Hexagram Formation

"Xiao Zhen, Wild City is up ahead!" Vanguard reminded him.

Looking at the desolate, gloomy surroundings, Xiao Zhen could not help complaining, "Do the Fierce Beast Clan all like living in places like this? Or is it because they're the villains, so they can only live in such dark places?"

"Xiao Zhen, a large number of Black Iron Beasts have been spotted ahead. Looks like there's going to be a fierce battle!" Tornado, who had suddenly flown above Xiao Zhen, warned urgently.

"Oh? Is that so? I was worried it would be another empty city. Since they're already prepared, there's no need to hesitate. All troops, attack." Xiao Zhen immediately gave the order.

"They're charging at us! Everyone, prepare yourselves—Hexagram Formation!" Watching the enemy army draw closer and closer, Golden Iron Beast, who was commanding the battle, shouted his orders.

When the main force of the Motorcycle Clan stopped two hundred meters before the Black Iron Beast army, they discovered that the enemy had deployed a special formation.

"Xiao Zhen, look at those Black Iron Beasts up ahead. What are they doing? What a strange formation. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it!" Vanguard asked curiously.

Xiao Zhen got out of his vehicle and observed them carefully for a while. After searching through the memories in his mind, he said in confusion, "I remember Golden Iron Beast seemed to have developed some kind of formation. Could this be the one?"

"Who cares what formation it is? Leave it to our air force!" Tornado said. He immediately transformed and flew into the sky. Together with Supersonic, he led the airborne units in their attack.

At that moment, the Black Iron Beast army had fifty or sixty thousand Black Iron Beasts arranged in a peculiar formation.

Six Black Iron Beasts formed a circle, while six smaller circles formed one large circle. They continuously spun and leaped, looking perfectly organized.

Xiao Zhen seemed to remember that this formation was quite formidable, but he did not care much. With only a few tens of thousands of Black Iron Beasts, could they really stop his army of hundreds of thousands?

Soon, the air force launched its attack on the Black Iron Beast army. Countless missiles and machine-gun rounds rained down upon the Black Iron Beasts as if they cost nothing.

The Black Iron Beast army relied on their new formation and displayed tremendous power on the battlefield. Whenever a Black Iron Beast was killed, another immediately took its place.

The Black Iron Beast formation was indeed formidable. They easily dodged countless shells, while their own firepower was extremely accurate. The airborne troops did not gain much of an advantage.

"What kind of damn formation is this? It's actually this troublesome!" Tornado said irritably as he directed his troops to fire.

At that moment, aircraft in the sky kept crashing to the ground and exploding into heaps of wreckage.

Watching the Hexagram Formation display its might on the battlefield, Wild Star praised it happily, "Very good! Who invented this formation? I will reward him handsomely."

"Reporting to Marshal, this formation was invented by General Golden Iron Beast. After the previous defeat, General Golden Iron Beast began developing formations, which led to this Hexagram Formation!" a Black Iron Beast beside him reported.

"Oh, Golden Iron Beast invented it? I understand. I'll definitely reward him handsomely later!" Wild Star said excitedly.

Seeing the unconcealed excitement on Wild Star's face, Silver Iron Beast, standing nearby, clenched his claws. Golden Iron Beast had stolen the spotlight again today. It seemed that his position as commander-in-chief, which he had barely had time to settle into, would soon return to Golden Iron Beast.

At that thought, Silver Iron Beast's eyes filled with killing intent. He had already secretly pledged allegiance to Tiger King. Once he found an opportunity, he would get rid of both that detestable Golden Iron Beast and Wild Star, that stupid brute who did not know how to appreciate his talents.

"What are Tornado and Supersonic doing? They nearly have twice as many troops as the other side, yet they're fighting this badly." Vanguard said gloomily.

"No! This isn't their fault. The Black Iron Beasts' formation is simply too powerful. If I'd known, I wouldn't have saved Golden Iron Beast back then. Now I've really brought this upon myself."

