The people of West Asia also knew that the city gate was the key point of defense, so they stationed heavy troops there. Aside from the outstanding defensive evolver, most others with ranged attack capabilities were also placed here.
As long as the city gate remained intact, the few attackers outside would find it utterly impossible to breach the Holy City.
After two waves of attacks, the flying vehicles hovering in the air suddenly appeared at the mid-section of the city wall, launching missiles from above.
The attacking side always held the initiative, and Cloud Summit Villa was no exception.
Warriors armed with rocket launchers appeared here as well, targeting not the city gate but the evolvers on the city wall and various city defense equipment.
Even with the illumination flares lighting the sky like daylight, the further away one looked, the darker it became.
The warriors of Cloud Summit Villa successfully utilized this point, along with the range of the V3 artillery rocket, to launch two rounds of attacks with quick movements, coordinated with the Jingjue Floating Sphere, before retreating just in time, not giving the defenders any chance to counter.
At the city gate, the attacks did not cease. The war fortresses, which had already retreated, struck again, conducting two bombings.
After the second wave of attacks, Cloud Summit still did not achieve any results; not a single missile or rocket hit the city gate, nor did they destroy any city defense equipment or injure a single Holy City warrior.
At this moment, the illumination flares, which had been slowly rising, reached their peak and began to float in the air, swaying somewhat with the wind.
This made the shadows below quiver, creating an eerie atmosphere on such a night.
The Jingjue Floating Sphere flew away again, and the Cloud Summit warriors retreated.
Above the City Lord's Mansion, there was a sense of glee, though some expressed concern.
"Another attack like this, Holy Sovereign, their ammunition has not run out. The reason they are attacking in batches—could it be part of a scheme? Where the gaze of the Almighty does not reach, there are always some cunning and treacherous individuals," one person said while bowing down, touching his chest when mentioning the Almighty.
The City Lord remained silent, but someone laughed and said, "Su Haile, you think too highly of them. The fact is, they are a bunch of foolish guys, haven't we already confirmed this? They are the ones who killed His Highness the Prince! Previously, we were careless and allowed him to use a special roulette to attack us, but since then, you know what kind of development our Holy City has experienced. We haven't even sought revenge on him, yet they come knocking on our door. And they are just over a hundred thousand strong! No matter how many missiles they have, what can they do? They will still be wiped out by us! By tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, our slave army will not be affected by the darkness; that will be when we eradicate them!"
After speaking, he bowed towards the Holy City Lord, saying, "Your Majesty, I request to deploy our air force to give these daring Easterners a lesson before their impending extinction!"
The City Lord, who was also King of the Holy City, His Majesty Ahmed, looked at his subordinates with a smile before waving his hand, saying, "Alright, but do not go too deep; just let these Cloud Summit Villa people taste some bitterness. What we need to do is wait for dawn. The slave army is one aspect, mainly said needs a little preparation time. He will give those outside a heavy memory of death."
Everyone revealed a look of understanding, even Su Haile, who had previously expressed concern.

"BOSS, their air force has appeared!"
A staff officer looked at the images transmitted back from the Jingjue Floating Sphere and reported the enemy's movements in a timely manner.
"Is there any sign of the air force from the Temple of Dawn?"
