Chapter 416: Exaggerated Battle Damage Ratio
Guan Shan released [Ice Thorn Stab] three times in a row, creating a silver vacuum area in the western section of the city wall.
He alone killed hundreds of monsters in just five minutes.
If [Rage of Revenge] had not lasted only five minutes, Guan Shan, who had unlimited supernatural power reserves, could have pushed the battle line back on the battlefield where the Venerable was watching the big monsters and not coming out.
A silver line fell from the air and connected steadily to Guan Shan's back, pulling him back violently.
With this momentum, Guan Shan turned around and accelerated and flew into the tower without a trace of lingering battle.
"Hold on for fifteen minutes, I can do it again." Guan Shan said his last "last words" and fell to the ground with a plop, losing all his breath.
"Old Li...did you see it just now?"
"Where is the peak of the sixth level?"
"Are you sure Guan Shan is not a venerable?"
"Is that the combat power of the peak of the sixth level?"
Wang Sheng stared at the shooting port in a daze, half talking to himself and half asking in confusion.
In the range of his sight, everything was white.
He didn't even have time to show off to Guan Shan that he and his companions had successfully broken through the fourth level and became walkers like him.
He was slapped hard by reality several times.
The gap between Wang Sheng and Guan Shan did not narrow, but widened.
"I'm sure." Li Yunxuan leaned against the shooting port, taking advantage of the short break Guan Shan had won, and tried to recover his physical strength.
"Guanshan is still using his own superpowers, but his superpower reserves are too terrifying, so he can exert a combat power similar to that of a Venerable."
"A true Venerable can draw the energy of heaven and earth for his own use. If there is no other Venerable to snatch energy from him, then he can completely break through the limitations of the flesh and use power far beyond the upper limit of his own superpowers."
"But then again..." Li Yunxuan turned his face slightly and looked at the "corpse" on the ground, "Guanshan is very, very close to the realm of a Venerable."
"Even...closer than I used to be."
Everyone in Class 197 looked at Guanshan with envy, and at the same time, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
It seemed that the corpse was a mountain that reached the top of the dome, and no matter how they climbed, they would never be able to catch up.
"Okay, don't think too much for now, don't be distracted on the battlefield, just get through this wave first, and discuss it later if you have anything to say." Li Yunxuan clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention back again.
The demons had gradually broken through the ice blade jungle left by Guan Shan, and gradually rushed towards the tower.
The second wave of the demons' offensive lasted for 12 hours.
From the night of the first day to the second day, it was not until noon that it stopped.
During this period, Guan Shan used [Rage of Revenge] six times in total, and until he was replaced by his comrades who were changing guards, he had killed nearly a thousand demons.
With the defense formation behind him, Guan Shan had almost no worries, and could use [Rage of Revenge] on the battlefield without worrying about being surrounded by the enemy when he was dying.
He was like Zhao Zilong on Changbanpo, going in and out of the demon army seven times, as if he was in an empty space.
The exaggerated movement not only attracted the attention of the demons, but even Wang Xilong, the commander-in-chief of the first line of defense, noticed the battle situation in the west tower.
He sent someone to learn about the situation.
After learning Guan Shan's name, Wang Xilong immediately felt that everything was normal.
If the disciple of that master does not have such ability, it would be abnormal.
After the war, the demons left behind piles of corpses, retreating into the scarlet demon tide like a tide.
Three fire-related venerables joined forces and burned for nearly two hours before reducing the size of the corpse mountain to the foot of the city.
The billowing smoke rushed straight into the sky, almost covering the sun.
The entire Dawn City was filled with a strong smell of blood and a pungent smell of burning.
The human coalition achieved great results in the first two waves of the demons' offensive.
The battle loss ratio reached an exaggerated one to eleven, which gave all the soldiers who participated in the battle a shot of adrenaline.
The fact is indeed as that master said, the demons are also flesh and blood, and they are not invincible monsters.
They will bleed, retreat, and die, there is nothing to be afraid of!
In the temporary station of Class 197.
Guan Shan looked at Li Yunxuan, who had a serious expression on his face. While stuffing food into his mouth, he asked vaguely, "Old Li, with a casualty ratio of 1:11, why do you still have this expression?"
"Aren't we winning a big victory?"
Li Yunxuan leaned on the edge of the dining table with a tired look on his face, carefully looked around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to this side and no one was eavesdropping, he slowly spoke.
"I just feel that something is a little bit wrong..."
Wang Sheng moved his butt and moved closer to Li Yunxuan, "Old Li, do you think the demons retreated too easily?"
"No, in the first few days of the demon tide, the demons would organize tentative attacks to find out the focus of our defense and the deployment of our forces. This is normal."
Li Yunxuan unconsciously picked at the food in the lunch box and said with some concern, "What I am worried about is why the higher-ups activated the defense formation on the first day, and it was running at full power."
"What do you mean, Lao Li? If we don't open the defensive formation, won't our advantage in defending the city be gone?" Liang Yuxin asked in confusion.
"I have been paying attention to the number of demons killed by the Demon Slayer Division in major battles over the years."
"From the last demon tide to today, according to the documented situation, if we use the fourth-level crystal core as the standard, the Demon Slayer Division has captured about 800,000."
"Even if we count those that were concealed and not reported, it will not exceed one million."
"Do you know how many crystal cores are consumed in a day when the defense formation of Dawn City is turned on at full power?" Li Yunxuan asked his students.
Everyone looked at each other for a while and shook their heads.
"At least 200,000." Li Yunxuan raised two fingers and said in a low voice.
Everyone stopped eating and took a breath of cold air.
Guan Shan seemed to realize what Li Yunxuan was worried about. After thinking for a moment, he took over the conversation and said, "Old Li, do you mean that our crystal core reserves may not last for seven days?"
Li Yunxuan nodded, counted on his fingers and said, "Let's assume that the battle yesterday was open for half a day, that's also a consumption of 100,000."
"Add to that the rune cannon, communication array, and the teleportation array for transporting troops, as well as the consumption required for the medical team and combatants to restore their abilities."
"If we maintain the opening intensity of the defense array yesterday, we will consume all the crystal cores in reserve in five days at most, or four and a half days."
"And every time the monster tide, the last three days of the offensive are the strongest."
"At that time, we were exhausted, out of ammunition and food, and the defense array lost its effect, while the monster clan was at its peak."
"What should we do then?"
All the people in Class 197 fell into silence, and subconsciously turned their heads to the highest command tower in the center of Dawn City.
The haze that had just dissipated slightly crept into everyone's mind again.
There were many people who had the same doubts as Li Yunxuan.
Chi Xuming, the former commander of the logistics team and the head of the Guards Regiment, rushed to the headquarters in a panic...
...
