Volu 4 Chapter 175: Nolan City Under The Siege Of The Demons
Translator: The Light
This wasn’t Bella’s first visit to Nolan City. Last ti, she had infiltrated the ancient city with Noreya and Elaine. Here, she had received a big bevy of beauties such as Anya, Emily, and Dinah, which made it a very fruitful operation.
The Demon Army had marched overnight and arrived at the outskirts of Nolan City before dawn the next day. The Night Barrier around Nolan City had fallen. All conditions indicated that the Dark Human Army in Nolan city had withdrawn in advance.
Darkness Wizard God Kenneth’s troops had all been defeated in Sarnia Duchy. As for the reinforcent troops of the Dark Humans, they probably hadn’t arrived in the Beastn Continent. At present, more than eight hundred thousand-odd Beastman troops were faced with the attack of the Demon Army which was made out of millions. The outco wasn’t much in doubt.
This ti, the Demon Army didn’t imdiately charge into battle. The “Sting of Death” and “Soul-breaking Thousand Strings” legions detoured to the rear of Nolan City and coordinated with the other four armies in front to encircle Nolan City. The support forces of Sky Demon King Dolores sent a large number of flying demons to spy on the city.
The Beastn set up a number of defensive positions outside Nolan City but the city was soon surrounded. The Demon Army had already begun to attack these defensive positions. At the sa ti, the siege troops began to erect catapults and prepare the artillery.
Bella sat in the carriage and directed the deploynt on the battlefield. In the carriage, magic communication crystals had been installed. These communication crystals, which was equivalent to a video calling equipnt of the previous world, had been jointly developed by chanical Creator Andrea and Magic Creator Bethia.
The carriages of the commanders-in-chief of the other troops were also equipped with the sa communication crystal. Bella powered up the communication crystal and exchanged battle strategies with Kriss and the others. Obviously, this wasn’t the first ti her roommates were commanders in such a large-scale battle. Their faces looked very calm. It seed that they all had untold stories.
“Bella, about killing everyone in the city... My troops can lead the way.”
“Noreya, you really want to slaughter everyone huh. I think it’s better to turn the Beastn into puppets...”
“Elaine, what do you feel like doing? We can destroy the city directly with magic. Anyways, there aren’t any humans in the city.”
Looking at the beautiful faces across the magic virtual display screen, Bella was speechless. They switched roles a little too quickly and were more professional than a Demon King. Instead, Blood Demon King Eleanor, who had the official status of demon king, said nothing. She planned to deal with it according to Bella’s wishes. Bella even wondered whether they had gotten their professions reversed.
Lisha didn’t attend the eting. She lay idly on a mat and had fallen asleep. Annie is taking care of her. As the Demon King Bella’s personal maid, taking care of the Demon King’s sisters were also part of her duties. Anya and Dinah were on standby. Currently, they were only witnesses and hadn’t taken part in the war.
“Ariel’s idea is very good. I think we should just...”
Bella was just about to agree with Ariel when she was stopped by Emily who was beside her. Emily still felt for Nolan City since it was the place where she was born. If she could, she really didn’t want to see her hotown blown to ruins by magic.
“What’s the matter, Emily? It’s not the ti for that yet. You have to be patient...”
“That’s not... Bella, how could you... I beg you. Can you spare Nolan City! When I was captured, there were many people captured in the city as well. If you blow up the city with magic, they will... “
“I can go with your suggestion, but you have to... you know!”
Emily was wearing only an almost see-through white gauzy garnt. In this carriage, besides President Lisha and President Maria, there was also Lolita, the Darkness loli. The other beautiful girls were also dressed like this, which not only made it convenient for Bella to be intimate with them at any ti, but also to prevent them from escaping.
Emily threw Bella a helpless look. For the safety of her hotown, she took the initiative to shed her white gauze top and allow Bella to hug her. Before this, when Bella was intimate with her, Emily was basically passive. Now, she voluntarily catered to Bella.
The magic communication crystal on Bella’s side was the core, while Kriss and the others had extension units. They couldn’t see the image on Bella’s end but Bella could see the situation on their side. They didn’t know that Bella was making out with Emily at such an important eting.
If they really saw them, they might’ve tossed Bella’s carriage up to “high heaven.” Right then, Lisha woke up and looked at the two beautiful girls rolling on the floor. She quietly went to magic communication crystal to continue the eting in Bella’s place.
While the commanders-in-chief of the Demon Army were still in a eting, the Demons began to attack. They ca from all directions, gradually narrowing their encirclent around Nolan City. The cannons and catapults used to attack the city had been set up and they were just waiting for Demon King Bella’s orders.
Nolan City was in chaos. It had been walled in before. When the Beastn attacked, their catapults and other weapons had destroyed the city. At present, many large holes in the city wall hadn’t been filled in yet. These walls were now useless.
