The 100,000 soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion rapidly set up defensive fortifications. Once these fortifications were completed and combined with the underground formation, this place would once again become impregnable.
As soon as they appeared, they quickly installed the materials they had prepared. A hundred thousand people worked together, working together skillfully, quickly building high platforms one after another.
They built a high platform, and the beasts on the battlefield ahead didn't even spare them a glance, focusing solely on frantically attacking Ye Lingfeng and the others.
"Is this the effect of aphrodisiac?" Shen Chengfeng looked at those frenzied demon beasts and suddenly understood.
"Hmm, when these demons are aroused, they become irritable and quick to anger. After all, they're not human; they only mate when they're in heat.
So when their desires are stirred at this moment, they become cruel and easy to kill. Have you seen some demon beasts, in their rage, even kill their own kin that block them? Could it be that your Divine Clan doesn't know this? Long Chen asked.
Shen Chengfeng shook his head: "Maybe the older generation knows, but I don't know. But even if I did, it wouldn't help. If we use this medicine against them, wouldn't that just be setting ourselves up?" "
You can't say that. When they become frenzied, they return to their wildness, fearless of death. Wherever you lead them, that's where they go."
As long as you set traps in advance, every monster that comes will die instantly, greatly increasing your efficiency. The solution is death, but the person is alive—the key is how you use it. Long Chen said.
"Reporting to the Grand Commander, thirty-six formation platforms have already been built. Should we activate the defense?" A soldier came to report.
The thirty-six formation platforms have already been set up. Once the underground grand formation is activated, defensive barriers can be set up, and the positions will be completely reclaimed.
Just as Shen Chengfeng was about to give the order to activate it, he suddenly remembered to consult Long Chen: "Brother Long, should we activate the grand formation?" "
Long Chen shook his head: "Not yet. If you activate the grand formation and then set up other platforms, it will consume several times the time and seriously affect efficiency."
Right now, we have no threat. We need to maximize our benefits. The defensive platforms are now sufficient. Set up attack platforms—arrow towers, crossbows, and so on—build as many as you can.
To be safe, he stationed some people by the defensive platform. If anything happened, he could activate the formation immediately—everything would be in time. "
Shen Chengfeng nodded and instructed the disciple to go down and follow Long Chen's instructions. Now, Shen Chengfeng was increasingly impressing with Long Chen. Although they had only spent a few days together, he had learned so much from Long Chen.
"Long Chen, Shen Chengfeng, you two will die a horrible death."
Suddenly, a hoarse voice from the battlefield ahead, tinged with hysteria, echoed through the endless roars of magical beasts on the battlefield into Long Chen's ears.
"He seems to be insulting us." Long Chen shrugged and smiled.
"Reporting to the Commander, the attack and killing formations have also been set up."
Just then, a soldier came to report.
Long Chen smiled slightly. Without activating the grand formation, his speed was much faster.
"Spread the grand formation."
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and one after another, all the towers were lit up. As all the platforms were illuminated, a dark blue light screen gradually formed in the void.
At first, the light barrier was like a thin membrane, feeling like it would shatter at the slightest touch. But as endless energy poured into the high platform, the membrane rapidly thickened, and countless runes swirled within, its aura growing stronger and stronger.
When the formation was propped up, a weight was lifted from Shen Chengfeng's heart, and all the Tianlong warriors let out a cheer.
"Why are you yelling so much? Celebration should have the spirit of celebration. Brothers, beat the drums, beat the gongs, set off firecrackers, and sing battle songs. Long Chen waved his hand.
Only then did Shen Chengfeng understand what Long Chen had been using for the drums and firecrackers before.
"Knock knock knock...
"Clang clang...
"Crackling crackling crackling... The
hundred thousand Heavenly Dragon warriors were celebrating, their voices echoing far and wide. These guys seemed to be beating drums and gongs, Treat it as a form of venting, pounding it.
"Oh my god!"
Long Chen felt his ears buzzing from the vibration, his soul and spirit about to burst out. These guys were knocking so badly and chaoticly, it was extremely uncomfortable.
But these soldiers were completely immersed in that joy, beating desperately—if you beat loudly, I would beat even louder. Soon, the drum was struck and the gong broke.
When there was nothing left to strike, he took out two weapons and smashed them wildly, sparking everywhere. After all, he had to have something to hammer on.
Shen Chengfeng couldn't take it anymore and shouted loudly, "Is it really necessary for us to suffer like this?" "
But when he shouted out, even he couldn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?" Long Chen sent a voice transmission.
Only then did Shen Chengfeng realize—wouldn't it have been better to just send a voice transmission directly? He repeated what he had just said.
"Of course it's necessary. We're uncomfortable, and those guys on the other side must be ten times worse than we are." Long Chen chuckled.
"That's way too harsh." Shen Chengfeng complained.
"More or less. After all, we're not professional musicians. As long as we're happy, even the sound of a fart can become wonderful." Long Chen laughed heartily.
