"We are also ready."
Liu Zhenghong's order was transmitted to the area she was responsible for and to the warships above it just seconds after the dragon race patriarch's general assault command was issued.
She was waiting for an opportunity. In Ye Zhongming's plan, the real general assault wasn't the full-force attack of the Rebel Dragon Race, but rather the command that Liu Zhenghong was about to issue. When she said to attack, that would truly mark the start of the siege battle for Divine Artisan City.
This also meant that, perhaps within a certain timeframe, the outcome would be decided.
It was never easy to capture a grand city like Divine Artisan City, filled with high morale, regardless of the era—whether in ancient times or the technological era. After all, on the aspect of combat strength, neither side had an obvious advantage.
But Ye Zhongming knew he couldn't afford to wait.
This war was too eye-catching, so much so that... other forces might intervene at any moment.
And the forces capable of intervening were ones Ye Zhongming couldn't take into account while embroiled in the war, no, he simply didn't have the strength to deal with them.
In other words, if a third party came in to stir trouble, even if it was not a situation where both sides would be consumed, but merely to make them pause, it would be a disaster for Ye Zhongming and his allies standing beside him.
For the Tarros Red Dwarf, though, the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages.
Once there was room for maneuvering, even a slight advantage in time would be magnified infinitely by those dwarfs until it turned into a winning momentum.
There was no way around it; this was the disparity in their foundational strength.
Therefore, Ye Zhongming had to determine the outcome in as short a time as possible. Even if he couldn't completely annihilate the dwarfs, he needed to breach Divine Artisan City and drag the battle into urban warfare!
Only in this way could he make the superpowers who wanted to intervene feel apprehensive, hesitating and missing out on fleeting opportunities. After all, war is not something that can simply be started at will; preparations are necessary, even in the technological era, it still requires some time.
This time was Ye Zhongming's opportunity, his only opportunity.
Once the layer where Divine Eye was located no longer emitted a green glow, Divine Artisan City no longer seemed so mysterious in the eyes of the attacking forces.
They didn't understand what those metal bars or the sudden large iron lumps were for, but at least they could see many situations within the city. The attack routes were clear, and compared to their plans, the target locations were also specifically defined.
This feeling kept the siege troops from panicking, especially the commanders, whose confidence didn't wane despite the dragon figures hanging on the walls.
At this point, confidence didn't matter; it came down to fighting until either the enemy was wiped out or they were.
When the Rebel Dragon Race truly went all out, the terror they unleashed couldn't be described in words.
After all, their peak experts were numerous and powerful.
When these giant dragons unleashed all their abilities, the force they generated was enough to devastate the world.
From all directions, dragons of various elemental types launched their attacks.
Many live-streaming devices, even from a distance, failed instantaneously at that moment.
The energy storm was too chaotic, turning this area into a forbidden zone for life.
Although the live stream paused temporarily, many lives were watching from afar, or using special means aboard ships outside the Survivor Fortress.
At that moment, they all felt the entire fortress shake.
Yes, this was indeed an artificial fortress, but that was just a habitual term; in reality, it was an artificial planet—planet!
A planet larger than Earth!
To cause such a celestial body to tremble, even slightly, was enough to terrify anyone.
At that moment, many did not understand what this represented, but soon, the remarks of some big shots began to circulate.
