Chapter 249: The Biggest Crisis in Plan City's History
The deepest part of the cloud layer had almost reached the end of the sky. The fierce cold wind blew, but it had no effect on the two uninvited guests here.

The bone dragon floated quietly in the air, like a silent sculpture, and the huge hostility disappeared without a trace.

There was a person sitting on top of the bone dragon's head, looking very calm and confident. If others saw this scene, they would be so surprised that they would be speechless.

The dragon's head is the most inviolable place of the dragon clan. No matter whether it is a giant dragon or a bone dragon, they are all extremely proud guys. They can tolerate being hurt in battle because it is the mark left by the strong. But it is incredible that someone can sit on it safely at such a non-combat moment.

Not to mention that this bone dragon is the property of the Headless Knight Gaia. How could such a powerful man allow outsiders to desecrate his mount?

Luo Qiu and the Nether Bone Dragon Knight Gaia were not fighting fiercely as Angele and others had imagined. Instead, they seemed to be in harmony with each other. The sound that seemed like a magic bombing below was actually just an image created by magic.

"You mean what that demon named Ergal knows?" Luo Qiu's expression changed slightly.

"Yes." The Dullahan's voice was extremely low and respectful.

"It seems that it is the right decision not to keep him." Luo Qiu kicked the bone dragon's head and said speechlessly: "I originally thought he was a mentally ill demon, but now it seems that he is a mentally ill smart demon. The setting of this guy is really weird."

When he discovered Ergar, he was worried that this guy would be difficult to tame, so Luo Qiu specifically ordered the Nether Bone Dragon Knight to take this guy down even if he had to use force. Who knew that as soon as the Nether Bone Dragon Knight showed up, this mentally ill guy turned against him without doing anything, and instantly abandoned Barbatos, whom he had served for who knows how many years, and defected to the Nether Bone Dragon Knight.

And judging by his behavior so far, this guy is actually sincere.

Well, no matter what, keeping this guy is still very risky. The next plan no longer needs him, so just make use of his last bit of energy. Maybe dying at Meng Li's hands is also a good destination.

But it really makes people curious, who is stronger, the demon who relies on external forces to enhance himself or the vampire who relies on faith to become strong.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about that guy anymore." Luo Qiu shook his head. He was just a demon. Even if he had some strange features, it was not worth his time and effort. After all, he was just a tool.

He has more important goals than Ergal.

"How are those guys doing lately?"

"No one has officially shown up yet, everyone is waiting and watching."

"Really? It seems that I still overestimated them. No one showed up in this situation. They are just cowards, or they just want to see a fool." Luo Qiu smiled faintly.

“Do you want me to kill them?” The Headless Horseman exuded a dangerous aura.

"Wait a little longer, don't be impatient. Since you want to watch the show, then we will put on a good show for them. I want to see what the real purpose of those guys is." Luo Qiu said meaningfully.

"I said, am I having a nightmare?"

A soldier from Plan City rubbed his eyes and asked blankly.

That’s right, the scene from his nightmare did appear in his eyes.

Demons, large groups of demons, rushed towards the direction of Plan City like a tide. Under their feet, the traps that had been set up long ago were not worth mentioning at all and were easily trampled to pieces. The exploded magic props, except for taking away the lives of a few small demons, shattered like foam in the ocean.

The kingdom's army, which had prepared early, stared blankly at the group of enemies beyond imagination in the distance. Almost all the soldiers were immersed in the fear brought by the demons.

"What's going on? Aren't we here to wipe out the undead? Why are there so many demons?" "Oh my God, is the end of the world coming?"

"That... that's the Flame Demon? I've heard of that guy, a demon awakened from the Demon Cave, who easily burned down three alien cities! Why would it appear here? And there are so many of them?"

The morale of the Kingdom's army had almost reached its lowest point. Faced with such a battle where it was clearly a life-or-death battle, how could the soldiers possibly muster up any energy? If it weren't for their own strong qualities, they would have turned around and fled long ago.

Hobbes stood on the city wall. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. His senses were even stronger than those of the imperial soldiers below.

The number of demons can be described as "massive". Just looking at them will make people feel despair and unable to muster any idea of ​​being able to fight against them.

What should I do? Anxiety and confusion made Hobbes unable to think normally.

Hobbes has never regretted so much as he did today. Plan City will soon face death, and no one in the city will be spared. If he had known this would happen, he would definitely have made a different choice.

Unfortunately, there is no second choice now, and the biggest crisis in Plan City’s history has arrived.

"Lord City Lord, please order the use of the city defense cannons. We need to buy time for the people of Plan City to escape!"

An unknown soldier spoke to Hobbes with a tragic look on his face.

Buy them time to escape? A flash of light flashed through Hobbes' mind, and he seemed to have found a way.

"Everyone prepare to activate the magic cannon!"

Hobbes shouted loudly, and the artillerymen who had been on standby beside the magic cannon made final adjustments to it.

"Don't be afraid of the number of demons. We have an army of 130,000! We also have magic cannons with sufficient magic power reserves to defend the city. It is impossible for a few demons to threaten the safety of this city! After this war, we will be the heroes of the kingdom!"

Hobbes said passionately, "Use the most powerful magic cannon to tell them that invading the Kingdom of Alan will lead to their death!"

While speaking, Hobbes used the power of the intermediate magic "Mind Guardian" to calm the originally anxious artillerymen. Hobbes also quietly used the most precious magic scroll in his hand, "Mind Control", to subtly manipulate the emotions of the artillerymen.

These artillerymen who had been working on the artillery for a long time had witnessed the destructive power of the city defense magic cannons during occasional drills and had great confidence in their magic cannons. Coupled with Hobbes's speech and the power of mental magic, they were filled with confidence and seemed to have forgotten all the legends about demons. They pointed their magic cannons at all directions from which the demons were attacking, ready to fire at any time.

It was getting closer and closer to the range of the city guarding magic cannon.

Hobbes' palms were full of sweat. He could not influence the general who led the kingdom's army, but he was still the lord of Plan City and had the authority to use the nearly 100 magic cannons that defended the city.

"After all the city defense cannons are activated and the kingdom army and the demons are engaged, I will immediately leave through the back city gate."

Hobbes had planned very well. No matter how powerful the demons were, their number was less than 50,000 at most. Facing the might of the magic cannons defending the city and the hundreds of thousands of the kingdom's troops, their pace would definitely be slowed down. This was indeed the best time to escape.

As for the others, forget it. As long as you can escape with your life, the worst that can happen is you can live in hiding in other countries for the rest of your life. It is much better than dying in the mouth of the devil.

The warm-up of the magic cannons defending the city has ended. All the artillerymen are staring at the final death line. However, the kingdom's army outside the city has calmed down for some unknown reason and has even arranged their battle formations in an orderly manner, as if they are ready to have a big fight with the demons.
