The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
Chapter 2716: Retreat of the Devil Race (1)

With the furtive support of several major main cities, The Rising Sun City finally got rid of its predicament and the alliance soldiers who had eaten their fill went out to kill the enemy on the battlefield even more courageously.

Half a month passed and the fighting between the two sides became deadlocked.

The forces of the two sides were completely equal; neither could gain an edge.

The Rising Sun City's defensive shield was still as tough as ever. After the alliance troops returned to the city, the devil army could not break this layer of shield, even with all their efforts. Satan and the twelve devil generals tried to break through The Rising Sun City's last line of defense, but they still could not break it.

The devil army began to rest and stopped struggling with the protective shield of The Rising Sun City.

After a month and a half of fighting, there was a sudden period of calm.

The devil army pulled back and retreated from the artillery's attack range. The artillery, which had not rested for a month and a half, finally stopped its endless firing, and the gunners, who were already somewhat disoriented from the battle, had time to have a good rest at last.

It was just that this rest could still only be done on the wall. They didn’t know when the devils would launch the next wave of attacks, so they had to stick to their positions.

The soldiers patrolling on the city wall were watching the movement of the devil army day and night. The too-peaceful battlefield left everyone on edge. They were all speculating about the next move of the devil army.

The retreat of the Devil Race left the previous battlefield vacant. The battlefield, which had been covered up by the devil army, for the first time showed its true face in front of all the people.

The potholed earth was full of amputated limbs. After soaking in blood for a long time, it had turned a reddish black. The bodies of the alliance soldiers and the devil soldiers alike covered the whole battlefield. Looking down from the wall of The Rising Sun City, the sight in front of them was enough to make people have nightmares.

It was as if hell had revealed itself to the world. Everything in sight was filled with the smell of death.

Between the devil army and The Rising Sun City, the mountains of corpses and those heads that trembled slightly in the wind and tumbled to the ground were so eerie.

The high intensity of the battle had made everyone's nerves jump to the extreme; they had no time to pay attention to the battlefield.

Today's brief truce had enabled them to see thoroughly the place where they had fought.

How many of the corpses that fell to the ground were their relatives and friends, and how much of their blood and sweat did the dark red earth engulf?

The appalling battlefield had somewhat suppressed the spirits of the alliance army in The Rising Sun City. They dared not look at it, but they had to force themselves to look.

Only by seeing all these tragic events could they remember the lives lost in the battle and the sadness brought to them by the Devil Race.

Within the City Lord Residence of The Rising Sun City, Xiu sat beside Shen Yanxiao. The members of Phantom and key members of the alliance army all gathered here.

At each respite, Xiu would bring these people together to analyze the war and plan for the next wave of fighting.

“Why did the devils issue a ceasefire at this time? This is not like the Devil Race." Yaksha frowned. The retreat of the Devil Race did not bring them any joy, but only made them more confused about their plans.

As a former ally of the devils, Yaksha knew Satan's character too well. He was arrogant and one who couldn’t see eye-to-eye with anyone. Satan did not know what a strategic retreat was.

In the previous battle between gods and devils, even when the Devil Race was violently suppressed by the alliance army, Satan did not mean to retreat at all, and a ceasefire didn’t occur at that time. But now, this impossible thing happened before their eyes.

Yaksha's question was everyone's question.
