Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Now, all the energy facilities, defense facilities, ports, magic towers, and gun towers around our fortress have been destroyed by the Night family's relentless bombardment."

Count Condé finally broke the silence and oppressive atmosphere: "We need immediate funding and materials to repair the city gates and fortifications."

"Moreover, we need more magic towers and defensive turrets, as the existing tower defenses simply do not have enough range."

"The ability Ye Qingxin used allows their army to attack us directly from the other side of the river, more than ten kilometers away! A fireball that can fly more than ten kilometers, I've never seen anything like it in my life! Our range is simply not enough, how are we supposed to fight them?"

The holographic projection of Duke Wang En sat directly opposite them at the conference table, expressionless, his fingers interlaced on the table, quietly listening to all of Earl Kant's complaints.

“I understand,” said Duke Wang En. “I will send you supplies and workers as soon as possible to help you repair the city’s defenses.”

"And another thing," Earl Conde added, "our city gates are no match for the Ye family's attacks! There's a man in the Ye family with some kind of monstrous strength; despite only being at the Thousand Soul Realm, his explosive power and attack power are stronger than those at the Myriad Manifestations Realm! You must send better materials for the city gates, preferably Soul Steel!"

"Soul Steel?" Duke Wang En frowned. "Soul Steel is a supernatural material that is strictly controlled by the royal family at the first level. All Soul Steel in the mainland must be sent to the border for the construction of the Great Wall. Where do you expect me to find so much Soul Steel for you?"

"..." Earl Conde seemed to think the request was a bit unrealistic: "Then, you should at least send more powerful warriors to help us guard Jiangcheng. They should all be extraordinary warriors with the strength of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, at least a hundred!"

"One hundred? Do you think experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm are as common as cabbages on the street?" Duke Wang En said with some dissatisfaction, "Those at the Myriad Manifestations Realm have already met the standards for holding a noble title! Look at the kind of demands you're making!"

"boom!"

Count Kant slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "What can we do?! The situation is that we simply can't hold out! Didn't you see the intelligence? Our city gates were breached in less than half an hour! Our mage and gunner teams are clearly at the same transcendent level as their army's mage and gunner regiments, yet fighting them is like a king versus a silver player in a video game! The difference in output efficiency and combat skills is like night and day. How are you expecting us to fight?"

The other nobles at the table were stunned.

They never expected that Earl Conde would dare to slam his fist on the table with Wang En!

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

Previously, everyone only dared to smile obsequiously at Duke Wang En, not only because of his strength, but also because of his status as the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory.

But now, everyone is a traitor, and we're all in the same boat. In such a desperate situation, who can care about anything else?

Duke Wang En looked at Kant expressionlessly, remained silent for a while, and said, "I can only send you a maximum of twenty first-level experts of the Myriad Manifestations Realm. I will send you the rest of the funds and supplies as soon as possible."

"But no matter what, Jiangcheng must be defended, otherwise, once we are defeated, you should know what will happen if it falls into the hands of those madmen from the Ye family."

Kant remained silent.

Wang En's holographic communication connection was lost.

After the communication ended, the six nobles in the meeting hall fell into a deathly silence once again, each with their heads down, each making their own calculations.

Without a doubt, the Ye family will definitely come again.

This time, even with just two junior members of the Ye family attacking, they were completely overwhelmed. Imagine if they were facing Night Owl's army...

......

A few days later, the city gate of Jiangcheng was repaired.

The Ye family quickly received the intelligence and led their army to the other side of the river the next day.

The people of Jiangcheng had just finished repairing the city gate and breathed a sigh of relief when a dark mass of troops appeared on the opposite bank.

"The Ye family army is here! The Ye family army is here!"

The sentry on the fortress, pale-faced, cried out: "Sound the alarm immediately!"

Looking across the river at Jiangcheng, Yege noticed that many new magic towers and cannon towers had appeared around the city's fortress, clearly built in the last two days.

Ye Ge laughed and said, "It seems they've built quite a few new tower defenses."

Night Owl nodded: "Mm."

He raised his hand: "Gunners, prepare."

A group of gunners scattered, picked up their heavy weapons, and as the mechanical parts on the guns turned, they revealed gun barrels with frighteningly large calibers, all aiming at the opposite bank.

But this time.

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

An earthquake-like roar suddenly erupted, and the turbulent river water churned into whirlpools.

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes.

On the opposite bank of the river, a figure slowly flew into the air.

It was Earl Kant.

"Ha, so old Deng has finally decided to take matters into his own hands?" Night Owl grinned.

Count Kant clasped his hands together with a "snap," his eyes filled with soul energy and turned pure white, and wisps of flowing soul power swirled around his body.

The power of the Asura Realm expert was fully revealed!

The terrifying air currents caused the magnificent river to surge and churn continuously.

The earth trembled!

Ye Ge thought to herself, 'As expected of a powerhouse in the Asura Realm. Regardless of their combat strength, their aura is certainly impressive.'

"Seventh-tier superpower—Water Giant!"

"boom!"

"Boom boom..."

The surging river water suddenly gathered together.

A huge humanoid creature slowly rose from the water.

It eventually transformed into a 300-meter-tall water giant!

Meanwhile, Count Kant's soul power gradually materialized on the surface of the water giant's body, condensing into a pale blue armor.

A massive black shadow loomed over the Night Clan's army!

"After all, he's a powerful Asura Realm expert; he's got some skills." Night Owl commented.

Upon seeing the water giant, Ye Yulong revealed a hint of excitement: "Uncle Xiao, let me handle this one."

Night Owl glanced at him: "Sure, go ahead if you're interested."

Ye Yulong grinned, beckoned with his finger, and then leaped into the river. Dozens of warriors dressed in strange black clothes followed him.

When Kant saw that the person who went to fight was Ye Yulong, his eyes turned cold: "Night Owl, how dare you underestimate me! You won't make a move yourself, and only send a junior to test me? Then I'll make you regret it today!"

He quickly formed seals with his hands.

The enormous water giant suddenly moved, raising its huge fist and smashing it fiercely towards Ye Yulong!

"Boom!"

A huge splash was made on the surface of the water.

Ye Yulong's figure disappeared and reappeared in the water.

When he reappeared, his entire body was enveloped in a solidified ball of demonic flames, and his appearance gradually changed.

His height increased from 1.8 meters to 2 meters. His whole body was covered in a dark green color like ghostly flames. His skin and muscles became as dark and hard as lava, and a faint green light emanated from the gaps in his muscles. His pupils turned green and had jade-like patterns. A pair of large horns grew on his head, and a pair of huge wings grew on his back. His whole body was burning with raging ghostly flames.

Count Kant's eyes widened.

This is a rare variant of the demonized family's bloodline ability...

Demon transformation?!
