They also equipped the members of the Mechanical Guild with individual rocket backpacks, which, along with the various strange mechanical creations of the Mechanical Guild, intercepted the demons.
This is the last line of defense. The demons encountered unprecedented resistance from Aurora City. It seems that what Cen Zhuoqun said was true: Aurora City really does have a mechanical star that destroyed an SS-level anomaly and is willing to go all in.
"Pass on my order to send troops from other lines forward to draw the attention of these humans. Other parts of Aurora City won't be so lucky."
The demon commander seized the opportunity. Since a direct assault was not feasible, they decided to advance from both sides. This way, the places that had previously required heavy casualties to conquer could be easily taken.
However, the military commander was no pushover. He knew that doing so would expose their intentions. The areas north and west of Aurora City could be given to the demons, but they couldn't be pushed all the way through.
A large number of elite squads were sent into the cities that were about to be occupied to carry out guerrilla warfare, while the troops still defending the front lines would retreat in shifts according to the progress of the demons' attack that day, so as to deplete each front line to the greatest extent.
And that's exactly what happened.
Almost every time human troops withdraw, the defense line here is reduced to ruins.
Bu Xiaosai and Liu Shenjun, along with a squad of mecha pilots ordered by Chairman Ren Tianchi, constantly harassed the city, often fleeing from the north to the west.
Under Bu Xiaosai's command, this squad was virtually invincible, carving out a formidable reputation within the besieged city. However, even so, the demons still managed to advance to the central area of Aurora City, stepping over the blood of their comrades and humans.
And this only took a day and a half.
Removing the main force of the Source of the Future was too much of a blow. The Mechanical Council, Miracle Technology, and a small contingent of military troops remaining in Laser City were simply no match for the advancing demons.
Moreover, don't be fooled by Bu Xiaosai and his team's undefeated record and their ability to kill wherever they go. In reality, this is just one person's good fortune. Other elite squads are either dead or crippled. Those who manage to complete the encirclement and return intact are the cream of the crop.
Everyone was quite puzzled. Some teams had six-star captains, yet none of them could kill as many enemies as a three-star late-game player, and they also managed to protect their teammates.
Liu Shenjun unleashed three sword strikes in a day and a half, each of which required half a day of preparation. Bu Xiaosai selected three demon commanders for him, each accompanied by a six-star or even seven-star warrior.
"Soul Slash!" "Ultimate Magic Ground Zero!"
"Open the heavens!" "Windwalker - Giant's Fall!"
"Clarity!" "Chaos - Night Invasion!"
The mech pilot squad that followed them also looked at them in surprise. They were only at the late stage of three stars, yet they could unleash the combat power of a five-star.
In particular, Liu Shenjun's Heaven-Opening Sword cleaved through a six-star demon, and his Tongming Sword even pierced through the defenses of a seven-star demon, directly killing the five-star demon commander.
Although Bu Xiaosai's attacks were also powerful, they were all used to assist Liu Shenjun.
At least in the final attack, without Bu Xiaosai's interference, Liu Shenjun's illuminating sword, even if it was aimed at the spirit and soul, would have become uncontrollable.
"K11 Team, I need you to urgently proceed to the headquarters building of the Future Source to retrieve the Explosive Crystal hidden in the C2 area laboratory. Time is limited, and friendly forces have already gone to provide support in the vicinity as much as possible."
Report to us immediately after obtaining it, after which the building will self-destruct.
"receive."
Bu Xiaosai accepted a new mission. Although Future Source had acted quickly before, it was still unable to transfer all the data and experiments. It could only transfer the important ones. Even the main battlefield defended by Future Source's main mech force was now facing a forced breakthrough by the enemy.
Although the demons did not know the launch time of the human mechanical star, they absolutely could not appear when the demon lords led their troops. Therefore, the demons, who should have let Aurora City fend for itself, had to force the troops besieging Aurora City to launch a full-scale attack.
At this point, the human forces realized why their commanders had ordered them to retreat again and again, trading space for time—it was because they had already been surrounded by the demons!
Hopefully, that secret weapon will actually work...
"Cen Zhuoqun, you lead a group of elite demons to capture the headquarters building of the Future Source in the human race's Aurora City!"
"Have Zi Xuan and the other demons go with you. I will issue new orders after we find it, understand?"
"clear."
