The lively streets gradually subsided, but the lights were still dim and looked particularly clear under the night.
On the towering city wall, all the soldiers stood at their posts like statues, and no one was slacking off.
On the observation deck, the soldiers were constantly scanning the surroundings with their spiritual consciousness.
The observation tower has four directions, and there are soldiers guarding each position.
Suddenly, the light and shadow swayed a hundred meters away and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
If you are an ordinary person, you may think it is an illusion, but the independent soldiers who have always been well-trained will not let go of any suspicious things.
His spiritual sense was detected, and when he saw countless dark figures rushing towards him, he was startled, as if he had been trained countless times, and sounded the signal bomb.
"Boom-bang!!"
Brilliant fireworks bloom in the void!
Shine the whole earth as bright as day!
Including the ghost army that is constantly coming this way from far below!
"Enemy attack——!!"
"Dang-dang-dang-!"
The silence of the night was broken.
Alarm bells and horns sounded throughout the city that never sleeps.
…
"Damn! These people react so quickly!"
"We've been discovered! That saves us the trouble and attack directly!"
Several envoys no longer concealed themselves, and directly charged into the city with their swords!
"attack--!!"
Unexpectedly, just a hundred meters away from the city wall, it was blocked by a barrier!
At the same time, countless black shadows flew out from the city, neatly and overwhelmingly!
Independent Vanguard Army, attack!
Three thousand people, all the best among the best.
Strong fighting ability and tacit cooperation.
They ignored the lowest-level ghost tribe below and aimed directly at the messenger from the Underworld Palace!
At the same time, the sound of artillery fire came from the city wall.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The war officially begins!
…
Main rear camp.
Xue Duan was dressed in military uniform and sat firmly in his position.
Battle reports continue to come from the front line!
"Our vanguard army has engaged the enemy!"
"Heavy machine guns have blocked all the ghosts from outside the barrier, and the remaining five thousand soldiers are already in place on the city wall!"
"All-out attack begins!"
…
There was a tense atmosphere throughout the camp.
But it's not fear, but a kind of excitement and eagerness to try.
A desire for a great battle.
Xue Duan's breath was as calm as water, and he quietly looked at the military defense map in front of him, explaining a few words from time to time, like a chess player sitting behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation, without any panic.
In the camp, generals would go out from time to time, walking in a hurry but in an orderly manner.
Time passed minute by minute.
Finally, the situation on the front line changed.
"The barrier has been broken! The ghost tribe has arrived under the city wall!"
"Dang."
Xue Duan planted the last flag in a ravine and did not even raise his head after hearing the report.
"Follow the original plan."
"yes!"
In an instant, all the generals came out like fishes, and soon, only Xue Duan and two other soldiers were left in the tent.
The people in the city naturally heard the sound of artillery fire, but they did not panic, because the moment the alarm bell rang, soldiers hiding in the dark were dispatched to do a good job of comforting them and evacuated people to the air raid shelters in an orderly manner.
The entrances to air raid shelters are located in streets and alleys, and are the most hidden places.
Faced with this situation, the people in the independent state reacted very calmly.
There were even children playing around, and from time to time there were sounds of laughter and chasing. For those who didn’t know, they thought they were playing house with their parents.
This is attributed to Ling Xuewei’s daily air defense warning training.
Every month, an air defense drill is organized and automatic air defense drills are carried out once the alarm sounds, so the people are used to it.
Some even thought this was a newly launched drill method from above, so they didn't pay attention at all.
Of course, there are some who are careful, and they can tell something from the serious expressions of the soldiers. However, the dense surrounding soldiers give them a sense of security. After living in the Independent State for so long, they know the capabilities of this iron-blooded army.
This is the real shot in the arm to appease them.
…
The city that never sleeps was attacked by the ghost army. This news was quickly spread to the main city and other cities through the communication troops.
The eight generals stationed in the city all received it.
At the same time, there were constant battle reports coming in.
"Damn it! This old Xue is really good at it. He is so well-defended!"
"It's been a few hours, and the front line hasn't been breached yet, okay!"
"Huh, if it were me, I could do it too!"
"Come on, Mr. Zhuo, stop being such a jerk!"
"I don't have a bad ass, that's what I am!"
…
At the commander level, there will be a communication device covering the entire independent state area.
Therefore, when the battle situation on the front line reaches them, it becomes a real-time broadcast.
What would Ling Xuewei's expression be if she knew that the communication she asked Bai Ze to carefully create was used by them as a chat tool?
Suddenly, a "sizzling" sound came from the communication, and then Di Jian's cold voice sounded, "It seems that you are very free."
"Click."
"Click."
Several people silently cut off communication.
"Mr. Zhuo, if I remember correctly, you should be reflecting in your account at this moment, right?"
The voice was inexplicably sinister.
A few more eavesdroppers silently hung up the call.
Mr. Zhuo is no longer in the signal...
…
Di Jian hung up the communication, snorted, then called someone in, and ordered someone to cut off the food of a person who was reflecting. Only then did the anger in his heart subside.
The monk would starve to death if he didn't eat for three days. If he didn't punish the old man, he wouldn't know the seriousness of the matter.
At this moment, Di Jian was on her way to the city that never sleeps.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the general's camp.
I originally thought that it would be a serious and solemn scene, but unexpectedly when I entered the camp, I saw Xue Duan... eating supper?
MMP's!
I have the urge to kill someone with a knife.
The corners of his mouth twitched and he walked over, "Do you still want to have a midnight snack? It seems that the battle is going well?"
Without even raising his head, he said lightly, "Didn't it all be said in the communication?"
It seems that there is more than one person eavesdropping in the corner!
This guy... actually...
A few crows flew overhead for no apparent reason, and Di Jian sat down, politely asked someone to bring a pair of chopsticks, and started eating.
Two staff officers, "..."
Commander, you...
After supper, there was an eerie yet harmonious silence in the tent.
These two, the supreme commanders of the independent army, said nothing and were busy with their own affairs.
They didn't think anything was wrong, but the two staff officers were extremely embarrassed and felt uncomfortable everywhere.
What's even more uncomfortable is here.
"You are in the wrong position."
"..."
"It should be here."
"..."
"Hey, why don't you listen to my advice? The enemy is here, and we are here. If you go here, aren't you falling into the enemy's trap? You can't even see such an obvious trap? According to me, you should be like this, and then like this,
Finally do this again..."
No matter what Di Jian said, he was greeted with silence.
But this gentleman was so excited that he didn't notice their general's frown getting deeper and deeper.
