Chapter 212: Defend the City
Chapter 212: Defend the City
On the mountain, most of the Hidden Dragon Battalions disciples had already arrived.
A few people had fled and were swatted to death by General Ninth Month.
If these were normal times, he wouldnt have done this. However, this was wartime. If someone fled, that would seriously affect the overall morale.
He had previously given these people a chance when letting them know the situation.
These people hadnt taken that chance. Instead, they fled upon arriving on the battlefield, which made others suspect that they had some special purpose.
After all, the matter of the Hidden Dragon Battalion having spies from Heavenly Ren Academy was an open secret, but even General Ninth Month didnt know who those spies were.
After he killed those people, Hidden Dragon Battalions geniuses no longer ran. They gritted their teeth and prepared to fight against the Blue-Eyed Race.
However, standing on the mountain, they saw a terrifying scene that made them fearful.
Immediately outside the Protective Wall Mountain were numerous mechanical and demonic beasts as well as Blue-Eyed Race martial artists and some Ren Race martial artists.
Ling Xiao estimated that there were three to four thousand giants.
One should know that these were all martial artists, mechanical beasts, and demonic beasts, not ordinary people.
This number was enough to tightly encircle Hollow Cloud City.
Blue-Eyed Race truly has a wolfish nature. Even in the matter of Dream Pills, they were more open than the Ren Race. This time, they are aggressively invading White Cloud Province. Their wild ambition has clearly been exposed.
General Ninth Month snorted angrily.
There are just 20,000 defenders in Hollow Cloud City. Among them, about 8,000 are the troops of the Governor Residence. Commander Lin can only mobilize 10,000 or so people, and most of them are martial artists below Rank Four Martial Vein.
He continued, Fortunately, most of the enemies are also martial artists and beasts are below Rank Four Martial Vein. Otherwise, we would have no chance of victory.
In fact, comparatively speaking, it was easier to deal with martial artists.
Mechanical beasts were all forged with special materials, so they had amazing defenses. Without a cultivation base of Rank Four Martial Vein or above, it was basically impossible to break them.
The geniuses of the Hidden Dragon Battalion had come here to deal with the mechanical beasts. The rest would be left for the army.
Begin! Theres no need to heed my orders. Fight on your own and focus on the mechanical beasts!
General Ninth Month jumped out and joined the battle.
The other Hidden Dragon Battalions disciples also joined the battle in succession.
At this time, there truly was no time to hesitate.
Once Hollow Cloud City was breached, there would be a tragic slaughter. They also had relatives and friends in the city, so they naturally would fight to protect them.
Bang, Bang, Boom, Boom!
All kinds of attacks hit the mechanical beasts, releasing the sound of steel being struck.
Upon a closer look, one would notice that most of the mechanical beasts were forged with steel, so these sounds were nothing surprising.
The attacks of martial artists below Martial Disciple were tickles without effect.
Boom!
Ling Xiao appeared, and with a punch, two ferocious bull-shaped mechanical beasts shattered.
You all, go and deal with those demonic beasts and Blue-Eyed Races martial artists! Leave these mechanical beasts to us!
With true essence circulating in his hands, Ling Xiao stood there like a God of War that had descended from heaven.
When the Martial Pupils who had been hard-pressed by the mechanical beasts saw Ling Xiao who was just 14 or 15-years-old destroying two mechanism beasts equivalent to Peak Rank Five Martial Vein martial artists with a single fist, they were shocked but quickly became pleasantly surprised.
They are the geniuses of the Hidden Dragon Battalion! Were saved!
All martial artists above Rank Four, select mechanical beasts and kill them. As for the rest, deal with Blue Eyed Races martial artists and demonic beasts below Rank Four!
Lin Zes voice resounded.
He was commander-in-chief of this Protective Wall Battle.
Before Ling Xiao and the others had rushed over, he had personally beheaded a Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master from the Blue-Eyed Race. However, he had been injured and was now recovering.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for that Giant Elephant Puppet to be so unscrupulous.
Yes!
With his command, the battle became more orderly.
In addition to Ling Xiao, the other disciples of the Hidden Dragon Battalion had joined the fray.
Since most of them were martial artists above Rank Four Martial Vein, they naturally had to deal with the mechanical beasts.
Although they couldnt completely change the war situation, they could gain some advantages.
Dai Yuling, Ling Yixue, Shi Lei, Leng Mei, and Ling Xiao, these five people, had gained a lot of benefits from White Cloud Great Master, and their strength had soared.
When they made a move, rank seven demonic beasts and rank seven mechanical beasts had no chance to survive.
In an instant, dozens of beasts either collapsed or were killed, which boosted the morale of Hollow Cloud Citys defending troops.
However, there were also stronger mechanical and demonic beasts. This time, the Blue-Eyed Race had obviously come prepared. In addition, they had the help of Ren Race. Soon, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
The battle was getting fiercer and fiercer and more and more tragic.
Death had already become commonplace on the battlefield.
The Hidden Dragon Battalions geniuses also began to suffer casualties.
One, two, three!
When they died, they werent terrified; they desperately tried to perish together with their enemies.
Although this scene made General Ninth Month and Lin Ze feel distressed, they could do nothing about it.
That damned Wan Ben didnt allow the Governor Residences people to help. He had even dispatched Heavenly Ren Academys disciples to help the Blue-Eyed Race in secret.
Under such circumstances, the Hidden Dragon Battalions geniuses had to fight alone. Otherwise, their training would have been meaningless.
Bang!
Kacha~~
On the battlefield, a figure shuttled back and forth like lightning. Every time he stopped, either mechanical beasts would be destroyed or demonic beasts killed.
With a single punch, he would often destroy five or six mechanism beasts.
This terrifying attack power and movement technique greatly surprised many martial artists.
Naturally, after overcoming their surprise, they were happy.
After all, he was on their side!
Lin Ze looked at Ling Xiaos performance and couldnt help nodding his head. He had truly been right about this boy. Not only was he an outstanding talent, but he also had loyalty to the nation. He knew that he had to help when the nation was in danger.
In fact, as a disciple of White Cloud Great Master, he didnt need to participate in this battle. He wouldnt lose his life because he could leave this place with White Cloud Great Masters protection.
However, he didnt do that.
Ling Yixue, Leng Mei, Shi Lei, Dai Yuling and the others had obviously been influenced by Ling Xiao to play a vital role on the battlefield.
Watch out!
Suddenly, Lin Ze shot up.
A rank eight mechanism beast was rushing towards Ling Xiao. In addition, there were four or five rank six and seven mechanical beasts around him.
It was obvious that Ling Xiaos performance had attracted the attention of the Blue-Eyed Races higher-ups, so they now planned to kill him.
On the battlefield, such heroes would generally become a thorn in an opponents eyes. Ling Xiao was no exception.
The number of beasts he had defeated was a bit too conspicuous.
Commander Lin, you dont need to worry!
On the battlefield, Ling Xiao wouldnt address Lin Ze as Master or Teacher.
He was a soldier here.
Although a rank eight mechanical beast was powerful, it was just a puppet. It had no intellect or brain. It only relied on simple patterns to attack.
He had long heard that the Blue-Eyed Race had powerful mechanical masters who had deciphered the inscriptions of ancient times.
