Chapter 1684 Explosion Siege
[There will be two chapters later]

"These people seem to be the Emperor's Army!" Hearing the call for help, the surrounding soldiers gathered around, looking curiously at the dozen or so people who walked out of the Void Gate.

And through the gorgeous armor and attire of these people, they immediately recognized that these people were from the Imperial Army.

This is the guard of the Jiutian Empire. Although there are only 100 million of them in total, they are the most elite troops in the entire Jiutian Empire. They have always been the army responsible for guarding the capital and protecting the safety of His Majesty the Emperor. Unexpectedly, they appeared on the city wall of this small town at this time.

When facing these soldiers who surrounded them, the Emperor's Army frowned slightly, and then quickly said, "Where is your commander? Ask him to come to see me immediately! There is something important for them to do to deal with Meng Chao!"

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately ran to find their commander. The soldier of the Imperial Army didn't waste any words and asked the commander directly, "How many officers can fly here?"

"This...this..." The commander hesitated.

"Don't talk about this or that. I just want to ask you how many people in the entire city can fly? Don't you see that the dream tide is coming outside the city gate? You don't have much time!" Huang Tianjun said anxiously.

"Yes, there are more than 80 people in total!" the commander said hesitantly.

"Why is it so few? Logically speaking, there should be at least 150 colonels in your city!" Huang Tianjun asked with a changed expression. The commander's expression suddenly became more ugly and uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain it at all, nor could he explain the reason.

"Forget it, I don't bother to care about your bullshit!" The people of the Imperial Army waved their hands. In fact, even if the commander didn't explain, he would probably have reacted. After all, eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers is a common thing in any era and country.

After all, a colonel is a lot of money. Many powerful people are already rich, but they still want to embezzle these empty salaries. This is not something that a small soldier of the Imperial Army can solve. He simply ignores it and directly says, "Call all the colonels who can fly here immediately. I have an order from the court to convey!"

"Yes!" The commander was very fast this time. More than 80 officers were summoned. The soldier of the Imperial Army did not waste any words. He took out a small ball from a backpack on his back and said, "This is the panacea sent by the court to deal with the dream tide, and this button is the trigger mechanism."

"Each of you carries 20 of these small balls, then flies over Dream Tide and inputs the power of the world into this mechanism. The mechanism will be automatically triggered, and the ball will explode after 2 seconds."

"What you have to do is to drop this ball to the place where the dream tide is most concentrated immediately after triggering the mechanism. Each of you is responsible for an area, and make sure the explosion affects as many dream tides as possible!" Huang Tianjun said quickly.

"What's the use of this thing? Even if it explodes, it will probably kill a few people at most. How can it possibly stop the dream tide?" the officers asked in confusion.

"Just do what I tell you to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense!" The soldiers of the Imperial Army cursed. "This is an order from the court. It is also the will of His Majesty. It is also your only chance to survive. Do you want to disobey the order?"

"We dare not! We dare not!" The officers denied it one after another, and then immediately picked up 20 such small balls each, ready to execute the order.

"Oh, there's one thing I almost forgot to tell you. Each of you must wear a mask. Also, after releasing this thing, immediately stay at least 500 meters away."

"Why?" Everyone asked in confusion. "Don't ask me, I don't know either. That's what the higher-ups told us. They also said that if you don't want to die, you don't have to wear a mask or leave quickly. It's up to you!"

"Could this thing be poison?" The officers gave full play to their imagination and said that they would definitely carry out the orders from above.

Soon everyone set off with the small balls. Following the instructions of the Imperial Army, they flew over the sky where Mengchao was about to attack the city, and activated all the balls in their hands one by one.

Two seconds after the balls fell, they exploded about 10 meters above people's heads. As the balls exploded, streams of water mist instantly sprinkled on all the Mengchaos like drizzle.

At this moment, these dream tides were all controlled by dreams, so they naturally didn't care about the drizzle that was not even water droplets, and they continued to move forward without hesitation.

Soon, all the officers flew back, and then everyone looked at Meng Chao expectantly, wanting to see Meng Chao stop.

However, this was just a beautiful fantasy. Ten minutes later, the dream tide arrived as expected and approached the foot of the city wall. The soldiers were completely disappointed. They could only curse and put away all their fantasies and entered into a fatal defensive battle.

I won’t go into detail about the entire combat process, it was nothing more than these dreamers desperately climbing the city walls...These people who were controlled by dreams wouldn’t be able to climb city walls, let alone trees on a normal day.

But under the control of the dream, they were able to accurately find the various gaps on the wall, and then climb up the wall little by little. It didn't matter even if their fingers were covered in blood.

As for the soldiers defending on the city wall, they were like playing whack-a-mole. Once they saw someone really approaching the top of the city wall, they would immediately press down with the rollers in their hands until the person was flipped off the city wall.

As mentioned before, such a battle is simple, but also meaningless, because as time goes by, these dreams that do not contain any fear will eventually climb up the city walls and then spread the dreams to the soldiers on the walls.

However, these soldiers also showed great energy and faith. Because their parents and relatives were inside the city walls, everyone's determination to defend the city was extremely strong. The offensive lasted for four or five hours, and the city walls remained as solid as a rock.

But this was only short-lived. Many soldiers began to leave, and gaps began to appear on the city walls. At the same time, hundreds of soldiers came into physical contact with the dream tide because they failed to stop it in time. So for the sake of their families and friends, they resolutely jumped off the city walls, and while they were still awake, they did not harm their comrades.

But all this is short-lived. In an hour or two at most, the city walls will be completely breached and all defense will become meaningless.

But they still tried their best, until one of them had exhausted all his strength and was unwilling to leave the city wall. He used his remaining arms, which were still able to move, and his almost weak strength to beat back a dream tide that was about to climb up the city wall. Then a miracle happened.

That dream tide actually fell directly from the city wall and landed heavily on the ground... Fortunately, a huge amount of dream tide had gathered under the city wall at this time. In addition, the city wall here was only about ten meters high. There was a human mattress to cushion him if he fell down, so it seemed that he would not die.

Then, a scene that was praised as a miracle by later generations happened. The other Dream Chaos who were still clinging to the city wall fell down from the wall one after another like dumplings, until there was no Dream Chao left on the wall.
