Chapter 2765 Vicious Methods
At this moment, Immortal Mingke missed Qing Shudi Jun even more. If it were here, it could use a few of its best old trees and vines to bind up all these messy things.
However, before this batch of black locusts could even reach the top of the wall, dense swarms of plants emerged from the cracks in the wall, spreading from the base to covering the entire wall in just over ten breaths. These vines were as thick as pythons and covered with sharp thorns. The black locusts were quickly entangled and strangled by them after only a few steps.
Demon-eating vine.
As the second layer of defense for Panlong City, they are only now beginning to appear.
Because they were products of a secret realm, these Demon-Devouring Vines were even more powerful and ruthless than their counterparts in reality. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Black Moths were sucked dry, leaving only their outer shells. Perhaps finding the taste unpleasant or indigestible, they simply threw the shells down below the city walls.
Upon seeing this, Bai Zhantian gave a cold smile and turned to give the order:
Release the corpse puppet.
Geng Yue, who was behind him, took out a cloth bag, untied the red thread at the top of the bag, shook it a few times by the bottom, and poured out hundreds of corpses from the bag.
This happened very abruptly; the corpses were piled up in layers, and suddenly a towering mountain of corpses appeared before his eyes.
Upon seeing this from the Panlong City wall, He Yue clenched his fists: "Those are...those are our fallen soldiers!"
As if sensing his gaze, Geng Yue looked up and met his eyes, her smile full of malice.
These remains are those of the allied soldiers who perished in the ambush of several demon squads. The demons have collected them all; they certainly don't have any good intentions.
Everyone had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Geng Yueshen stomped her foot on the ground and shushed, "Get up, everyone!"
What happened next sent chills down the spines of everyone on the city wall:
Gengyue God.
As soon as he finished speaking, the corpses on the ground moved. At first, their movements were stiff, as if they were waking from a deep sleep, but after a few breaths, they were able to roll over and get up. They all looked at Geng Yue Shen, as if waiting for his command.
Geng Yue smiled with satisfaction and pointed towards the Panlong City wall: "Go! Kill them all!"
The dead men immediately turned around and ran towards the Panlong City Wall.
They had all died in various ways: some had their intestines ripped open, some had their limbs severed, some were covered in cuts, and some had half their bodies burned... Basically, aside from those with their heads smashed, the Heavenly Demon brought over everything he could. But they felt nothing amiss. As long as they could move, they would follow Geng Yue's orders and charge towards Panlong City, towards their former comrades!
They ran with faltering steps, far less fast and agile than the black moths. But strangely, the imps released by the blue-faced demon ignored them; the black dragon statue didn't breathe fire on them either—
The two city gate beasts actually acknowledged their presence.
Even the stone figures and beasts released by the Earth Mother's avatars did not attack them. Apart from being hit by cannon fire and crossbow bolts from the battlefield, there were almost no obstacles in the path of these dead men.
The Heavenly Demon adjusted its strategy, sending swarms of Black Moths hiding behind the dead as they advanced towards the city gate. The Black Dragon statue turned its head several times in this direction, but after seeing the allied forces' corpses, it turned its head away again, without exhaling.
The soldiers on the city wall felt a chill run down their spines and were completely baffled.
Why is this happening?
Ling Jinbao also asked the little stone man, "Why don't you attack!"
A red light flashed in the eyes of the little stone golem clone: "Don't fight your own people."
“They are not…” Ling Jinbao was interrupted by Immortal Mingke halfway through his sentence, “They were already identified as one of our own people. The Earth Mother Plain and this secret realm cannot distinguish their status!”
He had realized that these soldiers, while alive, had entered and exited the Panlong Secret Realm and the Earth Mother Plain several times, and were identified as friendly forces by both places. After their deaths, they were driven by the Heavenly Demons, but the Earth Mother Plain and the Panlong Secret Realm could not distinguish between them; they only knew that the soldiers carried the aura of allies, and therefore could not be targets!
This is the trouble caused by the absence of the Earth Mother and the Nine Nether Emperor.
Immortal Mingke swiftly ordered the soldiers on the city gate: "Shoot them! Quickly!"
The allied forces were taken aback, and even the usually decisive and swift Black Armor Army hesitated for a moment.
These bloodstained undead below were originally their comrades-in-arms. They had shared a meal together yesterday and fought side by side just fifteen minutes ago. Some of them were even their childhood friends and relatives. Faced with these familiar faces, the thought of suddenly having to turn their blades against them was, even though reason prevailed, simply, simply impossible.
"They are no longer living people, but corpse puppets driven by the Heavenly Demon, who see all living beings as enemies!" Bao Chihai shouted sternly. "Fire arrows quickly, or they will show no mercy to us!"
Ling Jinbao roared, "Make your move! Put this score against the Heavenly Demon!"
He Yue turned a siege crossbow around, gritted his teeth, aimed at the few corpse puppets that had rushed to the city walls the fastest, and forcefully pressed the trigger. One of these was his adjutant, who had served him faithfully for eleven years and had also bravely sacrificed himself in the recent battle against the Heavenly Demons.
Now, He Yue is going to destroy his body with his own hands!
The heavy arrow shot out and with a "crack," blasted the corpse puppets into mangled flesh, splattering blood all over the ground.
With him leading the way, even though the soldiers were heartbroken, they turned their guns and cannons on their former comrades with red eyes.
But by this time, dozens of corpse puppets, leading black moths, had already climbed down to the city walls and scaled them.
As expected, the Devouring Vine did not attack the corpse puppet. As the familiar faces drew closer and closer, the soldiers could only grit their teeth and thrust their weapons down at them.
Below the city, the four Fallen Spirit Generals were finally blasted apart by the Green-Faced Demon and the Black Dragon Stone Sculpture, scattering into a pile of rubble. Before the green flames on their bodies had completely burned out, Jia Loutian waved his hand, and tiny specks of green light emerged from the rubble, flying in a line into the back of the last Fallen Spirit General beneath the city gate.
This creature, empowered, shrank rather than grew larger, and its giant hammer emitted a dense, almost tangible, azure light. It roared to the sky and unleashed a triple strike at the city gate, each blow more ferocious than the last!
The battering ram's power was less than one percent of Panlong City's; even the city's thick and sturdy gate was smashed into pieces. All three hammer blows landed on the same spot, and after the explosion, a crater the size of a millstone was smashed into the gate!
To the imposing city gate, such a small hole is utterly insignificant.
However, its emergence is of great significance to both the offensive and defensive sides.
The allied forces felt their scalps tingle and their backs turn cold; the Heavenly Demon, on the other hand, was overjoyed.
It worked!
They tested the strength of Panlong City Gate!
This is the baseline. So, all they need to do is increase their efforts based on this, and they'll be able to break in!
Yang Sheng swiftly ordered the entire army: "Assemble behind the gate and prepare for battle!"
