Chapter 769: Chapter 136: Battle Begins

On the coast of the Eastern Sea, within the Traverse Mountain Range, the Four Extremes Four Spirits Array had been activated in succession. Four statues, once creatures slain by the Empress, served as focal points of the array, guarding the four extremities of the great Xia and slaying all intruders.

However, due to the extensive length of the national borders under the relentless assault of the monsters, the energy of the Four Extremes Four Spirits Array was rapidly depleting, and its breach was only a matter of time.

At that moment, the skies above Xia were ablaze with mystical clouds and a myriad of splendid hues.

Online, everyone was marveling at this spectacular phenomenon, unaware that Xia was now teetering on the brink of peril.

The atmosphere in the Tingming Chamber was heavy as staff continuously relayed updates from the border into the conference hall.

In the spacious conference hall, Wu Tianyan and other members of the council along with rotating generals sat upright, their gazes fixed unblinkingly on the large screen above.

"Four Extremes Four Spirits guard East Zhou, the Earth Scale Flood Dragon holds the Azure Dragon decree here."

"Any intruders—Kill!"

Amid the colorful aurora, an Earth Scale Flood Dragon, its body covered with nodules, breathed lightning. The rolling ground devoured and crushed countless mutant creatures, and the seeping blood from beneath the earth turned the land within dozens of miles into a muddy swamp.

When the video ended, Wu Tianyan, with a look of grave concern, swept his eyes across his colleagues: "Do you have anything to say?"

Loyal to the Jade Deer Army, Lu Anan stood up and saluted, "Old Wu, we recently received a request for aid from the ’East Zhou Mutual Assistance Alliance,’ hoping we can provide medical and defensive support."

The conference hall was quiet as the older members of the council exchanged looks and subtly shook their heads.

Nobody spoke, which meant there was no agreement to discuss. The ’East Zhou Mutual Assistance Alliance’ was nominally protected by Xia, but in such critical times, the safety of the nation’s citizens was paramount. Harsh as it might sound, that was the reality.

Wu Tianyan cleared his throat and tapped on the table. "Let’s discuss the domestic situation instead. According to reports, the Four Extremes Four Spirits Array is quickly weakening under these assaults. At this rate, it will completely lose effectiveness within a day."

"We need to come up with an effective solution within this time frame, to minimize the damage this disaster causes."

"Easier said than done," Old Qi, the elder with a long face, shook his head: "Three years ago, the traces of those other races suddenly disappeared. We thought they would not appear again, and with the emergence of the ’East Zhou Mutual Assistance Alliance,’ our border pressures were significantly alleviated, leading to a large-scale withdrawal of stationed troops."

"But who would have thought, they suddenly resurfaced. To mobilize such a large scale of troops in one day is indeed very difficult."

The military-dressed elder glared, his neck stiffening as he argued, "Old Qi, what are you implying? Are we to just let them come in unchecked?"

"Who said we’re not handling it?" Old Qi was clearly annoyed, but he refrained from erupting, continuing, "I think, since the border is distant and sparsely populated, if we redeploy our troops to more central regions, it would not only alleviate the strain of troop redeployment but also provide a vast buffer area..."

Bang!

The military-dressed elder’s irritation grew intolerable, and he slammed the table, standing up, "You old defeatist, you’re willing to discard our ancestors’ hard-won territory that easily, you’re endorsing surrender!"

As the two were about to argue again, Wu Tianyan quickly intervened. He rubbed his nose bridge, feeling a headache brewing. From a rational standpoint, Old Qi’s suggestion was indeed a practical solution that would reduce Xia’s burden.

However, he could not make this decision--no one could--without being condemned by posterity.

The conference hall became profoundly quiet; someone sighed, "It’s a good thing we have the Empress’s Four Extremes Four Spirits Array, or you wouldn’t have the leisure to argue here."

"If only she were still around..."

As if recalling something, Wu Tianyan spoke up, "Where did she go?"

Secretary Sun offered a bitter smile, "That dragon appears without showing its head, and there has been no news for almost a month."

"We can’t keep delaying like this." Wu Tianyan made up his mind, "All military districts must fully operate the transmission array, sending as many soldiers as possible to the frontline while notifying pioneers and executors to provide necessary assistance."

"Especially the pioneers, issuing the highest level of tasks. As long as they are capable, we must not be stingy with rewards."

At this point, Wu Tianyan tapped his forehead, "The vaccine, we must ensure the supply of the vaccine."

"Yes!"

The four rotating generals saluted and hurriedly left.

Wu Tianyan looked at Secretary Sun, "Try your best to find that person’s traces, and send the latest intelligence about the frontline as soon as possible.

Secretary Sun nodded, "Understood, Old Wu."

After the order was issued from Tingming Pavilion, the entire Great Xia started operating like a machine.

In the Pioneers Tower, all the sky terraces opened, and one flying beast after another flew out in an orderly manner, rushing towards the sky.

All the executors from the executors department sprung into action. Due to its special nature, the executors mainly handled intelligence transmission, providing updates on the monster armies’ movements.

The large-scale mobilization also caught the attention of civilians. Eventually, the authorities stopped restricting news related to the monsters and generously allowed war correspondents to broadcast live around the clock.

Of course, such a major hotspot also stirred the interest of various internet celebrities, who tried everything to get to the frontline, placing every potential battlefield under the public eye of the Great Xia.

The first battle started earlier than expected. Amidst the bustling nationwide preparations, the Four Extremes Four Spirits Array finally couldn’t hold on anymore, shattering into colorful fragments under the assault of the monster horde.

In the Gallowan Valley, the dark brown mountains were covered with minced flesh, and the dried riverbeds of the dry season flowed with sticky blood, its pungent stench lingering for a long time.

"Sswah!"

With the fall of the Four Extremes Four Spirits, monsters surged down from the mountain peaks like a tidal wave, their fierce faces filled with greed.

Under the gaze of all soldiers, Luo Feng, in neat military uniform, slowly pulled off his gloves, took off his uniform and threw it to the ground, removed his glasses, his pupils turning into dim yellow vertical slits, and sharp canine teeth grew out of his mouth.

Seeing the approaching horde of mutant creatures, Luo Feng’s face showed a frenzy, "Brothers, kill for me!"

"Woo!"

Sin Fox’s nine tails flared out, wildly dancing in the wind as the volatile fire elements quickly condensed into fireballs.

Boom, boom, boom!

The continuous fireballs exploded among the mutant creatures, flinging countless limbs and body parts into the sky, and the border guards, as if injected with adrenaline, commanded their pets to attack.

Masses of mutant creatures fell, and border guards also faced casualties; the scene was extremely brutal.

Civilians in the hinterlands, watching the blood and flesh flying in the live broadcast, saw various keyboard warriors suddenly go silent.

Because the real battle was far more brutal than they had imagined.
