"Gundam? Are you a support unit from the Northern Region?"
"He is the only one, but don't worry, we have already requested reinforcements from the surrounding areas, and the east gate is the direction of our main force's advance. I believe we will arrive here soon."
"Great...great! The reinforcements have arrived, everyone hang in there!!!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Everyone's morale immediately soared.
After Liu Lang and the Mechanical King arrived, Lan Hao and Ni Jun set up the mechanical factory, which would continuously produce mechanical soldiers to defend the city walls for everyone. Although the mechanical soldiers were not very strong, only at the level of three or four stars, it was enough to reduce everyone's casualties.
"Commander Chu Tai didn't lie to us! There really is reinforcements!"
"But with so few people providing support... is that really enough?"
"The friendly reinforcements are on their way. Just look at the monsters outside. Even the reinforcements have to be careful of being surrounded by monsters. There are just too many of them... It's understandable that their advance is slow."
"Ambush and attack reinforcements? Warcraft wouldn't be that smart..., would it...?"
The mechanical warrior Gundam outside the city only lasted for a dozen minutes before one of its legs was destroyed by the eight-star monster, and it was then submerged in the sea of beasts.
Just as Liu Lang was about to team up with Mechanical King again to use their combined attack, Han Fangfang stopped him.
"The eight-star magical beasts here have stopped moving. It's enough for us to help defend. My special ability is related to the battle flag, so let's just defend here with Brother Zhai Chi."
Our mission is to contact Chu Tai, the highest-ranking official in Huainan City. And Brother Wang, the Machinery King, should still have a machinery factory, right? Let's not linger here too long.”
Upon hearing Han Fangfang's words, the Mechanical King was somewhat surprised. He did indeed have extra mechanical factories, and he even planned to place one at each of the four gates in the east, west, south, and north.
Did she guess it? That's amazing.
To reassure the Mechanical King, Han Fangfang also set up multiple array flags and formations, slightly increasing the strength of those on the city wall and slightly decreasing the speed of the enemies...
With Han Fangfang's array buff and command, these rogue cultivators, though not as free as before, were able to more easily stick to their posts.
Previously, it took seven or eight people to defend a gap, but now it only takes three.
This not only freed up a large number of manpower, but also created new firing positions.
After realizing that the morale of the humans at the South Gate was gradually rising, the monsters also suspended their attack.
Seeing the monsters retreat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the monster offensive had finally come to an end...
Another day has passed...
"They actually retreated?"
Han Fangfang was somewhat surprised; Liu Lang and the Mechanical King hadn't left yet, but these magical beasts had already gone.
Strange, why retreat? I really can't figure it out.
"Could it be that they did this to preserve their strength and prevent the humans in the city from escaping from here...?"
Han Fangfang imagined what she would do if she were the commander of the monsters. The only possibility was that the monsters would receive orders not to launch a strong attack on the south gate, and would also have to preserve a certain amount of strength to prevent the humans from easily breaking out through another gate after a defeat on one battlefield.
This does fit the fighting style of those monsters in the Central Plains battlefield.
After all, Zhongzhou had played too many tricks of sacrificing territory for the sake of survival in the early stages of the war. Even if the monsters destroyed the city into ruins, the people and troops inside had long since fled to the next place.
After repeated attempts, the monsters learned their lesson and began to consciously surround human cities.
That's why Huainan City is now surrounded on all sides.
"You guys go ahead. Brother Zhai Chi and I will stay here. Of course, take my other three machinery factories with you before you leave."
The defenses here are really weak. Before Mechanical King and Zhai Chi, the strongest person was only a late-stage six-star. But when they arrived, the strongest person turned out to be them!
The monsters here weren't planning a full-scale attack; they were just probing. After several waves of probing, they almost broke through the south gate!
Originally, I wanted to see if I could break in and have a good feast with that eight-star magical beast.
Suddenly, a wave of human troops attacked from behind, reminding it of what the leader of the East Gate had said: it must defend well, unlike the Evil Wind Ape clan who were greedy for small gains and tried to break in to seize the title, only to be attacked from both sides. The human troops trapped inside the city poured out through that gap.
What was originally a sure-fire encirclement was completely ruined because of the Evil Wind Ape's eagerness for quick results.
Therefore, even though it saw that the humans on the city wall were not very strong, it did not dare to attack directly.
After all, when they fought on the Central Plains battlefield, those humans loved to feign weakness.
With Mechanical King and Zhai Chi protecting them, Han Fangfang, Liu Lang, and the others had no choice but to go ahead. They never expected that the south gate of Huainan City would be guarded by a group of rogue cultivators and civilians.
I wonder if General Chu Tai knows about what's going on here. Does this place really need soldiers to help?
But when they arrived at the East Gate, everyone's expression changed drastically.
There was the aura of more than ten eight-star magical beasts at the east gate! Because the defensive array was broken, those giant pythons, which were dozens of feet long, were also slamming into the city wall!
The flying magical beast with wings that blotted out the sky had long been entangled in battle with the soldiers of the East Gate military region. The runes on the city wall dimmed, bricks and stones flew like bullets, and cracks appeared on the entire East Gate city wall!
Even so, the soldiers, clad in heavy armor, formed a human wall with their flesh and blood to withstand the onslaught of these magical beasts! Even with their armor dented, not a single soldier retreated! Unlike the diverse superpowers of Zhongzhou, the soldiers here are mostly melee fighters, so when facing flying magical beasts, they rely more on ranged superpowers and Daoist cultivators.
