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

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yulong possesses the ability to transform into a demonic form.

All members of the Ye family possess a special demonic bloodline talent, one of which is demonization.

However, very few mutants possess this talent; within the Ye family, only a handful can transform into a demon.

Night Song is one of them, but he can only unlock it when he reaches the Hundred Souls Realm; Grandpa Night Spring is also one of them, and he also has the ability to transform into a demon, a talent that even his father Night Owl does not possess.

However, this does not mean that the upper limit of the Night Family members who cannot transform into demons is lower than that of those who can. There are also many other powerful talents in the demonic bloodline talent.

For example, Ye Shengxiong's demonic bloodline talent is to use women as furnaces for his own cultivation. In addition, he is a cultivator. As long as he lives long enough, his potential is actually very high. It's just a pity that he was later damaged by the Blood Spirit Illusion Technique and did many shocking and awe-inspiring stupid things.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Ge's eyes flashed with technological brilliance as he scanned Ye Yulong's attribute panel.

After entering his demonic form, Ye Yulong's attributes increased fivefold!

"Boom--!"

He flapped his enormous wings and flew forward, creating a sonic boom right where he landed!

However, Ye Ge could also clearly see that a special black energy bar had appeared in Ye Yulong's status bar.

The energy bar is being consumed rapidly, and it's clear that the demon form will end when the energy bar is completely depleted.

Therefore, Ye Yulong wasted no time and, like an arrow, crashed headfirst into the belly of the water giant.

The sharp, demonic claws tore apart the armor formed from water-attribute soul power on the water giant's abdomen with a single strike.

"Crack—"

The water spirit power instantly dissipated, and the armor belt shattered into pink crystals, eventually turning into flowing water.

"Shh-"

"Shhh-"

Ye Yulong's speed was so fast that it was impossible to see with the naked eye.

All that could be seen was a dark green shooting star rapidly flashing around the water giant.

The enormous claws kept tearing through the air, leaving behind afterimages of the claws.

Then, they successively shattered the water giant's breastplate, greaves, shoulder armor, and gauntlets...

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"boom!"

Kant was dumbfounded, his voice trembling: "This is impossible..."

He quickly formed hand seals, attempting to control the water giant to launch a counterattack.

However, the dozens of black-clad warriors who rushed onto the river had already surrounded the water giant at his feet.

"Formation - Death Soul Curse Array!"

Each of the black-clad warriors swung out an iron chain that emitted a dark green light.

More than thirty iron chains were used to bind and lock all parts of the water giant's body, including his waist, chest, abdomen, arms, wrists, thighs, ankles, and neck.

Iron chains bound the water giant's body, each chain bearing faint runes.

Make it unable to move!

"Boom--!"

After the Water Giant's armor was completely destroyed, Night Jade Dragon crashed into its chest at supersonic speed.

Then it pierced through from behind!

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble..."

The water giant, over 300 meters tall, instantly melted and collapsed like a melting ice sculpture, turning into flowing liquid and falling back into the river.

"Heh." Night Owl chuckled at the sight. With the water giant no longer blocking his way, he raised his hand again: "Mage, gunners, prepare for suppressive fire; warriors and cavalry, prepare to charge up the city walls."

Ye Qingxin clasped her hands together: "Fourth-tier support skill - Gate of Acceleration!"

Guns and fireballs were unleashed again at full power, bombarding the opposite bank of the river.

And this time the firepower is significantly stronger, more intense, and more concentrated than before!

Meanwhile, the warriors and knights, under the cover of fire, charged forward across the water almost unscathed.

After a barrage of intense bombardment, the newly constructed city gates of Jiangcheng, as well as the newly built defensive towers of the surrounding fortresses, were once again completely destroyed...

The city gate and fortress were in a state of chaos.

All the tower remains collapsed into ruins and were submerged in water.

A large number of soldiers on the city wall died, lying haphazardly at the crenellations.

Blood flowed down the city wall, staining the river red...

It looked extremely tragic and miserable.

Night Owl said, "Alright, let's withdraw."

The bugle call to retreat sounded.

Night Owl turned to look at Night Song and smiled: "The letter you suggested writing should be coming in handy soon."

Ye Ge shrugged: "No, I think they can stay stubborn for a while longer."

"Is that so?" Night Owl gazed at the opposite bank of the river, his eyes filled with disdain. "Then I hope they can be stubborn for a while longer."

The Ye family withdrew their troops again.

Count Kant sat on the city wall, his backside pressed against the corner, his face smudged with black spots, breathing heavily, looking utterly bewildered.

This is ridiculous... it would be better to just storm in and kill them with one blow!

The consequences of this bombardment are more severe than the last one.

Not only were the city gates and defensive towers destroyed, but the power generation equipment, filtration equipment, and energy pipelines inside the city were also damaged to some extent, and several cracks appeared in the more than 1,000-meter-long city wall.

That evening, Count Condé and five other nobles tallied the casualties.

Last time, they lost more than 800 soldiers and were wounded more than 2,000; this time, their casualties have soared to 5,000!

One of the twenty extraordinary warriors of the Myriad Manifestations Realm that Wang En sent a few days ago died in this battle today!

An invisible pressure loomed over the six nobles...

For the next two weeks.

The Ye family launched several more attacks.

Every time Jiangcheng's defensive structures were completed, the Ye family's army would appear on the opposite bank and destroy all the newly repaired city gates, walls, and turrets.

Each time Jiangcheng was destroyed, its defenses underwent a major upgrade. The materials used for the city walls and gates increased from 10% magic steel powder to 50%, then to the more expensive scale gray stone bricks, and finally to pink-quality holy scale stone bricks—extraordinary materials used in the outer walls of the Great Qin capital...

Each repair costs a huge amount of money, and the consumption of materials is another aspect.

The turrets and magic towers they built have been upgraded time and time again, increasing their range from one kilometer to ten kilometers.

However, no matter how much Jiangcheng's defenses were upgraded, they always seemed utterly vulnerable to the next attack from the Ye family.

The Ye family never entered the city during their attacks; they only bombed and destroyed it, at most rushing up the city walls to kill a few people.

The number of soldiers killed and wounded is increasing. Of the original 50,000 soldiers defending the city, nearly 10,000 have died, and half of the remaining 40,000 are in hospitals.

Construction, medical care, food, supplies, materials... one expense after another flowed out like a rushing river.

And what about the Ye family?

The death toll is probably less than a hundred!

The six nobles lived in constant fear, wondering when the Ye family's fireballs and cannonballs would once again bombard them.

Count Condé seemed to have suddenly realized something.

“I’m starting to understand what the Ye family is trying to do…” Kant said with a heavy sigh.

"Huh?" Viscount Robin was stunned and looked at him blankly.

“I originally thought that the Ye family’s repeated attacks that failed to penetrate our defenses were just a tactic to scare us and launch a psychological warfare campaign.” Earl Conde smiled bitterly. “Now I understand that the Ye family is not only attacking our hearts, but more importantly, they are trying to deplete our resources.”

Jiangcheng is the most important city-state south of the Southern Border. They know that Wang En would never abandon it, so they can only continuously send them supplies and money, and help them upgrade their city defenses...

You have to understand that war is all about money. If this continues, their entire traitorous alliance will be dragged down by Jiangcheng...

“And…” Earl Conde paused, then said slowly and deliberately, “They want to force Wang En to show himself through this method.”
