Ye Feiyang stood in mid-air, his expression becoming extremely serious as he watched the approaching beast horde.
The number of Star Beasts was somewhat larger than that of the humans.
There were over one hundred and thirty, among which one hundred and twenty-three were Lord Level, and thirteen were Monarch Level.
The human side, however, had only ninety-three at Lord Level and just eleven at Monarch Level.
Seeing this, Ye Feiyang said in a deep voice to the eleven Soul Master-level experts behind him, "Summon the Lord-level Guardian Beasts."
No one objected upon hearing this; the numerical disadvantage was significant, and without summoning a second Guardian Beast, it would be difficult to contend with the Star Beasts.
As a result, the number of Lord-level Guardian Beasts on the human side immediately rose to one hundred and four.
The realm of these eleven Lord-level Guardian Beasts had all reached the Lord-level Peak, and their combat experience was extremely rich, making it no problem to deal with two mid-stage Lord-level Star Beasts simultaneously.
If they used the previous strategy, they could at least stabilize the situation.
The issue causing Ye Feiyang the most headache now was that their side had two fewer Monarch-level Guardian Beasts than the opposition.
Don't underestimate a difference of merely two; the strength gap between Monarch-level beasts is generally small, making it almost impossible to fight two against one.
This is because Monarch-level Guardian Beasts have mastered their strength to the extreme, and skills are no longer important; they value more the control over Star Power in the universe.
At this time, two elders arrived at the city wall side by side, exchanged glances, and greeted each other with a smile.
"Old Wu, we haven't seen each other for years; I never thought you were still alive."
"Old Li, if you're not dead, how could I be?"
"Humph, if anyone's going to die first, it's going to be you."
The two bantered back and forth, almost seeming about to start a fight.
Seeing this, Wang Haichuan quickly intervened, saying, "What brings you two here?"
The two elders exchanged a glare upon hearing this.
Old Li pouted, indicating to Old Wu to answer.
Old Wu, seeing this, grumbled, "If we weren't here, could this city be defended?"
Wang Haichuan felt a bit embarrassed, scratched his nose, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the elders to lend us your strength."
Upon hearing this, the two elders did not waste any words and directly summoned their respective Guardian Beasts.
If Chu Chen were here, he would have immediately recognized the identity of the two elders.
The elder surnamed Wu was the guardian of the treasure vault at the City Lord's Mansion.
While the elder surnamed Li was the one who distributed newbie packages at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School.
Both of their Guardian Beasts were at the late stage of Monarch Level.
With the addition of these two, Ye Feiyang's worries immediately vanished.
These two were legendary figures in their day, but as they grew older, they lost their former ambition and chose to settle in Celestial Star City to enjoy their twilight years.
The Beast King, seeing this, immediately became furious, as their advantage was completely gone, and no further waiting would change that.
At this moment, Chu Chen and the others had already finished gathering all their spoils of war.
Seeing this, Sun Ming smiled and said, "Classmates, thank you for your hard work. Let's head back to school now."
Chu Chen and the others all shook their heads in unison.
Seeing this, Sun Ming asked in confusion, "Why? You don't want to return?"
"We want to go to the city wall. We just got word that the Monarch-level battle has begun; it must be at the decisive moment," Chu Chen said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Sun Ming naturally refused.
"No, it's too dangerous there. You are the future of Celestial Star City, and you can't easily risk your lives."
Chu Chen, upon hearing this, did not explain but instead asked in a deep voice, "If the city falls, can we escape?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Ming was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "It would be very difficult. Fine, I'll accompany you to take a look at the Monarch-level battle, in the hope that it will provide you with some combat experience that can serve as a motivator."
Everyone was instantly overjoyed upon hearing this.
Under Sun Ming's leadership, they quickly arrived at the city wall.
At this moment, the city wall was extremely quiet, as if no battle had ever occurred here.
However, the still-wet blood on the ground and the pale faces of the Beast Masters served to constantly remind everyone that what had just happened was all too real.
The corpses of Star Beasts on the city wall had already been cleared away, and the wounded Beast Masters were taken down for treatment.
The remaining Beast Masters anxiously watched the battle outside the city walls.
Upon reaching the city wall, Chu Chen did not focus on the Monarch-level battle; instead, he immediately searched for Father Chu.
Scanning the area, Chu Chen finally spotted Father Chu in a corner on the south side of the city.
There, he was hunched over atop the wall, fixated on the battle outside the city.
Even from a distance, Chu Chen could feel Father Chu's exhaustion.
Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and hurried over without hesitation.
When he was about ten meters away from Father Chu, he noticed that Father Chu had bandages on both his arms and legs, with blood faintly seeping through.
Hastening his pace, Chu Chen called out, "Dad, are you okay?"
Father Chu turned to see his son and furrowed his brow, saying sternly, "What could be wrong with me? Get down from here, you rascal! It's too dangerous."
Chu Chen smiled and replied, "It's alright. If there's danger, you'll protect me. I'm not afraid when you're around."
Hearing this, Father Chu burst into laughter.
"True enough. Stay by my side then."
Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh as well.
They say nothing is as piercing as sincerity, and in this case, flattery holds perfectly true. The old saying doesn't lie.
A middle-aged man nearby teased Father Chu, saying quietly, "Captain, your son sure knows how to talk."
Father Chu rolled his eyes with mock annoyance.
He understood the implication in the man's words.
Chu Chen fetched a few bottles of elixir pills from his Space Belt and handed them to Father Chu, saying, "Dad, these are Healing Pills; distribute them to the uncles."
Father Chu took the bottles without hesitation, popped one into his mouth, and then tossed the bottle to the man beside him, saying, "Distribute these among everyone."
Though Father Chu's tone was calm, a smile played on his dusky face.
Having a son who gives one face naturally brings joy.
"Dad, how's the situation on the battlefield now?" Chu Chen asked in a low voice.
"The fight has been going on for a while. Both sides are equally matched; it's unlikely to have a quick resolution."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen turned his attention to the battlefield, finding the situation to be just as Father Chu described.
Soon, he spotted two familiar figures.
"Elder Li, Elder Wu, what are they doing here? I guessed right; these two are certainly extraordinary."
Hearing Chu Chen mumbling, Father Chu was surprised and asked, "You know these two?"
Chu Chen nodded, saying, "I do."
Chu Chen recounted how he had met the two elders to Father Chu.
"You kid, you're lucky. These two have been renowned figures for ages. If you get the chance, interact with them more; any advice from them would be more valuable than months of hard training." Father Chu advised quietly.
Chu Chen nodded repeatedly, thinking that indeed, such esteemed teachers should not be missed.
