Perhaps still feeling the scene wasn't spectacular enough, several figures attacked from above, sweeping several guards on the city wall who didn't have time to dodge into the air.
The guards, who were lifted into the air, were quickly surrounded by the suddenly appearing flying units.
They were quickly torn apart amidst screams of agony, their internal organs mixed with bits of flesh scattered all over the ground like a rain of blood.
Seeing this, Liu Nian sent out information gathering signals to their silhouettes.
Level 9, Night Demon, Attack 6-10, Defense 2-5, Stamina 150, Health 150, Flying Unit.
Skill: Surprise Attack
Surprise Attack: Accelerate towards a target, make a judgment, and if successful, grab the target and launch it into the sky. (Depending on your own Strength attribute and the target's Constitution attribute)
It has gray-black fur, black pupils, two gray wings, and two sharp claws.
Judging from their figures, Liu Nian was certain that these monsters were the kind that only appeared at nightfall.
I've fought them several times in the wilderness, and each time I've survived by sheer luck thanks to having enough summoned creatures.
They always appear in groups at night, reaping the souls of those who are alone in the wilderness.
Liu Nian felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the information she had gathered; physical fitness was her weakness.
Be careful not to get caught. Summon the main force, Liu Nian is joining the battle!
Fortunately, the humans reacted quickly enough, sending several fireballs and arrows into the air.
They fear firelight, or rather, light.
"We have quite a few capable people here too," Liu Nian thought, relieved as he looked at the several Night Demons who had been knocked down by the fireballs, as well as the other Night Demons who dared not approach easily.
At this point, three sides of the city walls had completely fallen, but fortunately, the security team and other adventurers at the foot of the walls had already set up their formation.
The swarming infected people collided with the security team instantly.
The survivors have higher attributes than the infected, but the infected are numerous and fearless.
The situation is now in complete chaos, with hand-to-hand combat happening everywhere, and the battlefield has become extremely intense.
The two sides remained locked in a stalemate, fighting to the death without backing down.
Relying on the superior attributes of his summoned creatures, Liu Nian managed to carve out a clearing.
Raising the long-unused ring, he struck the Night Demon in mid-air. The Night Demon, in pain, released its claws, which were clutching a surviving unlucky soul.
He fell from the sky in an instant, landing on the ground in front of Liu Nian, crushing several infected people.
Before the infected person could pounce on him, Liu Nian quickly grabbed the unfortunate man's feet and pulled him towards him, successfully rescuing the captured man.
Pull him behind you. This guy only has a few scratches, no bite marks. The infected person's virus is only transmitted through blood.
Although I got trampled by the summoned creatures a few times during the process, it's better than losing my life.
Liu Nian couldn't hear what he said; the battlefield was just too noisy.
Seeing his chest heaving violently, he must have been terrified!
Liu Nian gestured for him to rest for a while behind him, while he continued to kill the next target.
Unbeknownst to him, Liu Nian had already fought his way to the edge of the human front. Relying on his thick armor, Liu Nian activated his Bone Armor and positioned himself at the flank of the battle line, enduring attacks from two directions.
They had to guard against the attacks of the infected while also preventing the formation of the summoned creatures from being broken up. They had to adjust the formation from time to time and replenish the destroyed summoned creatures. Even Liu Nian felt immense pressure.
At this moment, the summoned creatures surrounded Liu Nian in the center, and the people around them had no time to marvel, as they were all doing their best to survive.
Every time they tried to expand outwards, countless infected people fell at their feet, along with several precious lives.
In the ocean of the living and the dead, there is a clear distinction, with each moving forward and backward in a constant cycle.
The battalion commander, who was directing operations from the rear of the battlefield, was selecting some daredevils to launch a counter-offensive to retake the lost city wall, where there were several heavy machine guns.
Although firearms have gradually been phased out of combat, the infected are still carbon-based organisms, and the reaping ability of heavy machine guns remains outstanding.
The captain in charge of commanding the battlefield surveyed the overall situation, hoping to find a breakthrough. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he looked toward a nearby city wall corridor.
A dark figure was making its way towards the city wall, surrounded by numerous summoned creatures.
The commander pointed to the corner of the wall, which was where Liu Nian was guarding.
"Charge from that direction."
"Everyone cover the machine gunner."
In a city of over five hundred people, most were fighting, except for a few elderly, weak, sick, and disabled.
This fully armed squad is the elite of the elite.
The team members quickly reached Liu Nian's back by following the crowded flow of people.
The members providing cover drew their rifles and began firing at the horde of corpses in front of Liu Nian.
The sudden gunfire created a vacuum in front of Liu Nian, and the team took the opportunity to head up the stairs on the same city wall.
"Are they crazy? Why are they running towards the city wall?" Liu Nian looked at the direction they were heading in astonishment.
Infected individuals were jumping down the city wall like dumplings being dropped into a pot; the area beneath the city wall was completely filled with their corpses. Going up there now would be pure suicide.
"If we can recapture the heavy machine gun position, our chances of survival will be much greater," the captain said calmly, seemingly already aware of this crazy yet crucial mission.
"Yes." The member's answer was brief and forceful.
"A bunch of lunatics," Liu Nian said upon hearing this, and ordered his summoned creatures to clear out the infected falling towards the entrance of the city wall tower.
Standing near the city wall, one risks being struck by the invading infected that fall from the sky. Many adventurers are buried before they can even react.
Therefore, very few people went there, and the entire battle line was organized for defense in more open areas.
The firepower units temporarily deployed by the commander also joined the battle, and under the barrage of rifle fire, they temporarily suppressed the infected in the area around the stairwell exit.
Seizing the opportunity, the suicide squad members charged toward the city wall.
The infected troops were now mixed with bursters and lickers, and many were pulled away by the lickers without warning.
Individual strength is so insignificant in the face of the collective. Liu Nian's abilities are limited, so he can only choose to mind his own business.
Without fire support, the suicide squad members were quickly isolated and surrounded by infected, leaving only the entrance to the stairwell below.
"We've finally made it this far, we can't retreat now," the captain said through gritted teeth.
These ten people were covered in armor, and the infected could not bite through their armor for a while.
But taking that first step is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
In the nick of time, a grenade was thrown from the stairwell entrance; the person who threw it was Liu Nian.
After a loud bang, the infected on the city wall were blown to pieces.
After distributing the last of his grenades to the people, Liu Nian led his summoned creatures to advance first.
