The Fanggang has been gathering military talents since the beginning of the construction of the first field.
Now these military talents are beginning to play their roles.
Various plans, possibilities, and potential crises were all listed out, along with countless countermeasures and defensive strategies.
In the city, this includes the Fire Humans from the first domain, the domain guardians, and even the defensive towers.
The city is divided into four sides, and the required number of troops and powerful warriors needed for defense on each side have all been calculated.
The ten strongest magical beasts have arrived, along with the leaders of various regions. Xue Ji and others are here as well, and even Huanmo from the magical beast army has come.
The Phantom Demon is quite unique and cannot be associated with the Blood King Beast.
However, their capabilities should not be underestimated.
Having a single Illusion Demon in an era is already a rare treasure that numerous kings would fight to claim.
And now, with the addition of three more illusionary demons, even Yukki and the others couldn’t help but be moved.
The Demon Wolf said, “Mr. Lu, this time we have come specifically to help you defend Fanggang. We absolutely have no objections to your arrangements.”
The demon wolf spoke like that right from the start.
The leaders of various organizations and regions couldn’t help but cast envious glances toward Lu Yu.
I think this is Lu Yu’s luck, a big stroke of luck.
Who could have imagined that Lu Yu, by merely agreeing to protect a group of the most despicable magical beasts at that time, would end up commanding an army of thirty million magical beasts decades later?
Most of the monsters have low intelligence.
However, they place immense value on loyalty and gratitude.
Once they have received kindness, they will surely repay it.
Yet, Lu Yu’s protection over the past few decades had actually earned him the return of these magical beasts with their lives.
Admiration or jealousy?
No one could possibly describe the awe they felt in their hearts at that moment.
Many people even regretted it.
Because back then, they had already harvested that city once, leaving only some of the magic beasts behind for further breeding.
The consistent profits kept them excited.
In the long run, however, they felt depressed.
Lu Yu looked at the ten magic beasts and three illusionary demons, at a loss for words.
What was once merely a promise has now brought about the arrival of an army of thirty million demons.
Lu Yu didn’t know what to say anymore.
A grizzly bear beside him spoke in a low, dull voice: “Mr. Lu, please don’t stand on ceremony with us. Although we may not be very intelligent, we are determined to repay your kindness. We came here fully prepared to die, so whatever you say goes.”
Another demonic ape also said, “Even if Mr. Lu wants to devour all of us, we have no complaints.”
The ten monstrous beasts lacked human expressions, but their eyes revealed no trace of fear, as if they had long since ceased to value their own lives.
At this moment, Lu Yu spoke: “Those who have come are all my friends, and I have never done anything excessive to my friends. Since you are all here, you are now my allies, and together we will defend this city.”
Liu Xing said from the side, “Yes. Each of us carries these marks, and we can’t escape them. Since escape is impossible, we are allies—how about we give it another shot together?”
At this moment, everyone nodded in agreement.
Liu Xing’s words were spot on; everyone had been branded and couldn’t escape. They might as well join forces and fight back.
The Demon Wolf said, “Mr. Lu, these three Phantom Demons have never once simulated the strength of any living being since their transformation. Who did you have in mind for them to imitate, or what did you want them to do?”
After the Demon Wolf finished speaking, the Regeneration King exclaimed in surprise: “Could the legend be true? When the Phantom Demon imitates for the first time, is its power stronger than the original owner’s?”
Everyone was shocked, even Yukki turned her gaze toward the three-headed illusion demon.
Lu Yu said in surprise, “Is this really true?”
A phantom demon looked at Lu Yu respectfully and said, “That’s right. Every imitation not only allows us to copy, but also enhances our abilities. The power gained is roughly thirty percent stronger than the original being copied.”
The Demon Wolf said, “Mr. Lu, the Three-Headed Phantom Demon has not yet used its illusion ability. Everything is under your command.”
Many people turned their eyes toward Lu Yu.
Because they had heard, to some extent, reports that Lu Yu had already attained a strength on the Divine Spirit Star capable of challenging the City Lord.
If one could imitate his abilities, then this Fangang, combined with an additional thirty million monstrous beasts, would be equivalent to becoming a divine city.
The Reborn King laughed and said, “Lu Yu, don’t bother thinking about it. Just imitate your own abilities; here, everyone knows your strength best.”
The Violent King also said, “Well said, I agree with this point.”
Yuki nodded as well, and there was no sign of objection from the Spirit King.
Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, “Then imitate my ability.”
The three illusionary demons exchanged glances and approached Lu Yu together. As the gray mist surrounding their bodies touched Lu Yu, their bones began to deform and undergo transformation.
The demon wolf asked, “Then what should we do?”
A demon ape also asked, “Mr. Lu, would you like me to defend the city, or should we launch an attack?”
Lu Yu looked at an elderly man with obvious Western features wearing glasses and said, “Mr. Smith, do you have any good suggestions?”
Smith is Jewish, but before the end times, he was a think tank member of the U.S. military. However, he came to Fanggang for the safety of his family.
He, like countless military experts, had been waiting for this opportunity for years.
They had almost no opportunity to contribute in this era. Yet Lu Yu still allowed them to live carefree lives in the first domain. Many people felt embarrassed and believed it was very undignified.
