Free Web NovelChapter 1651: Chapter 1650: Holding the Line with Our Lives!
Yin Chuan listened to everyone’s anxious voices, frowned, slammed the table angrily, and said, "Shut up!!"
The command room quieted down.
But then someone got anxious again.
"Yeah! As long as the green mountains are preserved, there’s no fear of running out of firewood. We should preserve the army, first withdraw from Lake City, and then wait for Yanhuang Department’s 200,000 troops to recover before dealing with the World Alliance together."
"I also think we should do this. Now that Doggo has recovered, plus the enemy’s surge, even the Steel Fortress cannot hold for long."
"..."
Yin Chuan looked at their anxious faces and said again, "Do you know what the consequences are of taking Xumi Land?"
"Consequences?"
Someone said, "The consequence might be that they occupy Xumi Land, able to avoid the upcoming catastrophe, but we can also avoid it with the ’Soul of the Country’!!"
"Yes, yes, we have the Soul of the Country!"
"Although avoiding the catastrophe with Soul of the Country will turn all of us with cultivation into cripples, it’s still better than dying."
"With the protection of Soul of the Country, at least we can survive."
"..."
Everyone kept talking.
Yin Chuan slammed the table once more, furious, and shouted, "Look at how scared you are, do you deserve the protection of the ’Soul of the Country’? You are commanders!!"
"..."
Everyone couldn’t help but fall silent, their expressions extremely grim.
Yin Chuan continued, "There’s one more thing I haven’t told you, an Old Monster lives in Xumi Land, and once this place cannot be held, when the World Alliance releases the Old Monster, our entire world will sacrifice billions of lives!! Do you think we have a way out??"
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes filled with horror.
They didn’t know about the news of Master Gu Cha in Xumi Land.
"Really, really??"
A Deputy Commander said in shock.
"Nonsense! Do you think I’m lying?"
Yin Chuan said coldly.
"..."
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp, glancing at each other.
"Then, then... what should we do now?" Someone was worried, their head spinning with urgency.
"Obey Qin Feng’s orders, hold the Sky Mirror, activate the Steel Fortress!!" Yin Chuan’s eyes were like torches and said, "We have no retreat now, only by obeying Qin Feng can we see the light of hope, do you understand?!!"
Everyone: "..."
Yin Chuan looked around and continued, "I’ll say it once more! Activate the Steel Fortress, hold the Sky Mirror! Always obey Qin Feng!!"
Upon finishing.
Without waiting for them to react, Xiao Lian had already stepped up to the command stage, glanced at it, saw a button with the words "Steel Fortress," and pressed it without hesitation!
"No, don’t..."
The commanders were shocked when they saw the situation.
Once pressed, it means the Steel Fortress is activated, and it means they’ll be trapped here with no possibility of retreat.
Looking at their fearful and soulless appearances, Yin Chuan loudly rebuked, "You experienced commanders, not even as brave as a woman, I feel ashamed for you!!"
"..."
Everyone blushed again.
No choice.
This time, the enemy surge was even more intense, revealing hopelessness everywhere.
In this environment, they temporarily lost their sanity.
At this moment.
Everyone suddenly felt a fierce tremor!
Yin Chuan looked at the big screen.
He knew that the last line of defense in Lake City — the Steel Fortress — had been activated!!
Outside, Sky Mirror.
Standing high atop a destroyed Water Monster Machine, Doggo watched as nearly a million people flooded around the Sky Mirror, and smiled proudly, "The world must ultimately bow before me, Doggo, hahahaha..."
At this moment.
Around the Sky Mirror, huge cracks suddenly erupted as if from an earthquake, up to several tens of meters wide!!
Many people who rushed to the front couldn’t stop and fell directly into them.
The next moment.
From the cracks, a titanium alloy wall suddenly protruded and extended upward, eventually meeting at the top.
From afar.
It looked like a huge iron pot covering the lake surface of the Sky Mirror!
However, the top left a circular opening for personnel to fight outward.
The World Alliance approached the Steel Fortress and was shocked by this massive object, not knowing what it was.
At this time.
Only the "ka, ka" sound of mechanical movement was heard.
Steel walls opened dozens of small doors, and then deployed thousands of machine guns, densely packed, numbering tens of thousands!!
Following this.
Yin Chuan ordered, "Fire!!"
Da-da-da-da-da-da!!!
Tens of thousands of machine guns began to madly sweep all around!!
The World Alliance saw this and hurried to dodge.
But the density was too high.
Many were still hit.
Moreover, the bullets fell like a storm, never stopping.
Once the bullets were finished, reserve personnel immediately rotated them upward again.
The Four Great Armies still had 700,000 people left, apart from the 90,000 people moved by teleportation to Water Cloud Gorge, the rest operated the massive Steel Fortress, there’s no worry of insufficient personnel.
Outside.
A World Alliance leader saw this, frowned, and said, "Just mortal guns, take them down!!"
Mages began releasing Fireball Technique, Thunder Technique, etc.
But.
The Steel Fortress also had special Rune Arrays.
Facing the attacks of Fireball and Thunder Techniques, there was no fear.
No matter how they bombed, they couldn’t breach it for a short time.
"Damn..."
That leader frowned tightly, ordered again, "Attack from the air!!"
Soon.
Many mages and some Eastern cultivators all flew into the air, wanting to attack from the arc-top circular opening.
However.
When they reached the air.
The arc-top suddenly shot out rockets, fiercely bombing them!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
No matter how high their cultivation, facing such a dense rocket barrage, they could only retreat.
"Damn, watch me!!"
That leader raised his scepter and shouted, "Ice Universe!!"
Instantly.
A huge ice serpent emerged from his scepter, extending towards the Steel Fortress.
Just as it touched the Steel Fortress.
The entire massive fortress instantly got frozen.
"Humph, let’s see how you’ll attack!"
The leader said proudly.
In the Command Room.
Young Master Bai He saw this and said, "Piece of cake — First group of Array Masters, dispel!"
Upon finishing.
The group of Array Masters prepared around the fortress took out a large number of Array Pearls, slapped them on the steel walls in unison, and shouted, "Dispel!!"
Bang!!
With a loud explosion.
The ice layer covering the fortress instantly shattered!
"Da-da-da-da-da!!!"
Tens of thousands of machine guns started shooting again!
