Chapter 2059 - 2052: He Alone Is Enough
Zhang Menglong’s statement made quite a few people find it amusing.
Indeed, he possessed a vast amount of resources, and some people owe their survival and continued ability to fight here to the supplies contributed by Zhang Menglong.
However, the amount of supplies he had didn’t correlate much with Zhang Menglong’s combat capability.
Those things might have come from warcraft weaker than him; after all, whether hunting strong warcraft or weak ones, they can drop loot. So, why not hunt the weaker ones?
Nobody knew how Zhang Menglong became so mighty in the Ice Demon Race, nor did anyone know how he single-handedly overturned a city.
Of course, even if they knew all this, they wouldn’t believe Zhang Menglong could single-handedly withstand the beast tide. After all, the number of beasts in the tide was thousands of times more than the strong Ice Demons, and they feared no death, charging forward relentlessly, making them more terrifying than the Ice Demons who would fear and retreat.
"Eh? Don’t you guys trust me?" Seeing that no one was retreating, Zhang Menglong was at a loss for what to do.
Of course, he was well aware that this was no child’s play. Without establishing trust, nobody would entrust the safety of the Great City of Aiville and the future of all humans to a young man with ten times the strength of the Dao Realm.
"Brother Menglong, did you already summon those Insect Clan beasts?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Hehe," Zhang Menglong showed a shrewd smile, "Jin Kela, it’s your turn; let your little brothers out!"
With Zhang Menglong’s command, countless Insect Clan emerged.
Some descended from the sky like fighter jets, others emerged from the ground, and some attacked like assassins from the shadows.
The number of these Insect Clan was sufficient to surround the entire blood-stained area!
The Great City of Aiville, which was initially besieged by the beast tide, now saw the attacking warcraft surrounded from both inside and outside!
The Insect Clan warcraft stood like an iron wall around the Great City of Aiville, leaving only a few gaps for the human Martial Artists to retreat.
"These... these are Insect Clan warcraft? They’ve actually come to help us defend the city?"
"Oh my God, what’s going on?"
"I heard that there are many Insect Clan warcraft guarding around Yan Huang City; I thought it was just a legend, I didn’t expect it to be true!"
"I know about this, but I thought it was just a few million, at most ten million, how could there be such a terrifying number? Even the total number of Insect Clan warcraft in all human territories doesn’t add up to this much, right?"
"What exactly is the relationship between these Insect Clan warcraft and Yan Huang City? Could it be that young man named Zhang Menglong summoned them?"
"Who cares about that? Let’s retreat first!"
The Martial Artists, having gotten a chance to rest, immediately retreated to Aiville City along the gaps left by the Insect Clan forces.
Even though the number of the Insect Clan forces was vast, they certainly couldn’t help them defend from start to finish under the relentless blood rain.
Moreover, warriors who haven’t been baptized by war cannot be considered real warriors; they must rely on their own strength to protect the city!
Soon, the Insect Clan warcraft engaged in close combat with the Ray Dragon Beasts.
Zhang Menglong’s Insect Clan army mostly consisted of warcraft at Lord level and above, with a substantial number of King and Emperor level warcraft. Although the Ray Dragon Beasts were formidable, they began to retreat before such elite Insect Clan forces and were even pushed back fifty kilometers!
Standing on the back of a winged Insect Clan warcraft, Zhang Menglong and Jin Kela patrolled the sky leisurely. The Ray Dragon Beasts were fiercely attacked by Insect Clan beasts from both the inside and outside, and the number born couldn’t even keep up with the number killed!
The only pity was that the Ray Dragon Beasts slain by Insect Clan warcraft wouldn’t drop any other items.
However, Zhang Menglong turned into a pilot, continuously dropping one Buddha’s Fury Lotus after another from the sky, slaying large numbers of Ray Dragon Beasts, bringing him a wealth of resources once again.
"Oh? Finally, something different," as Zhang Menglong picked up a plain-looking earth grenade, joy appeared in his eyes. It was indeed an Ultimate Bomb he had obtained before!
He knew well the power of this thing: one Ultimate Bomb could kill hundreds or thousands of Dao Realm ultimate powerhouses, even top-level races like the Ice Demon Race all the same!
"Hehe!" Zhang Menglong happily put the item away, "If I could get a batch of Ultimate Bombs, I could beat through all races!"
With these gains, Zhang Menglong’s back wasn’t sore, his legs didn’t hurt, and he worked with more vigor. He popped a few elixirs into his mouth and more excitedly started manipulating Flame Lotus.
Just because there were many human Martial Artists around, Zhang Menglong hadn’t been able to let loose and wreak havoc, but now that only warcraft were left on the battlefield, there was nothing to hold him back.
As the number of warcraft killed increased, Zhang Menglong obtained more and more valuable items.
[Forbidden Barrier] created by the extinct Tigus Civilization, can create a 1 km by 1 km Barrier lasting for an hour, and Ultimate Life Forms or lower can’t breach it.
[Tooth of Time], a fang from a virtual time warcraft, can stop time in a 500-meter radius for 1 second.
[Mystic Breaking Crossbow] a powerful weapon created by an unknown race, designed to assault Main Cities, with more than 8000 under its siege.
...
"Damn, another God Summoning Scroll!"
"Good stuff, it’s all good stuff!" Each item brought Zhang Menglong considerable surprise. Some had massive destructive power, while others, though not directly combat-oriented, could exert significant auxiliary effects.
Particularly that Mystic Breaking Crossbow, it was simply a siege artifact!
The warriors resting in Aiville City in the distance only saw blossoms of Flame Lotus erupting among the beast hordes; even miles away, they could feel that suffocating power.
"Is this really the destructive power of Peak of Dao Realm tenfold strength?" A Dao Realm ultimate powerhouse couldn’t help but marvel. Even he probably couldn’t retreat unscathed under the bombardment of Flame Lotus.
"Do you feel that even if the entire Great City of Aiville were left to him alone, he could guard against the beast tide?"
"Don’t say, I do feel that way. Just with his Insect Clan warcraft swarm, he could easily hold the defense for three months if we don’t count the cost."
"Ridiculous how yesterday I suggested he join the logistics team; without him, we probably wouldn’t have this chance to rest now."
"Alright, everyone, perk up and recover quickly; we can’t let him be the only hero!"
"Right, we need to slay more warcraft too, to gather more resources for our Myriad Tribes competition!"
