“In addition, inform the Prefectural Governor of the news of the demon horde and request reinforcements from the county.”
Due to Yang Chen’s status, the county magistrate did not even ask for confirmation and directly issued a level one alert order.
After informing the magistrate, Yang Chen rushed back to his family.
“Master, you’re back.” Seeing Chen Yang return, Chen Xuan quickly went forward to welcome him.
“Great Elder, something big has happened! I discovered that a large number of demonic beasts had gathered. I reckon that a large demon wave will sweep over.”Yang Chen said seriously.
“Demon horde?” “Patriarch, is this true?” asked the Great Elder hurriedly.”
“It’s true, and I estimate that this demon wave will come in a few days.”
“Patriarch, what should we do?”This was the first time Chen Xuan had experienced a demon tide. He was at a loss for a moment and quickly looked at Chen Yang.
“How about this, all the members of my Chen clan, whether they are direct descendants or collateral relatives, or servants. All of them went out and brought the people outside the city into the city in the shortest time possible.” “At the same time, open up a place urgently to settle our assets outside the city. If he really couldn’t bring it in, then forget it!”
“Alright, I understand.” Chen Xuan nodded and quickly carried out Chen Yang’s orders.
“Wait, tell the other allies about the demon horde. If the demon horde really erupts, they will definitely suffer.”
“Yes, sir!”
With Yang Chen’s order and the order from the county magistrate, the entire Chen City fell into chaos.
No one had expected that the demon tide recorded in the books would actually descend beside them.
There were also people who doubted this. After all, since the royal family’s ancestor and the demon emperor in the Endless Mountain Range made an alliance, the demon tide had not appeared for a long time.
How could there be a demon beast that would violate the alliance agreement between the two sides and attack Chen Cheng?
However, under the suppression of the Chen family and the county government, this kind of argument disappeared. Everyone obediently listened to the orders of the Chen family.
Chen Cheng didn’t control many villages and towns. In just two days, all the residents outside the city were moved into Chen City.
Although there would definitely be a lot of trouble to settle this group of people, under the threat of the demon tide, all the trouble was nothing.
The Chen family’s businesses in Xiaoqing Mountain had all moved to Feng City. Overall, everything was developing smoothly.
However, Yang Chen was not in a good mood.
In the meeting hall, the county magistrate said with a worried expression,’”‘Lord Chen, the Prefectural Governor rejected my request. He said that under the constraints of the alliance agreement, there will definitely not be a demon horde.”
“According to my informant in the prefecture capital, it was the Song family who rejected the request.”
Pa!
Yang Chen slammed the table and said angrily,””This Song family head is not a son! If they didn’t believe it, they could come and check it out themselves!”
“He didn’t even take a look at it and directly rejected the request. I think the Song family is eager for my Chen City to be destroyed by the demon wave!” “Patriarch, what should we do? According to the scouts, there were more demonic beasts at the edge of the Endless Mountain Range.”Chen Xuan had a worried expression.
” Now, we can only sweep the snow before our doors. Order all the martial arts aristocratic families in Chen City and all the people who cultivate martial arts to be prepared. This battle will definitely be a fierce one.”
“Yes.”
Yang Chen had already made all the preparations. Now, he could only pray to the heavens.
A day later.
Accompanied by roars, demonic beasts that covered the sky and earth roared and attacked the city.
In the Chen family’s meeting hall.
“Report!”
“Patriarch…Outside the city…A large number of demon beasts have swarmed over from outside the city.” The guard rushed in as if he did not care about his life, panting heavily.
When Yang Chen heard this, he knew that the demon wave was really coming. He immediately shouted,”Pass on my orders. All those with cultivation above the fourth level of Qi Refinement, whether they are direct descendants or collateral relatives, follow me to the city wall to resist the demon tide!” Immediately, Yang Chen decided to head to the city wall.
At this moment, Chen Xuan grabbed Chen Yang’s arm tightly.” Family Head, the demon horde is dangerous. You should stay in the Chen family and mobilize the overall situation.”
“Bullshit! Once the city wall is broken, not only the citizens of Chen City, but our Chen family members will also be doomed.”
“How can I hide at home in such a dangerous situation?”
This was the first time Chen Xuan had heard Chon Yang swear in so many years. However, from this, it could be seen that Chen Yang was determined to climb the city wall.
Chen Xuan gritted his teeth immediately.” Forget it. In that case, my Chen family will live and die with this city wall!”
Immediately, Chen Yang and Chen Xuan led the Chen Yang clansmen to the city wall.
Along the way, countless citizens of Chen City knelt down to see them off. They all knew that the Chen family was going to use the lives of the Chen family members to exchange for their hope of survival.
In the crowd, an old man sighed.” I’ve lived for so many years and gone to so many cities. Only the Chen family is willing to give up their lives for us ants.””
The reputation of a family was not only dependent on kindness, but also the attitude they had in the face of great disasters.
The Chen family’s actions had undoubtedly planted a deep seed among the commoners. When it sprouted, even the royal family would not be able to stop the Chen family.
On the city wall.
Yang Chen took a deep breath as he looked down at the horde of demonic beasts.
At a rough glance, there were more than ten thousand demon beasts roaring outside the city wall. Looking over, it was a black mass.
Among them, there was no lack of demon generals.
Although these demon beasts did not attack, Yang Chen knew that they were only waiting for news.
“Roar!”
Accompanied by a wolf roar in the distance, the demon beasts under the city wall opened their bloody mouths and began to attack the city wall.
Some flying demon beasts directly charged onto the city wall and harvested the lives of the martial artists guarding the city.
“Kill them!”
Yang Chen threw a punch and killed a flying demonic beast. Then, he let out an angry roar.
Under Yang Chen’s encouragement, the martial artists guarding the city began to fight back. Those without weapons raised their boulders and smashed them down at the demon tide below.
As for the one holding the sharp weapon, it was the guard on the side who dealt with the flying demon beast.
The Chen Family members didn’t stay idle either. They controlled the storm wolves and cooperated with the warriors guarding the city to kill the flying demonic beasts.
As for Yang Chen, he even released his subdued beasts and let them fight wantonly.
Perhaps it was because they were testing the waters, but the first batch of demonic beasts that attacked the city did not have any powerful existences.
For a moment, the casualties were still manageable.
The city wall was still quite strong, and there were no signs of it being breached in a short period of time.
As for the flying demon beasts, with the help of the Light Snatching Eagle and the Winged Tiger, they had already been eliminated, greatly relieving the pressure on the city defense.
Of course, the clearing here referred to the flying demon beasts attacking the city. In the distance, there were countless demonic beasts grinding their teeth and claws, ready to reap the lives of the people of Chen City.
“Why arc these demonic beasts so organized?”Yang Chen could not help but ask after killing another demon beast that had climbed onto the city wall..
