Of course, Xuan Ye's guess was correct. Yun Lizi, the lord of Sheri City, led his people out of the city to check. Not long after, they met Jin Ao and others. Yun Lizi's cultivation was indeed the Golden Elixir Perfection.
After killing Jin Ao and others, Yun Lizi was sure that what Xing Nian said was true, and quickly returned to the city to prepare.
Although shocked and angry, Xuan Ye did not act without authorization and immediately reported the matter to the former army coach Wu Mian.
Wu Mian was one of the three semi-god realm masters in the army. After receiving the report, he knew that his side's intentions were exposed, so he ordered the front army to accelerate the advance, and informed the middle and rear troops that they must reach Sheri in the shortest possible time. Under the city.
The three armies received the order and moved forward at full speed. The front army was the first to attack, but at this time the city defense formation had already been opened.
The millions of troops did not disperse, but fought to ten miles outside the city and then stopped moving forward.
The vast desert is endless, and the lonely city is empty on all sides.
In the vast desert, Sheri City stood abruptly, and a ten-mile-long vacuum zone appeared between it and the army of darkness. The air in this interval seemed to be stagnant, and even the endless yellow sand was frightened by the murderous aura and stopped filling the sky. Flying.
Leaning slightly, hundreds of warships emerged from the dark army and lined up in a row. Before the defenders could react, tens of thousands of artillery fire fired, and colorful bullets exploded on the defensive light curtain. It made a shocking sound.
"Quickly send an order to all factions to reinforce Ximen immediately!" Yun Lizi was frightened and ordered all factions to rush to help.
Although Ximen is a key defense target, there are only hundreds of thousands of city guards. Add in the troops from other forces, and the number can reach over a million. At this time, those who launched the attack were only the outpost troops, and there was no telling how many of the follow-up troops there were.
The dark army is ten miles away. Although the spiritual light cannon in the city can attack it, the effect is limited. However, if it hits the magic weapon-class battleship, it can't even hurt a hair.
After being violently attacked, the city guards were at a loss.
But the dark army came well-prepared. The battleships were all equipped with advanced aura cannons. Every time aura bombs exploded, the defensive light curtain was flashing. Thousands of aura bombs fell together. The pressure can be imagined.
"Send an order to Manager You to connect the energy bank with the West City Formation!" Half an hour later, Yun Lizi was sweating and had to issue the above order.
Under the long and fierce bombardment of the city's defense formation in the West City, the light curtain quickly dimmed, and the defense was greatly reduced. The residual power of the spiritual light cannon began to penetrate the light curtain and invade the city, causing many casualties.
The manager of the City Lord's Mansion quickly connected to the energy bank, the West City protective light curtain flashed again, and the defense suddenly increased.
But at the same time, the bombardment of the army outside the city also stopped abruptly, and the warships quickly retreated into the background.
Before the city guards could take a breath, people were horrified to discover that densely packed and huge trebuchets had been set up ten miles away!
It turned out that during the half hour of the bombardment, the army at the rear did not sit idle. Instead, they urgently set up trebuchets and prepared for the second wave of attacks.
The trebuchet was made of hardwood and fine iron, more than a hundred feet high and dozens of feet wide, making it extremely huge. The bag cloth used for throwing stones is made of the skins of fifth-level high-level monsters. What is thrown out of the bag cloth is not a huge boulder, but a thunder and fire stone.
The Thunder Fire Stone is a natural stone used to ignite fire. After being transformed by cultivators, it is soaked in saltpeter for a hundred days. Once such a Thunder Fire Stone encounters an impact, it will explode violently, and its lethality is extremely terrifying.
Each trebuchet is controlled by sixteen cultivators, each performing their own duties and cooperating with each other to throw the huge thunder and fire stones that have been ignited in advance into Sheri City from ten miles away.
The thunder flint hit the protective light curtain and exploded violently. Its power was no less powerful than the advanced spiritual light cannon.
The most important thing is that the residual power of the explosion of the Thunder Fire Stone can break through the defensive light curtain and cause huge damage to the city guards.
In addition, behind the trebuchet, there are a large number of giant crossbows with guns.
This kind of machine crossbow uses a spear as an arrow and is designed to break through city walls. It is extremely powerful and lethal. It is a sharp weapon for attacking cities and fortresses.
"Reporting to the city lord, the east and north gates were severely bombarded. They requested to connect the energy reservoir!" Amid the roaring explosions, the messenger reported loudly.
"How many attackers are there?" Yun Lizi said with a serious face.
"Three, more than three million!" the ordering soldier said in a trembling voice.
"What? More than three million! Did you see it with your own eyes?" Yun Lizi was shocked. What shocked him was not the number of people, but the strategy.
Originally, the west gate was the focus of the opponent's attack. Unexpectedly, the opponent changed their strategy and attacked the east and north gates instead of the near. This was beyond his expectation.
"Yes, it was reported by the general manager of the two cities!" Shocked by the coercion emanating from Yun Lizi, the messenger couldn't stand upright.
"Explore again!" Yun Lizi said sharply.
"Yes!" The messenger hurriedly accepted the order and left as if he had received an amnesty.
The matter started in a hurry, and it was impossible to take care of all aspects in such a short period of time. Moreover, the east gate has been breached before, and the formation has just been repaired and has not yet been effectively tested. Now that it has encountered such a fierce bombardment, its condition is worrying.
But it is too early to connect the energy bank at this time, because this is only the first wave of attacks.
The energy bank's spiritual vein storage is limited. It's okay to connect one area. But to connect three areas at the same time, the consumption is too huge. He must consider everything.
Zhou Yang, Tu Yuan and others were also on the west wall. They had to avoid the power of the explosion passing through the formation, but that was all. Nothing else could help.
Although there were many enemies, they stopped ten miles away, and no masters showed up. They just used trebuchets and crossbows to bombard the city wall.
The same is true for the east and north gates.
In such a battle, the battle between offense and defense is attrition.
In fact, behind the war, the top leaders of both sides were measuring each other's strength, especially the Dark Continent side.
The commanders of the front, middle and rear armies are all demigods. These three people are scanning Sheri City with their powerful spiritual consciousness, hoping to find the hidden master.
General Hong, thousands of miles away, was doing the same thing. He wanted to confirm the highest combat power in the city.
Wu Mian's figure was shrouded in a layer of mist, and in his consciousness appeared his former opponent, the big devil who sat in Sheri City.
In the previous battle, there was no winner between the two, but that was under the premise that the big devil didn't use corpse puppets. Of course, Wu Mian also didn't reveal his trump card, because it wasn't a life-and-death showdown yet.
After the original war, Wu Mian sent spies to make inquiries, and the news he got was that the only one with the highest cultivation level in Sheri City was the big devil.
However, Wu Mian still didn't believe that in the giant city of Shooting the Sun, which had millions of foundations, there was only one extremely powerful person, the Great Demon. Logically speaking, there should be a god-level master sitting in charge.
However, information obtained from various sources shows that he is indeed the only one.
