As the war continued, all of Shrek City had been completely engulfed in flames, and the situation grew ever more tense.
It was undeniable that, with Shrek City's rigorous recruitment standards and abundant training resources, its City Defense Army was made up entirely of elites. Their cultivation was generally no lower than that of Soul Elders, and their equipment was of exceptional quality. Judging solely by individual capabilities on paper, they far surpassed ordinary Federation soldiers and could put up a fight against any army.
However, they had underestimated the Federation's resolve. To attack Shrek City, the Federation had directly deployed the Central Legion and Western Legion, two major legions totaling 120,000 elite troops. With Shrek City's mere 10,000 troops, most of whom had not seen a battlefield in years, trying to resist the Federation's two ace legions was nothing but a fool's dream.
As the battle continued, the fighting grew increasingly fierce. Although neither side's high-ranking powerhouses above the Soul Douluo level had entered the fray, and both sides still maintained the most basic restraint, the conflict continued escalating. Casualties appeared on both sides, and blood stained the ground beneath their feet.
From the moment the war began, the Federation army's artillery had bombarded Shrek City's walls without pause, while the City Defense Army of Shrek City continued to fight back tenaciously.
Yet overall, Shrek City was undoubtedly suffering far heavier casualties.
The massive Soul Power barrier atop Shrek City's walls had long been battered into a shattered mess by the Federation forces' relentless bombardment.
That once-dazzling, impregnable barrier that represented Shrek City's defenses now resembled a tattered fishing net riddled with holes, no longer capable of serving any practical purpose.
Only crack after crack, like savage scars, spread across its surface, preserving the last remnants of its dignity.
