Borrowed Power

And while the South may have been resolved for now, the North was still in the thick of it. The past several days have been nothing but constant fighting and Kong Zhi's forces sought to break through the North Fort. 

The ground before this great fortress was riddled with the bodies of demons and of humans, more the former than the latter. 

It was beginning to resemble the battle within the Boundless Beast Forest.  From the ruined land to the thick metallic scent of blood, this battle was far from over. 

"Again, fire!" 

Du Xiu shouted as his soldiers released another wave of arrows upon the enemy. 

"Kong Zhi must really be determined to take down this fortress", he thought, "This is practically his entire army but, it will be difficult to win this." 

Unlike before, the demons didn't charge forward like a swarm but they slowly advanced, moving in waves. They were organized, split into different forces.