"Blaze, lead the ground forces and assist Tornado's men in coordinated air-ground combat. Break the Black Iron Beasts' formation in one stroke," Xiao Zhen ordered.

Blaze nodded and immediately waved his hand. Countless Motorcycle Warriors followed behind him, and quite a few were pushing cannons—these were the heavy weapons they had brought along.

It was precisely these heavy weapons that had slowed the army's advance. Otherwise, with a group of vehicles and aircraft, even without roads in this world, they would not have moved so slowly. Heavy weapons were essential for attacking a city; without them, the casualties would have been far worse.

Cannons were raised one after another and aimed at the Black Iron Beast positions. At Blaze's command, heavy shells were fired one after another.

The six Black Iron Beasts standing in a circle suddenly exploded from the center, leaving a large crater in the ground. That single shell killed more than twenty Black Iron Beasts in the surrounding area.

"Nicely done!" Xiao Zhen exclaimed excitedly, waving his arms as he took in the entire scene through his binoculars.

Seeing that the enemy had brought out heavy weapons, Golden Iron Beast waved his hand. A group of Black Iron Beasts behind him also rolled out catapults one after another. Yes, you heard that right—catapults.

It was hard to imagine that in this high-tech world filled with robots, not only were there no advanced communication devices, but catapults were also important weapons.

"Prepare! Launch!" At the command of a Black Iron Beast squad leader, countless massive stones were hurled into the sky and smashed down into the Motorcycle Clan army.

A Moon Temple warrior who was firing his machine gun looked at the massive boulder flying toward him and could only let out one final scream before his death.

Standing at the rear, Xiao Zhen watched countless soldiers ahead get crushed or injured by the boulders, and his heart burned with anxiety. Who could have imagined that catapults could have such power? The main reason was that the stones they threw were simply too large, and who knew what those stones were made of—they even seemed to explode.

"Don't be afraid, we're here too! Partners, charge!" At that moment, dozens of large bulldozers rushed out from the Motorcycle Clan side.

Xiao Zhen said in delight, "It's Powerhouse's Strongman Family! They've entered the battle!"

Relying on their high durability and strong defenses, the Strongman Family warriors ignored the shells fired at them. They smashed through the outer perimeter of the Black Iron Beast army and charged straight toward the catapults.

Then, all the bulldozer warriors transformed into combat forms. They leaped onto the catapults and began smashing them relentlessly, reducing them one by one to scrap.

"Hahaha, brothers, charge! Break through their defenses and kill our way into Wild City!" Xiao Zhen shouted excitedly.

Without heavy weapons like catapults on the enemy side, the Motorcycle Warriors' assault went much more smoothly.

"Marshal, the situation seems rather unfavorable. Should we retreat into the city first and use it for defense?" Silver Iron Beast suggested cautiously.

"Hmph!" Wild Star snorted coldly. Pointing at Silver Iron Beast with one hand, he said angrily, "You know full well that Wild City has almost no defensive power. There's barely any difference between inside and outside the city. How can someone as cowardly as you be Wild City's commander-in-chief?"

Hearing Wild Star's furious rebuke, Silver Iron Beast did not dare argue. He could only lower his head and repeatedly apologize. No one could see the intense hatred in his lowered eyes.

Why? Why is everything Golden Iron Beast does always right, while my suggestions never catch your eye? And I have to endure your lectures every day.

Silver Iron Beast roared inwardly, but outwardly he still had to act like a submissive lackey, making the fury in his heart burn even hotter.

Wild Star swept his hand through the air and ordered, "Everyone, heed my command! Charge forward and fight the invading enemy to the death! Defend our territory!"

Under Wild Star's leadership, a vast mass of Black Iron Beasts rushed out of Wild City. There were at least sixty or seventy thousand of them. Together with the fifty or sixty thousand Black Iron Beasts desperately fighting on the front lines, this was already all of Wild City's military strength.
