The first city of China, the Northern Capital.
As the black fog obscured the sky, perhaps because the Three Suns Obscuring the Sun Formation from the Nine Kings era was also failing, the chaotic weather in the forbidden zone disappeared. As a result, the weather systems of major cities became useless, serving only a defensive purpose.
Under these circumstances, most of the residents of Beidu saw real snow for the first time in their lives.
The snow had been falling for several days, and the heavy snowfall, which could be described as covering the sky, covered most of the north. It also seemed to cover up all the ruins in the surrounding restricted areas. At least from the sky, the entire northern capital and the surrounding area were covered in a silvery white, creating an unusual sense of quiet beauty.
Unaware of the danger, the residents of Beidu happily took to the streets. If the city walls hadn't been closed, many would probably have wanted to go up and take photos.
They were unaware of the deadly danger lurking beneath the pristine white landscape outside the city. They simply passed on the saying, "A timely snow promises a bountiful year," hoping that after this heavy snowfall, all the crises from the "gate" would disappear, and everything would return to normal as it was two years ago.
Marquis Wuding wanted to use the Chamber of Commerce to tell all the people of Beidu the true situation, but after heated discussions, the many princes and nobles ultimately chose a compromise.
The common people at the bottom level were still completely unaware of the situation outside the city, but all the warriors with a certain level of combat power already knew that Beidu had been surrounded by the allied forces of the alien races, and the time for the decisive battle had arrived.
In the words of Yi Dao Hou: "Even if the common people know, it will be of no use. If we are defeated, they can still enjoy their last moments of peace. If we are victorious, it will not be too late to report then... As for warriors with certain combat strength, they are also the backbone of our human race. They should fight to the last moment to show the blood and spirit of our human race."
These words convinced all the kings and nobles.
Therefore, at this moment, on the city wall of Beidu, which is three hundred meters high, all the warriors guarding this place wearing armor, even those with the lowest cultivation level, are at the peak of high martial arts, and there are also a large number of mountain and sea warriors among them.
Below the city walls, in the sprawling camps, there were countless martial artists serving as a reserve force to prepare for any possible siege. Their duty was to protect the ordinary people of Beidu.
At this moment, on a section of the eastern city wall marked "civilian garrison," the patrolling warriors who pass by from time to time will unconsciously cast their gazes toward a certain heroic figure standing there.
The light armor did not conceal her tall and slender figure. Her beautiful hair was tied into a high ponytail. She gazed into the distance, but even just her slightly aloof profile revealed a breathtaking beauty.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the girl turned around and looked at another girl who had somehow appeared behind her.
This girl was also wearing expensive psionic armor. Her aura, unique to mountain and sea warriors, was powerful but unstable, suggesting that she had only recently broken through to the next level.
Have we met before?
Ding Yi looked at the girl whose features were slightly delicate but extremely beautiful, frowned and asked a question.
"I...I'm Jiang Xuan." The girl was a little flustered, but she still mustered up her courage to say, "I want to ask you about...what happened to Shen before he sank."
Ding Yi was taken aback at first, then she understood. She stared at the other person with an ambiguous look in her eyes, "Jiang Xuan... I've heard of you."
"I...I'm sorry!"
Jiang Xuan's expression changed instantly, and she turned to leave in a panic.
But Ding Yi's hand held her firmly.
Jiang Xuan turned her head, puzzled, and heard Ding Yi say softly, "It's alright... Shen Qian, he's not in Beidu, but he's not in any danger."
"Isn't he in Beidu?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan, though disappointed, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her speech became smoother.
Ding nodded and fell silent again.
Just as Jiang Xuan was starting to feel uneasy again, the girl in front of her, whose appearance and demeanor made her feel inferior, suddenly spoke up: "Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Ah...me?"
Jiang Xuan asked in astonishment, not thinking that she could do anything that Ding Yi couldn't do.
"Give this to Chen Qian for me."
As Ding Yi spoke, he took out a bracelet and placed it in Jiang Xuan's hand.
Jiang Xuan was somewhat stunned. "This is... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
She asked the question instinctively, then realized her mistake and quickly shook her head.
“It’s nothing, just my ‘farewell’. I was worried about how to hand it over to him, but now it seems that you are the most suitable person.”
Ding Yi smiled slightly.
Jiang Xuan wasn't stupid; she quickly understood Ding Yi's subtext. She cautiously asked, "Beidu... really can't be defended? Otherwise..."
“I’m not like you.” Before Jiang Xuan could finish speaking, Ding Yi shook his head and said, “The human race has too few top-tier combatants right now, and I have no reason to back down.”
"But I..."
No, you must survive.
Ding Yi stared at Jiang Xuan and said in an unquestionable tone.
While Jiang Xuan was at a loss, Ding Yi whispered again, "If you also die here, who will be there to keep him company?"
Jiang Xuan's body trembled slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she ultimately said nothing.
Ding Yi smiled again, about to say something more, when suddenly there was a loud "boom" and the entire capital shook violently.
The violent roar seemed to come from underground, and even the seemingly indestructible towering city walls trembled. Although the warriors stationed on them quickly regained their footing, most of them still looked surprised and didn't know what had happened.
