Chapter 859: The Unyielding Defense
September 25, 2017
In the vast plains of the Outland City, the third wave of monster troops continued to pour out from the four mysterious stone gates, marking the official start of the siege.
After five hours, the gates showed no signs of closing, and the stream of low-level soldier dolls kept emerging.
According to Lu HaiKong's estimate, approximately two hundred low-level soldier dolls were passing through the gates every minute, and this rate had been consistent for five hours with no signs of stopping.
Five hours later, the four gates had already produced a combined force of sixty thousand low-level soldier dolls, totaling two hundred and forty thousand when all sides were considered. Even more alarming was the fact that their numbers continued to rise.
At this rate, reaching a million would only take a day or two, and Lu HaiKong was determined to prevent the overwhelming human wave tactic from becoming a reality.
He hadn't been idle during those five hours, and now he had a plan to deal with this situation.
Lu HaiKong didn't want to face the human sea tactic, so he decided to take action to nip it in the bud.
Since the soldier dolls were coming out of the mysterious stone gates, Lu HaiKong's idea was simple: destroy the gates to stop the enemy's emergence.
This task was not difficult for Lu HaiKong, thanks to the accidental acquisition of the legendary beast, the Vermilion Bird. Although it was a copy, its abilities were still formidable. With this beast, Lu HaiKong was confident he could easily destroy the gates.
Without hesitation, Lu HaiKong flew towards the mysterious stone gates, ready to unleash the Vermilion Bird's war form to demolish them.
The Vermilion Bird had two forms: its normal state, which allowed it to fly and possess a certain degree of attack power, and its war form, which significantly increased its attack power. However, its attack power was not exceptionally strong, with a strike force of around 90. So, to ensure a decisive blow, Lu HaiKong activated the Vermilion Bird's war form.
Lu HaiKong couldn't believe that even in its war form, the Vermilion Bird's attack couldn't damage the stone gate.
To unleash the full power of the war form, Lu HaiKong paid a hefty price of two million gold.
The Vermilion Bird was powerful, but its consumption was equally high, and its endurance was not exceptional.
Additionally, Lu HaiKong realized that the stone gates themselves were indestructible, not even by the Vermilion Bird's war form. He now had no choice but to wait for the gates to close on their own.
This waiting game was not easy, and during this time, Lu HaiKong had to deal with the constant stream of tens of thousands of soldier dolls, and potentially more that would continue to emerge.
In a situation where he had no other options, Lu HaiKong decided to bring out his four elite armies to counter the overwhelming numbers.
After the five hours of waiting, Lu HaiKong finally took action, and the battle against the endless stream of soldier dolls began.
Lu HaiKong didn't like this human sea tactic, but he wasn't truly afraid of it.
Lu HaiKong's army was divided into four parts, each guarding one side of the Outland City's walls. Lu HaiKong himself led a force of over ten thousand ordinary data NPC soldiers to defend the front wall. The left wall was entrusted to Wen Chou, the rear to Chen Yi Zhang Liao, and the right to Gao Lan.
Each wall had a force of around twenty thousand data NPC soldiers, and with the help of defensive equipment, guarding the walls was not a challenging task.
However, Lu HaiKong's defense strategy was unique. The primary defenders were not the soldiers standing on the walls; the true defenders were beneath them.
Outside the Outland City's four walls, each side had an elite army: the [Trap] on the front, the [Guard] at the back, the [Bloodbath] on the left, and the [Black Wind] on the right. These four elite armies were the real defenders, not the soldiers on the walls!
Lu HaiKong had no intention of keeping these elite forces hidden, and in a situation where he couldn't avoid the siege, he unleashed them.
As the sun sets over Luoyang, a new chapter in the city's history unfolds. The once-quiet streets now buzz with anticipation as news spreads like wildfire. The people, their eyes sparkling with excitement, await the momentous event that will shake the very foundations of the capital.
In the heart of the city, a certain residence stands tall. It is the home of Li Ru, the brilliant strategist, whose mind is as sharp as the blades he wields. After a long day of meticulous planning, Li Ru takes a moment to gaze at the sky above, his eyes gleaming with determination.
"Let it begin..." he whispers, his voice carrying the weight of the impending storm.
The stage is set for a confrontation that will shape the destiny of the capital and the empire itself. The people, their hearts pounding with anticipation, wait with bated breath for the clash that is to come.
In the shadows of the city, a silent observer watches the unfolding drama with keen interest. This observer, a figure shrouded in mystery, is none other than Shi Daoren, the enigmatic Daoist with a deep understanding of the unseen forces that shape the world.
Shi Daoren, his eyes gleaming with insight, senses the shifting tides of power. He knows that the events about to unfold will be a turning point in the capital's history, a pivotal moment that will echo through the ages.
As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the city, the stage is set for a confrontation that will leave an indelible mark on the annals of Luoyang.
The people, their hearts filled with anticipation, wait with bated breath for the clash that is to come.
