Just as General Ward was hesitating, a dazzling white ray hit a spaceship in front of General Ward's main ship. The battleship suddenly caught fire and exploded soon after.
The shock wave generated by the explosion affected General Ward's flagship.
General Ward was so frightened that he shouted: "Back off, back off."
Dozens of warships quickly retreated to the sky above the Bevilia Plain.
General Ward originally wanted to take the credit first, but he ended up losing more than he gained, and he was so angry that his face turned blue.
General Ward ordered the spaceship to land and check the damage, only to find that of the more than 50 spaceships and warships he brought, more than ten were shot down in this wave of attacks, and more than 20 were damaged to varying degrees.
Soon, the spaceships of Nangong Wei and the two lords of the left road slowly flew over.
Nangong Wei and Zuo Lu came to General Ward's main battleship.
He had received news that General Ward's first wave of attack had failed.
He laughed in his heart. General Ward was too impatient. After the Fortress was shot down, he knew that the magic crystal cannon of the demon and human coalition forces was extremely powerful, and it was inlaid with top-grade white magic crystals.
He was sure that Ye Feng had already made preparations. He brought mainly transport ships this time, and there were not many warships. Using warships to attack Nanhuo City would definitely cause problems.
General Ward's failure proved his conclusion.
He knew it in his heart, but pretended to be puzzled: "General Ward, the firepower of your Ice City warships is the most powerful among our four lords. How could they be repelled by them? Is their defensive artillery so strong?"
General Ward's face turned pale, and he could hear a hint of gloating in Nangong Wei's voice.
He thought that the power of the South Fire City's defensive magic crystal cannon was so strong, and he hated Nangong Wei for not reminding him, causing him to suffer in silence.
He looked at Nangong Wei with disdain: "Lord Nangong, your Nanhuo City defense cannons are so powerful that they can shoot down my warships. How could you let the human race capture your city?"
Nangong Wei sighed lightly: "I heard that they used a magic teleportation array to teleport the soldiers into the city. Moreover, the power of our South Fire City's defense artillery is not as strong as you said. If I guess correctly, the demons have made modifications after they robbed my South Fire City, so it seems that it is not advisable to use spaceships and warships to attack South Fire City."
General Ward was so furious that his lungs were about to explode. "You, Nangong Wei, you knew that they had modified the defensive magic crystal cannon, but you didn't remind me at all and left me to die. If it wasn't for persuading Jiang Zhong to send troops, I wouldn't have helped you."
The lord on the left looked at the towering South Fire Mountain Peak. South Fire City and the mountain had merged into one. If he wanted to capture South Fire City, he had to flatten the entire South Fire Mountain Peak first.
He asked worriedly: "South Fire City is impregnable, so how can we attack South Fire City?"
"When Jiang comes back, he will find a way."
The demons set up a temporary command tent more than a hundred miles away from South Fire City. Nangong Wei, Zuo Lu, and General Huade gathered around the holographic sand table, discussing how to attack South Fire City.
Jiang Zhong's spaceship flew over slowly. Because he brought the most warriors, an army of 200,000, the number of spaceships he brought was also the largest among the four lords.
Jiang Zhong's army had a different aura, and was particularly spirited. They were all wearing bright silver armor, and looked majestic and awe-inspiring, as they were neatly arranged on the empty Bovilia Plain.
Jiang Zhong walked into the command post tent. According to the prior agreement, Jiang Zhong was the general and had the greatest command authority in this siege. General Huade, Nangong Wei, and Zuo Lu had to obey his command.
Jiang Zhong was wearing a majestic golden armor today, with a red cloak tied behind him and a long sword at his waist. He exuded majesty in his every move.
Nangong Wei didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw Jiang Zhong and his 200,000 troops. He was worried that Jiang Zhong would use various excuses not to send troops, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhong to really do what he said and come here in person with 200,000 troops.
He quickly reported General Ward's defeat in the first battle to Jiang Zhong, and reminded Jiang Zhong not to use the spacecraft to attack because the opponent's defensive magic crystal cannon was too powerful.
Jiang Zhong looked at General Huade with contempt and scolded him, "General Huade, our four armies have not yet gathered together, and you rashly attacked. This is a taboo in military strategy. I hope you will obey my orders in the future and not act on your own."
General Huade's face was livid. Not only did he lose many soldiers and generals, but he also had to endure Jiang Zhong's ridicule. He really wanted to walk away, but he was greedy for quick success and instant benefits, which caused a large number of casualties. He even hated himself.
He said unhappily, "I understand. Lord Jiang is right. I will be more careful in the future."
Seeing that Jiang Zhong didn't give them any face and directly taught General Huade a lesson, they didn't dare to say anything for fear of being implicated.
Jiang Zhong looked at the holographic sand table, his brows knitted together.
No wonder Ye Feng chose this city as his stronghold. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. One man can hold off ten thousand.
Jiang Zhong was also confused about the fall of Nanhuo City: "Master Nangong, Nanhuo City is the city that even the Golden Immortal could not conquer in the legend. It seems that the legend is not false."
Hearing Jiang Zhong praising his Nanhuo City, Nangong Wei looked very proud: "This is a legend from five thousand years ago. Master Jiang Zhong has also heard of it. It's just a legend."
Jiang Zhong carefully studied the holographic sand table, which completely outlined the majestic and towering pattern of Nanhuo City.
Jiang Zhong was amazed and said, "This is indeed the city with the strongest defense in our Demon Nine Realms. If I have an army of 100,000, even if there are a million enemies, I'm afraid they won't be able to break in."
General Ward suffered losses in the first wave of attacks and was scolded by Jiang Zhong, so he has been in a bad mood.
He said disdainfully: "Do I need to tell you this? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if we want to capture this city, we have to attack it from the air, from a high position."
Jiang Zhong sneered: "General Huade, have you lost your mind? You have already used spaceships to attack from mid-air. We all know the situation. You still insist on attacking from the air. I really doubt how you became a general."
Zuo Lu and Nangong Wei both tried hard to hold back their laughter. Jiang Zhong really showed no mercy to General Huade and scolded him like he was a subordinate.
General Huade's face turned pale, but he held back and said coldly, "Since Lord Jiang has determined that my method is wrong, please show me a way so that we can capture Nanhuo City."
Jiang Zhong said seriously: "I still have to use spaceships to attack. Facing such a solid city, as strong as a fortress, I can only use spaceships to attack from the air."
General Huade said unhappily, "I thought Lord Jiang had some clever method, but it turns out he still uses my old method. Why don't you say you are confused?"
