Although Hyacinth had already said that these guard warriors had completely surrendered to them, Qianqi was still a little hesitant to believe it. He tentatively walked towards the guard warriors and summoned his Jade Cicada Sword. He was slightly relieved when he saw that those huge creatures were as motionless as sculptures.
After taking a long breath, he reached out and patted a guard warrior in front of him. The guard warrior raised his eyes and looked at him, but still maintained the same posture as before.
"Phew!" He stepped back to the others.
Ouyang Xiaoleng helped Hyacinth up and said to him: "It is really an honor for us to get the help of Demon King Yanluo. This time, the main task of you and the guard warriors is to work with the Orion tribe to stop the strongest of the Qingyun monster army. One of them, the Tree Demon."
"What is the size of the opponent's monster army?" Hyacinth has already begun to think about how to fight this battle.
"The specific scale is unknown, but it is certain that the number is far greater than ours. Because we cannot completely give up the defense of the royal city, I cannot mobilize all the royal city troops."
"I understand this!"
Even though Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't say it out loud, Hyacinthia could tell that the situation was not optimistic. Based on his understanding of Qingyun, the actions he planned were often surprising and unprepared, which was completely in line with his character. Even if he had been under Qingyun for a long time and took orders from him, it would be difficult to truly understand him. , just like where his boundless hatred and ambition come from, no one can answer it.
"Did you just mention the Orion tribe? I don't know them very well!" Hyacinth suddenly remembered that he had never met the Orion tribe who would mainly cooperate with him and the guard warriors.
"They have lived in the ancient forest outside Miancheng for generations, making a living by hunting. They are very good at long-distance attacks, and they are also very good at dealing with beasts. In their clan, everyone is a divine archer. It is said that the tree demon is very good at attacking. People are more afraid of fire, so I hope they will use fire bows to destroy the formation of the opponent's tree demons first, and then you will attack them head-on." Ouyang Xiaoleng conveyed to Hyacinth the tactics he and others designed based on the characteristics of the tree demons. .
"Before the battle begins, I would like to have further contact with them and carefully arrange the details of cooperation." Hyacinth thought for a moment and said.
"Before we came to Qingyang, Jingjing had already left for Miancheng to deliver a message to the Orion tribe. I believe they will arrive in Qingyang soon!"
Although Ouyang Xiaoleng said he was confident, he was still worried in his heart. He wondered whether Jingji could persuade the Orion tribe to come to help. According to the habits of the Orion tribe, they will never leave the forest where they were born. Because they deeply believe in the protection of the God of the Earth Temple, they live around the Earth Temple. They believe that the reason why they are able to hit the target with perfect accuracy is because of the divine power of the God Lord. Once they leave the forest, they will lose their best bow and arrow skills.
At this moment, the cry of a bird that he had been looking forward to passed over his head. Everyone looked up following the sound, and the little bird with a fiery red body finally appeared.
"Thorns, you came just in time!" Ouyang Xiaoleng was looking forward to seeing him but also a little worried. What should he do if the news he brought was not good news.
Before falling to the ground, the thorns transformed into a tall human form, still with the conspicuous fiery red hair. The thorns carried on his shoulders even pierced into his own flesh, making the Demon Spirit Tribe people dumbfounded.
After saluting, he said: "My lord, I have delivered your decree to Lao Yi, the leader of the Orion tribe."
"What did he say?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't help but asked.
"They are already on their way to Qingyang. In order to prevent the rumors of spies in the royal city from leaking out and hindering them, Lord Yong appointed a team of people to protect them." Jingjia replied immediately.
"Very good!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief like Ouyang Xiaoleng. This was undoubtedly good news. With the help of Demon King Yanluo, this time they successfully obtained the participation of the Orion clan. It was of great significance to them. While everyone's confidence increased, their fighting spirit also soared.
The screening of the Demon Spirit Clan warriors has been completed, and the selected Demon Spirit Clan members were divided into several teams together with the Royal City army and placed in each layer of Qingyang City. Ouyang Xiaoleng, Ouyang Hongye and others followed Heye to check the construction status of the secret passage.
When they came to the secret passage in the lower city, they found three familiar figures. Those were Heye's two children, Xiao Shitou and Doudou, and Kui, the son of the red-eared demon spirit. Now they looked very healthy. It was impossible to imagine the situation when they were the nourishment for the soul of the red-eared ape demon.
As soon as they saw Xia Qiu, Xiao Shitou and Doudou immediately gathered around and kept calling: "Sister Xia Qiu, sister Xia Qiu!"
Kui was still a little shy when he saw the stranger. The happy look on his face suddenly disappeared. Doudou walked up to Kui like a big sister and took his hand and said, "Kui, this is Sister Xia Qiu." , didn’t you see her last time?”
"Um!"
