Chapter 922: A Well Defended Village
-----
Blake had prepared just in case Lilith pulled something like this. Mostly out of experience and a slight sense of paranoia. He had battled these Archdemons for hundreds of years in the past. He knew their tactics, he knew how director indirect they were, and he knew how they worked.
While Beelzebub and Satan were more direct fighters that would just go all-out right away and think about everything else later, Lilith was different.
She was the Archdemon of Lust, someone that was good at planning, strategizing, and controlling others. She had probably manipulated the other Archdemons to give her some of their troops, slowly preparing all for this moment. The very reason why her vessel was so much larger and tougher than the others was because unlike them, she had been creating this vessel for over five years.
She was someone extremely cautious, and Blake knew there was no way she would simply attack him directly with ten thousand demons and be done with it… She was someone that would always have several trump cards below her sleeve. And to properly defeat her, he learned to have twice as many as hers.
Therefore, just in case, he prepared half of his troops, leaving them behind as Familiar Corpses, rose them as Undead, and placed them around the walls of the village. At the same time, and much previously, he had already made other plans.
Fully knowing Lilith was the one in the Elios Garden already, he secretly mobilized his troops. Two hundred Adventurers and Mercenaries were contracted by the Adventurer Guild, a hundred bishops had just arrived in the village this morning, and all the Hunters, led by his father, were present there as well as all his friends.
Erika and Elizabeth, alongside his siblings, were actually the only ones kept in the dark. Even Eleanora and the other Vampire Spirits knew what Blake was doing! Another reason why only half his Vampire Spirits were in this battle too, was because the others were defending the village.
"They're coming!"
"So he wasn't wrong!"
"Guild Master, there's at least ten thousand demons coming our way!"
The Adventurers gathered around the Adventurer Guild Master, the bald man had been in countless battlefields before, and knew of many tactics.
"I see, very well. Let's greet them with Blake's troops in the front. Everyone else, prioritize your lives and safety, fight from afar! Use the magic bows Blake rented to us!" The Guild Master commanded. "They come with fixed abilities for accuracy, so anybody can wear them slightly accurately!"
"Oohh!"
"Amazing, that's a thing?!"
"These bows… And the magic arrows!"
"FIRE!"
As the Demons approached, a rain of magic arrows descended from the skies, greeting them with a bombardment of holy light explosions. Indeed, every arrow was being blessed by the bishops the cardinal had brought along, all from Blake's own requests.
"I can't believe that boy predicted demons to come to the village! He's truly something else." The Cardinal laughed, his holy spiritual magic activated, as he wielded a giant golden staff spirit as his main spirit summon. "{Holy Cathedral Domain}!"
FLAAASH!
A Domain of pure light encompassed the whole village, over fifty kilometers were instantly covered. The hundreds of bishops spread over the walls, combing their magic into an incredibly intricate magic ritual. Something that Blake's golems have set up beforehand. Yes, those little spider golems he had spread everywhere.
The holy light deterred the demons from stepping forwards, burning their entire bodies once they were only twenty meters from touching the holy walls. In that time, Blake's friends and his father and the hunters attacked, abusing the domain's weakening effect.
"That damn Blake always doing what he pleases and not inviting us along!" Said Chris, slightly annoyed as he cut through countless demons with his gigantic spirit axe.
"Hahah, well, I am sure he didn't bring us along for this very reason! He wanted us to help protect the village just in case things became worse." Eric seemed optimistic, half his arm transformed into a gigantic wooden bow, firing beams of spiraling winds.
"We can finally make use of all the strength we've grown until now! Protect the village!" Alberta roared bravely, riding her giant golem spirit and firing countless cannons everywhere. Her hammer was smashing her foes to smithereens too.
"He's seriously a handful! And he brought his little siblings along?! He's insane!" Laughed Erdrich, his half-demonic body moved like a rampaging catastrophe across the battlefield. He ignored the words of the demons trying to deceive him, mercilessly crushing them with his sheer physical strength.
"Tch! Making me work in the middle of my damn vacations!" Elfriedden complained, his ice magic and powerful frost tool spirits spreading ice and destruction.
As Blake friends did their best with the variety of powers and abilities they possessed, becoming the NovelFirePs of the entire battlefield, the demon numbers continued to go down as Blake's Vampire Spirits slayed them alongside his Undead Familiars.
The hunters, led by Joan, Blake's father, were also doing their best. Even though they had many shortcomings, Joan had shared his way of growing stronger. Through the method of leveling, coupled with cultivating Ki, and then learning mana control and even use their skills in different ways, or even combine their effects into Techniques.
Naturally, these Hunters were no longer just some lame people, they had become an Elite force of their own! Joan led his group of a hundred Hunters, wielding his farming tools, made by his son using dragon bones and reinforced with high quality materials and mithril.
"{Farming Arts}: {Plow The Land}!"
With a mighty roar, Joan used his farming tools to lift the ground off, five hundred meters were lifted in a single second, and then fell over the demons right away, creating a gigantic earthquake.
TRUUUUMMM…!!!
The demons were crushed, and at least a few hundred died instantly after that. Blake's friends and even the Guild Master were left speechless as they saw the young man's father abilities. Those were definitely not the moves of a One-Star Farmer Talent!
"Just like his son, huh?" Elfriedden commented.
