"Isn't anyone going to answer my question?" Dadu shouted.
"Do we even need to think? It's obviously aimed at us. We captured their contact, so of course other demons would come to rescue him," Squirrel replied.
"I don't think rescuing them is likely. Three high-ranking Demon Lords are not worth a rescue by a hundred thousand troops. Their objective is the Black and White Slates," Wan Qianxin gritted his teeth and said, "It's all this Kaka's fault. If it weren't for him, we would have left long ago. Why endure a whole day here until the demon army arrives."
"It should be blamed on Wan Lei and Squirrel fighting endlessly, okay? They could have left directly, but they insisted on fighting with this guy," Han Xiaoyun accused Wan Lei and Squirrel loudly.
"We couldn't leave. He kept fighting us, how could we leave? Stop talking, the enemy is about to attack, prepare to attack." Wan Qianxin was the calmest person, picking up his weapon and firing outwards.
"We should be preparing to break through," Wan Lei took out his four-shot rocket launcher. Facing such a large-scale cluster attack, one should not think about close combat before the defensive positions were breached.
Bao Bao's little face was tense, and she said excitedly, "What's there to be afraid of? We held on for half a year when we faced millions before. Why fear this mere hundred thousand minor demons?"
"The situation is different. How much combat power can criminal organizations without even controlled weapons have? We are now facing the regular army of demons who have been fighting in the Sea of Bitterness for many years."
"That's right, we've almost used up our ammunition for non-controlled weapons. We didn't have time to resupply when the Five Elements Hall army arrived, so we can't possibly contend with the enemy," Xia Yubing and Wan Qianxin analyzed the situation rapidly, speaking one after another.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's break through quickly," Dadu said, about to rush out, when he suddenly remembered that there were several other people with them. He couldn't run out and leave them behind.
"Everyone, please calm down?" Wan Lei flew into the air and shouted, "We have lost the best time for a breakthrough. If we had broken through when the enemy's encirclement was weak and they were far apart, we could have easily gotten out. But now the enemy's encirclement is getting smaller and their forces are more concentrated, the hope of breaking through is very small. What we need to do now is hold our ground. Our area is small, and the enemy cannot deploy their forces effectively. We can wear them down layer by layer. I've observed that most of them are demons at the Mortal Realm, with a minority being lower and upper-level Demon Lords. It's fine, we can hold them off."
Wan Lei had truly experienced large-scale wars and had been a commander. Naturally, he knew how to act in such a situation.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped talking and dispersed, facing the enemies from all directions. Following the old rule, the four little ones each took a direction. Dadu didn't have any technological weapons, so Xia Yubing directly gave him the spaceship. He was tasked with replacing the spaceship's energy and using its onboard weapons to attack and wear down the enemy. As for Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, they flew into the air, holding their respective weapons for emergency support.
At this moment, the demons had already entered the firing range. Instantly, all the steel flying fish in the first row opened their bloody mouths and bombarded the formations set up by Wan Lei. At the same time, countless demons used demonic energy to cast divine abilities, all attacking the formations. The attacks from the steel flying fish were cleverly dispersed by Wan Lei's formations, but the demons' divine abilities were not so easy to resist. As the most common two-in-one combat and transportation tools for demons, the combat power of the steel flying fish was imaginable. It was probably far inferior to Wan Lei's small airship. Wan Lei had seen these steel flying fish when the demons invaded the Gale Realm, and they had been very powerful during the Desert War. However, he had never seen them again in subsequent wars. He had been curious about it before, and it wasn't until the battle where the Liu family was destroyed that he unintentionally saw a huge altar launching signals towards a demon forward base. Only then did he understand that all the steel flying fish had been dismantled to be used for that purpose. However, later, during the war with Liu Naiweng, the Liu family was completely razed to the ground, and the ruins of that altar also disappeared.
With a hundred thousand troops on the opposite side, and over ten thousand Demon Lords alone, a single round of cluster attacks from these individuals directly caused cracks in Wan Lei's formation. No matter how powerful Wan Lei's formation was, it couldn't withstand the attacks of enemies ten thousand times its strength. Otherwise, wouldn't the formation be too invincible, and wouldn't it have fallen into decline in the Immortal Realm?
Seeing Wan Lei struggling to attack the outside world while repairing the formation, Squirrel was furious and cursed. "Kid, you're a master-level formation master, how could your formation be broken in one round by the enemy? Did you learn the inheritance I taught you and then feed it to the dogs? Get out of the way, I'll set up the formation myself!"
Wan Lei didn't argue. If you're not as strong as someone else, you have to admit it. How long had he been studying formations? He learned the way of formations from others. Squirrel had lived for seventy thousand years and was a member of the Thunder Array Rat tribe, naturally proficient in the way of formations. No matter how talented he was, he couldn't compare. Moreover, what he learned was left by Squirrel fifty thousand years ago, and Squirrel must have made great progress in the past fifty thousand years.
"Wan Lei's formation was actually taught by Little Squirrel. Little Squirrel is so amazing~" Bao Bao shouted cutely while slaughtering demons, perfectly interpreting the aesthetic of combining violence with a loli.
Squirrel's formation was quickly set up. The moment the formation displayed its power, Wan Lei was completely stunned. It was the first time he had ever seen a formation that could attack outwards. He saw lightning constantly coursing through the entire formation, absorbing all the energy attacking from the outside, and then transforming it into lightning to attack outwards. With the formation, the automatic cannons on the defensive fortifications, and the weapons in the hands of the four little ones, the center of the small island instantly became a fortress of insane output.
With Squirrel's formation, everyone could attack the enemy more calmly. The weapons and ammunition on the four little ones were running low. Wan Lei also didn't have much left. Although he had bought a lot last time, most of it was used in the battle against the Five Elements Hall. The technological weapons in the hands of Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu ran out first. The two had no choice but to use their own lightning and gale to attack the enemy over a large area. Fortunately, their talent was good and their combat power was strong. If it were other cultivators at the Void Transcending Realm, even if they had large-scale area-of-effect attacks, at best they could only weaken the enemy, not kill large swathes like them.
"Mages are amazing."
"Mages are so strong."
"Our team needs mages like you!" The four little ones shouted excitedly.
