Number One Dungeon Supplier

After some hesitation as well as clarification, the Pandawans finally agreed to it. All of them were given a new sub module within the Pandamonium App and Jin was delighted that it was completed.

To his surprise, the night for the second day had gone rather peacefully contrary to his worries. He assumed that the Demon Rats will continue with their attacks but the soldiers that were thrown into the fray were just the rank and file.

It was to the point that many of them were using armour that was broken on the ground and fresh new rats that did not seem even mature enough to carry a weapon. However, one thing did change. All the new rats were not given swords and shields, instead, they were given rifles.

Some cowered behind the nearby buildings and shot at the magical barrier. It might prove ineffective to show a bullet or two. But imagine having hundreds of rats doing the same thing repeatedly over an interval of a few seconds, and then continue with the next batches of rats. It was practically a hell hole that the Pandarens would not even dare venture out from their energy barrier. Not to mention, the batteries for the energy barrier needed to be replaced at a faster pace than before when they were holding onto swords and shields. The machine gun installations were not very useful against targets that were further out of their range and thus they were soon abandoned.

Thankfully, the humans can play that game at a better pace considering their familiarity with guns, not to mention how modern they were. Suffice it to say, the gun weapons trader in the Hidden Gem Night Market was flowing in lots of cash that some of the limited and more powerful weapons had to be auctioned on the spot because of the quantity that was available. But those weapons the defending Pandarens had picked from the Hidden Gem Night Market were never a doubt a major boon in the current situation.

One could say that it is practically target practice for the humans while the rats randomly shot their rifles to destroy the magical barrier. However, luck did not last long for the humans that much as the Demon Rats somehow managed to calculate the amount of damage needed to be done for the magical barrier to be broken.

This short interval of vulnerability caused the Demon Rats to fire more in sync and even able to kill quite a few humans with their suppressive fire. Meanwhile, the more hot headed Rats had decided to try their luck to get close to the Pillar Base Camp. If not for the defences, the Pandarens would have long been overwhelmed by numbers alone. It gave them enough time for the Royal Zodiac Sheep Soldier to switch the barriers battery for it to be up. And even the regeneration of the barrier did not deter the Demon Rats to continue to move forward as the barrier tried to activate. They rather risk being cut into two by the barrier and attempt to move forward to annihilate the humans.

Not only that, the Demon Rats were clever enough to adapt and sacrifice themselves so that they could sabotage the defences of the Pillar Base Camp. Some of them threw bombs into the spear shooting emplacement, destroying them so that they were rendered useless against the Demon Rats while others hurled a ton of bombs over the walls while using body shields in an attempt to break the other installations as well.

It was pretty obvious that they were using very barbaric and crude tactics to overcome the Pillar Base Camp with just numbers. It might be terrifying for the Pandarens who had to fight against overwhelming odds, but to the commander in chief, Jin took this as a good and peaceful night.

As for the situation at the Third Layer of the Inner Wall, things were not as hectic as one had thought they would be. Ever since the Pandarens had managed to clear the wall from the Demon Rats, they were able to utilise the guard towers and set up a defensive parameter with whatever equipment that they had. And also because the Demon Rats need to use the great elevator to transport their troops, their enemies would be able to hold them off from overtaking the third layer once more.

To their luck, a few of the Pandarens manning the Third Layer happened to be somewhat wealthy and they 'donated' a few defensive installations that aided with the defence such as a large repeating arrow emplacement as well as two mediaeval cannon emplacements. Not to mention, the Royal Snake Soldiers who were out in the sea were bored enough to give some bombardments that aided in fending off the Demon Rats away. Otherwise, the commanding officer of the ship continued to pour lead onto the shield that was covering the Undercity. "General's orders" or so the commanding officer said.

The Royal Snake Soldiers would routinely send their planes to bombard the Demon Rats and the remaining payload would be used on the shield. All of them know that it was pretty futile but wasting the magical energy of the Demon Rat mages was the whole point. If they were too busy handling the energy barrier, that means they would not be able to engage in battle. Besides, this also gave the Snakes to clock in some training runs so they were happy to do so. (After all the Royal Snake General told them to splurge.)

But when the sunrise on the third day, things are about to change.

All of the monsters and minions that were not fighting in the Eastern and Western tunnels were told to get ready once more. Most thought that it was a 'drill' again since that was what they were told since Day 1 of PandaVerse Festival, but both Jin and the System had assured them that this was it. They were going in by the third day.

This was all because of Hou Fei's efforts. The Elite Snake Shadow had managed to accomplish his mission to infiltrate the Demon Rat's headquarters.
