"Enemy attack!" Li Xiang, who had just finished his breakfast and was about to head to the workshop to continue making mechanical creatures, suddenly pointed in the direction of the city wall. He put on his Nightwatcher's black robe and rushed toward the city wall.
The city guards all stood up and pulled out their weapons. Soon, the locust-like mutants climbed the outer walls of the Great Wall of Disaster and rushed toward the top of the city wall like a wave.
Some of the warriors had just taken a bite of their rations and were ready to fight.
There had been a lot of such enemy attacks recently. The disaster army would suddenly launch small-scale attacks regardless of day or night. Usually, they would only last for ten minutes or so before retreating.
When the army dispersed, the charging mutants were like abandoned cannon fodder. They were still charging at the impenetrable city wall and were turned to dust by the ten Origin Form cannons.
Sometimes, there would be three or four such attacks in an hour, making the city guards miserable.
A few mutants quickly jumped up from the top of the city wall. What greeted them was the crossfire of countless Origin Form guns.
Ever since they had the support of Wessex and Scarlet Heavy Industries, Icescar City had been upgraded. The soldiers' equipment had all been upgraded, and their firepower was three times more than before. They were no longer afraid of fighting mutants.
Lori, who was wearing a medical uniform, also held a large caliber hand cannon in her hand. The Origin Form guns were far more powerful than ordinary Origin Form guns. They were like flowing flames, cutting the first few mutants into pieces.
She was almost numb.
When she was on the Seven Continents, it was rare to see a real mutant in a month. It was said that if one could defeat a mutant in a one-on-one battle in university, they would get full marks at the end of the semester.
But on the Great Wall of Disaster, killing mutants was like killing ants. Lori herself couldn't remember how many mutants she had killed.
Although these mutants were all cannon fodder and had the combat power of a Level-1 Magician, their bloodthirsty appearance and fearless fighting style made it possible for a Level-3 Magician to fail miserably if they weren't used to such a bloody battle.
Those who could survive on the Great Wall of Disaster were the elites of the elites.
The mutants at the back didn't stop charging. As soon as the ones at the front died in the crossfire, the ones at the back followed in their footsteps. Relying on this pile of flesh, the firepower net finally couldn't hold on.
More and more xenogeneics used the corpses of their companions to cross the line of fire. The city guards took out their cold weapons and prepared to fight.
At this moment, an earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted from the top of the wall. A heavy axe flew out and chopped towards one of the city guards.
Lori raised her cannon, and the warrior's head flew high into the air. The axe spun in a circle, taking the lives of a few more warriors before returning to the hands of the tall xenogeneic.
It was a fat human. He looked like an inflated balloon. His flesh was rotten, and his head looked like a giant meatball. He was one of the few xenogeneics with a human face.
Lori looked at it in surprise and met the eyes of the fat xenogeneic.
Its eyes … This was a mutated mutant that had its own thoughts!
By the time he realized this, the fat xenogeneic had already crossed the first line of fire and charged into the crowd.
It commanded the other brainless xenogeneics as it strode towards Lori.
A loud bang resounded!
The heavy axe swung and stood on an exquisite arm shield, which burst out with a golden light.
The light of the Origin Form on the arm shield dimmed, then turned into broken light spots and dissipated. As the shield shattered, Mechanical Tea grabbed Lori and pushed her further back.
To be able to force Mechanical Tea back with one blow, this fat xenogeneic was probably a borderline xenogeneic!
"Why is there a borderline xenogeneic among the cannon fodder troops?" Lori was still in shock. If it weren't for Mechanical Tea, she would have been dead.
Borderline xenogeneics were already qualified to evolve into Disaster. Compared to the barren evolution conditions in the seven continents, the chances of successful evolution in the sea of stars were much higher. Generally, among the xenogeneics under Disaster, borderline xenogeneics wouldn't easily climb the wall and become cannon fodder.
Similar exclamations came from the bases nearby.
This time, the attack was over again. Only the remaining xenogeneics were left to wear down the stamina of the city guards.
However, this time, there were many borderline xenogeneics that climbed the wall. They all had elementary intelligence, and the city guards suffered a lot.
Seeing that this borderline xenogeneic was invincible, the third garrison team's base was about to fall into a bitter battle. Suddenly, a dark snake-shaped sword shot out from the side. The fat xenogeneic instinctively lowered its head, but the sword still pierced through its head.
