"I'm sorry, this chapter is late~~ Thank you all for your patience these past few days, thank you!"
This time, the two core battle teams from the villa that accompanied Ye Zhongming to Cloud Port each had two weapons.
One was their usual weapon, and the other was a Magic Crystal Long Spear.
To meet this demand, Le Da Yuan and his assistant, along with Ye Zhongming, had been busy for quite a while, gathering most of the stock from Cloud Summit Villa.
The defense of the northern city wall had not yet reached a point where the monsters' attack intensity forced Cloud Summit Villa to reveal their trump cards.
Ye Zhongming felt at ease coming here, partly because his subordinates had not yet used any magic crystal weapons.
It's worth noting that over there, they not only had Magic Crystal Long Spears but also the sky breaking series magic crystal cannons!
If possible, Ye Zhongming didn't want to expose such weapons too early, but now he couldn't care about that anymore.
"Ye, Boss Ye, what are you planning to do?"
Meng Xiangjiang saw over fifty people from Cloud Summit suddenly pull out strange and unfamiliar firearms, and he instinctively felt a sense of danger, directly asking a question.
There was no way around it; there were too many lunatics in the apocalypse, and he couldn't be sure if the people from Cloud Summit were really here to help him or to seek revenge, especially since they had just been fighting to the death in the banquet hall.
"Helping you deal with this big guy," Ye Zhongming said with a faint smile, but Meng Xiangjiang could see the coldness in the young man's eyes.
"That... going out of the city would be too dangerous."
After confirming the intentions of the people from Cloud Summit, Meng Xiangjiang genuinely reminded them.
Countless sea beast monsters were attacking the city, and humans were under immense pressure; being able to hold the city wall and the city gate was already a hard-fought result. But according to Ye Zhongming, helping him deal with the sea giant would mean charging out of the city! With a corps of over ten thousand members, even the elegant knight corps didn't dare to go out—how could a small group of no more than sixty dare to do so?
They would likely be overwhelmed in an instant.
Ye Zhongming casually waved his hand, "Who said we were going down?"
As he spoke, he ignored the confused Meng Xiangjiang, as if speaking to himself.
"We just need to wait for it to come closer!"
Meng Xiangjiang's legs felt weak upon hearing that.
Why does the heavenly phenomenon war department, with such a strong team, conduct long-range attacks? Isn't it because they fear that once the sea giant gets close to the city wall, its massive body and the power of its weapons could directly destroy the human defenses? Let it come closer? No matter how strong your attacks are, you can't kill it in an instant, while the sea giant only needs a few seconds to collapse the city wall.
If that happens, will there be any escape for everyone?
Has this young man lost his mind?
Given Meng Xiangjiang's character, he was about to scold him, but then he realized that the young man wasn’t afraid of him. However, if Ye Zhongming were to act recklessly, the outcome wouldn't be good.
"What good plan do you have?" Ye Zhongming suddenly countered, leaving Meng Xiangjiang stammering and unable to provide a proper answer.
In that moment, Meng Xiangjiang indeed had the thought of leading everyone to charge down the city wall and engage the sea giant in hand-to-hand combat, because doing nothing would also lead to death.
But with Ye Zhongming's arrival, and his seemingly foolish method of solving the problem, even if Meng Xiangjiang believed he was bragging, his instinct for survival and fear compelled him to convince himself to believe those words.
In reality, Ye Zhongming's expression and the actions of those from Cloud Summit gave the despairing Meng Xiangjiang a glimmer of hope.
Although this hope was so faint it was almost invisible.
