Chapter 1085: The Invasion of the Remnants
Not long after.
Military trucks roared across the wasteland and slowly came to a stop at the entrance of the border defense company.
Since they hadn’t brought any luggage, the new recruits simply had a quick meal in the company cafeteria to replenish their energy. Afterward, they orderly boarded the trucks. Compared to when they arrived, they now looked disheveled and dirty, like wild men, but their eyes were filled with uncontainable joy.
Lin Qiye sat in the back of one of the trucks, looking around at the excited new recruits, a faint smile always playing at the corners of his mouth.
The nearest military airport to the Kiyoshi Border Defense Company was still quite a distance away. Even by truck, it would take several hours. With too many new recruits and not enough trucks available for the night watchmen at the border, the instructors had to squeeze into the trucks with the recruits.
To prevent any unexpected situations, they sat in different trucks to ensure the recruits’ safety.
At first, as they left the border defense company, the new recruits were just excitedly chatting in the truck. But as time passed, their interest gradually shifted to Lin Qiye, who was in the cabin with them.
Having passed the assessment, the recruits looked at Lin Qiye as if he were a teacher they had just graduated from school, their eyes no longer filled with fear but rather with closeness and curiosity.
Under the gaze of so many eager eyes, Lin Qiye’s expression gradually became strange.
“Instructor Lin.” A recruit leaned closer to Lin Qiye, blinking, “I heard that you killed a Japanese god in Takamagahara… Can you tell us about it?”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone present immediately lit up, and they crowded around Lin Qiye.
“Yes, Instructor Lin, please tell us!”
“Instructor Lin, which god did you kill? Was it powerful?”
“Instructor, what is the ‘Human Circle’ in Japan like?”
“Instructor Bai Li said… you used to be a gigolo in the ‘Human Circle,’ is that true?!”
“…”
Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly.
He looked at the eager recruits in front of him, smiled helplessly, and an affectionate expression unconsciously appeared on his face.
These were all soldiers he had brought out.
“Alright, then I’ll briefly tell you about it.”
Lin Qiye straightened up slightly, and upon hearing this, the other recruits’ faces lit up with joy, and they immediately quieted down.
“First, I want to clarify that the rumor about Instructor Bai Li saying I was a gigolo is purely false.” Lin Qiye said seriously, “The ‘Human Circle’ in Japan is vast, and the forces within it are complex, such as the Oracle Envoy and the Master of the Kotsu Blade…”
The recruits in the truck all gathered around Lin Qiye, their bodies swaying with the bumps of the vehicle. They looked at him eagerly, like a group of children sitting around a campfire, listening to a veteran returning from the front lines recount stories of the past.
The vehicle slowly drove up a rugged road, and as the altitude increased, the recruits could clearly see the entire border landscape from the truck.
Gray mist churned beyond the border line, and behind it, a border defense company stood like a nail, deeply embedded in the wasteland. Thick snow clouds piled up in the sky, completely blocking the bright midday sunlight, and a rare and terrifying blizzard was silently brewing.
Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!
Just as the recruits in the truck were engrossed in Lin Qiye’s story, several thunderous explosions erupted from beyond the border line.
The thunder startled the recruits, and Lin Qiye’s voice abruptly stopped. He frowned, braced himself against the edge of the truck, jumped down, and simultaneously opened the radio, speaking to all military trucks:
“Stop all vehicles!”
On the mountainside, dozens of trucks slowly came to a halt.
Lin Qiye and the others got out of the trucks and turned to look in the direction of the thunder, their pupils suddenly constricting!
Under the dim, lightless snow clouds, grayish-white mist swirled like seawater filling the sky, wildly churning outside the invisible wall of divine miracles.
Outside the wall of divine miracles, eight tall and mysterious figures floated between the sky and the earth, slowly emerging from the chaotic mist, crossing the wall of divine miracles, and stepping into the territory of the Great Xia.
These were eight strangely dressed foreign beings, their bodies covered in scars, but their eyes contained endless hatred and ferocity, like a pack of wolves charging into a flock of sheep.
The moment they appeared, a terrifying pressure filled the entire world.
Even from over ten kilometers away on the snowy peak, they were not free from the range of their pressure. Over six hundred new recruits swayed simultaneously, their legs going weak as they nearly fell to the ground, their faces pale as they stared at the eight figures at the border, fear unlike anything they had ever experienced filling their eyes!
Having yet to step onto the battlefield, this was their first time sensing such a despairing and powerful pressure!
Lin Qiye stood in place, staring at those figures, his expression visibly darkening.
Gods!
Eight Egyptian gods!
But shouldn’t the Sun City of Egypt be fighting against the Heavenly Court right now? How did these gods escape?
The eight Egyptian gods hovered in the air, as if sensing something, they turned their heads and looked toward a certain void not far away, their divine power surging instantly, a chilling killing intent sweeping out.
Lin Qiye followed their gaze and was first taken aback, then his heart skipped a beat, his eyes filled with horror.
Their target was the National Guardian Divine Stele!!
…
At the edge of the mist.
“Loki’s information was correct.” The Wind God Xiu gazed at the void where the National Guardian Divine Stele was located, “As long as we get close to this side of the border, we can clearly sense the presence of that stele.”
“As long as we destroy it, the invisible wall protecting the Great Xia border will be breached by one-ninth, allowing the mist to flood in, bringing devastation to the people of Great Xia. Moreover, it won’t be easy for the Great Xia gods to repair this gap.”
“The gods of Great Xia want to destroy my Egyptian divine kingdom, so I will slaughter their mortal citizens… Without such a source of faith, what difference is there between the Heavenly Court and other divine kingdoms?”
The eight Egyptian gods immediately turned around and rushed toward the National Guardian Divine Stele hidden in the void!
At that moment, the ground beneath them suddenly shook, and snowflakes erupted into the sky. A beautiful woman draped in a golden and purple patterned divine robe stepped out from the void, holding the Kunlun Mirror, blocking the path of the eight Egyptian gods.
The gaze of the West Queen Mother swept over them, her brows slightly furrowing.
“The Sun City’s minions, not dying within the city, dare to covet my Great Xia National Guardian Divine Stele?”
With a cold snort, the West Queen Mother unleashed a surge of green divine power, and the ancient bronze mirror in her hand shot up into the sky, instantly enveloping the eight Egyptian gods above.
