I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night Chapter 626 - 374: They Have Been Surrounded by Our Master!2

Nowadays, the Demon Domain advances with ferocity, like a tsunami raging, showing no signs of retreat.

The human strongn of the Taixuan Divine Mountain, thousands of warriors, fight desperately, yet continue to fall back in defeat!

As of today, the Great Banner Master of the Heavenly Kui Flag, the head of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Flags of the Taixuan Divine Mountain, has, after deep deliberation, completely abandoned the thoughts of counterattacking and reclaiming the frontline.

He has even prepared to retreat to Yuan Shan City after the defeat.

And every military order he currently issues clearly shows that the Taixuan Divine Mountain cannot be defended!

Now the reason for holding on is rely to sacrifice lives to blunt the enemy’s edge and buy ti for the land of the Three Prefectures behind them.

There is hope that the new thods will be perfected soon and put into practice!

There is hope that the extraordinary talent of the Saint Master can uphold a pure land for the Human Clan amidst the defeat of the Taixuan Divine Mountain!

For this, the Taixuan Divine Mountain has already suffered heavy casualties.

"Fighting like this is futile; in the past, although the Demon Domain often ca with many evils during the Deceit Night, the most ferocious and malicious were relatively few, and the most vicious and evil only occasionally intruded."

"This ti, there have been quite a few instances of these beings surpassing the tier."

"That Taiyin Thunder Envoy has even annihilated Creator-level beings; over the years, his skills have beco elusive."

"The Holy Alliance to the north, led by Prince Zhen Nan, originally intended to harass the north of the Demon Domain to lessen our pressure."

"But according to the Night Watchers, the Demon Domain has abandoned its northern defenses, focusing all efforts on the south."

"Prince Zhen Nan, without the preparation from the upper echelon of the Holy Alliance, does not dare to rashly send troops to invade the Demon Domain."

"At present, the Demon Kings and Evil Venerates of the Demon Domain seem to have gone mad, planning to abandon the Demon Domain entirely and attack my Taixuan Divine Mountain with full force."

"For so many years, within the Demon Domain, these Demon Kings and Evil Venerates have established themselves as rulers, each claiming territory, nurturing the Human Clan, declaring themselves as Divine Spirits in the world, and plundering faith..."

"Only this ti, the entire Demon Domain has reached a consensus to attack my Taixuan Divine Mountain with all their might!"

"They are backed by Old Gods who survived the great tribulation of years past!"

As intelligence from all sides pours in.

The Great Banner Master’s face remains cold.

Though aged, his authority is undiminished, staring into the distance, he says: "The six defensive lines won’t hold. Following the plan I previously laid out, have all the Heavenly Gang Flags disperse!"

"How exactly should they scatter?" asks the middle-aged man beside him, who commands one of the Seventy-two Earth Evil Flags and possesses the Refining God’s Power; he is his Direct Disciple.

"Change to thirty-six layers of defense!" the Great Banner Master slowly says, "Continue to spread out the forces and delay the enemy’s advance!"

"We already lack manpower; spreading them so thin?" the middle-aged man hesitated: "According to your deploynt, the soldiers at the front are bound to die!"

"Yes!" the Great Banner Master said in a deep voice, "They keep coming, and we constantly reinforce to hold the line, suffering heavy casualties daily... If this continues, in less than three months, the Taixuan Divine Mountain will completely collapse!"

"So you an to divide them and let them stop the attack in batches?" the middle-aged man said in a low voice, "When the front is attacked, the soldiers at the back can only watch their comrades die without reinforcent? Just wait for the first-line soldiers to all perish, and the second-line soldiers continue to fight?"

"Send the orders down."

The Great Banner Master slowly said, "With thirty-six defensive lines, even if the Demon Domain breaks through one line every ten days... by the ti we’re all dead, it will buy the Human Clan behind us up to a year of ti!"

The middle-aged man said softly, "The front-line soldiers, alone and unaided, facing certain death, they will fall into despair!"

The Great Banner Master said in a low tone, "The Human Clan is already in despair, and even from my standpoint, there is no way out for the future of the Human Clan!"

"Now, there is a glimr of hope behind us; this is the only hope for the future... I have communicated with the high levels of the Holy Land and the Human Clan leaders in the Three Prefectures through secret ssages and reached a consensus!"

"The Demon Domain spares no cost to attack my Taixuan Divine Mountain to sever the Human Clan’s great fortune!"

"And we at the Taixuan Divine Mountain must also spare no expense to defend the hope created by the Saint Master as the leader!"

He looked at this middle-aged man and said in a deep voice, "Even if we all die, we must not retreat! Not retreating ans there are still Fire Seeds in the land of the Three Prefectures behind us! If we retreat, then all our ancestors who defended this Taixuan Divine Mountain have done so in vain!"

