"Hmph! These brats, if they dare come any closer, I'll beat them to a pulp!" Shi Mingxu said fiercely, looking at the dark snake-men on the outside.
The remaining Dark Serpent People are now less than the size of a planet. Let alone a combined effort, if a real fight broke out, one Tier 6 Lord would be enough, and two Lords would be a sure win.
Therefore, Shi Mingxu has begun to arrange for the lords to return to defend and support Ye Chen's side. The dark snake people above the spatial rift have not made any move yet, and no one knows what they are planning to do.
As for Ye Chen's Yin soldiers, they have gradually returned to Fengdu City. Yin soldiers are extremely susceptible to the corruption of darkness, and even with the protection of Zhulong, Ye Chen will not leave them in the dark for a long time.
Fortunately, after such a long time, the Wu tribe warriors have gradually recovered, and they are all full of energy and vitality, waiting for a great war to come.
"Don't be too careless. Don't forget, the dark god among the Dark Serpent People hasn't come out yet!" Ye Chen said with a solemn expression.
The Dark Serpent People are a very intelligent race. When they realize that things are hopeless, they will retreat decisively. However, this time, even after being repelled three times by Ye Chen's kin, they still did not choose to leave. Instead, they seemed to want to continue fighting, clearly believing that they still had a chance to win.
But now there are very few snake people left on the outskirts, and the spatial rift has not been able to make a breakthrough for a long time. Unless a seventh-order demigod makes a move, Ye Chen really can't see where this hope is.
This round of rest was very long, a whole day had passed, and the dark snake-men on the spatial rift still hadn't made a move. Instead, they continued to increase in number due to the fat man's harassment. The entire space rift was now densely covered with dark creatures, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.
"What? What are they trying to do? Charge out all at once? There's no need for that! Quite a few Dark Serpentmen have died today!" Shi Mingxu asked in confusion. With the outer defenses being breached, many lords' retinues had been recalled and were now joining the fat man's goblins in launching continuous attacks on the Dark Serpentmen.
The Dark Serpent People died on this day due to their passive defense. No matter how much the crowd provoked them, they remained steadfast above the spatial rift and refused to come out. Sometimes they even braved the attacks to reinforce the spatial passage.
During the entire day of rest, Ye Chen and the others tried to repair the spatial rift, but dark snake people kept passing through. They could only stabilize it, or even just delay it. Under these circumstances, repairing it was too difficult, but destroying it was much easier.
As for the familiars stationed on the outer perimeter, Ye Chen dared not let them rush in. After all, the spatial rift was so large that if all the familiars entered the area above the spatial rift, a large number of dark snake people would inevitably emerge from the edge of the spatial rift, and the entire situation would be completely out of control.
“The dark creatures are endless. They don’t care how many people die, as long as they can break through. If nothing unexpected happens, a seventh-tier demigod is coming. Protect yourselves!” Ye Chen said solemnly. Above the spatial rift, the army of dark serpent people had begun to move slowly, heading straight for their lords.
Undoubtedly, this direction is the most difficult to break through, yet they still chose this direction. It can only be said that this time the Dark Serpent People are confident enough to easily destroy all the defensive fortifications set up by Ye Chen and his group, and take down all the lords.
"Retreat your families! Prepare all artillery fire for indiscriminate attack!" Ye Chen shouted in a deep voice.
This time, the number of Dark Serpent Men was simply too great. He dared not risk the lives of his kin, so he chose to retreat and use firepower to cover them.
"Boom~~~" As the enemy approached, the roar of artillery fire began to ring out. All the firearms in the base were activated, and the terrifying energy fluctuations seemed to make the entire starry sky tremble.
In just one round of attacks, Ye Chen and Fatty had to pay out energy crystals worth millions of merit points, and the endless army of snake people was immediately overwhelmed by the artillery fire.
"Don't stop, keep bombarding!" Ye Chen shouted after the first round ended. The seemingly fierce attack was nothing more than a drop in the ocean for the snake-man army. If they relaxed their guard in any way, their position could be breached.
The roar never stopped, and endless artillery fire poured into the starry sky. Not a single dark serpent man could break through the blockade of the artillery fire, a scene that made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the joy was short-lived. As time went on, they discovered that the blast radius of the artillery fire was receding.
Soon, amidst the lulls in the cannon fire, snake-men, shielded by heavy magic, continued to advance.
Although each snakeman can't hold out for long, and may be blasted to smithereens after two or three shots, new snakemen will soon take their place, continuing to close the gap in the battle lines.
This scene chilled the hearts of the initially delighted lords. The snake-men were endless, and if there were enough of them, this tactic could very well allow them to break through.
"This? This won't work! We have to think of another way!" Jiang Qin said in a deep voice, her tone already carrying a hint of anxiety.
"How about we retreat a bit first? At least leave enough space for the battle?" a lord suggested, sounding slightly fearful.
There are far too many dark creatures this time. If they were to launch an attack, even if all the lords joined forces, they might not be able to stop them. If we don't evacuate, our territory could be breached!
Only when the territory is secure enough can the clan have enough time and space to entangle with these snake people.
“We can’t leave! The snake people are waiting behind us! Besides, this whole thing was supposed to be about using territory as bait. If we leave our territory, do you think they’ll still rush over here like this, risking their lives?” Ye Chen shook his head and said.
"What can we do? This can't go on. What if the snake people take control of those defensive facilities? We'll be in real danger! We won't even be able to take back this spatial node then!" Shi Mingxu said helplessly. The situation was really unpredictable.
"No rush! Let them gather again, and then we'll see who loses their patience first!" Ye Chen pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on the front, watching the group of snake people advance little by little.
With each step taken, a large number of snake-men fell, but the snake-men behind would quickly fill in, blocking the way for their people behind them, clearing the path with their own flesh and blood.
"Truly worthy of being called...a civilized race!" Even as an enemy, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
