Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

Mo Wuji's eye twitched twice.

But as the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Demon Clan, he managed to restrain himself from making public statements.

After all, they knew that capturing Dragon City was more important than anything else right now.

He exhaled a long breath and plunged the heavy sword into the ground.

"talk!"

The mechanical race and the demon race reached an agreement in less than ten minutes.

The Mech race has officially joined the war.

Three million mechanical golems launched a collective charge against Dragon City on the vast battlefield.

What Longcheng was facing was no longer flesh and blood, but an absolute storm of metal.

This confrontation transcended the realm of flesh and blood from the very beginning, entering a purely hardcore armored clash.

The remaining three outer puppet defense lines of Dragon City.

The 1130 close-in weapon system in the Tier 6 Golem and the Enhanced Golem.

Under Vivian's unified command, they opened fire simultaneously, with tens of thousands of cannons spewing fire at the same time.

Da da da!!

They directly shattered the first wave of Mech race vanguard.

The fragments of the mechanical golems' armor piled up into small mountains on the battlefield in an instant.

The wreckage was still hissing and occasionally bursting into bright bursts.

However, the tactics of the Machine Race were clearly much more sophisticated than those of the Demon Race.

While drawing fire from the front, the main force immediately launched a flanking maneuver.

The Starry Sky's long-range sniper legion was a nightmare for the heavy artillery on Dragon City's walls.

They precisely targeted every heavy artillery point on the Longcheng defense line.

Annihilation beams were precisely aimed at the city's heavy artillery from thirty kilometers away.

Longcheng was equally unyielding.

Under Vivian's intelligent fire control system, 100,000 heavy city defense cannons and 150,000 floating artillery emplacements provided all-round, no-blind-spot fire coverage.

Each salvo was like the heavens and earth collapsing, the explosions so loud they made the city walls tremble.

Millions of high-explosive landmines were detonated one after another.

Whenever the Mech race's vanguard forces break through an interception net.

You'll find that the area in front of you is riddled with landmines.

This scale of metal warfare is beyond description in terms of conventional brutality.

Neither side in the conflict is a carbon-based life form of flesh and blood.

There were no screams, no groans, and not even any tragic scenes.

Only collisions between metals.

The exchange of artillery fire.

The mechanical race breached the three outer lines of puppet defense in Dragon City layer by layer within three days.

However, the machine race paid an extremely heavy price for this.

What they found even harder to bear was...

For every cheap puppet they destroy in Dragon City, they have to pay out at least twice the number of mechanical warriors of the same rank.

For each outer defense line of Dragon City breached, they had to sacrifice a mechanical army of millions.

This forced the Mech Race to send out War Gods or even Invincible Puppets to participate in the brutal offensive and defensive battles.

In contrast, the countless martial god puppets and invincible puppets of Dragon City were never used in the war again.

Therefore, Longcheng's actual combat strength was not greatly lost.

Dusk.

The vanguard of the Mech race finally broke through the last line of puppet defenses.

They rushed over the mountain of metal debris to the foot of the first city wall of Dragon City.

Tie Yuan had not yet given the order to launch the siege.

An unprecedentedly dense burst of fire suddenly erupted from the city wall.

This time it wasn't the puppets firing.

It was the human defenders on the city wall who were firing.

The human army officially joined the siege.

Hundreds of thousands of defensive cannons and energy cannons are operated by human soldiers.

Each volley of fire carried a uniquely human combat rhythm.

Human firing rates may not be as precise and even as the automatic fire control of a puppet.

However, the adaptability and resilience they demonstrated in actual combat are something that no program can simulate.

A soldier was hit by a stray bullet and fell from the city wall, his body not yet fully hitting the ground.

His teammates next to him have filled the firepower gap.

Some firing positions were destroyed by snipers, but the surrounding defenders did not retreat; instead, they continued to fight.

"Lord of the City!" Zhao Tiangang's voice was hoarse and trembling, yet filled with barely suppressed excitement, as he relayed the real-time battle report from the front lines.

The background sound was a deafening roar of artillery fire.

"These soldiers are really good! The brothers are fighting desperately against the alien race."

"Even the usually slick and cunning soldiers fought with a fierce spirit, but there were still some inexperienced new recruits."

Ye Feng stood in front of the holographic combat platform in the City Lord's Mansion.

He saw the real-time battle reports coming back from the front lines.

Several new recruit companies, facing the heavy assault units of the Mech race for the first time, showed some fear and hesitation.

The phenomenon of people being afraid of death does exist, and some even retreat at crucial moments.

But not a single person threw down their weapon and turned to run away.

Despite their fear, the new recruits gritted their teeth and went for it.

Ye Feng calmly interrupted Zhao Tiangang's report and issued an order on the army's command channel.

The voice was nothing special, yet it rang in the ears of every soldier who was gritting their teeth while guarding the city wall.

"Anyone who kills ten seventh-tier Martial Venerable puppets or one Martial God puppet will be rewarded with a Great Dao Fruit or a Great Dao Fragment."

"And so on, it can be accumulated, with no limit on the number of times."

"Everyone's achievements are recorded in real time on the battle merit system, and the rewards are paid out on the spot after the battle. Now, issue this order to the entire army."

Ye Feng spoke calmly, but that calmness carried more weight than any grand pronouncements.

Because he never made empty promises.

The soldiers on the city wall were already somewhat exhausted from fighting.

Upon hearing the command, he suddenly unleashed an extremely fierce aura.

Someone was shouting, "Did you hear?! The Great Dao Fruit! It's really being given away!"

One gunner silently replaced the overheated gun barrel and continued working.

One wounded recruit, who was being carried to the rear for emergency treatment, even gritted his teeth and sat up on the stretcher.

His first words were...

"Does the Martial Venerable Puppet I destroyed before count?"

Three days of bloody battle!

Five million human soldiers fought almost every time they went through the city walls.

Every survivor wore the unwavering resilience of a soldier.

In particular, the murderous intent in his eyes was completely different from what it had been three days ago.

When the last batch of rotating troops retreated into the city walls to rest, Ye Feng issued new orders.

"Vivian, let the puppet take over."

With this order issued.

All the human defenders on the city wall retreated in an orderly manner, and were replaced by brand-new combat golems brought up from the rear defense line.

These puppets still smelled of fresh engine oil.

They mechanically and systematically took over all the defensive weapons on the city wall.

Nine days have passed since the battle.

Inside the eleventh-tier warship.

The core ship of the Star Ring Base and the puppet production base covering hundreds of square kilometers have never stopped for even a second.

After a month of expansion.

More than 200,000 puppet production lines were operating day and night, producing all kinds of war puppets and city defense weapons.

Especially in the nine days following the start of the war.

It has also unleashed tremendous production capacity.
