<h4>Chapter 606 Chapter579-The Stubborn Defense of Storm City </h4>


    As the lord of Storm City, he understood that he had to do everything within his power.


    "I''ll head to the city walls immediately to fend off the demons'' assault. If you find this situation too perilous, feel free to retreat. You''ve already provided ample assistance. Asking you to stay in Storm City and fight with all your might would be too much. You''vepleted your quest and may return to the capital of the Empire."


    Duke Arsena didn''t expect Natasha to stay and defend Storm City with him, seeing the dire circumstances.


    It was clear to him that they stood no chance against a Devil''s onught with just the two of them.


    In such a situation, Duke Arsena could only suggest that Natasha leave first, given her status as a guard general sent by the Northern Myst Empire.


    She had the option to leave without anyplications.


    However, Natasha responded with a calm demeanor, "Do you think I''m the type to flee in the face of battle? Since I''vee to Storm City, I must ensure its safety. Beforeing here, I promised His Majesty the Emperor to secure Storm City''s safety. The security of Storm City is crucial for the entire Northern Myst Empire!"


    After her deration, Natasha promptly made her way to the walls of Storm City.


    With her resolve made clear, Duke Arsena wasted no more time either.


    Together, they reached the city walls, where they could see hordes of demons from the Dark Faction emerging non-stop from a portal outside Storm City.


    This time, the number of demons assaulting the city was even greater than before, as me Knight had dispatched all of his Servant Demons for this attack.


    me Knight was determined to ensure the sess of this assault.


    By his side was Kingserp, the architect of this wless n.


    Kingserp, gazing towards the city walls, spotted Duke Arsena and Natasha, two powerful figures from the Order Faction.


    A slight smile crept onto his face, believing his n had already seeded.


    "Great Lord of the Devils! As you can see, John is nowhere to be found on the city walls. This indicates that my n has been sessful. John is trapped in the Dark Realm, unable to thwart our assault on Storm City any longer! The city is yours for the taking!"


    After me Knight used his Detection spell to observe the situation within Storm City and confirmed John''s absence, he remained cautious.


    He was well aware of John''s formidable strength and the possibility that John might have concealed his presence.


    Thus, me Knight responded to Kingserp, "It seems our n has achieved some sess so far. However, we must not let our guard down until we have full control of Storm City. Come with me to the city''s center. Didn''t you mention there''s a control center for Storm City''s most powerful defensive array in Duke Arsena''s pce? I couldn''t find itst time, but with your help, I should be able to locate it this time."


    With me Knight''s insistence, Kingserp wasted no time and directed him to the location of the control center for the strongest defensive array.


    me Knight then teleported to the center of Storm City.


    He chose not to enter Duke Arsena''s pce directly, deducing that there were other defensive arrays surrounding the pce.


    Instead, me Knight summoned two ordinary demons and sent them towards Duke Arsena''s pce to test the defenses.


    The two demons collided directly with the transparent Defend Wall outside Duke Arsena''s pce and instantly turned to ash.


    "It seems the people of the Order Faction are not as foolish as we thought. They''ve reinforced the defenses of Storm City''s key structures upon their return. However, our n this time cannot fail! I will immediately destroy the defenses of Duke Arsena''s pce! Your task is to swiftly infiltrate the pce and locate the control center for the defensive array!"


    me Knight''s tone was very serious.


    He preferred not to enter the pce directly, suspecting traps might be inside.


    Thus, he tasked Kingserp with entering the pce, especially since the n was Kingserp''s idea, making him responsible for executing its most challenging part.


    Without hesitation, Kingserp entered Duke Arsena''s pce. Just as he did, Duke Arsena and Natasha arrived to intercept him.


    As a Devil, me Knight naturally wouldn''t allow them to hinder Kingserp''s mission.


    He summoned devil mes, creating an insurmountable wall of fire.


    "If you wish to ensure your safety, you must leave immediately! If you choose not to, do not me me for being ruthless!"


    me Knight didn''tunch an attack right away.


    He believed he could intimidate Duke Arsena and Natasha into retreating without the need for violence, especially considering he thought their strength was negligible without John''s assistance.


    However, the subsequent actions of Duke Arsena and Natasha took me Knight by surprise.


    Duke Arsena chose to attack me Knight directly, employing the Pdin''s most powerful skill, Holy Light Duel.


    The mighty power of Holy Light transformed into a dazzling beam, rushing towards me Knight at high speed.


    Despite being unprepared, me Knight remained unscathed, his strength far surpassing that of Duke Arsena.


    After Duke Arsena''s attack failed, he wasn''t particrly surprised.


    He had known from the start that his attack was unlikely to seed quickly.


    He also anticipated me Knight''s immediate counterattack, so he quickly moved to a safer distance.


    Natasha didn''t attack me Knight directly but instead supported Duke Arsena''s actions by providing him with an additional defensive shield while heunched his attack.


    Although the coordinated efforts of Duke Arsena and Natasha posed no threat to me Knight, they seeded in infuriating him.


    me Knight had a deep disdain for mortals who dared to attack him.


    Choosing to escte the situation, me Knight summoned several mid-tier demons to join him in swiftly eliminating Duke Arsena and Natasha.


    Faced with the onught of a Devil and mid-tier demons, Duke Arsena and Natasha found themselves in a grueling battle.


    Simrly, the other Order Faction guards defending Storm City were also engaged in desperatebat.


    The Order Faction guards were still far from their peak condition, as the aftermath of the Dark Faction''s recent assault on Storm City lingered, with less than a week having passed since the turmoil unfolded.


    The continuous attacks on Storm City not only surprised the NPCs within the city but also astonished the yers.


    They hadn''t anticipated that Storm City, a main hub for yers, would be attacked twice in such quick session.


    Furthermore, the nature of these attacks was particrly difficult to deal with, leading to a surge of discussions on the gaming forums about the situation in Storm City.


    This time around, the likelihood of top-tier yers rallying to Storm City''s defense was slim, given the lingering discontent from the previous siege, where many felt the rewards did not match their contributions.


    In the bewildering maze of their current predicament, Adam and Blue Sea felt utterly adrift, grappling with the situation''splexity.


    Desperate for a guiding light, they reached out to John, hoping for his intervention.


    However, in a twist that seemed all too familiar, their attempts to establishmunication were thwarted, leaving them isted once more in their hour of need.


    Given the situation, Adam and Blue Sea had no choice but to rely on the members of their respective guilds to help resolve the crisis in Storm City.


    However, among their guild members, only a few were yers of significant strength.


    The vast majority of their yers were of medium or lower levels, which significantly limited their capacity to contribute effectively to the defense of the city against such formidable foes as a Devil and mid-tier demons.
