Chapter 1067 Enemy Attack!
The rain of swords. This was an attack that everyone had heard of, but not seen before. It was said that in the palace, the swords that Lu Shu had used covered the sky, instantly killing 1000 underlings and ten patrons.
Now, the Black Feather Army was beneath, but they were still facing Lu Shu.
Liu Yizhao calmly watched this scene. “The era where everyone below is a lackey of the king has finally arrived.”
Zhang Weiyu fell silent. No one knew what he was thinking about.
The next moment, the rain of swords fell like shooting stars. Even the stars were not as bright as the swords.
Li Heitan muttered, “The Ninth Heavenly King? Who are the previous eight? Are they even stronger than the Great Lord?”
The fortress at Luo City had been completed. The construction workers had given up on rest. Everyone was racing against time.
They were very clear that every moment they saved while building the fortress would give their comrades in the Heavenly Network more time.
Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao led the Flood of Bronze and stood on the city wall. Everyone in the fortress were nervously preparing for war.
The fortress was vast and lofty. It was as if a hill had landed in Luo City, covering the entire region from Luo City to Longmen Mountain.
The civilians had all evacuated. They were at the Beimang mountains, waiting for the train to bring them away.
The secret pract.i.tioners were in charge of maintaining order, as well as the arrangements for their journey. Every time a train arrived, they would send civilians on the train according to the name list away from this dangerous land.
None of the secret pract.i.tioners ran away. No one complained either. If they were tired, they would lie on the ground and sleep. They would continue to work when they woke up.
Times of great danger tested civilizations. These civilizations might go astray during times of peace, but never disappointed when there was danger, as someone would always step up.
The grains had all been transported. The Heavenly Network knew that this would be a long battle. The opening of the s.p.a.ce pathway had become more frequent. From the aggression of the Black Feather Army, the Heavenly Network would have to face a long battle.
Thus, they had to prepare enough rations. The fortress had to be strong enough as well. If the Black Feather Army broke through the fortress, all the soldiers in the fortress would perish.
Luo City was the first barrier in blocking the Black Feather Army. It was also their final defense. The Black Feather Army was much stronger than the Heavenly Network. The Heavenly Network had no choice but to gather all their Pract.i.tioners for this battle.
Not only were the civilians in Luo City evacuating, even the civilians in Yuzhou had run to their relatives’ houses far away.
Some said that they would have been fine without the magically rich era. The Earth had been peaceful for a long time before the magically rich era.
But did they have a choice? No.
Chen Zuan was melancholic. “When will Brother Shu return? We might not be able to defeat them. Why isn’t he back?”
“Brother Shu would have his own plans. All we have to do is take care of our own affairs,” said Cheng Qiuqiao calmly. “Don’t think that you can change the topic about my car. Tell me. What are you going to do about it?”
Chen Zuan was speechless. Cheng Qiuqiao’s car had not been repaired. Over two months had pa.s.sed!
But it was not that Chen Zuan did not want to repair it. There was no one to repair it!
They had overlooked one point. After the Black Feather Army had attacked, all the civilians in the city had escaped, including the insurance staff, and the repairmen in the city…
How were they supposed to repair the car without a repairman? They could only leave it as it was!
There were construction workers who could repair cars, but they were very nervous over building the fortress. Many of them did not sleep for days in order to complete their work. They had to ensure that their work quality met the minimum standards as well.
Under these circ.u.mstances, how could Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao trouble someone to repair the car for them?
“Qiuqiao, look at how many people there are in the fortress. Even the quant.i.ty of food has decreased. No one knows when the Black Feather Army will come. Shouldn’t we focus on the national economy and the livelihood of the people? How can you worry about your own problems during times like this,” said Chen Zuan with stern righteousness.
Recently, the number of people in the fortress had increased significantly. As a result, the serving portion in the fortress had decreased. It was not that the cooks were not doing their jobs well. They just had too many meals to make. Occasionally, people who had never cooked before joined them in their jobs.
But everyone knew the reason behind this. They would not complain.
“Heh heh.” Cheng Qiuqiao calmly smiled. “And?”
“Look at it this way.” Chen Zuan lowered his voice. “I will help you improve your rations, and you will forget about your car for now. Is it a deal?”
Cheng Qiuqiao was dumbfounded. “How will you improve my rations?”
Chen Zuan took out two large eggs from his invisible storage equipment. “It was difficult for me to find these.”
Chen Zuan had received the acknowledgment of his family. Although his financial situation did not improve, the Chen family had given him their invisible storage equipment that they had treasured for a long time. There was only one set in the entire Chen family. Chen Baili had found his s.p.a.ce ring himself!
The eggs were two times the size of a chicken egg. He asked, “What are those?”
“Peac.o.c.k eggs,” said Chen Zuan in a small voice. “Since there was no one in the zoo, I went to take some. I heard that they are very fragrant!”
Cheng Qiuqiao’s expression darkened. “How could you steal their eggs? Peac.o.c.ks are protected by the government!”
Chen Zuan did not expect Cheng Qiuqiao to oppose him like this. He was slightly scared. “The peac.o.c.k said that it did not want the eggs…”
Cheng Qiuqiao was speechless.
Did it make sense for a peac.o.c.k to say so?!
“You’d better return it. Did you hear me?” Cheng Qiuqiao was upset.
Chen Zuan muttered, “Why do we have to care about whether they are protected in this age? We need people to protect us, let alone these animals…”
But at that moment, they suddenly felt a ma.s.sive wave of energy exploding in front of them. This feeling was familiar. The waves were so large that one would be able to sense them, even if they were not a sensory type.
Suddenly, Chen Zuan saw an invisible door appear half a kilometer away from the fortress. Then, a black wave poured in. They were ready to kill!
It was the Black Feather Army! After two months, the Black Feather Army had come to attack the Earth once again!
Chen Zuan sensed his blood boiling. He turned and roared, “Enemy attack!”
Everyone was growing. Lu Shu, Lu Xiaoyu, Cheng Qiuqiao, and Chen Zuan were all growing.
These immature young people would eventually become the cornerstones of defense.
The next moment, Chen Zuan pulled down his helmet. He stood on the city wall, waiting for the arrival of the Black Feather Army. The Longmen fortress was the Heavenly Network’s first line of defense against the Black Feather Army.
Then Chen Zuan was willing to become the second line of defense!
This would be a life-and-death battle. There was no turning back.
