Chapter 406: Start of Cloud Peak's defence
The smell of blood wasn’t very thick, but for the evolved with sharp senses, it stimulated one’s nose and reminded them that the battle was not over.
Cloud Peak rejected the Counter Cloud Peak Alliance’s conditions and faced the first large-scale attack today.
This battle started a dozen days ago, but they still focused on clearing mutated lifeforms around Cloud Peak to create some needed siege weapons and establish a plan. But they had cut off Cloud Peak’s connection with the outside world. Both sides had many minor clashes, especially when trying to build their camp and seal the area.
But this was the first time they directly attacked the walls of Cloud Peak.
This not only meant the start of the siege, but it was also the first base attack in Ying City.
The intensity caught everyone off guard.
This included Cloud Peak, as well as the Counter Cloud Peak Alliance.
When night fell, many core members of the Counter Cloud Peak Alliance were gathered here. But the atmosphere was very intense.
“We only fought for two hours, and do you know how many of us died?”
Lou Xiaoling wasn’t as young and free-spirited as half a year ago. What replaced it was a round but cruel face.
One faction in the Counter Cloud Peak Alliance was her’s, or rather, the guy she joined.
It was the person that Xia Lei mentioned- Unicorn King Freedom Army.
As a four-star evolved, she didn’t have much rights to speak. But she represented her guy, the short, fatty Pang Cheng, who was 1.7 meters tall and nearly 150 kilograms.
Seeing no one speak, she slapped the tabulated battle report, “Two hundred people! Two hundred in just two hours! As for Cloud Peak, they didn’t even have 50 losses. Why? Because you all didn’t put in effort!”
“Woman, you are wrong to say that. We have all had deaths; how can you say we didn’t put in effort? Moreover, today is the first day of the battle. We need to pass the trap region, so, normally, we have more losses. Don’t be too emotional; you will get old easily like that.”
A guy in a black shirt sat on a chair and looked very casual. He even had a nail clipper and was fixing his nails.
Lou Xiaoling was furious. If this were an internal meeting, she would have exploded. But she was not facing ordinary people; it was one of the saints of Soul Merchant, the five-star expert Sound Iron.
“Should we continue to fight this way? How long would it take?”
“Pang Cheng, what are your thoughts?”
Little Nine spoke up and asked the big-sized fatty who sat there like a mountain.
“Keke.” His voice was loud, and so was his laughter, “Aren’t there still small factions? If they don’t work hard now, will they wait until we enter before they work hard?”
Sound Iron told Lou Xiaoling, “Look at what your man thinks; as for you, speak less if you have nothing to say.”
“Are you looking down on me?”
“Should I respect you?”
“Okay!”
Wen Hong was impatient. Although she was stronger than Little Nine and did things her way, but in such an environment, she gave Little Nine face.
“I will lead the troops tomorrow. What does Little Nine think?” Wen Hong explained, “Even if we want those small factions to be cannon fodder, we must be logical. Others aren’t fools, and they will run.”
Little Nine thought about it and nodded before looking towards Sound Iron and Pang Cheng.
“Beauty Wen in the morning, me in the afternoon. We will take turns to consume Cloud Peak’s forces while also reducing the number of those who are here to benefit. When both sides have huge losses, we will work together to attack viciously. I don’t believe that five-star Park Xiuying is so strong to block the four of us.”
Everyone was silent. Everyone knew that the combat strength of Cloud Peak’s core members was really strong. Three were enough to threaten a five-star evolved. The reason why they didn’t want to charge now was because they were afraid that Cloud Peak would slice them apart and eat them one by one. They also feared the crystal weapons, so they needed cannon fodder.
“That is decided.”
Pang Cheng found it hard to stand up. He hugged Lou Xiaoling, who was as tall as him but much thinner before leaving.
Looking at their uncoordinated walking, Sound Iron laughed.
Little Nine and Wen Hong were stunned before leaving with a weird expression.

Cloud Peak was also very busy. However, they had an advantage in being the defending side; there was only one path they had to defend. But there were still many losses. Park Xiuying was busy and only had time late at night.
“Are they settled?”
Liang Chuyin passed Teacher Park a meat jerky. This was tough, but it wasn’t much for evolved’s teeth. They could quickly replenish energy and were easy to keep. Cloud Peak followed Ye Zhongming’s instructions to keep many of them. They were finally put to use.
“There is no more fresh food?” Park Xiuying bit the beef jerky and asked casually.
“En, they have surrounded us for over ten days, and the fresh food is gone.”
“How long can we last for?” the beautiful teacher waved the jerky and asked.
“A month is no problem; that is when we have full members if we considered… The deaths, we can last even longer.”
The two of them were solemn when they said that. They suffered close to three-digit deaths, which worried the core members.
“Right, these are for you.”
Liang Chuyin handed three potions to Park Xiuying. They were Intermediate Mental Energy Recovery Potions. It wasn’t cheap; one bottle needed a few dozen level-two crystals.
“Xia Bai got them when she got back yesterday.”
Park Xiuying mentioned that Sister Xia Bai was amazing before keeping them. This thing was really useful for her.
“So… Can we hold on?” The beautiful teacher rubbed the bottles and asked.
Killing energy flashed in her eyes, “Even if we can’t hold on, we will make them lose skin!”
The two of them silently ate meat jerky. A guy appeared in their minds at the same time.

“The time is a little rushed based on what you say.”
Peace Hotel’s boss lit a cigar and frowned.
Ye Zhongming found out some things from him. This place wasn’t too far from Ying City, but to get there, they had to pass through Ying City.
“I don’t have that much time. I have to get back within three days. I need to see at least a thousand warriors, then. If you can do it, I will give you a huge fortune. If not, the people here will follow me. I will kill those who don’t.”
This Cannibal Chain branch leader didn’t expect Ye Zhongming to be so firm. He thought about it before saying finally, “Depends on how much you can pay.”
He smiled and loosened one bag by his feet.
