Ji Fengyao responded to all these well-intentioned remarks with a bright smile.

Many burly men, while fighting ferocious beasts, accidentally bumped into Ji Fengyao and turned around, shouting fiercely, "What are you doing causing trouble here, little girl!"

Given the unusual circumstances, Ji Fengyao didn't bother with them. She simply stepped aside to make room for them to continue fighting, while she went about her own business.

She didn't have enough array materials to withstand the relentless and ever-growing attacks of the beast tide. So she fixed the array base to the city wall, with the array wall just overlapping the city wall, barely protecting it from being torn apart by a single claw of a monster.

In this way, people inside the city could climb the walls and kill the ferocious beasts.

However, the mutated beasts and monsters that leap onto the walls will be blocked from entering the city.

Wherever Ji Fengyao went.

Many soldiers and martial arts practitioners discovered that the ferocious beasts, which had originally dodged their attacks and were about to rush into the city, were inexplicably bounced back in mid-air.

This eerie scene sent a chill down one's spine.

"God bless Mangcheng! Heaven is on our side! Everyone, let's do our best to kill these blind beasts! Tomorrow we'll all have a barbecue to celebrate!"

Someone shouted, and the soldiers and those already passionate martial arts practitioners became even more excited, their battle cries shaking the heavens.

When Gong Zhi, the garrison commander of Mangcheng, arrived with a large number of soldiers, the city walls on all sides were already engulfed in carnage, with blood and gore everywhere.

Beneath the outer city walls, the corpses of ferocious beasts were everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.

The ferocious beasts behind them, smelling the strong stench of blood in the air, became even more ferocious and charged forward relentlessly, seemingly without regard for their lives.

"My lord," Gong Zhi approached Hei Xiao with a heart full of fear and trepidation, utterly bewildered and aggrieved: "This subordinate is too late. I never dreamed that something like this would happen in Mang City..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get your men ready for emergency combat." Black Owl frowned slightly, unable to stand the annoying and useless bureaucratic tone.

Shang Xiye instructed Wuying and Wuhen to take over their defensive positions, then turned to Gong Zhi and said, "This is likely to be a protracted battle, and the fighting may become increasingly dangerous. You should quickly send someone to gather and assess all the fighting forces in Mangcheng, and have them disperse to the city walls. There's only so much space on the walls; if everyone rushes up at once, it's easy to cause friendly fire, which is detrimental to the battle, chaotic, and a waste of energy."

The women in the city should also be mobilized to allocate resources and prepare hot water and food for the soldiers and warriors, ensuring logistical support.

All the doctors in the city were also on standby, ready to treat the wounded at any time.

Gong Zhi stared blankly at Shang Xiye, who looked completely unfamiliar. He felt that what Shang Xiye said was logical and reasonable, but he was also concerned about Hei Xiao's reputation and could not agree immediately.

Black Owl swung his sword and slashed at another mutated beast, then impatiently kicked Gong Zhi: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and do as I say!"

Gong Zhi said, looking aggrieved, "...Yes, yes, yes!"

You're all bosses!

We can't afford to offend them! We can't afford to offend them!

Ji Fengyao returned safely after completing the construction of the city's protective array, which put Shang Xiye, Ji Chenhai, and the others at ease.

Looking at the ever-growing pile of beast corpses below the city, Ji Fengyao said worriedly, "We can't let these corpses pile up like this, otherwise it will be easier and easier for the beast tide to get onto the city walls later."

“Use kerosene; there’s kerosene on the city wall,” a nearby soldier immediately said.
