A piece of information from the Holy City turned out to be incorrect.
That was the reconnaissance of the Cloud Summit's numbers.
Indeed, there were only over 110,000 evolvers from the Cloud Summit participating in the siege, which constituted their main force.
But let's not forget that the Cloud Summit possesses the most teleportation equipment in the national region, and the Underworld Bone Demon Platform and other equipment ensured they could transport a large number of troops to their designated locations in a very short time.
Before the battle began, Ye Zhongming was genuinely worried that if everyone showed up together, it would scare the people of the Holy City.
So he stationed a massive army of gene warriors in the oasis, intending to let them appear when needed.
This might catch the Holy City off guard.
After deciding to focus the attack here, Ye Zhongming allowed the main force of the gene troops to appear.
From several teleportation portals, like celestial spells, they continuously 'spat out' life forms, with thousands of gene warriors emerging every minute.
However, now the western side of the Holy City couldn't care less about reconnaissance; they were under intense bombardment.
The Jingjue Floating Sphere reappeared after disappearing for a while, and fiery missiles flew out from within.
The war fortresses were also concentrated here, and the rockets were raining down on the city walls as if they were free.
The number of grenade launcher rocket shells was particularly annoying; despite their average power, their sheer quantity and frequent firing made the tail flames light up the sky above the city walls in red.
At this moment, there were still zombies ravaging on the walls, and there wasn't enough strength left to intercept these firearms.
They could only rely on that defender's distant support, but it was clear that he was struggling.
If it weren't for the remaining 5,000 guards and other reserve forces rushing in, perhaps just these rockets would have been enough to turn the city walls into a sea of fire.
Even so, the Western City was no longer intercepting like an anti-missile system; instead, they had become passive defenders.
For example, before they were using skills to destroy these missile rockets, which wasn't too difficult for evolvers as long as they had long-range and precise skills, or even long-range weapons.
But now, those skilled in interception either got entangled by zombies or were already injured or killed.
The newly arrived reserve forces mostly relied on defensive equipment or defensive skills to withstand the attacks.
The advantage was that, given their evolution levels and equipment, they could barely intercept these firearms; the downside was that if too many attacks came in a short time, they would be breached.
But regardless, at this moment, the western city walls were in chaos.
The gene warriors entered the battlefield at this time in an unexpected manner.
Their first wave of attacks was not a tidal charge but a silent infiltration.
Thousands of shadows burst out from the Cloud Summit formation like arrows released from a bow, moving at high speed, so fast that under the illumination of flares, evolvers below six-star could only see faint shadows.
Occasionally, there would be flashes of light.
Evolvers were not unfamiliar with this light; it was the cold gleam reflecting off weapons.
Some defenders of the Holy City noticed them and shouted, but it did not attract enough attention.
The main reason was that although there were many shadows, there were too few to pose a threat to the city, and they didn't bring any siege equipment.
Moreover, the situation on the walls was still changing; although those firearms were firing frequently and causing significant damage, with the remaining guards and reserve forces arriving, the situation stabilized, and the control of siege equipment began to return.
Everyone was already counter-attacking; this number of people was not enough to cause any trouble against the siege equipment.
