Chapter 1332: PandaVerse znd Morning
Reports of the mysterious missile barrage were all over the Pandamonium forum as well as the subsequent actions that were being taken by the Pandarens who were staying at the Outer Wall camp. The Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers who were supposed to be on guard had informed all their fellow comrades that were "off duty and many of them staying at Jin"s Pandastic Hotel responded promptly to it, allowing the Royal Zodiac Snake soldiers to take full advantage of the current situation. The higher ups in the Royal Zodiac Snake Command who heard of the attack and responded accordingly felt that this was Jin"s work even though they were not at the scene, especially Hou Fei. Even though the General of the Entire Snake Command will allow him to get a few extra winks as the rest of his company go into action, he has decided to go with the flow as well. There was nothing more rea.s.suring to have a leader paving the way for attack or supporting them. "That guy purposely did that when the concentration of Pandarens is the least. Less friendly fire at this particular timing but d.a.m.n, he could at least tell me about it so I could prepare a little." Hou Fei sighed as he changed his clothes. "Oh well, there"s the element of simulating it as a real war, especially to the kids. So I cannot blame him for giving them such a thrilling experience." And when the higher ups were notified, the Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers who were on guard had been given orders to press with the attack as they knew that this was the best opportunity for the Pandarens to extend their reach from the Outer Wall Camp. All of the Pandarens who were within vicinity also followed behind the Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers since they were considered to be the veterans of war.
While their actions did leave the camp totally unguarded, they believed that such an opportunity would not come again and thus they started to rush through the Irmer Walls to kill any remaining survivors. There was no need for mercy as to the soldiers and Pandarens, they were mere points. In the meantime, the missile carriage train left the Outer Wall Camp to make way for the rest of the people who were alerted about this development. And as more of the Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers entered the fray, the fighting turned even more erratic than ever. The remaining Demon Rats soldiers that were around, fiercely fought to keep their territory intact while their medics tried to move the injured away from the place. Yet, because they were fighting against cultivators, the medics also had to make sure that they were able to get out of the place in one piece. All the collateral damage from their skills had been rather annoying, to say the least for the medics as they tried to save their own kind.
While there were a few Pandarens who tried to stop the medics from their job of saving people, most did not bother with them mainly because of the number of Demon Rat Soldiers coming into the picture and fighting them. But because Jin did not coordinate with anybody on the attack, the Pandarens and Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers were unable to fully utilise the opportunity given by him. Also, there were a few who realised too late (more like waking up too late for their own good.) and said that Jin should have informed them about this so they could have prepared. The complaints came in despite the fact that the battlefield had now s.h.i.+fted from the Outer Wall Towns to the top of the Inner Wall. (Aye, some said that they could move as a big group so they could take the Inner Walls entirely and be under the Pandarens" control, allowing the Pandarens to establish a second foothold.)
However, because Jin did not specifically show his face and instead "sent" a human with a panda mask, a few die-hards had commented that this was probably part of the event and they should not use this excuse to attack the creator of the dungeon instance. "It was for the Pandarens to find out and take full advantage of this random a.s.sistance." One of the defenders wrote. Hou Fei also commented on the situation and said that if they had time fighting in the forums, they should use that energy to kill more Demon Rats. And due to the General"s comment, the Royal Zodiac Snakes who had been "retired" to the recovery instance were supporting him. Eventually, the negative feedback and complaints were being pushed away for more positivity within the forums.
Unfortunately, even if they wished to blame the dungeon supplier for his faults for not being able to coordinate a large group, the soldiers who had partic.i.p.ated in the first wave of a.s.sault on the Inner Walls begged to differ that having a large group would be beneficial. Instead, all of them believed that it might have been a handicap or worse, a detrimental effect. That was mainly due to the fact that the new wave of reinforcements consisted of Demon Rat Soldiers who had the ability to do the same as them. They had rifles that were as deadly as theirs and if their range counterattack had suppressed the Pandarens, they would quickly try to recover back the land they lost.
The Cultivators, especially the Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers were able to block such attacks with their chi, allowing them to deflect the bullets or conjure a minor frontal chi barrier to avoid the attacks. And as the rest of the Royal Zodiac soldiers arrived in groups, they continued to gain back what they earned and it turned to a stalemate full of bullets and metal tips flying around. The first who was able to land a shot was literally one step further into each other"s position.
"Then I guess, it"s our time to bombard a few of these rats to push them out of the Inner Walls. Get me the captain of the s.h.i.+p we rented.."
