Attack and defense

Fang Weiyan and Weiwei returned to the city. At first glance, they saw rows of machine guns mounted on the city walls.

Seeing these weapons, Fang Weiyan felt a little more at ease.

Unfortunately, close-in weapon systems (CIWS) require electricity, and the power supply is quite large, plus they're not easy to obtain.

Otherwise, if close-in weapon systems were set up on this site, Fang Weiyan felt that the defense would be basically no problem.

The passage is right behind us; we can't afford to lose this spot.

Countless military supplies from the city have already been moved up.

Do you know where the other Human Sovereign are stationed?

Fang Weiyan turned around and asked Weiwei, who was standing to the side.

Didn't we say before that the first channel to open faces greater pressure than other channels?

Fang Weiyan also wanted to know where the other passages were located.

"Your Majesty, how could I know that..."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei replied helplessly.

To find out where these passages are, they would have to search for each other, and the distance between them wouldn't be too far.

If the distance is too far, then there's absolutely no way to find it.

In the past, no one had ever thought of going to find each other.

After all, it's just a defensive strategy for a period of time.

All that's needed is to honestly guard the passage.

Seeing that Weiwei was unaware, Fang Weiyan didn't say anything more.

After nodding to the other party, he immediately ordered more supplies to be brought in.

He was still somewhat worried that if the creatures inside developed intelligence, it would be difficult to deal with them later.

"Your Majesty, the news has reached the Emperor of Jiang."

After delivering the message to the Jiang Kingdom, Yin God hurriedly returned to Empress Wanxi's side.

Upon hearing this, Empress Wanxi looked around the passageway in front of her and at the countless Yin God and soldiers who had already been stationed there, and slowly nodded.

"Your Majesty, now that we've entered ahead of schedule, the sinister forces we'll face this time are likely to be far more formidable than those we've encountered before."

The general, watching this scene, immediately spoke up, feeling somewhat worried.

An immortal being is indeed not so easy to deal with.

Empress Wanxi was naturally aware of this, but considering the grain from the Jiang Kingdom, she felt it was all worthwhile.

As long as the other party accepts the favor, they can obtain the other party's grain seeds and achieve the same high yield.

At that time, we will be able to resolve our current predicament.

"Although there was some risk involved, the rewards were enormous afterward."

Empress Wanxi spoke, then turned to the Yin God beside her and asked, "What did that Human Sovereign say?"

He said, "I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's kindness."

Upon hearing this, the Yin God immediately replied.

Upon hearing this, Empress Wanxi's lips pursed slightly, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

She was relieved that the other person appreciated her gesture, but she was worried that they might ignore her goodwill, which would be terrible.

"Very good."

"Have the soldiers guard the area around the passage. The supplies have all been brought in. Now that we've arrived ahead of schedule, let's make proper arrangements and not waste any time."

Now that we've arrived early, we can't delay the preparations we need to make.

Things like digging trenches are also necessary.

Otherwise, if the fighting resumes, the ground soldiers will likely suffer significant losses.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately responded in unison.

Land of Ten Thousand Witherings.

Three days later, in the blink of an eye, it was already three days later.

The rows of corpses, which had previously stood like wooden statues, suddenly seemed to be summoned at the same time.

The next moment, they all opened their eyes.

Then, with a roar, these gloomy creatures began to rush away into the distance.

Their destination was none other than the passageway.

At this time, the city walls near the passage were almost completed.

With the combined efforts of countless craftsmen, a complete city stood before us. Although the interior was not yet fully completed, the defensive walls had already been erected.

The dark, menacing creatures, however, paid no heed to this, roaring as they charged toward the city wall.

They could sense that the passage was inside the city walls, and all they had to do was break through the walls.

At that time, they will be able to continuously pour yin Yin Qi into it.

These are the commands they received.

"Enemy attack!"

The deputy general guarding the city, holding a telescope, immediately noticed the unusual activity in the distance.

Immediately, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the surrounding area.

At this moment, Weiwei also noticed the abnormality ahead. When she saw the dark, shadowy creatures rushing towards her, her expression changed drastically.

He immediately ordered his sisters to stay in the city.

At that moment, Lin Liyun also rushed to the city wall. Looking at the densely packed monsters surging towards him, he couldn't help but change color.

He had never seen such a scene before, and was somewhat shocked to see it suddenly.

However, he was not shocked for long. He quickly calmed himself down and ordered the soldiers on the city wall to prepare.

The guns in their hands were already loaded with bullets.

"Hold your ground and obey my orders!"

Looking at the many gloomy things in front of him, Lin Liyun's palms were sweating.

He knew his men were just as nervous, but he absolutely couldn't lose his composure at this moment.

With this in mind, Lin Liyun immediately gave the order loudly, and his voice reassured his subordinates considerably.

After all, we were used to hearing each other's voices before.

The sound of that voice brought a sense of reassurance.

Within moments of receiving his command, a dense swarm of shadowy creatures rushed towards him from afar.

"Fire!"

At a command, the machine guns on the city wall opened fire fiercely.

The sound of gunfire rang out, and countless bullets rained down in an instant.

The gloomy things that had been rushing in like a tide suddenly began to fall in rows, as if harvesting wheat, falling neatly and orderly.

Moreover, gloomy things kept falling down.

It was as if an invisible barrier had appeared in front of them, blocking out all the gloom.

These sinister beings, however, have no emotions whatsoever. To them, such an attack cannot kill them; at most, it will only temporarily render them unable to move, requiring them to continue to condense their physical bodies.

For them, this is no big deal.

Weiwei and her clansmen, who were flying to the side and were ready to make a move, were stunned when they saw what was happening below.

