Chapter 104: The Three Demon Suppression Division Branches.

Edited by: Mochiusagi 

In an academy-like infrastructure that stood in the center of the city, everyone was scurrying around in a hurry, while wearing solemn expressions on their faces.

This was the Demon Suppression Division branch.

Specifically, one of the three major Demon Suppression Division branches in the Great Wilderness Province.

In the meeting hall, several Guardians with not so good looking expressions on their faces, sat in their respective seats.

“I believe you all got the Heavenly Inspection Guard’s recent news. Recently, the monsters have become more and more rampant. They ignore the Demon Suppression Division and continue to cause many casualties among the people.”

“This matter has already spread to the Capital. If we can’t settle it, His Majesty will punish us.”

Shi Kaitai said to the other two, with a heavy tone.

Naturally, the one who oversees the area where the Evil Calamity struck, was also the one who was responsible for dealing with it.

If this matter continued to escalate, it would not be easy, even if the Demon Suppression Division had a high status among the masses.

After all, the duty of the Demon Suppression Division was to deal with monsters and demons, as well as protecting the safety of the people of the Great Qin.

If they couldn’t do this, then there was no need for the Demon Suppression Division to exist.

Further, the ‘high’ status of the Demon Suppression Division was only relatively speaking.

The Demon Suppression Division in the Capital was the source of all Demon Suppression Divisions (branches), and only the Demon Suppression Division in the Capital could compete with the Imperial Court.

The other branches were way weaker.

If the Imperial Court really wanted to hold them accountable, even if they were Guardians, they wouldn’t be spared.

Yang Qian frowned and said in a deep voice: “According to the news, the Evil Calamity was not only caused by the Eternal Life Alliance, there’s another force.”

“The Heavenly Inspection Guard has all spread out and collected relevant information. However, not much progress has been made so far.”

“Almost all of the forces that my Yecheng Branch can dispatch now, have been dispatched. What’s the news in the Panlong and Beihuang City branches?”     

Yang Qian clearly understood the seriousness of the matter.   

However, almost all of the forces that could be dispatched by the Yecheng Branch, where he was located, had already been dispatched. Except for a few on one side, they had no extra force to spare.

It  can be said that if this force suffered damage, most of the foundation of the Yecheng Branch would be lost.    

“Panlong City and Beihuang City are in similar states. There is no excess force left.”

Shi Kaitai shook his head and continued: “I also tried to ask for help from the Capital, but unfortunately the situation in all parts of the Great Qin is not optimistic. The faraway water in the Capital can’t save the nearby fire.”     

“I heard that the Capital also sent some Slayers to the Great Wilderness Province.” 

At this time, Yang Qian said while frowning. If even the Demon Suppression Division in the Capital had their hands full, what about the local branches? 

Hearing this, Shi Kaitai nodded: “There was a group of Slayers that came. It’s a pity that most of them were not strong, and some time ago, the monsters killed most of them.”     

“But!”     

“There is a person with good strength. I heard that he is a genius in the Capital and has only been in the Division for less than three years. It was because of this person that Jin City’s Eternal Life Alliance’s stronghold was destroyed, and the casualties were within a controllable range.”     

Hearing this, the expressions of the other two Guardians changed slightly.

Huang Jing, who had not spoken till now, said at this time: “In less than three years, he has already reached the Innate Outer Astral Realm. It can be said that he has the foundation for a Grandmaster. He also has a shot at being promoted to a Guardian in the future.”

“Currently, the number of new Guardians does not meet the decline of them. It seems that there is a treasure in the Capital.” 

The biggest problem now was that there were not many new Guardians who could replace the fallen.

One and the other, the strength of the Demon Suppression Divisions was steadily declining.

“Whether he’s a true talent or not, we’ll see how far he can go in the future.”

Shi Kaitai shook his head and sighed.

“After all, Martial Arts has its limits. Compared with monsters and demons, the difference is obvious enough.”

The place soon turned silent.

It was also at this moment that someone suddenly came in.

“Greetings, Guardians!”

“What’s the matter?”

Shi Kaitai looked at the person and calmly asked.

The man clasped his fists and bowed his head: “Reporting to Guardian Shi, there is news from the Heavenly Inspection Guard, that a Fury Level monster appeared. Currently, the Black Tiger Army is resisting it, and is asking for the support of the Demon Suppression Division!”

[Boom~]!

Several powerful auras immediately burst out from the hall.

Shi Kaitai’s eyes turned cold: “Where!?”

“Jiang City!”

“Alright, you can now leave!” Shi Kaitai waved his hand. After the man left, he turned his eyes to the other two Guardians.

