Only three phoenixes refused to give up and gave chase.
Of course, Lu Ping deliberately let them chase.
Of course Lu Ping would not admit that the three phoenixes were his, so making them disappear was the best way, and then Lu Ping could pretend to be confused.
When the phoenixes run away, Lu Ping will naturally take them back.
Soon, the black dragon crocodile and the three phoenixes disappeared in the distance.
Lu Ping then took back the three phoenixes and told everyone to return to the city immediately.
Although the black dragon crocodile escaped, the herd is still there.
At this time, they had already surrounded us.
Hearing Lu Ping's call, the soldiers immediately returned to the city.
"Commander Lu, this is truly eye-opening. I, Old Zhao, am convinced!"
As soon as Lu Ping came back, Zhao Yuanyi came up to him and exclaimed with deep admiration in his tone.
"Haha, it was just luck." Lu Ping waved his hand modestly.
"Commander, you are too modest. Who can compare with your strength?" Zhao Yuanyi shook his head.
"Ahem, this isn't just my achievement. It's all thanks to the soldiers who helped me."
"It's just that... the soldiers suffered heavy casualties."
As he spoke, Lu Ping glanced at the soldiers.
At this moment, the soldiers were all standing aside. Except for a few who were intact, most of them were injured.
It’s okay to be injured, there will always be a day to recover.
But the sacrifice can never be taken back.
"Alas... When will this damn beast herd end?" Zhao Yuanyi sighed, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.
This team was formed by Zhao Yuanyi himself, and every member was carefully selected by him. Now that so many people have been sacrificed, how can he not be sad?
"Deputy Commander Zhao, don't be sad. The dead are gone, and we who are still alive must continue to live."
Seeing this scene, a soldier stood up and said.
"Well, I understand. Everyone has worked hard. Let's go back and get treatment quickly." Zhao Yuanyi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and regained his composure.
"Yes!" The soldiers responded and left.
"Commander, you've all worked hard, go back and rest."
"The Black Dragon Crocodile has been repelled, and the herd should retreat soon. I'll take care of things here, so don't worry."
After the soldiers left, Zhao Yuanyi said to Lu Ping.
"Well, let's go back and rest. I'll trouble you here."
Lu Ping nodded and left with Xia Mo and others.
Lu Ping wanted to go back and have a good rest. Forcing himself to use his mental power gave him a splitting headache.
Not only Lu Ping, but also Xia Mo and others had their mental strength exhausted and were in very bad condition.
After returning to the villa, everyone quickly washed up and went to bed.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning. I had slept for seventeen or eighteen hours.
But my mental state is indeed much better, at least my headache is not as severe anymore.
After washing up, Lu Ping went downstairs.
There were only Yun Yao and the other two in the living room; the others were probably still asleep.
"Husband, are you feeling better?"
Seeing Lu Ping coming downstairs, Yun Yao asked with concern.
"Well, I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern." Lu Ping smiled.
"I'm glad you're okay. My husband must be hungry. I'll bring you breakfast."
Yun Yao said with a smile, casually walking towards the kitchen.
After a while, the delicious food was served.
Lu Ping didn't hesitate and started eating with big mouthfuls.
A hearty meal made Lu Ping feel much better.
After dinner, Lu Ping sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
After a while, light footsteps were heard and Xia Mo and others walked down the stairs.
"Seeing that you are in good condition, I feel relieved."
Seeing that everyone looked good, Lu Ping said with a smile.
"I still have a slight headache, but it's much better now."
Xia Mo replied with a smile.
"I'm glad you're okay. You must be hungry. Come eat quickly, and then we'll go to the front line."
Lu Ping nodded.
"Um…"
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
After dinner, Lu Ping led everyone to the city wall.
The battle is still going on at this moment, both inside and outside the city.
However, it is obvious that the intensity has dropped a lot compared to the previous few days. Although the number of the peripheral beast groups is still huge, the frequency and intensity of the attacks have slowed down a lot.
Lu Ping estimated that they would stop attacking in a few days.
The situation inside the city is even more optimistic. After unremitting efforts, the beast herd has now been compressed into a very small area, and it will take only a few days to completely eliminate them.
Most areas in the city have been cleared, and the reconstruction of the city walls can begin. A large number of clones and construction machinery have entered the city and started construction work.
Lu Ping watched from the city wall for a while, then opened the system to check the number of soldiers killed in the past two days.
After some investigation, it was found that Lu Ping lost a total of 20 million soldiers in the two days of fighting.
To revive 10 million of these high-ranking soldiers would be equivalent to losing 10 million.
This loss is not small, but it is within the acceptable range.
After resurrecting the soldiers, Lu Ping then recalled all the soldiers and replaced them with new soldiers to fight.
After the battle, the ranks of the early soldiers were generally raised to above level nine, which basically met Lu Ping's requirements.
Lu Ping has 300 million soldiers, and their ranks must be upgraded.
"Commander, at this rate, we can completely eliminate the beasts in the city in three days, and the city wall can be built within seven days."
At this time, Zhao Yuanyi came up and said.
“Yeah, very good!”
"Once we've settled this, we'll keep working on it and try to fully retake the East China Sea as soon as possible!" Lu Ping said with a smile.
"Yes, I understand." Zhao Yuanyi accepted the order.
…
Time passed, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The beasts outside the city gradually calmed down and no longer launched attacks.
The beasts in the city have been basically cleared out, with only a small number of remnants hiding in various places, waiting to be further cleared out.
It is impossible to clean up everything at once. It will take a long time because the city is too big and there are too many buildings. Monsters can easily find hiding places. We can only take it slowly and clean up whenever we find them.
What surprised Lu Ping was that during these two days, the soldiers rescued many survivors.
And there are quite a few of them, totaling over ten thousand people.
These people either hide underground, on rooftops, or in self-built shelters.
It’s hard to imagine how they managed to survive for a whole year.
When Lu Ping saw them, they all looked haggard, had dull eyes, unkempt hair and dirty faces, and some even had hair growing on their bodies.
The vast majority of them are men, with very few women, and their levels are all very low, with the lowest not even reaching level ten.
A low level means not having much reputation points, and without reputation points, you cannot exchange for daily necessities to maintain basic life.
So it’s not surprising that he is in such a mess.
"Take them down and resettle them. By the way, see if you can exchange all the soldiers they have. It's probably useless to keep them." Lu Ping instructed Zhang Kai beside him.
