I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Schrödinger's profession is the powerful legendary profession [Iron-Blooded Military Lord].

That's right, the "Ironblood" in Ironblood Fortress is taken from his class name.

The "Iron-Blooded Military Master" is a class that can convert battle intent into group buffs and excels in head-on combat. Xue Dingbang's level is the same as Chen Qingxuan's, both reaching level 90.

At this moment, Xue Dingbang was wearing a dark red heavy armor, which was covered with scratches left by various weapons.

Just by standing there, he naturally exudes the aura of a seasoned warrior.

This aura could stabilize the morale of the surrounding soldiers. Beside Xue Dingbang stood several deputy generals and adjutants covered in blood.

The armor of these lieutenants was badly damaged, and black demonic blood was still dripping from their weapons.

Their chests heaved violently, their breathing was heavy, and they carried a strong lingering aura of killing intent.

Clearly, these lieutenants and adjutants had already personally gone down to the battlefield to fight their way through. After holding off the monsters, they retreated to the command post to rest.

In addition, there were several guild leaders on the command platform, who were also there to discuss the upcoming battle plan.

These vice generals and guild leaders are all of high level, mostly above level 80. Together, they form the core fighting force of the Blood Moon Fortress in dealing with the abyss monsters.

At this moment, the faces of these high-ranking leaders were filled with deep fatigue and an undisguised solemnity.

The pressure from the millions of monsters outside the fortress was too great, far exceeding the limits of normal defense.

From the start of the beast tide until now, their nerves have been on high alert, without a moment's respite.

After the two sides met at the command post, there was not much small talk or pleasantries.

Zuo Tiancheng strode to the sand table and directly asked Xue Dingbang about the current battle situation.

Schrödinger sighed heavily, pointed to the dark, overwhelming army of monsters outside, and revealed the truth.

"The situation is very bad. The Abyss Order has actually mobilized over a million monsters this time. They are using the sheer number of monsters to forcibly deplete the fortress's defensive capabilities."

Zuo Tiancheng frowned, looking at the blood-stained lieutenants, and asked the question that had been bothering him.

"If that's the case, why don't the higher-ups just take direct action and clear the area on a large scale?"

Xue Dingbang shook his head, his face full of helplessness: "It's not that we level 80 or 90 experts can't keep fighting enemies down there."

"Deep within the battlefield, I can sense Abyss Overlords and Demon Generals of similar level to us."

"Once we can't help but engage in combat, exhausting our mana or severely overdrawing our physical strength, then the human race's defenses will immediately have a gap in high-end combat power."

"When the enemy's high-end combat forces advance, the fortress will fall instantly and become indefensible."

"Therefore, in order to prepare for the high-level confrontation that may break out at any time, we have no other choice."

As he said these words, Xue Dingbang's face was full of reluctance. If he could, he would have already gone into battle and fought his way in and out seven times, but the reality was that he couldn't.

They were forced to remain on the city walls, conserving their strength and condition, and could only watch helplessly as their soldiers below risked their lives to fill the gaps.

Their only strategy now is to buy time and wait for the strongmen from other fortresses to come to their aid.

This is a completely unfair war of attrition, and the situation is very unfavorable for the human race.

Following the updates on Cola Novels has never been so enjoyable.

They have already sent a request to the inland areas, but it's impossible for the strong in the inland areas to come and provide support in a short period of time.

The inland area is very far from the front line, and it will take at least half a day or even a day for reinforcements to reach Blood Moon Fortress.

Moreover, other inland areas are also facing considerable combat pressure, and if their commanders are away from their defense zones for too long, gaps will appear in their defensive capabilities.

Those monsters will definitely seize this opportunity to launch an attack.

At this moment, Lin Yuan and Zuo Tiancheng exchanged a glance, and the two instantly reached a tacit understanding.

Zuo Tiancheng nodded slightly, then took a step forward and spoke directly to Xue Dingbang.

"Commander Xue, within the defensive line outside the fortress, which specific area requires your focused defense?"

Zuo Tiancheng said seriously, "I have someone here who might be of great help and can greatly alleviate your defensive pressure."

Upon hearing Zuo Tiancheng's words, Xue Dingbang and the other adjutants' previously weary faces immediately brightened.

They knew very well that Zuo Tiancheng would never joke at such a crucial moment.

Xue Dingbang immediately turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the reinforcements brought by Zuo Tiancheng, and quickly asked, "Who are they?"

Zuo Tiancheng didn't keep him in suspense. He reached out and pushed Lin Yuan, who had been standing behind him, in front of him.

Zuo Tiancheng smiled and said to everyone, "Commander Xue, this is the man."

"He is the leader of the freshmen in my War Academy, and his name is Lin Yuan."

"Lin Yuan possesses a very rare hidden skill: the Undying Barrier."

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Tiancheng briefly introduced Lin Yuan's professional characteristics to the senior executives present.

He emphasized Lin Yuan's unreasonablely high armor value and his special ability to share defense stats with teammates as a percentage.

After listening, Xue Dingbang and his adjutants frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to offer a rebuttal.

After all, Lin Yuan is just a freshman at level 41. Even if his skills are good, how high can his base stats be?

Faced with a million-strong beast tide that can easily result in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, the defensive sharing of a low-level student sounds like a drop in the ocean.

However, before Xue Dingbang and several other senior executives could voice their doubts...

Lin Yuan proved himself directly with his actions, instantly activating his core skill, Knight's Dance.

A pale golden halo rapidly spread outwards from Lin Yuan, enveloping everyone on the command platform.

Lin Yuan wanted them to experience firsthand just how powerful his shared defense enhancement really was.

When the aura of the knight's dance fell upon them, everyone's body involuntarily stiffened suddenly.

The words that the high-ranking officials and even Commander Xue Dingbang originally wanted to say in rebuttal were choked up at this moment, and they could no longer utter a single word.

Because they can clearly feel that their own defense on their attribute panel is increasing at an absurd rate.

For these people, the extra 500,000+ armor bonuses were incredibly powerful.

It should be noted that among the high-ranking officials present, apart from Xue Dingbang, whose level was as high as 90 and whose armor was over 500,000, the other adjutants and guild leaders who were over 80 did not have such exaggerated basic attributes.
