Chapter 291

Watching his departing back, Yang Zhan walked over and said arrogantly: "Captain, leave that puppet general to me. I can solve it easily by myself."

Yang Zhan cracked his fingers, making a series of bone-cracking sounds, his eyes revealing a gaze full of fighting spirit.

Long Xuan turned his head to look at him, revealing a look of joy: "You've recovered your realm?"

When he first entered the Heavenly Island, he didn't let Yang Zhan collect spiritual herbs everywhere, but instead gave the Ice-Fire Polar Pill to him at the first opportunity, telling him to immediately find a hidden place to recover his realm.

Long Xuan had always been cautious. Entering such a dangerous place, how could he not create a Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator as his trump card?

He had already planned this when he was refining the Ice-Fire Polar Pill.

When Yang Zhan saw the Ice-Fire Polar Pill, he almost cried with joy. He didn't have time to ask how Long Xuan refined this Ice-Fire Polar Pill, and holding this Ice-Fire Polar Pill in both hands, he ran far away.

Even if he asked, it wouldn't matter. Long Xuan had already thought of an excuse in his heart: if asked, say it was refined by his master and mistress, and then transmitted over through the Suo Gu. There was the Honesty Gu to testify.

It was just that he didn't expect Yang Zhan to recover his realm so quickly, and he happened to catch up on the eve of the city attack. In this way, his grasp of dealing with that puppet general was even greater.

No! It was that that puppet general was already completely not worth worrying about for him. Even Yang Zhan alone could easily clean it up.

However, after Long Xuan was excited at this moment, he quickly shook his head and said: "You don't need to take action yet. You are my biggest trump card now. Using this trump card on a puppet is a bit of a waste."

"I need to use you to deal with a bigger crisis. It's still too early for you to take action."

"When fighting the puppet general, just use the power of the Essence Refining peak. Even if you use power exceeding the Essence Refining peak, don't let anyone notice it."

"If others know that there is a Spirit Sea stage expert in our team, then we will definitely become the target of public criticism. At that time, it will be difficult for us to snatch any treasures."

Yang Zhan nodded solemnly. He had just recovered the realm of the Spirit Sea peak and was a bit carried away, unable to wait to show off the power he hadn't used for so many years. Having not used the Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator realm to take action for so many years, his body had long since rusted.

Now hearing Long Xuan clarify the pros and cons, he could only suppress the restlessness in his heart.

"Good, then I will temporarily suppress my realm to the Essence Refining peak. However, I think with your and Di Xin's strength, if another Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator doesn't appear on the island, I won't have a chance to take action at all."

Yang Zhan shook his head with a bitter smile. Another Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator appearing on the island? How could this be possible?

Originally, there were three pseudo-Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators who could board the island, but those three hadn't even had time to show off their power on the island before they were killed in advance by this sinister captain.

Their deaths were simply miserable.

One hour later.

Under the command of the two alliance leaders, Cai Shao and the Nine Prince, square formations were formed under the city wall, with everyone holding a spirit shield in their hands.

The Gu cultivator group didn't wear heavy iron armor, so they could only use spirit shields to defend against the crossbow attacks on the city wall.

The Gu cultivators who came here clearly had made investigations beforehand, knowing that attacking the Divine Mechanism City required spirit shields, so everyone was prepared.

Long Xuan naturally didn't know that he needed to prepare spirit shields, but fortunately, he had the little rich woman Di Xin beside him.

Not to mention taking out one hundred spirit shields, she could easily take out thousands of spirit shields. After all, she was the one who had even looted the national treasury.

Long Xuan shamelessly borrowed a pile of siege equipment from her with ease.

For example, crossbows, armor, scaling ladders... The gravity under the city wall was astonishing, and flying was forbidden. If they wanted to climb the city wall, they truly needed to borrow primitive equipment like scaling ladders.

However, this kind of equipment might not necessarily be used by them. After all, they were responsible for dealing with the puppet generals, standing at the very back of the square formation, and could borrow the scaling ladders of the people in front to climb the city wall when the time came.

At this time, sounds of war came from the West City, North City, and South City. The other three alliance leaders were already ordering the city attack.

Cai Shao and the Nine Prince finally didn't hesitate anymore and also began to order the city attack. Twenty thousand Gu cultivators stood in square formations, holding spirit shields, and killed their way toward the east city wall in a mighty manner.

After entering the range of the crossbows, the puppet archers on the city wall shot down one rain of arrows after another, sprinkling them toward the Gu cultivator army under the city wall.

But the Gu cultivator army had long been prepared, with everyone holding a spirit shield. The arrows basically all shot onto the spirit shields, and the casualties among the Gu cultivators were not many.

Only one unlucky guy was shot in the toe, screamed, lowered his head, and was then shot in the head by an arrow, losing his life on the spot.

The rain of arrows was clearly just an appetizer. Soon, one circular bright light after another flashed on the city wall, the light getting brighter and brighter, simply dazzling.

"This is the Divine Mechanism Cannon! Maintain the formation and don't get chaotic! No one is allowed to run around!"

"The attack of this thing is indiscriminate coverage; there's no gap to dodge. Everyone hold your shields and resist hard!"

"If everyone runs around everywhere, more people will die!"

Cai Shao shouted in the crowd. The deafening roar soon covered his voice, and one white beam of light after another shot down from the city wall, densely covering the ground indiscriminately.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Dense beams of light blasted into the Gu cultivator army, emitting one deafening roar after another.

