Almost at the same time, the defenders of Cloud Summit and the eighty thousand warriors outside, including the posthumous children, received orders to prepare for battle.
Many people didn’t know what to do; they only knew that a fight was coming.
The existence of the Merit Medal provided everyone with convenient instant communication, and orders were relayed through this system, centered around Cloud Summit Villa, mobilizing over two hundred fifty thousand warriors.
In fact, there was a misunderstanding here.
Ye Zhongming's purpose was simply to test the power of the new Soul Artifact he made from ninth-level materials, and to mobilize these warriors under his command was merely to create an opportunity for him to enter and exit.
In other words, everyone else was just a diversion except for him.
However, now everyone was recalling Ye Zhongming's speech after his return to Cloud Summit, waiting for him to lead them in a counterattack.
So after all the orders were given, these warriors felt that the counterattack was about to begin. Even some core members responsible for command thought that although the boss hadn’t explicitly stated it, a great battle was inevitable.
Under these circumstances, Ye Zhongming’s weapon testing journey went out of control this time.
The first shot was fired by the guards on the city wall.
A pair of Cloud Summit warriors noticed the mutated life forms outside the city moving towards the city wall and began their attack with the magic crystal cannon. Like a signal, the other defenders on the wall immediately unleashed their skills at the mutated life forms below.
The posthumous children defending the wall saw this and, although unable to attack from such a distance, threw down rocks, wooden materials, and discarded car parts they had accumulated on the wall over the past few days, smashing them onto those disgusting creatures.
Almost instantly, everyone began to take action, leaving the commander on the wall momentarily stunned. However, seeing the good results and being in a complete advantage, neither the high-ups of Cloud Summit nor the posthumous children issued orders to stop, giving these warriors an incorrect signal.
This was the long-awaited counterattack!
The fierce momentum erupting from the wall excited the teams outside. Due to the sheer number of people and the communication difficulties with the walkie-talkies, as well as hearing that the evolvers from Ying City involved in the defense had been directly absorbed into the Cloud Summit warriors, others from Ying City felt restless. Everyone had fought for Cloud Summit Villa, so why did they suddenly get to soar to higher ranks and become the “regular army”? Just because of proximity?
These people’s mentalities changed, and they became anxious. Now seeing the battle erupt, they were all extremely excited, and before receiving specific orders, some began to attack the periphery of the mutated life forms.
This was like igniting an armory; it became uncontrollable. Under the chain reaction, Little Tiger, Tong Hu, and others noticed something was off, and it was too late to stop it. Just moments later, they were swept into the battle, clashing with zombies and mutated plants and animals.
As for the fifty thousand posthumous child warriors outside, who did not even share a common language, they were even more confused about the situation. The translators from Cloud Summit were completely ineffective. These braves fighting for a new life launched a collective charge!
This was the battle style of the posthumous children, inseparable from their long years of fighting monsters. They had developed the habit that “the brave win when paths cross,” as the monsters would show them no mercy; both sides saw each other as food, and it was a fight to the death with no talk of surrender or compromise.
If only the original Cloud Summit warriors had fought this battle, such accidents would never have occurred. Xia Lei, Mo Ye, and Little Tiger, who came from special forces, brought militarized management into the Cloud Summit team, ensuring that warriors would strictly follow orders and never act recklessly.
