<h4>Ch. 2649: Phantom! Sudden Strike (3)</h4>


    The city lord boarded the city wall and looked out at the devil army outside the city. Suddenly, he found


    that several fast and untraceable gures were shuttling back and forth among countless troops.


    “City lord? Who are those people?” The soldiers in the bloody battle looked at the chaotic devil army in


    disbelief.


    They did not see therge army of the alliance. They did not even know the identity of the other party.


    Shen Yanxiao had once issued a strict order. Before the decisive battle, no one was allowed to ght headon with the devil army. After the rst confrontation in the Desert City, no group had ever vited Shen


    Yanxiao’s order. Every city had relied mainly on the defensive war of attrition. Not mentioning Shen


    Yanxiao’s orders, it was impossible for the soldiers in their city to ght against the devil army alone in the


    rst ce. With the strength of the Devil Race, it could be said that it was easy to destroy the troops in the


    city. They simply could not cause such a great disturbance within the devil army.


    “I don’t know.” The city lord clenched his teeth. Even though he did not know where those allies suddenly


    jumped out from to ght the devils, he knew one thing very well. No matter who they were, the other


    party hade to help them.


    “Immediately issue orders: the city soldiers stationed on the wall will repel all devils in the city; gunners,


    Magicians, Archers, don’t stop attacking! Since allies havee to help us, we can’t just let them ght


    alone. Everyone, give me a good ght, even at the risk of your lives!” Their blood started to boil; no one


    wanted to retreat without a ght. Now that their allies were ghting to the death against the enemies,


    they could not just stand idly by. Even if they could not go out of the city to support them, they would


    inict more damage to the devils in the city.


    At onemand, the soldiers from top to bottom were as excited as if they had been injected with


    chicken blood. They didn’t want to leave at all. They wanted to ght the devils to the end, to avenge their


    brothers and theirrades!


    In an instant, the whole city’s momentum had been greatly improved. The long-ranged attacks be


    more erce; Knights, Swordsmen, and Priests began to pour into the wall and repel the devil to protect


    theirrades.


    The devil army outside the city was in a mess. They had no idea what had happened.


    Originally, they were about to break through the city in front of them; but then, several killing gods


    suddenly appeared from who knew where and brought about a terrible disaster for their army.


    All the devils were in a state of confusion and disorder; the other party’s speed was so great that they


    didn’t even have the chance to catch the opponent’s shadow.


    These several mysterious gures had caused the devil troops, which had run rampant in the Barren Land


    without any obstruction, to encounter the worst nightmare in history.


    The other party was obviously targeting theirmanders.


    The rst thing that made the devils realize that there had been a sudden strike was theirmander in


    charge of directing the battle. His head had been cut o in front of their eyes in a ash and his sturdy


    body fell straight down from his demon beast’s back; the ring blood left the devil soldiers, who were


    waiting to break through the city gate,pletely startled.


    Despite being guarded by such arge army, theirmander, right in front of their eyes, was beheaded,


    and none of them could nd a single sign of the other party.


    Chaos ensued. Immediately afterwards, all the devils wearing the badges of high-ranking military ocers


    were hunted and killed. One by one, they were decapitated. The devils were thoroughly shocked. They


    could not nd the killer. The only things they could see were the lightning-fast shadows ashing among


    their ranks.
