As countless sounds of battle and beast roars echoed, countless soldiers and strange beasts fell into pools of blood, severely wounded.

Even with the help of healing squads, the casualty ratio of melee groups was still extremely high.

However, they accomplished their mission brilliantly, preventing the beast tide from advancing any further.

Even if they are covered in wounds and unable to get up from the ground, they will still self-destruct when the beasts deliver the fatal blow, taking these beasts down with them.

Chief of Staff Ke An stared blankly as these veterans charged fearlessly into the beast tide.

A group of people laughed and joked as they fought on the battlefield, some getting burned, others scratched and bitten by the sharp claws and teeth of strange beasts.

Regardless of the extent of their injuries, they were all extremely excited at this moment, as if they had already seen the dawn of victory.

This scene is exhilarating!

Watching the soldiers below shed their blood on the frontier, laughing and joking as they completely disregarded life and death, Wang Zheng felt a pang of unease.

Although there were still quite a few A-level Awakened in the army at this time, they were facing Rank 6 beasts that outnumbered them several times over.

If they wanted to escape alone at this point, they would have a very good chance of surviving.

However, none of them chose to turn back. Instead, they all rushed into the endless horde of beasts to protect the civilians behind them.

So what exactly are these soldiers after? Aren't they afraid of sacrificing themselves?

Perhaps this is the mission of soldiers.

Wang Zheng asked himself if he had such a sense of responsibility.

The answer is obvious.

He kept reassuring himself and trying to control his anger.

'Between pointless sacrifice and preserving strength for revenge, I would definitely choose the latter.'

If I act impulsively now, I will only sacrifice myself in vain, and may even endanger the soldiers below the city. Before I can think of a suitable reason, I absolutely cannot act, nor can I even show any anger.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

Just as Wang Zheng was racking his brains for an excuse, the roar of explosions continued, and the land outside the city gates was stained blood red by the endless fighting.

An endless stench of blood rose into the sky, even permeating the air with a suffocating smell.

Wang Zheng wanted to go down and help, but when he saw the Peacock Demon King's ambiguous smile, he hesitated.

The only two extraordinary individuals in Tengchong City have already lured away all five foreign demon kings. If the Peacock Demon King were to make another move now, none of the people in the city would survive.

Upon realizing this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but say:

"Is this the big plan that the Demon King has been plotting recently? I don't understand. Besides attracting the attention and retaliation of China, what benefit could it bring to the Demon King?"

Moreover, the human race's high command possesses hidden strengths that have remained unrevealed.

Kong Xuan remained noncommittal, and said with a smile:

"Then just assume I came here to see what their true strength is, because you wouldn't tell me when I asked you."

"Demon King, you jest. With your wisdom, how could you do such a foolish thing?"

However, since the Demon King is unwilling to speak, I will not ask any further questions. I don't care, but I hope the Demon King will keep my background a secret.

There are very few people in China who know about my background, so please don't let the Demon King know. I have a big plan for the human race, hehe..."

As they spoke, the blockade by the melee group below was broken, and more and more alien beasts created gaps and rushed towards the city.

Just as the military formation was on the verge of collapse due to the onslaught of the strange beasts, countless shouts rang out from the city gate:

"Kill! Humanity will prevail!"

"Damn it, charge with me!"

"Brothers, we'll be rich after this battle! Where else can we find so many monsters to kill!"

"Damn it, give it a shot! A bicycle can turn into a motorcycle!"

...

Then, the Awakened Ones who had not yet evacuated from Tengchong City rushed out all at once.

They knew their combat strength was limited, so none of them recklessly rushed into the military headquarters' formation; instead, they did auxiliary work on the periphery.

Among this group, Deng Darong, who seemed to be a local, led his brothers to directly confront the breach created by the berserk armored rhinoceros. The curved blade in his hand drew a cold, crescent-shaped gleam as he stopped the beasts' charge.

There were also groups like the Lianshan team, who, after leaving the city, identified a direction and broke outwards.

There were also those like Tie Niu, who, in order to buy time for their loved ones to evacuate from the city, guarded the city walls and did not take the initiative to attack, only hoping to prevent the strange beasts from getting close.

In an instant, the sounds of various supernatural explosions, shouts of battle from the crowd, and roars of strange beasts mingled together, turning the entire western part of Tengchong City into complete chaos.

Although Wang Zheng appeared calm, he was also somewhat agitated by the countless lives lost after the city fell.

"Damn it, what the hell did this peacock do here! Why couldn't it just let me go secretly?"

"You didn't bring me along, so I can't see it, but leaving me here on the battlefield, just letting me watch this unfold, how can I live with myself like this!"

For a moment, the pangs of conscience made Wang Zheng restless.

Kong Xuan seemed to see through Wang Zheng's thoughts, and asked with a half-smile:

"What, you want to go down and help?"
