"Brother, are you alright?"
After Tang Wan escaped from the West Mountain Mine with the remaining dozen or so people, the Di You Squad rushed over to provide support. They knew that it was this person who suddenly made a move that had restrained the Holy Spirit Clan; otherwise, they would have faced a bitter battle.
"How can he be a True Spirit Realm expert?" Kong Jin, the deputy captain of the Earth Protection Squad, stared at the man in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.
Who would have thought that the person who helped them kill one God Realm cultivator and restrain another was actually a True Spirit Realm cultivator? And that doesn't even include the Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators who were shot down. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
"The Holy Spirit Clan has launched a full-scale attack, and we will have to trouble you all to go to the front line to guard the East City!" Jiang Yuan did not reveal his identity.
"Of course, of course!" Kong Jin was so shocked that he lost his ability to think, so he nodded without thinking when the other party got to the point.
"You two stay here to clean up the spoils and help me blow up the West Mountain mine tunnel, so that the Holy Spirit Clan can't sneak in!"
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he walked towards the Xishan Mine. He was determined to get his share of the spoils. Protecting the country was his duty, but he also deserved his share while fulfilling his responsibilities. Besides, this was what he was entitled to.
Watching the person leave, Kong Jin remarked, "That person was incredibly strong. Was he at the True Spirit Realm?"
"Can't you tell?" Wan Gaojie was speechless.
"What did you see?"
Wan Gaojie said thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, that person was Commander Jiang!"
"What, Commander Jiang?" Kong Jin was shocked.
"Now you know why he has the Medal of Honor and such high authority!" Wan Gaojie's eyes flickered slightly. They had voluntarily accepted the transformation since the beginning of the cataclysm, and by now their potential had been exhausted. Seeing someone like Jiang Yuan with unlimited potential, they subconsciously felt envious.
"Hiss, but why is he wearing a mask?"
"It's definitely to conceal their identities! Forget it, don't ask anymore. Knowing too much won't do us any good. Let's continue with our mission!"
"Then you two stay."
...
Jiang Yuan and Xiao Yu reunited, while Hong Tao and the other two had already left. At this moment, Dongcheng was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and if the Divine Realm did not appear, the Dongcheng garrison would quickly collapse.
"How is it? Have you given any specific instructions for the next step?" Jiang Yuan asked An Xiaoyu.
An Xiaoyu shook her head, looking at the light barrier outside the city that was even larger than the East City's defense system, and said, "Among the three divine mountains besieging the East City, there is the Big Dipper Divine Mountain, which belongs to the Array Spirit Clan. The array they set up covers the East City, making it an isolated city unable to transmit information to the outside world. Judging from the current level of the defense system, it will take at least a day to break the array!"
"In other words, it will take another day for Dongcheng to establish contact with the outside army!" Jiang Yuan pondered.
"That's right."
An Xiaoyu's expression was slightly solemn. She continued, "Now I'm afraid that the troops sent by Tianfu will be ambushed by the Holy Spirit Clan. After all, they have lost all information about Dongcheng. It would be too risky for them to rush in now!"
“Even if they all die in battle, the Tianfu soldiers will not abandon Dongcheng! So, we have to go out and meet them.” Jiang Yuan said his thoughts almost without hesitation.
Tianfu might have to sacrifice some forces for the sake of the bigger picture, because that's a national-level issue, and it's impossible to achieve a comprehensive situation. For example, Tianfu won't change its core strategy of using Ancheng, Shacheng, and Luocheng as the three points and one state. But Tianfu's soldiers are different. Since they've received orders to come to Dongcheng, they will absolutely not sit idly by, even if there are ambushes waiting for them ahead.
"Go out!" An Xiaoyu was a little reluctant. She knew that Jiang Yuan was going to take another risk. However, this time the other party was well prepared. The three sacred mountains were blocking the east city. It would be extremely dangerous to try to break through their defenses.
"Don't rush, the enemy has only just begun their attack! Our priority now is to stabilize the East City and coordinate all available forces within it. Only in this way can we weather this storm!"
Having experienced several city battles, Jiang Yuan knew that in this situation, unity was the best defense. Otherwise, like in Nancheng, where everyone fought their own battles, it would be the people in the city who would suffer. Every defeat at the front line meant the deaths of tens or hundreds of thousands of civilians.
"Xiaoyu, what's the current situation with the Zhao family and the Taishi family?" Jiang Yuan asked.
An Xiaoyu withdrew her reluctance and analyzed, "The city lord's mansion has been notified of the Zhao family and the Taishi family's collusion with the enemy. However, considering that the current situation is not suitable for negative news, it has not been announced to the whole city yet. Of course, the two families do not agree to the collusion. For example, in the Zhao family, there are actually two Divine Realm experts who have different opinions. However, for the sake of the Zhao family's future, they have not come forward and have chosen to wait for the results."
"The Taishi family is in a similar situation. However, because the Taishi family started out in business, its internal power structure is quite chaotic. After Taishi Yun's death, the others either left or fled, leaving the once-great Taishi family as an empty shell. The remaining members of the Taishi family dare not take over their former businesses, fearing retribution from the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, the Taishi family is currently in a state of collapse, both in terms of strength and economy!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yuan began to plan in his mind. After a few minutes, he said, "How about this, you go to the Taishi family and make them hand over half of their shares, and then continue to support them. Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, we need manpower. The Taishi family's businesses, factories, and mines cannot be cut off, otherwise the logistical problems will affect the entire war situation."
"But there are traitors among them. What if something goes wrong?" An Xiaoyu bit her lip and pondered.
