A team was rapidly advancing on the city wall.
One could see the coordination of all members within this team; it was quite complete.
The total number even reached 2,000, which was quite a lot in this area. These soldiers were all at the third level, with some even at the fourth level possessing treasures.
However, not all fourth-level members possessed treasures; after all, there wouldn't be enough treasures to share among so many people.
Combatants from various churches could be seen among them.
The fourth-level warriors among them likely didn't possess precious treasures, but rather were elevated to this level through divine power within their churches.
Of course, their progress would stop there.
They were led by a captain, a fifth-level general who possessed treasures.
Next to him was Sofia.
They were heading to a fortress node for support, having set out at dawn.
A long line stretched across the city wall.
Connecting such a long column on the wall might seem a bit too dangerous, but for soldiers like them, who frequently traveled across the walls, it wasn't a problem at all.
Even if a demon suddenly attacked, they could quickly organize a defense.
Just as Greyfar had said before.
I hope Alka and his team will temporarily separate during this stalemate. It's a shame to have such powerful individuals gathered together.
Among them, Sofia was temporarily assigned to this team.
For such powerful individuals, it was impossible to treat them as ordinary soldiers. They were all like a team's staff officers.
And because of Sofia's meteor-like figure and incredible speed, he was assigned to this support team sent elsewhere.
As they marched along the city wall, they could already see a fortress node in the distance.
At the foot of a hillside, two enormous hammer demons could even be seen advancing towards the fortress.
"Hurry up! Demon Hunter Fortress 6 is in danger now," the captain declared.
A long section of the wall belonged to the Demon Hunter Fortress, and each of the smaller forts along it was designated Demon Hunter Fortress X.
All the soldiers sped up their march at the command, weapons drawn and ready for battle as they advanced.
Such a long column naturally attracted the attention of some of the attacking demons.
Some flying demons immediately flew over and hurled various lava fireballs at the long column.
This lava fireball spell had become almost standard for these demons, whether low-ranking or intelligent, and all knew it.
It was just that the spells they cast varied in strength.
This one was just as useful, as it had ample destructive power.
Then, the fireballs were blocked mid-air by an invisible force, and the lava-encrusted fireballs slid down from the sky.
At some point, a shield appeared in the captain's right hand. He raised it in mid-air, commanding all his soldiers to advance quickly.
The soldiers in the rear seemed long accustomed to this situation and ignored the ranged attacks directed at them.
The pace increased again, and the fireballs thrown by the demons were blocked mid-air, rendered ineffective.
Soon, they entered the fortress's perimeter.
The demons that had been following them were immediately struck down from the sky by the fortress's various ranged defenses.
"Brothers, reinforcements are here! Quick, replace them!"
Looking at Sofia and his men arriving for support, the generals in the fortress quickly issued orders.
The captain, who had arrived to support them, nodded.
He turned to look at the soldiers behind him.
All the soldiers quickly split into several groups and began moving toward the front line from various areas, quickly replacing the exhausted and wounded guards.
Maneuvered by the knights of the Holy Mother Church, several pillars of holy light penetrated the sky.
A pale golden glow shone down.
All the demons couldn't help but shield their eyes at the sight of this light, and some even began to scratch their skin.
All their attacks and movements were interrupted or affected.
Members of the Holy Machine Church quickly reached several damaged city defense devices and began repairing them.
Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly.
The reinforcements, with the exception of a few new recruits, were mostly experienced veterans.
Sofia transformed into a blue meteor, directly reaching the front wall and kicking a demon down.
The demon's figure flew out like a missile, slamming the swarm of demons below into a ball.
The immense force created a pressure that unexpectedly created a clearing below.
Sofia appeared in the blue light.
The demon she had kicked out was a fifth-stage demon, now dismembered by the demons in the gathering.
"Disgusting!" Sofia cursed with some discomfort as she watched the scene.
Cannibalism on the battlefield was truly a challenge.
"Bang!"
A dull thud.
The nearby Hammer Demon had already approached the city wall, striking it with its hands, like giant hammers.
The entire wall shook, and a large amount of lime spread outward with the vibrations.
Although the stone wall had no cracks or damage, it was clear that a few more such attacks would inevitably lead to damage. "Quick, focus your fire!"
The captain roared, then raised his shield high, an invisible shield expanding.
All ranged attacks were immediately blocked. Taking advantage of this opportunity, numerous city defense equipment operators and skilled warriors used their powerful ranged tools to focus their fire on the hammer demon approaching the city wall.
Sofia immediately turned to look to the other side, where the hammer demon was also approaching the wall.
