Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams-Chapter 956 - 568: Black Tide Prelude, Ark Restoration_2
Upon witnessing this scene.
The expressions of many high-ranking members on the fortress walls were complex. They looked up to the sky at the center of the flying unit, where a special flying device with the insignia of a golden spear was situated.
"Even the Forbidden Army has arrived."
"It was expected. The situation in Taiduo Country is so chaotic, as the first line of defense, we naturally require heavy military support."
"Alas, speaking of which, compared to war, I am actually more worried about the Black Tide... Every fortress is a critical node of the Iron Curtain. If an invasion truly occurs, we may be the first to be hit."
The advanced lords and legion commanders spoke in deep tones, many with some anxiety.
The matter of the Black Tide grew increasingly intense, causing Taiduo Country to shrink its battle lines comprehensively.
Yet, instead of feeling joy, their spirits grew heavier.
As old adversaries of Taiduo Country, they naturally understood how strong the civilization was.
But even so, the situation was barely stable, implying significant consequences.
"If the worst comes, will the Flame User step in?"
Someone sighed, holding onto a glimmer of hope.
Many glances shifted because of this remark, quietly turning toward the steel structure in the city below the fortress.
"Perhaps he’s merely here for these resources." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Actually, we shouldn’t cooperate with him like this. It’s possible that when the Black Tide comes, he will just stand aside and leave by himself."
Someone harbored resentment, thinking of the uncertain result from that day.
Without direct confirmation, it’s highly likely due to fear of the Black Tide.
"We shouldn’t say that, hasn’t the Flame User been here all along?"
"Nonsense, we’ve been providing resources to him. If you were in his place, would you leave?"
An argument broke out, with both sides holding firm.
Faced with this situation, Xu Lishan also sighed.
Their interaction with the Flame User was too brief; no one could ascertain the true answer.
However, remembering the Emperor’s instructions.
He ultimately spoke up to quell the dispute and stop the spectacle.
"Enough."
"As long as the Flame User is at the fortress for one day, he is our companion."
"Do not doubt or question any further."
The crowd listened with mixed expressions; some were disgruntled and snorted coldly, but ultimately said nothing more.
Until finally, seeing the flying unit progressively land from the sky, the airborne device in the center opened its hatch, three strong figures stepped out.
"General Xu, the Emperor sent us to collaborate with the army and guard the fortress."
"If there’s anything necessary, please don’t hesitate to command."
The voice landed, full of confidence.
The three strongmen from the Empire’s Forbidden Army were all Legendary Level Transformed People, each wearing a big brim hat bearing the Empire’s emblem, draped in brown military coats, and wearing military boots.
Metal armor and advanced combat uniforms were worn inside, with the two on the sides, a man and a woman, either burly and tall, their muscles built like great apes, or with short, sharp hair, casually with hands in pockets.
As for the leader at the center, despite appearing lean, he was rather muscular and capable, a man of about thirty with messy long hair.
"Commander Kai is too kind."
"With your assistance in guarding the fortress, we are immensely grateful, how can we talk about orders..."
Smiling and shaking hands, Xu Lishan was well aware of the special status of these Forbidden Army strongmen.
All were Imperial Guards, deeply trusted.
Moreover, the role of the commander required the completion of the Third Stage of Legendary Transformation to qualify.
"General Xu is too modest."
With a calm smile, the man called Commander Kai withdrew his hand.
Immediately, his gaze swept over the other legion commanders and advanced lords present.
"It seems the Flame User is not here?"
"Hmm, the Flame User is currently in retreat, practicing."
Nodding, Xu Lishan explained the situation.
Since visiting the day before, Chen Feng had not received guests, nor had he shown himself.
Only Pandor appeared from time to time to check the resources.
"I understand."
Not asking further, the man named Commander Kai concluded the conversation, understanding the fortress situation, before leading his men away.
The footsteps passing by grew farther away, many advanced lords who wished to approach were deeply disappointed.
"Commander, do you think the Flame User is as strong as the rumors say?"
"Even able to force Seric to retreat, is it true?"
On the road, the female Legendary Transformed Person from the Forbidden Army followed behind Commander Kai, asking curiously, eyes eager to try.
The burly man resembling a great ape also looked curious, waiting for the answer.
"I’ve seen the monitor footage from that battle, it has indeed surpassed the Legendary Level."
