The crowd spoke in one voice, saying anything and everything, but they had indeed not received the commander’s order to break out, so they could only desperately eliminate the demons surrounded.
As Wan Lei had guessed, the base defenders divided some of their forces, using spaceships as defensive fortifications, and fiercely opened fire on the demon army outside to hinder their counterattack.
If during the base’s defense and attack, the demons were still calmly advancing their formations in an orderly manner, advancing and retreating with proper measure, then now they were charging wildly without any method.
Tens of millions of demon troops, fearless and roaring, charged toward the defenders within the encirclement.
Everyone knew that demons had strong physical bodies and excellent close-combat abilities, but lacked technological weapons and long-range attack capabilities.
The Human race from the positive plane, on the other hand, was known for its various complex divine abilities and peak-developed technological weapons, but had frail bodies.
This meant that the Human race excelled in long-range attacks and coordinated legion battles.
Therefore, if the demons wanted to defeat the Human army, they had to charge forward into close combat.
It was in chaotic battles that demons could maximize their combat power.
This was something Wan Lei and others had discovered when fighting demons in the Lei Feng Realm.
The demon army in the distance charged desperately. Without the support of base defenses and at a disadvantage in numbers, the defenders found it difficult to withstand the demons’ frenzied offensive.
As a last resort, Wan Lei had to send a portion of his squad to the rear of the spaceship, using the onboard weapons there to attack the approaching demons.
The defenders were attacked from both front and rear, swamped with work, but not in disarray.
After two hours of charging, the demon army finally reached the defenders and began to attack fiercely.
The defenders immediately put away their technological weapons, drew out their magic treasures, and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.
“Da Da, take Yuan Jun and the others to attack from the spaceship. Tai Heng Realm and the Four Little Ones will go out to fight with me!”
The enemy had already reached the vicinity of the spaceship, and the effectiveness of the ship-mounted weapons was greatly reduced. The surrounding defenders and demons were engaged in close combat, intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish. Powerful weapons could easily injure allies.
“We also want to go out and fight.”
Liu Yuxin ran over, her small face serious as she looked at Wan Lei.
“No, it’s too dangerous outside. Your cultivation is weak, and you’re easily in danger.”
Wan Lei refused without hesitation.
“We are not weaklings who need protection. When we are on the battlefield, we are here to kill enemies. We are not people who fear death.”
Liu Yuxin was full of stubbornness and refused to back down. Wan Liuchuan, who was beside her, had the same attitude.
“Are you disobeying orders?”
Wan Lei stared fiercely at Liu Yuxin, but Xin Er was not afraid at all.
“You talk as if you obey orders. Did the commander ask you to come out and fight? Haven’t you come out anyway?
If I don’t go out to fight, how will I improve and grow? If I don’t grow, how will I kill you in the future?”
With that, Liu Yuxin opened the cabin door and charged out first, followed by Wan Liuchuan.
The remaining Four Little Ones and Da Da looked at each other, unsure of what was happening.
Coming from the Immortal Realm, they were unaware of the enmity between Liu Yuxin and Wan Lei.
“Hmph, I’ll kill this brat sooner or later!”
Fang Xiaoyu’s face was grim. She donned her armor and charged out. Wan Lei sighed and also charged out.
“Tian Suanzi, what’s going on?”
Bao Bao asked curiously.
“Oh, Liu Yuxin has an older brother named Liu Ao, who used to like Xiao Yu and targeted Wan Lei, wanting to kill him. But Wan Lei killed him instead. So, a feud was formed,” Tian Suanzi said casually.
“Good heavens, this is more than just a simple feud; it’s a deep-seated hatred. How can they still get along peacefully?”
“Heh heh, they’re all relatives.”
Tian Suanzi smiled and also charged out.
With Liu Yuxin leading the way, the three daughters of Huofeng were also unwilling to stay in the spaceship to be protected and charged out directly. The spaceship would be left for Da Da to pilot.
Looking at his companions going out to fight, Da Da sighed. As a god with a strong physique, he should have been charging into the enemy ranks and killing wantonly. But unexpectedly, as strong as he was, he had become the most ordinary person in this team and had ended up as a driver.
The Lei Yu Squad dispersed around the spaceship, fighting against the demons along with the defenders.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu stayed close to each other. Both excelled at large-scale attacks, and for a time, lightning filled their surroundings, and gusts of wind erupted as they charged left and right in the chaos.
The Lei Yu Squad was extremely powerful, each capable of fighting ten, but in a legion battle of millions, they were still merely a drop in the ocean.
All they could do was guard the vicinity of the Flying Feather, protecting the spaceship while killing demons.
The battle became increasingly fierce. The surrounding demons and the besieged defenders engaged in chaotic combat. Although one side was still outside and the other inside, the dividing line between them was no longer clear.
Screams and wails filled the entire battlefield. Every second, someone died, falling into that earthy yellow ocean and becoming part of the souls of the苦海 (Ku Hai - Sea of Suffering).
“I am Jiu Ma, commander of the demon race. I ask for the whereabouts of the Human commander Ya. Please come out and have a chat.”
A tall demon, exuding a terrifying pressure, held a black fire greatsword. With a single move, he killed a large number of soldiers from the positive plane.
He laughed and led a group of demons toward the defender’s flagship.
Above the flagship, Commander Ya and his guards also appeared.
Seeing this, Jiu Ma stopped, shouldered his greatsword, and a sinister smile spread across his purple, ugly face.
“Hahahaha, Ya, everyone says you are wise and an outstanding commander, but today you have ended up surrounded by my Demon Wolf Army. You were too careless.
How about it, are you convinced? Do you admit defeat?”
Jiu Ma laughed wildly, mocking the opposing commander.
In any war, the greatest achievement for a commander was to annihilate the enemy and capture the opposing commander alive.
He had been the commander of the demon race’s Ku Hai battlefield for over ten thousand years. His Demon Wolf Army and Base No. 18 were mortal enemies. They had fought countless battles, big and small, with mixed results, winning and losing.
He had also broken through Base No. 18 several times; these were his most brilliant achievements.
But ever since Ya was transferred to Base No. 18 as commander hundreds of years ago, he had never won, not once.
The opponent commander’s ability was too strong; he was always defeated utterly.
But this time, unexpectedly, with just a little trick, using two million troops as bait, he had lured Ya into pursuing them, ultimately leading to them being surrounded by his own forces.
It had to be said that the previous victories had gone to Ya’s head. Carelessness and impetuousness had led to such a predicament.
