As Wen Yu and his group slowly approached the city wall, the magnificent structure gradually revealed its full form.
Its height was beyond Wen Yu's estimation; he could only see that at the mid-section of the wall, a wisp of cloud was forming. The wall was covered in mottled scars and bloodstains, with many areas displaying uneven colors.
That was due to repairs made later!
"This wall has protected our clansmen for a full 27 years. Unfortunately, no matter how grand a structure is, it cannot withstand the aftermath of battles between tenth-level professionals and tenth-level demonic clans. We have made many efforts to repair it, but it has been in vain; it is on the verge of collapse! Maybe today, maybe a month from now. Who knows?"
Valshi's words, filled with melancholy, instantly struck a chord with Wen Yu.
Ordinary officers would never share such things with foot soldiers, and these were certainly matters that all soldiers were aware of. Even Wen Yu, currently in the role of cannon fodder, was no exception!
Unless...
This person was their "guide" for the trial!
"Valshi has a problem, right?"
Jiang Wentao's whispered words reached Wen Yu's ears, but the volume was a bit too loud, enough for Valshi not far in front to hear.
However, Valshi showed no reaction.
"There is a problem."
Wen Yu replied emphatically.
"Let's go, up the wall. I will designate your combat zones!"
When they reached the base of the wall, guided by Valshi, everyone stood on a massive platform.
Valshi pressed several buttons directly on the platform, and a loud mechanical rumble filled the air as the enormous platform shot upwards.
"Let me briefly introduce the current combat situation."
"Currently, our Silver Moon Clan is facing a serious problem of insufficient manpower, and the demonic clan's offensive is becoming increasingly fierce! Therefore, you need to hold your positions in your designated zones for three days to earn a brief rest."
"The combat zones I have assigned to you mostly consist of first-tier and second-tier demonic creatures, with only a small portion being third-tier demonic creatures. Moreover, at the center of the combat zone, there is an Exchange Stone Pillar that will guarantee your supplies. Remember, all your equipment, food, and even drinking water must be purchased through the Exchange Stone Pillar. Once I send you up, there will be no so-called logistical support!"
"Do you understand?"
"Understood."
A scattered chorus of voices responded. Upon hearing Valshi's words, everyone began to discuss among themselves.
"Isn't this just handing us points? We have the advantage of the city wall; as long as we kill some first-tier monsters, won't our strength increase rapidly?"
"Right! With some high-level experts holding the front, we can just pick up the scraps behind them!"
"This treasure land is really treating us well, bringing us warmth!"
Hearing the laughter from behind, Wen Yu snorted in disdain.
These people likely had no understanding of what demonic creatures truly were; they really thought that the so-called demonic creatures were merely fabricated by the treasure land to serve as easy targets for points.
Demonic creatures certainly offered no warmth!
"Later, you all follow me; we need to stick together and not get separated, understand?"
Wen Yu said to Sun Ruixing, Sun Aotian, and Jiang Wentao behind him.
"This trial will not be easy."
Upon hearing Wen Yu's serious words, Jiang Wentao silently nodded.
"By the way, Old Sun, call the knight over, and bring Chu Ziling as well."
Wen Yu thought for a moment and decided to pull over the two strong individuals, William and Chu Ziling.
Having experienced the demonic disaster in his previous life, Wen Yu understood the situation they were about to face!
This would be an extremely challenging war, and war was not a place for individual heroism!
At least, with Wen Yu's current strength, he couldn't afford to act that way!
...
"We've arrived."
As the platform slowly slowed down, Wen Yu and the others came to a stop at least 500 meters above the ground.