Calmly answering, the man named Commander Kai stepped slowly towards the fortress’s wall staircase: "Besides, to warrant the Emperor’s attention, it cannot be false."
"This Flame User is indeed a pinnacle powerhouse."
As the words fell, the female transformed person who had inquired earlier had a glint in her eye, and her curiosity grew stronger.
Being able to overshadow the Forbidden Army and attract the Emperor’s attention.
If I could spar with such a powerful person...
"Commander, should we go meet him?"
Tap tap!
Footsteps halted, Commander Kai frowned slightly and turned to look at them.
"Luna, Taiyue, I know what you’re thinking."
"But, don’t blame me for not warning you... put away your thoughts and don’t stir up trouble."
The warning words entered their ears, and Luna, the female transformed person, looked frustrated but nodded.
On the side, the burly man called Taiyue, who resembled a giant ape, shrugged his shoulders, showing his stance.
Seeing that the two heeded the advice, Commander Kai’s expression softened slightly.
Then, he didn’t speak further on the previous topic, nor did he blame the two.
Standing at the edge of the giant wall’s platform, he looked towards the battlefield on the opposite side, tens of kilometers away at the Taiduo Country fortress.
"Let’s go, and don’t forget the task the Emperor entrusted to us."
"The Black Tide... is what we should truly be wary of."
...
At the same time.
In the wilderness mountain forest tens of kilometers away.
The enormous gorge resembled a crack, with rock layers exposed to the air, except for sand and ravines, seemingly devoid of anything else.
However.
Buzz!!
Light refracted, with strands of ripples appearing out of nowhere, blooming in the gorge.
The void seemed to turn into an ocean, generating ripples.
A hole several meters in size appeared in the gorge’s void, vaguely revealing some sort of civilization creation, a metal beast.
Whoosh!!
Immediately, an air current broke through the atmosphere.
It could be seen that Yan Changkong, wearing a white martial arts uniform and holding a silver ancient martial longsword, leaped and appeared, entering it.
Several gigantic metal boxes danced in the air under ultimate intent control, following him back into the gorge, entering the concealed barrier.
Buzz!
In an instant, the invisible barrier was restored, and the previous passage opening seamlessly closed.
With light refraction and signal shielding, the existence of the Wind Raider was again hidden.
Subsequently tracking the Empire’s flying devices soaring across the sky, hovering amidst clouds.
Yet regardless of how they scanned the earth, they couldn’t find any traces.
"These people from the Empire, it seems they’re still uneasy."
Yan Changkong stood at the gorge entrance, sighing; the resource exchanges these days were too frequent, arousing the suspicion of the Ancient Empire.
Still, he wasn’t overly worried; he immediately proceeded with the supplies toward the Ark.
The magnificent pyramid seemed like a giant beast slumbering, with dozens of gigantic mechanical arms extending from within the cabin layer, occasionally emitting sizzling sparks, welding metals, and repairing the cabin.
Seven or eight floating devices circled the pyramid, with intelligent machines affixed above, connecting to special nodes, illuminating light screens, and inspecting modules.
Meanwhile, a huge elevator platform moved up and down, transporting supplies orderly, ready to act.
The scorched marks left by the Federation Sacred and most melted cracks had largely mended, akin to a heavily scarred metal beast about to recover from its wounds.
"Old Yan, you’re pretty fast."
Suddenly, a voice arose.
It was an Angel Spirit waiting there.
Dressed in a blue martial arts uniform, also an equal-level envoy martial artist, named Ji’er.
He could be seen hoisting a gigantic metal block several dozen meters large and nearly a thousand tons in weight, ignoring the elevator platform, and directly leaping to a higher cabin layer of the Ark.
Long accustomed to such scenes, Yan Changkong instead smiled, reminiscing the days at the High Wall Alliance, fighting alongside these companions.
He wasted no words, quickly joining in for more efficient transportation of supplies.
Buzz!
"Have you returned."
Soon, the Star Spirit, sensing the commotion, transformed into a human form again.
Partially manifesting around, she looked at the newly acquired supplies.
The several-meter-sized metal boxes were already open, clearly containing a large energy block akin to a charged blue light.
"Radiant Crystal Source Block."
"Although it’s just a medium series, but..."
Her eyes brightened, sensing Yan Changkong and the others’ curious gazes, she smiled.
"The energy system of the [Wind Raider] can basically be repaired."
"And we can soon... return to Earth Star."
