On the other side of the battlefield, assassins dispatched by the Four Demon Kings were awaiting his news.
"How is it?"
"Horton says he can surrender the entire city to us."
Lapuoz, the envoy of the Demon Kings, suppressed his anger and said, "Since he has such determination, perhaps, boss, we can put in a little more effort?"
"What do you think our chances of victory are?"
"If we go ourselves, it should be fifty-fifty, after all, we have the Langnuski gun." Demon King envoy Lapuoz gave his answer, then explained, "Although we miscalculated their artillery fire before, and we didn't expect Saint Tiroman to be so extravagant as to equip the entire royal palace with such high-defense weapons, they also didn't expect that we would still have top-tier combat power hidden."
"The royal palace is as solid as gold. Their excellent equipment resulted in very low casualties. In fact, apart from the initial damage caused by not understanding the undead plague and being directly blown up by us, they suffered very few casualties."
"This means that the undead have almost no replenishment of troops."
Lapuoz ordered, "If Horton cannot take the city tonight, we will immediately implement the second plan."
"Understood, boss!"
The suicide squad sent out by the Prime Minister was quickly discovered and ruthlessly pursued by Horton's men.
Just as these ten people were about to perish, the rumbling sound of footsteps approached from afar. The ten simultaneously turned their heads and saw a group of students wearing magic academy uniforms charging forward.
"For Saint Tiroman, charge!"
"Let them see how powerful we are!"
A huge fireball was thrown into the sky, and a hapless Doom Guard screamed as it fell.
An ice arrow shot towards an undead warrior, instantly turning the fellow into an ice sculpture.
Boundless blizzards descended from the sky...
And many, many more.
In the face of national crisis, these students spontaneously organized themselves and instantly unleashed powerful combat capabilities!
They knew no fear, their hearts filled with passion. Even when facing demons they had never seen before, they cheered and unleashed their spells!
"Look, the students have arrived. They haven't even graduated yet."
"We can't let them down. Let's go, we'll split up after leaving the city."
Flying stones shattered, and several cracks appeared on the ground. Daredevil members who were closer were directly killed by the impact, and then a stone golem burning with green flames stood up!
"My god, what is this thing?" a daredevil member who narrowly survived wailed. Although still holding his weapon, he kept retreating. Facing such a strange creature for the first time, even the most battle-hardened veteran would feel fear!
Even the cannons and the Supreme Exorcists could not inflict any damage on the stone golem burning with green flames.
Students in magic academy uniforms charged forward, and the practice staffs issued by the school began to glow with blue light in their hands.
"Ice Bolt!"
However, before the ice bolt could hit the stone golem, the evil green flames completely melted it!
Unscathed!
The student's face turned pale, realizing for the first time how weak his spells were!
Inside Horton's tent, he lay on the ground, exhausted and covered in sweat, "I can't do it anymore, I have no strength."
Demon King envoy Lapuoz's hand trembled, and a bottle filled with green liquid appeared before Horton: "Take it, I don't have much left either."
Horton opened the bottle and downed the liquid. Veins bulged on his face, crawling like purple earthworms, but quickly receded. He threw the bottle away, gasping for air towards the sky, and narrowed his eyes, "So refreshing!"
Although Empress Seilerphees, out of a mindset of "washing dirty laundry at home," did not seek help from allied nations, when the exiled nobles arranged by Xiao Xun heard about Saint Tiroman's predicament, they immediately notified all the troops they could contact. As the Griffin Cavalry, which was relatively close to the capital of Saint Tiroman, they rushed over on their griffins without hesitation!
As they approached the sky above the capital of Saint Tiroman, a sharp-eyed Griffin Knight screamed, "Great Lord, look, what is that?"
A huge portal appeared in the sky, and one after another, Hellhounds emerged from it.
"It's demons! Demons from the Devil's Legion!"
He recognized the identity of those guys at a glance, after all, half of their territory was occupied by the Devil's Legion, and he vividly remembered that battle. "Damn it, I knew Saint Tiroman couldn't fall so easily. This is all a conspiracy of demons!"
A torrent of Stormhammers was hurled at the enormous demons. Although these Hellhounds were powerful, even the strongest could not withstand the onslaught of multiple attackers. Under the siege of the Griffin Knights, how could they possibly survive?
"Damn it, where did these griffins come from?" Seeing the Hellhounds he had painstakingly summoned, which might have turned the tide, being so easily brought down, Horton's entire face turned red. "I'll catch them and roast them!"
Demon King envoy Lapuoz teleported over. As soon as he appeared, he hurriedly said to those in front of him, "Saint Tiroman's reinforcements have arrived."
Many were surprised and said, "So soon?"
Lapuoz nodded, "I know them, they are the Griffin Cavalry who have been fighting against the Devil's Legion."
"Boss, what do we do now?"
A person who had been silent all along suddenly stood up, holding a blood-red long spear with two spearheads, more like a fork, with the tails of the two spearheads winding down to the shaft.
"Execute the second plan."
At this moment, on the roof of the Fire Shield Divine King Palace, Seilerphees, who was constantly observing the battle situation, received the report that a group of demons had flown into the sky but were quickly struck down by a Griffin Cavalry.
Upon hearing this, Seilerphees asked the Prime Minister beside her, "Griffin Cavalry? Aren't those troops from the neighboring country? Why are they here?"
The Prime Minister replied, "It should be those exiled nobles who got the news. They often come to the capital to play."
"I didn't expect that what Swain put right under their noses back then would actually be useful."
Just then, a humanoid creature with a pair of wings on its back and a pair of sheep horns on its head flew into the sky.
With a wave of his hand, a dark green shockwave appeared, and then several Griffin Knights' bodies turned a dim gray, falling from the sky!
Then, the figure clasped his hands together, and dark green flames swirled around him. Immediately, seven or eight meteorites burning with green flames descended from the sky!
These meteorites continuously struck the city walls of Saint Tiroman, disrupting the formations and quickly transforming into stone golems burning with green flames.
However, then, this guy rushed towards another group of Griffin Knights.
"This guy seems to be Horton's secret weapon." Although facing immense losses, Empress Seilerphees showed no panic.
Just as everyone in the Fire Shield Divine King Palace was observing the battle in the sky, a magic array opened behind them.
The magic array disappeared, and a man in black, holding a red double-headed spear, lunged towards Seilerphees.
Just as the man in black thought he had succeeded and was excited, the spear tip stopped about a meter away from Seilerphees and could not be pushed any further, nor could it be pulled out.
