CHAPTER TEXT:
Counterattack?
Ayang and Young Master Yun were a bit confused upon hearing this. They were currently in a defensive phase and were utterly powerless to counterattack. To put it bluntly, it would be impressive if they could hold their ground, let alone mount a counterattack.
If all the people from the two cities were to leave, they would likely just create a splash before being submerged by the outside beastman army.
Seeing the expressions of several commanders, Xia Lei smiled and said, "Wait a moment, Cloud Summit will send twenty main battle teams over to support, along with the battle beast legion, air force, and all the gene warriors. They are being dispatched from various battle zones and will only stay here for a maximum of twenty-four hours. After that, they must return; otherwise, things will get chaotic back on Earth."
"So, whether we can achieve our set objectives depends on this one battle!"
Xia Lei's words excited several people.
Twenty main battle teams represented nearly the entirety of the core team. After expanding their numbers, combined with the battle beast legion and air force, their combat power would easily exceed ten million. However, they still had no idea how many gene warriors there actually were, as Sister Hong would surprise them every so often.
If that were the case, then indeed, a counterattack was possible.
"Everyone remember, we only have one chance, and before we can counterattack, we need to endure this upcoming assault. Once the beastmen retreat, the main force will appear through the portal and immediately begin the counterattack. So, there’s still a hurdle ahead of us. Let's do our best."
Mo Ye clapped his hands to encourage everyone.
In fact, there was no need for her to say it; everyone already knew dawn was just around the corner. After saying their goodbyes, they enthusiastically returned to set up defenses.
Jinguo City and Zhengguo City, being twin cities, had a not-so-wide area between them. While access was clear from both ends, it would be a grave mistake to consider this area a shortcut for attacking the two cities.
Although there were some resource passages as well as essential systems for the cities, this area was also a trap. When the beastmen first attacked here, they fell victim to the overwhelming number of traps and hidden weapons, resulting in the annihilation of an entire battalion of over thirty thousand men.
Since then, the people of Titan Secret Realm had turned a blind eye to this area.
However, this long-neglected place, which had only seen the occasional corpse or flesh drop, was beginning to undergo a slow transformation.
The ground, which should have been brown soil, trembled slightly. After a moment, some dark metal emerged, and then several protrusions appeared, the purpose of which was unclear.
An anticipated attack on the two cities was on its way.
With each attack, the outside siege forces had their focus. They would select one city as their main target and choose one of three sides as the primary battlefield.
The selected side would suffer heavy losses among its defending troops.
This time, they chose the eastern side of Jinguo City, which was the defensive zone of the Copper Pot and Xiaoli's teams.
Within the city, there were three sides that needed defending, usually with two battle teams responsible for one side, while the remaining four battle teams had three in reserve and one resting.
This situation would rotate daily.
"Old rival," Copper Pot said, standing on the city wall with a purple-grade staff, gazing down at a team arranging below.
Copper Pot was now a nine-star.
Xia Lei had given him a vial of potion left by Ye Zhongming as a reward for his dedication to Cloud Summit over the years, recognizing his loyalty.
After becoming a nine-star, Copper Pot's personality had calmed down considerably, although his combat style had not changed at all.
Xiaoli glanced down and noticed the team below didn’t look too good.
This team was not just recognized by Copper Pot; Xiaoli recognized them too. They were the prince's personal guard from the largest faction, numbering as many as three hundred thousand. The prince was a ninth-level lifeform, and his battle beast was a top-tier creature that resembled a tiger but wasn't quite a tiger and resembled a lion but wasn’t quite a lion either.