Just as Long Chen ordered the hundred thousand Heavenly Dragon Army to open the defenses and activate the grand formation, Ye Lingfeng had already seen it. He was so angry he nearly spat blood.
Long Chen used them to retake the position without bloodshed—in fact, it was effortless.
When the sound of gongs, drums, and firecrackers echoed from within the position, even the roars of the demon beasts could not be drowned. Ye Lingfeng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the veins on his forehead bulging.
"Long Chen, if I don't tear you to pieces, my surname won't be Ye." Ye Lingfeng roared in his heart; his hatred for Long Chen had reached an indescribable level.
"Commander, something's wrong. The attacks from these beasts are too fierce. The energy inside our Divine Dragon Overlord Crossbow can at most last half a stick of incense, and our reinforcements are still on their way... I'm afraid it's too late..." the deputy commander said in terror.
At first, although they were somewhat flustered, the distress signal had already been sent out and received a response, so they became fearless.
But today, these beasts were acting abnormally, charging like madmen, causing severe exhaustion. If this continued, they wouldn't be able to hold out for reinforcements. Once the Dragon Overlord Crossbow's energy was depleted and their defenses broken, it would be over.
In just an instant, they would be torn apart by the beasts. Faced with such a terrifying army of beasts, even elders of the Tianzi generation being besieged would have to die bitterly on the spot. For a moment, they were in despair.
"Commander, the only way now is to ask Long Chen for help." The deputy commander shouted loudly.
"Dream on, I'd rather die than face themCalling for help. Ye Lingfeng roared, telling him to go to Long Chen for help—wouldn't that be humiliating himself?
"Commander, as long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. A true man can bend and stretch; only by staying alive do you have a chance to take revenge." The deputy commander shouted.
Ye Lingfeng gritted his teeth in hatred, looking at the endless army of demon beasts around him, then at the runes on the Dragon Overlord Crossbow, which began to dim as he slammed his fist hard onto the ground.
"Long Chen, I have something to tell you." Ye Lingfeng shouted loudly, his voice echoing from afar.
But Ye Lingfeng called out three times in a row, and still no response, leaving Ye Lingfeng so angry his face turned purple.
"They're trying to trap us to death." Ye Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said.
"No, we call for help. They clearly have the ability to save us, but if they refuse to help, they violate the laws of the Divine Clan. Shen Chengfeng and other key members will surely be killed.
As for the others, they would inevitably face severe punishment as well. They absolutely wouldn't dare. However, Long Chen was malicious at heart; they deliberately celebrated and used their voices to cover up our cries for help, so they could pretend they couldn't hear us.
We sent them a distress signal directly. Even if they couldn't hear it, they could see it. Once they saw it, they wouldn't dare not refrain from acting. Otherwise, after we die, they won't be able to hide the truth. The deputy commander said.
"Alright, send the signal."
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an arrow tore through the air, heading straight for the position. But the distance between them was too great; it exploded only halfway, radiating divine light across the sky.
Long Chen waved his hand, signaling all the soldiers to stop, but some seemed immersed in the beautiful vocals, still blindly smashing with their eyes closed. They only stopped after being kicked by someone nearby.
When everyone stopped beating him, Shen Chengfeng let out a long breath, feeling as if the whole world had gone silent. It was a wonderful feeling, because he was already feeling dizzy and lightheaded. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to hold on and would almost throw up.
"Long Chen, we're now trapped in a deep siege. Do you dare to stand by and do nothing?" Ye Lingfeng's furious roar rang out.
"Damn, is this guy out of his mind?" How dare you be so arrogant when you call for help? Long Chen couldn't help but look puzzled.
"There's nothing we can do. The Divine Clan has iron laws: if someone has the ability to rescue but refuses to help, all of us core members will be slain, and the other disciples will be expelled from the Heavenly Dragon Legion and never be valued again.
That's why Ye Lingfeng calculated that we had to save them, which is why he was so rude. But the fact that Ye Lingfeng spoke up was also a form of begging for mercy. Long Chen, we still have to step in. Shen Chengfeng said gravely.
The laws of the divine race are extremely strict. If they dare to watch them die without a word, it would bring disaster upon themselves.
"Then how do you deal with their tricks on you? Since they dare to trick you, it means they are confident they won't take responsibility.
Where there is law, there must be loopholes. Listen to me, and whatever I tell you to do, you will do it accordingly, guaranteeing no mistakes. "Long Chen suddenly said to Shen Chengfeng.
After speaking, Long Chen shouted toward the distant battlefield, "Ye Lingfeng, are you asking us for help?" But your attitude doesn't seem to be satisfactory. "
Long Chen, stop playing this trick. If we die, all of you will suffer." Ye Lingfeng shouted loudly.
"Alright, you won. We'll rescue you right now. Brothers, shoot the arrows."
Long Chen waved his hand, and arrows rained down like a storm. In that instant, Ye Lingfeng was so angry his nose twisted: "
Long Chen, you've gone too far."