After listening to Doudou's words, Kui nodded, with a shy smile on his lips.
"Sister Xia Qiu, we all helped build these secret passages and traps." Xiao Shitou said proudly.
"Really? That's great!" Xia Qiu patted his head and praised.
"Okay, okay, in front of Lord Demon King Fox, you three are too rude, go find your mother quickly!" Heye ordered with a gloomy face.
The three children showed little reluctance.
"It's better to let the three of them lead the way!" Xia Qiu suggested.
Little Shitou and Doudou kept nodding, and Kuiye showed his naughty side and winked at the hinges. Now he regards hinges and bells as his parents, because when the red-eared demon spirit was alive, he He was in a coma for almost a long time, so his impression of his father was relatively vague. This may also be his luck, because he was able to integrate into this new family so quickly and become a member of it.
"Let us lead the way, we are all too familiar with these secret passages and traps!" Doudou pleaded to her father.
"That's right, this is just like our playground!" Xiao Shitou also grabbed his father and said.
"Okay, okay!" Seeing that Xia Qiu had already said this, Heye stopped insisting.
So the three children happily led the way, leading them through the criss-crossing secret passages. Through these secret passages, they could reach any of the seven floors of Qingyang City and control the mechanisms in the trap. Each floor is in charge of a team of old, weak, women and children, and they all do their jobs with all their heart, and every sentry is guarded at all times.
Ouyang Xiaoleng was very satisfied with the efforts of the Demon Spirit Clan, and Qianqi and the others were also quite surprised by the secret passages and traps they had built. This was the wisdom of the Demon Spirit Clan, just like the Seven-tone Gate they had built. It makes people feel admiration.
At ten o'clock in the evening, all preparations were in place, and just waiting for the Orion tribe to arrive, Ling Dang led the women of the Demon Spirit tribe through the secret passage to deliver dinner to the ambushed soldiers on the front line, including Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng.
There was almost no conversation during the meal. Everyone wanted to calm down as much as possible to face the enemy that might arrive at any time.
This will be Ouyang Xiaoleng's opportunity to face his biggest enemy again, and he must seize this opportunity firmly. This night, the Qingyang air was sultry and the huge dark clouds were low, as if a downpour might occur at any time.
Suddenly the sound of a horn came from the front, which meant that an enemy was present. While everyone was preparing for war, lightning and thunder also followed, and there seemed to be drums accompanying it.
"That's?!" Qianqi remembered these sounds. He was very sure that they came from the tree demons. The drum beats kept coming and going. He was also counting the number of tree demons in his mind. When the drum beats gradually gathered into a sea, he couldn't help but sigh, " No way?!!"
"Qingyun actually created so many monsters" Lingyu was also shocked.
"I guess there are more than a thousand tree demons!" Qianqi said to Ouyang Xiaoleng.
Ouyang Xiaoleng made a gesture to him. Qianqi understood the meaning of this gesture. They had already discussed that once the war started, Qianqi would be mainly responsible for dealing with the air and water demon. Although he didn't want to leave this position, he had to do it.
He led a group of men assigned to him into the secret passage behind him and headed for their main position, which was a pond at the other end. According to the characteristics of the air and water demons, this would be their main passage into the green soil.
What they didn't expect was that the one sent by Qingyun's party to fight in the front line was not a tree demon, but a winged demon. They took advantage of the cover of dark clouds and thunderstorms and quietly approached the sky above Qingsang. By the time anyone noticed, they were already quite close to the position, and the overwhelming winged demons launched their poisonous feathers towards Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"Be careful to protect with a shield!" Ouyang Xiaoleng shouted loudly, while using demon power with Ouyang Hongye, Wangyue and others to form a cyclone-shaped protective cover.
It's just that there are too many winged demons, and their protective shields are beginning to be destroyed, and they are gradually unable to stop the poisonous feathers. The wound shot by the poisonous feather first felt very itchy, then became unbearable pain, and finally lost consciousness, and soldiers continued to fall.
"Hold on!" Ouyang Hongye shouted to the others in the heavy wind and rain.
In fact, he had already sent people to look for the black gryphon Konan and his friends to seek their help. It's just that they are really elusive. Unless they actively want to show up, the possibility of finding them is extremely low. If they were around, they shouldn't be afraid of these damn winged demons.
I don't know if it was telepathy, but the strong wind and heavy rain suddenly stopped, and a group of huge black monsters flying from the other side of the sky replaced the dark clouds, Xiaonan was among them. Their team is larger than the last time we saw them, and their formation seems to be specifically protecting something.
"Look!" Lingyu pointed at the center of the Black Griffin team.
What they grabbed with their powerful claws was the Orion tribe. Very close to the ground, they released the Orion tribe and then turned around and flew into the sky, starting to enter the battle with the winged demons.