Its eyes were dazed. Its crystal core wasn't in its head, but the excruciating pain made it, who had long lost consciousness, let out a horrifying scream.
The Scarlet-Bladed Snake Blade that dropped from the Snake Stalker was extremely poisonous. Upon closer inspection, the blade was covered with countless human eyes that were opening and closing, causing a terrifying amount of blood to flow out.
The blood mixed into the fat xenogeneic's body and completely disintegrated its indestructible defense. The crystal core that it had secretly hidden also turned into black water and flowed to its feet.
After killing the fat xenogeneic, the pressure on the city guards was greatly reduced. The line of defense retracted and carried out the final cleanup.
At this time, the ground suddenly splashed with sand and stones. A black shadow jumped out from the ground and pounced at Li Xiang like lightning.
Li Xiang's right finger hooked, and the red snake-shaped sword that was stuck in the fat xenogeneic's corpse suddenly flew into the air and collided with the black shadow.
The black shadow fell to the ground and was pinned to the ground by the red snake-shaped sword. It turned out to be a huge strange insect about three meters long. It was shaped like an earthworm, and its body was covered in scales. Its head was a huge scarlet mouth with hundreds of sharp teeth. After being pinned to the ground, it was still alive and kicking. Its vitality was abnormally strong.
"Xenogeneic insect!" Lori's heart skipped a beat. This was a xenogeneic unique to Galaxy. It had an extremely tenacious vitality and a hopeless parasitic ability. Once bitten, countless eggs would spread through the blood vessels and spread throughout the body.
At that time, even if one was lucky enough to survive, they would become a nest for the eggs. When a new xenogeneic insect hatched, they would die without a trace.
Current medical methods didn't have a way to remove the eggs of the xenogeneic insects. Once bitten, one could only wait for death.
Li Xiang walked forward and pulled out the red snake-shaped sword. The Hall of Annihilation shot out a blue beam of light, purifying the xenogeneic on the ground.
This short attack finally came to an end. The soldiers guarding the city were cleaning up the mess. The casualties weren't serious, but this kind of torturous attack was extremely taxing on their willpower.
Just as they were about to eat, just as they were about to rest, just as they finished a day's work … the enemy seemed to have calculated the time and kept launching short attacks. It was disgusting.
Disaster suddenly changed the attack method, and the Great Wall of Disaster was caught off guard. The short attacks over the past few days were even more troublesome than the previous bloody battle.
After cleaning up the mess, Li Xiang, who had received orders, immediately rushed back to Ice Scar Castle for a meeting.
The castle was filled with the night watchers of the Ice Scar City. Everyone gathered together and looked at Commander Rita who was sitting at the head of the table. She looked worried as well, not knowing where to start.
When Li Xiang approached the door, she held his hand as if she had seen her savior, and asked him to give a simple analysis of the recent attacks.
"In the past few days, the Galaxy has been sending out armies of xenogeneics to attack our defense line. The attacks are fierce, but they always stop after a certain point. The longest lasted was no more than twenty minutes. It's just like the harassment and sneak attacks we humans used during war."
Li Xiang organized his thoughts and said calmly, "This isn't unusual.
"There's nothing special about this, but there are so many Xenogeneics that they're not afraid of dying. In the past, the attacks were always launched by the Dominators. Those Disasters don't have any consciousness. They're monsters that only know how to kill. They don't think about tactics."
"In this attack, I saw borderline xenogeneics and xenogeneics at the third guard base."
"Isn't that the most elite combat force in the xenogeneic army? In the past, they were only sent out in a real bloody battle. Are they being used as cannon fodder? "Rita was surprised.
The other Night Watchers agreed. Their base had encountered similar situations, especially the xenogeneics. These creatures were a great threat to humans. Fortunately, the Night Watchers took action, and it didn't lead to a disaster.
The tactical thinking that Li Xiang mentioned also made Rita frown. Looking at it this way, these xenogeneics really did have the taste of tactics.
This kind of fatigue attack was a tactic unique to humans. Anyone who had fought in a war would know, but the Disasters didn't have brains. They couldn't think of such a simple tactic.
If they had brains and even had the same intelligence as humans, then it would be a big problem.
This was also the reason why the Five Kings were very wary of humans trading with the anthropomorphic Disasters. After all, such Disasters were a minority, and they weren't popular in the Galaxy. Neither side was human, so their development was very difficult.
But once they took control of the situation, it would be a disaster for humans.
