He saw Fang Zhen, then glanced at the warbow nearby.
At that moment, Fang Zhen also considered using the warbow to shoot down the Poisonous Soaring Ghosts one by one, but after a moment’s thought, he decided it wouldn’t work.
’There are at least a thousand Poisonous Soaring Ghosts. How many can I shoot down with just one bow?’
’Besides, the iron arrows for the warbow are limited. I could probably only take down eight or nine of them, which wouldn’t make a decisive difference.’
From the rear, West also rushed onto the city wall.
West saw that the flagstones of the city wall had been corroded, leaving pits over ten centimeters deep. The surface was now uneven, like a huge honeycomb briquette, or even a sponge.
Seeing such a scene of devastation, West couldn’t help but let out an anxious cry.
The aberrations besieging the city below the wall seemed to sense that the defenders above had suffered a devastating blow.
At that moment, more aberrations rushed out from the distance outside Lanxi City, letting out waves of roars as they began to charge.
"Our soldiers can’t defend the wall anymore! If they come out, they’ll be easily targeted by a volley from those Poisonous Soaring Ghosts in the sky! We have to find a way to deal with them, or the wall will be breached!" Alexander shouted.
Alexander’s eyes were red, but for a moment, he had no idea what to do. West and the others were also at a complete loss.
Just then, a sharp glint flashed in Fang Zhen’s eyes. A plan had suddenly formed in his mind.
’The Poisonous Soaring Ghosts are flying at an altitude of less than two kilometers, which is within the range of the Blood Essence Stone alchemy bomb.’
’What if I use the Blood Essence Stone alchemy bomb as bait to draw the aberrations together, and then spray them with the Blood Burst Secret Medicine?’
"I have a plan," Fang Zhen shouted.
"What is it?" West and Alexander looked at Fang Zhen at the same time.
Many others also turned to look at him.
Because of the recent volley from the Poisonous Soaring Ghosts, the Curse Sealers below felt reinforcements were needed on the wall. Many who had been resting, including high-ranking members of the Whig Society, had come up. Karen, Pat, and Laura, whom Fang Zhen had met before, were among them.
Now, hearing he had a solution, all their eyes were fixed on him.
’Everyone else was helpless. What kind of plan could Fang Zhen possibly have?’
"I need someone smart who can quickly learn how to operate the drone that sprayed the gasoline earlier. They’ll have to follow my instructions precisely and coordinate with me. Who can do that?" Fang Zhen called out.
"I can!" a voice rang out. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Fang Zhen looked over and saw it was Karen, whom he’d met before and who had apparently been withdrawn for some time.
Seeing Fang Zhen look his way, Karen cast aside any awkward hesitation.
In a siege like this, the battle between the Whig Society and the Eternal Night Council’s aberrations was a matter of life and death. In such circumstances, no one had time for petty concerns or fragile emotions. There was only the tempering of blood and fire, only the grim glory and smoke of weapons and war.
Seeing Karen reply, Fang Zhen nodded.
’There’s definitely no problem with Karen’s intelligence.’
"Come here. I’ll teach you how to use my equipment."
With a wave of his hand, a subspace rift appeared in the air. The rift rapidly expanded from a black hole the size of a teacup to the size of a round table.
A moment later, Fang Zhen pulled two drones from the subspace.
One was the drone that had previously sprayed gasoline, and the other was a drone filled with Blood Burst Secret Medicine.
Karen walked over, and Fang Zhen quickly taught him how to calibrate and control the drone and how to make it take off.
It has to be said that for an ordinary person, learning something new can be difficult and present all sorts of obstacles.
But whether it was because of his high intelligence or potential unlocked in a critical moment, Karen learned how to operate the drone with incredible speed, after just a few sentences of instruction.
"What’s your plan?" Alexander asked as he walked over to Fang Zhen.
With a glint in his eye, Fang Zhen waved his hand and retrieved a Blood Essence Stone from a separate space within his King’s Belt.
This Blood Essence Stone was the Word of Defilement: Evil Power.
Fang Zhen explained, "My inspiration came from this very alchemy bomb. It has the ability to constantly attract aberrations, drawing them toward this essence stone."
"If we use this Blood Essence Stone, activate it, and place it on a drone, we can gather all the aberrations in one place."
"I need a tough rope net, something that can hold this stone and be hung from my drone. Does anyone have something like that?" Fang Zhen asked the people around him.
While everyone else was exchanging uncertain glances, at a loss for what to do, Fang Zhen was able to produce a solution. At that moment, his authority and influence soared.
Although they didn’t know exactly what Fang Zhen was planning, the others had no better ideas, so they all supported him.
Nearby, West immediately stepped forward and said, "I have something like that."
As he spoke, he took out a metal net bag from his person.
Fang Zhen examined the net bag closely. It looked remarkably similar to the threads that bound together the metal plates on West’s broken Longsword.
West said, "This is an Alchemy Net. It’s extremely tough. Anything caught inside it absolutely cannot escape. I used to use it to capture aberrations."
"It can shrink or expand, so it can definitely hold that red stone in your hand."
