Chapter 478 Fire
Chapter 478 ·Fire
The torch on the tower is still burning.
The light equivalent to the wide-area 'heroic art' still shines on this huge city-state.
If demon kings have realms, then the light of this torch can be regarded as Jiang Yu's realm. But under the light of the torch, the king could not see the king.
All the incoming demon kings have been defeated, and they have all become food for the human city. And the iron feet of the human city have definitely crossed the Bering Strait, which is not deep, and landed on the frozen wasteland of Alaska.
Food is rapidly transforming into power.
On the frozen soil of Alaska, the torch can no longer sense any signs of life. And when Jiang Yu held the thunder gun in her hand and responded with the strong hostility from the other side of the earth with the will to attack, instead of the previous conservative defense, the fantasy land of heaven that was preying on the fantasy land of Atlantis also Responded to him with a will of equal magnitude.
The sky was blown open like bubbles on a bathtub, the atmosphere lost its color, and the night stars were revealed above the day. The strong murderous intent from the other side constantly impacts the Torch Field, and even some cursed will penetrates the light barrier and falls on the human city residents in the Torch Field.
They are not Jiang Yu's companions.
His companions are not here, they are not like his companions that he can trust and rely on - they are his people, his extension, the objects he needs to protect and carry. And they were not his companions. He would not expect them to fight side by side with him and set foot on the battlefield he was rushing to.
Even if they resisted these remnants of hostility, even if they showed the desire to fight in the field of torches - the fanatical will to resist boiled among the crowd, even if he had not yet given the order, the residents of the human city were holding hands. Tighten your weapons and stare at the distant south.
But so what?
How much of this fighting spirit and courage comes from the torch on the tower, and how much comes from their own hearts? If the torch goes out for some reason at this moment, if they have to go outside the realm to face the power of heaven. So, how many of them will be knocked down by fear, and how many of them will only add to the trouble?
Jiang Yu was not sure, and he did not intend to verify the conjectures and possibilities.
He knew that the humans in this world had courage - they dared to face the fantasy land of the prosperous Pantheon and knocked down most of them. But he also knows that there are always only a few people with courage, and human beings struggle to live in order to survive and not to die.
The risk is too great for them to count on.
Jiang Yu stood up from the throne. Now he was able to leave the tower that stabilized the human city for a short time. His will quickly shaped the gun in his hand, and the irregular thunder gun was gradually carved into a stable shape.
The gun of judgment?
Well, that name seems pretty good. But until now, this gun has not been able to bear the weight that this name deserves.
Just like the giant city beneath his feet, it may never be able to bear the name Human City.
"General, what should we do?" The two subordinates did not leave the tower, but looked at him eagerly. There was fighting intent in their eyes, and they wanted to join the battlefield that was about to break out—the most intense battlefield.
Jiang Yu's mind was still filled with the way they had lost their composure after the torch protection had just been removed - maybe they just wanted to wash away the shame?
"Go to the defensive line." He chose as neutral a statement as possible. "The war is coming, and it will be more intense than every previous one. Go, rely on city defense to protect the unarmed people, and leave the remaining problems to me."
"But we can work with you-"
"The people are more important." Jiang Yu paused. "Don't be so obsessed with the battle itself that you forget the purpose of the battle."
"...as you command."
They're gone.
There was reluctance in their voices.
But they will understand, and they must understand. They will fulfill the promises they made, and there is no need for them to waste their lives.
They just have to work hard to stay alive.
Jiang Yu gently turned the gun in his hand. He sensed the presence coming from the south and approaching with increasing hostility. And the legions of Hellfire may now be able to annihilate the Demon King. But they are probably still powerless against individuals above regular demon kings.
Paper data is ineffective.
Once they join the battlefield, even the aftermath of the confrontation will kill them all in an instant.
And there are a total of such individuals approaching...
"There are three in total." Jiang Yu guessed their identities. They were the end point of this expedition, and he was sure to annihilate them all independently in the end.
They are in a similar realm to his current state, and in their bodies, there is a unique light supporting their bodies.
The Demon King is more powerful than the Demon King.
They gradually appear in the other side of the field of vision as the second hand rotates.
The giant red dragon stretches its fleshy wings, and the giant golden snake is covered with feathers. There is also a dark blue giant, as tall and strong as a mountain.
He saw them.
They saw him too.
The cutting spear vibrated gently, and even though it had no form, Jiang Yu seemed to sense some familiar smell. It was as if a very kind, even close companion was standing beside him at this moment, holding the gun in his hand with him.
It feels so good.
"Let's go side by side." He said, speaking to his companion who seemed to exist in the void. At this moment, he did not think about the familiar fire, nor did he divert his thoughts to those demons.
Then, it turned into lightning.
…………………………
"The general is disappointed in us."
When the crowd cheered and stared at the thunder that pierced the sky, Ren Zhen walked on the road to the front line of defense. Her companion walked beside her, listening to every word and sentence she spoke.
"I can feel that he wants companions, and he expects someone to fight alongside him. But he has no hope for us."
"Be careful what you say." A barrier that blocked the sound was released by Yang Xu, blocking the tones of voices escaping around her. "The general is doing his job and we just have to do ours. Do your job and everything will be fine."
There was an explosion in the distance.
Dazzling lightning burst out from the other side of the horizon, shooting out a brilliant wave of destruction. In a trance, people can see huge giants falling, giant snakes being hit by thunder guns, and collapsing mountains.
They cheered louder, not afraid of the power of the enemy coming from afar. Because they are under the protection of the Torch Domain, all negative emotions are erased the moment they are generated.
This is a very effective management facility. Its existence eliminates the internal conflicts and many nonsense that will inevitably occur when a wasteland force is rapidly integrating. There was no rape, no mental illness or gangs that oppressed good people.
It puts everyone in a greenhouse with abundant water and soil. No need to go through any ups and downs.
Even the rare and small challenges are all under the "sunny" sky.
So, can the flowers in the greenhouse survive the storm?
"You did not deny my statement." Ren Zhen's feet reached the outermost boundary of the giant city. Her eyes could no longer see through the thunderstorm that covered the entire battlefield. "You know I'm telling the truth."
In the distance, dust boils. A secondary wave of ghosts is about to join the battlefield.
Regardless of whether the flower can survive the storm, it will be bruised and bruised if it tries.
"There is little difference between meaningless truth and lies." The former Salvation Army staff officer stared into the distance and shook his head. "Our time is over. Now, we're not that different from a regular soldier... but we're still officers, so do what an officer is supposed to do. They're coming."
Ren Zhen was silent. She knew how mediocre her power was compared to the Hellfire equipment.
She turned back and looked at the Torch Tower at the top of the human city.
——If...the fire goes out...
She did not express the petty, rebellious, and even anti-human thoughts in her heart. She put all her tiny desire to win and her desire for expression under her own responsibilities.
She just turned around and headed towards the front line where she should stand.
And just as she looked away, at the end of her gaze, in the blank space outside the torch field, an invisible wave bloomed quietly.
The Torch Realm is the equivalent of the powerful Demon King's Realm.
The king does not see the king.
