Hearing the sound, Le Gang looked over, and when he saw Xu Lin, a slightly helpless smile involuntarily appeared on his face. He began to advise:
"Hey Xu Lin, with the big battle about to begin, this isn't the place for you."
"I think you're just not cut out for fighting. You'd better get out of here as soon as possible."
"Alright, Brother Le, we'll go down now," Xu Lin replied.
Le Gang seemed to have something he wanted to say to Xu Lin, but before he could speak, the entire Great Wall suddenly began to shake violently...
"Waaaaah—"
The alarm suddenly sounded, and the soldiers on the Great Wall almost simultaneously looked up at the sky.
Hundreds of streaks of light tore through the dark clouds like meteors, descending from the sky with a fierce momentum.
The light was dazzling and breathtaking.
"Air raid!"
"Lie down!" Le Gang's expression changed, and he shouted.
Before he finished speaking, he rushed over like lightning, instantly reaching Xu Lin's side and tackling him to the ground.
Li Yu immediately hugged Fu Xiyao and bent down.
At the same time, the anti-aircraft guns on the Great Wall reacted quickly. With the roar of their machinery, they began to spin rapidly, their dark muzzles precisely aimed at the rapidly falling attackers.
In an instant, the anti-aircraft guns roared in unison, and shells soared into the sky like fiery dragons.
In the blink of an eye, the interceptor shells launched intertwined into a dense network of fire, colliding fiercely with the hundreds of streaks of light.
In an instant, sparks flew everywhere and explosions resounded through the sky. Anti-aircraft guns intercepted hundreds of streaks of light one by one.
"Commander-in-Chief, the first wave of airstrikes has been successfully intercepted." A soldier ran up to report the battle situation.
However, Le Gang dared not relax in the slightest. With a solemn expression, he shouted loudly:
"Stay alert, the enemy's attack has only just begun!"
Le Gang glanced at Li Yu and was somewhat surprised by the large number of people. The entire regiment was being used for logistics and transportation, which was simply a waste.
Thinking of this, Le Gang said urgently to Xu Lin beside him:
"Little Xu Lin".
"I'll requisition your regiment first; defending against this first wave of attacks is the priority!"
Just then, a scout pointed into the distance and shouted:
Something's up!
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw several enormous beasts appearing in the heavy rain in the distance, with several other cheetah-like beasts protecting them on either side.
They were incredibly fast, rushing towards the Great Wall like madmen, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly wherever they passed.
"A strange beast? What's going on?"
"How could a strange beast have reached the defensive line?"
The soldiers were filled with doubt, knowing that Zhongzhou had almost wiped out all the alien beasts around the defensive line.
“It’s beast control ability!” Le Gang said with a furrowed brow and a solemn expression.
Unexpectedly, there are people in the Eternal Flame Alliance who can control alien beasts. This ability is extremely rare even in the Central Continent. The appearance of a beast-controlling awakener on the battlefield could even turn the tide of the entire battle single-handedly.
"Da da da".
A burst of rapid and intense machine gun fire rang out, clearly indicating that the defenses in other areas had now entered combat.
Dozens of strange beasts quickly dispersed, moving with great agility. These beasts were deliberately strapped with bombs, and they charged forward at an extremely fast speed, like a suicide attack.
At the center of these strange beasts, a colossal beast, as large as a small hill, was charging forward with unstoppable momentum, its powerful limbs swaying.
From a distance, this behemoth looks quite like a mighty rhinoceros, but upon closer inspection, one can see that it is covered with a thick layer of steel armor, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, giving it an indestructible feel.
"Oh no, that's a Steel Armor Beast!"
"Everyone open fire immediately! Don't let it get close to the city walls!" Le Gang quickly issued the order.
"Put-put-put."
In an instant, countless tongues of fire spewed from the city wall, and even the fastest cheetah beasts couldn't outrun bullets and were quickly killed.
Even when faced with such a fierce attack, the armored beast covered in thick steel armor still moved steadily and its speed did not decrease at all.
The bullets that whistled through the air struck its incredibly tough armor like raindrops falling on a stone, only creating tiny sparks and failing to cause any real damage.
The Steel Armor Beast showed no reaction to the attack and continued running.
As the steel-armored beast drew ever closer to the Great Wall, Le Gang shouted:
"fire!"
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several cannons around him fired simultaneously.
The gunners had already adjusted their angles and ranges, aiming at the charging armored beast.
Several shells slammed into the armored beast, and the area under concentrated fire exploded instantly like a powder keg that had been ignited.
Surprisingly, the Steel Armor Beast only paused briefly before bursting out of the explosion's flames once more.
"He's still alive!"
"impossible!"
The soldiers were taken aback, staring in disbelief at the still-running armored beast.
Logically speaking, although this armored beast possesses powerful defenses, it would be absolutely impossible for it to withstand artillery fire.
But the facts are right before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to believe them.
"Keep firing!" Le Gang ordered again, sensing that something was amiss.
"Bang!"
Another round of fierce shelling followed, and flames immediately erupted within the blast radius.
The Steel Armor Beast charged out of the flames again, but it still couldn't kill the Steel Armor Beast directly!
"How is this possible!" Le Gang exclaimed, his face full of bewilderment.
Even though the Steel Armor Beast is covered with a steel-like exoskeleton that has extremely high resistance to elasticity and puncture, it is absolutely impossible for it to withstand two waves of artillery fire.
There's definitely something fishy going on here!
Just then, a blue light suddenly appeared beneath the Steel Armor Beast's feet, indicating that someone had cast a wind-based speed boost on it.
"not good!"
Le Gang felt a sense of foreboding. He could already see the special bombs strapped to the armored beast.
The steel-armored beast is getting closer and closer; there's only one last chance to fire!
Le Gang guessed that since someone was secretly using wind-based abilities on the armored beast, someone must have activated some kind of ability to protect it just now.
"If you want to start by attacking my eastern front, you'd better think twice about whether you actually have the capability!"
"drink!"
With a roar, Le Gang's body rapidly transformed into steel, its metallic texture shimmering with a cold light like liquid, and he quickly entered the steel elemental state.
Several guns floated slowly around Le Gang, which he easily controlled.
If this round of shelling fails to kill it, he must personally rush down to block the armored beast; he absolutely cannot be the first commander-in-chief to damage the Great Wall.
With him around, we absolutely cannot let the Steel Armor Beast get even a step closer to the Great Wall!