Architects can still design and construct buildings, so some workers have jobs to do. Yet, they have only been consulted once.
That was still the period when darkness descended.
Therefore, this time when Lu Yu came to them and they learned that he was determined to hold the defense of the port, they immediately felt excited and proud, believing that they had finally found their moment to be useful, and at the most critical time.
They obtained Lu Yu’s approval and then acquired all the data from Fanggang City, including many of Wang’s capabilities.
It took them three days and three nights to discuss the plan.
Finally, Smith presented the report in person.
Especially when the army of monsters arrived, they once again held an all-night meeting to revise countless plans that had previously been rejected.
Smith explained many different plans and simulated numerous possible scenarios just now.
Now that three more phantoms have appeared, he has begun analyzing the new information, assessing and allocating resources accordingly.
When Lu Yu asked him, Smith coughed once and said, “I think the presence of the Blood King Beast is the most advantageous. With a defensive radius of over 300 kilometers, it can cover areas both inside and outside the city. Letting the Magic Beast Army handle the eastern and southern walls, I think there won’t be any problems. This way, your defense will be connected as one, with everyone familiar with each other, making coordination much easier. Considering the Blood King Beast’s mobility, the Magic Beast Army should focus only on defense, and must not advance too far beyond the city walls. Fifteen million magic beasts on each wall should be sufficient to resist the enemy. The space for defense is limited; as long as there are enough warriors to block those spaces, even if the enemy is numerous, only a portion can engage you directly, while the rest can do nothing but wait. Add to that the defensive strength of the walls themselves, so overall, defense is advantageous for us.”
The Violent King interjected from the side, saying, “I can also be considered a mutated type of magic beast. It’s feasible for me to join the magic beast army. Therefore, I don’t need to go to other city walls—I can just join the magic beast army directly.”
Smith immediately scribbled some calculations on the paper and said, “Then, people like Snow Region King, Reincarnation King, Yaoyue Xinghun, and all the other leaders, you should all gather at the western city wall. Relying mainly on Yaoyue Xinghun’s abilities, combined with the Immortal Sky Barrier, you must be responsible for blocking the attack.”
Lu Yu frowned and said, “The immortal sky only covers the city, not the area outside. Mr. Smith, are you suggesting we should abandon the second domain?”
“It’s not exactly giving up,” Smith said. “Mr. Lu mentioned that once the城墙 (city wall) of the second domain reaches a certain level of damage, life forms of different ranks will be able to enter and exit. Initially, we will engage the enemy only within the Immortal Sky. If the wall becomes damaged, our people can still revive under the protection of the Immortal Sky after being defeated. We won’t repair the wall—let them enter and fight us mainly beneath the Immortal Sky. When our forces grow weary or our formation becomes unstable, we will immediately repair the wall. At that moment, the domain will be restored and the enemies will automatically be expelled from the domain. This way, we will have time to rest and regroup.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
Even the military personnel from Huaxia and various armed forces couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
Doing so can not only buy time but also allow for reorganizing the defensive formation.
Smith continued, “I think none of you should hold back anymore. It’s time to bring out all kinds of materials capable of creating barriers. Starting now, we’ll reform the materials to compose new barriers. Once the first set of barriers and domains are completely destroyed, while we are repairing the domains, everyone must immediately set up the second set of barriers. This way, we can gain more time to rest and adjust. Take barriers like Phantom Shield for example, which also have counterattack effects, right? They can also help deplete the enemy’s strength.”
When Smith said that, the others nodded repeatedly.
Barriers can be a more powerful defensive measure beyond just the realm of harbor defense.
This battle is unpredictable in duration. Although the barrier set up at Fanggang has dozens of layers.
But there will also come a time when everything is exhausted, and the domain will probably shatter at that point.
They were about to face their enemies head-on. However, if the domain could be repaired, they indeed had enough time to set up new barriers to block the enemy.
In this way, if they extend their rest time, their chance of winning will be even greater.
A representative of the Chinese military said, “That’s right, the materials are no longer useful now, and we are willing to contribute them all.”
Representatives from various organizations also said, “That’s right; we agree with this point as well.”
Someone said, “But in doing so, you’ve assigned everyone to the east, west, and south. What about the north? How will the north be defended?”
As the person asked this, many others also nodded in agreement.
“Not bad. The north is facing the largest enemy force, yet you haven’t stationed a single guard there. Are you planning to let them break through?”
“Breakthrough? Of course it’s impossible for anyone to break through,” Smith said confidently, puffing out his chest. “The northern front is the most important. How could we not set up defenses there? This place is personally guarded by Mr. Lu Yu!”
“What?”
Everyone gasped in astonishment.
People like Xue Ji, Rebirth King, and Spirit King couldn’t help but feel somewhat shocked.
“How can one person hold the defense alone?”
“My goodness, this can’t be serious!”
“That’s a section of the city wall nearly two hundred kilometers long; how could Lu Yu defend it all by himself?”
Moreover, Lu Yu was still facing the broadest and most massive battlefield directly—it’s definitely no joke!
If a person stays in one place, they’ll be completely overwhelmed right away!
