After the preparations were completed, construction of the defense line began.
The specific construction figures are set at 25 meters high, 5 meters wide and 276 kilometers long.
This is definitely a big project!
But for monks, this is not an impossible task, but the key is time.
They have to build a defense line in just three days!
The top of the high wall is connected to the poisonous swamp, where there are countless poisonous insects and beasts. Even for zombies, it is a place to avoid.
This highly toxic swamp covers an area of tens of thousands of hectares, almost equivalent to five or six first-class cities. The terrain inside is complex and it can be said to be a natural barrier. The soldiers stationed here do not dare to enter easily and regard it as a forbidden area.
.
Especially the poisonous swamp there, the poisonous gas emanating from it can kill a ton-heavy beast in an instant! Soldiers who entered by mistake in the past basically never returned, and even the monitoring bees were unable to enter.
In the past, it was a place of death, but now, it provides them with cover.
In other words, if the army of corpses wants to enter the God Realm, other than passing through the swamp, the only option is here.
After everyone measured the route, work officially started!
Three thousand earth-type soldiers, two thousand gold-type soldiers, and more than 10,000 people acted together!
In the heavy snow, the soldiers worked enthusiastically and did not feel tired at all. In addition to the workers, there were another 5,000 people on guard to prepare for emergencies at any time.
At present, the total combat strength of the starship and base exceeds 40,000 people. In addition to the 10,000 people who stay behind on the starship and base, the other 30,000 people are all invested in construction and security.
It is divided into three shifts, with no rest for 12 hours a day. Each batch works for four hours and then rotates, so as to restore physical strength as soon as possible.
In just one day, the wall was built. Two days later, the prototype was in place. In three days, the hundred-mile city wall was already in full scale.
In the endless wind and snow, a wall more than 20 meters high traverses the wild sandy land.
Like an indestructible fortress or a giant city wall, the base is located in the middle and front surrounded by the wall. The starship is suspended a hundred meters above the base. Looking from a distance, it looks like a giant black bird!
But in the past three days, the army of corpses had not moved at all.
This made them feel a little weird after they quickly completed the city defense.
On the third day, Zitong woke up.
After learning what happened after he fell into coma, his expression was difficult to distinguish for a while.
"Qingwu and Young Master are both in his hands, we must go back..."
"No! Why do you think Xuewei fights against him desperately? Because she doesn't want to see us make unnecessary sacrifices! Even if we go with all our troops, can we really bring her back? To put it bluntly, we
Can anyone here defeat King Tianqu?"
Huangfuchen's words made the room quiet.
"There are also those monsters. Their strength is different from the zombies we encountered before! They are monsters with human intelligence created using soul-catching balls. Captain Zitong, we are not careless when we go this time, or
We underestimated the enemy. On the contrary, we brought over all the strongest warriors. But the result was that they were vulnerable to a single blow!"
"What are you saying about being vulnerable? Your words are too long, and others are destroying their own prestige, aren't they?" A soldier next to him couldn't help but feel indignant.
Zitong waved his hand, and the unconvinced warrior retreated.
Huangfu Chen paused, "I'm not exaggerating or deliberately promoting the enemy's strength. Captain Zitong should know best."
"I understand." Having fought against those monsters himself, he knew very well that Huangfuchen's words were not lies.
Huangfu Chen's expression softened slightly, "Just those few monsters have killed so many soldiers. Even if we take more people, it will only increase the casualties."
Although these words are cruel, they are true. No one knows better than them that in the face of absolute strength, quantity has never been the decisive factor.
"We currently have sufficient troops, but you don't know that the God Realm is currently experiencing civil strife. The frozen zombies sent in by King Tianqu suddenly awakened and are causing trouble everywhere. The war is about to break out... If the zombies in the wilderness are at this moment
If the ghost army goes straight into the God Realm, then we will be attacked from both sides..."
Zitong's expression changed slightly.
He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen during the few days he was in coma.
"So how is the territory now? Where is Mirror Imperial City? Emperor Zun..."
"I can't contact him yet, so I'm afraid something has happened."
If not, how could he not show up for so long?
I heard from Xueqiu that Lightning was with him, so he should have noticed something. He valued Xuewei so much and didn't want to see her suffer any harm. If a man like that doesn't encounter force majeure factors, even if
Even if I draw my last breath, I will return to the city.
The atmosphere is solemn.
"Right now, we must ensure that this last line of defense into the God Realm is not breached, otherwise, all Xuewei's efforts will be in vain."
They had gone through so many difficulties, and he believed that they would be able to overcome the danger this time.
He believed in Ling Xuewei.
Therefore, he had to take care of all the follow-up matters for Ling Xuewei and be her solid backing.
This was what the long-standing tacit understanding told him when their eyes met.
Zi Tong was surprised. He could feel that the tacit understanding between Huangfu Chen and the young master was unexplainable. It can only be cultivated through countless ups and downs. There is no need for famous quotes, sometimes just a look can understand each other's meaning.
.
He also didn't expect that the person in front of him could sort out the chaotic and muddy situation bit by bit and see through the surface to the essence. It made him feel... like when he faced the young master.
"You... are worthy of the young master's side."
Zitong sighed.
Huangfu Chen was startled, then chuckled. Compared with that guy, he was still far behind.
Also because they have come out of the trough, they will always put themselves in the lowest position.
…
At this moment, Guan Zhixing received a message from Di Jian, explaining to him the progress on the Wilderness side. Everything was going well so far.
Unexpectedly, bad news suddenly came.
"What did you say? What do you mean missing?"
Guan Zhixing stood up suddenly after listening to the report from the people below!
"It's... the guard guarding the ice room reported that... he was attacked and the elder Zun disappeared."
Buzz!
Guan Zhixing felt his head buzzing and his eyesight went dark! After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Take me there!"
He hurried to the ice room at the foot of Fenglin Mountain. At this moment, the ice room was surrounded by strict soldiers.
When the leading secret guard saw Guanzhi Xing, he quickly knelt down and said, "This subordinate has neglected his duty..."
He quickly entered the ice room and saw a mess inside the ice room.
There are still traces of the battle at the scene, as well as dozens of corpses... including secret guards and formation mages specially guarding here.