"That's the problem. Borderline xenogeneics and xenogeneics definitely can't be used as cannon fodder. You should have noticed, right? This batch of xenogeneics is very different from the ones that attacked us before." Li Xiang had a lot of combat experience, and he was more familiar with xenogeneics and Disasters than most people.
Although these strange fellows looked very similar, he could clearly feel that these attacking xenogeneics were completely different from the ones before. From all aspects, they were more organized and disciplined than the ones before, and their combat ability was much stronger.
Most importantly, they seemed to be very familiar with the fighting style and style of humans. This was a characteristic that had never been seen in the xenogeneics before.
"They are indeed a little different. These xenogeneics don't fight aimlessly. They even target our Elementium Cannons!" One of the Night Watchers nodded. Xenogeneics generally didn't have rational thoughts, so they wouldn't know how to destroy the Elementium Cannons.
"Some of them seem to be very familiar with the fighting style of our city guards. They seem to be very familiar with human magicians. Li Xiang, what do you suspect?" another Night Watcher asked.
"I suspect that this is a new wave of xenogeneics. It's very likely that a new Disaster has come here, and not the subordinates of the Monarch Disaster that was originally sleeping opposite Iceshell City." Li Xiang thought for a moment and said slowly. This guess was without any evidence, and it was easy to panic if he said it out loud, but he had always trusted his intuition.
"Moreover, the new Disaster might be a personified Disaster that is familiar with humans."
Everyone immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
This was no small matter.
Iceshell City had always been in a standoff with the Ruler opposite it. Once it awoke from its slumber, a real bloody battle would unfold until a Level-9 player sent it back to its slumber, and then it would be in a stalemate again.
With such a Monarch Disaster in charge, the other Disasters wouldn't rashly come here. Disasters had a very strong sense of territory. Invading the territory of another Ruler without permission was a declaration of war. Even if that Ruler was asleep, it wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
"If Li Xiang's speculation is correct, then we will be facing a group of enemies that are more sinister, more familiar with humans, and more brutal," Rita said coldly. "They might be a greater threat. I have to report this to the Night King."
Li Xiang nodded. This was only his speculation. He hoped that it was groundless. Otherwise, the fighting spirit and morale that had just been raised by the mechanized Great Wall of Disaster would probably collapse again.
After leaving Iceshell Castle, Li Xiang came to the city wall. The second phase of the mechanized project was in full swing, but the frequent harassment caused the progress of the fortifications to slow down. If the other party was deliberately doing this to disrupt their progress, then it would be too terrifying.
The development of the first batch of mechanical creatures was about to be completed. With a batch of mechanical creatures left behind by Duke Silo in Wessex as models, Scarlet Heavy Industry quickly made rapid progress in this area. However, no one knew how much combat power these mechanical creatures would have and how much use they could play.
If the Queen of Pain was here, with her help, the mechanical creatures would definitely explode with combat power comparable to the mutant army. Then, defending the city would be very easy. Unfortunately, after killing Kong Mu, she hadn't appeared again. Li Xiang tried to send a few messages, but there was no response.
She must have evolved after absorbing Kong Mu. The evolution of a mechanical creature sounded unimaginable.
Every stage of the Queen of Pain's evolution was astonishing. The last time she appeared, she was already able to kill a Level-3 player! Who knew what level she would reach after this time?
Li Xiang looked at the sea of stars on the other side. Snowflakes were flying, but his mind had flown back to the Seven Continents. He wondered what Ming Xu would be doing now.
She was still practicing the Zero Hour Source Form. After he was exiled to the Great Wall of Disaster, he had only written her a long letter. Ming Xu hadn't replied, but silence was the best answer.
She definitely didn't want him to stay here for long, but she knew what he was thinking. Silence was support. He didn't want her to agree, but he didn't want her to oppose him either.
Li Xiang was very sure of Ming Xu's thoughts. Her silence was her tacit approval of him.
But if that was the case, the day they would meet again would be far away.
They had met at the same time. Chen Fan and Ji Yanqing had already gotten married. He and Ming Xu, the poor couple, couldn't even see each other now. There was also the girl on the other side of the sea of stars.
How was she now?
Had she become a true disaster?
Li Xiang's mind had been replaying the words Fei Yujing had said to him before she left.
"I will eventually be crowned king and unify the two worlds. When that time comes, I hope that you will be among the treasures in the display cabinet.
"If you really insist on wearing that crown, then I will personally pull you down from the throne."