The problem with the Beastn’s ability to defend the city was soon revealed. Nolan City’s few remaining towers weren’t equipped with archers or defensive catapults. The horde of demons had already set up their weapons and could no longer sit still. Aside from the palace, the other buildings in Nolan City weren’t very strong. As soon as their enemies began operating the catapults, it was very likely they would be blown to smithereens.
Wolf King Springhall was having an ergency war eting in Duke Brandon’s palace. The grand residence had been destroyed by Bella’s long-range catapult attack last ti. Now, the eting could only be moved here.
“Honorable Wolf King, we have been surrounded. What instructions does Master Kenneth have?”
“Honorable Wolf King, the enemy has captured half of our defensive positions outside the city. What should we do?”
Wolf King Springhall had already thought of withdrawing his troops when he was defeated in Sarnia Duchy. Leaving a hundred thousand soldiers in the Vaughan Plains was rely to hide the retreat of the remaining eight hundred thousand-odd troops. He didn’t expect Bella’s troops to move so quickly. Before he could arrange the transfer, she had enclosed Nolan City overnight.
The hundred thousand cannon fodder troops had been wiped out. Bella didn’t give Wolf King Springhall much ti to make a decision. It was only a matter of ti before his eight hundred thousand-strong Beastman Army was wiped out after being surrounded in Nolan City.
Darkness Wizard God Kenneth had long run away. He said that he went back to get reinforcents, but Wolf King Springhall wasn’t a fool. Without the support of the Dark Human, the Beastn simply couldn’t defeat their overwhelming numbers. On top of that, the demons were ard with magic and firearms.
“Defend your positions! I’ve already gotten people to inform the Beastman Kings about this and reinforcents will arrive soon. Also, Harrington, kill those human captives. As for food supplies, the slaves of the slave traders are all licensed as military food and the rebels are to be treated as slaves.”
Wolf King Springhall gave the vicious order without the slightest hesitation. Since he couldn’t escape, he would simply kill all the human captives. Anyway, once the demons occupied Nolan City, they couldn’t escape death. Why not kill them as food for the Beastman Army?
“Wolf King, this isn’t a good idea, is it?”
“Wolf king, isn’t this too cruel?”
White Wolf Princess Tania and Silver Fox Princess Vanessa, who was attending the eting, didn’t agree with Wolf King Springhall’s decision. The humans who were still in Nolan City were basically human salve girls who had been captured. Because the border had been plunged into war, the slave traders couldn’t transport these slaves across the border and could only stay here in Nolan City.
“Tania, this is an order. If you don’t want to carry out this order then you don’t have to bother about this matter. Also, Miss Vanessa, this area is under the control of our Wolfman Clan. You are only a military observer.”
Wolf King Springhall rudely rejected their request. Seeing that she couldn’t persuade him, Silver Fox Princess Vanessa had to leave them with Tania. Wolf King Springhall then arranged Harrington to carry out his orders. The Beastn’s military views were too conservative to allow them to surrender and escape. This sort of thinking was still alright when they were in a dominant position. However, once they were at a disadvantage, it would greatly restrict the army’s movents.
Their defensive positions outside Nolan City had all been lost and the Beastman Army had retreated into the city. Along the way, Beastn bodies were scattered everywhere. The skeleton soldiers carried spears and were marching ahead in a formation. The phalanx formation of the skeleton soldiers was followed by large, burly scavenger ghouls.
The scavenger ghouls held sledgehamrs in their hands to smash the Beastn heavy infantry. The only heavy Werebear infantry in the Wolfman Army didn’t retreat in ti due to their heavy armor and was smashed into a at paste.
In the sky, Grisbane, one of the Scourge of the Skies of the Abyss Demonic King swept its huge figure over the walls of Nolan City. Following the Demon King was a large flock of Demonic Birdn. Apart from Grisbane’s legions of demons, there were a large number of Bone Dragon Knights.
Before the Beastn defenders on the wall could find their bows and arrows, they were knocked down by the descending demons. The Beastn on the ground were busy withdrawing into the city. How could they find the opportunity to defend the walls? When the Beastman Army returned to the city, the remaining walls of Nolan City had basically fallen into the hands of the demons.
Among the retreating horde of Beastn, two figures in brown cloaks had infiltrated them. The Beatn Army who were busy making their way back didn’t realize that that there were two different people in their troops. They were rushing to go back to the city and didn’t have ti to check if there were outsiders amongst them.
The gates of Nolan City had been destroyed as early as when the Beastn attacked the city. After the demons captured the walls of Nolan City, they quickly set up temporary cannon platforms. They planned to bomb the Beastman Army from a higher position.
