Behind them,
were Chen Rushi, Wei Ruyan, Qiao Le, Zhao Xuehui, and Yang Binyi among others.
They were considered the second-line reserves.
Although their cultivation levels were not high, they could barely manage to fight.
At that moment, Patriarch Chen, Chen Xiuhe, also ascended into the sky.
The crowd was startled at the sight.
"Patriarch Chen, why have you come?"
"Yes! Patriarch Chen, it’s too dangerous here. You should hurry back!"
The crowd tried to dissuade him.
Unafraid of the deities filling the sky, Chen Xiuhe simply smiled faintly at their words.
"At this critical juncture of life and death, how can I stand by and watch you all bleed and sacrifice at the forefront?"
"But..."
Chen Xiuhe waved his hand, "I know my cultivation level is modest, but even if it costs me this old life, I cannot allow these scoundrels to run amok!"
Just then,
bursts of laughter came from behind, from within the city.
"Well said, Old Chen, I’ve always looked down on you, but what you said today is really damn gratifying!"
As the words were spoken, a figure shining with light flew into the sky, revealing an old general in military attire.
"General Wang!" someone exclaimed in astonishment.
This old general, Wang Zhong, was a retired military heavyweight who had a good relationship with Chen Xiuhe.
Seeing his arrival, Chen Xiuhe gave a slight smile, "How come you, old immortal, have also come?"
Wang Zhong chuckled, looking at the Hua Clan warriors fighting bloodily and said lightly, "Although I’m old, I cannot stand idly by and watch those kids bleed in the front while I hide in safety. Besides, I’ve lived long enough. It’s good to leave some sparks for our Hua Clan!"
"And it’s not just me! All our old buddies have come!"
As his voice trailed off, dozens of old men in military uniform, with ages either grey-haired but still standing tall and proud, appeared in the sky.
Seeing this, Chen Xiuhe laughed heartily, "Good! You truly deserve to be my friends, Chen Xiuhe’s friends!"
Wang Zhong laughed too, "I wasn’t scared of imperialist gunfire back in the day; I refuse to believe that these damned offspring can stir up the heavens!"
Then he turned to the crowd behind him and shouted, "Brothers, today we’re going to show these wretched curs what a real iron army looks like!"
"Yes!" The crowd responded with a resounding agreement.
Then, these white-haired veterans swiftly got into formation.
"Veterans Brigade, charge!"
With that said, the group of veterans charged forward with murderous intent.
Witnessing this scene,
whether it was the people in the battlefield or the soldiers sitting in command at the rear, all fell silent.
Old soldiers never die; they just fade away slowly.
And when faced with a crisis threatening the Hua Clan’s very existence, these veterans who once dominated the battlefields gathered and set out once again.
Even if this charge might mean they would never return!
But still, they were without regret.
The brutal slaughter didn’t stop because of the appearance of the veterans.
After just a single encounter, the group led by Wang Zhong lost more than half of its members.
Yet their presence provided a much-needed respite for the already exhausted crowd.
But at that moment, another dozen deities suddenly descended.
The situation turned overwhelmingly one-sided in an instant.
Everyone watching via satellite broadcast saw this scene, and all were engulfed in deep despair.
How was this battle to be fought?
Just as chaos fully engulfed the sky,
a tidal wave appeared in the distant horizon, rushing forward and arriving in an instant.
People could then see that atop the leading wave was none other than the Sea Monster Princess, Jiang Mei’er, along with countless members of the Demon Race.
The timely arrival of these reinforcements thrilled everyone present.
Jiang Mei’er, without hesitation, launched a fierce attack.
The tidal waves filled the sky, encircling the Divine Guards.