"Understood!"

The middle-aged man paused and said, "In the past, in battles with certain death, there would have been soldiers fleeing, and such an act would certainly fail! But nowadays, the soldiers fight without regard for their lives, brave and fierce, forming a stance of not retreating from deadly battle..."

"Many say that the so-called Great Luck is vague and perhaps doesn’t exist."

The Great Banner Master looked forward and slowly said, "Since the birth of the Saint Master, all Martial Artists above the Refining Essence Realm know that a new path has been paved, diminishing hidden dangers, clearing the past’s shadows, with high morale! Perhaps... this is where the luck lies!"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and continued, "However, I’ve heard that the Saint Master has recently faced multiple assassination attempts. If we persist in holding the front but the Saint behind us encounters misfortune, what should we do? Should we deploy a team of elites to protect the Saint?"

"Don’t mistake all the high-level elders behind us as incompetent!"

The Great Banner Master said calmly, "We have been able to hold the Taixuan Divine Mountain for many years because they have been supporting us from behind! There is no shortage of capable people among the high-level elders of the Holy Land and the Three Prefectures, they will make their own decisions! Our only concern should be how to keep the Deceit Night demons north of the Taixuan Divine Mountain..."

"Report!"

At this mont, a soldier hurriedly reported in a low voice, "The Saint Master has left the Holy Land and is heading towards our Taixuan Divine Mountain!"

"Nonsense! How can the Saint Master personally co to the frontline? What if sothing goes wrong?"

The middle-aged man exclaid, "Which Heavenly Gang Flag unit is he heading for? Quickly issue a military order to intercept the Saint Master and take him to a safe place..."

"No need!"

The Great Banner Master waved slightly and said, "Since he has co, it ans that none of those so-called high elders of the Human Clan behind us could stop him! So, we can’t stop him either!"

After a pause, the Great Banner Master said, "It’s good that he’s here. With the presence of the Saint Master, all the soldiers of the Taixuan Divine Mountain will surely be inspired to fight bravely, holding on for a while longer! As long as we persuade the Saint Master to retreat before the complete collapse, so be it!"

The middle-aged man was silent for a mont, then said, "I will go to guard the Saint Master’s side!"

The Great Banner Master thought for a mont, took out a mirror, handed it over, and said, "I grant you this item, which may be of great use at a critical mont!"

"This item..."

The middle-aged man glanced at it, then nodded solemnly, "If there is any danger, as a disciple, I must die before the Saint Master!"

"No!"

The Great Banner Master stepped forward and said solemnly, "You and I can die, but he cannot!"

——

The Heavenly Might Flag’s defensive line.

The previous Heavenly Might Flag Master suffered an assassination attempt.

Although the new Flag Master has achieved distinguished battle achievents and commands respect, being able to enforce orders, he has just succeeded the position and has not yet fully mastered the Heavenly Might Flag. Currently, he stands on the final defensive line, commanding his troops.

"Night has fallen!"

The Heavenly Might Flag Master opened his eyes, looked ahead, and said, "Starting tomorrow, we will scatter into thirty-six layers of defense. We can only watch as our brothers at the front fall one by one, then it will be our turn..."

He exhaled and said, "Military orders cannot be disobeyed, go prepare!"

The young general beside him whispered, "Is the Flag Master going to the very front line?"

The new Heavenly Might Flag Master nodded, "This will be my last ti fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with them! Based on the Great Banner Master’s arrangents, they will all die in front of us..."

"Report!"

At this ti, a Martial Artist at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm rushed into the camp and said, "Soone from the rear, while we were unprepared, has charged toward the front line!"

"Is it Tribulation Ash? Or a new assassin?"

The face of the Heavenly Might Flag Master changed drastically.

"It’s..."

The Martial Artist felt his mouth dry: "The person claims to be Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy of the Three Prefectures of the Observatory!"

"The Saint Master?"

The Heavenly Might Flag Master felt as if a bolt of lightning had exploded in his mind.

He picked up the Heavenly Might Flag, grasped a long knife, and shouted, "Transmit my military order, reinforce the front line with all efforts!"

"No need!"

At this mont, a streak of silver glowed from nearby.

The Heavenly Might Flag Master’s expression beca solemn.

Only then he realized it was a Jiao Linma that had beco a demon.

And riding on it was a white ape with wings on its back, a jade bottle hanging from its waist, saying, "I am the protector under the Saint Master’s command, you are to instruct your soldiers to proceed as planned, without reinforcent!"

"No! Last night’s assault on our Heavenly Might Flag’s line included a Demon King surpassing the tier, three great evils, and more than six thousand demons!"

"Hmm..."

The little white ape thought for a mont and said, "It seems they have already been surrounded by my master."