The slave market square was already a ss. Slave traders have complete disregard for the slaves and found their own way to escape. When Wolfman Commander Harington who ca here to kill the slaves arrived, all the other slave traders had disappeared, leaving only the slaves behind.
Apart from the slaves, only two mysterious n in brown cloaks remained. The slave traders brought their own transfer magic scroll which could only accommodate one person to cope with this difficult situation.
“These guys run faster than us Wolfn. They’re really... The two of you with your cloaks on, you’re not foreign spies are you?”
Bella couldn’t understand the Beastman language and she was too lazy to care about what the Wolfman had said. Emily had sneaked in with her. Emily, who knew the layout of Nolan City, was her first choice to show them the way.
“Are you deaf? Why don’t you answer Harrington’s question? Quickly... “
A Wolfman soldier ca forward to ask them but before he had finished speaking, a black demonic claw pierced his chest. The hapless Wolfman soldier’s body withered like it had been sucked dry. The human slaves had never seen such a horrible scene before. They were so scared that they buried their heads on the ground and didn’t dare to watch.
“Monster... troops... You’re from those outside...”
Harrington didn’t even have the courage to face Bella. He didn’t carry out the orders from Wolf King Springhall and ran to the center of the city. The Wolfman squad saw their commander running and fled as well. They weren’t as lucky as Commander Harrington. The demons who occupied the city walls had assembled their temporary fort.
Several rounds of cannons accurately hit the Beastman Army in the slave square and a large number of Skeleton soldiers were headed in their direction. The Wolfman troops who ford the line of defense had already split up.
“Don’t worry. I am a Holy Knight. Miss Emily, the daughter of Duke Brandon entrusted to save you.”
Bella and Emily dropped their cloaks at the sa ti, allowing the human slaves to see them clearly. Bella’s Holy Knight armor made of gold was very conspicuous. Her demonic hand had turned back to normal. If it weren’t for the withered Wolfman body that still remained on the ground, the horrible scene just now seed to have never happened.
Emily was wearing the garnts a Duchess would wear. It was also gold and matched Bella’s gold armor, except for the dark scarf around her neck which felt a little out of place. Looking at Bella’s proud expression, Emily felt helpless. Her slender neck was wrapped with a black collar specially made by the Demon King.
If this thing was seen by others, Emily probably wouldn’t be able to get married in this life, although her current situation was sort of the sa thing. Thinking of this, she subconsciously stretched out her hand over the scarf, deeply fearing that a sudden gust of wind would expose her secret.
“The Holy Cross, Holy Knight...”
“Thanks to the protection of the Radiant God, we have seen the light...”
“Honorable Holy Knight, there are many skeleton soldiers marching over...”
After seeing the Holy Cross inlaid in Bella’s breastplate, the captured slave won and children looked as if they had seen their savior. Emily looked away, apparently disgusted with Bella’s acting. The Demon Army occupying the commanding posts at the city wall fired the cannons wildly into Nolan City.
Bella was dressed in a gold armor as she wandered around the square. None of the projectiles hit her. Her behavior was too grandiose. This was an extraordinary ti. The rescued human slave girls didn’t care to find out whether her behavior made sense or not. They had even ignored the mysterious demonic claw from earlier.
“I’m going to hold them back. Go quickly! Emily will take you to a safe place.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Bella took her shield and headed in the direction of the skeleton soldiers, leaving the humans an imposing figure. Many of the human slave girls were moved to tears. This was a real knight–the courage of a single person facing tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers deserved to be told.
“Honorable Holy Knight, will you tell us your na...”
“Bellina. You don’t have to rember . This might be my last battle.”
Under Emily’s command, the slaves retreated in the direction they had planned. The Beastman soldiers along the way had been cleared in advance by the demons. Escaping safely wasn’t a problem since there were many demons hidden around to protect them.
Bella had basically obtained the most beautiful captives in Nolan City. Bella regarded these remaining slaves as a favor done for Emily. Emily, who owed her this favor, could only use her body to repay Bella in the future.
“Bellina, you’re acting...”
“Emily, don’t think about running away. The thing around your neck is proof of my possession. My people are all around here. If you disappear, none of them will be spared.”
“Who said... I’m going to run away? Bellina, don’t ss around. I’ll listen to you.”
“Co to my room tonight naked. Otherwise, you won’t be allowed to wear anything in the future.”
Bella flirted with her in a low whisper as Emily walked past her. She quickly left Bella’s side, fearing that Bella would co up with new tricks to tease her if she left a little later.
The skeleton soldiers saw at a glance that this Holy Knight covered in gold armor was their Demon King, Bella. Of course, the play still had to be finished. The skeleton soldiers didn’t hesitate and imdiately surrounded Bella. Looking from a distance, one could only see the backs of the skeletons surrounding Bella, but not Bella herself.
