Chapter 1442 In Position
A gray shadow dragged trails of afterimages from the mountains, rapidly flashing to the front of the outer wall.
“The vanguard of the beast tide is about five kilometers from here. At their speed, we have at most thirty seconds left.” Wang wore a gray cloak, his hand resting on the hilt of his [Yiyuan] blade, standing beside Left Qing, his aged face somewhat solemn.
“Thirty seconds, huh…”
Left Qing looked back at the battered outer wall of the fortress, as the cold wind swept across the cracked ground, raising dust. Before the empty outer wall, only their two figures remained.
“Will we make it?” Wang asked.
After a moment of silence, Left Qing replied with certainty, “We will.”
As his words fell, several figures wearing dark red cloaks climbed over the outer wall of Chennan Fortress, facing the direction of the oncoming beast tide, standing with their backs perfectly straight!
“Chennan Fortress Defense Line 5, Night Watchers Miao Su, Hong Ying, Wen Qimo, Mo Li, Chen Lu in position!”
Miao Su’s strong, resonant voice was the first to sound through the communication channel.
More and more dark red figures climbed to the top of the outer wall. Some stood tall, some appeared fatigued, some were covered in blood, but their eyes still shone with unprecedented light.
“Chennan Fortress Defense Line 4, Night Watchers Guang Qingsheng, Zhao Kun, Han Qing, Huang Yuande, Jiang Liu in position!”
“Chennan Fortress Defense Line 2, Night Watchers Yuan Gang, Zhang Zhengting, Li Xiang, Ren Ding, Cao Xinghai, Hong Yufei, Fei Zuo in position!”
“Chennan Fortress Defense Line 9…”
“…”
One after another, voices came through the communicator. The previously silent channel was now filled with the positioning calls of numerous Night Watchers!
Among the crowd, a dark red figure missing a leg, using a metal frame as a crutch, determinedly climbed the steps, gritting his teeth as he advanced toward the top of the outer wall. Suddenly he stumbled, losing balance and nearly falling to the ground, when a strong hand steadied his shoulder.
The wounded man looked back to see an old military doctor wearing a blood-stained white coat with graying hair, giving him a slight smile.
“Come, I’ll accompany you.”
The wounded man was startled at first, then saw behind the old doctor countless figures in military uniforms, medical attire, and logistics clothing converging toward them. After a moment of silence, he broke into a grin:
“Old man, when the fighting starts, all of you hide behind me.”
He pointed to his dark red cloak with the hand holding his straight blade, “Otherwise, I won’t be worthy of this cloak and emblem.”
“…Alright, as you say.”
The old doctor smiled wryly, supporting his body as they climbed step by step toward the top of the outer wall.
Upon reaching the top, the wounded man’s gaze swept across the many Night Watchers lined up, and the smile at the corner of his mouth grew deeper.
Standing beside everyone, facing the surging horde of divine beasts, he opened his headset and shouted:
“Night Watcher Li Zhengzhi in position!”
Countless cloaked figures stood atop the devastated outer wall, forming an impenetrable wall under the dusky sunset.
The outer wall of Chennan Fortress was broken,
But this dark red Great Wall still stood.
Boom boom–!!
Eight silver lightning pillars descended from the sky, like a wall, landing beside Left Qing. Eight black cloaks fluttered in the swirling dust.
Old Dog Wu stood on the central divine pillar, the communicator at his ear glowing slightly as his deep voice echoed through the channel:
“[Medium] Squad in position.”
As his words fell, two streaks of light crossed the sky in succession. Guan Zai wearing a baseball cap and the white-robed, white-haired Youliling Bai landed steadily beside everyone.
“Finally, it’s time for the decisive battle.” Guan Zai lifted the brim of his cap with his fingertip, looking at the dust raised by the beast horde in the distance, and sighed, “Even when I was a 996 programmer at the company, I wasn’t this tired…”
“Left Commander, I come… to… help you.” Youliling Bai’s tall figure smiled slightly, speaking in somewhat broken Chinese.
An ethereal carriage passed through from inside the outer wall. Wherever it went, space twisted, and countless green grasses covered the ground.
The crisp sound of copper bells echoed as the wooden door of the carriage opened automatically. Master Chen held a cup of hot tea in one hand, with the other behind his back, and said calmly:
“It seems everyone has arrived… It’s time to let those beasts know that even without the Great Xia God, our Great Xia is not to be trifled with.”
Beep beep beep!
A horn sounded from the distance. On the rugged, broken ground, an electric scooter with a flattened front wheel was bumping its way toward them.
Lu Wuwei’s helmet was gone, and he was covered in dust. He propped up the scooter with one foot and looked around, “Sorry, a giant beast just bit through my tire… I’m not late, am I?”
“Lu Wuwei, you should replace that vehicle when we get back.” Master Chen pointed at his own carriage, “Both have two wheels, but yours is far slower than mine.”
Lu Wuwei: …
Eight golden figures descended from the sky. Half of Xia Simeng’s body was charred black, but beneath her skin, fresh flesh was slowly regenerating.
Her voice sounded through the channel: “[Phoenix] Squad in position!”
Roar roar roar–!!
The roars of giant beasts echoed across the sky. Mountain-sized figures crowded together, rushing frantically toward Chennan Fortress. Dozens of two-headed birds circled above the beast tide, emitting piercing screeches.
One kilometer, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters… the distance between them and the humans rapidly decreased.
Powerful waves of air lifted Left Qing’s dark red cloak. His eyes flashed as he suddenly drew the straight blade from his waist!
Clang–!!
“Fight!!” Left Qing roared, and the many human powerhouses beside him charged forward.
On the outer wall, streams of dark red figures transformed into flowing lights, charging directly toward the beast tide. Various forbidden domains opened simultaneously, almost covering the entire sky.
Guan Zai stood in place, his hands rapidly typing in the void. Pale green code flowed like a tide in the air. The battlefield environment suddenly distorted. On the originally pitted ground, red bricks piled up, forming a maze like a sieve that instantly weakened the surging beast tide, diverting them to different battlefields.
“Can you hold on?” Youliling Bai asked with concern.
“I can hold a bit longer… hurry up.” Large beads of sweat rolled down Guan Zai’s forehead as he spoke through gritted teeth.
Youliling Bai nodded, his form transforming into a white light shooting skyward. His fingertip drew in the void, selecting a panel. Two mountain-sized red heavy mechs appeared out of thin air, falling at the forefront of the beast horde!
These two heavy mechs were the joint creation of Youliling Bai and Guan Zai. The armor on their shoulders automatically flipped, releasing a dense barrage of artillery fire that instantly created a wall of burning flames in the beast horde.
