Chapter 1296 Solitude
Great Summer.
Sinking Dragon Pass.
Violent hurricanes rolled up the heavy seawater, like a roaring beast in the darkness, crashing against the tall outer wall of Sinking Dragon Pass.
Spray shot up, with faint thunder rumbling, and atop the watchtower on the outer wall, two figures wearing dark red cloaks stood firm like immovable rocks.
“Why is the wind and waves so strong tonight?”
One night watchman lowered his binoculars and said amid the whimpering wind.
Beside him, another night watchman frowned slightly, “It’s indeed unusual, such strong winds and waves haven’t appeared for a long time…”
“All alert teams, report your current situation.”
“Team 1, all normal.”
“Team 2, all normal.”
“Team 3…”
Consecutive voices came through the intercom. Hearing that nothing unusual was happening throughout Sinking Dragon Pass, the man nodded:
“In such heavy winds and waves, even patrol aircraft cannot take off. Everyone stay alert, we cannot miss any anomaly!”
After speaking, the man turned his head and glanced at the brightly lit Sinking Dragon Pass behind the inner wall. Even though it was deep into the night, numerous military personnel and night watchmen were still busy handling various matters.
Just as he was about to continue monitoring the surroundings, a piercing alarm suddenly echoed under the quiet sky!
Woooo—Woooo—Woooo!!
Bright red warning lights lit up simultaneously from every watchtower on the outer wall, tinting the black seawater with a hint of red. The man’s expression instantly changed!
“S-level war alert?! How is this possible???”
“What’s happening? We didn’t detect anything!”
“It’s the Dream Net… the Dream Net of the lord at Xuehanguan was breached! Something is approaching us from the Misty Border!”
“Damn! Why at this time?!
Everyone prepare for battle!!”
The piercing alarm echoed in every corner of Sinking Dragon Pass. The quiet fortress behind the inner wall, like a war machine rapidly starting up, saw countless figures quickly and orderly rushing to their positions. A deep rumbling sound emanated from between the two walls, as if some steel beast was gradually awakening.
“Captain! Look there!”
Amid the howling wind and waves, the night watchman beside him exclaimed.
The man quickly turned his head, raised his binoculars, and looked toward the end of the black horizon.
A series of massive mountain-like shadows were slowly moving from the edge of his vision, and at the same time, countless brilliant divine lights, like meteors, broke through the thick cloud layer, carrying terrifying pressure and rapidly approaching!
The waves rolled back frantically, the night sky was torn with long streaks, and the man vaguely felt the sea surface and watchtower beneath his feet begin to tremble slightly.
“This is…” he stared at this scene, his eyes filled with terror and shock!
“Divine War?! Those Olympus bastards! How dare they start a Divine War at this time?!!”
Woooo—Woooo—Woooo—!!
Sinking Dragon Pass, Jialin Pass, Shanhai Pass… the piercing alarms and crimson lights, like beacon fires, ignited one after another from every war fortress in eastern Great Summer, tearing a ferocious crack in the stormy night.
…
Asgard.
Under the starry sky, Lin Qiye turned off all the lights in the room. He gently exhaled, and the smoke swirled, transforming into the figure of No. 27.
“Is anyone monitoring me nearby?” Lin Qiye asked in a low voice.
No. 27 was silent for a moment, then shook his head, “No.”
“That’s good.”
Lin Qiye sat down at the table with relief, reached into his pocket and took out a flat pixel chip, pressing it in the center.
The pixels automatically stacked and flowed, instantly transforming into a communicator that fell into Lin Qiye’s palm.
He took a deep breath and pressed a button on the communicator:
“This is Lin Qiye, calling Great Summer Night Watchmen Headquarters, please respond if you receive this.”
“Shhhh shhhh shhhh…”
Disturbing noise came from the communicator, echoing in the silent room.
Lin Qiye held the communicator, waiting for half a minute, but still no human voice came from the other side.
Lin Qiye was stunned. He pressed the button, increased the volume slightly and spoke again:
“This is Lin Qiye, calling Great Summer Night Watchmen Headquarters, please respond if you receive this.”
“Shhhh shhhh shhhh…”
“Loki will challenge the Supreme tomorrow, my operation is ready, and tomorrow I can open the Rainbow Bridge to make way for Great Summer’s gods.”
“Shhhh shhhh shhhh…”
“Hello? Commander Zuo? Can you hear me?”
“Shhhh shhhh shhhh…”
Lin Qiye held the communicator, calling continuously for several minutes, but still didn’t get a response from Zuo Qing.
Lin Qiye’s brows immediately furrowed, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
He exchanged a glance with No. 27 standing in the corner, sat up straight, and continued calling with a solemn expression:
“This is Lin Qiye, calling Great Summer Night Watchmen Headquarters…”
“…”
Time passed minute by minute, the brilliant stars in the night sky gradually dimmed. Lin Qiye had lost track of how long he had been calling, but apart from the intermittent static noise, no other sound appeared from the communicator.
In the dark room, Lin Qiye’s heart sank completely.
Normally, as long as Zuo Qing had the communicator with him, he would respond immediately upon hearing his call… but after calling continuously for so long, there was still no response from the other side.
Either Zuo Qing had left the communicator in his office, or… something had happened to Great Summer.
Given Zuo Qing’s meticulousness, the possibility of the former was almost zero.
Could it be that Great Summer…
Amid the noisy static, Lin Qiye felt his hands and feet turn cold, and a fear of the unknown and bewilderment surged in his heart.
No, it can’t be… Great Summer has its gods stationed there, along with so many human elites, how could anything happen?
But if Great Summer couldn’t receive his call, what should he do tomorrow?
Should he still follow the original plan and open the Rainbow Bridge?
If Great Summer was truly caught in some trouble, the Great Summer gods wouldn’t be able to come battle the Asgardian gods as planned. Even if he opened the Rainbow Bridge, no reinforcements would arrive…
At that point, once discovered by the Asgardian gods, he would truly have nowhere to go.
At this moment, Lin Qiye felt like he was completely isolated in enemy territory, a lamb fighting alone. The powerful backup that was supposed to come to his aid was nowhere to be found, and his path forward was shrouded in uncertainty.
Just as Lin Qiye was pondering hard, No. 27 standing in the corner suddenly spoke:
“Someone is coming.”