Instantly, a blue meteor took flight, arcing across the battlefield. Before anyone could react, it landed in front of the hammer demon.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the fly before them, the various demons alighting on the hammer demon immediately launched a variety of original attacks, attacking Sofia.
Sofia floated in place, a red light flashing, and launched a powerful kick.
The immense force combined with the shockwave.
The resulting sonic boom instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, and everyone felt as if they were in a vacuum of silence.
Then, a piercing sound was heard.
Amidst this piercing sound,
A dramatic scene unfolded before them.
Never before had any of the demons, or soldiers, witnessed such a shocking sight.
Large demons like the Hammer Demon, capable of posing a significant threat to the city walls, were always targeted on the battlefield, always targeted first by various means.
Although the demons were in complete chaos and completely disorganized, some still attempted to protect them. Of course, their method of protection often involved direct attacks on those attacking their targets.
This was a battle of wits and courage between the demons and the defenders.
But the manner of their demise was so devastating that it momentarily silenced the entire battlefield.
Because of the Hammer Demon.
It flew away.
Under the incredible force, the entire body of the Hammer Demon was enveloped in Sofia's impact range.
The immense force, accompanied by a powerful impact, slammed into the Medium Hammer Demon, sending the massive Hammer Demon flying as if struck by a massive hammer.
It arced like a piece of rock, its flesh visibly twisting under the immense force. Finally, it flew heavily, slamming into the still-surging demon formation behind it.
The powerful force, coupled with its incredible size, slammed into the ground, sending up a cloud of lime dust that rose several meters high.
Countless demons were flung into the air or crushed to pulp by the impact of its massive body.
The dust dissipated.
The Hammer Demon, seemingly lifeless, collapsed to the ground, a twisted corpse.
In an instant, Sofia became the demons' target.
All the sixth-stage demons on the battlefield immediately charged forward.
They were the primary force, playing the most crucial role in the offensive.
There were three of them in total.
"Quick, everyone, support!"
The original fortress commander and the supporting regiment commander simultaneously issued orders, and as they issued their orders, they hurried towards Sofia's position.
They sensed that such power must have come at a price.
Sofia might be in a weakened state right now.
Such a powerful force, and those capable of such an exaggerated fighting style, must be protected.
Anyone who could single-handedly repel, or even eliminate, a unit like the Hammer Demon was an extremely valuable fighting force.
All the commanders understood this clearly, and even the soldiers were well aware of it.
The demons were even faster.
Dodging various ranged attacks, he quickly reached Sofia, who seemed motionless, suspended in midair.
"Haha, her soul is mine!"
The demon that charged first, its expression now radiant with ecstasy and ferocious laughter, exclaimed.
Its bloody claws, imbued with the aura of the abyss, even oozing with scorching lava, clawed at Sofia.
Sofia simply turned and looked at him.
A faint glow covered his left leg.
"Seeking death!"
With that, Sofia launched a fierce kick.
The powerful force compressed into a shock wave, which, under the power of his glove, formed a circular impact zone with a diameter of three meters.
The impact of this attack on the air was palpable.
It was like a concentrated stream of air rushing out, forming a channel.
The force of the impact enveloped the charging demon. Under everyone's astonishment, the demon was reduced to nothing but blood and minced meat.
The two slower demons quickly braked their wings and quickly stopped in mid-air.
Sofia silently turned to look at the two demons.
One of the demons frantically flapped its wings, attempting to flee.
The other demon hadn't reacted yet, having just stopped and prepared to turn in another direction, when a streak of blue light flashed past him.
Sofia appeared before him.
The demon stared, as if he had seen a ghost. Its eyes widened. Its orange-red pupils were sinister, yet the emotion within them was one of terror.
Another kick.
Another demon vanished from the world.
Without stopping, the streak of light streaked across the sky.
It was a blue meteor, visible to everyone on the battlefield. A meteor instantly streaked across the sky and appeared on the other side, already escaping the nearby demon's head.
The demon instantly sensed the presence overhead and widened its eyes.
It sped up, attempting to escape as fast as it could.
This time, Sofia didn't steady himself. Instead, he slowed down as the meteor passed and launched a kick.
Because it was in its blue meteor form, no one could see clearly.
They only saw the meteor streak as the flying demon crashed to the ground.
But the demon survived, suffering only a broken wing.
Sensing the damage, the demon immediately healed its wings. It leaped forward, charging towards the soaring Sofia.
The force of the attack was far less than that of his two colleagues.
Clearly, Sofiai's strength was running low.
Now was the perfect time to perform a deed.
