The sky was about to turn bright, but the battle in the sky above Star Dragon City was still ongoing. It was not until noon that the battle finally ended with the retreat of the insectoids. According to the statistics, Star Dragon City had lost two Nascent Soul cultivators, one thousand four hundred Golden Core cultivators, ten thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, and countless ordinary soldiers!
The surroundings of Star Dragon City were dyed dark red by the blood. The smell of blood was so strong that it was hard to look at it directly!
For Star Dragon City, this was a pyrrhic victory that cost a lot of lives!
"Buzz."
The broken cockpit of the battlesuit opened slowly. Qin Chongxiao staggered out with a pale face. He looked back at the mark left by the penetrating attack on the left side of the cockpit and felt lucky. If the attack had been a little bit more to the center, he might not have been able to come back alive today!
"Father!"
Qin Yiming, who had been on tenterhooks for the whole day, almost cried when he saw Qin Chongxiao return.
Qin Chongxiao coughed and said to Qin Yiming, "What are you shouting for? Are you attending a funeral?!"
"Father, I'm sorry. I was just too emotional."
Qin Yiming raised his hand to wipe away the faint tears at the corner of his eyes. He didn't want others to see that he was so excited that he almost shed tears. He was already more than a hundred years old, and he would also feel ashamed.
"Although we won this battle, it was too difficult."
Qin Chongxiao looked at the Beetle Battleships in the sky and sighed. "Zerg's sacrifice was much smaller than ours!"
Qin Yiming's expression changed slightly. He asked, "Father, are you saying that we can't hold on anymore?"
Qin Chongxiao shook his head and said to Qin Yiming, "We can, but every day we hold on, Star Dragon City's overall strength will weaken. When Zerg no longer wants to play this game with us, it will be the time of our demise!"
Although he had only fought Zerg once, Qin Chongxiao knew very well that Zerg was only testing the waters this time. It could be said that Zerg was fighting with a "playful" mentality. However, they had given their all. When Zerg was serious, their situation would be even more difficult than it was today!
Qin Yiming was about to say something to Qin Chongxiao when an earth-shattering explosion came from the northwest. Qin Yiming swallowed all his words back into his stomach!
"That's …"
Qin Yiming looked to the northwest in shock. His mouth was agape, but no words came out.
Qin Chongxiao, who was standing beside him, turned around and walked into the cockpit of the battlesuit again. He drove the battered battlesuit to the northwest!
"Enemy attack!
Zerg is invading from the northwest! "
Panicked cries rang out in the northwest district of Star Dragon City. The exhausted warriors who had just fought for a day and a night immediately dragged their exhausted bodies back to the battlefield. However, how could they be a match for the insectoid assault squad that had been recuperating for a long time? They were routed the moment they clashed, and rivers of blood flowed!
When the reinforcements arrived, almost half of the northwest had been set ablaze. People were fighting everywhere. At the same time, the southeast had also discovered Zerg's invasion. However, because of what happened in the northwest, they were repelled by the reinforcements who arrived in time!
After nearly half a day of fierce fighting, the defenders of Star Dragon City once again repelled Zerg's attack. This time, their losses were even more severe than the previous battle!
The entire Northwest City District had been reduced to rubble!
Gao En walked in the northwest. His face was pale as he looked at the blood and the corpses that had not been dealt with in time.
"Chairman."
The secretary ran over and reported to Gao En, "News came from the Long family. Zerg used a formation breaking device to open a gap in the Star Dragon Formation. That's how he managed to break into the northwest."
"Formation breaking device?" Gao En frowned, "What does that mean?"
"The formation breaking device is a tool that was developed specifically to counter defensive formations. It can temporarily break a corner of a defensive formation. It only lasts for a short period of time, but it's enough for Zerg to launch a surprise attack."
Hearing this explanation, Gao En asked, "Is there no way to counter it?"
The secretary's face was a little complicated. He said in a low voice, "The defense of the Star Dragon Formation is not something that can be broken by a normal formation breaking device. At least, with the technology of the Star Dragon Federation, we can't do it. However, the opponent is Zerg …"
The secretary didn't finish his words, but Gao En understood what the secretary meant. The technology of the Star Dragon Federation couldn't break the Star Dragon Formation, but with Zerg's technology, it wasn't difficult. In the end, it wasn't the Long family that couldn't do it. It was the entire Star Dragon Federation that couldn't do it!
"I understand. Tell Longfei for me. Tell him to rest well and not to work too hard."
Gao En pursed his lips and said to the secretary, "Tell the research department to do research on Zerg's formation breaking device as soon as possible. Give me a satisfactory answer in three days!"
"Yes, I understand."
…
"Star Dragon City is safe!"
Chen Changxing let out a long sigh of relief. His heart was finally at ease.
Lü Zi wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and sighed, "It really wasn't easy. I don't know how many people were sacrificed in this battle."
"From the situation of Zerg's warships, Zerg's attack this time should only be a probing attack. However, for Star Dragon City, this battle is extremely difficult to win."
Long Xiao's face was complicated. He said in a low voice, "If Zerg attacks like this every day, I don't know how long Star Dragon City can hold on."
"I have good news for all of you."
At this moment, Bai You walked over and said to everyone, "The Seventh Legion stationed in the Elf City has already contacted the First, Second, and Third Legions. The First, Second, and Third Legions will arrive at the Elf City this evening. Then, the four legions will join forces and head to Star Dragon City!"
Hearing the news brought by Bai You, everyone was extremely surprised. The First, Second, and Third Legions had actually withdrawn from the World Mountain?
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Bai You continued, "Zerg's men in the World Mountain are mainly arranged on the side of the Demon Realm. The defense on the side bordering the Star Dragon Federation is relatively weak. The First, Second, and Third Legions worked together to break out. Although there were some losses, it didn't affect them much."
"In addition, the Tenth Legion under Qin Jue has already set off for Star Dragon City. The Sixth and Ninth Legions are also moving with the Tenth Legion.
As for the other legions, there is no movement for the time being. "
"What about us?" Long Xiao looked at Bai You. "Should we follow the four legions?"
Bai You nodded. "We have already been incorporated into the Seventh Legion's volunteer army. We are now a member of the Seventh Legion."
