informing the bowman. A volley of arrows flew into the air and fell right at the wolves, raining them down.

Low level demons couldn't protect themselves from these arrows as a lot of them died in the first volley. However, Noel noticed a few Mid Level Demons, whose hide actually deflected the arrows with its toughness alone.

And surprisingly, two of them leaped into the air. There was no way the wolves would be able to leap over the wall since their jumps weren't high enough.

However, one of the wolves actually positioned itself underneath the other, letting the latter make a second jump.

"What?"

"It's coming!"

"The wolf is—"

The soldiers panicked as this was the first time they saw the demons working together in this way.

Suddenly, two shield bearers moved to the front and stood in the wolf's way. The wolf had no choice but to slam its body toward them, but surprisingly, the momentum wasn't enough to push back these people.

Only a loud *bam* impact was produced by the clash, drawing everyone's attention. After the failed attempt, it looked like the wolf was about to go down. However, the shield bearers actually thrust their spears at the same time, piercing the wolf.

*Aooo!*

It was screaming in pain before falling into the ditch. Its blood began to dye the water.

These two shield bearers were normal soldiers. They didn't have the strength of the elite soldiers that Howard had trained, but that was precisely the reason why it was even more convincing.

When they succeeded in killing a Mid Level Demon, they couldn't help but say, "Yes! We really killed a demon!"
