I have a city in another world

Chapter 6943 A New Round of Clash
The destruction of the alchemical golem greatly boosted the morale of the temple's forces, who fought tenaciously against the enemy's attack.

Being situated on the bridge and surrounded and attacked by enemies from both sides, the temple's forces were indeed in a difficult situation.

The enemy's ambush at this location was clearly carefully chosen in an attempt to increase the chances of success.

The facts prove that their choice of position was quite correct, and the temple forces were indeed extremely passive in the battle.

However, once the giant golem was destroyed, the balance of power began to tilt, and the morale of the Wizard Alliance was affected.

The alliance cultivators had been planning for a long time, and their methods certainly went beyond these; soon, a large number of beast-shaped alchemical golems appeared.

These were all combat golems, racing wildly through the streets, heading straight for the temple's procession.

There were also some flying golems, hanging like bats on the back walls of tall buildings along the way, which flew toward the temple procession on the bridge as the war orders were issued.

The bird-like divine servants hovering in the air and the beast-like divine servants walking on the ground roared as they charged toward the enemy.

Just then, many more mutated monsters rapidly approached, clearly lured there by some means.

Surrounded by numerous powerful enemies, the temple's forces are in a precarious situation.

Just as everyone was filled with worry, the giant statue in the center of the city suddenly shone brightly, and its vast divine power spread in all directions.

The mutated monster, which attacked amidst the chaos, was surrounded by rising smoke, and specks of embers flickered across its body as it ran.

Some of the weaker mutated monsters had begun to burn their skin, and dazzling fireballs filled the streets.

Unable to withstand the onslaught, the mutated monsters retreated back into buildings or ran towards the outskirts of the city, emitting mournful howls of despair.

From the vortex above the temple, groups of figures kept emerging; reinforcements from the divine kingdom had arrived.

Most of them are bird-like servants of the gods, with pure white wings on their backs, yet possessing human form and handsome appearance.

They were dressed in silver armor and carried unknown weapons as they moved back and forth between buildings.

Once the enemy's trail is locked, the bird-man servants will immediately launch an attack, with loud noises constantly emanating from the buildings along the way.

Those enemies who were hiding in the bunkers and attacking the temple troops immediately suffered a fatal blow.

Many uniquely shaped flying machines also descended from the divine realm to attack the enemy's hidden structures.

The building that was hit collapsed with a roar, and plumes of smoke shot into the sky, leaving the enemies hiding inside with nowhere to escape.

The alliance, which had initially held a slight advantage, was utterly defeated, and many enemies withdrew from the battlefield.

If you hesitate any longer, you will surely die.

With the enemy forces collapsing like a house of cards, the pressure on the temple forces was instantly relieved, allowing them to launch an even more ferocious counterattack.

This is a life-or-death competition. It won't end just because the enemy retreats. The temple will not give up until the enemy is completely eliminated.

A chase ensued, and for the next few days, the enemy would be on the run.

The battle was not over, but the area around the bridge had returned to calm, leaving only a scene of devastation and chaos.

Yves and his team got busy, arranging for people to clean up the battlefield and quickly treat the wounded.

A divine messenger accompanies the group; minor injuries can be healed on the spot, while serious injuries are handled by bird-man servants who will escort the injured back.

As his cultivation level continued to improve, the divine messenger's healing abilities also became stronger, enabling him to help more citizens in need of medical care.

Despite being attacked by the enemy, the temple forces did not intend to retreat but instead continued to advance according to the original plan.

If one were to retreat to the temple in fear after encountering some setbacks, one would surely be ridiculed.

Not to mention that the goal of this trip has only been half accomplished; more survivors must be brought back.

After a period of rest, the temple procession continued its journey.

The lurking enemies were almost wiped out by the temple, so there's no need to worry about ambushes on the journey ahead.

Any fearless individuals who dare to provoke us at this time will surely meet a gruesome end. Having gone through a battle, the temple personnel are now more composed and have gained even greater confidence.

Even if they encounter danger, the temple will come to their rescue and help the team out of their predicament.

If that's the case, what is there to fear?

The battle was quite large, attracting the attention of many survivors. When they heard the birdman servant's message, they all ran out of the building where they were hiding.

The team grew larger and larger, creating more and more noise, gradually exceeding one thousand people, then two thousand, and continuing to climb.

They traveled in a grand procession, encountering only a few monster attacks along the way, and remained peaceful for the rest of the time.

This scene made the survivors wonder if all the monsters had died.

The truth is far from that. Without the deterrent effect of the divine statues and the constant cleansing by the divine servants, this city would still be a hunting ground where monsters roam freely.

Without armed guards, ordinary citizens who dare to walk on the streets are highly likely to be attacked by monsters.

It is unknown how many citizens will become food for the mutated monsters, ending up with nothing but bones.

Now that they finally have the opportunity to go to the temple's safe zone, how could the survivors possibly refuse?

After walking around the designated route and returning to the temple's safe zone, Tang Zhen had brought back more than 10,000 survivors.

A single operation brought back nearly one percent of the city's residents, which is a considerable number.

The survivors brought back by Tang Zhen were taken care of by the temple, and the vacant houses could easily accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

After a short rest, the team continued their journey, this time heading in a different direction.

By exploring all four directions, we can bring back more survivors from the city, fulfilling the temple's plan to absorb believers.

The rescue operation lasted for several days and brought back nearly 100,000 survivors, essentially fulfilling the plan's requirements.

There are definitely still survivors in the city, numbering at least several hundred thousand, but they are no longer on the rescue list.

If you have enough ability and good luck, you can go to the temple's safe zone on your own.

If the survivors are devout enough, they can be sensed by the statues and have a chance to be rescued by the bird-man servants.

The remaining survivors are left to fend for themselves; their survival depends entirely on their own efforts.

From the very beginning, the arrogant gods had no plan to save all the survivors; the people of the city were merely pawns.

Place it on the table when needed, discard it when not needed, and even delete it if it affects the plan.

In the near-isolated environment, the survivors quickly accepted and joined the temple, becoming part of the force that provided faith.

Influenced by the believers, the temple's foundation became increasingly solid and gradually gained recognition from the world's rules.

Once this step is completed, the deity himself can even descend without being rejected or suppressed by the rules of the astral plane.

Ordinary people are not qualified to participate in such high-level competition, and neither are low-level cultivators.

The only thing we can do now is to complete our respective tasks and make the most of each piece.

Then wait quietly until the outcome of this game is reached.

At this moment, almost everyone in the temple's controlled area is busy with their own things, like countless parts inside a huge machine.

In other areas of the city, the spirits of Alliance wizards continued to descend and actively carry out their operations.

A long time has passed, but the projection of the divine kingdom has not been destroyed, which greatly angers the higher-ups of the Wizarding Alliance.

After discussion, they decided to launch an all-out attack, even dispatching a hundred demigod-level powerhouses to participate in the operation.

They are about to use special methods to send a demigod into the city, while simultaneously launching a decapitation strike against the temple.
