Let's go back three hours.
Bu Xiaosai and the K11 team finally returned to the vicinity of the machine factory.
But before they could even take the only path up, they saw that the demons had set up a teleportation portal nearby.
"Oh no! That explains why headquarters was suddenly attacked. It was through a spatial portal!"
Looking at these demons, Bu Xiaosai suddenly slapped his forehead and realized something.
Since the demons all use spatial passages, they should borrow them too.
Soon, with the help of Liu Shenjun and the K11 team, they successfully cleared the area of demons. Bu Xiaosai also sent the Wolf Soul team to report to more troops on the front lines.
Strategic contraction is the right approach now; we can no longer stubbornly hold our defensive positions.
As for how many people will listen?
That was outside of Bu Xiaosai's considerations. After all, with communications cut off at headquarters, anyone with a keen eye could guess that something had happened at the machinery factory.
Therefore, the Wolf Soul Squad's information might not be ignored by others, and that's all Bu Xiaosai can do.
boom!
At this moment, all the guards of the mechanical factory and the legion of future warriors stationed here have been fighting against the demon elites for some time.
Aside from the spatial passage left by Cen Zhuoqun, these demons also actively set up a demon vortex. Although the number of demons that can enter is limited, demons are constantly pouring out of it, and the battlefield has changed from being evenly matched at the beginning to a difficult resistance now.
Perhaps it won't be long before this becomes a situation of fighting to the death.
"Bad news! The city lord's forces that came to our aid were stopped east of the mechanical factory, but the demon winged race went to stop them, which has relieved a lot of pressure on us."
"We can't contact any troops; the demons have cut off our communication channels!"
"Something terrible has happened! Director Ren Tianchi has sent word that four powerful sources of magic are approaching Aurora City!"
They had reason to believe those were the Demon Kings of the Demon Race!
"We've made contact with the 5th Guards Brigade... but they've suffered over half their casualties and are requesting reinforcements..."
Listening to everyone's reports, the military commander felt completely overwhelmed and couldn't find a single opportunity that would benefit them. Not to mention the present situation, the fact that four powerful sources of magic were approaching was already a huge disaster.
"Report!!! Good news! The Mechanical Star is showing unusual activity, and Lord Liu Lang has emerged!"
"What? Take us there right now!"
The high-ranking officers who remained at headquarters returned to the underground laboratory with great joy, and Liu Lang brought back a reason for everyone to continue their steadfast commitment!
"Jiang Xie has already gained the recognition of the Mechanical Star, but before that, he needs to integrate the power of the Mechanical Star to control it. This won't take too long. Although I can't give an exact time, believe me, I was also involved in repairing the core area of the Mechanical Star, and my judgment on the timing is very accurate!"
Although Liu Lang said those last few words to convince everyone, the commanders, who had no other choice, also had a glint in their eyes. This was exactly what they wanted to hear. As long as they continued to hold on and there was still hope, they would show these demons what the resilience of the human race was!
"Report! The Frost Demons have breached the southern part of the Mechanical Factory!"
"Report! Lei Yuemo has broken through the front line of the mechanical factory!"
"Report!..."
Not long after the commanders arrived, disastrous news came back from various battlefields.
Fortunately, the troops above were not completely annihilated by the demons; most of them escaped back to the mechanical factory, where there were automated defensive positions that flipped from the laboratory to the top. Although they could not hold out for long, they were more than enough to rescue the retreating troops.
"Report! Multiple units are sending us messages unilaterally; they are on their way back to headquarters!"
"Report!!! The southern support forces have sent word that they are already holding back the demon forces south of Aurora City!"
"Report!!! The Northern Alliance's main force has achieved a great victory! They are dispatching reinforcements to Aurora City!"
Bad news keeps coming, but good news is also frequently appearing. Right now, the key battlefield between the demon race and the human race depends on Aurora City!
If Aurora City falls, the demons will move south. But if they can hold out until reinforcements arrive, the Northern Region can switch from defense to offense, greatly relieving the pressure on the eastern battlefield!
Liu Lang also participated in the defense above, but looking at the three-star and four-star demon cannon fodder everywhere, and the five-star and six-star demons who would occasionally sneak up from among the cannon fodder to attack, Liu Lang was just like a soldier on such a battlefield, unable to charge and kill like those future warriors.
Since that's the case, let's put his old skills to good use!
Forging weapons of war!
"Huh? When did I reach the peak of three stars?"
Liu Lang was astonished to realize his own strength. Could it be... a gift from the Mechanical Star?
But this is perfect, because he can use the ability of the Straw Raincoat Army to quickly create attribute equipment that can be made at the peak of the first star level.
"A new wave of drone warfare is brewing, and this is a mobile war factory, though for now it functions as a regular war factory."
This is also our only source of production.
Led by a technician, Liu Lang arrived at the place where the mechs and drone swarms were produced.
Actually, there were three mobile war factories here at the beginning, but now the other two have been moved to the front line under Ren Tianchi's command, so there is only one left now. If there were one more, the demons would not have been able to break into the upper defense line so easily.
