Rich spiritual energy floats in this world. This is a new world where the strong run rampant, a new ghoul feeding ground yet to be explored.
...
Diezhang City is located on a mountain peak, and the city wall is almost an extension of the cliff upwards.
Therefore, it would not matter even if the city walls were covered with gun muzzles.
In any case, they were attacking from a high place towards the bottom of the cliff.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The moment the demon soldiers appeared within the range, the cannon muzzles on the upper part of the city wall roared.
Then, the fired shells turned into afterimages and smashed towards the mountains and forests.
“Boom—!”
The sound of explosions continued, echoing in the valley.
The explosion caused trees to fall and the earth to shake.
Most of the demon soldiers were within the explosion range.
Their bodies were torn apart by the shock wave, leaving only the blooming bright red in their place.
Those who were lucky enough to be affected by the explosion survived but were seriously injured.
Either they lost their arms or legs, or they fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
“Retreat!”
The demon clan's temporarily selected front-line commander immediately ordered a retreat.
The number of people who broke in this time was limited.
The complex terrain also means that subsequent troops cannot provide quick support.
Once they are weakened to the point where they pose no threat by Diezhang City's psychic cannons, they will inevitably be killed by the human defenders in the city.
By then, not only would the target not be captured, but an entire troop would also be lost.
If they tell anyone, how will the demon race put their faces aside?
The commander hid in a place covered by rocks at the rear.
At this moment, he frowned slightly, staring at the battlefield in front of him, thinking quickly about how to deal with the situation.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and decisively issued a new order.
"Team one and team two, stay behind and conduct a feint attack!"
His eyes swept over the remaining demon warriors from Team One and Team Two.
These soldiers were the main force of the vanguard just now, and they faced the first round of bombing of Diezhang City.
Therefore, their numbers have been greatly reduced, and most of those who survived are injured.
Commanders believed they were now more suitable to act as bait rather than fight, creating opportunities for other forces.
The commander's gaze stayed there for only a moment before shifting to focus on the other soldiers.
"The rest of you, immediately go around to the other side of Diezhang City's wall."
"Find a suitable location outside the bombardment range and start digging the tunnel."
Digging from underground is undoubtedly a stupid method.
However, it is the most direct and effective strategy against the defenders of Diezhang City, which has the geographical advantage.
Furthermore, due to the terrain restrictions of Diezhang City, it cannot expand outward.
This means that in the past years, Diezhang City could not have failed to develop the space inside the mountains.
Therefore, even though most of the completed interior areas have been given solid protective walls, those areas where work is still underway will likely have some gaps.
The demon clan has every chance to enter Diezhang City from underground.
This is the idea of the demon commander, which is exactly the same as the concern of the lord of Diezhang City.
Yan Fei saw the city lord's worry and comforted him softly.
"Don't worry, sir. Our reinforcements are on the way."
After listening to this, the city lord just smiled politely and nodded, indicating that he understood.
Obviously, he didn't hold out much hope.
The rugged terrain nearby can trap the demon reinforcements, and naturally it can also trap the human race.
Rather than relying on support troops from some unknown high-level faction, it is better to rely on ourselves.
Yan Fei couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the city lord didn't relax at all, but looked even more tense.
Forget it. The awakened ones in heaven travel fast anyway, so they should be here soon.
…
At this moment, there was a brief standoff inside and outside Diezhang City.
The perspective turns back to the mountains and forests outside the orc territory.
At this moment, the fog was thick, completely covering the area within a radius of ten miles.
The ten thousand soldiers sent by the Beast Tribe's high-level officials arrived late and stopped at the border of the fog area.
"Remember, our mission is to recover the experimental subject. The safety of the subject comes first!"
"yes!"
Without further delay, the army rushed into the fog.
It's like a stream that flows into the sea, and then is completely swallowed up and disappears without a trace.
In the fog, Zisui, who was sitting on a tree branch, suddenly opened his eyes and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Finally here! The efficiency of the beast tribe's leaders is really slow."
He fell from the tree, tapped the ground with his toes, and rushed towards the direction of his prey.
A moment later, he appeared on the top of an ancient tree that the orc army passed by.
After these soldiers enter the fog area, they will inhale a large amount of feather dust carrying RC cells with every breath.
In Zi Sui's perception, as the blood circulates, there are traces of RC cells in various areas of their bodies.
As soon as Zi Sui thought about it, these RC cells began to produce the toxin [Bone Cancer].
The advancing army suddenly stopped, as if the pause button was pressed.
In about half a minute, ten thousand beastmen soldiers turned into living puppets and returned in the direction they came from.
Under Zi Sui's control, they will attack the orc territory, causing chaos and attracting the attention of most of the orc high-level officials.
This will give Zi Sui more time to find the orc laboratory responsible for researching undead cells and the Eye of Madness.
As for the Beast Tribe's Sky Control Realm, due to the existence of the planet's will, he cannot mobilize too much power to take action.
As long as he doesn't use his full strength, Zi Sui, who can evacuate across space, can escape safely.
Leaving behind a large area of thick fog to interfere with the enemy's judgment, he escaped into the different space.
Afterwards, he followed the army that had turned into puppets towards the orc territory.
…
Deep in the Tianpiao Ocean, Hu Lingling, who had obtained important documents from the First Research Institute of the Sea Clan, was evacuating towards Yueluo Island.
The deep and dark seabed makes people lose most of their perception of space and time.
Without any reference, Hu Lingling could only walk by feeling.
She didn't dare to stop, as the pursuers behind her might catch up with her while she was resting.
She didn't slow down until the communicator she was carrying vibrated slightly.
I quickly checked the communication and it seemed to be from the demon army stationed in the southern part of Yueluozhou.
"There are unusual movements among the Huanshui Sea Clan's troops. Do not approach for the time being."
"Our army will launch an attack on the sea tribe in half an hour. Please take action after receiving notification."
Hu Lingling immediately understood.
The sea people most likely notified the troops remaining in Huanshuizhou and the southern coast of Yueluo, hoping to wait and see.
If she hadn't had the cover of the demon army, she would have been very likely to be captured due to the long journey and her physical and mental exhaustion.
So she stopped walking and immediately headed towards the seabed below.
The seabed of Tianpiaoyang is not very flat, with many strange rocky mountains and gullies rising and falling, which is very suitable for hiding.
She planned to hide here first, wait for notification, and recover her strength.
Along the coast of Yueluozhou, because of her, the two armies clashed again.
And with the deliberate instigation of the demon clan, the situation became more intense.
