Standing on the city wall.
These exceptionally talented young people seemed to have traveled through time and space to meet the countless lookout soldiers who held their ground and refused to retreat.
Not far away, it was still a dark mass.
From a distance, the towering trees could be seen falling in large swaths.
Some people were responsible for operating the laser cannons, while others were responsible for using the large crossbows.
Those with superior strength would stand directly outside the city gates to proactively confront the enemy.
Of the four gates, apart from the Vermilion Bird Gate where Su Yu was located, the other three gates each had two of the top ten ranked prodigies taking turns leading the team to meet the enemy.
Ten men stood guard at the city gate, blocking the enemy from outside.
The other ten people provided them with firepower support using laser cannons, crossbows, and other weapons.
Shifts change every hour.
Meanwhile, the others from the Vermilion Bird Gate took turns facing the enemy.
Su Yu, hold on tight!
Aside from Song Qinghuan and the others, of the other five classmates he chose, four were superhumans with the ability to cause massive damage, and the other had the ability to accelerate the healing of injuries.
At the same time, all five of them are martial artists with relatively strong recovery abilities.
This can be considered the strongest teammate he has paired with himself without affecting the overall combat strength of the other three sects.
In comparison, the only challenge is that he has to compete against two pre-ranked top ten prodigies.
The entire combat force of the watchtower.
He has done his best to arrange the most reasonable lineup.
In the observation room, Cheng Yong also compiled a list of those who would defend the city.
It was almost identical to Su Yu's arrangement.
The only difference is that he more rationally chose 18 people from the other three sects and 16 people from the Vermilion Bird Sect.
This significantly reduced the pressure on the Vermilion Bird Gate.
Zhuge Yun glanced at it and said calmly, "Your arrangement is very reasonable, but in this way, there is no room for error at any of the city gates."
"The coordination between all of them must be flawless, otherwise no one will be able to fill in."
"If one door is broken, the other three doors will be of no use."
Cheng Yong nodded and said, "I know that too, but with Su Yu's arrangement, the chances of their Vermilion Bird Gate being breached are dozens of times higher than the other three gates."
"No matter how fast he recovers, he still needs time to recover. If the others don't hold on during his recovery period, all his arrangements will be in vain."
Zhuge Yun neither agreed nor disagreed.
Cheng Yong then asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"
"If I were Su Yu, I would choose someone like Su Yu."
"In a life-or-death situation, a tactician must have even more faith in himself. The fact that he made this choice means that he is confident he can succeed," Zhuge Yun said calmly.
Cheng Yong really wanted to retort, "You're talking nonsense. I also have a statement: I believe in my comrades."
He was inwardly complaining.
Zhuge Yun then changed the subject: "However, I wouldn't be as foolish as him to choose to go out of the city to meet the enemy."
"If they want to hold out longer, they have to rely on the defensive weapons of the watchtower."
"Fighting in the city is the best option."
"If everyone dies outside the city, what's the point of leaving such an empty city?"
Cheng Yong was speechless: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"A group of young men didn't want their predecessors' monument to be trampled by monsters, so they chose to take the initiative to fight back."
“No, this kid is testing Wei Yikun and the others’ bottom line,” Zhuge Yun said, squinting his eyes.
"He made this arrangement not only because you said we had to protect the watchtower, but mainly because he knew this was just a trial."
That's why he dares to be so fearless.
"However, I'm more curious to know what choice he would make when he's truly faced with a desperate situation?"
So, are you praising him or praising him?
Cheng Yong realized that this bastard was just trying to use him to praise Su Yu.
Damn, is that how you use the word "classmate"?
The conversation between the two could be heard by several admissions directors in the small wilderness.
The group communicated using wristbands.
Deng Ji smiled and said, "In the past, the final stage of the four-school training camp was mainly based on small-team combat."
"This time, with the addition of Su Yu as a tactician, he's come up with some new tricks."
"I think we can invite a few tactical geniuses to participate in each of our future sessions."
Feng Wan said, "Tactical geniuses can be invited, but tacticians shouldn't be invited into our observation room."
"Yes! Brother Feng is right."
"Old Wan, after so many days you've finally said a single word."
Including Wei Yikun, everyone immediately agreed with Feng Wan's opinion.
Zhuge Yun sat in the observation room, slowly sipping his tea.
The ban on tactical division commanders entering the observation room is a matter for the future.
Anyway, this year, none of the things those grandmasters promised him will get away with.
As for inviting tactical geniuses to the four-school training camp, he felt it was unrealistic.
Not every tactical genius can be like Su Yu.
Su Yu is a pervert, he said.
Several people were criticizing a certain tactician's shamelessness in the communications.
After waiting for a few minutes, Zhuge Yun slowly restored the communication.
"I wonder how long they can hold out this time."
"It's unrealistic to expect to hold out for a whole day and night," Deng Ji said with a slight smile, glancing at the group of young men in front of the city wall.
"A whole day and night? The record seems to be six hours."
"In the ten years since the beast tide assessment began, not a single session has ever lasted until nightfall."
“If they can hold out until night, they’ve already succeeded,” Batin said coldly.
Qian Yun stroked his chin, somewhat expectantly: "There is still some hope. Whether it's Su Yu, Gao Xi, or Hao Zhiming, such prodigies are rare in the past ten years."
As he spoke, he checked the time.
"Gentlemen, we can begin now."
On the desolate wilderness, the forces that had been suppressing the surging beast tide were released at the same moment.
The strange beasts instantly began to charge forward frantically.
Trees, rocks, hillsides, and rivers cannot be a reason to stop them from moving forward.
At this moment, these strange beasts had only one goal in mind: to destroy everything in their sight!
In this surging tide, many weaker beasts were trampled to death by the powerful beasts following behind.
They looked out over the city.
In front of the Azure Dragon Gate, Gao Xi, who was sitting cross-legged, noticed that the sand and gravel beside him began to vibrate.
He stood up, carrying the heavy black iron sword, and the fighting spirit in his eyes gradually began to burn.
Hao Zhiming narrowed his eyes slightly in front of the White Tiger Gate.
"They're here."
A flash of cold light appeared as the silver-white longsword pointed at the beast charging towards him.
The men behind him also drew their weapons.
In front of Xuanwu Gate, Su Yincheng looked at his girlfriend Yao You: "Xiao You, are you ready?"
Yao You nodded gently, and two large iron hammers appeared in her left and right hands.
"Smash them to death!!!" she said menacingly.
Before the Vermilion Bird Gate, Su Yu, wielding the Overlord Spear, stepped forward and, circulating his inner energy, shouted loudly, "Defend Wangcheng to the death!!!"
At this moment, before the surging momentum had engulfed the lonely watchtower.
The other three gates responded one after another.
"Hold on to the death!!!!!"
