"Boom!"
A large hole was directly smashed into the stone statue, and it stumbled back a few steps.
The stone statue, feeling no pain, brought down a stone fist. Yun Meng, seeing the statue's injuries, assumed its strength was below his own and gathered his true qi for a head-on clash.
Another fierce collision occurred. The stone statue's right arm detached, and Yun Meng was sent flying backward.
"Not good, this stone statue has at least the strength of an early Nascent Soul!"
"Cough, cough, cough," and through the Golden Core's transmission, he informed every member of District Thirteen.
"Giant stone statues, slow-moving. Although their attack power is astonishing, their defense is extremely weak. Otherwise, its entire arm wouldn't have broken after exchanging one punch with a peak Golden Core."
District Thirteen found a new strategy. Over a dozen early Golden Core experts could quickly break through this formation by dealing with one stone statue simultaneously.
Yun Meng immediately passed down the order.
Soon, large chunks of stone statue debris littered the vast plaza. This was the power of cooperation.
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Before, bullets hitting the giant stone statues were mostly useless, leaving only a small hole or two. Even with ordinary armed personnel focusing fire on one area, it would take five minutes to break through.
Yun Meng thought the crisis was over, but unexpectedly...
The platform shook again. Openings appeared on the ground of the tunnel, in the holes where the giant stone statues had emerged. Many long spears then appeared.
A whole legion of innate-level stone servants poured out from the holes. At a glance, their numbers were ten times that of the Seventh District.
— — —
A massive army of a hundred thousand stone servants attacked, a force that the Seventh District could no longer contend with.
This was Yun Meng's first time experiencing such a large-scale event.
Rows upon rows of stone servants poured out from the four large holes, less than a thousand meters away from them.
"It looks like they're about to charge..." Chen Fan was also greatly shocked by the sheer number of stone servants.
Even Chen Fan, who was a quasi-god level, would eventually die of exhaustion if he had to fight so many innate stone servants alone.
Bai Lin, seeing this number, was also stunned.
Bai Lin watched as the stone servants began to gather their power.
She shouted loudly, "Yun Meng, organize the shooting quickly, you idiot! What are you standing around for!!!"
Yun Meng, at the forefront, snapped back to reality after hearing Bai Lin's reprimand.
"All personnel, take cover behind the Golden Core experts. Golden Core experts, deploy your shields immediately."
Following Yun Meng's roar,
Heeding Yun Meng's command, many Golden Core experts stepped to the front and deployed their true qi shields. Behind them, various armed personnel and members below the Golden Core realm raised their District Thirteen rifles.
"Fire!" Yun Meng gave the order.
Countless bullets rained down.
At the same time, the stone servants in front raised their long spears and charged rapidly towards District Thirteen.
Rank after rank of stone servants were shot and shattered, but more and more stone servants continued to emerge from below, charging in an orderly fashion towards the people of District Thirteen. The bullets from District Thirteen continued to be fired relentlessly, with groups reloading in succession, the gunfire never ceasing.
To prevent a major disaster, Yun Meng had taken enough ammunition from the depot to equip ten thousand people for two hours of continuous firing.
"Seven hundred meters."
"Five hundred meters."
"Three hundred meters."
As they swept through, by the time the stone servants reached three hundred meters from their formation, an estimated forty thousand had fallen.
The remaining sixty thousand stone servants were still charging!
Dust was kicked up all over the ground.
"Dada da da da da."
The gunfire from District Thirteen continued endlessly.
Spent casings fell to the ground, and bullets flew towards the stone servants. The cracking of the stone servants was the most beautiful melody on this "Eternal Platform."
"Two hundred meters."
"One hundred meters."
"Seventy meters."
The number of stone servants rapidly decreased, dropping to about forty thousand at the front lines.
No more stone servants emerged from the four large holes.
"Fifty meters."
"Twenty meters."
"Boom..."
Innumerable stone servants crashed against the defensive formation of Golden Core experts at the front.
The powerful impact forced all the Golden Core experts of the Seventh District back by three meters.
The stone servants facing them let out a low, fierce roar.
"This is the pressure."
The Golden Core experts withstood the onslaught of the stone servants for a full five minutes.
During these five minutes of defense, the rear shooters quickly reduced the number of stone servants to just over ten thousand.
Then they were all blown away.
The true qi shields shattered.
At this moment, the Golden Core experts of the Seventh District created a battle that would be recorded in the annals of District Thirteen.
Chen Fan saw the stone servants rapidly approaching and understood that at close range, guns were the least effective weapon. He shouted, "Seventh District! Draw your swords! Fight to the death!"
Although guns were accurate and fast at closer ranges, if the distance was too great, guns lost their advantage, and they could be stabbed to death by stone servants who got too close.
"Kill!" The people of the Seventh District drew the steel swords they received upon entering District Thirteen.
The post-heaven experts at the front drew their swords and began to fight.
With a unified surge, they entered the stone servants and began to hack.
The armed personnel in the rear also drew their swords and charged forward.
As Bai Lin prepared to draw her steel sword and charge forward,
She was grabbed by Chen Fan.