“Although the Black Tiger Army is strong, I’m afraid they won’t last for long.”

“Who will go?”

“Let me go. You and Huang Jing stay in Yecheng. Jiang City is in the outskirts of the Great Wilderness Province. With the situation right now, other places are certainly not that optimistic either.”

Yang Qian stood up.

The situation had reached a critical point.

The Eternal Life Alliance must also have a plan.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t just send a Fury Level monster out.

After all, it would be a big loss for the Eternal Life Alliance to lose a Fury Level monster.

Now that one appeared in the outskirts of the Great Wilderness Province, Yang Qian would not believe that the Eternal Life Alliance had no backers.

The best course of action right now was for him to go after the monster, while Shi Kaitai and Huang Jing guard Yecheng City, so that they could respond to the changes.

Neither also disagreed with the arrangement.

Shi Kaitai nodded: “You can go, but you have to be careful. I’m afraid that the demons have other plans.”

“I understand.”

Overnight, the Great Wilderness Province had erupted into chaos, with monsters appearing all over the place.

In the past, Fury Level monsters were rare, but now there were many appearing all at once.

Immediately, the Guardians of the three Demon Suppression Divisions of the Great Wilderness Province all took action at the same time and went to various places to quell the chaos.

The entire Great Wilderness Province was caught in a precarious situation.

At night.

The fire on the city wall was obvious, as soldiers were patrolling the area back and forth with torches.

“Have you heard?”

“Heard of what?”

“There seems to be an outbreak of monsters in many places in the Great Wilderness Province recently, and I heard that a lot of people have died.”

One of the two soldiers, patrolling together on the city wall, said.

Patrolling was a very monotonous task, so chatting to pass some time could help ease the torment.

Hearing this, the other person nodded. When talking about monsters, a look of resentment flashed on his face.     

“Those damned wretches! If it wasn’t for my sub-par talent, I would have already entered the Demon Suppression Division. I really hope that one day I can kill all those [email protected]!”

“Alas, none showed up here.”

The man sneered. His words contained both dissatisfaction and disdain towards monsters.

People will bully the soft and fear the tough ones.

Likewise, monsters also do the same.

Another person said, while smiling: “That’s nonsense. We are stationed in Ningshan City with 100,000 troops, even if there is Evil Calamity, they’ll be sending themselves to their deaths.”

He suddenly covered his stomach and his expression grew a little uncomfortable.

“Wait, my stomach hurts a little. Maybe it’s because I didn’t eat my dinner well. Old Yang, please help me, I’m going to relieve it.” 

“Now, don’t go saying I’m not a good pal now.”

Old Yang scolded with a smile.

The man just smiled, and then hurried down the city wall.

He glanced at the direction the other party was leaving, but when Old Yang was about to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly saw a ray of cold light coming from the darkness.

The cold glow was very fast and it was in front of him within an instant.

The sharp arrow pierced into his flesh, and a bloody flower bloomed on Old Yang’s chest.

As his life flashed before his eyes, before he had taken his eternal rest, he used every bit of his last strength and let out a huge roar.

“Enemy! Attack!” 

As his voice sounded, dozens of cold lights flew over; directly shooting Old Yang into a sieve.

But with his shout, the defenders were now alarmed of the danger.

“There is an enemy sneak attack. Hurry up and report!”

“Enemy attack, everyone pay attention!”

“Quick, pass my order, prepare for battle!” 

The roar made the entire Ningshan City instantly enter a state of preparation for battle.

Different from the other cities, Ningshan City was a border guard city of the Great Wilderness Province, so there’s no Government Office in the city. Instead, it’s replaced with the General’s quarters.

When the whole city was on alert, the people in the army camp also received the message immediately.

“Someone!”

A dignified middle-aged man put on his armor and shouted loudly.

A soldier came in immediately.

“General!”

“Say, what happened!” The middle-aged man’s majestic gaze fell directly on the person in front of him.

The soldier immediately felt great pressure, as he clasped his fists respectfully.

“General Qi, there is an enemy raiding Ningshan City. The defenders on the city wall have now entered a state of preparation. They are awaiting the General’s orders!”

“Do you know the identity of the enemy?” 

The middle-aged man asked.

But before the soldier could answer, the howling of tigers and leopards sounded. It was as if there’s a hundred beasts encircling the camp.

""

After hearing these sounds, the face of the middle-aged man turned gloomy.

Barbarians!

Only the barbarians had the means to tame tigers and leopards.

Only the Barbarians would dare to attack Ningshan City. The roars basically confirmed it 

At this time, the middle-aged man; holding a silver spear and donned in armor, stepped out of the General’s Quarters.
