With Chi You personally entering the fray, the pressure on the players on the battlefield suddenly increased!
Four major demons were still attacking from four different directions, while the north was originally defended by General Han Fuyue against Kua Fu, but now Chi You's Demonic Soldiers aided from that direction.
The entire north was almost entirely shrouded in dark clouds!
General Han Fuyue's expression did not change much, only becoming a bit more solemn.
He had fought many tough battles in his life, and as a career soldier, he had long since disregarded life and death. For him, there was only one thing that needed his attention, which was to think of everything, regardless of the cost, to win!
"Maintain the line!"
At General Han Fuyue's command, the advancing heavy infantry in the front row halted their steps and switched to a defensive stance.
Meanwhile, the heavy armored cavalry, who had been indiscriminately slaughtering in the enemy ranks, slightly retreated to be ready to cover and support the infantry at any moment. However, they could not fall back entirely; as cavalry, they still needed to engage the enemy's forces.
If all the pressure was put on the infantry, the formation would likely collapse quickly.
Other heroes and players also noticed this immediately.
"Divert some forces to the north!"
Several heroes immediately issued orders, and troops such as General Deng Yuanjing's gunners, Emperor Taizu of Sheng's elite cavalry, and the Black Armor Army from Emperor Taizong of Liang were all redeployed from within the ranks, assembled, and rushed north.
Communication channels among the various player teams also exchanged messages rapidly, quickly supporting the northern battlefield.
But this was after all a giant battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people gathered, and such a level of rally and troop movement took a long time.
At this moment, all the front-line pressure rested on General Han Fuyue.
"Kill!"
Shouts of killing continuously came from the front line, and the heavy infantry, clad in footman's armor, had begun to combat Chi You's Demonic Soldiers.
A heavy infantryman with a long spear thrust it fiercely at a Demonic Soldier, but this time, even the spear imbued with righteous energy failed to pierce the Demonic Soldier, instead making a sharp metallic clashing sound.
"Clang!"
These Demonic Soldiers were wielding huge axes and managed to directly knock down the heavy infantryman clad in footman's armor!
"Bang! Bang bang!"
The players originally from the north also fired their guns, but these firearms, capable of demolishing Iron Floetus instantly, merely made holes in these Demon Soldiers.
Although some Demonic Qi dissipated from these soldiers, they continued marching forward!
"What is this, the demons can't play fair? Are they cheating?"
The players were both stunned and enraged; this was unfair!
Clearly, these Demonic Soldiers were no longer just appearing in the forms of various barbaric tribes from different historical snippets. Although these tribes were ferocious and brutal, and even more formidable due to demonic possession, they still fell within the category of humans.
But now, these Demonic Soldiers conjured by Chi You directly appeared as mythical figures from the Ancient Era, impervious to both swords and spears, with bronze heads and iron brows!
Their strength was also immensely overwhelming, wielding large axes that held ferociously destructive power against average armor.
The players' existing tactical system simply had no good countermeasure against them!
"How are we supposed to fight this?"
"The game designers are at it again, unhumanely! Can't we file a complaint?"
"Bring up the tiger squat cannon!"
"Hold the line, just hold on! It's a numbers game!"
"Where's Beichen? Ask him what we should do!"
The players' internal channels were in complete disarray, and now there seemed to be no better strategy than to simply withstand the attack.
However, most still believed that since the developers had designed this battlefield, there had to be a way to break through, so although morale was somewhat affected, they were still desperately holding on.
What they didn't know was that Meng Yuan was also completely puzzled.
"What's going on? How can it summon troops from ancient myths? Even the Demon Lord must follow some basic law!"
The consultant hurriedly transmitted, "Because the Demon Lord Chi You occupied a snippet from the Ancient Era, he could directly draw power from it and thus summon troops from ancient myths."
Meng Yuan was speechless, "What about us? Can I summon troops from ancient myths? Can you get me something like the 'Instructing Chariot'? How are we supposed to fight mythical creatures with ordinary swords and armor? This is absurd!"
The consultant responded, "Yes, but the cost is enormous!
"We have only so much power at hand, and the righteous energy that can be converted is also very limited. There are only two choices:
"First, we forcibly connect with the historical snippet from the Ancient Era, but this would be extremely costly, and even if a few heroes are summoned from the Ancient Era, because of the distance, it's hard to say how effective they could be.
"Second, use the existing power to strengthen these heroes and players, giving them greater power to outmatch the cleverness and annihilate these Demonic Soldiers!"
Meng Yuan was momentarily at a loss for words, "Neither of these sounds like reliable solutions!"
They were currently in a snippet from the Chu Dynasty, and if they forcibly connected with the Ancient Era, it meant crossing at least three or four large historical snippets. How much power could be transported there, and how much could come back?
But if they used the existing power to magnify these heroes first, it could leave them vulnerable to any further strategies from Demon Lord Chi You, potentially putting them on the defensive.
