Ch 314: Gathering Strength From All Sides
At the Yu City City Gate, Chen Dian and Suying led the charge, leading a group of brave villagers in a thrilling and fierce battle against the surging demons.
On the battlefield, shouts and roars intertwined, creating a chaotic scene. The demons clawed and lunged at the villagers, while the villagers fearlessly wielded their weapons, fighting bravely.
Initially, the demons seemed not difficult to deal with; Chen Dian’s Precious Sword easily slaughtered them. However, as the battle progressed, the situation suddenly changed.
Chen Dian was surprised to find that the demons charging from behind were wearing High-Tech Protective Armor. This armor was incredibly hard; his Precious Sword couldn’t even leave a scratch on it.
Faced with this situation, Chen Dian quickly adjusted his tactics. He began to use his superpowers, concentrating his power to attack the demons’ heads. Sure enough, this tactic worked; the demons’ heads were relatively vulnerable, and after being attacked by superpowers, they fell to the ground one after another.
However, Suying and the other villagers were not so lucky. Their ordinary weapons were almost useless against these demons wearing High-Tech Protective Armor; most attacks merely bounced harmlessly off the armor, unable to inflict substantial harm on the demons.
As a result, the villagers, already at a disadvantage, found their situation on the battlefield becoming increasingly difficult. Demons surged forward like a tide, while the villagers’ counterattack became increasingly weak and ineffective. The entire scene was gradually controlled by the demons, and the villagers found themselves in an extremely passive situation.
Just as the villagers were about to be trapped in a dead end, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky. Chen Dian looked up in astonishment and saw a group of mysteriously dressed people riding Flying Machines, speeding towards them like meteors.
These mysterious people wore ornate ancient clothing, appearing to be from ancient times, but the weapons they carried were extremely peculiar, emitting a strange light. Without hesitation, they launched a fierce attack on the demons. The light from their weapons could easily penetrate the demons’ High-Tech Protective Armor, knocking them to the ground one by one.
The appearance of the mysterious people was like a divine intervention. They quickly joined the battle, fighting alongside the villagers. Seeing this, Chen Dian was overjoyed. He took the opportunity to converse with the leader of the mysterious people. Through conversation, Chen Dian learned that these mysterious people came from an ancient sect hidden in the Deep Mountains. Their important mission was to help Chen Dian when he was in danger. They had sensed an unusual situation in Yu City and had rushed to assist without delay.
With the powerful firepower support of the mysterious people, the battle began to reverse. The villagers’ morale soared; they worked closely with the mysterious people, launching a more ferocious counterattack. The demons began to retreat steadily, the villagers’ morale boosted, their attacks becoming increasingly fierce. After a fierce battle, the demons were finally driven back. Chen Dian and Suying were filled with gratitude for the mysterious people’s assistance. The mysterious people stated that they were Chen Dian’s Guardians and that protecting the peace of Rongna Jila Star was their mission. Then, they disappeared into the sky on their Flying Machines. The battle at the Yu City City Gate came to a close, but Chen Dian knew that this was perhaps only the beginning, and that many more challenges awaited them. After repelling the demons, Yu City was in ruins—collapsed buildings, bloodstains—as if it had experienced a brutal war. Chen Dian and Suying looked at the scene before them, their hearts filled with worry and anxiety.
They quickly sprang into action, organizing the villagers to clear the battlefield and treat the wounded. While busy, Chen Dian pondered the identities of the mysterious people and their stated mission. Who were these mysterious people? What were their goals? Why did they appear here? All of this made Chen Dian feel that a great secret was hidden behind it all.
At that moment, Suying suddenly exclaimed, “Look, the demon corpses have disappeared!” Hearing this, everyone stopped their work and looked intently. Indeed, the demon corpses that had been lying scattered on the ground had now turned into wisps of Black Mist, slowly dissipating into the air.
This strange sight astonished everyone, and Chen Dian frowned, his doubts deepening. While everyone was puzzled, a mysterious rune suddenly appeared on the ground. This rune glowed strangely, seeming to contain some unknown power.
