On the other side, at the Sky Patrol Department’s station.

Hooves clattered and thundered from all over the city as messengers hastened to deliver news one after another.

Inside the great hall,

"Reporting to the General, Langya Mountain has been sealed off, your subordinate was unable to meet with the Mountain Master of Langya Mountain!"

"This humble one visited the Four Seas Gang, the Gang Leader had departed the day before yesterday to go inside the border, and many of those fellows have hidden themselves outside of the city."

"Your subordinate here, did indeed meet with the Dragon Sect Master of the Dragon Tiger Sect, but he had a message to relay to the General."

"What message?" In the great hall, Xiang Qingtian’s eyes glinted with a cold light.

"The Dragon Sect Master said, the Dragon Tiger Sect can dispatch disciples to assist in defending the Prefecture, but they require something from the General’s possession, the Yuntao Pill!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Qingtian’s eyebrows shot up, and he laughed in anger, "Such a big appetite, daring to covet this General’s assets."

The Yuntao Pill is an elixir that aids Taoist Soldier Realm Cultivators in condensing their Tao Fruit. This pill is the Sky Patrol Department’s exclusive secret concoction. Xiang Qingtian had spent a huge number of Contribution Points to exchange for one from the Government Administrative Office, intending to use it when making a breakthrough later on. That old fogey from the Dragon Tiger Sect must have guessed that he possessed such a pill and wanted to use it as a condition for aid.

Thinking this, Xiang Qingtian was seething with rage in his heart.

At times like these, these people were still thinking about their own interests.

He estimated that if these people’s foundations weren’t in White Emperor City, they would have likely already fled with their troops.

Now they were still playing such games with him, damn it all.

Under a collapsed nest, there can be no intact eggs.

Grinding his teeth fiercely, he said,

"Give it!"

"As long as that old fool is willing to take action, I’ll give him the pill!"

"Yes!"

Someone took the order and ran out.

At this moment, Xiang Qingtian’s eyes had the fierce look of a tiger as he stared at his officers, his voice unusually solemn.

"Gentlemen, the Demon Cult’s army is urgently gathering all Demons, preparing to assemble all their power for an assault. This is completely different from the previous probing; this time it is a battle of life and death, we have no way out."

"Gentlemen, what say you?"

"Kill!" The Officers roared in unison.

"Convey my order, open the arsenal!"

"Order the Ten Divisions’ troops, including the Taming Horse Department, to all be armored and ready for battle!"

"Understood!"

Inside the Sky Patrol Department, voices shouted commands.

The troops from the ten divisions under the jurisdiction of The Overseers all received the orders and one by one prepared to be armored for battle.

At the same time, inside the Sky Patrol Department, treasure light flourished as the arsenal was opened, with divine weapons, mechanical wedges, and talismans being summoned out.

Among them, there were even three sealed Taoist Soldiers!

At White Emperor City Prefecture, at this moment, all its resources were being mobilized in preparation for a last stand.

Meanwhile, in various places around the Prefecture, several groups of people observed all of these preparations.

On Langya Mountain, Xiahou Yuan stood with hands behind his back, gazing from the mountaintop at the city where troops surged on one side, and people were bustling to evacuate on the other, his eyes flickering deep and dark.

"Colonel Xiang really is a benevolent man!"

At that moment, a figure made a few leaping bounds from behind him, landing a zhang away to present himself, bending forward with a fist cupped in the other hand.

"Mountain Master, the troops are ready!"

"Wait!" Xiahou Yuan uttered a single word.

"Yes!"

At the moment, in a valley below Langya Mountain, the gleam of blue armor shimmered under the moonlight, severe and chilling.

One could see three thousand armored soldiers hiding in the valley, each a strong and formidable fighter, only waiting for an order to be given.

And these were the privately raised troops of Xiahou Yuan!

The way of the military is to build momentum, to borrow from it, to rise with the wind and break through the stronghold.

This man wanted to use this momentum to break through to the Tao Fruit Realm!

Elsewhere, at the Dragon Tiger Sect, the Sect Leader Long Cang sat in a hall, looking at the Mountain Patrol Military Officer standing below, laughing heartily with his white brows flying up.

"Unexpectedly, Colonel Xiang is so generous."

"The Dragon Sect Master cannot then break his promise."

"Tell your General to rest assured, when those Demon Heads appear, I will make my move!"

The Mountain Patrol Military Officer responded woodenly and turned to leave.

Long Cang stroked his beard, displaying a satisfied expression. He didn’t expect that Xiang Qingtian would really agree.

Tao Yun Pill.

What a good item!

He must be in pain for giving it up, huh huh, it also counts as retaliation for the last time that old scoundrel tricked me.

Just as several people harbored ill intentions, outside the Northern City, a series of urgent horse hooves sounded, approaching from afar.

Soon, a startling call was heard.

"Report, the Demon Cult’s army has set out from Fengkang County, only a hundred miles away!"

The voice grew louder as it approached.

Then, a galloping horse dashed through the city gate, with the caller’s voice repeatedly echoing in the night sky.

It was a Scout from the Sky Patrol Department!

This voice resounded in the ears of everyone in Northern City, their hearts suddenly tightening, and then it was like flipping a switch, the next second, shouts filled the air.

"Armored up, to the city walls!"

"Mystic Armor Team One follow my command..."

"What is the Gongtian Bureau doing, get the arrows..."

"........."

All troops within the city, taut like drawn bowstrings, under the lead of their respective Colonels, climbed the city walls in armor, moved the mechanisms, sallied forth...

The oppressive black of night was suffocating, and an atmosphere of sternness made everyone’s expression grave.

In the windswept night, everyone stood ready, staring at the dark expanse to the north, and as the alarming cries of running horses continued, their breathing grew heavier.

"Report, the enemy is eighty miles away!"

"Report, the Demon Cult’s army has appeared at White Dragon Gorge!"

"Report......"

With each alarming report slicing through the night sky.

On the distant plains, a dark mass of figures appeared like a flood, spreading and advancing!

At that moment,

"Thud thud thud"

The sound of war drums began to rise.

The urgent beats drumming against everyone’s hearts.

And as time passed, the thunderous rumbling from the distant plains became clearer and clearer, the ground beginning to tremble.

Twenty miles, fifteen miles...

As the distance grew shorter.

Shouting broke out atop the city walls,

"Prepare, Gongtian Bureau!"

Above the city walls, several two-meter long huge iron bows were drawn, fitted with thick-bodied crimson arrows, made to penetrate the defences of Second Realm warriors. Crafted and blood-refined from Demon Blood by the Sky Patrol Department, their lethal power was formidable, with a range of several miles.

But just as the bows were about to be drawn and arrows ready to be released.

"Hold on!"

"What’s that at the front?"

Someone exclaimed, their eyes filled with shock and suspicion.

They saw, at the very front of the Demon Cult’s army, carts carrying black iron cages.

And within those cages, locked up were one civilian after another.

Those civilians, like penned lambs, wore eyes full of terror.

When they caught sight of the distant lights and silhouettes on the walls, grasping for their last straw of salvation, they screamed for help.

Their voices reached White Emperor City, and lit a fury in everyone’s face.

"Damn it, these beasts!"

"Using civilians as human shields!"

And at that moment,

One could see a Human Demon laughing heartily as he dragged out a desperately crying woman, and right in front of all the soldiers, he brutally devoured the woman as Blood Food.

Such a ferociously cruel scene completely enraged all the soldiers.

"Fuck you!"

"Mystic Armor Team One, follow me, Old Qin, out of the city – kill!"
