Wang Zheng, single-handedly holding the line, swung his sword wildly, watching the spiritual energy limit on the data panel rise continuously, and muttered to himself.
Quite some time has passed since the Demon King attacked the city. Even if the main force of reinforcements from Spring City couldn't come, the vanguard must have already arrived.
But after fighting for so long, no reinforcements have arrived. If it weren't for me blocking the poisonous insects, Tengchong City would have been lost long ago. This is clearly unreasonable.
Wang Zheng looked up at the seemingly endless herd of strange beasts and asked in bewilderment:
"Staff Officer Ke, what about the reinforcements? Have they made contact with the Yunnan-Yunnan Military Region headquarters?"
Judging from the current situation, let alone several hours, it might not even last an hour. The riverbank within the city stretches for 20 kilometers; how can it be defended?
Faced with Wang Zheng's question, Ke An remained uncharacteristically silent.
At first, Wang Zheng thought it was a communication problem, so he repeated himself.
After a long pause, Ke An stammered out some data without giving a direct answer.
"Baoshan City has a population of nearly 2 million. Without the protection of city walls like those in Tengchong, 13 demon kings attacked the city at the same time, and the entire city fell, trapping millions of civilians."
Yeyu, with a population of 500,000, was attacked by four demon kings. Only one extraordinary being remained in the city, who died on the spot. The city has now fallen, and countless people have been killed or injured...
The town of Dayan, with a population of one million, was attacked by seven demon kings. Because of its proximity to Sichuan, it received their support immediately and is still holding on.
The Yunnan Military Region has limited military strength, and its number of superhumans is far less than that of the Demon King. Moreover, Tengchong has the fewest people and is the farthest away..."
Wang Zheng was puzzled; the number of demon kings was incorrect.
Six came to Tengchong, 13 went to Baoshan, and four went to Yeyu. In these three cities alone, there are already 23 demon kings. Where did the seven demon kings in Dayan Town come from?
In other words, the Peacock Demon King has a reserve force that he is unaware of.
Thinking about this, Wang Zheng felt incredibly lucky that he hadn't been caught swindling and cheating in his territory before.
Thinking about it now sends chills down my spine.
However, Wang Zheng understood the meaning behind Ke An's words in just a moment. Tengchong City, as a small city on the front line, has been able to hold out until now because of the protection of the city walls and the presence of the military.
In addition, the city only has a small number of ordinary civilians, and the vast majority are adventurers, so they are still holding on.
Baoshan and Yeyu, located in the rear, were not frontline cities.
Although it is also located on the border, it is far less dangerous than Tengchong, where there are demon king forces within its borders.
In addition, the military has been sending out to clear out the alien beasts in a timely manner in recent years, so as long as you don't go far from the city, there is no danger at all.
Furthermore, there has never been an incident of a demon king suddenly attacking a city, and besides, the strange beasts clearly have no interest in towns.
Due to the suddenness of the situation, both cities behind the city had already fallen.
The other side is closer, has a larger population, and is in a more serious situation, which means that Tengchong City no longer has any reinforcements.
"Grass!"
Wang Zheng cursed angrily, but he quickened his pace. Perhaps if he killed one more beast, one less of his comrades would die soon.
Now he held nothing back, no longer considering his own gains or losses. His two longswords, wreathed in poisonous flames, transformed into deadly blades, striking one enormous beast after another, instantly tearing them to shreds.
Blood splattered into the air like bright red roses before quickly burning away. The spiritual energy crystals, coated with the candle flames, exploded into bursts of energy.
As strange beasts poured into the city from all sides, the widest main road in the city was now packed with them. Countless beasts were pushed and shoved into the river by the horde, struggling to get closer to the other side...
Some of the more agile beasts tried to jump across the river, only to be blasted into dazzling fireworks by the army on the opposite bank using various supernatural abilities.
At this moment, Ke An's voice finally came through Wang Zheng's headset.
"The evacuation of Xicheng District is complete! The evacuation of Xicheng District is complete!"
Wang Zheng, who was still fighting, heard the sound and instinctively looked up. He saw that the already narrow river was instantly filled with struggling monsters, and countless people were trampled and drowned.
At this moment, countless strange beasts were still rushing towards the other side of the river. The white stone bridge connecting the two banks had now become a meat grinder, with blood and corpses everywhere.
Blood mist filled the air, severed limbs flew about, and the stench of blood instantly filled every inch of the surrounding air.
Countless drops of viscous blood flowed down the pristine white bridge piers and into the murky riverbed below.
Wang Zheng's gaze swept past these strange beasts.
Just a few dozen meters away were rows of young soldiers with resolute faces. However, compared to the nearly 20-kilometer-long riverbank, the soldiers on the shore were sparsely arranged, clearly indicating that they had suffered heavy losses.
Further on, there were scattered civilians standing behind these soldiers on the street.
They were either well-dressed or bare-chested, but they all shared a bloodthirsty fighting spirit and were covered in blood.
Wang Zheng was still shouting in a dialect he couldn't understand.
Those who have held on until now without retreating must be shouting battle cries.
