Black Hill Demon

On the sixth day, the blazing afternoon sun hung high in the clear sky.

Nine red eagles hovered at an altitude of thousands of meters, flaunting their power. They didn't attack because the deer demon's army hadn't arrived yet.

In the end, Zhang Yang guessed incorrectly. He thought that the deer demon would know exactly when the village was built. After all, there was such a big commotion during the process.

But, as a matter of fact, it showed up nine hours later than estimated.

As for the reason, it was simple. The deer demon simply couldn't see the white radiance that emanated when the Village Building Order was set on the ground, nor when the village was successfully built. That was why it didn't know when the village was built. It had to wait and get a good view during daytime, looking from afar to confirm the two new buildings before finally gathering troops to attack.

And within these extra nine hours, Zhang Yang created an additional five enchanted Spear of Imprisonment (White).

He was rather pleased until he saw the deer demon leading its deer minions. That was when he went on high alert again.

He had to admit that the deer demon was truly a terrifying, sophisticated, and scheming opponent. As soon as the deer demon attacked, it would put all its strength into taking him down.

If Zhang Yang didn't have powerful aces, he would have chosen to flee at that moment because the forces led by the deer demon were too magnificent.

First of all, there were 200 green wolves, followed by 100 deer minions. They were about five meters tall and had huge antlers on their heads. There was nothing hanging from their antlers, but the antlers themselves were razor-sharp like a clump of spears.

The deer minions were also clad in iron armor and helmets. Each and every one of them strolled around proudly, constantly hissing on the battlefield like unbeatable heavy cavalry.

But what kept Zhang Yang on his toes was the other hill-like demon. It was taller than 15 meters, shaking the ground with each step it took forward. It held a mace that was over 10 meters long and two meters in diameter. It could kick down an enormous tree in a single stomp.

Zhang Yang's hastily-built fortress would never stand a chance against it.

"Wu Yuan, can you defeat that giant?"

"Village Chief, I am no match for it, but the enchanted weapon you made can definitely hit it hard. The only trouble is that we will lose the means to kill that deer demon."

Wu Yuan sulked. He was right. That deer demon had some malicious means and its soul strength was stronger than Zhang Yang's. If it mastered another terrifying spell, the result of this war would be self-evident. Zhang Yang's side had to have the means to quickly kill it.

"In that case, give up on killing the deer demon and take down the giant first. I bet there's a high chance the deer demon will flee in fear!"

Zhang Yang considered for a second and immediately made a decision.

Because under this situation where one couldn't be resurrected and had nothing to lose, any uncertainty would make that deer demon hesitate. The deer demon set this trap and led an army of great numbers. This point alone was enough to prove just how cautious it was.

So long as the giant was killed, the deer demon would need to consider whether its Level 3 Protection could resist the deterrence of the Spear of Imprisonment in Wu Yuan's hand.

Of course, Zhang Yang also considered immediately killing the deer demon and ending the war right there. However, the deer demon stood at a full 300 meters away this time. Not only that, but it also instantly activated its Level 3 Protection, apparently to prevent Wu Yuan from launching a desperate attack at it.

That was why if the giant was killed first, Wu Yuan could break through alone and frighten the deer demon.

"Yes, Village Chief. I understand now." Wu Yuan firmly nodded. In that situation, trying to wipe out the enemy was simply delusional. On the other hand, defeating and scaring them away would be as if gaining valuable buffer time. As long as there was more time, they could create additional Spears of Imprisonment.

At that moment, Zhang Yang's side had just settled on a strategy for the war when the deer demon on the opposite side launched a full-scale attack.

More than 200 green wolves and 100 armored deer minions clustered around the giant as they charged toward the hillock. To Zhang Yang's surprise, the enemy army seemed more organized than expected.

Meanwhile in the sky, the nine red eagles continued circling at a faster speed. However, they didn't attack yet. It was apparent that they were waiting for Zhang Yang to activate the Level 2 Protection and that was when they would immediately swoop down and crack it open, causing a stun effect.

"As you wish then!"

Zhang Yang stared at the deer demon from afar and with a cold snort, he gestured to Wu Yuan, activating the Level 2 Protection in the fortress.

As expected, four red eagles immediately accelerated and swooped down, releasing wind blades that were powerful enough to blast through the energy shield.

The remaining five red eagles were behind by about 50 meters, ready to join the battle in a second wave.

This strategy isn't too bad, huh?

But it's a pity for you!

Two seconds later, Zhang Yang immediately deactivated the Level 2 Protection. At that moment, the four red eagles had descended to a height of 50 meters, while the five red eagles were at another 50 meters behind.

But at that moment, standing in another area, Wu Yuan led 19 elites, who simultaneously threw the wooden spears in their hands.

Twenty wooden spears whistled across the air, breaking the sound barrier and puncturing the nine red eagles like fangs of death. None of them was spared!

The training result over the past six days was excellent.

In the blink of an eye, the carcasses of nine red eagles crashed to the ground.

Zhang Yang's side took the first round!

Once again, he activated the Level 2 Protection, leaned over the fortress wall, and displayed a middle finger to the deer demon in the distance. He wanted to see if this would lure the deer demon over. If it came closer to 100 meters away, Wu Yuan might be able to kill it with a Spear of Imprisonment.

However, the deer demon simply ignored him as it continued to hide in the safety of its protective shield that was 300 meters away.

Roar!

At that moment, the hill-like giant let out a thunderous snarl. It picked up its pace, rushed towards the hillock in a few steps, and was only 50 meters away from Zhang Yang's fortress wall.

"Wu Yuan, attack! Bowmen, focus your attacks on the green wolves! The rest of you, use wooden spears to take down the armored deer minions!"

Zhang Yang hurriedly gave his orders. As soon as Wu Yuan heard him, he jumped above the fortress wall and instantly hurled out a Spear of Imprisonment. In a deafening sonic boom, the wooden spear blasted ahead.

At almost the same time, a bloody, bucket-sized hole erupted in the hill-like giant's neck!

At the next moment, the Spear of Imprisonment unleashed its effects. The giant merely lifted the mace and was instantly seized by the demonic force, giving Wu Yuan the opportunity to follow up on his attack. In the blink of an eye, he hurled out four consecutive Spear of Imprisonment, blasting out the giant's eyes. Before the poor giant let out a shriek, the four enchanted spears struck a bloody, fish tank-sized hole in its skull, and it died in a flash!

The power of the Spear of Imprisonment was simply terrifying.

But at the thought of it, this should also be expected. This enchanted weapon had a 'white' quality. Moreover, with it being thrown by Wu Yuan, who was a quasi-hero, it was only normal to inflict such deadly damage.

Zhang Yang was filled with amazement and elation. He was amazed by the power of the Spear of Imprisonment and elated at this result as the battle had just started.

There wasn't even a need to talk about the imperfect souls of the nine red eagles.

Because he actually received a perfect soul from the giant that had just been killed by Wu Yuan!
