Nie Yangze looked at the Zhenyao Army, trapped deep in the distant beast tide, and let out a soft sigh. He began gathering the defenders from all four walls at the western gate, preparing to fend off the monsters.
During the battle last night, Huangfu Yun and the others had already realized that a powerful monster was directing the beast tide from behind the scenes.
It had sent small numbers of monsters to harass and attack the eastern gate, drawing away the defenders, then launched its main assault on the west. Its strategy was still crude, but it was undoubtedly the art of dividing the enemy before striking.
Ordinary Earth Fiend Realm monsters could never have managed such a thing. Though their intelligence was on par with ordinary people, Earth Fiend Realm monsters were naturally violent. They simply didn't have the subtlety to devise a siege strategy.
The plan was to use the Zhenyao Army as bait to lure out the monster directing the beasts, then slay it with the Execution Platform, drawing on the qi and blood of the city's people.
That was the decision Huangfu Yun and the other centurions had reached after discovering that the monsters were preparing to launch an all-out attack.
To keep passively defending the city would be to wait for death. Rather than die ignominiously inside the walls, they would fight with all they had. Perhaps they might even gain something unexpected.
Sure enough, the enormous qi and blood contained in the Zhenyao Army and the Execution Platform had lured out a flood dragon. Huangfu Yun and the others had achieved their goal.
The chaotic horde would no longer charge as frantically as before. Shuangyue City could cling to life a little longer—perhaps even survive this calamity.
