War raged, soul power surged in waves, reflecting the cruel faces of countless Abyssal Creatures. Bathed in thunderous explosions, they returned from death and launched another assault on the human defenses.
"Fuck you, Abyssal Creatures!"
Outside Mingdu, the Soul Tool Masters and soldiers across the three defensive lines had bloodshot eyes. Utterly exhausted, they moved like machines, repeating the same motions over and over.
Today marked the end of the second day of their resistance against the Abyss Invasion.
With the aid of Soul Tools, they had initially managed to suppress the advance of the Abyssal Army. But as more and more Soul Tool Shells were expended and Soul Tool Launchers collapsed completely from overuse, the number of Abyssal Army troops never decreased.
It was as if this assault would never end.
Humans were not machines. They grew tired.
Even Mingdu, the place in the Sun Moon Empire with the greatest number of Soul Masters and Soul Tool Masters, could no longer endure under the strain of the excessively long battlefront and relentless attrition.
Inside the commander's tent at the rear, the Legion Commanders of the four Beast King Level Soul Tool Master Legions, along with those of the other Soul Tool Master Legions, had all come to see Ju Zi.
Even powerful figures of the Sun Moon Empire such as Xu Tianyuan, who had once been high-spirited and seemingly above all others, now looked somewhat weary and lost.
Their reason for seeking Ju Zi was simple: the soldiers could not hold on any longer. The army had to retreat into Mingdu and establish a new defensive line using the newly constructed fortifications.
Mingdu had many districts, each of which had been fortified. This would also divide the enemy's forces, preventing the Abyssal Army from concentrating its strength to attack