All Gu cultivators listened to Cai Shao's advice, holding their shields to resist the incoming beams of light.

Under their frantic injection of spiritual power, the spirit shields formed a large energy barrier, and the barriers of all the spirit shields were spliced together, protecting all the Gu cultivators inside without any gaps.

Just like this, most of the beams of light were resisted by the Gu cultivators gritting their teeth, but some places were still broken through by the beams of light, blasting people into a mess, with screams everywhere.

Don't forget that weapons like cannons are large-scale attacks. As long as one person fails to resist the incoming cannonball, it will implicate the teammates beside them and be blasted to death as well.

The shelling was clearly far from just one round. The cannonballs on the city wall were like they didn't cost money, frantically blasting toward the crowd below.

The city-defending equipment of the Divine Mechanism City was clearly far more than just the Divine Mechanism Cannon. Soon, huge crossbow arrows shot from the city, chaotic stones flew, and even a patch of bird-shaped puppets that could fly flew out.

Clearly, the gravity outside the city wall was huge, yet this group of bird-like puppets could play dirty and fly in the air, occupying air superiority.

This group of air forces flew to the top of the Gu cultivator army, throwing down countless fire oil and explosives, making the Gu cultivators below a sea of fire and screams, aggravating the casualties of the Gu cultivators below.

Seeing that this group of bird-shaped puppets had already flown over, Long Xuan cast a Blazing Flame Palm, instantly clearing the flying bird-shaped puppets.

Large patches of bird-shaped puppets that had already been burned black fell to the ground, losing their ability to move.

Just when Long Xuan was about to pick them up and take the opportunity to study puppet arts, all the bird-shaped puppets on the ground instantly disappeared into thin air.

Like the ten or so Gu cultivators he had killed before, these bird-shaped puppets also disappeared into thin air right under his nose.

Long Xuan was stunned and could only give up the idea of stealing puppet arts.

The movement speed of Gu cultivators was still very fast. After surviving these few rounds of attacks, the massive number of Gu cultivators finally held on until they reached the city wall.

At such a close distance, the Divine Mechanism Cannon, which was a huge threat to them, could no longer attack them. The Gu cultivators under the city wall began to release countless fireballs, lightning, wind blades, ice blades... and launched a counter-shooting against the puppet army on the city wall.

At the same time, large patches of Gu worms were released, crawling onto the city wall in groups.

After large numbers of Gu worms crawled onto the city wall, they frantically pounced on the nearest puppets, and the city wall was instantly in chaos.

Large patches of puppets were knocked off the city wall, and not long after falling under the city wall, they disappeared into thin air.

The Gu cultivator army didn't climb the city wall at the first opportunity, but instead constantly used various long-range attacks to consume the puppets on the city wall.

This was also an idea Cai Shao came up with.

Puppets are divided into many models. There are blade puppets holding blades, bow puppets holding bows, and various beast puppets. There are countless models.

Like puppets holding axes or blades, as well as beast puppets, they are all melee puppets and have no way to attack the Gu cultivators under the city wall.

The only ones who can attack the Gu cultivators under the city wall are puppets that can release long-range attacks, such as bow puppets holding bows, and flame puppets that can spray fire.

So if both sides consume long-range, the puppets in the city cannot exert their numerical advantage, and most melee puppets can only stand there.

But if all Gu cultivators rush into the city in one go, they will face puppets of all models.

The number of the puppet army is far greater than the Gu cultivator army, and engaging in a melee with puppets of all models in the city is definitely not a wise choice.

So the idea Cai Shao came up with was not to attack into the city first, but to consume long-range under the city wall first.

Every Gu cultivator has long-range attack ability, while puppets with long-range attack ability are less than half.

This way of fighting is completely advantageous to the Gu cultivator side, and everyone recognized this proposal.

The Gu cultivator army prioritized attacking the bow puppets and other puppets with long-range attack ability standing on the city wall, as well as various city-defending equipment.

In terms of long-range consumption, the Gu cultivator army clearly had a huge advantage. Not long after, the firepower on the city wall became smaller and smaller, and the puppets standing on the city wall became fewer and fewer.

Until there were not many puppets showing their heads on the city wall, the massive number of Gu cultivators under the city wall began to pull out scaling ladders from their storage bags and quickly climbed toward the city wall!

"Kill! There are not many puppets left in the city!"

"Everyone rush into the city for me! As long as we kill all the puppets in the city, the massive amount of treasures in the city will all be ours!"

The two alliance leaders roared, taking the lead in charging, and were the first to climb up the scaling ladders, jumping into a group of puppets holding sharp axes.

The two alliance leaders took the lead in charging, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Gu cultivators below, and the Gu cultivators below frantically climbed toward the city wall!

Not long after, the city wall was already crowded with Gu cultivators, and patches of puppets were knocked off the other side of the city wall.

The east city wall was considered the first to be broken. This section of the city wall fell, immediately triggering a chain reaction, and the other three city walls were also broken by the other three alliance leaders, and massive numbers of Gu cultivators surged onto the city walls on all sides.

But the puppets on the city wall were solved, but there were still massive numbers of melee-type puppets in the city. The puppet army in the city was densely packed, and the number was still far greater than the Gu cultivator army.

This war was far from over.
