This Journey To The West Is So Terrifying Chapter 413

[ … words ]

They were known as the Royal Guards, naturally regarding the Demon Emperor as their ultimate idol. Now that Feng Jiu had come to inspect them, each one stood tall and proud, displaying their best to the highest commander.

“Warriors, the Heavenly Court’s determination to annihilate our Demon Clan is unyielding, and they have come out of their nest with the intention to destroy our Demon Court. Will you agree?” Feng Jiu shouted loudly.

“We do not agree, we do not agree!” Everyone cried out in unison, their voices loud and resounding, echoing across the land.

Feng Jiu and the others nodded to themselves in secret. Up to this point, the Royal Guards indeed resembled a formidable army, but the so-called reputation of a strong army couldn’t be claimed merely by wanting it—it had to be spoken for with military achievements on the battlefield.

“Then use the weapons in your hands to tell the Heavenly Court that the Demon Clan will never be slaves!”

With that command, the Royal Guards set out magnificently toward the battlefield, while the citizens of the Demon Capital sent them off. These people had come from hard times and did not wish to return to those days of uncertainty.

Once the Royal Guards left the Demon Capital, they marched day and night. The Demon Kings with profound mana even conjured clouds and mist as they headed towards the battlefield in the East.

And on the eastern edge of Luzhou in the North, a defensive line stretching thousands of miles had already been constructed. Countless monsters shuttled across the land, constantly altering the terrain with the tools in their hands. This place would be the first line of defense against the invasion of the Heavenly Court and was also destined to be the most vicious battleground.

“Come on, everyone, put in more effort! Those dogs from the Heavenly Court won’t give us much time. Each fortification we build means one less death among our people,” shouted a Little Monster with a megaphone, cheering on the construction crew.

Monsters like this one appeared at intervals, holding megaphones and relentlessly disseminating the policies and philosophies of the Demon Court, boosting the morale of the laboring group.

This was something quite unfamiliar to many in the Demon Clan, yet they could feel an enthusiasm for life from it.

A fresh wind began sweeping from the Demon Court, starting to change the lives and habits of the Demon Clan.

When the Royal Guards arrived at the position, what entered their field of vision was the bustling construction activity.

Compared to the oppressive atmosphere they had imagined for a battlefield, there was instead a cheerful mood here, with countless monsters vigorously working to the rhythm of their coordinated chants.

A robust vitality impressed upon anyone who cast a glance.

“The Royal Guards are here!” A sharp-eyed monster spotted the mighty army approaching and couldn’t help but shout.

The attention of all the workers was instantly drawn to the sight. After all, for the Demon Clan of today, with the assistance of Bailu Academy, information was more accessible than ever, so whatever happened in the Demon Capital spread throughout Luzhou in the North in no time.

Thus, they had long heard of the renown of the Royal Guards, chosen from among all the young demons of Luzhou in the North and subjected to such prolonged devilish training, they were undoubtedly the ace military force of the Demon Clan.

While the Royal Guards sized up these monsters, they too were sizing up this army known as the personal guards of the Demon Emperor.

Unlike the armies of old, this newly established army was full of life and vigor; their eyes were not murky as the soldiers of the Demon Clan had once been, which seemed like dark abysses, but rather they were incredibly clear, flickering with the light of hope.

Their attitude towards the common monsters was also very different. If it were the Demon Clan soldiers of the past, those monsters would have scattered long ago, sometimes proving to be even more ruthless and unprincipled than the people of the Heavenly Court.

This troop always looked at those around them with kind eyes, and if they saw someone in trouble, they would take the initiative to help.

Some of the monsters had lived for many years and had seen countless soldiers, but only the soldiers of today’s army truly recognized and identified internally with people like themselves.

“Great Saint, you’ve returned!” From afar came the voice of the Tiger Demon, and the Demon Kings who had stayed behind came in a grand procession to the battlefield to welcome the arrival of the Shituo King.

The battle at the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons had firmly established the position of the Great Saint who moves mountains. Now, all the Demon Kings were willingly obedient to him, always regarding him as their leader.

Seeing his comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side, the Shituo King also revealed a hearty smile and said, “It looks like you’ve all recovered nicely.”

After some time to recuperate, the Tiger Demon and his peers had shaken off the injuries and exhaustion from the previous great battle, each appearing to be in high spirits.

“We’ve already recovered. If they hadn’t kept stopping us, we would have charged into the Heavenly Court’s encampment for another good fight,” one of the Demon Kings said with a laugh.

After the previous battle in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, they had overcome their previous decline. The fear of the Heavenly Court had vanished like smoke in thin air, and now each one of them was eager to teach a lesson to those who had invaded their homeland.

Seeing the strong will to fight in this group, the Shituo King couldn’t help but nod his head. The morale of the troops was reliable; after the previous brutal battle, they had fully grown into qualified soldiers and no longer fought haphazardly like undisciplined mercenaries.

“That’s good. This time, the upper echelons have also sent a large army. Sooner or later, we’ll show the people from the Heavenly Court just how formidable we are. By the way, because of the previous achievements, I’ve brought quite a lot of supplies this time. You can send someone to claim them later. Although conditions in the newly established Demon Court are still harsh, we won’t let you go into battle on an empty stomach.”

The group of people were chatting and laughing heartily at the battlefield, and the Royal Guards also put down their baggage. Guided by the local monsters, they began to build their own camp, organize their equipment, inspect the surroundings, and formulate battle plans. Everything was done in an orderly fashion, astonishing those around them.

“My goodness, worthy of being the Emperor’s Royal Guards, this is truly exceptional,” the All Demon Kings were not ordinary either, and they quickly recognized the prowess of the Royal Guards.

After observing these men, they realized their previous way of fighting was almost a joke, having no other strength but to lead from the front.

Yet these men had truly mastered the art of war. Commands were given, and the previously somewhat chaotic positions became orderly. All the defense structures were arranged in a unique pattern, creating a kind of unique beauty.

“No wonder they can become the ace of the Demon Clan; I am impressed by these techniques,” one said.

A few Demon Kings, seeing the gap between them and the others, couldn’t help but talk among themselves, their eyes flashing with envy.

“Don’t envy them too much. In the future, you will also have a chance. The Emperor has long been planning to establish an academy specifically for cultivating military talent. You chaps will all be called up for further study. Once you’ve completed your studies, you too can be like this,” the Shituo King said with a smile, comforting the few.
