Seeing their commander suddenly lose control of his emotions, the soldiers around them had mixed feelings.
Seeing that he was surrounded by guards, Nock, who was already sitting upright, dared not lie down again. He had no choice but to let the guards put him down.
"Commander Jiang, do you really have a way to increase the attack power of every soldier by 250,000?"
Nock still had some doubts. Even if Jiang Hao's own attack power was incredibly strong, the idea of granting attack power to someone else was unheard of.
"Report! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"A large number of monsters have appeared outside the city walls. A large number of monsters have appeared outside the city walls."
Soldiers on the city wall were shouting.
The dozen or so soldiers who had just come down from the city wall immediately turned pale.
Seeing that Nock was about to leave with his personal guards and several soldiers covered in packages, Jiang Hao reacted quickly and grabbed him by the back of his collar.
"General Zhen Nantian, could you have all the soldiers form a team before you pull me in?"
Zhen Nantian finally stopped crying and wiped the tears from his face.
"Of course. Before the war even started, our soldiers responsible for defending the city had already automatically formed a group. I just need to bring you into the legion."
"Because you are the legion commander, after I recruit you, you need to actively confirm before you can join the legion."
Jiang Hao grabbed Nok and pulled him over.
“Our Nok Legion Commander just told me that he wants to go up to the city walls to watch the battle. To avoid any accidental casualties, why don’t you bring him in too?”
Zhen Nantian's expression was complicated.
The Nok Legion Commander quickly waved his hand in refusal, saying urgently.
"Hey? No, no, don't pull me, don't pull me! I have things to do, I really have a lot of official business to attend to."
"I wonder if Commander Nok has any other troubles? Shall I send a few of my personal guards to help you? Before they came, the city lord bestowed upon them the Blade of Valor and granted them the power of life and death on the battlefield. Whatever troubles you may have, they can help you resolve them."
Jiang Hao said with a smile, while giving Nok a knowing look.
Nock's expression shifted several times before he leaned close to Jiang Hao's ear and whispered, "Kid, are you out of your mind? How are you going to escape if you join the legion?"
He still didn't realize what was happening.
Jiang Hao just smiled and looked at him. If he were to escape, who would build the city wall at the front pass?
Nock seemed to realize something and leaned close to Jiang Hao's ear again.
"Don't you plan to run away at all?"
Nock was getting anxious.
"So you had several shield guards carry you just now?"
Looking at the cowardly appearance of those bronze-level shield guards, Nock suddenly understood.
Commander Jiang never even considered running away!
Wow, what was he saying to Commander Jiang just now?
And what stupid thing did he say, "Commander Jiang, come up quickly"?
Nock's old face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment. Looking at Jiang Hao's still bastardly smile, his eyes were filled with resentment.
"Urgent report! Urgent report! A large number of enemy troops are attacking! A large number of enemy troops are attacking!"
Zhen Nantian immediately became anxious.
"Please come up to the city wall with me as soon as possible, so that I can invite you two to join the legion."
On the city wall, Jiang Hao received Zhen Nantian's team invitation and, without hesitation, immediately accepted. Several legion buffs instantly appeared above his head. His thousand personal guards also automatically joined the legion.
Zhen Nantian still had a sullen face; even at this point, he still couldn't believe it.
Simply recruiting Commander Jiang into the legion will increase the attack power of all soldiers by 250,000.
Outside the city walls, swarms of skeletal monsters had crossed the ravine and were rapidly moving towards the walls. Even though he had witnessed this scene countless times today, Zhen Nantian still felt a chill run down his spine.
On the city wall, the soldiers on guard all stared wide-eyed. These elite soldiers, drawn from the Zhenyuan Legion, had lost all their previous fearless and reckless spirit. Their hands and feet were trembling, which was already a good sign. Zhen Nantian even noticed that many of them had wet their pants, and the stench of urine could be smelled even on the general's platform.
The confidence that Jiang Hao had given Zhen Nantian collapsed instantly.
Even if Commander Jiang's skills are excellent and his attack power is high, what can he do when facing so many skeleton monsters?
Zhen Nantian suddenly realized that he had made a huge, most fundamental mistake!
In legion-level battles, individualism must be absolutely rejected.
This is the first lesson in the training for the commanders of the Zhenyuan Army Corps!
Zhen Nantian broke out in a cold sweat.
With the skeleton army less than 100 meters from the city wall, they would be wiped out if they didn't change their tactics soon.
Zhen Nantian gripped the blade of the war supervisor and shouted urgently.
"Artillery preparation, artillery preparation; canyon coverage strike preparation, canyon coverage strike preparation."
"Fire immediately after adjustments! Fire immediately after adjustments!"
Jiang Hao looked at Zhen Nantian with some confusion, but it was too late to say anything.
Zhen Nantian, terrified, issued a command through the magic array that resounded throughout the Central Pass. Amidst the echoes in the valleys on both sides, the war began once again.
The shell shot out of the cannon barrel, producing a screeching sound. Then came the buzzing sound of friction with the air, and with a loud bang, a shell exploded a hundred meters in front of the city wall.
Zhen Nantian was furious and immediately looked at the artilleryman who had made the mistake. In his panic, the artilleryman had fired before he could even adjust the angle properly.
Then came the deafening roar of cannon fire. Forty-nine shells exploded in succession 200 meters in front of the city wall, and fifty shells exploded in succession 500 meters in front of the city wall.
Zhen Nantian was shocked and furious. Amidst the explosions of the shells, he repeatedly demanded, "Why weren't they energy crystal shells? Why weren't they energy crystal shells?"
No soldier answered him, and even if they did, he couldn't hear them.
The Energy Crystal Shells are shells that can only be loaded by order of the commander. In the chaos, Zhen Nantian himself forgot to give the order.
Ordinary shells are far less powerful than crystal shells. Apart from making a loud noise, they didn't even blast up many rocks. The smoke was blown away by the mountain wind in the canyon, and the densely packed bronze-level monsters were completely unaffected.
"Load energy crystal shells! Load energy crystal shells! Immediately deploy canyon coverage strikes!"
"Reload all giant crossbows with energy crystal arrows, ready to kill the target at any time."
"Mages and archers, prepare to assist the shield guards in eliminating the target. No need to control stamina! No need to control stamina!"
No sooner had Zhen Nantian given the order than two rows of bronze-level monsters leaped onto the city wall. The battle erupted instantly atop the four-kilometer-long wall.
Looking at the densely packed skeleton monsters below the city wall, Zhen Nantian knew that this time he was really doomed.
Even if the crystal cannonballs are loaded and can clear out a large number of monsters, there will still be too many monsters jumping onto the city walls. With the existing defensive capabilities on the city walls, it is simply impossible to stop them.
Should we call in reinforcements now? Absolutely not! If the reserves flood the city walls, it will not only severely disrupt the normal operations of the soldiers on the walls, but the reserves themselves will also be unable to deploy their formations, and defeat will likely come even sooner.
Because of his repeated negligence, the soldiers on the city wall were about to be wiped out, and Zhen Nantian was truly desperate this time.
