Chapter 1035: Light of Hope (Part 3)
What is doomsday?
Earthquake?
Tsunami?
Volcanic eruption?
resident Evil?
Planet collision?
Solar storm?
Or swallowed by a black hole?
These things that normally seem very powerful were not considered doomsday before this war of heavenly fire.
The real doomsday is war, a war that sweeps across the universe! The Holy City is the last hope of the races on the ground. This city carries the fate of too many people. Once the Holy City is breached, no one will be able to stop the army of the endless races. At that time, all the cities around the endless battlefield will fall! After the endless battlefield, it will be the ground of the metaverse. The military forces of these countries themselves are not strong, and they can't fight against the masters of the endless races.
Then there is the New Territories, which is an extremely weak civilization and will be conquered easily.
By then, hundreds of millions of people will become slaves. The Endless race itself is a brutal race, and it is undoubtedly a luxury to expect them to treat the captives well.
But people have run out of options.
The Holy City is now surrounded by a large army of endless races, with no way out. They even deployed heavy troops on the edge of the Skyfire Continent to prevent the ground races from sending reinforcements.
In fact, the ground races did not have enough strength to provide reinforcements. The great defeat at the Tianjie River severely damaged the combat effectiveness of the ground races at this stage of divine transformation, and a total of more than 100 billion warriors died in the battle.
Those who died in the previous battle were the main combat forces. Even if we temporarily organize a team to go there, they will only be slaughtered by the enemy.
The Holy City was surrounded on all sides and was in imminent danger.
Near the endless battlefield, people have already migrated with their families, and spaceships can be seen running around everywhere in the starry sky.
It’s just that these ordinary people’s spaceships are not very reliable. Instead, many air crashes have occurred, resulting in a lot of casualties.
The helpless people can only hope for a miracle to happen and that the holy city will not fall.
********* In the temporary official residence of the Holy City, the strong men of the Hall of Fame of the ground races gathered together.
When the Hall of Fame was first expanded, there were 300 people here, which was quite a grand event.
But now the seats are empty one after another. All the Hall of Fame gathered together, but there are less than 100! In the battle of Tianjie River, more than 200 Hall of Fame fell. Especially before the collapse of the last line of defense, the Endless Race focused on the attack, leaving many Hall of Fame strongmen in the chaos.
In just one battle at the Fifth War Zone Command Post, Dizang and Dong Xuehan teamed up to kill more than thirty Hall of Fame ancient warriors! If it weren't for these Hall of Fame's desperate protection, the commander-in-chief Jiu Xuan might have perished in the Tianjie River.
Of the top ten in the Hall of Fame, only Qiong Jing and He Ying are left.
The Dragon King died, Ye Xingcai died, Lin Zhen died, and the Heavenly Swordsman died.
Even Augustine betrayed the ground race and joined the endless race.
Jiu Xuan's gaze swept across the faces of the remaining Hall of Fame one by one, and everyone looked a little decadent.
The Holy City has been completely blocked, and even the surrounding space has been locked. The other party monitors it day and night. There are no gaps or blind spots, and no one can break out of the blockade.
And it is impossible for them to break out. Where can they go if they break out?
Wandering among the stars? No one wants to do that.
A depressing atmosphere filled the room. After a long time, Jiuxuan spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Have all the losses been counted?”
"Commander-in-chief, the statistics have been compiled. In the battle of Tianjie River, our total number of participants was 150 billion, and the loss was 126.7 billion. Among them, there were 206 Hall of Fame warriors and 1.55 million King-level warriors."
The muscles on Jizo's face twitched a few times, and after a moment of silence, he said, "What about the Endless Race?"
"Comparatively speaking, the Endless race has much fewer people than us because we were betrayed and too many people died in the great rout. Their losses will not exceed 40 billion. The Hall of Fame only had more than 90 people killed in the battle, which is less than half of ours."
Hearing these numbers, Jiuxuan's heart sank.
There are still more than 200 people in the other side's Hall of Fame, and among them there are more masters, which is in sharp contrast to our side.
In Jiuxuan's opinion, there are three main reasons for the failure of this battle.
The first is the overall strength comparison between the two sides. So many years of comfortable life have made the ground races lazy.
However, the Endless Race worked hard and diligently, and eventually cultivated so many masters. Their overall combat effectiveness is slightly higher than that of the ground race.
The second is the strength of the other side's high-end combat power. The ground race has only three perfect strong men, while the endless race has five perfect strong men.
In the final battle at Tianjie River, four powerful opponents raided the first and ninth command posts, making Yingsha and others unable to resist and leading to their defeat. In addition, Dong Xuehan suddenly joined in and teamed up with Dizang to beat Jiuxuan and injure him. This was also one of the main reasons for the failure. No one could resist the opponent's top masters.
