"Today I'm going out and will be back tomorrow, so just one chapter for now. I'll make up for it when I return, and there will be another explosion of chapters around mid-month~~"
Looking at the casualty report in his hand, Ye Zhongming couldn't feel any joy.
This time, the posthumous children and Cloud Summit's proactive attack indeed gained some advantages. From the casualty comparison in this report, it was clear that the losses of the Temple of Dawn were much greater than those of the posthumous children.
However, in terms of overall strength, this comparison could only be seen as a small gain, not a big deal. The posthumous children were still at a disadvantage, while the Temple of Dawn remained advanced and powerful.
Through this battle, Ye Zhongming realized that most of his previous preparations were focused on city defenses and that ninth level holy father, while somewhat neglecting or being underprepared for the other experts in the Temple of Dawn besides the holy father.
If the holy maiden teamed up with Yangos and charged the city walls alongside the three major figures of the Temple of Dawn, five eighth-level individuals might just overwhelm the posthumous children.
This doesn't even consider the possibility that the Temple of Dawn might have other eighth-level fighters. If they managed to have a Guardian of the Sacred Pool or another eighth-level battle pet, the city's defenses would really be at risk.
What should be done?
This question began to trouble Ye Zhongming, as well as several king zun.
They also realized the lack of high-level combat power. Previously, they had underestimated the holy maiden; this woman was indeed quite difficult to deal with, and one person couldn't handle her.
"When do you think they will attack the city?"
Ye Zhongming asked the king zuns and the core members of Cloud Summit, including Xia Lei, who were gathered around for a meal.
"Based on today's situation, they will probably continue to test their long-range attacks tomorrow. If that proves ineffective again, they might not rush to attack the city but will prepare thoroughly before launching a full-scale assault," King Ling Kun sipped his bowl of eight-treasure porridge, genuinely enjoying this earthly food.
"I agree with King Ling Kun's thoughts, but harassment will definitely continue. They will try every possible way to figure out what that shield is, to know themselves and their enemy. So, it’s likely that our air force and anti-aircraft forces will be busy," Xia Lei elegantly analyzed while eating with her chopsticks.
The Heavenly Shield had greatly shocked the Temple of Dawn, and they would surely try to figure out what it was. There was indeed a significant possibility that, as Xia Lei said, they would continue to test their attacks.
Additionally, it wasn't just the air forces; some of their siege equipment might also come to test the defenses. Even if there were no results, consuming arrows and crossbow bolts on the city walls would still be beneficial.
"If we are talking about a full-scale attack, it would probably take at least five days of falling sand. After all, manufacturing and assembling siege equipment, training troops, and perfecting battle plans all take time," King Niao added. "Especially since we gave them a lesson this time, they will definitely be cautious, considering the Temple of Dawn’s style."
Ye Zhongming agreed with the analysis of several people. He also felt that the Temple of Dawn, after this contact battle, would not act recklessly.
"What are your thoughts?" Mo Ye asked from the side, aware that Ye Zhongming wouldn't ask this question for no reason.
"I just think that perhaps we should take advantage of this gap to do something," Ye Zhongming replied, his fingers tapping on the table, lost in thought.