They originally thought that with such a small force in the city, it would be extremely difficult to defend against these lowly foes.

However, unexpectedly, it seemed that these troops were enough to hold the line.

Gu Lu

The speed at which these guys below fell down, row by row, was even faster than the speed at which they attacked!

She herself estimated that even if she were to take action, she probably wouldn't be able to kill the enemy that quickly!

What is this?

At this moment, another member of the tribe standing to the side was also somewhat stunned by the situation below.

To be honest, this thing in front of me is a bit too bizarre.

Although those below are all cannon fodder.

But there's no reason why they should be so easy to deal with.

But the soldiers below, holding something in their hands, opened fire indiscriminately, and the gloomy creatures in front of them fell to the ground like wheat.

This thing is amazing!

She had seen Human Race bows and arrows before, but those things were nothing compared to the weapons below.

She couldn't see clearly what was going on at all.

The gloomy creatures ahead had already suffered heavy casualties.

Such a scene sent a chill down her spine.

"These things seem pretty easy to deal with."

At this moment, Lin Liyun, who was on the city wall, looked at the scene below and saw that none of these things had rushed over. He immediately felt relieved.

At this moment, these things seemed quite ordinary to him.

They're not that difficult to deal with.

I've spoken to the Emperor several times before, and he said that this thing is immortal and indestructible, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

He was under immense pressure, fearing that these things would rush over and breach the city.

But looking at it now, it seems nothing special.

Upon hearing Lin Liyun's words, Weiwei's lips curled into a smirk.

This guy makes it sound so easy; he clearly doesn't know anything about it.

In the past, when other dynasties dealt with these things, they would suffer considerable losses on the very first day of battle.

If the fighting continues, the casualties will only increase.

After all, if the fighting continues and the enemy turns out to be an invincible force, morale will plummet, and the fighting will become increasingly difficult.

And right here, the two sides have only just made contact.

The originally fierce and sinister creature instantly turned into something as thin as paper.

Lin Liyun was overjoyed and immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to start throwing Molotov cocktails into the distance.

The main reason for using this method was to test the effectiveness of Molotov cocktails.

If it's effective, you can continue using it.

To avoid misjudging the strength of one's own weapons and causing errors that could affect the course of the battle.

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers immediately began throwing.

At this moment, bottles were thrown into the distance.

A crackling sound followed, but the murky substance, stained with gasoline, remained oblivious and continued its charge forward.

Then, a torch was thrown over.

With a loud "whoosh," flames erupted.

The gloomy, flame-laden creature continued its relentless charge forward.

The flames on their bodies had no effect on them whatsoever.

However, after a short while, these gloomy things collapsed to the ground, and the fire resumed burning.

It seems the Molotov cocktail wasn't effective here.

Lin Liyun did not stop at this moment, but simply ordered his men to continue throwing Molotov cocktails.

So far, there's been no noticeable effect, and he wants to see if continuing will have any positive impact.

To his disappointment, a wall of fire had already been set off ahead.

However, this wall of fire was still completely ineffective; the shadowy creature ignored the flames and continued its charge forward.

Seeing this, Lin Liyun realized that fire attacks would not be effective here, and immediately ordered the soldiers to stop.

Meanwhile, the machine guns on the city wall continued to fire relentlessly.

These lurking creatures charged with ferocity and were arranged in extremely dense formations, which greatly facilitated the machine guns.

All you need to do is keep firing in front of you, and rows of gloomy creatures will fall down.

Weiwei and the others stopped watching this scene.

Judging from the situation, the soldiers below are perfectly capable of handling things on their own.

If that's the case, they won't have to worry for the time being.

Let's observe for now and make our move when a formidable enemy emerges.

With this in mind, Weiwei and the others looked down at the situation with great curiosity.

"Your Majesty, news has arrived from the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings!"

Inside the palace, a soldier hurriedly arrived at the Imperial Study and then left to report.

After these treacherous entities made their move, he briefly assessed the enemy situation before heading to the palace to report.

"How is the situation?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan stood up abruptly. He wasn't in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings every day.

Upon hearing the report, he immediately stood up and inquired.

"Before I left, the fighting had already broken out in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings. The weapons bestowed by His Majesty are extremely powerful. Those lurking creatures had barely made their way forward when they were completely wiped out. These lurking creatures fell like wheat, one after another."

"Based on the situation before I left, these elusive creatures certainly wouldn't have managed to breach the city walls."

Upon hearing this, the soldier quickly recounted everything he had just witnessed.

Fang Weiyan felt a sense of relief upon hearing this.

He was worried that these things wouldn't be afraid of firearms.

Looking at it now, I realize I was overthinking things.

These things are still afraid of firearms after all.

Although they are immortal and indestructible, it still takes some time for them to recover after being scattered.

This was something Weiwei had mentioned to him before.

"Hmm, well done. Continue the investigation, and report back immediately if any emergencies occur."

Once Fang Weiyan was certain that these things would not pose a threat to the passage for the time being, he felt relieved.

If something as elusive as this manages to get through the passage and reach the Jiang Kingdom, that would be a real problem.

Jiang Kingdom cannot withstand such devastation at the moment.

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately stood up and withdrew.

"If firearms are effective, then we shouldn't have to worry for the time being."

Fang Weiyan pondered for a moment.

Weiwei and the others were experts in the Flower Blooming Realm, and he estimated that if they encountered something like Yin God, Weiwei should be able to handle it.

If that's the case, then there's no need to send other Yin God inside for the time being.

After all, there are many demons outside who are eyeing humanity with predatory intent.

If too many Yin God are sent in, some cities will eventually be left without any Yin God to defend them.

This is something we must be wary of.

If demons were to infiltrate the city, many civilians would surely suffer.
