The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
Chapter 2649: Phantom! Sudden Strike (3)

The city lord boarded the city wall and looked out at the devil army outside the city. Suddenly, he found that several fast and untraceable figures were shuttling back and forth among countless troops.

"City lord? Who are those people?" The soldiers in the bloody battle looked at the chaotic devil army in disbelief.

They did not see the large army of the alliance. They did not even know the identity of the other party.

Shen Yanxiao had once issued a strict order. Before the decisive battle, no one was allowed to fight head-on with the devil army. After the first confrontation in the Desert City, no group had ever violated Shen Yanxiao's order. Every city had relied mainly on the defensive war of attrition. Not mentioning Shen Yanxiao's orders, it was impossible for the soldiers in their city to fight against the devil army alone in the first place. With the strength of the Devil Race, it could be said that it was easy to destroy the troops in the city. They simply could not cause such a great disturbance within the devil army.

"I don't know." The city lord clenched his teeth. Even though he did not know where those allies suddenly jumped out from to fight the devils, he knew one thing very well. No matter who they were, the other party had come to help them.

"Immediately issue orders: the city soldiers stationed on the wall will repel all devils in the city; gunners, Magicians, Archers, don't stop attacking! Since allies have come to help us, we can't just let them fight alone. Everyone, give me a good fight, even at the risk of your lives!" Their blood started to boil; no one wanted to retreat without a fight. Now that their allies were fighting to the death against the enemies, they could not just stand idly by. Even if they could not go out of the city to support them, they would inflict more damage to the devils in the city.

At one command, the soldiers from top to bottom were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They didn't want to leave at all. They wanted to fight the devils to the end, to avenge their brothers and their comrades!

In an instant, the whole city's momentum had been greatly improved. The long-ranged attacks become more fierce; Knights, Swordsmen, and Priests began to pour into the wall and repel the devil to protect their comrades.

The devil army outside the city was in a mess. They had no idea what had happened.

Originally, they were about to break through the city in front of them; but then, several killing gods suddenly appeared from who knew where and brought about a terrible disaster for their army.

All the devils were in a state of confusion and disorder; the other party's speed was so great that they didn’t even have the chance to catch the opponent's shadow.

These several mysterious figures had caused the devil troops, which had run rampant in the Barren Land without any obstruction, to encounter the worst nightmare in history.

The other party was obviously targeting their commanders.

The first thing that made the devils realize that there had been a sudden strike was their commander in charge of directing the battle. His head had been cut off in front of their eyes in a flash and his sturdy body fell straight down from his demon beast's back; the glaring blood left the devil soldiers, who were waiting to break through the city gate, completely startled.

Despite being guarded by such a large army, their commander, right in front of their eyes, was beheaded, and none of them could find a single sign of the other party.

Chaos ensued. Immediately afterwards, all the devils wearing the badges of high-ranking military officers were hunted and killed. One by one, they were decapitated. The devils were thoroughly shocked. They could not find the killer. The only things they could see were the lightning-fast shadows flashing among their ranks.
