974 Unleashing Their Cards (4)

"…"

"…"

Qiel stopped awkwardly when she didn't hear anything from the city. Normally, if the demons broke out into the city, they would wreak havoc, and the people would scream in panic. But there was nothing to hear.

"…" Qiel looked at Noel, who looked at her as if she was a fool. "Don't tell me…"

There was something amiss. The underground demon would be the hardest to stop, so how could they disappoint her?

"What is going on?" Qiel turned around while shouting to the Superior Demon supervising the underground demons. Behind their army were more than twenty holes where the underground demons would create a passage underneath the city and the smaller demons would come in and use this passage.

Yet, nothing happened.

*Roar!* The Superior Demon panicked while pointing at the holes. It was filled with water.

"Huh?!" Qiel's face became pale. How could the holes be filled with water? The demons might be strong under the soil, but if the hole was filled with water, they would drown.

She had sent a lot of demons to dig the ground, but every single hole was completely filled to the brim. Even if they wanted to bring them back, the drowned demons would have stuck in the hole. So, they had no choice but to dig more ground.

But if they kept creating a new hole, the soil used as a battlefield would weaken. Noel wouldn't hesitate to make it collapse, which made the battle even more treacherous for the demons.

"No way." Qiel gritted her teeth.

*Ssshhhh!*

*Sssshhhh!*

The sound of leaves shaking echoed in her ears as if the tree demon were calling her. She turned around and saw the tree send out two roots to show something to Qiel. The first root had blood on it while the other root was completely wet with water.

Qiel dropped her jaw. There was no way the demon tree would kill its fellow demons when they were digging, so the blood must have come from the demon who had died, and the demon tree accidentally punctured it.

And the demon tree wouldn't have spread its roots so deeply that it would dig up the water reservoir below. There was only one possible thing that came into her mind.

"Don't tell me… "Has he created a water wall?!" Qiel gasped. "Then, we should dig deeper to avoid the water wall… no, wait…"

Qiel tried to think about all kinds of possibilities. The water wall's mechanism was pretty simple. They dug the water wall on top of the reservoir so that everything that wanted to enter the city would hit the reservoir. If they tried to dig deeper to avoid the water wall, they would still drown themselves due to the influx of water from the reservoir.

This way, the underground demon wouldn't be able to create a dry tunnel and would never reach the city.

"Not good!" Qiel didn't know what she should do. These demons were her trump card to create chaos inside the city, so she didn't expect that Noel would have found a way to counter it.
