Gonggong looked at it and sneered, "Ha, that's a problem between you and Xingtian!
"Xingtian doesn't even have a brain, and as for you, you've been spooked by the Restorers for so long that you've lost the capacity for rational judgment.
"Leave it to me, and maybe I can root out those Restorers lurking in the shadows!"
Feilian was almost furious enough to faint, but thankfully, Kua Fu quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Enough! Since we've all been entrusted with a task by the Demon Lord, we must complete our mission and destroy that Restorer right here!
"Stop arguing, both of you, and work together!
"Feilian, so what do you propose we do?"
Feilian sighed silently, feeling his blood pressure rise every day from working with these three great demons.
The four great demons under the Demon Lord, though strong in magic power, each had their own character flaws and couldn't stand each other.
Feilian, cunning and vigilant, excelled at self-preservation, but the slightest hint of danger made him panic and flee, never sticking around to aid his teammates.
Xingtian possessed incredible brute strength and would fight to the death even in dire situations, but was brainless.
Gonggong had explosive strength and impressive single-target killing power, but was stubborn as iron: where others wouldn't turn back until they hit a wall, Gonggong wouldn't until either his head or the wall was broken.
Kua Fu, with extraordinary endurance, was good at drawn-out battles and hadn't revealed any significant weaknesses yet. But Feilian knew that Kua Fu's biggest issue was his tendency to lose sight of the bigger picture and be easily distracted.
There was no helping it; this was probably a side effect of monsters stealing power from ancient figures.
They had gained incredible combat abilities from these ancient beings, but had also inherited the negative consequences.
After a moment of silence, Feilian said, "The key to this battle is to keep our composure!
"The Restorer is exceedingly well-hidden, so, we absolutely should not strike recklessly or concentrate our demonic forces too soon. Otherwise, the Restorer could gain the upper hand.
"We should engage the Restorer with our demon soldiers. No matter who appears to be the Restorer, we must keep our cool and not attack hastily!
"Our power is already stronger than the Restorer's. As long as we slowly drain their strength, when all these natives are almost entirely wiped out, leaving only one person, without a doubt, that will be the Restorer!"
Gonggong made a face of distaste: "Is that it?
"Setting aside the chances of your plan succeeding, even if it does, the losses will be so great—do you really think you'll have the nerve to report good news to the Demon Lord?"
Feilian was completely enraged: "Then what do you suggest we do!"
Gonggong looked at the army of players arrayed below: "I want to try to draw out that Restorer."
Feilian's face darkened—oh no, it was already a clump of black smoke: "Try, try, try, when will you ever take advice and stop being so stubborn!"
Kua Fu said, "I think we should listen to Feilian, he is, after all, more experienced."
Gonggong snorted: "Is it the experience of being thrashed by Restorers or the experience of running away?"
Feilian, so furious that his black smoke nearly burst: "I've had it with you..."
Kua Fu hurriedly intervened between the two: "Enough! Send the demon soldiers to strike at the Restorers!"
...
At this moment, atop a small hill, Li Hongyun had the Divine Machine players set up cannons, trebuchets, and other heavy weaponry, patiently awaiting the demon soldiers' attack.
And around the Divine Machine players, the infantry players and Cavalry players were also ready.
On the flanks of the formation were the Cavalry players, mostly made up of infantry and Ranger players. Amongst them, infantry players had stronger combat abilities, tasked primarily with leading heavy cavalry charges to break the enemy's formation, while Ranger players were more agile, serving as light cavalry for harassment.
Facing the battle line were the heavy infantry, mainly responsible for holding the line, partially made up of infantry and Ranger players with Cavalry statuses.
They were essentially dismounted infantry at this time, but ready to mount and chase depending on how the battle unfolded.
Besides these, there were also some infantry players mixed in.
The infantry players' combat abilities were unquestionable, but since the infantry trials had not been open for long, their numbers were limited—barely over ten thousand, not enough to form an army on their own.
Moreover, even though infantry players had high attack, speed, and agility, they were fragile as paper, likely to die after a couple of hits. Hence, it was best for them not to stand too close together but to be scattered within the infantry formations.
Every few paces there was one infantry player, acting like a steadying pin.
Scattered among them were a few assassin and scholar players.
Actually, many assassins, scholars, or Divine Machine players had been tasked with assaulting Anshi City. In the siege battle, assassin players could play a significant role.
As long as they managed to sneak into Anshi City, they could stay put and continually deliver damage to the city's enemies.
But some assassin players came to the battle formation; most were experts at taking advantage of chaos within the ranks, landing critical blows to key enemy figures under the cover of infantry and infantry players.
Scholar players, similarly, were dispersed in the formation to buff their allies and also to take on command tasks when necessary.
After all, scholar players were somewhat akin to support roles in MOBA games; with fewer operations required, they have a clearer view of the present situation.
As for the Divine Machine players led by Li Hongyun, they had to first attack the enemy with cannons from the front or gaps in the formation, then immediately retreat when the enemy got close, taking cover behind the infantry to fire their guns.
