"Cannons, prepare!"
Le Gang raised his right hand high, ready to give the order to fire.
Before the third round of artillery fire could begin, Li Yu, standing on the Great Wall, had already raised his crossbow and aimed at the armored beast that was charging straight toward the Great Wall.
"call out!"
An armor-piercing arrow shot out at lightning speed.
As Li Yu suddenly fired an arrow, Xu Lin, who was standing next to him, stared wide-eyed down at the scene below.
With a "bang".
The steel-armored beast, which had survived two rounds of intense artillery bombardment unscathed, suddenly had its incredibly hard head explode like a watermelon without warning.
Green blood and white brain matter splattered everywhere.
"boom!"
Almost at the same moment the Steel Armored Beast died, a deafening explosion rang out.
Whether it was remotely controlled or triggered by death, the bombs planted on the Steel Armor Beast also exploded on the spot.
A tremendous burst of energy erupted, producing a deafening roar and instantly creating a massive shockwave that, along with torrential rain, crashed wildly against the Great Wall.
The soldiers on the Great Wall were all terrified.
"It's a small nuclear bomb!"
Damn it!
"Damn it, luckily we're still quite far away, otherwise we would have been in big trouble."
The soldiers from Zhongzhou on the Great Wall were terrified upon seeing this, and couldn't help but curse with lingering fear.
Le Gang was also quite surprised at this moment:
"It's a small nuclear bomb... Where did the Eternal Flame Alliance get this technology from?"
If that armored beast had actually managed to reach the Great Wall, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Perhaps, a small nuclear bomb could actually blast a hole in the Great Wall.
Even though he had just rushed down and successfully stopped the Steel Armor Beast, the distance was still too close to that small, well-hidden nuclear bomb, even with his superhuman elemental abilities.
He will likely not escape unscathed, and may even suffer serious injuries.
"Wow, Li Yu is amazing!" Only Xu Lin exclaimed excitedly, thinking to himself:
'The armored beast, which even cannons couldn't kill, was killed by Li Yu with a single arrow. Was his arrow more powerful than a cannonball?'
'Truly worthy of someone with 100 potential points; their future is limitless.'
Only after the armored beast was killed by an arrow did Le Gang finally feel relieved, and his elemental body immediately returned to normal.
"Well done!" Le Gang praised.
There's actually such a talent hidden in this section of the Great Wall in the eastern part of the city!
If even the first wave of probing attacks requires his personal intervention as the commander-in-chief of the eastern front, then the Central Plains defense line might indeed be unable to withstand the Eternal Fire Alliance.
Le Gang turned to look around and asked loudly:
Who shot that arrow just now?
Before Li Yu could respond, Xu Lin, standing beside him, impatiently shouted at Le Gang:
"Brother Le, I know! It's Li Yu, the commander of the New Seventh Regiment!"
The voice was so loud, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear it, that it seemed even more proactive than Li Yu herself.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Le Gang's eyes, and he couldn't help but nod in approval:
"Well done! Li Yu, right?"
Only then did he remember Li Yu's name.
He thought to himself, with such powerful strength that he could instantly kill alien beasts, it's no wonder that Li Yu was able to become the leader at such a young age.
Just then, another crisis struck.
Accompanied by a series of deep roars, another large wave of alien beasts controlled by supernatural powers charged forward.
The crowd gathered below the defensive line was terrified after witnessing the immense power of the beast's sudden explosion.
Seeing another wave of even more ferocious beasts rushing towards them, these people's mental defenses completely collapsed.
They couldn't care about anything else anymore, they turned around and ran away as fast as they could, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.
The crowd had only run a few steps.
"Rat-a-tat-tat..." A burst of dense gunfire suddenly rang out.
It turned out that the Awakened Ones of Zhongzhou on the Great Wall were holding machine guns and were firing at those who were trying to escape without hesitation.
In an instant, those running in the first row were shot dead on the spot and fell to the ground dead.
This sudden scene brought the panicked group to a halt. They turned around in terror, staring at the dark gun barrels on the city wall.
Then, with trepidation, they turned their gaze to the rapidly approaching horde of strange beasts in the distance, finding themselves in a desperate situation where they could neither advance nor retreat.
"You have been conscripted! Those who retreat will die!" the awakened one from Zhongzhou shouted to the crowd.
Clearly, at this moment, their fate was no longer in their own hands.
"We're getting closer," the scout in charge of reconnaissance reminded them again.
Le Gang turned around and loudly ordered the soldiers on the Great Wall:
"Attention all personnel! Prepare to fire."
He knew in his heart that if everyone just stood on the Great Wall and passively defended, sooner or later they would be exploited.
After a brief moment of thought, Le Gang made a resolute decision—to take the initiative!
Immediately afterwards, Le Gang began to issue a series of orders in an orderly manner:
"Awakened Team 1, prepare for ranged attack! Be ready to respond at any time."
"Awakened Team 2, stand by."
"The Awakened..."
Upon receiving the commander-in-chief's order, each squad quickly responded and sprang into action.
The awakened ones on the Great Wall began to gather their supernatural abilities and accumulate energy in preparation for an attack.
Meanwhile, a small team of water-element awakened individuals quietly arrived at the foot of the city wall.
They cleverly used the rainwater flowing down the city walls to carefully set up hidden traps on the ground.
These traps were set up in the large bodies of water beneath the city walls, with small whirlpools swirling on the surface. Once a strange beast stepped into them, it would be trapped and unable to escape.
Meanwhile, a squad of Rock Awakeners had already begun reinforcing the city walls.
Together, they used their rock-based abilities to alter the surrounding terrain, creating cliffs of varying heights in an attempt to intercept the beast's straight charge.
Soon, the various teams sent out by Le Gang completed their respective tasks. Several awakened teams seemed to be experienced and confident in how to deal with these alien beasts.
"roar!"
A group of strange beasts carrying bombs charged in from afar once again.
Each beast seemed to be controlled from behind, nimbly dodging left and right, constantly avoiding the dense attacks on the Great Wall, and advancing forward at an astonishing speed.
"Fire!"
At Le Gang's command on the Great Wall, the soldiers pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Machine guns and cannons fired simultaneously, and even the various ranged attacks of the Awakened Squad were unleashed, all combined with the gunfire.
"boom!"
With one explosion, a series of continuous explosions followed.
