Jiang Cheng: You're oversimplifying things. Licheng has defenses, but we don't. If a real battle breaks out, artillery shells will come flying in!
Jingcheng: Yeah, if they break through, a lot of civilians will die!
Li Cheng: Since I dared to bring this up, it proves I have a solution. You can give me ownership of the coastal districts of your respective cities first.
After we defeat the enemy, I will return all ownership to you, including ownership of the previous safe zone.
"I have enough of Licheng; I don't need so much territory. If you don't trust me, we can sign a contract. I can't go back on my word once it's in black and white."
Fang Xiyue thought that this was a good opportunity to return all ownership of the safe zone.
She had previously seen messages in the city lords' group discussing reclaiming ownership, but they may have posted it to the wrong group, in the city lords' group where she was also present.
Although they realized what was happening and withdrew afterward, Fang Xiyue had already seen everything she was supposed to see.
It turns out that their initial willingness to give up ownership was the result of their discussions.
Fang Xiyue figured she could just take it back after they had fought off the zombie siege, since they would pay for it anyway, and she wouldn't lose out.
When Fang Xiyue saw the message, she didn't know how she felt; she couldn't describe it.
It's been dragging on for so long now, if they won't bring it up, then she'll bring it up herself. She doesn't want to provide them with convenience while simultaneously creating resentment in their hearts.
Originally, ownership of these safe zones was not a task assigned by the system, except for Star City.
The one in Xingcheng will be returned eventually, and that protective energy shield isn't actually that useful.
Luo Cheng: Xi Yue, if that's how you put it, then I agree.
Then came a series of "agreements," which was exactly what Fang Xiyue had expected.
Haicheng: We Haicheng residents don't need that. I feel reassured with Xiyue around.
Haicheng is managed by Commander Song, who is also Song Yifan's father, so he trusts Fang Xiyue more.
Li Cheng: Uncle, no need. With Song Yifan's connection, I will definitely not refuse to help Haicheng if he needs it in the future. I still have to return the safe zone to Haicheng.
After all, if you give me 300 million every year, even if you don't have any objections, the survivors will.
However, you must give me the corresponding number of days' worth of crystals for the duration you've used my protection mechanism.
Fang Xiyue didn't want Haicheng to become everyone's target.
Finally, everyone reached a consensus, and Fang Xiyue took advantage of the time she had to travel to the six cities.
After signing the agreement, I checked in and obtained ownership of six coastal districts in the city.
This was done secretly; no one in the other cities knew about it, including Commander Wu.
Fang Xiyue also instructed them to set up cannons along the coast first, mainly because she was worried that the enemy would launch a night attack, and it would be too time-consuming to bring cannons over to these cities.
The cannons were placed on the coast, ready for battle at any time. The coastline was also reinforced with solid ground to prevent the cannons from sinking.
Of course, it's not impossible to sail out and fight, but since the protection mechanism can only protect the area within the coast, once you sail out, you might get bombed by the enemy.
Fang Xiyue discussed with them for a long time before deciding to place the cannons on the other side of the sea. If someone really attacked, the cannons would be used to assist the superhumans in their attack.
Even if the other party arrives at your doorstep, they can't come in, leaving them anxious and helpless.
——
That night.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Seven coastal cities were attacked, and the sound of artillery fire filled the air.
All the city lords of the seven cities were asleep except for Fang Xiyue, who was awakened by the system.
She arrived at the seaside alone and saw countless warships coming from the sea.
I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. It seems they had already reached an agreement on the joint invasion, and the invasion by Japan and the Ming Dynasty was just a test.
The sound of cannons roused the sleeping people, and the lords of the other six cities were also awakened, as the soldiers on the beach discovered traces of warships.
By the time the city lords arrived at the seaside, the war had already been going on for a while.
A large number of superhumans also gathered around Fang Xiyue. "Fellow countrymen, those who offend our China will be killed without mercy!"
Fang Xiyue stood on the high ground and raised the flag that belonged to their country, China.
Because of the large number of people involved, apart from Zhu Guangyuan and his group who used cannons to bombard the enemy, all the other superhumans used their superpowers to attack.
The fire-type ability user threw out a fireball, the wind-type ability user helped spread it out, and the water-type ability user stirred up the sea surface.
The cacophony of sounds echoed through the night as Fang Xiyue threw a ball of light energy directly into the sky above the warships, illuminating the darkness completely.
Everything on the warship was clearly visible, which undoubtedly helped everyone find their target more easily.
Fang Xiyue used her various supernatural abilities to fight off the enemy. Roughly estimated, a total of 5 million people had come. Ha, they really intended to completely annihilate their Huaguo.
Of course, the 5 million people did not come together, because they did not have that many ships.
Apart from Japan and the United States, which had Level 2 superhumans, no other country had any; they all used guns and cannons.
"Peak Squad, follow me, we're going to throw bombs!"
After Fang Xiyue finished speaking, she gave each member of the Peak Squad 10 bombs.
Their goal wasn't to attack the warships at the forefront, but rather to attack those behind them, depriving them of any follow-up support.
The entire Peak Squad spread their wings, carrying bomb bags, and followed Fang Xiyue into the sky.
Of course, the enemy quickly noticed their appearance, but it didn't matter. With the energy shield activated, they couldn't hit them at all.
Once they reached high in the sky, Fang Xiyue gave the order, and everyone started throwing in unison.
Fang Xiyue removed the energy shield for a second, and as soon as the bomb left, she quickly put the energy shield back on.
The enemy soldiers below were furious; they had aimed very accurately but hadn't killed a single person.
On the contrary, their warships were bombed one after another, and some ships were even directly penetrated.
Fang Xiyue summoned bolts of lightning that struck the ships, and people were hit and killed instantly.
"This doesn't make sense! Why are they so powerful?!"
"Why do they have so many advanced superhumans, while we have so few?"
Below, enemy soldiers loudly denounced the injustice of Heaven.
The sea was once again dyed red, stretching for hundreds of miles.
The battle lasted for nearly four hours, and it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Licheng was the easiest to attack, while the other six cities were a bit more difficult to conquer, as the warships were already at our doorstep.
However, due to the protection mechanism, those people couldn't get in at all, and the shells they fired couldn't get in either.
"This is really strange! The Chinese community practices witchcraft! They know witchcraft!"
There was nothing in front of them, but the shells just wouldn't penetrate, and they couldn't get in either.
Some people from the enemy country, not believing in the superstition, jumped up and tried to leap over it, but they bumped into something and were bounced back.