Another reason was Augustine's betrayal. There had been some signs of this from the beginning. After Lin Zhen died in battle, Augustine naturally took over the command of the Eighth War Zone, which resulted in the tragedy.
Jiuxuan thought he was wrong in this matter. Augustine and Lin Zhen were not on good terms, but he wanted to put the two of them together so that they could put aside their conflicts in the face of national justice.
But during the Hall of Fame Challenge, Augustine had used some demonic methods that were extremely evil, which was obviously related to the Endless Race.
Because Jiuxuan was an ancient warrior, he didn't care much about the affairs of the previous Hall of Fame, which was one of the reasons that led to the tragedy.
It seems a little late to summarize the lessons learned now. The gods are forbidden to intervene in the Heavenly Fire War. The existence of gods can only ensure that the race will not be extinct. Other things have nothing to do with them.
Victory or defeat has nothing to do with the gods; they are from another world.
Only these Hall of Fame people are the culprits for the failure of the war.
Seeing Jiuxuan silent, Yingsha asked, "Commander-in-chief, what should we do next?"
Jiuxuan thought for a while and let out a deep breath.
“What other options do we have?”
No one intervened. Everyone knew that the situation was so bad that there was no good solution.
They could not think of any solution except to defend the holy city and fight to the death with the endless races.
Could it be that there will be super powerful beings below the level of gods coming to the Holy City to relieve the pressure here?
Perhaps you won’t be able to find such a strong person in the entire universe.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Jiu Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that everyone is very clear about the current situation. Then I will tell you what I think."
"Everyone, don't count on surrendering. We have been fighting for so long, and we won't get any preferential treatment if we surrender. Don't count on escaping either. The Skyfire Continent is now in a state where we can't get out or go in. It's impossible to escape."
"With the war going on like this, I, Jiuxuan, have no face to return to my hometown. My only thought is to do everything I can to defend the Holy City. Even if I die in battle, I want to die here!"
Jiu Xuan stood up excitedly: "We have to stay here and do our best to consume the enemy's manpower. As long as we kill one more enemy, our compatriots will have less pressure in the future. The longer the better. This is the only thing we can do!"
Jiuxuan's passion also infected many people. These warriors stood up one after another and expressed their determination to live and die with the Holy City.
"Okay, I'll assign tasks. Everyone, take turns guarding the walls of the Holy City. Also, look for your friends in other dimensions. When the Heavenly River was defeated, the Endless Race chased our main force and many of their stragglers were scattered. They must still be in the Skyfire Continent. Contact them and let them form a force to harass the Endless Race from behind and relieve the pressure on the Holy City!"
The Hall of Fame members agreed in unison and went about their own business.
After Jiuxuan said this, he sat down on the chair somewhat dejectedly. He didn't know how long his arrangement could last, but for now he could only hold on for one more day. Maybe if he delayed it for one more day, a miracle would happen.
That was all he could think of.
********** The Endless Race did not immediately launch a general attack on the Holy City.
Because they also have a lot of things to deal with, such as stabilizing the edge of the Skyfire Continent and preventing the ground races from sending reinforcements.
For example, to subdue the surrendered troops brought by Augustine and prevent any trouble from happening among the people of these ground races.
For example, sending people to search the Tianhuo Continent to find the warriors of the ground races scattered everywhere.
When the Tianjie River collapsed, too many warriors from the ground races were scattered. They were not idle either. After gaining a foothold, they attacked the army of the endless races from various directions.
There were even two groups of warriors that gradually grew in size and formed a team of over a million people.
But they also had a fatal flaw, which was the lack of a leader. They were led by a powerful king, but they were ambushed by people sent by the endless races and ended up being annihilated.
It is difficult for a group of scattered soldiers to become a big force. As time goes by, they gradually lose their ability to restrain the endless races.
Everyone knows that when the front lines of the endless races are stabilized, it is time to launch the final attack on the Holy City.
Perhaps the fate of the ground race is really entering a countdown.
********** Deep in the sea of clouds of the Tianjie River, there is a little light flickering among the vast clouds.
If you take a high-power magnifying glass from the highest level of civilization and observe this place carefully, you will find that there is a little dust in the air.
The dust is so tiny that it is difficult to detect and countless times smaller than normal dust, but it does exist.
That is an infinitely compressed dust, which cannot exist under normal circumstances.
Only the power of a black hole can do this.
This little bit of light flickered at an almost imperceptible brightness, as if something was gestating inside.
Today is the third update, for the master of this book, (Jelly Box) will add more updates.
