Number One Dungeon Supplier

"FIRE!!" Bu Dong shouted as another barrage of artillery shots came raining down towards the direction of the Northern Ooofpa Loopa. This time around, they were focusing on the Bone Spirit Demons who had been able to escape the initial volley of attacks and were now running towards the Demopolis Walls.

Sadly, the Pandarens were not yet ready to face them head on outside of the walls. They had wrongfully assumed that the interim period before the Boss encounter had been merely set up for them to rest and relax. Nobody had told them that they had been supposed to use that particular period to prepare some defences against the menacing hordes of monsters.

Alas, that time had already passed and there was no use crying over spilt milk. All they could do now was to mitigate the further damage, hoping that the comrades they had called in would soon arrive. Right now, all the Pandarens were doing their best to either use the artillery to fight back or search for more defences as much as they could with whatever they were able to scour throughout the city.

The Pandawans, with the help of some Pandarens, had realised that they could use the city landscape to their advantage, yet, the city itself was rather vast. There was actually a Suburban area near the outskirts of the Demopolis Walls to accommodate the residents if need be before it transits to a wide round field and later the military bases.

The Suburban areas were filled with multistorey buildings which could be used to isolate the Bone Spirit Demon Horde if they brought them down with explosives. However, the barricade would only last a certain amount of time before the Bone Spirit Demons climb over them or even dig through them.

Still, it was somewhat a last ditch defence solution to slow the monsters down if the walls were overwhelmed. The explosives were easy to place since the Pandamonium App had basic blueprints of each and every building in the Suburban area. But before exploding those buildings to dust piles, the Pandarens rushed to create defensive barricades just like how the Mafia Demon Families had done the same.

Why come up with something new if an old plan should already be able to do the same job?

So they found every piece of furniture they could salvage from the homes and built several makeshift barriers to stop the Bone Spirit Demon Horde from advancing. Some explosives and debuffing inscription charms were added into the mix of those barriers so that they could further reduce the advancement of the Bone Spirit Demon Horde from approaching the open fields.

And speaking of the open fields, that was where the second major batch of Pandarens was present. Under the lead of Pandawan Se Lang and Deng Long, they had begun digging shallow trenches so that the cultivators had a place to fall back at each and every interval in their fight against the Bone Spirit Demon Horde. They had no idea how aggressive the Bone Spirits were but they took whatever possible method in their handbook to slow the horde down. However, they honestly hope the fighting would not take place that near to their base. Because if that was the case, the odds of winning would practically be close to zero too. The open field without proper support fire was equivalent to suicide and Se Lang believed they should rather surrender the raid instance.

Still, they continued to do it because the objective of this raid was not just to kill the two boss monsters, it was the protection of the airfield runway. it was the one thing that the Pandarens had to protect at all costs, otherwise, there would be no more additional reinforcements coming in.

Some of the Pandarens complained that this Final Boss Instance should have allowed for a more constant wave of reinforcements coming through by the means of magical teleportation but thematically, it did not make sense at all and it might break the raid.

If the reinforcements were to stream in simultaneously, they would no doubt have sufficient manpower to fight against the Demon Hordes and the Boss Monsters. It wouldn't be a suspense filled fight anymore, but more of a battle of attrition, with one side unable to lose. It would no longer be a question of IF they could win, but WHEN they would win.

However, as the epic conclusion to the Demopolis City Raid this part was meant to be a fight for their lives, preparing them for the case should such a monster ever appear in the midst of their reality (again). It was a sort of training for both the civilians and the armed personnel of the country...or that was what many who were in the raid instance had come to believe.

In reality, Kraft's main goal was just to give the Pandarens a worthy fight to remember Jin's dungeon instance, since it was indirectly his brother's possible future legacy. (Although he also wanted to see them suffer for a change since he was of the opinion Jin always treated them too nicely. And sadly, some of the minions felt the same way as well.)

Of course, he could have allowed reinforcements to come in at any time, but he wanted the Pandarens to understand the meaning of fear and inevitability by forbidding the stream of constant reinforcements. By changing it to the current solution, they would all have no idea when reinforcement would come in and it also forced them to defend that structure for which he had some surprises in store...

The trenches were filled with another layer of artillery guns awaiting their time to be used while barbed wires, explosives and even mines were placed diligently by the Pandarens setting up the battlefield. And because they needed more time to dig the trenches and place the items, it was up to the Pandarens at the Demopolis Wall and Suburban areas to buy them time to settle their defences.

However, one shouldn't forget about the military equipment that was stored within the city's basements. Tanks, jeeps and rocket launcher trucks were slowly being brought out and they were placed in strategic areas where they could cover the most extensive area of attack. There were a few soldiers among the Pandarens and they immediately volunteered to give whatever advice they could to the Pandawans in order to speed things up.

As for the naval portion, the Pandawans found out there were actually mini submarines as well as portable diving engines which could be used to manoeuvre within the sea without coming up for air. They were shaped like a torpedo without the explosives inside, allowing easy manipulation as long as the cultivators could tolerate the sea currents and even had huge oxygen tanks with which the Pandarens could replenish their oxygen. But because of their properties, they were vulnerable when those engines were damaged, so those who used them treated it as a one time trip against the wave of Bone Spirit Demons.

Still, the Demopolis Armoury seemed to have no shortage of them. Destroying even a hundred of them would not dent their inventory stocks. Thus, with most portions of the defences covered, the Pandawans were only worried about the offensive part of this raid.