Looking at the demon suddenly charging at him again, Sofia was somewhat bewildered.
"Don't you want to live?"
Though he didn't understand, since he was going to die, and it would also help prevent him from pursuing him, why not?
He kicked the charging demon again.
With the sound of impact.
A huge dent appeared in the ground.
When the smoke and dust cleared, only a mass of flesh could be seen in the dent.
"Kill!"
Such a powerful battle instantly rallied the soldiers' low morale. Someone shouted loudly, and the soldiers on the wall, their morale boosted, began to fight the demon.
Though the demons were obsessed with blood and slaughter, many still had some sense. Seeing Sofia's performance, the demons also lost their desire to continue their deaths and felt a certain fear.
Although they wouldn't die, their souls would return to the Abyss, but there was a price to pay, and the Abyss was truly cruel.
The meteor Sofia had transformed into began to fly rapidly across the battlefield. Wherever he passed, demons could be seen being kicked and smashed by an unknown force.
With such speed and power, and now without the support of higher-level combatants, how could they fight?
The pressure on the demons increased.
Some demons had already begun to retreat.
Blue meteors streaked across the battlefield, increasing pressure on all demons and boosting the morale of the defenders.
Soon, the demons began to retreat.
Sofia also emerged from the blue meteors.
Looking at Sofia floating in the air, a faint blue glow on his body,
Everyone in the fortress couldn't help but cast their eyes over.
The captain roared at the scene. "Valkyrie!"
This cry seemed to awaken everyone.
Countless soldiers began to shout, forming a unified chant.
"Valkyrie!" "Valkyrie!"
......
At the Demon Hunting Fortress, this was the primary target of demonic attacks from this direction. Especially with the arrival of Alka and his companions, the fortress's attack was heightened.
"Your soul belongs to me!"
A powerful demon, reaching the sixth stage of strength, charged directly towards the first wall, frantically flapping its wings as it charged towards Alka.
Unknown power, its speed suddenly increased, at that moment almost rivaling that of Sofia.
Instantly, a single claw pierced Alka's body.
Then Alka's body vanished into a shadow.
The spiral of the whirlwind, coupled with the lightning drill attached to it, pierced the demon directly.
The surrounding soldiers' weapons had already struck the demon.
A general chopped off the demon's head.
Meanwhile, Alka had already appeared more than ten meters away.
A concentrated stream of water, a finger-thick water jet, shot out.
An exhausted soldier collapsed on the wall, staring at the claws that threatened to claw at his head.
He couldn't help but close his eyes.
He no longer had the strength to resist.
However, the pain and darkness didn't overtake him. When he opened his eyes, Alka had just passed him.
"Friend, now is not the time to rest."
Laughing, Alka pulled him up, and carried him down on a stretcher formed from stillness.
The elemental cards beside Alka flickered continuously, and various elemental attacks transformed into missiles and various shapes, scattering across the battlefield.
Each strike accurately struck the demons.
The wounded soldier floating on the mirror landed inside the fortress, where some wounded who were still able to move were waiting. They immediately worked together to carry the soldier aloft to a makeshift treatment tent not far away.
Wounded soldiers and members of various churches were receiving treatment inside.
Priests with the emblem of the Church of the Virgin Mary on their clothing, members of the Seed of Life bearing the emblem of life, and some doctors rushed through the infirmary, treating all the soldiers.
The entire infirmary was filled with busy figures and wailing cries.
The most conspicuous figure among them was the Naga standing in the center of the infirmary.
Matlisa, with her four arms and a serpent's tail, a stark difference from humans, coiled her tail, making her appear taller.
This gave her a wider field of vision, allowing her to see her surroundings clearly.
Four arms stretched out, waving constantly.
Sixteen needles flew throughout the tent, and a water bottle floated beside him. Potions transformed from various streams of water were injected into the ground for healing.
Vines also crawled across the ground.
The wounded, who had just been brought in, were immediately bound by the vines and quickly dragged to one of the beds.
His breathing was already becoming labored. His vision went dark.
He suddenly felt a stream of water pouring down his throat.
The water had a strong medicinal smell.
His sensitivity had decreased, and he hadn't noticed when a needle had been inserted into his shoulder.
Life energy began to flow into his body.
The entire operation took less than a minute, and his injuries were perfectly controlled, and he had even recovered significantly.
"Thank you."
A witcher beside Matresha, covered in bandages, thanked him.
This witcher was a woman, covered in bandages, but she was still able to move her limbs normally and was providing assistance at the infirmary.
Matresha looked at her and smiled.
