System vs Rebirth Chapter 623 Incoming Demons

Chapter 623 Incoming Demons

Noel and Shale stood on top of the wall, waiting for the incoming enemies. The noises the demons made this whole time were giving away their location, so they were waiting for them to come.

They knew that Clara and the Stone Lord would come out from the woods. They wanted them to enter first before they closed the gate.

Shale closed his eyes for a while. Noel, on the other hand, glanced to the right where Septa and the Plant Lord were hiding.

Luckily, with the two captains expressing their support, the Plant Lord had no choice but to accept the a.s.signment.

He was angry that he was exposed to this risk, but there was nothing suspicious about the current arrangement. After all, the Plant Lord's role was crucial in handling that many enemies.

At the same time, he had been accompanied by a reliable person from the Demon Beholder Squad. What could he ask more?

Ultimately, the Plant Lord reached an agreement that he would help them before making his way out of the battlefield. He still wanted to keep his life after all.

They didn't have any objection, so they allowed the Plant Lord to do whatever he wanted.

Many members from the Demon Extermination Squads had been sitting on top of the watchtowers as well, ready to engage the enemies. The Demon Beholder Squad and the Demon Relief Squad had been standing by in their respective positions.

Suddenly, the people on the left side raised a giant blue flag. It was big enough to be seen from far away. And the only reason for it to be raised was the arrival of the enemies.

The Demon Behold Squad had noticed the enemies and immediately notified them.

Noel's expression turned serious as he said, "Captain Shale. The enemies are coming."

"Good. We're going with the current plan." Shale raised his left hand. They then erected a red flag, notifying the others about the plan.

Since Shale and Noel handled the same wall, which would take the full brunt of the enemies, the remaining three walls were given to the vice captains of each squad.

Shale soon narrowed his eyes, looking into the woods. "Here they come."

The first ones coming out of the woods were the two groups that were chased by the demons.

Their conditions were horrible. Clara was full of injury. One of the eight legs behind her had been damaged so badly that it almost fell off.

The Stone Lord was in better shape, but he exhausted more Spiritual Energy than anyone else in that group.

However, Noel could see numerous demons chasing after them. The trees were thick and tall. It was also humid, so they couldn't find the demons from the dust they had left behind.

But Noel could see a big monster that was only two meters lower than the tree. The humanoid demon had the head of a crocodile, but it could stand up with two feet and the belly was so round that one would mistake it as a ball.

Yet, with such a body, the demon walked as fast as Clara. It seemed that it managed to utilize its size well to get that kind of speed.

And its condition seemed to be not optimal. There were some huge scars on its body, but there was no wound that would endanger his life.

Without a doubt, this demon was a Superior Demon. Still, Noel didn't stop looking around, trying to find another Superior Demon. There was no way Clara would be in this condition if there was only one Superior Demon after all.

Though, he was a bit angry when he saw their wounds. He noticed that a few of them wouldn't be able to partic.i.p.ate in the exploration any longer, but luckily, all the Demon Relief Squads seemed to have no permanent injury that would force them to retire.

Noel finally understood the reason why the expedition was extremely dangerous.

Unlike the battle in the Silica Valley, they didn't have enough people and reinforced walls to handle a lot of demons.

A thousand demons were truly a big headache for their current numbers, let alone multiple Superior Demons.

"Ready!" Shale shouted out loud, informing the others with his wind power. He was prepared to go to the battlefield to buy some time for Clara and the rest.

Clara saw the gate and pointed to it. "Go to the gate. Stone Lord, we have to stall them for twenty seconds."

The Stone Lord nodded. The current situation didn't allow him to complain anyway. He added, "We'll use the ditches to buy time and disperse the enemies."

"Got it." Clara nodded.

Without hesitation, they crossed the first ditch with the help of wooden planks that had been used as a bridge this whole time.

The wooden planks were not that strong. They were supposed to break once stepped by a demon since most of them had a big body.

But since Jonathan was with them, he used his Telekinesis to carry the planks back as soon as everyone crossed it.

Then, the Stone Lord stomped the ground.

"Grand Wall!"

The soil behind the first ditch suddenly rose, turning into a tall wall that would stop the Low Level Demons.

But before that, the demons with low intelligence ended up falling into the ditches. The demons that messed up afterward ended up crus.h.i.+ng them with their weight. This would continue until the entire ditch was filled up with demons.

This was the effectiveness of the ditch. It only required people to dig the ground, but it could stop at least two hundred demons depending on their sizes. However, the demons weren't that easy to stop either. The Mid Level Demons and Advanced Level Demons released their Spiritual Energy and shot the walls.

The Mid Level Demons cracked it, but the Advanced Level Demons shattered the walls.

Unfortunately for them, what came after a wall was another wall. The Stone Lord had erected another wall behind the second ditch.

And the shattered walls became the weapon for Clara. She attached her strings to those rubbles and swung them around, using the momentum to beat down some demons.

"Die, you monsters!"