Seeing this, Chen Dian had an idea; he quickly walked to the rune, wanting to examine it carefully. However, the moment he approached the rune, it suddenly emitted a strong light, blinding him.
When the light weakened, Chen Dian looked closely and saw a blurry figure slowly emerging from the rune. This figure was pitch black, its face blurred, giving a sinister and terrifying feeling.
“You foolish humans, do you think you can defeat us like this?” the figure sneered, its voice cold and harsh. “You have only temporarily driven us back; this war has just begun. We have a powerful influence behind us, and we will continually send more powerful demons. You just wait to be destroyed!”
Having said that, the figure dissipated like smoke, leaving behind a shocked Chen Dian and the others.
Chen Dian clenched his fists, a strong sense of anxiety surging within him. He knew that the path ahead was filled with countless unknown challenges, and these challenges were far more severe than he had imagined.
Although the villagers of Haya Village were very brave, Chen Dian knew that relying solely on their strength, they would probably be unable to defend this land, let alone counterattack and restore the former prosperity of Da Chen Kingdom. He realized that to defeat the powerful demons, he had to unite more forces.
After careful consideration, Chen Dian decided to contact those who still remained in Da Chen Kingdom but had chosen to remain hidden. Only by continuously strengthening his forces could he possibly achieve final victory.
Chen Dian shared his thoughts with Suying and the other villagers; after listening, everyone expressed their agreement. They all understood that they couldn’t resist the demons alone; only by uniting did they have a chance of survival.
So, Chen Dian began to arrange the next action. He decided to have Suying stay behind to care for the wounded and be responsible for rebuilding Yu City to ensure the safety of the rear. He himself, leading several agile villagers, set off on a journey to find other potential forces.
They followed the direction marked on the old Da Chen Kingdom map, proceeding cautiously, not daring to relax. After all, this land had been ravaged by demons, and no one knew when they would suddenly encounter a new attack.
After several days of difficult travel, they finally arrived at an abandoned town. This town looked as if it had been abandoned for a long time; the streets were deserted, and the houses were dilapidated. However, just as they were about to continue their journey, they unexpectedly discovered a group of people.
Although their clothes were tattered, their eyes burned like flames, revealing an unshakeable firmness and unyielding spirit. Chen Dian gazed at them, a surge of admiration welling up in his heart. He immediately understood that these people were also warriors fighting a desperate battle against the demons.
Standing at the forefront of the crowd was a middle-aged man named Dong Dongtula. He was strong and resolute; although weathered, his eyes still shone with a persistent pursuit of justice. Dong Dongtula was originally a guard in Jila City within Da Chen Kingdom. However, when Da Chen Kingdom suffered a devastating blow from the demons, he resolutely fled the ruins and began a long and arduous life of exile.
During his escape, Dong Dongtula continually gathered other survivors, forming this team to resist the demons. Although their strength was still weak, unable to pose a substantial threat to the demons for the moment, they never gave up their belief in resistance.
Chen Dian went forward without hesitation, explaining his intentions to Dong Dongtula and truthfully revealing his identity as an ancestor from the past of Da Chen Kingdom. After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Dong Dongtula’s eyes. He grasped Chen Dian’s hand tightly and said, “Ancestor, your arrival gives us hope! We have always longed for a stronger force to join us, to fight together against these hateful demons.”
They immediately agreed to unite and fight the demons together. During their conversation, Chen Dian also learned important news from these people: In a nearby valley, a mysterious ruin was hidden. It was said that this ruin contained a powerful force capable of combating demons.
This news ignited a spark of hope in Chen Dian’s heart. He firmly believed that as long as they could find and master this power, they would surely be able to win the war against the demons and lay a solid foundation for the revival of Da Chen Kingdom.
Therefore, Chen Dian led everyone forward with firm steps toward that valley. Along the way, they crossed dense forests and climbed steep mountain peaks, overcoming numerous difficulties. Finally, they arrived at the valley’s entrance.
Standing before the valley, Chen Dian gazed at the mysterious place shrouded in mist, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness. He took a deep breath and then stepped into the valley, ready to explore the legendary mysterious ruins and forge a bright path for the future of Da Chen Kingdom.
