Chapter 1438 Severe
Lin Qiye finished the cake and found there was still plenty of time left. From Jiangcheng City to the front line wasn’t too far; using the Somersault Cloud would take just over a minute, but the problem was that they were now carrying a big fellow with them, so they could only fly slowly, extending the travel time more than tenfold.
He first greeted Gilgamesh, then checked on Yerande’s condition, before walking directly to the prison cells in the basement of the hospital.
The Mogara he had killed earlier on the island couldn’t be recruited as a caretaker. He wondered if the same situation would happen again this time.
Lin Qiye stood in front of the prison cell, his gaze sweeping over the giant rats behind five consecutive fences, his eyes narrowing slightly.
”
Criminal: Rat Beast (Unknown Species)
Choice: As a mythical creature killed by your own hands, you have the right to decide the fate of its soul:
Option 1: Directly erase its soul, making it completely disappear from the world.
Option 2: If its ‘fear value’ of you reaches 60, you can hire it as a hospital caretaker to look after patients while providing you with a certain degree of protection.
Current fear value:
”
Seeing such a high fear value, Lin Qiye wasn’t particularly surprised.
When he first encountered these rat beasts, he had used [Flame of Yama Sky-Covering Technique], instantly killing two of them and severely injuring the other three. Then he summoned Laifu to torture and kill them… especially the latter, which was an absolute nightmare for these rat beasts.
Lin Qiye reached out and grasped at the void, and five contracts appeared in his palm. Just as he was about to pass the contracts into the prison cell, a burst of intense flames ignited again!
Lin Qiye quickly released his fingertips, and the burning contracts slowly floated to the ground, turning into black ashes before disappearing without a trace.
He watched this scene, his face extremely gloomy.
Failed again.
If last time it was because there was something wrong with Mogara itself… then why couldn’t these five rat beasts be recruited as caretakers this time?
What? Does this hospital discriminate against Indian mythological creatures?!
Lin Qiye looked at these five rat beasts with fear in their eyes and, after hesitating for a moment, didn’t immediately erase them. After all, they were still five god-beast level combatants, and he hadn’t figured out why the hospital wouldn’t let him recruit them… he planned to study this thoroughly when he had time after the war ended.
Lin Qiye’s consciousness withdrew from the hospital and returned to reality.
Howling winds swept past everyone’s ears, and at the end of the distant mountains, they could faintly see countless terrifying divine lights colliding and intertwining. Continuous beast roars echoed between the valleys.
They were not far from Chennan Pass now.
…
Chennan Pass.
Divine battlefield, in the sky.
A figure in white clothes with white hair looked down at the chaotic battlefield below, his brows furrowing tighter.
“Grand Master,” Nezha rose from below, riding his Wind Fire Wheels, his jade-like body covered with several ghastly bloody scratches. “Those Indian gods aren’t fighting us head-on anymore; they’ve started retreating toward the border… are they trying to run?”
Jiang Ziya stroked his beard with his right hand and shook his head. “No, they’re probably stalling for time.”
“Stalling for time?” Nezha thought for a moment. “Are they waiting for the Olympian gods?”
“Correct. The Temple of Heaven gods have been fighting in our Great Xia territory for two days and are starting to exhaust their strength. If they don’t consolidate their battle lines soon, they’ll likely be defeated one by one by our Great Xia gods. And they absolutely cannot retreat into the mist. Once they leave this battlefield, they won’t be able to use Chennan Pass and the cities behind it to tie us down…
At that point, with no worries about what’s behind them, the Great Xia gods will pursue and kill them, and their casualties will only be more severe.”
“What should we do?” Anxiety appeared in Nezha’s eyes. “If we really let them stall until Olympus arrives… our situation will be even worse.”
Jiang Ziya didn’t speak. His gaze fell on the broken silver-white fortress on the ground, his expression somewhat solemn.
After two days of slaughter, the Great Xia gods, with their home-field advantage, should have gained the upper hand and even severely wounded these invading Temple of Heaven gods. But they had been using the “Mother Beast” to constantly harass Chennan Pass and the cities behind it, making the Great Xia gods hesitant. After all, even if they severely wounded the Temple of Heaven gods, the price would be tens of millions of innocent lives.
If they delayed, waiting for the Olympian gods to arrive, Great Xia’s situation would become extremely dangerous. But if they went all out in a lightning war, Chennan Pass would inevitably be unable to withstand the beast tide… The Great Xia gods were currently in this rigid situation.
“Grand Master!” Nezha called out anxiously again.
“We can’t delay any longer…” After weighing the options in his mind for a long time, Jiang Ziya finally said, “Pass down the order: one incense stick later, all gods who can still fight will launch a general attack… No matter the cost, we must severely wound them in the shortest time possible, then return to support Chennan Pass.”
In their current state, the Great Xia gods had almost no chance of victory if faced with attacks from two divine nations. Rather than that, it was better to take a gamble and see which side would be faster!
The key to whether this battle could be won depended first on whether the Great Xia gods could quickly eliminate the Indian gods, and second… on how long Chennan Pass could hold against the largest-scale divine beast assault.
“Yes.” Nezha’s face was more serious than ever before. He transformed into a beam of light and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
…
“…Yes.”
Jiang Ziya’s voice slowly faded in Zuo Qing’s ears, and the latter took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
He stood on the bullet-riddled outer wall, unconsciously tightening his grip on the hilt of his straight sword.
He knew that the most difficult battle for Chennan Pass… had finally come.
He quickly opened his communicator and said in a deep voice: “This is Night Watchman Commander-in-Chief Zuo Qing…”
The moment this voice appeared, all the Night Watchmen at Chennan Pass, as well as the military personnel of Great Xia, became fully alert.
“One incense stick later, the Great Xia gods will launch a general attack, and we will face the most severe beast tide assault, perhaps several times the scale of what we are facing now…”
Click!
The shell ejected from the sniper rifle. On the watchtower of Chennan Pass, a special forces soldier from the Great Xia military paused slightly while pulling the bolt.
After a moment of silence, he continued to pull the bolt expressionlessly, pressed his face against the sniper scope, locked onto a giant snake eyeball that was approaching the outer wall of Chennan Pass, and pulled the trigger again!
Bang!
Hundreds of meters away, the giant snake eyeball shattered. The surrounding Night Watchmen seized the opportunity, rushed forward together, and slaughtered it on the ground.
