Volume 12 Chapter 62 : The Siege

Delza

"Here, it won't hurt after you drink this." The little wood spirit, Jane-Era, carefully handed the steaming hot porridge to a wounded soldier.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

"Thank you." The wounded weakly took the porridge, almost knocking over the bowl over to the ground. Fortunately, Jane-Era reacted quickly and caught the bowl.

"Soso sorry." The wounded soldier smiled apologetically, and with Jane-Era's help, slowly taking a sip of the porridge.

"Ah its so warm. Even if I were to die now, I wouldnt mind."

"No, you wont. You youll get better." Jane-Era said as she was blushing.

"I hope so." The soldier took a few more sips and leaned against the wall.

There were several hundreds of soldiers like him. Due to Yalides arrangement, the nearby spirits who were scared to hide in their homes after hearing the chimes of the Bell of Defense came out to help.

However, due to the severity of the injuries of the wounded, they could not move to another location, so they were stationed beside the city gate.

It was currently about three o'clock in the morning in the demon realm, so the temperature was extremely low. The bandaging work of the spirits came to an end and everyone was exhausted, so some spirits went home to bring out their pots and cook some porridge. With a bowl of hot porridge in their hands, they could feel the warmth in their palms, which warmed their cold hearts.

"Were should really be grateful to Sir Lin Xiang. After drinking the porridge, we don't feel as tired anymore." Several healing spirits, who were exhausted from providing treatment to others, heaved out a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I hope that after this catastrophe, Sir Lin Xiang can teach us how to make new dishes."

When it came to new dishes, even the wounded soldiers became spirited.

"I wonder when hell be back."

"Hell definitely come back soon! Sir Lin Xiang only went back to the human realm to fetch something. He must have been trying to help us defeat those invading creatures." A little wood spirit girl spoke. Her name was Jane-Coral, and she was sisters with Jane-Era.

"Yes, Sir Lin Xiang is able to subdue that Fire Dance, so he must be very powerful. He will come to save us."

"Thats right, I believe in Sir Lin Xiang. He is so gentle and kind, he will definitely not leave us be."

It was like witnessing the light of dawn, as the atmosphere became lively.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." A disdainful sound came at an inappropriate time. Wearing a look of contempt, Bloom Water appeared among the spirits, Look at you all, what have you become! Let me tell you, if you listen to me now, maybe you can still survive.

"Why are you here! Youre the scoundrel who slandered Sir Lin Xiang!" Jane-Coral pointed at Bloom Water as she shouted, while several spirits also told Bloom Water to leave. Many of them knew that Bloom Water wanted to frame Lin Xiang.

"Everyone here, think about it. If you take refuge with the demon clam, what will the consequences be? Your abilities are not that strong. If the demon clan accepted you, they will only use you as cannon fodder, or in sacrificial rituals. Do you know about sacrificial rituals? It is done by using spirits as sacrifices to open a passage for the demon clan to enter from the place, known as the world beyond the skies. Thats right, those missing spirits were used as sacrifices. Therefore, what awaits you will be death. The kind of death that will bring you even greater pain.

Why is it painful? Thats because you won't really survive, and you will allow more demons to invade Spirit Country. Panic and remorse will haunt your souls, leading you to die in agony.

However, I really appreciate the words spoken by this soldier, because even if he really died, he died in the right path. Why? Thats because he had an honorable death, which is different from those guys, who betrayed Spirit Country and their loved ones while their conscience torture themselves for the rest of their lifetime. Wind Chimes abruptly closed her notepad in hand as she finished her speech.

"Its really surprising to hear a woman like you saying such things." Bloom Water slightly sneered.

"Thank you for the compliment." Wind Chimes nodded to Bloom Water.

"Leave quickly! You wicked creature! Sir Lin Xiang will definitely return!" Jane-Coral fearlessly shouted at Bloom Water.

"That's right! Once you take a step out of this place, you no longer belong to Spirit Country! Sir Lin Xiang will definitely come back to save us!" Faner joined in the shouting.

Moments ago, they wanted Bloom Water to leave, now more and more spirits were telling Bloom Water to get lost.

"This is bad! There are a large number of demons heading this way, at least tens of thousands!" Suddenly, the guard on the city wall shouted down below.

In an instant, the spirits fell silent once again.

"Hahahaha! Good, very well, you dont even bother trying to survive if you have the chance. You all are truly a bunch of ignorant fools. Ill leave now, and I wish all of you good luck. I hope your Sir Lin Xiang will come to save you." Bloom Water loudly laughed, before transforming into liquid and melting into the ground.

The laughter of Bloom Water echoed in the spirits ears, and their hearts that was just warming up seemed to have fallen into an ice abyss at that moment.

"Tens of thousands! What should we do!"

"Are we really going to die?"

"Please don't panic, everyone." Wind Chimess soft and gentle fingers drew a circle of wind in the air, then she spoke through the circle, "Please come over here." Her voice carried with the wind, reaching far into the distance.

Then, Wind Chimes floated up and stood on the city wall. On the night filled with dark clouds, the area around the city wall was shrouded in black silence. However, with some effort, one could still make out the large shadows approaching the city gate from a short distance away.

Under the astonished gaze of the soldiers, Wind Chimes took out a long thing from her collar, which looked like a bamboo tube with lenses on both sides. She brought it close to her eyes and aimed it towards the direction of the large approaching shadows, There are many enemies. Among them, the most in numbers are those disgusting bugs, which are distributed in the back and front, so they seemed pretty normal. If we dont think about the low demons, even the demon clan that Bloom Water mentioned might have hundreds of them. We only one thousand soldiers are left to defend the city. Due to the city lords orders, the guards of Thunder Castle and Wind Castle basically went out, and theyre less than five hundred in total. In terms of quantity, we are in a very disadvantageous situation. Hmm? It seems that there are enemies coming from South. This time, theyre all low demons, and theres more than a thousand of them.

"Miss Wind Chimes, how did you know the number of enemies?"

"I made this thing when I was bored. With this, I can see things in the distance. Let's call it a telescope for the time being." Again, under the astonished looks of the soldiers, Wind Chimes inserted the bamboo tube back behind the collar of her shirt, "Well now, what we should focus on isnt this, but how to hold them off."

"Indeed. Fortunately, the enemies arent very familiar with the terrain, so they are concentrated at one city gate. That spares us a lot of trouble."

Even without those troubles, we are still facing a tremendous challenge now. The next battle will be a bitter one.
